! An awkward thing happened on the first
day the headquarters of TIA. Three Aneri
cas- congress was "pen.d this week ia th'
vlrasaut. ruonny old mansion that ha,
i,-en turned over for that purpose. Mr.
Estse of California aud n nunl'er "f either
of our delegates were on hand Ia receive tn
guests. when il was discovered that not ON
in the party could speak Spanish and onl
one or two could speak French. The eel
orea messenger was called into the confer
enee aud il was asccrtained that lac e"n
speak II little d-ril~,! spanish, -" Tor II Ion
h.ur before Mr.. Ron~ro. the Mexican min
i-ter. arrived tn. colore,l messenger was Ia
sole means of e, mmrnieation i-t wesn ia
delegates.
Handsome, courtly Judy. Esie- is one {
the leading spirits of the congress. and. l'
spite his amazing faculty for Saying III
wrong thing and ut the wrong time, hs
we'll liked bv the visitors. The day si ~,
reception he made onr of his customar
mistakes He allnded several times to
resemblance he Thought was most strikiu
bet ween Mr.. Romero. the Mexican minister
and Mr. Paeher", who used To be IA cot
yrcs. from California. The resemblance i
confidently assured the party was hot
nh y.ieai aud mental, and extended to ~
tricks al manner. Now, Mr.. Hs'nrro ha
sprni nearly as much time in the Unite
STATES Ms in Mexico, and h- usel 7" kno
Mr.. Pach-ro, toward whom he bears niue
personal III feeling. Mr.. Paehero was M
torious a- one "f the most incompetent AN
uni,n,,ortant men VIII" ever SAT in e"ngres
aud his el-rtion was disgrace fo thu ele
ti..n system in California. Mr.. Houe'
knew al this u great deal heiter than fo
se,iul Judge Estes. who. ii he had lmits
himself to the commonplace and 'ndeiin'
compliments of the day, would have h-tt'
retained Mr.. Romero's regard.
