Mexico City, Jan. 12.-The meeting
fixed for this morning between the
representatives of the American, Mex
lean, Argentine and Peruvian dele
cations to the Pan-American confer
ence for the purpose of definitely de-
Gliding the arbitration dispute, did not
take place, as the American represen-
tative asked for a further postpone
ment. In the meantime the Argentines
say that if arguments are prolonged
beyond a reasonable point they win
withdraw. The Chileans, however,
have not abated their demand that
the compulsory plan shall not be re-
ported to the conference. In case the
Argentines withdraw in the coming
week they claim they can carry five
of the delegations with them. The
Chileans, however, say only the Pc
ruvians and the Bolivians will with
draw with the Argentines.

DULL WEEK IN PROSPECT.
Pension Bill to Pass and Cuban Rec
iprocity Discussion to Begin.

iprocity Discussion to Begin.
Washington, Jan. 12.-The really i'm
portant work of the House of Repre-
sentatives, aside from the Nicaragua
canal bill, is still in the committee
stage, so that there is little of inn
portance to be considered during the
coming week. Monday will be given
to bills affecting the District of Co
lumbia. After that the pension ap-
preparation bill will be passed. AL
though this measure carries about $139,-
000,00O it follows the department esti-
mates and does not involve any Sc
rious issues so that after a brief eX-
PLANTATION its passage usually follows
promptly. The Ways and Means Com
mittee has a few minor bills on the
calendar for the redemption of reVe-
nue. stamps made worthless by the re-
peal of certain features of the war
revenue act. With the disposal of
these bills there will be little to en-
gage the attention of the House, and
there promises to be several periods
of adjournment, during which time the
committees will perfect the larger
measures to be brought before the
House. The chief interest of the week
will center in the hearings on Cuban
reciprocity, to begin at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning before the Ways
and Means Committee. The hearings
will continue for several days, and it
is expected that Gen. Wood and others
prominent in Cuban affairs, as well as
the interests opposed to reciprocity,
will address the committee.

Candidates and Platform Conflict.
The Kansas City Star, which

itics but in most things is Re
publican and is owned and con.
trolled by Republican, makes
the following comment concern.
ing the Republican State plat
form adopted at Jefferson City
and the Republican State can.
didates nominated at Joplin:
THE Republicans made a
campaign issue of the way the
permanent school fund Of the
State is handled in their plat
form adopted at Jefferson City
/ three weeks ago. They raised
| the point that the certificates S
of Indebtedness issued by the
State in lieu Of school fund
bonds were wrong and robbiug
the school children Of the
! StaCe.
The Democrats in answering
this charge, said the certifica tes
were issued by an act of the
legislature which both parties
voted for and Judge Moses Why.
bark voted for and made a
speech in support of the first
issue when be was member OF
the Legislature. Why bark S
speech is referred to by Sam B.
Cook in his state campaign
handbook. The Republicans
promptly put Judge Whybark
on their ticket. There is one
consolation for the Democrats.
He won't attack the certificates
of Indebtedness, neither will
his associate on the ticket.
Judge Hlgbee, for Judge Hig,
bee as . member of the legisla
ture from Schuyler county vot'
ed for one of the later issues OF
the same certificates of indebt.
edness. With conditions as
they are the Democrats would
not allow their ticket to con
tradict their platform"
The Joplin convention is tc
be congratulated upon its work,
Judging by the character OF the
men it has placed upon the
State ticket the "school fund
clause in the Jefferson City
platform, made by the recent
Republican convention in tina I
city, has been repudiated. Al
least Judges Whybark and Hig
bee will not be expected tC
make their campaigns on the
hallucinating howl of "lo oteC

begun by Republican orators
and the Globe Democrat. In
deed, by its actions at Joplir
the Republican party has showr
strong symptoms of repentance
