ARGENTINA'S DELEGATES NOW THREATEN
TO LEAVE THE MEXICAN CONFERENCE.
Mexico City. Mex, Jan. 12.-The meetings fixed
for this morning between the representatives of the
American, Mexican, Argentine and Peruvian dele

the compulsory plan shall not be reported to the

about what they will do If it shall be.
The Chans base their claims not only on the
general understanding that nothing dsa greeable TO
Chill was TO be discussed by the conference but
upon the alleged verbal and specific promise that
the subject of compulsory arbitration should not
be brought up The Mexicans say the Chilians
misunderstood the real import of this interview.

WILL NIXON KO-TOW TO HILL?
POSSIBLE UNLESS LEADERS AGREE.
~ TELEGFAPH 20 rHE TRIBuNE.l

iBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.1
Albany Jan. 12.-Patrick Z. McCabe, who is
q member Of the Democratic State Committee,
ana an ardent Hill man, said tonight that if
MIR. Nixon, who has been designated the new
leader Of Tammany Hail. does not recognize the
leadership of Senator Hill in State politics, and
does not cooperate with the Greater New-Yorl
Democracy with this end in view. a united
Democracy in the next State campaign is an i'm
possibility
Mr.. McCabe also expressed grave doubt as
to whether Mr.. Nixon would be the real leader
of the organization. and said that if he does
ultimately prove himself its actual leader it
would be the first instance of the kind in the
history of the city State. He said:
Leaders are born, not made. If Mr.. Croker
still keeps an unseen hand on the workings of
The Tammaay machine and continues its an
tagonism to Senator HILL not only will the State
Democracy face continued defeat but Tammany
as we'll Will continue to dsintegrate. The first
question to be considered is, whether Mr. Gro
kers retirement is honest and sincere. Has
ne, in fact, actually stepped down? If he has.
ms apdicatlon must be regarded by Tammany
Hall essential to it's future success. The
next question is whether MI Nixons designa-
ton as leader was made because he was the
most competent and capable member of the
organization for this place, or was it merely an
expression or friendship on the part of Mr..
Croker. II Mr.. Nixon chosen because of
his merits. he certainly has assumed a RESPONSE
bility the like OF which has not rested on the
shoulders of any young politician in the last
twenty-five years If Mr.. Nixon will be ad-
vfsed by the leader of the Democracy of the
state-yes, ! may say Of the nation, namely,
David B. Hill, Mr.. Croker will have rendered
by his abdication service tn his party which
will bring about harmony and ultimate
cess. If, on the ether hand, he continues the
present policy of Tammany Hall and its
power to disrupt the upstate organization.
has been done, there can be no success for the
Democracy in the State. Success will come
only when all Democrats are united, and not
until then
The Democratic party has suffered in the
State because of the conflict between Mr.. Croker
and Mr.. Hill. Tammany has suffered in con-
sequence Of the feud between Mr.. Croker and
the friends of Senator Hill, who now headed
by MIR. Sheehan. The question now is: Can
Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Sheehan agree? If they
can. who bring that agreement better than
Senator Hill? In my opinion there is no one.

LORrMER ON LIQUOR QUESTION
INCIDENTALLY HE REPLIES TO THE Ut
TERANCEs OF DIR. RAINsFoRD.


The Rev Dr. George C. Lorimer preached last
night at the Madison Avenue Baptist Church on
.'Ths Drink Question and Human Degradation
He said that two things were to be considered. one
was that the highest authorities held tnat hauot
was not essential TO health and the other that
there was so much adulteration as TO make liquor
even more dangerous than would otherwise be the
case. He continued:
But there is surely no reason why we should fos-

DR.. Lorimer referred to DR.. Rainsford's
ton that the womans Christian Temperance
Union was doing the devils work. He said that
he did not wish TO harsh language. but that
this statement mischievously misleading. Hs
also inveished against the idea that the saloon
was the poor mans club. The only resemblance.

said there much difference between the

strong plea that the wealthy should keep their
clubs closed Sunday. He declared that public
opinion could be formed by the reputable and the
wealthy. and he maintained that II was possible
20 create a sentiment which would keep Sunday
ests.
DR.. Lorimer said that the temperance people
and the church people should intemperate
words. He added that If there were much more
clerical talk. the people who engaged in the
saloon traffic would doubtless come 10 consider
themselves much abused, and might put up
over the entrances to their barrooms the inscrip-
ton. For of such is the Kingdom OF Heaven

ORIGIN OF THE KISS.
The Greek Story of the Way In
Which 1t Came Into Being.

The Greek Story of the Way In
Which 1t Came Into Being.
kissing is usually accepted as an
agreeable fact, and it's theory and his
tory are ignored, but if kissing did not
begin with Adam and Eve it began
with the beautiful young Greek shep-
herdess who found an opal on one Of
the hills Of Greece and, wishing to
give it to a youthful shepherd whose
hands were busy with his flock, let
him take it from her lips with his own,
says Science S;ftings. Thus the kiss
was invented, and perhaps the popular
superstition against the opal may be
traced back to the same incident, for
osculation has wrought great tragedies
in the worlds history.
kissing was once an act of religion.
The nearest friend of dying person
performed the right Of receiving his
soul by kiss, supposing that it es-
capped through his lips at the moment
Of expiration. 1t is said that kissing
was first introduced into England by
royalty. The British monarch Forti-
germ gave a banquet in honor Of his
Scandinavian allies, at which RoweDa,
the beautiful daughter of Hengist, was
present. During the proceedings, after
pressing a brimming beaker to her
lips, she saluted the astonished and de-
lighted monarch with kiss ''after the
manner Of her people"
The most honorable royal kiss on rec
ord is that which Queen Margaret of
France in the presence of the whole
court one day imprinted on the lips of
the ugliest man in the kingdom, Alain
Charter, whom she found asleep. To
those around her she said, Il do not
kiss the man, but the mouth that has
uttered so many charming things"
