All America for ArbitratIen.

A committee for the Pan. American
Congress at Rio de Janeirio on Tuesday
presented resolution urging all couD-
tries there represented to send delegates,
t. The Hague Peace Conference in-
slructed TO make every effort for the
adoption of o general arbitration conven-
ton. The report Of this committee was
adopted by exclamation.
The committee appointed by the last
Psu-American Conference, which was
held in Mexico 10 1902, reported that
the proposed intsrcon,inentsl railway
extending from New York to Buenos
Ayres, distance of 10, 400 miles, had
been found to be entirely feasible. This
was based largely on the Investigations
made by Charles N. Pepper. who, as
special commissioner, went over the
South American surveys. The commit
Zee finds that the cost would be S32, 900
mile, but that an expenditure of $780,
600, 900 would insure the completion of
all the unconstructed links. This is
thought to be not beyond the resources
of the dozen republics interested. The
committee says the plan has been in
dorsed by such men as Andrew Csrne-
gle, A. j. Cassatt and Thomas L. Ryan.
The actual mileage not yet provided for
in private or governmental projects is

The Insurance Commissioner.

The opinion of the Court of Appeals
ia the case of Joseph Button against
the State corporation commission,
in which, at recent special term,
writ of msndamus was awarded
commanding the Corporation Commission
to administer the oath OF office 10 Com
missioner Button, has been fled in the
clerks Office of the court in Richmond.
Judge Whittle, who wroie the opinion,
confined it to discussion of the
constitutionality Of the act OF the
general assembly providing for the cleo
{ on of the commissioner of insurance by
the legislature, no allusion being made
to the contention of the corporation CON-
mission that, acting in ministerial ca
pacity in administering the oath, it had
no right to pass upon the constitutions
atty OF the law. i
After setting forth the section of the
constitution which, the commission con-
tended, conferred upon il the authority
to appoint the insurance commissioner,
the opinion states that there are certain
fundamental principles which must not
be lost sight of in considering the con-
stitutionality Of the act.
"In government such &C ours, Of re-
served powers" it said, "the legislative
department acknowledges 10 superiors
except the Federal and State constitu-
tions, and its authority 10 eosct laws,
unless forbidden by one or the other of
these instruments, 10 express terms or
by necessary implication, is paramount"
