WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-If there ere
not closer trade relations established be-
tween the United States and the South
and Central American republics, it will
be no fault ei the administration in gen-
eral and Secretary Blaine in particular.
Every possible effort has been made to
bring about through private as well as
public channels an extension OF our
commercial relations with the Latin.
American countries III the interest Of cur
manufacturers, merchants and farmers,
who are interested in exporting their
products to those plarkets. Il lisa novel
thing to have Z general information
bureau established and maintained by
the Government Heretofore persons
dealing in imports and exports who have
desired information 0! benefit, have been
compelled either to employ agents or
pay professional venders OF information
for that which they desired.
Through the Pan-American Buresu
any American may secure almost any
kind OF information desired, and il thore
is not at hand the information wanted,
tho manager, Mr.. Curtis, will. il posi-.
bic, procure the information desired, OF
do anything which will promote the
general interest OF American trade. I,
looks now from tho perfection with
which tho bureau is being organized, as
though practical reciprocal trade rela.
tions will be established between thp
United States and the South and Centra!
American countries without a law. O
couras the customs duties between the
two countreH stand as usual but trade
relations are being rapidly perfected. AZ
soon as these relations iiave been secured
the importance OF q reciprocal! trade Law
will more rapidly appear.
Looked at from any point OF view
Secretary Blaine is very rapidly demon
strating the feasibility OF his proposed
trade law. Since the meeting OF the
Pan-Americau Congress, year ago, the
people OF the United Sta.ea have learn
ed more about the countries to the soutl
ufthem than they ever knew before. 5
bushel OF mail is daily received at tht
Pan.American headquarters now, max
ing inquiries about matters intended tt
assist those interested in opening ur
trade relations, and it is wonderful hos
many reques,sa.e made for the Cons!itu
ton OF Brazil and her sister republica
The South and Central Americas ar,
probably just at this time receivin;
greater benefit from this trade agitatio:
than are the United States. because the,
are receiving IN enormous amount U
American capital and enterprise.

trying to get UP to an area OF high baro.

Will have her full share of depression.
The weather bureau sent out warninss

railroads to look out for heavy snow,
and ordered northeas: storm signals to

serious delays baing in western and

STATESMEN RESTING.
Slim Attendance Of Senators and
Representatives Yesterday.
ELECTION BILL EXPIRING
The Trouble Is that Members of tho
House who Want Such u Dill arc
against Senate Amend mcnts,
Which Sounds Odd.

| WAsHlSGTcN, Dec. 26.-The Lolidn,
season has afflicted the Senate heavil,
in tho matter OF attendance, and bu
seven Senators put in an appearance n,
tho north wing OF tho Capitol to-day. l,
was understood when the Senate ad'
journed Wednesday that its session TO-
morrow will be purely formal, aud, in
fact, it was ordered only to escape tho
constitutional inhibition against an ad.
journment OF over three days. So moth.
ing can be done until Monday, aud then
the Elections bill will be taken up again.
There is to be no cloture, no finances,
no anything for the whole week to ere.
ato Il diversion from tho dreary debate
on the Elections bill. A Republican
Senator, Il strong champion Of the bill,
BAiJ:
"Wo will 90 on talking about the bill
next week and many speeches will be
delivered 10 vacant seats and empty gal.
leries. We can't help 1t, you See, iortho
proceedings tho other night, when Hoar
tried to drive the Democrats into night
session, was proof conclusive that we
could not muster in force during the
holiday season. But ! believe that
about January G We shall have fight.
Ing quorum. gnd then you may look for
diyersion."
The Senator WAS asked il q majority
could be secured for the clolure resolu-
tlon.. lie replied that Senator Aldrich,
who hGd it in charge, had been instruct
ed TO canvass the Republican eide Of the
Senate before putting in the new rule.
Senator Aldrich was cool beaded man,
and twas not presumed that he would
enter 60 great n struggle Us this prom.
ised to be without SOME sort OF assurance
OF sufficient power behind him TO win
the victory.
OUTLOOK IN THE HOUSE.
Asergeant could barely secure enough
membera who were present in the
House this morning to constitute
skirmishins squad. Here and there G
few gentlemen would gather in aeroup,
and III desultory manner talk over the
buslnees now pending in the two
houses. The concenaus Of opinion, es.
pecially in the Democratic side, was
that the debate On the shipping bill
would be prolonged 10 a much greater
extent thsn hsd been expected, many
representatives on both sides OF the
House having signitied their desire 10
deliver speeches upon that measure.
OF course Representatives are in the
dark :s to tue action Of the Senate Oh
the cloture, tho financial measure and
the Elections bill. Tha. the first will be
adopted is considered as doubtful. As
to the second, the feeling on the Repub.
lican side is that no fnaucial bill can
pasa the House that is not purely Re.
publican measure, one that is sgreed
upon il pa:ty caucus and one that is no,
pnt through the Senate with the aid OF
Democratic votes. That the prospects
OF the Elections bill are not very bright,
unless the pending debate is brought to
Il speedy end, is admitted by all, pros.

again. The Board OF Pnblic Works did
good work in cleaning off crossings,
The suspension bridge WIS cleaned of
bya large force OF men, who put in
nearly 4 full day at it.
In some parts OF tho city there has
been general neglect to comply with
the rules Of the Board OF Public Works
and the ordinance requiring the owners
and occupants Of property facing on
streets to clear the sidewalks OF snow.
a number OF the churches seem to
imagine that the rule does not apply to
them, and the snow is packing on the
bricks in front OF them, which ineures
execrable pavements in case there is q
thaw followed by freeze.
The Chief OF Police has had his dep,,.
ties notify the occupants oi property on
their beats to clean up, but the snow
still lies in many places. This ordinance
should be strictly enforced, for the non.
enforcement OF it makes pedestrianisu
absolutely dangerous.
The snow was 30 thick that street car
traffic was impossible until late in thu
evening. The anow plow and men with
shovels were kept at work and about
dark the cars ran ut long intervals.
