OTHER COUNTRIES JEALOUS

Mexico City, November 15.-The toast the Mexican delegation at banquet in honor of the Pan-American delegates of other nationalities was noteworthy on ac- count of its friendliness toward the Uni ted States. He said:
 Without doubt you have come hither with the desire and aspiration of draw ing closer the bonds of American frater- nifty. of harmonizing reciprocal inter- ests and attaining through these prosper ity to all. And this makes us still prouder of our neighbor, for altogether, we of this hemisphere constitute a world. Our racial ideas are the same, the languages of Brazil and Hayt are least of the Latin stock; all of us have the same feel ings; the same way of thinking. the same aspirations and if the language is the living token of the independent life of the people, the common parentage of our speech ought to constitute a solidarity of autonomy. To the United States we are bound by similar institutions and a community of interests, but more inti- mately still by a historical bond that no man may unloose. The Republic of the north was astounding Europe by Its pro- gress, realized in less than centurys independent existence, and its industries and commerce, ever on the increase, had begun to awaken jealousy. But just at that moment the southern states rebelled with the aim of seeding from the Amer ican Union.
 Then Napoleon III conceived the idea which he characterized as the greatest of his reign. That idea was to invade Mexico to establish here an empire; to support the secessionist states in order thus to bring republican institutions into disrepute and to cause the dismember- ment of the great northern republic, which would have involved the curtail- ment of it's industries, its commerce and its power. The undertaking seemed easy; his instructions to Forey were simply to do 1t quickly and well.' If this Idea had succeeded it certainly would have been the greatest of his reign, but Mexico re- sisted heroically for more than four | years and the United States had an olympia wherein to put down the rebel | lion and assure it's national unity. As soon as it succeeded in doing that, it paid Napoleon in his own coin by insist ing on the withdrawal of his army: Juarez had saved his fatherland and had also by his resistance contributed in the sal Vat1On or the Afn6rlcdn ptOpie, diAu WO may say of the entire continent.
 s Rene Merito of America.
 "On that account he is saluted as the Rene Merito De America. as one who has deserved we'll of the Americas. We al- ready had the Monroe doctrine safe | guarded in the new world; the Diaz | doctrine constitutes it's complement and | the Diaz doctrine may be expressed in et.4 |, ha frfn a fnf1 o law of America Is founded on peace which in its turn depends on the respect | for the sovereignty, independence and | territorial integrity of each and all the republics of America. :"
 Jose Hyge no Duarte Pereiara, vice president of the congress and delegate from Brazil, made a speech in which he cordially appreciated the friendly express sons of MT. Cahavero.
 MT. W. I. Buchanan, the United States delegate, also spoke. He thanked Messrs. Cahavero and Duarte Pereiara for their friendly allusions respected the world over.
 All of the delegates to the Pan-Ameri- can congress except MT. Barrett of the United States left on the excursion to Puebla and other Southern points this afternoon. MT. Barrett remains to attend to extra business requiring his attention. General Reyes of Colombia was inter- viewed before leaving. He said:
