tee Awaiting His Message-COm-
mittees Finishing Up Their Work.

City of Mexico, Nov. 26.-The COM
mittees of the Pan-American Congress
are rapidly completing their work with
the exception of the Arbitration Com
mittee and the Committee on Com
merce and Reciprocity. The latter Is
Withholding action until learning the
stand which President Roosevelt will
take on. the subject of reciprocity in
his forthcoming message to Congress.
The work of the Arbitration Commit
tee is delayed by the difficulties of the
subject, and the many conflicting In
terests which it is necessary to con-
ciliate. 1t held its first meeting to-
day after fortnights adjournment.
The committee on future Pan Ameri-
can conferences will, it is understood
recommend the holding of a conference
every five years. 1t is generally held
that the present conference should des-
ignate the place where the next one is
to be held and that the same course
should be followed by each succeeding
Congress.
The committee on the inter- oceanic
canal will probably confine itself in
general terms to recommending the ex-
cavation of such waterway without ex-
pressing preference to any particular
route.
c. NJ. Pepper, United States delegate,
has submitted recommendations to the
committee on resources and statistics.
He advocates the making of every ef-
fort to secure full and reliable sta
tistics of founts of production in the
various American countries by co-op-
erative action. He says in part:
'The chief idea should be to secure
information regarding the undeveloped
founts of production and resources, so
that in the instance of railroad build
ing projected it would be possible to
ascertain just. what riches might be
opened up for commerce and industry
Similarly there should be information
as to government or public lands and
the agricultural or other industries
which they support. 1t would further
be advisable to have the fullest data
possible in regard to water power and
the possibilities of its utilization either
in mining or manufacturing.
AT this afternoons session of the Ar
bitration Committee. the nineteen
members of the committee appointed a
sub committee. consisting of. the fol-
lowing members: Pardo of Mexico,
Bermejo of Argentine, Blest Cana of
Chill, 'Duarte Pereira of Brazil, Alza-
mora of Peru, Buchanan of the United
States and LaZo Arriaga of Guasa-
naala.
The committee decided to adjourn
until receiving the reports of the sub
| committee.
After the committee meeting Presi-
dent Riagosa and Messrs.s Pardo and
Pineda of the Mexican delegation con-
| ferred with Foreign Minister Mariseal

ed him frightfully. After his arrival
at Grace Hospital, Rileys first words
were:
How did it happen? The engine and
boilers were all right"
Gradually the rescuers worked their
way downward through the pile. BY
this time there were no cries or groans
TO aid them. for the flames had destroy
ed those unfortunates who were not
killed by the explosion or the fall. But
the work of rescue continued with
unabated haste. When a heavy beam
or piece of shafting was encountered,
a team OF horses was brought in and
the piece of wreckage hauled to the
street. Stretcher bearers stood beside
the rescuers and took away the
burned and blackened bodies. A va
cant house adjoining the factory was
converted into a temporary morgue,
where the bodies were placed in cof-
fins and taken to the nearest morgue.
In several cases the charred corpses
were so hot when recovered that they
could scarcely be handled by the un-
dertaker and his assistants.
The front building of the plant sus-
tanned comparatively little damage,
considering the tremendous explosion
within sixteen feet of it. All the win
dowS, of course, were broken and some
of the machinery was slightly injured
by the jar. AS much damage was done
to the building by the automatic fire
extinguishers, which were set off, as by
the explosion.
There were a dozen girls among the
employees on the four floors of this
building and there was something of
panic among them, but nobody was
injured.
Firms Loss Was Heavy.
The property loss. according to Sec
retary George w. Childs. is about $780,
900. The firm carried $4,000 fire and
some boiler insurance, but how much
of tine latter Secretary Childs could not
state.
Subscriptions for the relief of the
sufferers have been started.
Nothing is known as yet about the
cause of the explosion. The boilers
had been recently inspected, and the
engineer is known as one of the most
careful and capable men in the city.
The firm will resume business as
soon as possible, in temporary quarters
already taken.

authentic reports from there to-day

Washington. Nov. Pa self-sus-

United States for the past fiscal year.

The remaining 5000 presidential post
offices yielded $16,O6S, ,252 while the IT,
479 fourth-class postoffices produced
$1S,913,519.
Mr.. Johnson says the fact that the
postal service in the largest cities Is
practically perfect is the explanation
of why the annual percentage of in
crease in the revenues of the free de-
livery Dostoffices should be three times
greater than in the smaller cities and
five times as large as that of the fourth
class offices. As rural free delivery
reaches out into the country, giving
equal facilities without regard 10 To-

nues at a rate at least equal to that

Full Military HOnOrs Paid to Re-
mains of Late German Ambassador.
London, Nov. 26.-Full military hon.
ors were paid to the remains of Count
Won Hatzfeldt- Wildonberg, the late
German ambassador to the Court of
St. James. when the body was removed
from the embassy here this evening
and taken to Victoria railroad station
on it's way to Germany. This exception
al step was entirely due to the initia-
tive of King Edward, who quite unex-
pectedly notified the relatives of the
dead statesman that he desired to pay
this unusual tribute to the ambassa-
dor, who had untiringly labored in the
interests of the good relations of the
two nations.
In view of the Anglophobia in Ger
many. the Kings action is considered
highly tactful and as calculated to
show that the relations between the
two governments are wholly friendly.
