JUDGE ALVEY'S OPINION.

The third opinion of Chief Justice
Alvey in the canal proceedings now be-
fore HIM, is published in full in the
MAIL to day, along with the decree OF
the Court.
The learned Justice arrives at his
conclusions with directness and enforces
them with ample authority. Not only
does the reasoning commend itself to
LAWYERS as sound and indlsputable, but
to the layman for Its justice and plain
common sense.
In the first opinion the Judge showed
that the bond holders Of 1914 had fur
nished the money to complete The canal
which the State would not and could
not do. They held the pledge of the
State that the canal should be maintain
and kept in condition to earn tolls.
But the State could rot pledge itself
to do impossibihtIes and when the Re-
ceivers reported adversely to the restor-
alton Of the canal. the Court could not
in Justice to Itself order, in the teeth Of
that report, an additional incumbrance
of several hundred thousand dollars to
the prediulice Of the States interests
and the other Iienors. Then came in
the bondholders of 1914 to assume all
risks, and pay of all prior incunbran-
ces and TO repair the canal without
making the cost Of the repair lien.
The bondholders of 1878 and other
liens being paid off the State cannot
possibly object to having the property
improved and restored without addil z
any further incumbrance. There was
therefore nothing else for the Court, in
common Justice TO DO, but to redeem the
plightcd faith Of the State and give the
boEIholdera chance to get their mon
ey back, But in granting their petition
the Court hedges them about with every
requirement looking to u thorough per.
Torrance of their undertaking. In fact
the decree for the sale is signed and on
ly suspended until May l 1891 Pro-
vided, that within GO days the bond
holders shall glye bond for 100000 to

UNITY ON THE CONTINENT
THE PAN-AMERICANC CONFERENCE
RECOMMENDATIONS

"
The Report on a Customs Union
Adopted With Only Three Dissent
ing Notes.-The Recommendations as
to Port Dues - An International
Banking System Strongly Advo-
Gated.
WASHINGTON. April 10.-To-dsy the pan
American conference took up and disposed
Of the reports of the committee on a Gus
toms union. adopting the report Of the ma
jority with three dissenting votes-those of
the Argentine Republic, Chill and Para
quay. The report adopted recommends that
reciprocity treaties be negotiated between
the several republics OF the American hem
isphere, each making tariff concessions so
that the peculiar products Of each may be
introduced free into all the others.
PORT DUES.
The committee on port dues reported that
owing to special conditions prevailing in
the ports Of the several nations in respect
to services for which charges are made it is
impracticable to completely abolish the
charges now imposed upon vessels In the
shape of dues. The committee recommends:
L. 1niI an pOrV uueS oe tnergeu III single
one, to be known as tonnage dues.
2. That this one charge shall be assessed
upon the total carrying capacity of the
vessel.
3. That each government fix for itself the
amount to be charged as tonnage dues, but
with due regard to the general policy of the
conference upon the subject, which is to
facilitate and favor navigation.
4. That there be excepted from the pro-
visions of article /, dues charged or to be
charged under unexpired contracts with
private companies.
5. That the following shall be exempt
from tonnage dues. l, transports and ves-
sells OF war; 2, vessels of less than twenty
five tons; 8, vessels which have been COM
PEELED to put into port by reason of damages
suffered at sea; 4, yachts and other pleasure
boats.
The report was adopted.
INTERNATIONAL BANKING FACILITIES.
The conference, at the time of adjourn
ment, had under consideration the report of
the committee on banking. In this the
committee says that future development of
commercial relations between North, South
and Central America Will depend as largely
upon complete and prompt develop
men5 of international banking facili-
ties as upon any other single condition.
This question Is discussed at much length,
and in conclusion the committee recon
mends to the governments here represented
the granting Of concessions for international
banking, and especially recommends the
establishment of an international American
bank, to be organized under a United States
national charter, with branches or agenci les
in the several represented countries,
aud as incident thereto suggests to
the delegates of the United States the
desirabiiity of submitting this report to the
President of the United States with view
that, should he deem it proper, he may
recommend to the congress OF tho United
States the enactment of a charter for an
international American bank for the benefit
and enlargement Of the commerce of the
Americas.

DIPLOMATS IN A TANGLE.
They Agree to Unite to Give Miss
Blaine Present.


WAsHINGToN, April 10.-There is some
exceedingly interesting gossip afoat con-
cerning a serious discussion which for some
time past has been agitatiag the diplomatic
corps. Since the Haytian trouble, which
resulted in the withdrawal of Hon. Stephen
Preston as United States minister, his posi-
ton as dean of the corps has devolved upon
Baron Fava. the Italian minister, who, be-
cause of his seniority in Office, was entitled
to that honor. Baron Fava, however, is
rarely in Washington, and these continued
absences on his part have resulted in feal-
ing of dissatisfaction among the members
of the corps, who have not hesitated to ex-
press their feelings to each other on the sub
ject, though heretofore no whispering of
this state Of affairs has reached the public
SOUTH AMERICANS FAVOR ROMERO.
Finally the South American representa-
tives Dodly declared their preference for
Senior Romero, who as minister from
Mexico to this country since March z. 1882,
ranks next to Baron Fava and ON the
various state occasions when the latter has
been absent the duties of dean of the corps
have always devolved upon him. Minister
Romero is a quiet, scholarly man. born
diplomat, and is, moreover, universal
favorite in the corps.
ENDS IN A SPLIT.
The South American faction, as already
stated, were particularly dissatisfied with
Fava, and after much psrleying on the sub
ject boldly declared their preference for the
Mexican minister, declaring that they would
regard him, and him alone, in future as the
head Of their body of diplomats. The corps
having thus split into two distinct factions,
the European body decided toreturn at least
the outward show Of allegiance to the
Italian minister as dean.
MISS BLAINE AN ISSUE.
At this Juncture the announcement was
published that Miss Margaret Blaine would
be married on the 18th inst. The dip
lomatS, of course, desired to show their re-
gard for Mr.. Blaine by handsome present
to his daughter on her wedding day.
The plan of each diplomat sending
au individual present would have been
followed had it not been for Mavroyeni
Bey, the Turkish minister. who conceived
the idea of the corps as body giving one
elegant present To this end notes we're
sent out requesting from the various minis
ters and secretaries a subscription of $40,
and the sum of $500 was thus raised.
THE SOUTH AMERICANS KICK.
At first the South Americans were vio-
lentIy opposed to subscribing to the general
fund, preferring to send individual presents,
but they have finally been brought to terms
in the matter by the Mexican minister, who
has advised an amicable adjustment Of the
difficulty by yielding to the wishes of the
majority. The latest intelligence is that the
sum of $500 being considered inadequate
for the proposed present, which will proba-
bly, be of silver, the members of the corps
have been asked to double their donations.
