SECRETARIES OFFENDED.
Slight Misunderstanding ut the Pan
American Conference.

CITY OF MEXICO. oct. ga slight mis-
understanding occurred at this mornings
session of the Pan-American Conference.
When the members Of the Congress had as
sembled in the Hall of Sessions the MeNi-
can delegation announced that ii desired
To hold secret session of delegates eX-
Guiding the secretaries OF the delegations.
Some of the secretaries took offense at this
and one leaving the room declared they
would not return. Ii developed that the
subject which it was desired TO treat in
secret was an incident at the banquet OF
the City Council when only the delegates
were invited and no secretaries. This was
necessary measure and no room In the
City Hall would have been large enough
TO contain the party had the secretaries
been Invited, especially as some OF the
South American delegations have as many
or more secretaries than delegates. IL was
desired at the secret session 10 explain the
occasion for noninvitations of the secre-
tarles TO the banquet and to say that no
slight had been intended. But cuTiously
enough the action taken with a view TO
remove the onense resulted in giving new
offense TO some. The session this morning
was taken up with discussions on regula-
tions
Gen. Rafael Reyes, the delegate to the
Pan-American Conference, from Colombia,
and vice president of that country, said to-
day in allusion to the Washington comment
on his speech at the banquet of the Mexico
City Council TO the delegates in which he
paid tribute to Spain, that he saw nothing
10 modify in his words, if properly under
stood. He added that he had been privately
congratulated on his speech by Mr. Davis
gates, so that evidently they had seen
nothing blameworthy in it.

The New York Journal of Commerce pub
fishes a table showing the recent decline in
the values of the shares OF fOrty-two diff
ferent trusts from the high prices reached
early I'm the year Amalgamated Copper has
fallen from 100 TO 90; the American Bicycle,
preferred. from 80 to 10; American Linseed
OIL preferred, from 66 10 40; American
Sugar Refining from 153 TO 119; Continental
Tobacco, preferred, from 12i TO 1l41s; Ma
tional Salt fom 80 to 30; United States Rub
Der from "a to 10; United States Steel from
50 to AZ, preferred from 1915 to "a. This
great shrinkage in the values of trust
stocks has occurred during period Of un-
usual business and Industrial activity, and
when there was no indication Of any de-
cline in the demand for merchandise. Some
Of the declines noted are in the stocks of
combinations which have failed to sup
press competition, such as the Lnseed Oil,
the Bicycle and the American Sugar Re
filming companies. If such shrinkages oc-
cur when the business of the country is in
the full tide of prosperity, what may be
expected when business reaction sets in?

AN UNFORTUNATE DEMAND.

The Journal cannot think that the de-
mand which has apparently emanated from
an organization OF the spanish-American
war veterans for representation on the SOL
diers' monument commission represents the
sentiments of any considerable number of
the 5000 gallant men who enlisted in In
diana for that war. IT cannot think that at
this day any man who is familiar with the
history of the inception and purpose of the
monument would declare that il was de-
signed to represent the military spirit OF
the people of Indiana in all wars. If such
Is its purpose IL were a folly 10 have built
1t, and it loses all its significance.
