from Cleveland, Hill and Cochran.
Philadelphia. Jan. S--A small circle
of the younger Democratic lawyers of
this city observed Jackson Day by
giving a dinner tonight at the Hotel
Bellevue. James w. King, well known
among the younger lawyers, presided.
Letters from former President Cleve-
and a telegram from Bourke Cochran
were read, which provoked consider
able applause from the diners. Mr..
Cleveland wrote:
II am glad to know that there are
at least thirty young Democrats in
Philadelphia, who are unwilling to al
low Jackson Day to pass without
recognition.
The inclination to neglect observ-
ance of a day that has been so long
and so strongly related to genuine
Democratic sentiments, may reason
ably, / think be counted among the
affective visitations that have lately
weakened and depressed our party
organization.
'I hope the spirit of true Jacksonian
Democracy may pervade your celebra-
ton; and that it's participants may de-
rive satisfaction and stimulation from
their efforts to revive and strengthen
the principles and practices of our old
time, honest, consistent and aggressive
Democratic faith
Hills Good Doctrine.
Senator Hill, in his letter, said
Your letter has just reached me.
I give you this sentiment: A strict con-
struction of the federal constitution.
No entangling alliances with foreign
nations. Insistence upon the reserved
rights of the states. Public taxation for
public purposes only Opposition to
monopolies and dangerous combina-
tions of capital. The preservation of
the personal liberty of the citizen. No
Capitalization. Home rule for states
and municipalities. These are Demo
cratic principles which survive all de-
feats and must ultimately triumph

MAY COMPROMISE IN MEXICO.
Mr.. buchanan Suggests. an Amend
ment to the Rules which May
Relieve the situation.

Mexico City. Jan. SIT is now
thought that the compulsory arbitra-
tion plan can be reported to the Pan
American conference by the committee
under an amendment of the rules
which has been suggested by W. l..
Buchanan of the United States dele
cation. The amendment will be to the
effect that when a single committee
reports two proposed treaties, one
unanimous and the other signed by a
majority. the forms shall be- recorded
in the main protocol at the termina-
ton of the conference and the latter
in a supplementary protocol.
When this amendment is introduced
it will have the support of the ten sig
natories of the compulsory plan and
also of the United States delegation
and perhaps one or two more. IL car
ried the arbitration committee will pre-
sent the two proposed conventions one
by virtue of which all the nations rep
resented at the conference will adhere

bracing the compulsory scheme of arbi-
tration and the two conventions will be
dealt with under the amendment of the
rules above mentioned. This is as yet
only a probable solution.
