The peanut seems to be playing the
part of "civilizer" in some Of the for

Traders give negro bushel of nuts

THE PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Mexican senator Writes That 1t
will he Held.

Washington, July 9.-Mr John Barrett,
ex-minister to Siam. and now one of the
American delegates to the Congress of
American Republics to be held in Mexico,
called on Secretary Hay to-day and in
formed him of the receipt of a letter
from one of the Mexican delegates to the
congress. in which the latter states that
the Mexican government fully expects
the congress to be held, despite reports
of disagreement. The writer of the let
ter is a senator in the Mexican Congress,
and is in such relations with the govern
ment as to be able to reflect it's Views.
Mr.. Barrett's letter states that extern
sive preparations are being made for the
congress.
Owing to the interest which Cuba has
in the suppression of yellow fever. 1t is
quite possible that Cuban delegates may
be invited to participate in the congress.
This of course is dependent upon the po-
litical status of Cuba when the congress
is held, as it is understood that Mexico
has refrained from issuing an invitation
to Cuba until the Independent government
of the island has been brought into ex-
istence.
