PAN-AMERrCAN CONGRESS.
Reports of Committees Considered at
 Yesterdays Session.

Mexico City, Dec. N.-The Pan-Ameri- can conference, at its session today, made good progress. It approved a rec ommendation to the several Governments of America on behalf of Chicago's Olyn- plan games, as well as the reports of the Committees on Resources and Sta tIstics and on Commerce and Reciprocity. The latter was altered somewhat, giving It's contents the form of a resolution rather than a mere recommendation. A new clause was added at the suggestion of Pablo Macedo of Mexico. whereby the various Governments will, within six months after the adjournment of the cons ference, send their notifications of the commerce and reciprocity resolutions to the bureau of American republics, If they desire to adhere thereto.
 President Raigosa announced the fol- lowing appointments made by him for a committee to reside at Washington and to interest itself in pushing the Pan- American Railway project: Senator H. C.. Davis. Manuel De Aspirez, Mexican Ann bassador; Andrew Carnegie. Manuel AL varez Calderon, Peruvian Minister. and Antonio Lazo Arriaga, Minister of Guat- emala.
 Tomorrow the Pan-American delegates and their families will make an excur- sion to view the valley drainage works. They will be banqueted at the works.
 The Archbishop of Mexico invited the United States delegates to attend re- ligious function at the basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe next Sunday morn- ing. Senator Davis accepted the invita- tion with the understanding that the American delegates would attend in a purely personal and unofficial capacity. All the other delegates will also attend. This act of the delegates from the United States has pleased the clerical press.

Alabama,s Future Greatness.

Memphis Commercial-Appeal
 When the Birmingham district secures water connection with tidewater at Mo- bile 1t can bring in what foreign ore it may need from Cuba in sea-going barges without breaking bulk. With a largely reduced freight rate on it's product it can go into the markets of the world and de- liver iron and steel several dollars a ton cheaper than they can be produced any where else. This means, of course, that it will dominate these industries. The mind recoils from a contemplation of the vast possibilities that lie in the way of the development of Alabama's iron industries. The awakening in the East and the encroachment of Russia on In- dia, Persia and her other neighbors mean that these vast territories are soon to be supplied with railroads. and to equip these countries as well as the State of Illinois is equipped would require per- haps $50, coo, ,000 900 worth of steel rails alone The magnitude of this task is be- yond the grasp of the average intellect, but even the casual observer will see that district that can furnish products cheaper than any other will outstrip all rivals. Great cities will arise in the mineral district and with water cOnnec- ton with tide water, Mobile is sure to lis more splendid and comprehensive than any of the lost cities which once fiourished around the Adriatic and Med iterranean.

Senator Morgan knew well what he was doing for his State in his long and gallant fight for this new waterway, and while he is about to benefit his State largely, he will also benefit the entire nation, by manufacture and manipulation of iron which is generally conceded to he the most trustworthy and accurate measure of civilization.
 While manufacturing in Alabama has made rapid progress in the recent past it Is yet in it's infancy. The day Is com ing, when raw material will not leave Alabama It will be manipulated there and sent out to the ends of the earth in finished products. The salubrity of the climate and it's immunity from extremes of heat and cold render the State desr- able as homes for Iaboring people and the cheapness of fuel and easy access to food products will surely attract vast enterprises, employing many thousands of men. Alabama is destined to become rich beyond computation. By the census of 1890 the State of Massachusetts has more assessed values than twelve South ern States, but if Alabama continues there are those now living who will see 1t equal in wealth to the old Bay State,

 The new Hay-Pauncefote treaty is smoking out some of the critters that have for years invited the pursuit but baffled thY skill of the isthmian canal Nimrods. They have. with uproar and protest. opposed every step of progress by diplomacy or legislation toward the authorization and beginning of a canal. Professing a fervid interest in the con struction of a waterway Joining the two oceans, they have been content with no suggested method of undertaking 1t, and attempts to remove existing obstacles have always drawn the fire of their crit icism and abuse. Having become con vinced that the Government and the peo- pie of England would never consent to the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwcr treaty, they began vehemently to insist that the old treaty must go and that the canal must be altogether and in every particular an American project. They thought they were on sure ground.
 But now appears the amended and re- vised Hay-Pauncefote treaty, superseding the Clayton BulWer convention and pro- viding that the canal in its building op, eratiOn, control and protection shall be exclusively American, under the owner ship and guarantee of the United States without the participation of any other nation.

FORGING AHEAD.

The Advertiser published in yesterday issue some statistics from census bulle- tins showing the growth of manufactures in Alabama. Commenting on this show Ing Chief Statistician North says:
 Although Alabama Is an agricultural State, table 1 shows that there mas peeil a remarkable growth in the rnanufactur- ing and mechanical industries during the half century. The population increased during these years from 7l,62] to l,SSS,6SI' or 137 per cent, while the average num- Der of wage earners employed In manu- facturing establishments increased rom 49S to 52,902, or 971.S per cent. This growth of the wage earning class has been very marked in the last two decades particularly in the decade 1$SO to lSSO when the increase was 2l0.S per cent us compared with an increase of 9.S per cent. in total population. In 1900 the average number of wage earners in manufactures constituted 9 per cent. of the total population as compared with eight-tenths of ] per cent. in 1880. But probably the best indication of the i'm portance of the wage earning class IS afforded by the greatest number employ ed at any one time during the year. In 1900 this was 76,931, or Az per cent. Of the total population of the State.
 The rapid growth of the manufacturing industries of Alabama during the last twenty five years is due to the utilization of the States rich mineral resources which were neglected in the earlier years of the century. The development of the iron industry and of coal mining has stimulated a variety of manufactures which are centered in the Birmingham district, in the northern part of the State where the mineral deposits exist. The abundance of coal has made unnecessary any existensive use of the water power of the State on the Coosa, Tennessee and Tallapoosa Rivers, although on the Tal lapoosa near Montgomery one Of tho largest water power plants in the Soutf has recently been constructed. It i: noteworthy that the great development of manufactures in the northern part oi the State has taken place largely without the advantage of navigable water for the cheap shipment of products. For years efforts have been made to connect the Birmingham district with tidewater al Mobile bay by means of a canal and the construction of locks on the Warrior River Of the five locks projected three the canal has been surveyed by engineers of the United States. It is estimated that water communication with Mobile would reduce freight charges on iron SC per cent.
 Alabama has just begun to grow. It is safe prediction that the census of 191( will show that manufacturing in Ala. bama increased 100 per cent in the decade.
