ing Senior Baez made a long speech which
was a sort of a general discussion of the
oonference's duties and opportunities from
Paraguay's point of view including some
exposition OF Paraguay's idea Of arbitra-
ton.
Then the report OF a committee on a
Pan-American bank came up. Sehor
Maoedo offered a substitute making slight
verbal changes which was adopted by the
conference without opposition. The substi-
tute amends the original report by pro-
viding that the location Of the bank be
not necessarily In New York and repeats
lfhe recommendations for assistance by
HE different republics.
I. Befor Augusta Matte OF Chile, made a
loug speech He said he was glad the
Conference was tackling sonnet hing practi-
cal Something was expected from 1t
besides glitterng generalities. Everybody
e. favored the abstract proposition TO es-
tablish such a bank. but an institution
40 established and subsidized by different
nations wins liable to cause trouble unless
specific regulations were laid down, Until
now the countries of Central and South
America could hardly be said to have had
sufficient trade relations. especially some
which had lacked manufacturing interests
These countries should aid railroads, steam
ship lines and banks. Heretofore they
had produced only raw materials and
were only now beginning TO manufacture.
Tn view Of these facts Senior Matte pro-
posed that instead of the committees
plan bank be established with branch
in the capital or principal city OF each
nation. the bank having a subsidy Of $ioo.-
600 gold annually. which the countr les

now support the Bureau Of American Re-
publics. Then. he concluded, the Con-
ference would he getting at practical posi-
bilities This would set the ball rolling,
and then let the nations push IL along
Sehor Mates proposition was referred
TO the committee, thus preventing the
adoption OF the report to-day.
Then the report OF the committee on
the practice OF the learned professions
was taken up. Sefior Bennejo took occa-
sion to criticise Senior Matte. He implied
that Senior Mates reference to the con-
was a silr on Senior Baez's long speech
However, he said. Senior Baez's PROPOSE
tion was the most important before the
conference. II the conference now fails
70 handle the subject OF arbitration it will
fail to respond TO the call which brought
the delegates here. Proceeding TO the
report he said that Argentina had ex-
changed publications for quarter OF
century. and so far as Argentina was con-
cerned the matter was settled.
Sefior Blest Cana of Chile said Sefor
Bermejo's Interpretation of Senor Mates
remarks was wrong. He himself had said
previously that arbitration was the key
stone Of the arch which supported the ma
report he said the committee had merely
intended to facilitate the exchange OF
publications. Argentinas explanation
probably could be made by every nation
here.
Senior Calve OF Costa Rica briefly favored
the report and then Senor Bermejo eI-
planned that he had intended only to say
that the present report was unimrortant
aS compared with arbitration. OF course
1t was in,rinsically important. he said. but
compared to arbitration IL was really Of
minor value. Then he argued in favor of
the report Of the Brussels conference OF
1885 instead OF the committees report.
finally submitting a substitute resolution
that the conference recommended that the
nations here represented adopt the pro-
visions Of the Brussels conference con-
cerning the exchange. This was referred
10 the committee and the discussion was
therefore suspended
Then Senior Baez thanked Sefor Bermejo
for his position with reference to Baez's
fret speech. Sehor Bermejo honored his
country BIZ that position. He himself came
TO the conference with no preconceived
ideas to force upon il and was ready TO
for arbitration.
That stirred Senior Joaquin Walker
Martinez OF Chile To n speech which. al
though he declared IL to be without pas
sion. simulated IL sufficiently To arrest
absorbed attention He commented
sharply on the incidents Of the day, re-
ferring TO the Introduction by Sehores
Baez and Bermejo of subjects foreign
10 the order of the day. He said II was not
