THE PAN-AMER1oAN CONGRESS

r. ROM time to time there have come discour-
r. aging reports concerning the prospects of the
approaching Pan-American Congress which is
to assemble during the present month in the City of
Mexico First, the antagonism of Chile to certain
proposals for submitting boundary disputes to ab-
btration declared to be insuperabe OBJ
stacle to success and when that was overcome new
set Of obstacles found in the disturbances in the
isthmus and the threatened outbreak OF war between
Colombia and Venezuela
1t seems that diplomacy backed by resolution
the part of our Government and working with
patience and with tact has last made the way clear
for the accomplishment by the congress of consid-
cradle part at least of the good work that is expected
of it. Many of the diplomatic representatives at
Washington OF the Central and South American
States have been appointed by their Governments to
represent them at the congress- and that in itself is
promising of good. Those delegates will not meet
as strangers They will carry from Washington to
Mexico good understanding of one another and
frendiness born of long social and diplomatic rea-
tions that will be helpful to the congress in many
ways. 1t is to be noted moreover that manv of the
other delegates to the congress have visited Wash
ington for the purpose of having conferences with
Secretary Hay as a preliminary to proceeding to
Mexico Some of these to stay the cap
tal until the time to start for the congress
and then they will make the trip together in special
train.
Out of all the preliminary canvassng of the ques-
tons that to come before the congress it is reas
enable to expect that basis Of agreement on many

not willing that he shall be displaced. The
committee adjust this in some way
am familiar with the duties and response
bilties of the work at the City Hall and know
how important it is that the Mayor should be
strongly supported by the Board of Supervis-
ors. Yes, understand that Mayor Phelan was
consulted in all the Democratic nominations for
the board, yet I only made one suggestion re-
garding Supervisors and that was ignored.
Speaking of the campaign committee,
the nominee for Mayor remarked that it
was customary for the head of the ticket
to name or be consulted in naming such
committee. Mr.. Wells said:
1 am familiar with the custom, as I have
served on two campaign committees. 1t was
a surprise to me when 1 heard that Max Gold
berg was not placed on the campaign COM
mittee. but this can be rectified by the en-
largement of the committee. Chairman Rior
dan can add Mr.. Goldberg to it, Mr.. Goldberg
is an able and useful man. He is familiar with
the duties pertaining to the management of the
campaign
Should Have Seen Jerry Burke.
Brilsford P. lint. the particular friend
of Mr.. Wells, ran for Mayor twenty-four
years ago and was defeated by 1. S. Kali
loch. Max Goldberg, who goes on the
campaign committee, is an alert shaver of
demands on the city treasury. He ran for
delegate to the Republican local conven-
uoH' puI was turned down by the people
of his district. Whenever delegates to a
convention, State district are appoint
ed Max Goldberg gets in. When the vot-
ers are consulted he is generally kept out.
Asa r. Wells predicament in the mat
ter of B. p Flint's aspiration for SER
vice on the Board of Supervisors is the
result of neglected opportunity Mr.. Her
rim being engaged in other duties con-
nected with the railroad delegated to Jere
Burke the task of selecting for the Re-
publican convention list of eighteen can
didates for the Board of Supervisors. Mr..
Wells should have made his wishes known
to Mr.. Burke before the slate was closed.
This after growl places the railroad COM
pany in a very embarrassing position
and causes the push to swear that the
nominee for Mayor is a political lobster
Of the seventeenth degree.
AS late as IL o'clock last night Mr..
Wells said:
At this hour my decision to retire from the
ticket If Mr.. Flint is not put on for Supervisor
is unchanged
Chairman Riordan Speaks.
Thomas D. Riordan, chairman of the
Republican Convention, made several
statements yesterday as to his CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Wells. In an interview
representative of this paper had with
him. on Montgomery street he denied

points will have been reached before the congress
meets. Consequently may have important re-
suits, notwithstanding the gloomy situation at the
isthus. In fact far from the strife in that quar-
ter resulting in failure of the congress- it is quite
possible the congress may result in putting an end
to the strife.
The issue is of importance to us as we'll as to
the countries south of u.s. In recent article in the
London Saturday Review it is estimated that the
European capital invested in Central and South
American countries aggregates the vast sum Of
81 500 o,ooo Most of the invested capital is Brit
ish, but the Germans are pushing their commerce
with all the countries south of u.s. and their monetary
interests there are very large We afford to
sit idle and permit the trade of these American states
to be taken away from us. 1t is therefore to Our in
terest to do all we can to bring the Pan-Amercan
Congress to happy conclusion and in particular
strive to so direct its proceedings that the actions
of the congress with respect to international
merce will be mutually beneficial to all American
countries.
