American countries will not he represented at the E1
position This unfortunate because 1t lie especially de
siFabe hat the display Of the products OF the American
continent should be complete possible. Americans

the Panama Railroad creates between one OF her States
aud this country but she has not applied for and
has not appointed Commission. The government at
Bogoa has all IL do to suppress revolutionary upr
Mgs, and probably does not trouble Itself about the
ssrs Of the outside world Bolivia ia too poor to under
take the expense OF sending Commission here and none
