THE P4N,AMERICAN CONGRESS.
REORGANIZATION OF BUREAU OF soUTI
AMERICAN REPUBLICS.


Mexico City. Jan. 21.-The committees Of the
Pan-American conference which had not re-
ported fastening to finish their reports.
The plan for the reorganization Of the Bureau
of American Republics is completed. 1t places
the bureau under the direct control of the Diplo-
matte Corps at Washington, with the Secretary
of State as ex-officio chairman. Its chief feat
ure. therefore. is to do away with the executive
committee of the bureau formed of limited
number OF members of the Diplomatic Corps at
Washington and presided over by the Secretary
of State
The suppression of the executive committee
is 20 be supplemented by taking the question
of future Pan-American conference out Of
the jurisdiction of the bureau altogether. The
committee on a future Pan-American confer
ence will recommend that this question also be
left to the Diplomatic Corps at Washington, act
ing in conjunction with the Secretary of State.
The consensus of opinion among the South
American diplomats is that the bureau should
be kept strictly aloof from diplomatic and politi-
cal questions, that it may fulfill its primary
object compiler and purveyor of useful in
formation about the American republics.
No place will yet be assigned for the meet
ing of the next conference, and in the recon-
mendations the committee will not go further
than to suggest the interval of five years as a
suitable period between this and the next con-
ference The report of the committee on sani-
tary regulations has met with contention by
the Mexican authorities.

1t is needless to say that the man
ayers OF the Republican party deplore
any discussion OF the Fowler bill, and
every gold bug who has sneaked back
into the Democratic ranks agrees with
them. The ~reintroduction OF human
slavery into the territories OF the
United States, and the wiping out OF
the Declaration of independence, is
another issue that will have to be dis
cussed, and one which Republicans
desire to say as little as possible about.
Republicans also have an aversion to
hearing any allusion to Hell Roaring

children above the age of ten years in
the Island OF Samar. They will con-
sent to discuss the trust question or

never was a time when so many ques.
tons of far-reaching Importance were
before the people, unless we except
the period just prior to the civil war.
