Washington. May 1.-THE commit
tee which has charge of the preparI-
tions for the coming congress of Amer
lean republics had Il further meeting
mt the state department yesterday to
consider the programme of subjects.
Considerable interest attached to the
meeting. as some difference of opinion
had arisen as to the extent To which
international arbitration should figure
i'll the discussion of the congress. The
first programme included the general
subject of arbitration. but at n recent
meeting of the committee it was deter
mined to limit the scope of the discus
sion OF arbitration so that it would
apply TO questions hereafter arising.
but not to those at present the subject
of controversy between governments.
Chilli Has an AK Grinding
This was done chiefly to bring Chill
into the congress, as that country had
made known to the state department
that its acceptance was conditional on
not having pending questions of dispute
taken up by the congress. But this
limitation of the scope of the subject
has aroused opposition from several
other South American republics, who
hold that the subject of arbitration
should be treated broadly, without
Limitations, and that the congress it
self should he left free TO determine
within what limits the question should
he discussed. This view is held more
particularly by Bolivia and Peru. and
II is said TO be shared to some extent
by Argentine and Brazil. At the meet

SORROW Is GENERAL
PUBLIC MEN OF PLYMOUTH DIS
CUSS THE BUFFALO TRAGEDY.
They Give Their Opinions ON the Assas-
sination and Convictions Relative Ia the
Suppression of Anarchy.


The attempted assassination of the
president is thrust against civiliZa-
ton. 1t means reputation not SIM
ply of this nation, but of nationality in
general. 10 feel sympathy for the vic
tim is natural because OF his utterly
unnecessary suffering. Bat bis hurt
is the worlds hurt; and to feel il, is
only an evidence TO correct selfcOn
sciOnsness. Society is organic; what
ever injuries part of it, TO grester or
less extent, injuries the whole.
Anarchy is Inconsistency incarnste
1t is opposed to the fundamental prin-
cipals of physical, moral, and spiritual
nature. 1t is rampant eFotism 1t is
monomanis resulting from faith in a
philosophy that has no apology any
where in nature or above It. 1t should
be treated as insanity of other forms.
The most consistent anarchist Ia an
absolute hermit. The best place TO
practice this moDstrOus philosophy In
consistency with its own tenets, is in
solitary confinement behind the bars of
ssylums for the insane.

A dispatch to the Indianapolis News
from Michigan City follows:-"The
situation at the Indiana state prison
grows more interesting to the gossips
daily. They recall that wht u Mr..
Shideler was appointed warden the
local politicians, including several who
are now interested IN building a
machine in Governor Durbin's behalf,
sent q committee to Shideler and
automatically suggested that the
warden remove several employees In
order to make room for local favorites.
"Mr. Shideler, with equal diplomacy,
gently but effectively kicked the de-
Legation down the back stairs. From
that day there has been no letup on the
part of the machine to get rid of
ShideIer 1t was in this interest that
Culbert was appointed q member of
the board.
"Mr. Culbert has by degrees insisted
on places for his friends, but the
warden has said that If he is to be held
responsible for the management be
must be allowed to manage. This ia
virtually the source of the trouble
which has led to the resignation of the
warden. The governor has not inter
coded for Shi0eler's protection against
the Culbert variety of politicians, and
Shideler has apparently concluded that
the governor wants him out"

The reports of the presiding elders of
the five districts of the Northwest
Indiana conference, at the conference
in Brazil Indiana, show 1t has been an
unusual year for church and parsonage

sixteen churches and six new parson-

churches St. Psuls, of LAFAYETTE, cost

New parsonages have been erected at
Rensselaer,, East Chicago, Newtown,
Newgate and battle-ground. The First
church, of Charlottesville. has one
under construction, to cost $1,000. It.
Paurs, of South Bend, will build one to
cost, with ground, $4,000. La addition
to these several churches and parson-
ages have been extensively repaired
and beautlfied.
The greatest church enterprise under
way in the conference is the st. Paul
church at South Bend, which succeeds
the old Milburn Memorial church.
The church will cost $4,000, with its
parsonage, and the church itself will be
built and furnished entirely by Glenn
Studebaker and his family. The
church is of fifteenth century gothic, of
the English type. The walls are of
split granite powders, with dressed
stone trimmings. The roof is covered
with heavy red tile. The general plan
of the building conforms to that of the
gothic cathedral, with nave and trans
ept, the chapel being but an extension
of one transept. There is elaborate

q whole month is added TO certain
