 w. j. Buchanan on Arbitration. In connection with the committees the delegations have the right to appoint one member each for the committee on arbi- tration and court of arbitration. It Is un- derstood that the United States delega- ton will appoint W. J. Buchanan as it's al o,, ha or1ait tee. owing to the fact that he speaks Spanish and is familiar with South Amer ican questions on account of his resi- dence at Buenos Ayres as United States minister. The personnel of the other com mittees will be appointed by the proyis- ional president of the congress, but 1t Is thought that he will largely follow the wishes of the delegations.
 The committee on International equality and court of claims is equal in impor- | tance to that on arbitration. 1t is under stood that John Parrott, a United States | delegate, will be a member of the com7 mittee on international equality and court of claims.
 The discussion of press privileges this morning was attended with some sur- prises Isaac Alzamora, vice president and delegate of Peru, made a splendid speech in favor of the amplest privileges to the press while the Chilean delegates manifested opposite opinions.
 The St. Louis Exposition. The recommendation to include the Louisiana purchase exposition among the subjects of general welfare was intro duced by Senator H. c. Davis, who dwelt on the importance of the St. Louis fair John Barrett, another United State dele gate to the congress, spoke at great length on the same subject. He said that when the delegates to the Pan-American congress had passed recently through St Louis, the fair directors had recommend ed the enterprise to the representatives of the several countries there gathered
 He also alluded to President McKinley's proclamation bespeaking the attention and support of the whole world for the fair.
 MT. Barrett added the hope that Latin America would give its hearty support and participation to the fair as a mark Of good will towards the United States
