here for many years.; in fact, we must
go back to the time Of the Crimean
war for a parallel circumstance. The
announcement of an early meeting of
Parliament, taken in conjunction with
the recent visit Of the Queen to Lord
Beaconsfield, and the opportune ap-
pearxnce Of the third volume Of the

A Great Trade Between The Missis-
sippi Valley and south America.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20.
At a meeting Of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Merchants Exchange this
evening, Charles Nathan, who has
spent several months in the West
Indies and South America, ~investigat-
ing the trade and commerce of these
countries, and the prospects for sus-
tanning q steamship line from New
Orleans. made quite an elaborate re-
port. He believes a great trade can be
built up between the Mississippi val
ley and South America, with but little
effort and not much money. It was
proposed to organize q company, to be
called the Mississippi Valley Trading
Company, to charter steamers for the
trade, and its Board Of Directors to
have authority to make advances on
shipments by shareholders. A consid
cradle sum has already been SUBJ
scribed in New Orleans to such COM
pany, and the project il very favora
bly, received here. Another meeting
will be held in two or three days,
when it is probable that some def
mite action will be taken.

committees promise to deluge the
country with facts of little value con-
corning Mexico. Schleischer. in sum-
moning Minister Foster, has made the
wissst move. SchIeischer thinks the
non recognition of the Diaz Govern
ment good policy, a. once recognized,
Diaz would let the border go. and
make no further attempts to prevent
raids. Colonel s. Skater and Bulls
have been summoned here by the
War Department for examination by
the Military Committee.
