A GREAT GATHERING.

Such VIII Be tho Congress of American
Nations to BE Held In Washington Dur
ing the Coming Tall.
WASHINGTON, April S-The delegates ap-
pointed to the congress Of American Ma
tons will meet in Washington very shortly
to perfect an organization and look over the
ground A great deal of preliminary work
is to be done, Information collected
and briefs prepared for presentation to the
congress. This work, it is understood,
will be divided among the several commits
sioners according to the special tastes and
fitness of each. The success Of the con-
gress will depend largely upon the number
of nations that accept All Of the Central
American epublics-Venezuela, the Argen-
tine Republic, Uruguay and Paraguay
have formally accepted. Brazil and Mexico
have indicated their intention to accept
Nothing has been heard from Colombia,
Ecuador. Peru, Bolivia, or Chilli
|, Colombia and Bolivia are in a state Of
political confusion It is doubtful whether
any representative will appear here from
Bolivia, and Colombia will probably not
send any other than the Minister resident,
Mr.. Hurtado. Peru is bankrupt and would
scarcely be able to pay commissioners II
she desired to send them. Ecuador is
probably waiting to see what Chill will
do. The latter nation has consistently
opposed any gathering of its neighbors or
any attempt on their part to enter into po-
| itical alliances The well-known purpose
| of Chill to obtain political control of the en-
tire west coast makes her hostile to such a
congress as is proposed, as we'll as to any
other measures looking toward a settle
ment of international difficulties by arb1-
tration.
The plan is to secure as many prominent
citizens and public men from the Spanish
American nations as possible, and after the
congress is organized to take them
about the United States for the
purpose of education; to show them
our progress in civilization, our me-
chanical and agricultural resources, how
political and civil liberty exist in this coun-
try, and, in short, to make them familiar
with the resources and the political, social
| religious, industrial and commercial condi-
lions of the United States. The leading
men of the Spanjsh-American nations go tc
Europe, but few of them have ever been
here.
The subjects for discussion enumerated
in the joint resolution of the Senate anc
House, which empowered the President tx
invite delegates from other countries ant
appoint them from this, are:
The adoption of uniform patent and copy
! right laws.
The establishment Of regular and frequent
means of communication between the ports o.
the various countries participating in the con
ference
The selection Of plan OF settling iEterna
tional disputes.
The adoption of uniform silver coinage.
The adoption Of 3 uniform standard o
weights and measures.
The adoption OF uniform standard OF Gus
toms and tariff duties.
