-Messrs Edwardo Aguire and Melchior
Bustamante, two gentlemen from the Argen-
tine Repu bile. are staying for fewdays at the
Monongahela. They have both been in the
States for the first time, and are very much

and Mr.. Aguire spoke of them as making very
good agriculturists. Politically everything

the Northern States and would promote
means for additional intercourse as far
as in his power. Mr.. Aguire compared

that city in its wide thoroughfares and progress
in building and extending its area. One of
the banks, he said the Provencal. had S95 0000 600
on deposit more than was possessed by the 80
banks of Chicago. AS an example of the stand
ing of some of their business men, he said that

had lately taken up municipal bonos in his own
hand to the amount of Sl0,000, 900. Senor Mel
chior Bustamante's father, who is an extensive
engineer, is engaged at presentin constructinga

will be extended across the Cordileras to San
Iago. The two gentlemen purpose going on to
Washington to have a talk with their represen-
tative, thence to New York and home by Liver
pool, route, they say, both shorter and cheaper
than via Rio Janeiro.
