in the great hall Of the National Palace adjoining the
quarters of the department the treasury which being
practically rebuilt and viii be spendidy adorned before
the time for the congress
While this is going on, the preparatory work Of the
congress is being quietly Ali the delegates have
been formed into committees. of which has

Of these committees and great secrecy viii also be
tanned to the actual work OF the congress Except for
the opening and closing sessions which VIII be purely
formal save the delegates viii be admitted to the

that information to the progress Of the work viii
