SECRET TALK
ON ARBITRATION
Pan-American Congress
Delegates Discuss
a Treaty.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 6.-This morn
ing the Pan-American Congress decided
to go into secret session to hear the pro-
ject of the arbitration treaty proposed by
the Mexican delegation. The votes against
the secret session were those of Paraguay
and the Argentine Republic, Bolivia and
Peru, four against fifteen The project is
decidedly favorable to Chile and corre-
spondingly distasteful to Peru.
The Hague convention, in it's article Is.
recognized arbitration as the most efdca-
ciOus and equitable means OF settling all
questions arising from Interpretation and
application Of international conventions.
The Mexican project omits this declara-
tion, and the omission is an evident tr1-
umph for Chile, 1naSmuch as the entire
difference between Chile and Peru hinges
precisely upon the Interpretation or the
convention of Ancon.
The Mexican project states that all
questions not involving the independence
or honor of a country are mt subjects for
arbitration, but authorizes each nation
before signlng for the rauncation on
the convention, even though they do not
affect it's honor or independence. This is
another point favorable to Chile, and the
second point of difference from The Hague
convention.
After the proposed arbitration treaty
had been reviewed In secret session the
doors of the conference hall were again
thrown open to hear the proposal Of the
Guatemala delegation for a convention
for the Ran-AmerlCdn court OF Claims
The proposed convention provides that,
with the object of facilitating the adjust
ment of controversies which the several
Governments participating in the conven-
ton may have been unable to settle diplo-
matically the high contracting parties
agree to submit to the court of claims all
pending and future questions between
Governments of any of the participating
powers and citizens of any of the other
powers provided that the claimants in
such cases shall not have served as enc
fv,erE 4.h.
the claim is brought, or shall not have
voluntarily aided them.
1t shall be obligatory to present such
cases to the court for adjudication. but
the claimant must first show that he has
exhausted all the legal resources in the
tribunals of the country against which
the claim is preferred when the claim is
of nature to be a proper subject for the
action of this tribunal

Great Precautions Being
Taken on Island Of
Leyte.

MANILA, Nov. 6.-The recent develop
ments in the island of Samar have caused
the military authorities to take extraor-
binary precautions in the island Of Leyte.
Provincial Governor Grant objects to
these on the ground that, by reducing the
authority of the civil Governor, they set
a bad example to the people.
In a communication to Vice Governor
Wright Grant says that although three
presidentes have been arrested in Leyte
for reasonable correspondence with the

preciate the blessings of civil government.
In the main, according to Grant, the ma

food and assistance, owing to the refusal
of General Smith to allow them arms for

CARTER GAINS
A REHEAR|NG
Convicted Army Officer
Has a Chance for
Freedom.

CHICAGO. Nov 6.-Oberlin NJ. Carter,
now a convict in the Government prison
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, and formerly
a captain in the United States Engineer
Corps. is to have rehearing of his case
in a civil tribunal. He now has the as
surance of the Government authorities
that all the evidence is to be reviewed
again before Judge KohlSaat in the
United States Circuit Court in this city,
the hearing to take place probably In
few months. Carter will be called as a
witness in his own behalf, and for the
purpose of testifying in court he will be
released temporarily from his place OF
confinement.
This is the result of the suits brought
by the Government some months ago in
several Federal courts for the purpose of
recovering the proceeds of Si22,SZI which
it was proved at the courtmartial that
Carter had embezzled from the United
States His uncle, Lorenzo d. Carter, and
his brother, l. Stanton Carter, were said
to have reinvested this money and Sc
creted 1t for the purpose of having a for
tune ready for the former army officer
upon his release from the military prison.
Difficulties were encountered by the
representatives of the Government in get
ting trace of the securities which were
said to represent this amount, and at last
they signed an agreement with Carter S
legal representative, Horace G. Stone, by
which rehearing of all the charges
brought against the former captain of en-
gineers was made possible.
This agreement was filed in the United
States Court to-day signed by Marion
Erwin, Special Assistant Attorney Gen
eral for the United States, and Attorney
Stone for Carter, his brother and his
uncle. The principle provision made in
this stipulation is that the issues in all
the similar suits now pending in the Fed
eral Courts of New York, New Jersey,
Georgia, West Virginia and the Southern
District of Illinois shall be united with
the case in the Federal Court in Chicago.
The examination of witnesses is to be held
here. The ownership of the bonds and
other securities of Carter, which the Gov
renment claims as its property, will be
determined by the court.

THE FLOYD MONUMENT.

object of the greatest interest in the
shaft erected to the memory of Sergeant
Charles Floyd, of the Lewis and Clark
expedition; and The CONSERVATIVE, to
see how such things were managed by
our neighbors across the river, was rep
resented at the dedication of it; for Ne
braska also contains within her limits
several places of permanent historical
import, which may well some day be
deemed worthy of commemoration in
like manner.
This new monument consists of an
obelisk of stone something over 100 feet
in height, which stands on prominent
hill three or four miles below Sioux
City, OH the river front. AS the hill is
also 1875 feet above the river, the shaft is
rendered extremely conspicuous.
The inhabitants of Sioux City and
their visitors celebrated the completion
of this object, which was turned over to
it's custodians on Memorial day, May
30th, in good earnest they came out in
great numbers, and filled to overfowing
a train of dozen cars, which was
placed at their disposal for the occasion,
and which trundled them down to the
location of the monument at 10 o'clock
OH the morning of that day. There was
also a goodly throng already on the
grounds, having proceeded thither afoot
and in carriages, so that the summit of
the hill was we'll crowded. 1t is rather
roomy hill, with plateau at the top,
which is to be worked up into park.
At it's foot runs the line Of the North
western railway, and beyond that lies
the river. There is as impressive view,
probably, as any spot on the Missouri
river affords. 1t is always suggestive
stream; you look down the endless path
of it's waters, and you hear the tapping
of the blue waves of the gulf as it min
giles with them; you look up, and see
the torrents of it's thousand sources
pouring down the chasms of the
snowy mountains. Here other matters

north, beyond the city, is the gap where
enters the Big Sioux river, coming down
from the ancient and sacred Pipestone
quarry; across the river in Nebraska
there still remain two or three thousand
Indians, Omahas and Winnebagoes, but
not much like their fathers, who once
ranged these hills. After receiving the
Big Sioux, the river swings away to the
west, into the land of the Dakotas; as
far as the eye can follow it around the
great bend, appears the infinite chain of
the river bluffs, reaching oT now into
the wilderness, headed definitely at last
for the Rocky mountains. This appears
like the limit of civilization we are at
the end of the thickly-settled stretch of
the river that begins at Kansas City,

umbrellas, old settlers are invited to
come to the front and sit in chairs; and
presently somebody prays little, and
Colonel Chittenden, of the corps of en-
gineers, formally presents the finished
structure, of which he has been archi-
tect and supervising engineer, to the So
cieiy that has planned and executed the
work. This society is represented by
beautiful old man, who sits in black
cape surveying the scene and receiving
congratulations on every hand, and
rises to thank Colonel Chittenden and
accept the monument. This is John H.
Charles, president of the Floyd Memo
rial Association, who has borne Sergeant
Floyd in mind for near half century.
1t is said that he has been doubtful
whether he would live to see this day;
he IS the first person of the assemblage;
sometimes he smiles to himself, some
times he weeps softly, and one envies
him his emotion.
Other speeches are made, some audi
BILE and some not; the crowd has abund-
ant time to study the shaft above them,
which is all some of them can see. 1t
is cloudless day, and that gigantic
needle glows brilliantly against the blue
sky. 1t is beautifully proportioned, be-
ing modelled after the most famous
monuments Of antiquity by it's designer;
one travelled speaker, in fact, states that
it reminds him forcibly of the larger of
the two obelisks at ancient Thebes,
which has stood for $500 years. 1t i'm
presses one strongly, to think that a
builder can lay hold of such a stretch of
future time as that. This, of course, is
not monolith like the Egyptian monu-
ments. 1t is made of light yellow
sandstone from Minnesota the upper
courses are somewhat stained with
temporary efflorescence, caused by
carefully considered change in the &C.
ment after winter had intervened in
the work. When the speakers are
through, the crowd cheers, the band
plays, the company of state troops fires
three volleys for the soldier under the
stone, and the exercises are over.
The story of the grave is this. Two
years after his comrades buried him on
the top of the bluff, "with the honors
due to brave soldier" they returned,
not one of them missing through death,
and halted to visit his grave. They
found that it had been opened, and filed
it up again. There followed fifty years
in which [this hilltop in the remote
wilderness was visited now and then by
careful travellers, who have left con-
fiicting records, as noted in recent num-
bers of The CONSERVATIVE, as to the
form of the memorial that marked the
grave, whether it was post or cross
aud then came the permanent settle
