FCable Letter, Copyrighted, 1893, by
the Associated Press. 1.-The lnterna-
tional Geographical congress, which
closed this evening, developed nothing
original save the propositions for
Arctic explorations. The American del
egates to the congress, generally
speaking, are satisfied with the de-
cision to meet in Berlin 1886, instead
of Washington. General \. W. Greeley
was grievously disappointed and at
tributed the decision of the congress
entirely to the attitude of Judge
Charles p, DAILY. president of the
American Geographical society.
General Greeley sad to represen-
tative of The Associated Press: The
reason the International GeogI phicaI
congress did not go 10 America for
next year was on account of Judge
DAILY. who is one OF the members of
the committee appointed to make the
arrangements for 1896. At a meeting,
according to General Greeley, Judge
DAILY stated that America was not
ready foI an in International geographic
cal congress. The judge. ii appears.
claimed ii would be too hot in Wash
ington, although it was not proposed
to hold the congress until late in Sep
TENDER.
4 am an American and wanted the
congress to meet in the United States,
Several of the German members of the
committee, who have spoken to me on
the subject express wonder at Judge
Days course.
Il think the present congress work
viii do much to cement good feelings
between the two countries. Ii is inter
~Sstlng to note the growing respect for
AinOtitir oneSfionS considered from
an American standpoint.
General Greeleys views of Judge
Days course We're not shared, how
ever, by his colleagues who were ap-
parently in favor of the decision to
hold the next meeting of the congress
in Berlin. Mr.. Paul Duchailiau said:
We are not ready for the congress
Better wait until 1897, when the con
gress viii probably come to America
In the meantime the most elaborate
( arrangements are necessary. I con-
fS5ider that JUDGE DAILY acted Wiselv'
Mr.. ". w ROckhill. of tie state de-
ItartmeDt at Washington, endorses the
views Of Mr.. Ldchaillau on the sub
iect.
