WASHINGTON. Feb. 2'-Blaine
sent q letter to the Associated
Press last evening recOunting that
on January 3Oth he addressed let
ter to the President asking him, in
in view of the sllusions made by
Ffelinghuysen to the proposed
Congress OF American Nations,
If 1t IL the fact that the scope
and design OF the Congress had
been greatly misunderstood, to di-
rect the publication of the original
invitation, or grant him (Blaine)
permission to publish it; that in
the afternoon the President sent
q verbal message to the effect
that he saw no objection
to the publication, but had referred
the matter to the Secretary of
State; that yesterday the Chief
Clerk Of toe Secretary of State sent
q note that Frelinghuysen would
publish the dispatch when called
for by Congress-; that this morning
he (BIaine), by note, asked Win
dom. Chairman Of the Committee
ON Foreign Relations, 10 call for
the correspondence; that on the ar.
rival of the New York papers he
saw published therein the doeu.
ment in question, but with many
errors. The dispatch was obtained
surreptltiously by some means to
him unknown. He then furnishes
q corrected copy Of the original doe
ument. 1t Begins with reference
to the we'll known peaceful
attitude of the United States which
has caused other American Repub-
lies to often ask Its advice and ar.
bitration. The existence of this
tendency cOnviDces the President
that the time ia ripe for q proposal
that will enlist the good will and
active cooperation of all the States
of the Western Hemisphere In the
interest Of humanity and the CON.
mon wea and an invitation will he
extended 20 participate In a gener-
al Congress to be held at Washing
ton Nov. 22d next, to consid.
er methods for preventing war
between the nations of America.
He desires the attention of Con.
gress to be strictly directed to that
one object. He wishes 1t UNDER
stood that the President Is not AIM
ing to counsel any detrimental So
luton of the existing question
which may now divide any Of the
countries of America, and for that
reason the date for the assembling
Of Congress was put so far ahead
Ne to render the settlement of that
question probable. In the mean
time 1t is far from the intent Of
this Government to appear as the
protector of its neighbors or necss-
sary arbiter of their disputes, but
1t Wishes to maintain impartial
riendship towards all.
