Conclusion of the Work of tho Pam
American Delegates.

WASHINGTON, April 10. The last days
session of the International American
Conference developed differences that at
one time seemed likely 10 block the way
to O conclusion. The subject was the
report of the committee on general wei
fare, recommending the nations of
Europe to adopt the policy of arbitration.
As the controversy now existing between
England and Venezuela over the posses
sion OF gold lands in Guayana was in
volved, q serious snag was encountered.
Secretary Blaine, who had been absent,
came in during the discussion and
smoothed over the matter by asking for a
20 join him In a conference.
In half an hour the comforting MEM
bers returned aud Mr.. Blaine said the ob-
jsctions to the report had been removed.
He then proceeded to read the amended
xeport, which was as follows:
First. That the principle Of conquest
shall not, during the continuance OF the
treaty of arbitration, be Recognized as
admissible uader American public law.
Second. That all sessions of territory
made during the continla1o OF the
treaty OF arbitration shall be void IL made
un6er threats of Was or the presence of
On armed force.
Third. any nation from which such ses.
sions shall be exacted may demand that
the validity of the cessions made shall be
submitted to arbitration.
Fourth. Any Remuneration OF the right
TO arbitration made under the conditions
named in the second acotion shall be null
and void.
Those conditions are under threats Of
var Or the presence Ct 90 armed tctca.
The Blaine szbstityts was put and clr-
ried with aoclsmation aud cheers, cave
from Chill, which did np- vote.
Tho vital business OF the conference
WIS thus ended. The work was done.
DIR. Martinez Silva, OF Columbia, had.
however, proposition to pressat. rs
provisions ere that Latin-AmericAn
library shall be founded in the city CT
Washington with contributions from the

which prevailed without dissent.

The young Postmaster of an Eastern
village was hard at work in his office
when gentle tap was heard upon the
door and in stepped blushing maiden Of
sixteen, with money order which she
desired cashed She handed it. with q
bashful smile, to the official, who, after
closely examining it, gave her the money
it called for At the same time he asked
her if she had read what was written on
the margin of the order.
"No, | have not, she replied, "for
cannot make it out. Will you please
read it for me-"
The young Postmaster read as follows

Glanciug at the bashful girl. he said
"Now, | have paid you the money sup
pose you want the kissest"
I eyes" she said, 'ff he sent me any

It is hardly necessary to say that the
balance of the order was promptly psic
and 10 q scientific manner.
On reaching home thedelighted nader
remarked to her mother:

Washington city reports 1.-THE price OF

large consumers like Wizards Hotel get

can be purchased for forty cents per 100"
Up TO three days ago Charleston had en-
loved the proud distinction Of selling ice
cheaper than any other southern city.
1.-THE low prices were due 20 continued
fight between artificial-ice manufacturers

Monday last was the same as last year
forty cents hundred pounds for manu-
featured and fifty cents a hundred for lake
or natural ice. By compromise between
dealers the price has been advanced TO
eeventv-Gve and eighty cents hundred,
or 81 TO - per ton. At the forty-cent
rate the natural-ice men said they were
losing money, but they had to keep up
with the procession. One refractory OF
small capacity 10 now IN operation, ana
another Of seventy-two tons capacity daily
will be in operation III a week or two"
Savannah reports that " artificial ice
has driven the natural article entirely
ont of the market. 1t retails from two
ifths 10 three quarters of cent per
pound. Many families combine and buy
lOO-pound blocks for sixty cents. There
are three ice-factories here, but more are
needed"
All Of which goes to show that in the
South, at least, if our people would secure
ice at low rates they must build lce-fac-
tories.
Until very recently small consumers IN
Richmond have been paying one ana a half
cents per pound for ice. They are now
having ono cent. Unless the Word has
omitted TO get the returns from cities
where high prices prevail Richmond IS I'M
duly taxed for ice.
The way to attract population is to offer
steady employment at reasonable wages.
Then give to our working people low
rents, cheap gas and water, and provisions
at moderate prices. If we fail to meet
these positive demands of competition We
cannot obtain permanent success. Ice IS
nowadays not luxury but necessity
We all recognize this. II ought TO be
abundant IN quantity; it should be sold
az a reasonable margin Of profit.
According to the World the Washington
market men are in high Glee over the sue
cess Of the New York Ice and Cold-Storage
Company III providing them with q steady
current Of cold air for their ce-houses and
chests. Butchers are thus furnished
at a rate of one and a half cents per day
for every square foot OF floor space, while
poultry-dealers pay two cents square
foot. This is saving of at least 90 per
cent. the year round. for where an ice
house requires one ton of ice costing $40
delivered the cold-air method produces a
better temperature for 81. The contracts
are for one year. which reduces the per-
centage of saving. as during the winter
months ice is cheaper. Pipes exposed to
the open air were yesterday covered with
ice over half an inch thick, and several
of the poultry-men exhibited chickens,
turkeys. and ducks that were frozen solid
in their chests, necessltating the use OF
Ratchet to release them"

TO me Editor Of he DlSDdict:
As the Dispatch seems 20 be the authority
TO which all such mootcd questions are re-
ferred, can you give Us the origin OF the term
blue blood" as an accompaniment and
intrinsic quality OF high birth! We read,
for instance, Of "blue-blooded aristoracy,"
&c., &c. Whence the origin
Respectfully. A. b.
lin proportion to physical refinement the
veins as a rule are more or less clearly APP
parent on the surface Of the body-on the
back Of the hand, for example, and their
color is a purplish blue. The white
handed" gentry are thus apt to be more
blue blooded" than those who have had
TO labor with their hands or whose fathers
have had to do so before them. This dis
tinction of manual labor and non-labor
was about the only one between aristoc-
racy and plcbeianism in certain OF the
earlier ages. and hence the origin of blue
blood" in a general way. There Is more
direct origin Of the phrase, however from
among the mobiles of Spain, who claim that
their blood really is bluer than that OF
their more plebeian fellow-countrymen-
that theirs, in other words, has a distinct
blue tinge, while that of the commonalty
is rather of black hue.l

Last week the wholesale companies, VINO

wagon-deslors. demanded $40 and ci2 per
ton. Now they are content with -. Inc
change has been wrought by the sudden
influx of Lake George and Lake Champlain
ice, which being thin and porous had to
be sold quickly, or it would prove a dead
lose. This lake-ice went for SO OF - ton
and as heavy shipments are on the way to
the market it will probably go 81 before
the tide Of supply can be checked
II Is estimated that during hot weather
the New York. Brooklyn, and Jersey City
market requires from $1,000 TO 10000 tons
per day. The present cut IN prices there
fore represents fall of $4,000 to 80, 900 q

A Beloved Citizen Dead.

The bar and the general community lose
useful and beloved member in the death
of Colonel JOIN II. GUY. To calm Juds-
ment and serene temper he united abilities
that placed him among the very foremost
lawyers of Virginia. TO kind and gone
rous heart be Joined firmness and courage
Of conviction. As a soldier he was modest
and brave; as a legislator he was devoted
to duty, and while decided in his opinions
was ever open to reasonable argument.
His professional life was beautiful. for
he was kind to the young men. respectful
to his elders, and defcrential TO the courts.
He died as he would have wished-in
harness. For twelve years he had strug-
gled against bodily infrmity with fortl-
tude rarely equalled. IN the midst OF
great case, after his work was done and
well done, death laid It's fingers upon him.
His illness was brief and his mind un-
clouded almost to the last
A brilliant light has gone out IN this
world. but it has illumined the path OF
many people. and who can doubt that on
the distant shore il shines in glory?

was no one In Authority at hand to tell
him 80.
Az far az we have bceninformed the emu
merators here have done their duty. We
have heard Of no complaint, except that
some of them have not asked questions
searching enough 10 elicit all tho informa-
ton needed. For instance, hundreds OF
house-owners here rent their kitchens TO
colored people. II has sometimes hap
pened that the lady of tho house consid-
cred her duty done when she gave TO the
enumerator information about her own
family.
A well-directed question would have
brought out the fact that half dozen CO.
lored people had homes in the yard.
Now that the enumeration Is about to be
brought to Sclose the question arises, How
are omitted people TO be enrolled'
just here we ask the help Of Mr. YoUNo.
The plan he proposes is not the best one.
People generally aro uniformed about the
boundaries OF tho census districts. ana DO
not know where the enumerators are TO be
found.
We should have central depot OF infor-
nation.
How would it do for persons who sup
pose or know that they have been omitted
from the lists 20 report 10 the police' Inc
police could report to Mr.. YoUNG or his
representative here. and then the books
could DO consulted TO determine II the
complainants had been really missed.
We have no reason to suppose that the
grand total of Richmond is going to be
disappointing. According to the registra-
tion-books, poll-tax list, and city directory
we have 81, 900 people here, and probably
the census will show it. But TO assure TINS
we should help Mr.. YoUNG and he should
aid us to make the enumeration complete
az possible perfection il not expected
but we should seek to approach it as nearly
as may lac
