with nearly everybody. Mr.. Carnegie, be-
tween shakes, said to THE DISPATCH man:
81 consider that it would scarcely be proper
ior me to say anything about the objects of
the Congress. am travelling with the,
delegates and hearing what they have to say,
and in advance of the formal sessions, do
not care to say anying."
Ex-senator John B. Henderson, of St.
Louis was found when he had few mo-
ments of leisure, outside of the whirl. He
said: ''In the course of our journeys about
the country the delegates have informally
discussed the objects of the conference.
Nothing has been done in the way of
coming to formal conclusions, and l take it
that it would be improper to do so until the
formal sessions begin at Washington.
WILL IMPROVE TRADE.
The journey has served to make the dele
gates acquainted with one another. There
is an evident desire among the foreign dele
gates to cultivate closer relations with the
United States. They desire their trade
with this country increased, and it is my
opinion that they are ready to grant to us
what they would not grant to any other ma
ton. OF course, nobody contemplates any
political union, unless it be that as far as
possible, without impairing their revenues,
they may grant a large measure Of free
trade in the commerce of all the American
States: something like Zollverein among the
German States.
SIT is impossible to say what the dele
gates consider to be the most remarkable
city or thing that they have seen. Every
day they see new cause for wonderment.
Every place has its special revelation"
Judge Morris NJ. Estee arrived from
Union City at s P. NJ, and participated in
the recentiou

and met the visitors at the cars. Outside
the gates, at the western end of the depot,
were q carriages to convey the party to the
hotel. A passage through the crowd was
opened by the police, and the delegates and
members of the reception committee passed
through, by twos, to the carriages. They
were at once driven to the Monongahela
House. Nearly all the foreign gentlemen
retired directly to their rooms, where they
had fires built. A few of them spent some
time before supper in the hotel lobby,
smoking cigarettes and chatting one with
another. Mr.. Curtis was kept busy listen
ing to complaints about baggage, fires, mail,
ETC., and did not get minutes rest.
Many people collected about the hotel and
tried to secure admittance. Captain Daniel
Silvis was on hand with five police officers,
and held the curious in check. A few of the
prominent business men of the city, in addi-
tion to those on the Reception Committee,
were admitted to the lobby. President
Schmertz, of the Chamber of Commerce, re-
ceived from Secretary Blaine the following
telegram, in response to the invitation sent
to him on Monday:
Very much regret that I cannot accept your
kind invitation. Owing to pressure of business
it is impossible for me to leave Washington at
this time.

CHARMED WITH THE LADIES.
Opinions of Delegates About the Beauty of
American Women.

Opinions of Delegates About the Beauty of
American Women.
In an interview with Jose Alfonso last
evening regarding the ladies of America,
and Pittsburg in particular, he said he
thought them very interesting. There was
no comparison, he said, between the ladies
of the United States and those of Chill, on
account of the position occupied in the
social world by them being SO very differ
ent. He thought the ladies in America
felt their importance to considerable de-
gree, but he had found them charming.
DR.. Carlos Silvera Martins found that the
beautiful ladies in the United States kept
his heart in the same conflicting state
The ladies in his own country have sue
ceeded in doing that. He admires them all
so much it is impossible to devote his whole
heart to any one of them, consequently he is
handsome bachelor.
Regarding the reception, they united in
saying it was by far the most elegant they
had received. They were profuse in the
use of adjectives in expressing their admira-
ton of the decorations of the Monongahela
House. They thought the costumes Of the
ladies especially tasty and beautiful. They
comprised everything from handsome street
costumes to full dress reception toilets. The
directoire, Wattesu, empire, Greek and
Princess styles were all to be seen and cor
responding accessories.

TIE DELEGATE FROM MEXICO
Says All Is Tranquil Between His Country
and Uncle Sam.

Says All Is Tranquil Between His Country
and Uncle Sum.
Senior Romero, Secretary of State for
Mexico, and representing his country at the
Pan-American Congress, has SO far failed to
profit by his extensive travels through the
States as to appreciate the sweet SIM
plicity of the interview. A re-
porter for THE DISPATCH was de-
sirous last night of obtaining
his views on many points of interest, but
when leading question, as to "his impress
sions of the country, was fired at him in
the center of the corridor in the Mononga-
hela, he commenced to beat retreat up
stairs. He talked as he walked, however,
and said: "My impressions of your country
are not of recent date. Why, have been
through it on many occasions before and
have travelled over 1t from Maine to Califor-
mia, and really cannot see how can an
swer you"
"Well, how about the present relations of
your country with the United States?"
Everything is tranquil between my
country and the United States, at least 1 am
not aware of any unpleasantness that exists.
thought that the official correspondence on
the matter, about which there seemed to be
a misapprehension, would have been sufi-
cient to prove that"

he aAs the MONEY


Chief BigeIow Suggests BIr. Carnegie Might
Help the City With Its Parks.
Chief Bigelow, of the Department OF Pub
lie Works, yesterday resumed the subject Of
the parks in an indirect way by saying: II
see that Andrew Carnegie is in the city. It
would not be a bad scheme to see him and
say that the library gift, although very ae-
ceptable, would now be a sort of duplication
of benefits. We will have a Carnegie Ii
brary anyhow when we take in Allegheny,
and the amount of money he would donate
for library purposes would make much
better showing in beautifying our parks.
By the way, as he is Scotchman, just mem
ton that Highland Park would be a nice
place TO beautify, and be sure you spell the
name right, as he might think it was
Hiland, and that would never do. Just see
what Mr.. Carnegie says on the question,
and 1 am pretty sure he will agree with
you on the park improvement project"

A NOTABLE DISPLAY.
Beautifully Carved Lumber for Decorative
House Finishing.

Beautifully Carved Lumber for Decorative
House Finishing.
There are few EXHIBITS at the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition that are attracting more gen.
eral attention than that made by DR.. G. L.
Goehring. of Allegheny.
Being something entirely new, and as ar
tistic as it is unique and useful, it appeals
directly to all classes. 1t consists of a full
line of samples of beautifully carved lumber
for decorative house finishing, and any other
purpose for which carved or figured lumber
may be used.
The samples of panels, wainscoting, cell
ing, moldins, ETC., shown here are suf-
fcient to give fair idea of the many uses
to which this lumber may be nut That it
will be popular there seems to be no doubt,
because the ladies pronounce it just the
thing, because it is prettier than paper and
richer than fresco.
Some of the effects produced bv alternat-
ing light and dark woods and mingline
different tones, are remarkably pretty. The
beauty OF it all is that each piece, no matter
how knotty, or gnarly, or burly, is
finished as smoothly as if polished by
hand. There seems to be no end to the fig
ures this machine will make. They are all
geometrical and consist of curves, wave
lines, diamonds, vines and their various
The singular thing about it is that one
machine does it all at one motion, and as
rapidly as the ordinary planer turns out
plain, straight goods. This makes it possi-
hle to have a house finished in these beauti-
full designs at cost very little above that
of plain lumber.
DR.. Goehring made similar exhibits at
the Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis and
Dallas exposltions, which led to the sale OF
90 machines, to be delivered as soon as they
can be completed. Architects and build
ers were unanimous in the opinion that this
will revolutionize house flushing, as this
artistically carved and highly finished lum-
Der will cost no more than the plainest
finish.
The machine on which this lumber was
dressed may be seen at the shops on North
avenue, near the railroad, Allegheny The
contract for building the new ones has been
given to j. S. Graham & Co., Rochester,
n. Y. They will soou put their shop on
double turn in order to meet the demand.
The company organized to operate the
machines in Western Pennsylvania, East
ern Ohio and West Virginia is getting
things in shape to begin filing orders very
soon.

HEBREWS in SPAIN.
Interesting Lecture By George J. LIndner.

Interesting Lecture By George ]. LIndner.
the Missionary.
Mr.. George J. Lindner, the Hebrew mis-
sionary, delivered one of his lectures last
night to large audience at the First U. P.
Church, on Seventh avenue. His subject
was. ''The Jews in Spain" During his re-
marks, Mr.. Lindner said: "The history of
the Hebrews is one long monotonous record.
In all lands they have been treated with the
same merciless cruelty. Let us select one
page from the many-leaved narrative. In
no European country have darker stains
fallen on the white livery of Christianity
than in Spain. Intolerance and bigotrY,
merciless persecution and unrelenting
cruelty, such have been the characteristics
of Spanish Catholicism in the past. And
Notwithstanding the boasted enlightenment
and progress of the present, recent events
have shown that the old cruel spirit is not
dead, that the FIRE still smolders, that the
sword is not rusIed in its scabbard."
The speaker continued further. dwelling
especially on the history of the Inquisition.

They Are Watching the Bridge to be Built
Near the Big Sandy.
The river men will have something to say
before the bridge of the West Virginia and
Ironton Railway Company, to be con-
structed across the Ohio, near the Big
Sandy river. is built. The company has
given notice that the design and drawings
of the proposed bridge and piers, with
maps and other information, will be sub
mitted to Secretary Proctor, of the War De-
partment, for his examination. The river
men and coal operators will also examine
these plans and maps. If the bridge is
built high enough and the piers set far
enough apart, they will offer no interfer-
ence; but if the channel is obstructed in any
way, they will enter protest with the Sec
retary. John A. Wood said yesterday that
hereafter the river men would take good
care not to allow the river to be obstructed
as it is now at Beaver Falls.

it would be convenient for the company to

The Court House illumination Generally
Admired.

The Court House illumination Generally
Admired.
The Court House tower last night was
illuminated as already described in THE
DISPATCH in welcome of the South Amer
ican visitors. The display was the finest,
according to the statement of Senor Romero
and other members of the delegation in
the way of electric illumination
they had seen since they visited this
country. The blending of colors by the
staining Of the globes and the beauty of the
lines composing the shield, with the word
America" showing up across the top, at
tracted general admiration. The County
Commissioners are very proud of the show,
and the work of C. R. Shepler, chief engi-
neer of the Court House, and his assistants,
is much admired and commended. The
tower will be illuminated again tonight.

DIAM1ND
BULLETIN
TO INTENDING DIAMOND
PURCHASERS.
An important increase has staken place
in the price Of diamonds. 1t is extend
ing to the markets of all countries, and
those contemplating purchases must
look to higher prices in the future.
South Africa supplies the world, and
the product is controlled by large COM
panies. viz, the De Beers. the Consoli-
dated Bultfontaine, the Kimberly Gen.
trail, the Pnllinger and several others.
The mining Of diamonds has not been
profitable to these companies by reason
of the great competition and the ex-
pense Of working the mines at their
present depth.
The De Beers Company has lately se-
cured large interest in almost all these
mines, which has resulted in the forma-
tion of syndicate controlling the sup
ply. The output of diamonds is now
limited; the shares of the companies
have greatly increased in value, and the
rough diamonds have advanced so per
cent in price. The quantity of cut dia-
monds in dealers hands is very limited
-ieeS Lndn 4OH yoole-oHO ~ ID nASA1y
probable that prices will steadily ad-
vance. We obtain our diamonds direct
from the diamond cutters, and by our
connection with member of the syndI-
cate we gained an advance knowledge
of what the state Of the diamond mar
Ket would be; hence, early placing of
orders to an important amount enables
US to furnish from now till January all
diamonds at the same prices as last year.
Intending purchasers should avail
themselves of an opportunity which
cannot occur again.
