1t may be all right, but It does seem to
be just bit cheeky for New York to pick
out site for the Worlds Fair when, so far
as appears of record she has not yet raised
dollar to contribute toward the expense
of that enterprise. Or perhaps she lie
holding back for her restaurant and hotel
walters to step forward and provide the
necessary funds. As the regularly adver.
tised millionaires Of the city are not rush.
Ing to the front at any great rate, it de-
wolves on the walters to do the handsome
and put the exposition on financial
basis" No class of men In New York
would be more able to do 1t, perhaps; Ger.
tainly none would more thoroughly reap
the golden harvest 1t Is hoped will be
reaped

CONGRESS- OF AMERICAN NATIONS.

There Is nothing particularly new about
the congress Of delegates from the nations
of North and South America convoked at
Washington on the LIST inst. Such q con.
gress met at Panama In 1896, and another
at Lima In 1856; the former becoming
memorable on account of the heightened
and angry debate II provoked In congress
at the time. Neither was noted for any
striking or lasting results.
The present congress consists Of from
two to five delegates each, with secretaries
and other attaches, from the Argentine
Republic, Bolivia, Brazil, Chill, Columbia,
Costa RIGA, Ecuador, Guatemala, Hondu-
ras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Salvador
and ten from the United States, to wit:
John b. Henderson, Cornelius N. Bliss,
Chas. b. Flint, Clement Studebaker, T.
Jefferson Coolidge, VIM. II. Trecott, An
drew Carnegie, Henry G. Davis, Morrle NJ
Estee and John +. Hanson. In all, the
congress will consist, with Its secretaries,
&c, Of about 100 members.
To accommodate these gentlemen, the
handsome big Wallach Mansion, at the
corner of 18th and SITS. In Washington,
has been gorgeously fitted up by the gov.
eminent as great big club house, with
culinary department, smoking room, read
Ing room, &c, &c. Here, as each Of the
delegations arrived, on Monday and Tues
day, they were Hospitality received by
Walker Blaine, who, is said, on occasions
of this character, to be quite as fellcitious
In speech and manner as his illustrlous
father.
On Tuesday the delegates had a formal
reception at the state department, where
they were welcomed by Secretary Blaine,
In, of course, happy" speech, but as re-
porters were not admitted, the speech Is
not published. Enough of It has leaked
out, however, to show that the delegates
were not little amused at the "polnters"
given them by Mr.. Blaine, the burden
of his advice being that substantially given
by the President to " Corporal" Tanner on
his appointment, but which the latter so
aagrantly disregarded,-" Don't talk" He
told the delegates their deliberations ought
to be kept secret, their duties being really
Of diplomatic nature, and one of the
prime elements Of diplomatic success was
the faculty Of keeping a still tongue.
Particularly, he advised them to beware Of
the newspaper men. Their ways were soft
and insinuating, but the man In public life
who tarries long In their company too oft
en- has occasion to regret IT,
Subsequently the delegates were FORM
ally presented to President Harrison,

The first meeting of the congress wa
held on Wednesday, which was opened In
formal public address by Mr.. Blaine. A

by appointing Delegate Henderson Presi-

being that Mr.. Blaine will be the perma
nent president The president pro tenn
was directed to appoint committees on
permanent organization, rules, order OF
business, &c, and then the body adjourn
ed 70 Nov. 18th.
Meantime the entire party are to be
treated to fortytwo days free ride of
8, 406 miles all over the United States. For
their accommodation the Pennsylvania r.
X. Co. has taken the contract to forward
special train of seven vestlbule cars-.five
sleepers, dioing car and composite car,
the last to contain dynamo to furnish cleo.
trio light for the whole train, and also to
comprise compartments for bathing room,
barber shop, smoking room, library and
buffet. A courier will precede the train
several days to see that all arrangements
are perfected. A crew of 90 men has
been selected TO run the train, and there
will be no change Of cars or men during
the entire trip, The party will be In the
especial charge of Captain John G. Burke,
of the 4th Cavalry, and Lieut.. Henry Il.
Lemiy, who haye been selected fori their
familiarity with the Spanish and Portu-
guese languages.
As to the outcome of the "congress,"
over which all this preliminary fuss is
made, II would of course be rash at this
early day to make any prediction. Its
prime object, OF course, Is TO promote clos
er friendship, freer intercourse and above
all more extended trade between the Unit
ed States and the other nations Of the con-
tinent. At present the foreign trade of the
Central and South American nations Is said
to exceed $500 100000 year, of which
hardly $l00,000,000 is with the United
States; whereas, In fact, we ought to have
the bulk of this trade. But:as our trade
with other American sovereignties, which
was double forty years ago what 1t is now,
has been confessedly ruined by our pro-
tective tariff policy, 1t is obvious there can
be no restoration of that trade except by
material modification of our tariff.
OF this, with the delegation (above
namedD on the part of the U. s., there is
clearly no room for hope. The gentlemen
are without exception, pronounced protec-
tionists, and to this, and to the fact Of be-
Ing especial personal and business friends
Of the president and Mr. Blaine, they en-
tirely owe their appointment. Henderson
was chairman of the convention that NOM
mated Blaine for president In 1884; Bliss
was chairman Ct the Republican State
convention of New York, and Carnegie is
the man who gave Mr.. Blaine such a
splendid picnic in Scotland two years ago.
And so on to the end. Our delegates, taken
all together, are not brilliant set, and In
that regard are no comparison with the
gentlemen coming from q distance.

PURELY SENSATIONAL.

a very sensational Item was herAitteu
along the wires last Tuesday from New
York, announcing tho fact that the
Herald Of that city had just exposed a
plot "concocted ly English detectives
and desperate Irishuen" TO blow up al
English vessel in New Z orlS harbor, the
object 10 view being to force the adop-
tion Of the British American treaty and

TIE Herald is nothing il it is not sen
sational. There isn't perhaps the least
vestige of foundation TO statements
made by that Journal i'll this. its latest
attempt, to cast ignominy Oh a good
cause. We may rest assured that this,
like many other reports of similar ma.
ture in the past from the same source,
have originated within the confines OF
the Herald building. Irishmen are not
banding themselves together with Eng
lish detectives and the Herald we'll
knows It. When they get ready to
blow up English vessels it will be with
out the assistance Of the aforesaid de-
tectives and without the knowledge of
sensational journals. No one will be-
Iieye for a moment, however. that such
an act is contemplated. Success is too
near at hand now to be imperi(ed in
such q way--a fact which is recognized
by Irishmen III all lands.

FOR THE LADIES.

Polenaises with diagonal fronts are
still popular.
Pale gold with pink is faverite color
combination in evening toilets.
Stylish belts are of mottled skarkskin,
with buckles of carved ivory or silver.
Brocades are effectively blended with
tulle in some handsome evening toilets.
Cnt-out gilt appllques are used to
trim handsome cloth dresses and opera
cloaks.
Some of the newest jet passenteries
are relieved by intermixed beads of cut
coral.
Silk astrakhan is used as border up
on many of the new tailor gowns and
jackets.
Gold and colored enamelled dial plates
are noted in some of the newest ladies'
watches.
Open-faced watches are now more
popular with the ladies than tho closed

Seal plush garments ara said to retain
their original appearance much longer

THEIR EVIL TACTICS,

A. number Of letters and kilograms
were published in the Buffalo Courier
last Sunday morning that created a
sensation. From associated press dis
patches we glean the following: In
August last a Black Rock mechanic at
Buffalo, just naturalized, being out of
work and III need Of money, conceived
the scheme OF making something out Of
the London Times He wrote q letter
to the publishers Of that paper to the
effect that while working as mason
on the New York aQueduct he came
across two Irishmen who were in pos.
session Of documentary evidence that
wonld prove the letter ia which the
Times relies on in the present inyesti~
CATION to be perfectly genuine. His
language was: There are two Irishnen
here that were indirectly in the combine
to murder Cavendish and Burke, where
l can get all the proof you want for
very little" This person received q
cablegram from the London Times tell
ing h!m ito hold on to the men at all

tive would soon be on American soil

OF j. T. Kirby, or ''Cris Thomas" and

would the rewards be liberal to all
who would serve in procuring proof,
but the protection would be ample. He
requested the Buffalo man to proceed to

mixing with any one in the city and to
keep closed mouth. This was written
on August %. The Buffalo man did
not go to New York, and his replies to

TIKI spirited protest Of the united

is one for which to Gnd parallel we
should travel back to the worst periods

however, bear his sufferings in the
