DELEGATES FROM
 AMERICA WON

Montevideo, Uruguay, Dec. 7-- (UP) victorious in side tracking injection of debts into the Pan American conference, the Am erican delegation faced a new fight to keep out League of Nations in- fiuence.
 A conference subcommittee by a three to two vote shunted to the inter-American high commission at Washington the proposal for a six year debt moratorium.
 But with this threat out of the way there came the specter of the league which was haunted Ameri- can administrations for 14 years to worry Secretary of State Cordell Hull and his fellow delegates.
 Several L.atin-American delegates were considering an invitation to the league to send an observor.

 The financial statement cov- ering the years financial picture up to September 30th shows, in general, at glance that in view of the times and the inabil- ity of a great many persons to pay the taxes the city is successfully manoeuvering itself through diff cult straits, situation which is confronting every city in the country.
 Entire Cash Deficit
 According to the nint-month re- port, the entire cash deficit for the year of 1892 amounted to $1,17O,466.16 and was caused by the non-payment of taxes during 1882. This deficit was paid to the general fund this year from the surplus resource sinking fund, the statement shows.
 The total appropriations for 1893 set up in the current budget amount to $7,174,290. 57. Today's report shows that for the first nine months the sum of $5,255,938.t6 was expended, leaving a net bal ance of $1,918,351.81 for operating the various departments during the final quarter of 1883, which is now drawing near to a close. ; Easy to Understand
 The financial statement issued today by Controller Daniel J. Leafy is not intricate in form but is very simple and the facts may be un- derstood by all taxpayers.
 Mayor Frank Hayes and Control Ter Leary joined in issuing today's statement in accordance with their pledge to the public to do so. Today they invited everybody to make a careful inspection of the figures submitted.

CITY BOOKS WILL
 BE BALANCED IN
 VERY FEW WEEKS
Steps Have Already Been Taken to End Work
 By Dec. 3lst

Steps to balance the books of the city for the current year will be launched this afternoon at a meet ing of the board of finance, Con- troller Daniel J. Leary stated this morning. Numerous departmental and inter-departmental transfers will be authorized by the finance commissioners at the request of the controller. The list of proposed transfers was being prepared early this afternoon.
 Most of the departments of the city government have succeeded in living within their appropriations due to the imposition of the strict est of economy regulations. How ever, the welfare department. 1t IS felt. is likely to show a deficit with the result that transfers will be made from other departments which have not exhausted their budget accounts.

 NEW DEAL PLAN
Europe to Work Out Some Plan and United States

BY RICHARD ID. MCMILLAN Copyright 1888, by United Press)
 Paris, Dec 7.-(UP)--Signs that the New Year might bring com plete new deal in world politics multiplied in European capitals to- day.
 Activities in Rome, Paris. Lon don and Berlin. indicated that such a new deal might involve the death of the Versailles treaty, the rebirth of the League of Nations and a disarmament treaty on new, business-like lines.
 Premier Benito Mussolini of and ignoring disappointments and rebuffs to his peace efforts of the last few months, was at the center of the work.
 The United Press was informed on high authority today that Mus solini believes he has the pledged support of Great Britain and France for his long dreamed plan for reorganizing the League of Nations.
 Ends Britain and France
 It would be reorganization that would end the domination of Britain and France in the League Council and would end the power of small nations to paralyze league acts by veto.,
 As supplement to his plans for league reorganization Mussolini pictures the possibility of a seven power entente to maintain peace among the great nations and en- force it on the small ones by moral pressure.
 In such an entente might be embraced = he hoped the United States, Japan. Russia, Bri- tain, France. Germany and Italy.
 Confessing the strong possibility that neither the United States nor Japan would adhere to such an agreement, Mussolini falls back on the idea of including Russia along with Italy, Britain, France and Germany in a five nation treaty to maintain the peace in Europe and to cooperate closely in world pofi- tics generally.

YOUNG PIANIST IN
RECITAL LAST NIGHT
Irving Phillips Shows Unusual
Ability Before Large
Audience.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

BY ALICE EvERSMAN.
Irving Phillips, 14-year-old pianist,
was presented in recital last evening by
Nine. Marie Won Unschuld at the
Willard Hotel before a large and
friendly audience that received the
young recitalist with acclaim. He held
the attention without effort and gave
a performance of remarkable ability.
The attitude Of Master Phillips to-
ward his music Is serious and thought
full and this alone should prove an in
valuable asset in his development as
an artist. He gives out the idea that
music means a great deal to him and
his approach to 1t has already a ma
turity that presages brilliant future.
Endowed with a beautiful tone, full
and singing, and with great possibilities
for expressiveness in its quality, he has
also strength and lightness in his touch.
His appreciation of phrasing and tonal
variety is already highly artistic and
as far as technical development is con-
cerned, he is fully ready for public
appearances. His interpretive sense is
true and imbued with warm feeling
make OF him an inspired and poetic
player.
The program last evening was q tax
ing one, but Master Phillips was fully
equal to its demands. In the Bach
Prelude and Fugue in D Major" which
was his first number, he kept the out
line clear and played With nice balance
of effect. Beethoven's Moonlight
Sonata" was given with remarkable
understanding of color and sentiment
and with great exactness as to dynamics
ana finely etched shadings. Many
more experienced performer has not
which Master Phillips found in 1t, and
which is an excellent foundation for
the more poetical Interpretation which
is sure to follow.
The "Conzertstueck in F. Minor" by
Weber, is the other extreme from THE
Moonlight Sonata" but gave the young
pianist a splendid opportunity to dis
play brilliant technic and particu-
larly fine rhythmic sense. He swept
through the technical passages with
ease and with mastery style. He
was accompanied at the second piano
by Nine Won Unshuld. who, in spite
of an extremely bad instrument, gave
a firm background to the soloist
Sharp Minor" and his "Etude in F
Minor" and LISTS "Rhapsodie Hon
groise No. 8" finished the program.
While his good schooling was eviden.
throughout. there were many moments
where an especially fine and delicate
bit of playing showed Master Phillips
own individuality in clear light and
proved that his talent is very much
above the ordinary 1t will be inter-
esting to watch his progress. The ap-
plause accorded him last evening was
a sincere tribute to an artistic per-
formance and the demand for encores
to a program which was not long, at
tested the real pleasure he gave his
listeners.

and heroine-a quartet of stringed in
strunentalists twanged chorus with
piano interpretations, the author read
explanatory scenes and a mystery man
did all the prompting.
Jesse Lasky was a bit frazzled what
with the unusual quality of 1t all.
