WASHINGTON, May 25.—The Pan
American Financial Congress opened
its sessions here today with repre
sentatives of all countries in North
and South America excepting Mexico
and Canada.
President Wilson made an address
of welcome to the delegates and sug
gests rivalry without aggression as
the best means of building up in all
of the countries of the two Americas
healthy business conditions.
Other speakers urged uniform com
mercial laws in all the countries as
a means of bettering trade conditions,
while still others insisted that more
/ships are needed of American regis
ter to build up business between the
different countries and relieve all of
the different nations of dependency
upon Europe in financial matters.
NOME, May 25.—The little steamer
Corwin reached here at 4:30 yester
day aternoon and flags were flying
and all whistles blowing to welcome
the first steamer of the year to enter
the Nome roadstead. The boat had
scarcely reached the roadstead when
the work of unloading began and
fresh fruits, oernea and vegetables,
which have been unknown Here for
months, were placed on sale. Several
restaurant owners endeavored to cor
ner the supplies brought on the boat
but failed.
A small amount of private mail was
brought on the Corwin but the postal
department refused to give the ship
the mail for Nome, which will come
north on the revenue cutter Bear and
the regular mail boats.
The earliest the Corwin has reach
ed here previous to this has been on
May 27th, and thus two days have
been taken from the record. The
boat brought 102 passengers.

Van, In Eastern Asia Minor, Now Held
By Czar’s Soldiers—Turks Have
Killed Christians.
TIFLIS, May 25—The Russian army
has occupied the Turkish city of Van
j on Lake Van in eastern Asia Minor.
The Russians are trying to protect
Christians, who are being molested by
the Turks, and reports here indicate
that thousands of Christian Assyrians
and Armenians have been slaughtered
by the Turks and Kurds. The women
have been assaulted or taken cap
lives to become the slaves of Turks
and Kurds and have been dragged
from their homes in spite of the pro
tests of American missionaries and
consular agents.
The Turkish troops in eastern Asia
Minor have been defeated and are
fleeing westward to join the new
forces that are reported as coming
to their assistance. The German offi
cers commanding the Turks have had
great difficulty in controlling the
troops.
