Peru's memorial on compulsory arbi-
tration in support of the treaty on that
subject which had already passed
through the conference was thor
oughly temperate in tone. copy of 1t
was at to-day's session presented to
the Chilean delegation which made abb
solutely no objection or observation of
any kind. The memorial without being
read was referred by the Chair to the
Foreign Relations Department of Mex
leo which course had previously been
taken with respect to a memorial on
voluntary arbitration presented by the
Chilean delegation. This places both
sides on an even footing in the matter
and gives satisfaction to all.

declaring it to be impossible to ac-
cede to the request of New Orleans

officio chairman.
