HUMoRs OF fne coNaResA
Many Languages Spoken In the Great IresA
national Trades Gathering.

Philadelphia. Oct S1.-The 1nterna-
tional Commercial Congress, whose
sessions are held in connection with
the National Export exposition. af-
fords an interesting study. Though the
assemblage Is comparatively small, the
subjects under discussion are as varied
and of such world wide importance
that the listener is at once impressed
with the importance of the occasion
and the almost solemnity of the scene
There is an air of dignity in the sos
sions-that is. there is a vein of inn
portance running through the delibera-
tons, though at times the sessions may
be stormy, of an excitable nature or
even humorous.
No iron clad rule was established as
TO the language to be used by this fam
Gus gathering, but II was generally un-
derstood that English would be pre-
ferred. This is contrary to the usage
followed at most International gather
ings, French being the language OF
diplomacy and courtesy. But. as a
British delegate remarked, English Is
the language OF business
And SO it is that the sessions of this
great congress have been carried on in
the Saxon tongue. The Hindoo dele
gate has presented his ideas In that
language; the German envoy has told
his desires in English; the Frenchman
argued tariff changes in tongue he
did not know, and the Spaniard. the
last of all men to attempt English, has
reached the realms Of poetry and elo-
quence in words that must have sound
ed strangely to himself This refers,
of course, to the prepared speeches an I
papers, prepared days and weeks, o
maybe months, in advance of the OPEN
ing session.
The fun came-to those who were
spectators, and not the participants
when some questions came up for dis
cussion that was not on the regular
program. Take. as an instance, the
subject of an Isthmian canal. In which
all the world, and as a consequence all
the delegates, are interested. The
American advocate of a Panama or a
Nicaraguan route presented his case.
He said something a Nicaragua De-
agate did not agree with. and the lat
ter, In rapid and beautiful, but forceful
Spanish, replied The French dele-
gate did not understand English, but
the Spanish argument gave him a cue,
and in his own tongue, or that OF Cas-
tile, he joined in the discussion. Then
the German delegate from Samoa, who
could neither speak English nor Span
ish. but knew French, laid his view be-
fore the ccngre3s. These we're trying
times for the chairman, who perhaps
w2s not acquainted with all modern
languages. and his position was In
many instances anything but enviable.
The deliberations of the congress
were carried on in accordance with
parliamentary rules. and at times re-
called the sessions of the United States
senate or the upper body Of the more
dignified state legislatures.

RICHNESS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Extension of Foreign Trade Assured Under
American Enterprise.

American Enterprise
Philadelphia, Oct. 31.-A great deal
of information of value respecting for
eign countries was impaired through
the medium of the International Com
mercial Congress at the National Ex
- port exposition. Graphic word pictures
.faf nations great and small were paint
s}ed by men direct from countries be-
fyond the seas, and not a little was said
about the Philippines. Interesting in
this line was the statement of John
Barrett, United States minister to
Siam, who during the course of a
speech said:
"Of the Philippines l can say that,
after travelling extensively through
them, they are the richest country, in
proportion to area, in all Asia Under
American enterprise this foreign trade
of $32,000,0 0e should be extended in
ten years to 800, 1000, 900 or $3.50, 900 600
All foreign houses doing business in
Manila are preparing to increase their
capital and enlarge operations. With
great staple products of hemp, sugar,
tobacco, copra, rice, together with cof-
fee, spices, fruits, grains and valuable
woods as we'll as mineral resources
of considerable value developed to
their present extent under the depress
ing and retarding conditions of former
years, it is difficult to state what limit
can be placed on their development
with American capital and industry
The people, moreover, take kindly to
foreign products, and will buy in in
creased quantity and value as they are
given greater opportunity to sell their
own products. Railway construction
alone in the Philippines is needed,
which would involve the safe invest
ment of $50.000,000. At least 1900
miles should be built within the next
ten years." *

A Mysterious Transaction.

Button, button, who's got the buttoni" was the game played with a sandhill crane at the railroad ol- fees Saturday afternoon. MT. Wragovitch of the auditing depart
 ment, is a mighty nimrOd and while chasing ducks on the Verde river ran across what was to him an un- known bird. Careful inspection sat is6ed him that 1t was one of those rare creatures "a Verde turkey-and be gave chase, finally capturing it. With his accustomed consideration for others, be presented it to Mir
 Smith, the chief clerk, who, properly appreciatiBg the gift. carefully locked it in his desk. Fired by the desire to have their particular board IDg house at the head of the list for up-to-daie catering, other mem bers of the auditing department abstract ed the bird. and passing its from hsnd to hand finally succeeded in landing il in the kitchen, with the request that 1t be giveI special place on the Sunday bill of fare. At last accounts Mir. Smith had sworn out several search warrants, in the en- deavor to keep a dinner engagement with friends whom he had iLI iled to partake of the delicacy. IL is but fair to Mir. Wragoyitch to say that ne stOutly denies participation in the theft, and be positively refuses 10 shoot any more Verde turkeys.
