THE PAN.AmERICANS.
They Trip the Light Fantastic Toe
at Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, October 23.-The PAN
Americans left Chicago this morning. On
their arrival here they were taken in
carriages and shown the business and
residence portions of the city. The party
is in charge of Captain Burke, U. S. A.,
temporarily, in the absence of w. E.
Curtis, the representative OF the State
Department, who is ill in Chicago.
When lunch had been finished num-
bsr of short speeches were made, after
which the drive about the city was re-
sumed, the chief feature of interest being
the National Soldiers Home on the out
skirts of the city. Thessouthern visitors
saw with some wonder the great num-
bers of veterans all in uniform, drawn
up in line all along the beautiful grounds.
After a hotel dinner the party
in the evening attended reception ex-
tended at the home of John L. Mitchell.
A new diversion was there offered. A
canvas tent, connected by covered way
with the house, was pitched on the
lawn, and there the visitors danced until
late in the evening, when they were
driven to their train, which started at
midnight for st. Paul.

The programme of the Senate Commit
tee on Railways has been modified as to
their visit here. They will arrive in Los
Angeles this morning, at what hour is
not known, as an occasional washout may
be encountered on the road. They will
proceed directly to Cotton and Riverside.
and thence 60 down to San Diego. Re-
turning, they will arrive in Los Angeles
Friday morning, going down to San Pedro
and inspecting the harbor. and returning
to Los Angeles the same day. The prob
ability is that they will remain over here
till and including Saturday, and it is to
be heartily hoped they may. The fore
going modification of the original plan
was telegraphed here last night, and will
in all likelihood be carried out, the
weather permitting.

Trying TO shed Rank.

There is strong tendency at times on
the part of members of royal and i'm
perial families in Europe to descend to
the private station. A telegraphic dis
patch, the other day, informed us that
the Archduke John Salvador had petit
toned his uncle, the Emperor of Austria,
to be allowed to resign his imperial dig
mites. He is reported to be anxious to
accept the command of an English mer.
chairman, Which has been rendered him.
In all probability there is some
affair of the heart behind this
application. The Austrian court has
been the strictest in Europe in maintain.
ing the traditions of imperial birth, and
the etiquette of the court of Vienna is
of iron rigidity. The heir apparent to
the Austrian throne, Prince Rudolph,
wa s undoubtedly driven to commit sui
eide by the embarrassments arising from
his official station, which sadly inter-
fered with his devotion to the woman he
loved. The Archduke John Salvador,
who is making a determined effort to
get rid Of rank and its environments, is
quite we'll known in Los Angeles. In
the year 1857 he spent some six
months here, accompanied by a modest
suite. Nobody had the slightest idea of
his exalted rank, and he amused himself
by making sketches of objects of interest
hereabouts. On his return to Vienna he
published book entirely devoted to this
city and county, paying no heed whatso.
ever to the rest of the State, illustrated
with sketches from his own hand,
aud they were very cleverly
done. The book was Issued from
the imperial press of Vienna, and
was an exceedingly handsome publica-
ton. If Archduke John Salvador were
a nephew of the Emperor Of Russia one
would understand his anxiety to get rid
of his exalted rank, especially if he were
in the direct line of succession, but in
Austria things have not been made so
lively for Kinglings as in the adjoining
empire.

The Wheat Growers, salvation.

ST.. LOUIS, October 23.-The wheat
growers of the Mississippi valley assem-
bled here today to organize tor future
action. Walter N. Allen, President of
the Farmers Federation, called the
meeting to order, and made long speech
on the needs of farmers. He said if
farmers would organize like manufactur-
ers to control production and regulate
the output in the public market, they
could in common with all producers set
the price of our products, irrespective of
over-production or the power of the Liv-
erpool market. The unavoidable ten
dency of the present system is to bring
prices down to the lowest limit at which
the food supply can be produced.
'In order to avert impending ruin we
must reverse this order of things. The
power to establish the value of one
bushel of American wheat and one bar
rel Of mess pork, can control the markets
of the world. This power is to be found
in the centralized agency OF the FEEDER
ated Farmers of the Mississippi valley,
company legally chartered with cap
ital stock of $20,000,0 900, and as your
servant this company awaits your bid
ding to enter upon the work of redemp-
tion."
Other addresses were made in a sim
liar vein. Ex-Secretary Of Agriculture

The Ins and outs of Insurance.

The Coast Review, magazine devoted
to the interest of insurance companies.
says that the figures published as the
receipts and expenditures of the "com.
pact" on this Coast during the past ten
years are incorrect, and gives as it AYERS
the correct ones, as follows: Receipts,
100000, 600; losses "paid up" $33, ,O00,-
600; paid out for expenses, something
like" $25, ,0o0,oO0 This would leave to
the dividend side of the Compact"
ledger $S.000,000. From the general
way in which the Coast Review puts the
above figures, we may assume that they
lack the exactitude of accurate statistics
such as an official organ should
be prepared to give off-hand. But
even this showing is not 30 bad for the
compact" A net profit of nearly q
million year is not as "wide as q
church door or as deep as a well," but
it will do. If, however, we may be per-
mitted to doubt that the net profits of

RevieaD makes out, we shall give reasons
for the faith that is in US. In the first
place, in the column of expenses is in.

ture of something like" $25 900, 900 that
ought to be carried into the dividend
column. A gentleman once asked in our
presence OF the manager of one Of the
great insurance corporations why they
paid so tremendous commission to their
agents and solicitors as 80 per cent. He
said they were compelled to do it to get
the business. "But," answered the
other, "why not reduce your COM
mission to fair figure and
give your customers the benefit of
the reduction in diminution of the
rates? You have the field to yourselves;
the people must insure with you; but
in order to run competition inside of
your compact for business, each COM
pany has cutbid the other until they have
raised the commission to agents and 80
licitors beyond all reason, and that, too,

could not meet this view Of the case. At

The COlOred Question and other
Matters Considered.
New York, October 23.-In the Epis-
copal Convention this morning, in the
House of Deputies, the colored question
was reopened by the Committee on Con-
ference appointed by the House of
Bishops, who recommended that the
Deputies accede to the desires of the
upper house and pass resolution defin-
ing the attitude Of the Episcopal Church
toward the negro race. The Deputies
decline to reconsider their action.
A resolution from the Joint Committee
on Liturgical Revision, implying the
omission of the prayer for the President
OF the United States, was rejected.
The resolution of S. Corning Judd, of
Chicago, to substitute the words Gamer
ican Church" for the words Protestant
Episcopal" in the title of the church, was
referred to the next convention.
At the afternoon session the house sat
with closed doors to consider the canon
reported by the Committee on Marriage
and Divorce. The second section, much to
the same effect, was stricken out, the
prohibition contained in the fret being
considered sufficient. Section 3, stating
it to be the duty of ministers to
admonish the people from time to
time that the church forbids clandestine
marriage, that public solemniz alton
should not be dispensed with, except for
a good cause and under special circum-
stances, was stricken out, and recess
was taken until s p. m. The Bishops
again failed to concur in the adoption of
Huntington's short office of prayer.
The night session of the House of Dep
uties was unproductive of results. The
question OF marriage and divorce again
came up for consideration, and was re.
ferred to the convention of 1892 for &C.
tion.
The House of Bishops at the afternoon
session completed the work Of liturgical
revision, and adopted canon relating to
the creation OF an order of deaconess.
The upper house gave consent to max
ing the lines of the boundary between
North and South Dakota, lines ci
missionary Jurisdictions.
The Bishops have elected, with the
concurrence of the House Of Deputies
Rev. Edward Abbott, of Cambridge
Mass, Bishop for the jurisdiction Of
Japan, vice the late Bishop Williams.
