Southern Trade Relations.

WASHINGTON. Dec. IG.-President
Harrison today sent to the senate a letter
from the secretary of state enclosing a
copy Of the first annual report of Director
Curtis Of the bureau of American repub-
lies. 1t says the immense lumber of ap.
plicatiOns received for information about
the American countries give ample evil
dence of awakened interest in the COM
merce and conditions of neighhoring coun-
tries that is encouraging to those endeav-
orlng to promote the social and CONNER
clal relations of the American republics.
The report refers to the rapidly increasing
export trade to the Central and South
American republics and saws many United
States manufacturers who never attempted
to sell merchandise IN the Southern cont
nent are now sending agents into those
markets to introduce their goods. The
merchants of Mexico and Central and
South America who heretofore purchased
in Europe exclusively are now coming to
the United States, and invariably discover
that they can find here nearly every arti-
Gle they need. Of better quality and at no
greater cost. The recently negotiated re-
tlpIOciS dIIduReu1tutS. IL IL Sdlu. also al
fords them opportunities that are begin
ming to be understood and appreciated.
The invitation extended to the southern
countries to participate in the Worlds
fair have been cordially accepted by every
republic aud colony, and appropriations
made to pay the expenses OF representation
that exceed in the aggregate 50, 900, 600
More than has been provided for the
same purpose by the states OF the United
States, with the state of Illinois excepted
Companies operating lines of steamships
between the United States and Latin.
America Joined heartily in the enterprise
and made generous concessions. The
bureau has been enabled to prepare for
exhibition at Chicago a historical collec.
ton illustrating the discovery. conquest
and settlement of Latin America and sub
sequent periods.
1t is proposed to prepare for ex.
position a commercial exhibit illustrating
various classes of merchandise best
adapted to the wants and most acceptable
to the tastes of in Mexico.
Central and South America and the West
Indies. This exhibit. it is proposed, at
close of exposition to be permanently
established either in Washington or New
York.

defend their interests who had committed
no act involving a breach of the peace or

The Lottery Campaign Wakes
Warm in Louisiana.
Both Pros and Cons Claim the
Coming Victory.
The Great Contest Has Opened
Up in Earnest.

BATON ROUGE, La, Dec. l9-The
Democratic convention was announced to
meet here today, but when the time came
two distIct bodies assembled, this being
the result OF a fight over the lottery ques-
ton. Last night the McEnery men held a
caucus as did also the Adams people and
appointed conference committees. On
behalf of the Adams men a com nittee de
manded that all frivolous contests be dis
missed; all discussions as TO the submis-
sIon OF the lottery amendment to the
white primaries be abandoned; that the
convention place in its platform an anti
lottery plank and hat the proper assur-
ance be given for the faithful carrying out
Of its provisions.
The McEnery committee replied that
its caucus was COMPOSED Of both pro and
antl-lottery men, who had come alike In
structed to submit the question to the
white primaries. They would not aban
don their position If they did il would
mean to the world that they were simply
officeseekers. To-Day, when the state
committee met, Chairman LanIer was not
present and the committee deposed him,
e~lecting Gov. Wickliife chairman.
The committee then proceeded 10
perfect arrangements for the nominating
convention and the anti-lottery men, With
Lanier at their head. held a similar meet
ing. All efforts to heal the breach failed
and at noon-the two conventions, each
claiming to represent the Democracy Of
the state, assembled. Nothing beyond a
routine organization was accomplished by
either body. except the appointment Of a
committee by the McEnerv people to
confer with the opposition.
The ti-McEnerys had an internal
trouble of their own a number of the
members desiring to abrogate the Lafay-
cite agreement and bring about a romi
nation on a new ticket, in which the
farmers we're to have a part but not the
leadership. The farmers refused to bulge
an inch, insisting upOn the terms OF the
agreement and I. S. Adams for governor
1t is thought the convention will carr,
out the agreement, as a refusal woul
result in another division aud a straight
out farmers ticket.

CHICAGO, Dec. l6.-Today brought
only faint clews to the perpetrators of last
night sensational mail robbery. The
booty is now estimated at $1,000. An
interesting statement was made by a
woman who was awake in a house on the
corner of the alley where the robbery was
committed. She says she saw the mail
wagon turn into the alley, but saw
no robbers. An inference is that Driver
Creighton went into the alley of his own
accord. The police accept this as evidence
that Creighton was not altogether
ignorant Of the ambush.
