the outset, they have grown accustomed to
their life on the rail.
JUDGE ESTEE COMING.
Mr.. Clement Studebaker, of South Bend,
and Judge Morris NJ. Estee, of San Fran
cisco, were with the party as far as Cincin-
natl. From that place Mr.. Studebaker re-
turned to his Indiana home, and Judge

who live at that place.
Of the foreign delegates, 13 of whom ar
rived on the special train, Messrs. Velarde,
of Bolivia; Hurtado. of Colombia; Guzman,
OF Nicaragua, and Zegarra, of Peru, are the
Ministers or their couatries at Washington.
Senor Calderon, of Colombia, is Consul Gen
eral to the United States. Senior Romero,
who arrived last night on the limited, has
been the Mexican Minister to the United
States for many years, and is the dean of
the diplomatic corps at Washington. Senior
Caamano, of Ecuador, is ex-President of
that Republic and at present Governor of
Guyaquil.
One of the most prominent of the visitors
is Judge Jose Alfonso, of Chill. In con-
versatiou on the train he expressed the
heartiest approval of the objects OF the con-
ference. He said he was entirely in favor
of improving the trade relations between
North and South America. One of the
principal leaders to that improvement he
said he considered to be the increase of ac-
quaintance between the people of the vari-
GUS countries. The present trade of Chill,
he said, is with England, France and Ger
manv. Judge Alfonso said he was de-
edited by what he had seen. Senor We
larde, Of Bolivia, said that his couutrvmen
were desirous of extending their trade with
the United States, and he thought that the
international Congress would do much to
promote that extension. "Your manufac-
lures, " he said, "are not unknown in our
country, and every year they are becoming
better known there"
Senor Hurtado, OF Colombia, who speaks
English with facility, in talking of the
commerce between his country and the
United States, said that one of the reasons
why it was not more extensive was that the
manufacturers of the United States do not
give such long credits as those of Europe.
English, French and German merchants"
he said, give credit sometimes for as long |
as two years, and charge low rates of inter- |
est. The English have been very liberal in |
their dealings with our people" Senior
spoke of the resources of his coun- |
try, saying that it was rich in minerals, but |
that the mountainous character of the coun- |
try prevented the extensive working of |
mines.
Senor Zelaya, of Honduras, in the course |
of brief conversation, said that the main |
thing necessary to increase the commerce !
between the United States and Central |
America was the establishment of facilities |
for quicker direct communication. Some of |
the older members of the party speak En- |
glish imperfectly or scarcely at all. 1t is
the younger men, who have been attached to
the legations at Washington, who have the
best command of the English language.
