The south american Trade.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S.-Judge
Lalon Thatcher, of Kansas, a member
of the committee appointed to visit
Mexico and South America in the in
terest of the trade between those
countries and the United States, arrived
IN Washington to-day from Liverpool
and called upon the Secretary of State.
He landed in New York Yesterday.
Curtis, secretary of the committee, is
expected in the@etter part of the week.
Thatcher SAM to-day: I'm every
country we visited except, perhaps
Chill. we found the authorities and
people DESTROYS of Strengthening the
relations between their country and the
United States. In nearly every case
they said: "We look upon the Uniled
States as our mother country. but have
received no attention from her. The for
elgn powers have sent commissioners
to visit US, and have endeavored to
selves and our country. This visit of
yours is the first intimation we have
had that the United States takes an
interest in US.
The reception in Chilli was indeed
chilly; officially so, though personally
we were treated very cordially. The
authorities did not express an eagerness
to promote commerce between the two
countries. In other countries, the pee
pie said the United States was big ana
rich country, and they looked upon it
as guide.
The Judge said the establishment of
steamship lines to the points of these
countries was the solution TO the pro-
blem, and pointed out that France,
England, Germany, Italy and Spain
had already established such means of
communication. In most cases the
South American States would aid in
establishing American lines. Thatcher
added that all the countries visited were
in favor Of a convention of North and
South American countries to consult on
commercial and financial interests, the
United States to take the initiative and
name the topics. These countries were
particularly interested in education.
There were already American teachers
ii the Argentine Republic. These coun-
tries also all advocated the adoption of a
common silver coin, especially the ma
tons which mine silver The commission
will make report of its visit to each
county. While the commission is not
called upon to make recommendations
1t will probably suggest convention be
called to which all Central and South
American countries and Mexico be in
vited to send delegates.
