| The Importance of Consular Service
| The executive committee will meet each
day at'2 o'clock and set the programme Cor
the following day. This is the best that
can be done, as various speakers will not
reach the city until the day on which they
are to make their addresses.
The Congress is made up on the fol-
or Territory may appoint ten delegates;
the mayor OF each city, one delegate, and
one additional delegate to each 5000 In
habitants, provided, however. that no city
shall have more than ten delegates; oach
county may appoint one delegate through
its executive officer, every business or
ganization one delegate, and an add
tional for every fifty members; provided,
however, that no such organization shall
have more than ten delegates. Governors
OF States and Territories, members of the
United States congress and ex-presldents
OF the Transmisstssip Congress, are ex-
ofhclo delegates with all privilege OF deie-
gates, except those OF voting.
1t is the universal desire OF the mem
bers of the executive committee To- con-
est, and to exclude those which are oil
either local or political nature. While
any question germane to the objects OF
the congress may be introduced by any
delegate, the following, suggested by the
executive committee, are regarded as most
important: Irrigation, rivers and harbors
Nicaragua canal Pacific cable. merchant
marine, St. Louis worlds fair, 1903; trade
with the orient consular service, State
hood, railroad transportation. preserva-
tlon OF forests, beet root sugar trade with
Mexico. advantages OF American travel
, exports and imports through gulf and Pa
cihc ports, need Of home factories, good
roads and drainage.
