When the final vote was taken last FRIDAY
the advocates for the fifteen per cent

| was vigorously opposed by the delegates
from the countries which derive revenue
from mails in transit between countries.
The leaders in the opposition were the
delegates from Great Britain, Belgium ami
Portugal. Before the question was put to
vote in the general session Of the con-
gress one Of the delegates from Great Brit
ain announced that he would challenge the
votes OF tie delegates from Brazil and
Bolivia on the ground that their credentials
were not complete and competent.
These delegates stated that though their
credentials were not in their possession
vet the Government of the United States
had been notified by the postal depart
ments of Brazil and BOLIVIA that they were
empowered to represent them in the con
gress This explanation was satisfactory
to the British delegates and the objection
was Withdrawn. The Southern delegates
stated. though. thatif there should be any
objection to their voting, they would
refrain from doing so. Cries OF Let
them vote came from all parts of the
congress, and it was moved that the dele
gates from Brazil and Bolivia be per
nitted to vote. The question was put
and the only delegate To register his vote
against the motion was the representative
of Portugal, who IS also the minister from
Portugal to the United States.
