INTERCONTINENTAL RAILROAD.
Mr.. Curtis Says II il Coming, Despite
All Opinions to the Contrary.

One Of the matters which the Pan-American
conference brought to the front and which il
still there is the intercontinental railroad
scheme. Additional interest is given this mat
ter by the fact that the international railroad
commission will meet here in a little while to
arrange preliminaries and to make recommeu DE-
atoms to the respective governments Ex-Gov.

minister to both Brazil and Chill, 10 Of the
opinion that the railroad will never be built
and in a recently published interview said the
accomplishment Of such project was not even
within the range of probability. Three obsta-
cles, he said, we're conspicuous among the rea,
sons for his opinion-the cost the practical
impossibility of the territory and the snor.
nous freight charges.
MR.. CURTIS ON THE oTHER SIDE
On the other side OF the argument is Mr
William E. Curtis, executive officer of the in
ternational American conference, whose South
American experience amounts TO q good deal
To a STAR reporter, who called Mr. Curtis ct.
tention to the interview with Gov Osborne.
that gentleman said: There are always croak4
ers sitting around on the stumps when q great
enterprise rs undertaken, and occasionally you
ind one like Gov. Osborne, who ought 70
know better. He was a very popular minister
in Chill and Brazil, and lie an able, accomplished
and handsome man, but he 10 a pessimist by
nature and always sings in q minor key. Some

yet the widespread and rapidly increasing in.
terest in South American affairs began with
that commission and was aroused By
it Its reports were sought and read
by the merchants and manufacturers
Of this country, to a degree that few people
realize and the information these documents
contained was found OF the greatest value. The
statistics show that our trade with Latino
America began to grow then and has kept On
growing ever since. The report OF the supers
intendent Of foreign mails will show that corr
respondence between this country and Latina
America has more than quadrupled in the lasl
i've years. With some countries the increase
has been 200 per cent
THE PAS-AMERIcAN CONFERENCE.
''Gov. Osborne also thought that the Pan.
American conference would be q failure,
no results would ever come from il and he was
quite certain that our Congress would never
approve of the policy Of reciprocity treaties.
He holds similar views about the intercoioniai
railway, but we are going to have reciprocity
treaties and a railway all the same. Lots OF
men talked in the same way when Prof Morse
invented the telegraph, and more Illustrious
statesmen than Gov. Osborne declared that
the Atlantic cable would never succeed and
that the transcontinental railroads of tAa
United States would never be built"

THE TRADE WITH MEXICO.
A Citizen Of That Republic Thinks
There Are Millions In Reciprocity.

Secretary Blaine has received FROM Carlos
Girls, . citizen Of Miahustan, ststs Of Oaxsca,
Mexico. and . representative OF the Agricul-
tural Company Of Oaxaca, an interesting letter
on the subject of reciprocity. Mr.. Girls says:
''The treaty OF reciprocity between the United
States and the Sandwich Islands has built up
trade which in the year 1889 amounted 10

the United States by Messieurs Romero and
Grant would not produce equal, il not greater.
results II so, the trade between Mexico and
the United States, if increased in the same
proportion rs that with the sandwich Islands,
might in a short time come to amount TO
]. 500 or 1000 millions Of dollars q year. The
agricultural, commercial and industrial char
acteristics Of Mexico and the United States are
so different that the two nations complement
each other, so to speak. We Mexicans now

in the United States. We cannot purchase in
large quantities because we have not the

since you are. no doubt, perfectly aware Of it
las journalist and merchant have studied
almost every portion of this country, and be-
lieye voice the general opinion in assuring
you that Mexico desires the greatest possible
freedom In its commercial relations with the
United States. 1have likewise travelled in the
United States and it has seemed TO me TO be
entirely clear that that country needs and de-
sires freedom in its commercial relations with
Mexico.
''Some American papers" continues Mr. Girls,
urge the objection that Mexico can produce
everything that the United States produce.
This is true; but it would not pay Mexico to
produce what the United States produce, nor
would it pay the United States to produce what
Mexico produces. 1t will never pay US better
to make plows or cotton cloth than to plant
coffee and cane sugar; and the United States
will not find greater profit in growing plsntains

tries is especially well adapted to produce wha,

SUICIDE OF A CHILD.
Eleven-Year-Old Philip Fluharty's Head
Turned by the Miller Murder.

Philip Fluharty, eleven years Of age, was
found about o'clock on Thursday morning
dead and hanging at the end Of rope In the
hatchway ofthe stable Of John s. Ward. Beach
and Marlborough streets, Philadelphia. The
case was evidently one of suicide. Mrs. Fluharty
had sent Philip to the wharf below their house
with a message for his father. He did not re-
turn as soon as she thought he should, and
fearing that he perhaps had fallen into the
river, she went to look for him.
After looking the yard all over and shouting
his name several times she went to look for
him at the stable. The first thing she saw on
entering the building was her boys body hang
ing through the hatchway. The mothers
screams soon brought the father to her side
and the boy was quickly cut down. but he was
already cold, and it was imme diately seen that
any effort at resuscitation would be useless.
The rope on which the boy was found hang
ing was one used for lowering feed from the
loft of the stable to the first floor. 1t was a
half-inch line and on the end was a heavy iron
hook The moose was made by pulling the
hook around the rope. 1t is hard to under-
stand how this could be accomplished except
Intentionally. A talk with Mrs. Fluharty
brought out the fact that the boy has been
taking an almost sordid interest in the Miller
murder at Merchantville. At his home they
ali are subscribers for an evening paper, and
the boy every evening would wait impatiently
for the arrival Of the paper. Upon getting it
he would go off by himself and read it over
again and again.
He took a special delight in the bloody de-
tails of the tragedy, and the day succeeding
the murder. after he had been looking at the
paper for a long time, he turned to his mother
and said: Il wonde: il it hurt her much when
he cut her throat" Again, when the POSSIBLE
ity Of hanging Lingo was discussed, he said
eagerly: Il wonder how it feels to be
hung" For the past few days he had been
talking with his parents almost continuously
about the case.
Few people who knew the boy will even dis
cuss the suicide theory, as the boys happy dis
position and general good behavior made him
very popular in the neighborhood. theory
which has many adherents in the locality is
that the boy stood on the ladder leading to the
loft and, putting the rope around his neck, fell
off. That he made desperate struggle to re-
lease himself is almost certain, as the left boot
he had on at the time has several large
scratches upon it. It is also marked with brick
dust where he had kicked the wall in his strug-
giles
