CHILE MAKES THREATS
10. ANGRY OVER sMExico's POSI-
TON ON COMPULSORY AR
RiTRATIoN.
MAY RECALL ITS LEGATION

Using Every Effort to Induce the Mex
lean Delegates to Withdraw From
the Aqreement-Latter Cannot Do
So as They Have Already Signed 1t
and Are In Honor Bound to Stand
by Their Act.
Mexico City, Jan. 4.-The arbitra-
ton situation in the Pan-American
congress must reach a crisis soon. W..
I. Buchanan, the United States mem
Der of the arbitration committee, held
a meeting with high Mexican officials
during the afternoon with a view to
discussing a possible basis OF agree
ment. It is not, however, understood
how the Mexican delegation can pos
sibly withdraw from the compulsory
plan as the Chileans want them to do,
first, because the Mexicans have
signed the plan, and, secondly, be-
cause it was made an express cond1-
ton by one of the South American
delegates for signing The Hague con.
vention that the Mexicans should join
them in a compulsory plan Of arbitra-
ton. Therefore, the Mexicans are in
honor bound to stand where they are.
The Chileans have made some threats,
one being that they will withdraw
their legation from Mexico if they can
not have their way.
In one of their interviews with the
minister of foreign relations, Senior
Ignacio Mariscal, the Chilean dele
gates informed him that they were
surprised that Mexico should have
done anything in the matter of arbitra'
ton in the Pan-American conference
without their knowledge and consent
Senior Mariscal told them very shortly
Mexico was not prepared to receive
lectures from anybody.

4 Subject That Requires Information

Andrew Carnegie's opinion regarding
the practicability. of reciprocity, while
entitled to consideration, Is not con-
elusive. In practice 1t Is difficult
to arrange the details not only with
other nations, but with American
interests. 1t should not be forgot

by the Harrison administration under

eued-Accident Occurs Off Cape
Mendocino, Cal.
San Francisco, Jan. "A collision
at sea early Thursday morning be-
tween the steamship Walla Walla and
an unknown sailing vessel resulted in
the sinking of the steamship and the
probable loss of at least 20 lives.
The Walla Walla, owned by the Pa
sific Coast Steamship company, sailed
from San Francisco Jan. for Puget
sound ports. She carried Sc first class
passengers, % second class and crew
Of 80 men. When off Cape Mendocino,
on the California coast, Thursday
morning, an iron bark, believed to be
French, doomed up in the haze and
crashed into the Walla Walla's bow.
Then the sailing vessel slid off into
the darkness and was seen no more.
All the passengers and crew of the
Walla Walla, except the few on watch,
were asleep, but were aroused by the
crash. The steerage quarters were in
the bow and it is believed that some Of
the steerage passengers and crew were
crushed to death. A big hole was
made in the steamers bow and she
sank in 35 minutes. The officers and
crew maintained strict discipline and
boats and life RATS were lowered. All
who were not killed in the collision got
off except Captain Hall, who went
down with his ship. He was picked up
later by one Of the boats, uninjured,
with the exception of few bruises.
Drifted About All Day.
There was a choppy sea running
and the small boats could not make
landing on the shore, few miles dis
tant. They drifted about all day and
finally IS people were picked up by
the steamer Dispatch, which took
them to Eureka. Another boat under
command of Engineer Brown and con-
tanning 13 persons attempted to land
ct Trinidad and was swamped. John
Wilkinson, quartermaster; William
Martel, fireman; L. Drube, passenger,
and three unknown men were drowned.
Those in the boat who were saved
were Engineer Brown, Fireman John
Mcclellan, Coal Passer. William Shinn,
Sailor O'Leary, Chief Cook Marshall
and Passengers William B. Smith and
William Moorehouse.
When the Dispatch reached Eureka
with the survivors tugs were imme-
diately sent out for missing boats. The
tug Ranger picked up one containing
IL passengers and of the crew.
The Walla Walla was valued at
shout $250,000. She was formerly
used as a collier and about 10 years
ago was converted into a passenger
vessel at cost Of $175,000. The YES
BEL was insured for about 100000.

Near JohnstoWn. Pa.


Johnstown, Pa, Jan. 4.-Three
trains were piled up in wreck on the
Pennsylvania re'lroad about seven
miles west of this city. According to
the best reports obtainable one man

was caused by train No. IA, an east
bound mail and express train that
carries through passengers from Pitts
burg to New York, running into a
sidetrack on which was standing an
eastbound freight train. The wreck.
age was piled up high over the tracks
and before. fiagmen could be sent out

THE FRENCH BARK EUROPE.
Believed to Be the Ship in Collision
w lth the WaIIa WaIla,

Portland, Or, Jan. 4.-Shipping men
here beueve that the vessel which
was in collision with the steamer
Walla Walla near Mendocino is the f.
masted French bark Europe. The Eu-
rope left here Dec. IL for queenstown
with cargo of wheat. Under ordinary
weather conditions the Europe would
have been further on her journey, but
for several weeks the weather has
been rough, and it is very probable,
shipping men say, that the Europe
was the vessel in collision. She car
ried a crew of 80 men.

WAY TO REACH TRUSTS.
Abrogation OF the Old Democratic
State Rights Idea.

AbrOgation OF the Old Democratic
State Rights Idea.
Our Democratic friends make no end
Of their talk against trusts. Now that
they have been forced to realize that
their fifty cent dollar idea Is not win
ner they have apparently set out to
win by antitrust talk. But how hollow
II all is!
There is only one obvious way to
reach trusts and that is by the exercise
Of the Republican idea that this is
nation. The old Democratic idea Of
states rights is in reality congenial
doctrine for trusts. 1t Is the exercise
Of that doctrine on the part Of New
Jersey that seems to be responsible for
our trusts; at least the larvae are hatch
ed therein.
In the Fifty-sixth congress Repub-
ucan member Of the house, realizing
the necessity for that preliminary &C
ton without which all talk is merely
wind, introduced joint resolution
looking to the submission to the vari-
Gus states Of the proposed amendment
to the national constitution which Is
subjoined. 1t was voted on June 1,
1900. OF the 154 yeas $50 were Re-
publican. OF the 1872 nays $50 were
Democrats and Populists. The resolu-
ton was lost because there was not a
two-thirds vote in it's favor. The DEM
ocrats, true to their states rights doc
trine, defeated the initial step for the
adoption Of the following amendment
to the national constitution:
