Ex-Congressman w. J. Coombs president OF the

turned home yesterday after a short trip to Wash

He j. deeply interested in the project outlined in
the bill presented in Congress on Monday by Con-
gresham Mccormick. authorizing the establishment
OF iree port at Fort Pond Bay on the eastern end
OF Long Island
This is one Of the favorite projects of Austin Cor

radical changes in New-York's commercial affairs
MI Noombs. by reason of his position as president
OF the Manufacturers Trust Company and his recent
term IN Congress, is well Informed on the subject.
He said yesterday to Tribune reporter: 81 have not
examined the b. introduced by Governor Nj

cafe in London, and there was great
activity in presenting the new drink
and giving the virtues of coffee to that
city France adopted the use of the
berry ten years after England; Italy
claims the honor of having discovered
its merits prior to France, and it is
said that an Italian brought coffee to
Marseilles in 1914.
The first 'coffeehouse was opened in
Paris twenty-five years later, during
the reign of Louis XIV.
1t is said the invention of news
papers, or gazettes, is due to the in
PRODUCTION of coffee into France. From
the gossip of individuals gathered in
the cafes over the cups of coffee, there
was but short step to the rude print
ing press, with it's sheets of enlarged
gossip, and the idea of such a sheet is
said to have entered the brain of some
genius as he was imbibing the coffee
at that time.
Coffee was introduced in the early
years of the seventeenth century into
the islands of the sea, the West Indies
Martinique, Santo Domingo, Guade-
lOupe, the island of Reunion, into
almost all of those parts of America
in which it could be produced, and in
1748 Don Juan Antonio GeIabert in
troduced it into Cuba. 1t was intro
duced into Mexico from the West
Indies toward the end of the seven
teenth century, cultivated first at or
near Cordoba, now on the Mexican and
Veracruz Railroad. 200 miles from the
City of Mexico and so miles from
Veracruz, at an elevation of $500 feet
above sea level, and situated in the
midst Of the most productive tropical
region of this w0ndrous country, now
commanding the attention of the
world to greater extent than it has
ever done before. 1t is of this special
section of Mexico that Prescott thus
speaks in his Conquest of Mexico:
During the first day, COrtes's road
lay through the "Tierra caliente,' the
beautiful land where they had been.
so long lingering; the land of the
vanilla, cochineal, cacaO, then after
wards OF the orange, the sugar cane,
and contemporaries which, indigo
nous to Mexico, have now become the
luXuries of Europe, the land where
the fruits and the flowers chase one
another in unbroken circle through
the year; where the gales are loaded
with perfume till the senses ache at
their sweetness, and the groves are
filled with many cOlored birds and in
sects, whose enameled wings glisten
like diamonds in the bright sun of the
tropics. Such are the magical SPLEEN
doris of this paradise of the senses
Here is one of the spots in this yet
undeveloped Republic where some of
the finest coffee known to the human
appetite is grown and prepared for the
markets of the world
As this part of Mexico is the birth
place Ct coffee in Mexico, and, L might
almost say, any other part of the North
American continen or its contiguous
islands, I have taken the liberty of
giving it a more special notice and de-
scription. 1t is today the richest and
most beautiful spot in Mexico. with
Jalapa, Orizaba. and Cordoba rising
from their emerald hills in ali their
beauty and freshness. No one has seen
Mexico III ali of its splendor until he
has visited this enchanting spot.
