BENEFIT TO TRADE.
The International Commercial Con-
Gress in PhiIndelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, October 3O.-The inter-
national commercial congress, which has
been in session here since October y, to-
day entered upon the final week of its
work. The congress will close on Wednes-
day. TodayS session was devoted first to
papers ON European trade, and later in the
day there was an informal discussion on
the subject of trade marks.
Representative Irving P. Wanger of Penn
sylvania presided over today's deliberations.
Carlos Yensen delegate from Bilbao, Spain,
was the first speaker. He spoke of the IA
nous iron ores which came from the sec
ton of Spain which he represented, much
of which found it's way to Philadelphia,
Baltimore and New York
He thought that, if the United States
possessed greater shipping facilities, her
trade with Spain. and especially with Bill
bao. would be greatly enlarged.
Pietro TaDpari of Florence, Italy, in dis
cussing the question of tariff, said:
Without wishing to enter into the dis
cussion of the merits of protective tariff in
general l will only say that it has by this
time been we'll proven by experience that
prohlb1tiVe duties are sometimes as in
furious to the country which imposes them
as the country against which they are i'm
posed, and this is exactly the case with
your Dingley tariff, which, having very
high duties on some Italian products, has
caused as much damage to American in
teIests as to the Italian interests"
j. c. Monaghan, United States consul at
Chemnitz. Germany, the next speaker, said
in part:
The fact that almost every foreign dele
gate has made objection to our tariff will
be splendid argument to present to the
greater part of the American people in
favor of keeping our restrictive duties
1t Is only century since England was
one of the strongest. if not the strongest,
protective countries in the world. 1t i'm
posed not only heavy import duties, but
stringent export duties as well. Now, as
is well known, England Is the greatest ex-
ponent of free trade. Nations and condi-
tons have changed. Every new country
will have to go through more or less SINH
lar experience to the ones we have gone
through"

NEW TREATY WITH SPAIN.
Negotiations VIII Probably Soon Be
Opened.

It is expected that negotiations will be
opened soon at Madrid for new treaty of
commerce between the United States and
Spain This will be the final step toward
completely restoring the friendly relations
between the two countries.
The war with Spain swept the old treaty
out Of existence. and the only International
agreement now in existence is the peace
treaty, which is confined to the events
growing out Of the war, and has no refer
ence to commerce. navigation, extradition
and other manifold relations between ma
tions in times of peace.
The coming negotiations will be for the
purpose Of forming such treaty of COM
rerce, amity and friendship.
It had been thought that the Duke de
ARGOS would conduct these negotiations
with the State Department here, but the
minister is rather relieved at the under
standing that the work will be carried on
az Madrid The United States minister
there. Mr. Bellamy Storer, will act for the
[ nited States

But Few Callers at the Executive
Mansion Today.
CONFIDENCE IN THE OHIO ELECTION
Civil Governors to Be Appointed
in Cuba and Porto Rico.
TIL E RICHMOND TRIP

Prof. Dean c. Worcester of the Philip
pine commission called at the White House
this morning for talk with the President,
but as the latter had prepared to attend
the funeral services of General Henry at
st. Johns Church he arranged to have a
long talk with Prof. Worcester at another
time.
The President left the White House with
Secretary Root for st. Johns and both re-
turned there. About half an hour later
they left for Arlington to attend the in
terment of the remains of General Henry.
Ihere were only a few callers at the
White House during the morning. General
Lee called early to pay his respects. He
has been invited to accompany the Prest-
dent to Richmond tomorrow, and on the
way down will give his views of Cuba to
the chief executive
Secretary Long called for a short time,
but did not have any important business
TO transact, he said.
Civil Governors to Be Appointed.
So soon as the censuses of Cuba and Por-
to Rico have been completed and reports
made to the President, civil governors for
the two islands will be appointed by the
chief executive. The delay in making the
appointments has been for the purpose of
allowing the censuses to be completed.
The President, 1t rs said by cabinet MEM
bers, desires to establish partial civil gov
eminent In the islands as early as possible,
that the permanent form may soon after be
established. In accordance with his views
the President is casting around for suitable
men for governors, and is said to have Sc
lected the man he wants in Porto Rico.
Confidence in Ohio.
President Mckinley is taking increased
interest in the Ohio election as the time
draws nearer. At the last cabinet meeting,
and to various callers since, the President
expressed the most absolute confidence in
OHIO giving a large republican majority
He is so certain of this that he has said to
cabinet members that he believes Ohio will
show a republican plurality of probably as
much as 10000. This Is considerably above
the usual expectation, but the President is
believed to have the wisest judgment and
best opinions possible from the leaders of
the campaign.
The Trip to Richmond.
President Mckinley and party will leave
here at s o'clock tomorrow morning for
Richmond Va, to take part in the celebra-
ton attending the launching of the torpedo
boat Shubrick. The special train will leave
the Pennsylvania railroad station. The
train will consist of two special cars and a
dining car.
Returning to Washington, the train will
leave Richmond at 40 o'clock tomorrow
evening and reach here at 1895 pm.
In addition to President and Mrs. McKin-
ley the party will consist of Secretaries
Hay. Gage, Root, Long, Hitchcock and
Wilson, Secretary John Addison Porter, AS
sistant Secretary Cortelyou, Mrs. Gage
Mrs. Hitchcock and two daughters, Miss
Wilson and Mrs. Porter.
