WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-The Inter
national American congress will meet
at Washington at noon on the I'd of Oc-
tober next, and will be attended by from
fifty to sixty delegates, including some
of the most distinguished men of Central
and South America. 1t is not expected
that the congress will do more than per-
feet its organization at the first sitting,
and it is probable that a reception will
be rendered the delegates by the presl-
dent that evening. Upon the following
morning the party will start upon
the excursion rendered the foreign
delegates by the government OF
most opportune time, as the grand con-
clave of Knights Templar is to be held
at Washington during the following
week, and all the hotel accommodations
were engaged month ago. Arrange
ments have been made with the Penn
sylvania Railway company to take
charge of the excursion. which will be
under the direction of George w.
Boyd, the assistant general passenger
agent, and William E. Curtis, the
representatives of the state department.
A special train of Pullman cars, of the
most improved pattern, similar to those
upon the New York and Chicago linn
tied, with dining cars, bath rooms, bar
Der shop and other novel conveniences,
will be provided. The party will leave
Washington at 10 O'Clock on the morn
ing of Thursday, Oct. 3, and take the
Fall river boat at New York that even
ing. The next
TEN DAYS WILL BE SPENT
visiting the commercial and manu-
featuring centers of New England and
Northern New York. with day at
West Point military academy, and the
party will reach Niagara Falls to re-
main over Sunday, Oct. 10. On Mon
day the journey will be resumed and
continued to Chicago, with stops at
Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and
other cities. 1t is proposed to
visit Harvard university, Yale college
Michigan university, and several benev-
client and reformatory Institutions en-
route. The next Sunday, Oct. 20, and
the two following days will be spent at
Chicago, after which the large cities of
the Northwest will be visited. From
Minneapolis the special train will ruu
down via Sioux City to Fort Leaven-
worth, and return to st. Louis via
Kansas City. The capitals of
Illinois and Indiana and the natural gas
region will be visited en- route to Gin
cinnati, where, November 5, the dele
gates from Central and South America
will have an opportunity to see how an
election is conducted in the great North
American republic. From Cincinnati
the party will be taken to the Mammoth
Cave, and then either 90 through the
Southern states or journey eastward,
stopping at PittSburg, Altoona and
other cities Ell route. From Har-
risburg the train will run to Menlo
Park, where the party will inspect the
laboratories of Mr.. Edison aud return
to Philadelphia. Here three days will
be -spent,and Wilmington and the ship
yards at Chester will be visited on the
way to Washington, where the party
will arrive on the 18th of November.
The original plan was to take the party
THROUGH THE SOUTHERN STATES
rom Cincinnati and Louisville to New
Orleans by way of Nashville, Memphis
and Vicksburg, and to return to Wash
ington by way of Birmingham, Atlanta,
yet be decided to do so; but in order
that more time may be de-
voted to the South it has been
suggested by leading Southern men
that the excursion through that section
be deferred until later in the season,
when the winter hotels will be open
and the famous resorts can be seen at
their best. This, it is argued, will be to
the advantage of both the foreign
guests and the places to be WIS.,
tied. If the trip should be made
upon the return from the West, as
originally planned the party would be
fatigued and satiated with sightseeing.
whereas if it is postponed for couple
of months they will be fresh and in bet
ter cond. ton to enjoy it. Whatever the
final d. cision may be the jour
ney through the South will in
clude visits to Knoxville, Nash
vile, Memphis, Chattanooga, Vicksburg,
New Orleans, Mobile. Montgomery,
Birmingham, Atlanta, Macon, Augusta,
St. Augustine, Jacksonville. Savannah,
Charleston, Columbia, Wilmington,
Richmond and Norfolk, with other
places enroute. 1t is expected
that the citizens of the various
places visited throughout the United
States will receive the foreign delegates
as their guests and show them as much
attention as possible during the limited
time allowed for the excursion, and the
department of state is in correspond
ence with the municipal officials and the
officers of commercial organizations for
the purpose.
