The conference will be carried on in
both Spanish and English" says
Melchor Obarrio, of Bolivia. "The
South Americans will speak in Spanish
and the United States delegates in En-
glish. After each address an interpreter
will give the substance of the remarks
in the other language. Then each
night there viii be published the pro-
ceedings Of the day translated into
Spanish and English. All the delegates
can then read the full proceedings in
their own language and can reply the
next day to any argument which they
might not have fully understood when
delivered"
Monday night the delegates were en-
tertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Potter Palmer
at their mansion on the lake shore
drive. The reception to the delegates
was informal and in a measure i'm
promptu. Mr.. Palmer offered them the
first social recreation that has fallen into
their round of sightseeing.
At 10 o'clock a. m. the delegates paid
a visit 10 the great wholesale dry-goods
| house of Marshall Field IL Co., and were
escorted through all parts of the i'm
mense building, which was tastefully
decorated with the flags of all the
Americas. The display of silks, laces
and rugs and other costly goods were the
finest by far that they had ever beheld.
From the dry-goOds house the visitors
were escorted to the Board of Trade.
Here they were bewildered by the
sights and the ovation that was ten
dered them. Every square inch In the
massive structure was occupied
by bowling, yelling horde
of men. From every window
hats and handkerchiefs were waved long
before the party reached the doors.
Cheer after cheer was given IL greeting.
After inspecting the trading floor for a
few moments the delegates went up
into the gallery and then watched the
yelling. bowling, frantic crowd which
had resumed its mad scramble in the
different pits
