THE PAN.AMEKICAN CONGRESS-.

Tho International Law Report Adopted.
Tile First Majority and Minority Report.
WASHINGTON, D. G., March 1.-THE
Pan.American Conference to-day dis.
cussed the report OF the Committee on
International Law and finally adopted it.
The first committee OF conference to
make majority and minority reports was
that on custom union. They were pre-
sented to-day. The majority say that
the establishment OF q customs union as
generally understood would require not
only a partial sacrifice OF the national
sovereignty Of American nations, but
more radical changes in their respective
constitutions than they are willing to
accept. The majority believe that the
principle OF unrestricted reciprocity is
acceptable and that it's adoption would,
in all probability, bring about as favora.
bic results as those obtained by free
trade among the different states Of this
union. A customs union on this basis,
however, the majority deems impractica.
BILE as continental system at present.

Two Charming Social Events.

Yesterday was marked in a social way
by two charming events in each OF which
Miss Louise Cummins was the hostess. n
position which she filled in most
graceful and delightful manner. In
the afternoon she entertained a number
Of her lady friends at progressive euchre.
Tho game was merry one and the con-
test for the handsome prizes was spirit
ed and full Of interest. The first
prize was won by Miss jamie Good and
was the tenth euchre prjzs she has cap.
tured this season. The second prize was
carried of by Miss Burke.
In the evening Miss Cummins re.
ceived a genial company Of ladies and
gentlemen and entertained them at
"Drive Whist" or progressive whist, a
game that is comparatively new in
Wheeling, but which bids fair to eclipse
progressive euchre as soon as
it becomes more generally known,
by reason Of the greater interest
that is attached 10 it in every way.
There were six tables engaged in the con.
test and Mrs. Jessie Berger and Mr., Sam
Hazlett5 captured tho first trophies,
while Miss Emily Campbell and Mr.,
Harry Franzheim were awarded the con.
ISOLATION prizes. At the conclusion
OF the game refreshments were
served. Miss Cummins' guests, both
those Of the afternoon and those OF the
evening; were unanimous in congratula'
ting themselves on having been among
the favored ones at two Of the most de-
] lighttul affairs Of the season. 'T..,,'' o

Programme Arranged.
MONTREAL, March 4.-Events arc
shaping themselves gradually but slowly
for some radical change in Canada.
Ever since the loyalty address to the
Queen was passed by the Commons at
Ottawa, and the Young Liberals Of To-
ronto and Montreal passed counter reso-
lutions in favor Of Canadian independ-
ence, arrangements have been quietly
proceeding in this city for the establish
ment OF an organization which will work
systematically and increasingly in favor
OF "the emancipation Of the country"
The project is as yet in its infancy, but
its promoters admit that it will soon be
launched. They say that the end in
view is d patriotic one, and that only
pacific and constitutional methods will
be employed.
ACanadian Independent League, with
Iramltications all through the land and
beyond its borders, will be formed,
II is hoped that Independence clubs
will be formed at least in every county.
II not IN every town and village. Liter
ature favoring the change will be pre-
pared and disseminated abundantly.
