WAR A RELIC OF THE PAST.
The Pan American Conference Apt to
Favor Arbitration.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The final ad-
journment of the n-Americen conference
is in sight. 1t will probably occur next
Wednesday. At a meeting of the confer
ence to-day the reports of the committees
on general welfare banking, and port dues
were presented, and, after being printed
will g taken up for consideration. The
committee on general welfare recon-
mended the negotiation of a gen
eral treaty by the republics of North,
South and Central America and
Hayti, to refer all disputes, differences and
contentious that may arise between any
two of the nations to arbitration for settle
ment. Arbitration shall be compulsory
upon all nations in matters of diplomatic
etiquette, territories, boundaries, questions
of navigation, enforcement, construction
or validity of treaties, and in other matters
arising from any cause whatever. The
only exception is in case nation believes
its independence is at stake; then arbitra-
tion shall not be compulsory.
SELECTION OF ARBITRAToRs.
The report sets forth in detail the manner
in which arbitrators shall be selected and
the manner of reaching and declaring their
judgments. 1t is provided that ratifications
of treaty shall be exchanged at Washing
ton, and it shall be III force twenty years
from the date of its proclamation. After
that term has expired the treaty shall re-
main in force until one year after any ma
tfon has notified all the other nations party
thereto of its desire TO withdraw, but with
drawal Of any nation shall not relieve the
other nations of their duties under the
agreement.
Recommendations are introduced by a
preamble reciting the belief OF the delegates
that war is q cruel, unnecessary and inef-
fective method of settling international dis
putes; that the educated sentiment Of
humanity approves the choice of arbitra-
tion as the best method Of reaching a salts
factory settlement of differences; and that
the meeting of this pan-American conference
demonstrates that the people of the western
hemisphere are willing and ready to enforce
among themselves the principle of arbitra :
tion.

CHICAGO's CARPENTERS.
The Non Association Builders and the
Strikers Agree.


CHICAGO, April 9.-Pursuant to the
terms of arbitration signed yesterday the
plumbers all went to work this morning.
The carpenters strike, however, seems no
nearer a settlement than on the first day.
There's no sign of yielding or compromise
on either side. The journeymen announce
themselves prepared for an all summer
campaign
The most significant occurrence in con-
nection with the strike was visit the strike
committee received this evening. Fourteen
master carpenters, employing 900 men, were
closeted with the committee several hours.
These master carpenters, none of whom
belong to the Carpenters and Builders
Association, made proposition to
the committee to form an offensive
and defensive alliance with the strikers.
The non-association masters are and have
been willing all along to pay the men what
they ask, but because the masters associa-
tion refuses to arhitrate or settle with the
men those outsiders are compelled to stop
work and lose time ON their contracts.
ONE OF THE Committeeman TALKS.
One of the committee of fourteen said to
a reporter: "The association employs about
half the men in town. Those of us outside
of the association have fully rs many men
in the aggregate, and are anxious to settle
this thing. We are willing to pay full
wages and are anxious to go ahead with our
contracts. Now that we know what the
strikers will do we are going to call meet
ing tomorrow of all the non-association
carpenter contractors in town. At that
meeting we will form temporary associa-
tion of our own and get ready to fight with
the men. It is not decided officially yet,
but you can say within a day
or two that the non-association bosses will
have all their men at work again at union
rates and hours, while the members of the
Carpenters and Builders Association will
not get man to work for them until they
come to the mems terms"
This arrangement, if made, will
strengthen the cause of the strikers i'm

lawyer and politician, j. Munroe Shellen-

parts unknown, and also to ascertain the

1t is believed that when all the claims
against Shellenberger have been filed it
will be shown that he is considerably over
100000 In debt. He has apparently hood
winked everybody with whom he had deal
ings. The claims so far filed are almost en-
tirely for money entrusted to the defaulter
for investment, interest on mortgages
and rents collected by him. Ig-
grossest manner. To one farmer he gave
what purported to be receipt for money
paid, but which turned out to be promis-
sary note, which the man in his ignorance
indorsed, and for which he is now held
liable.

within the city limits will be sur

finest opportunities for adornment.

at $3,918.400. The city is almost
