AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
First Annual Report of the Bureau at
Washinnfnn.

Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--President Har-
rison today sent to the senate letter
from the secretary of state, enclosing a
copy of the first annual report of Di.
rector Curtis OF the bureau of American
republics. 1t says the immense number
OF applications received for information
about the North American countries
give evidence of awakened interest in
the commerce and condition of the
neighboring countries, that is encourag
ing to those endeavoring to promote the
social and commercial relations of the
American republics.
The report refers to the rapidly in
creasing export trade to the Central and
South American republics, and says
many United States manufacturers, who
never attempted to sell merchandise in
the southern continent, are sending
agents into those markets to introduce
their goods. Merchants hitherto buying
in Europe exclusively are now coming
to the United States, and invariably
discover that they can find nearly every
article they need here, OF better quality
and at no greater cost.
The recently negotiated reciprocity
arrangements, it is said, also afford
them opportunities that are beginning
to be understood and appreciated.
The report refers to the work un-
dertaken by the bureau of interesting
the governments and people of Latin
America in the worlds fair. The invita-
ton extended to them to participate
has been duly accepted by every re-
public and colony, and appropriations
have been made to pay the expenses OF
representation that exceed in the aggre-
gate 2,000 900 more than has been pro-
vided for the same purpose by the states
Of the United States, with the state of
Illinois excepted.
The companies operating lines OF
steamships between the United States
and Latin America have joined heartily
in the enterprise, and made generous
concessions.
The bureau has been enabled to pre-
pare, for exhibition at Chicago, an his
torical collection illustrating the discov-
erv, conquest and settlement of Latin
America, and the subsequent periods.
The report contains much information
OF interest. Among other things 1t Is
proposed to prepare for the exposition q
commercial exhibit illustrating the vari-
GUS classes of merchandise best adapted
to the wants and most acceptable to the
tastes of the consumers in Mexico, Cen
trail and South America and the West
Indies. This exhibit, it is proposed. at
the close of the exposition will be per-
manently established either in Wash
ington or New York.

CLARKSON AND CONGER.
Both Non-Committal to Blaine's
Candidacy in '92.

Candidacy in '92.
MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. 16.-Chairman
Clarkson, of the national republican
committee, and members of the commit
tee spent the day in looking over the
exposition building and consulting with
architects as to its remodeling to meet
the needs of the convention. Clarkson
said Blaine wassieeling better than he
had in many years. AS to whether
Blaine would run again, he declined to
be quoted. He thought the defeat of
Mills settled Cleveland's chances.
Colonel Conger, member the repub-
lican executive committee, in an inter
view today, speaking OF the convention
said:
''The committee proposes that the
whole field shall be looked over and the
strength of the various candidates care
fully considered. Then decision will
be made and the men will be named by
acclamation by the convention. There
will be no contest on the floor of the
convention. There will be no attempt
to put down public sentiment, but the
whole matter will be informally under
stood and acquiesced in by the delegates
before the convention gets down to
work. In regard to letter OF declina-
ton flom Blaine, do not believe there
is anything in it, There is no reason
why Blaine should write a letter now,
or until the nomination was rendered
him, and in that event, under the plan
the committee proposes to work, he GER
tainly could not decline. Neither could
Harrison or any other man who may be
selected -

The hearing in the contest over the
estate OF the late B. Cohn was resumed
before Judge Clark in department two,
of the superior court, yesterday.
The respondents continued to intro
duce testimony to impeach the wit
nesses for the contestant, and Miss Hen
rietta Meyers, the comely young woman
who was such strong witness for Del
fna, is coming in for lions share of
attention at the hands of the legal gen.
tlemen who are engaged in fighting the
contestant.
Miss Meyers, it will be remembered,
was on the stand when the case was be-
gun. She testified in a very positive man
ner on several very important points.
Among other things, she said she saw
the much-talkedof marriage contract,
which the contestant alleges was drawn
up and signed by the deceased. Miss
Meyers stated she was at Delfina's house
when the contract was made, and that
after it was signed one Of the parties to
the agreement exhibited it to her. She
also testified that she and Delina were
the best OF friends.
Since the respondents have had a
whack at the case there have been
number of witnesses who directly con-
tradict Miss Meyers. Several of these
witnesses accredit her with using
language regarding Deldna winch is un-
fit for publication, and the young lady
is said to have stated that she knows Of
persons whom Deltina should call hus-
band rather than Cohn.
She is said to have referred to A. J.
Domingo as one upon whom Deltina
might have a claim, and laughed at the
idea OF her claiming Cohn as her hus-
band. The language in which Miss
Meyers is said to have expressed her
self is not OF the kind which modest
person would use.
One OF the witnesses who has given
testimony that appears damaging is APP
POLAND Pena. She possessed a fund of
information about the case, and es
pecially about Miss Meyers's status with
the contestant and her conversations
regarding Delfna. The witness, Miss
Pena, is young Mexican woman. She
testified that she was invited to the res
idence of one Morano several days ago,
and while there signed paper which
was presented to her. A notary public
who was present took her acknowledge
ment. The counsel then introduced
paper in evidence which the witness
identified as the one she signed. 1t pur-
ports to be an affidavit in which Miss
Pena states that she knew nothing
about any conversations or remarks of
Henrietta Meyers concerning Delina.
Miss Pena swore she was induced to
affix her signature to the paper by rea-
son of threats that if she did not sign
she would likely 60 to the penitentiary.
She made her mark fearing dire conse-
uuences should she refuse.
Miss Pena also testified that Delfna
threatened her if she went on the stand
and testified against her. Witness at
tributed some vile language to the con-
testant.
The witness was subjected to an ex-
tremely rigid cross examination upon
every material point in her testimony.
The contestant claims that Miss Pena
has very little regard for truth, and her
statement that she signed the affidavit
by reason of being threatened they re-
gard as a creation of her own. The
hearing will be resumed this morning

n free Coinage Bill fretty Oertaih 10
Pass Congress.
New YORK, Dec. 16.-According to
the World it is pretty certain that bill
for the free coinage of silver in some
form will pass both hodse and senate at
the present session. The plan practic-
ally agreed upon by those who will con-
troll the matter in the house, says
Washington special to the World, is
briefly this:
To stop all purchases OF silver by the
government; to throw open the mints
to the free coinage of all silver to be
hereafter produced from American
mines, and to guard against the unload
ing of foreign silver upon us by system
of notification and inspection similar to
that devised for guarding sugar bounties.
The dispatch also states that Speaker
Crisp has fully decided to make Bland
chairman of the committee on coinage,
and that the majority of the members of
the committee will be advocates of free
silver.

IMPROVED FORECAST.
The Weather Bureau Going to Give a
Better Service.

WAsHINaToN, Dec. 16.-The depart
ment OF agriculture proposes to adopt an
improvement in the weather bureau
service. Predictions heretofore made
were made on observations at s a. m.,
and were made for twenty-four hours
from the time the observation was taken.
The proposed improvement consists in
having the predictions in each case cover
the time until midnight the next day.
When this takes effect, which will be on
the lst of January next, the predictions
printed in the morning papers will ap-
pear early in the day to which they APP
ply, while those in the evening papers
will be for the day after. The public
will be informed on the evening before
OF expected weather, and will be given
an improved forecast next morning, if
improvement is needed. BY this plan
the needs OF the public will be more fully
met.
