At just s15 o'clock this morning. the hour
fixed BY the published schedule for starting,
the train bearing the delegates to the inter-
national congress on their tour Of inspection

out Of that station, with the possible exception
Of the train that carried the President Of the

was the dynamo which furnished electricity to
illuminate the entire train, the bath room and
barber shop, the library, and the smoking car.
BEHIND THE COMPOSITE CAR
was the dining car Windsor, its larder stocked
with every delicacy. Then came the vestibuled
Pullman cars-Russia, Japan, India, Columbus,

Pullman cars, each with twelve sections and
two drawing rooms. Each was lighted from

There was very few people in the station to say
goodbye to the delegates. Shortly before the

with the party to witness the unwilling Of the
Childs pictures there.

party were on the train. The signal for de-

EX-SENATOR HENDERSON LEFT.
Mr.. Curtis made a mistake, however, when
he said that all Of the party were on board.
Three minutes after the departure Of the train
ex-senator Henderson, the temporary chairman
OF the conference, hurried into the station. He
was too late even for the melancholy satisfac-
ton OF seeing the train pull out Of the station.
He was met by representative of the State
department, who put him on the regular 8
o'clock train for New York, on which he will be
able to reach West Point by $50 pm. II he
