THE CONTINENT AGAINST THE WORLD,

Ono OF the Objects OF tho American
ConErcss Likely to be cconpiished.
Complete Reciprocity.
WASHINGTON, March o7.-The posi-.
bility Of getting great benefit from the
pan-American Congress has come to
focus. An intimation was received
few days ago by Mr.. Charles Flint, the
representative of this country from New
York, from representatives of the South
American countries that their countries
might be willing to give complete recip-
rocity in everything, provided this coun-
try would do the same. MI. Flint was
in consultation with Secretary Blaine
upon the matter and upon the
expression Of his (Flints) desire
that Mr.. 4. Jefferson Coolidge, of
Massachusetts, might be Joined with him
in the negotiations. These two Repre-
sentatives Of the United States in the
Congress were made subcommittee to
couduct the negotiations to put the mat.
ter in shape for further presentation to
Congress. The whole situation was
taiheA ofel VIII uts DlulQe, ana The
outcome OF it was that the representa-
tives OF this country were authorized in
the name Of the Secretary Of State, and
with his approval Of the scheme, to
make proposition Of absolute reci.
procity between the United States AMI
the Southern American countries. The
reciprocity proposed is without exten.
sion, and the adoption Of the plan would
bring about absolute free trade in every
article OF commerce between the United
States and the South American coun.
tries. There Is also involved in the plan
rs al essential part Of it, the adoption Of
articles Of agreement for arbitration IN
cases Of international disputes.
This agreement would apply to South
American countries in their relations
with each other. as we'll as in their re-
lations with the United States.
The scheme, in its two parts, is re.
garded as Of immense consequence to all
the countries concerned. It was on

BALTIMORE, March 27.-The hypothc
cation OF tho sinking fund bonds b,
State Treasurer Archer Is the one theme
Of conversation to-day. From what II
said on all sides, Mr.. Archer seems to be
tho very last man that would be sus.
pected OF wrone.doing.
The Mechanics Bank OF this city,
which 1t was said in Annapolis dis.
patches last night was tho holder OF con.
adorable Archer paper, refuses to talk
further than to Say that 1t Is amply pro.
tected by the deposit ofcoupon bonds for
MI loans to State Treasurer Archer.
Mr.. Archer was first elected treasurer
in 1856. In 1857 he succeeded Senator
Arthur p. Gormau, who resigned as
Chairman OF tho Democratic State Cen.
tral Committee, and In each political
campaign since that year he has taken a
prominent part. His, salary Ms State
Treasurer was s. ,50Oa year. Mr.. Archer
is also an ex.Congressman, having been
lirst elected in 1866. He served four
terms consecutively.
A tolerably well authenticated state.
ment has been circulated that Mr..
Archer recently told close friends OF his
troubles and that they were go serious
that the needed help could not be given.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS TO LIE Ae.
COUNTED For.
Eight thousand dollars Of State securi.
lies have been found 50 far to have been
pledged by Treasurer Archer for lis
private account. There should be in
his possession to the credit OF the State
over six hundred Thousand dollars OF
securities. These arc to be searched ou,
and their whereabouts ascertained. A
joint committee OF the Senate and House
Of Delegates have been appointed to in.
vestigate Atcher's accounts. The mat.
ter is at standstill until this committee
begins It's investigation. The amount is
to be large. There is great re-
,ret over the revelations.
No one is allowed to see Archer other
han his wife and daughter and the at
ending physician. The lastnamed says
hat Mr.. Archer is threatened with con-
,es,ion OF tho brain, the result OF pro.
.racted overwork aud worry, but that 4
atal termination may be averted by rest |
