Blaine called the international Amer
lean congress to order precisely at l p.
m. Thursday and the conference at once
proceeded 10 consider the report Of the
committee on rules. Secretary Blaine,
as soon as business was fairly started,
vacated the chair, and DIR. Guzman, of
Nicaragua, took his place as presiding

interrupted by the appearance Of DR..
Valente, the Brazilian Minister, and also
a delegate to the conference, who an

now ready to take their seats in the
conference, and Mr.. Henderson, the
American delegate, at once prepared and
proposed tho passage of a resolution
''joyfully welcoming the United States
of Brazil into the sisterhood of Ameri-
can republics"
The delegates from Columbia and San

mature. Senor Romero, the Mexican
Minister and delegate from Mexico, be-
lieving the resolution could not be
adopted unanimously, moved to lay it
on the table. This brought to his feet

eloquently and forcibly explained the
motives and feeling which prompted
him to offer this resolution. He sup

publicans 70 express a desire to see all
countries republics. He felt sorry his

At the Brazilian legation entire salts

and friendship which prompted tbs
