Important Subject.

Pan. American Congress discusses an
Important Subject.
City of Mexico, Oct. 31.-Anarchy and
the best means OF suppressing it in the
western hemisphere will be one of the
principal subjects to be discussed by
the Pan-Amerlcan congress. The dele
gates from the United States are partic-
ularly interested in this subject. and
undoubtedly decisive action will be TAX
en-.
At yesterdays session of the congress
the recommendation of the committee
on committees was approved. 1t pro-
vides for the appointment of the follow
ing committees: Arbitration and court
of arbitration, water transportation,
commerce and reciprocity. Pan-Ameri-
can tribunal of equity and claims, Pan
reau OF American republics. interna-
tional law. extradition and protection
against anarchy. Pan-American bank
ing and monetary exchange, Pan-Amer-
lean sanitary measures, patents and
trademarks and weights and measures.
practice of the learned professions and
literary relations, resources and sta
tics. interoceanic canal, agriculture and
commerce, rules and credentials. future
Pan-American conference, general well
far. including discussion OF Louisiana
purchase exposition and encouragement
of same. and engrossing.
In connection with the committees the
delegations have the right to appoint
one member each for the committee on
arbitration and court OF arbitration. 1t
is understood that the United States
delegation will appoint w. j. Buchan-
an as its representative on the COM
mittee. owing to the fact that -he speaks
Spanish and is familiar with South
American questions from his residence
at Buenos Ayres as United States min
lister. The members of the other CONF
mittees will be appointed by the provi-
sional president of the congress. but 1t
is thought that he will largely follow
the wishes of the delegations.
The committee on international equity
and court of claims is equal in impor-
lance to that on arbitration. 1t is I'M
derstood that John Barrett, Of the
United States. will be member.
The discussion of press privileges yes
tarday morning was attended with some
surprises. Isaac A. Beamara, vice pres
ident and delegate from Peru, made a
splendid speech in favor of the amplest
privileges to the press. while the Chilean
delegates antagonized the idea.
An extra session has been called for
today to finally dispose of the press
privileges in the congress. 1t is ex-
.pected that limited number Of newspa-
per representatives will be admitted.
The recommendation to include the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition among
the subjects of general welfare was in.
PRODUCED by ex-senator H. G. Davis,
who dwelt on the Importance of the st.
Louis fair. John Barrett, of the United
States delegation, spoke at great length
on the subject. He said that when the
delegates recently passed thru st. Louis
the fair directors had recommended the
enterprise to representatives of the sew
oral countries there gathered. He also
alluded to President Mckinley's procla-
nation bespeaking the attention and
support of the whole world for the fair.
Mr.. Barrett added the hope that Latin
America would give its hearty support
and participation in the exposition as
mark of good will toward the United
States.
