viii Name Mr.. Buchanan.
In connection with the committee the
delegations have the right to appoint
one member each for the Committee
on Arbitration and Court of Arbitra-
ton. 1t is understood that the dele
cation of the United States will ap-
point w. J. Buchanan as its represen-
tative on the Arbitration Committee,
owing TO the fact that he speaks Span
ish and is familiar with South Ameri-
| can questions. owing to his residence
at Buenos Ayres as United States min
| lister.
- The personnel of the other commit
| tees will be appointed by the provision
| al 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 Importance to that on arbitration.
1t is understood that John, Parrott, a
United States delegate. will be a MEM
ber of the Committee on international
Equity and Court of Claims.
The discussion of press privileges
this morning was attended with some
surprises. Isaac AlZamore, vice presi
dent and delegate of Peru, made
splendid speech in favor of the ampIest
privileges to the press, while the Chill
ian delegates manifested opposite opin-
ions.
The recommendation to include the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition among
the subjects of general welfare was
introduced by Senator H. G. Davis,
who dwelt on the Importance of the
ST. Louis Exposition. John Barrett,
another United States delegate to the
congress, spoke at greater length on
the same subject and alluded to Presi-
dent McKinley's proclamation be-
speaking the attention and support OF
the whole world for the fair. Mr.. Bar
rett added the hope that Latin-Amer-
lea would give its hearty support and
participation to the fair as a mark of
good will towards the United States
The congress did not complete the
discussion on regulations at this morn
ing's session. The chief feature of the
session was the report of the commit
tees, of which ex-senator Davis was
chairman. The recommendations for
the appointment of committees as al
ready stated, were approved.
An extra session has been called for
Tomorrow morning to fully dispose OF
the press privileges in the congress.
1t is expected that a limited number of
newspaper representatives will be ad-
mitted.
One of the principal subjects which
the congress will discuss at future
session is means for the suppression
of anarchy
