number of persons in the depot this morn
inc At 9:1O O'Clock the train left the sta
tion on its way to Lawrence and Lowell.
The party arrived at Lawrence about 10
O'clock. Here they were shown through
the Pacific cotton mills. They did not
undertake to follow the process Of spinning
and weaving cotton into cloth, but did
closely examine the print works, and also
the paper mills of w. A. Russell & Co.,
where they saw blocks of wood turned into
rolls Of printing paper. Then they went to
Lowell, where they visited the great manu-
featuring concerns.
THE FIRST DAY OF BUSINESS.
The day has been the first one of solid
business upon lines upon and within which
the International congress was projec ed.
Foreigners, in several instances, have placed
themselves in closer relations with the
manufacturing interests they have visited.
They have carefully and shrewdly observed
what they have seen. They have talked of
prices, terms, and business methods with
the heads of the establishments visited.
Mexico for Instance indicated an interest in
carpets, and Costa Rica has scrutinlzed
prints with business purpose.
A SPECIMEN DIALOGUE.
At the Pacific works in Lawrence, sub
stantially this dialogue took place between
southern delegate and the head of the
concern:
you use fustic dye woods, do you notp'
asked the foreigner.
1--WE do, much of it," was the interested
answer
''There is no duty in your country on fus-
tic, and we can furnish you that" said the
delegate.
The mill official displayed lively inter
est, and subsequently The two had arranged
to exchange prices and samples, and condi-
tons of Shipment were compared. Other in
quiries in like direction were made and
promptly met.
MUST STICK TO THE ITINERARY.
William E. Curtis, who, under the direc-
ton of the state department, is In charge of
this International expedition. has received a
great number of kilograms from cities who
are importunate that the train and
its occupants shall stop for inspection
and entertainment. While these evil
dences of national interest are
deemed gratifying, Mr.. Curtis desires
through the Associated Press dispatches to
answer all these cities speedily, that the
route has been carefully laid out, and that
every moment of time allotted is so utterly
filed that no deviation from the already
announced itinerary is possible. This is
definite.
THE GILLIAN MINISTER.
Mr.. Curtis has also received a telegram
from the Chilian minister, who Is delegate
to the congress, and who has recently ar
rived in this country, saying tn at
as soon as he has recovered
from the effects of his long sea
voyage he will join the excursion party.
He is man advanced in years, and the
fatigue OF the voyage has necessitaued a
rest before he again undertakes a journey.
The party dlned aboard the train while
returning to Boston from Lowell, and upon
their arrival here were driven to the theater,
where the evening was spent.
