One Of the funny mistakes made by
the telegraph was caused by the loss of
a dot in telegram from Brisbane to a
I London news agency. AS it reached
London it read: Governor General
twins first SON." which the news agency
"edited" and sent around to the papers
in the following form: Lady Kennedy,
the wife of Sir Arthur Kennedy, Gov
ernor General of Queensland, yesterday
gave birth at Government house, Brls-
bane, 20 twins. the first born being a
son." The telegram arriving in the
small hours of the morning, there was
no time to check it or refer to Debrett,
and it was published by most of the
newspapers in London and the prov
inces, and caused an unexpected sensa-
ton. Sir Arthurs friends pointed out
with conclusive force that some one had
blundered as there never was a Lady
Kennedy, Sir Arthur being bachelor.
The repeated message, which followed,
read: Governor General turns first

Many curiosities in litigation have APP
peared in the operation of the Bank
ruptcy act, but Cincinnati has the prize
one. 1t is contained in a petition filed
by Frank r. Wessa, japanner of Ev-

lieving himself of a debt burden of 500,
due for rent provisions and medical at
tendance. His assets are nothing. Wes-
sa drew UP the bankruptcy papers him
self, thus saving a lawyers fee; and in
cluded the United States among his
creditors, entering it as entitled to the
$25 fee for making him a bankrupt, al
though it is bound to go empty handed
like the rest. When the court clerk de-
clined to file the petition without pay
ment of the $25 fee Wessa filed it him
self, and now the officials are waiting
to see what the judge will do with it,

THE CONGRESS IN MEXICO
HIGHLY GRATIFYING RESULT OF
PRELIMINARY NEGOTIATIONS.
Effect of the Action of Peru-Adjust-
ment of Issues That Have
Arisen.

The negotiations which have been going
on for some time as to the congress of
American republics have now been brought
to successful conclusion, all obstacles
which had threatened the holding of the
congress being removed and a definite OFF,
cial determination having been reached
that every republic in North South and
Central America will be represented by
delegations in the congress. For time
the issues between Chile and Peru made 1t
likely that one or the other country would
remain away from the congress and that
other South American countries would be
Influenced to a similar course. But as a
result of extended exchanges between the
republics, in which this government has
taken more or less part it is officially de-
cided that all of the countries will be par
ticipants.
The Peruvian government is. one Of the
latest to make known its purpose to be
represented, thus canceling the official
notice given some time since that it could
not take part if restrictions were placed on
the program. In addition, word has come
through official sources here that Peru has
chosen a delegation of distinguished per-
sonnel, including the vice president Of the
republic, Mr.. Isaac AlZamora a justice of
the supreme court, DR.. Albert Gilmore, and
the Peruvian minister to Washington, Mr.
Manuel Alvarez Calderon. Vice President
Alzamora is one of the leading statesmen
of Peru, and by reason of his rank VIII
take high place in the congress.
DIR. Elmore occupies a position similar to
that of the chief justice of the United States.
He Is the son of an American and his
brother was at one time minister to the
United States. Minister Calderon is also
appointed minister to Mexico in addition to
his position here, so that he will attend
the congress In the double capacity of dele
gate and minister to Mexico. Messrs Pc
zeta, secretary of legation here, and Mour-
tua, consul general, will act as secretaries
to the delegation
The Chilean delegates have also been ap-
pointed, and although a recent dispatch
from Santiago indicated that some hitch
had occurred over the funds necessary for
the delegates this will not stand in the way
of Chfle's representation at the congress,
has been little doubt as to the participation
of the other republics, and this Is now re-
moved by the favorable action of Chile and
Peru and by the appointment of the dele
gates from Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and
the other countries of South and Central
America.
The result Of the negotiations is highly
gratifying to all the officials concerned,
government and diplomatic, for while they
removed they are glad to feel that the last
hitch over the successful holding of the
congress has been removed. During the
discussion the issues which arose over the
program have been adjusted, so that no one
OF the countries feels that it's interests are
being jeopardized, and 1t Is probable that
any differences Of policy between the coun-
tries on the various questions to be consid-
cred will be settled by the congress itself.
