FAREWELL ADDRESS TO PAN
 AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Deprecates Threats of Withdrawal from the Conclave If Certain Things Were Not Dons-Hs
 Is Coming Back

Mexico City, Dec. 20.-John Barrett ot the United States delegation to the Pau- American conference, who Is leaving for Washington today, made farewell speech at this mornings session. He begged his South American colleagues to remember the special condition under which the United States delegation nad to work. The decision of the conference as far as the United States was con cerned, were dependent for approval of the action of the United States Senate, and that body had tU consider the vary ing interests and feelings of forty-hvs independent States, whereas 1t must bs remembered that all the Latin-American delegates to the conference put together only represented eighteen independent States.
 The American delegates have realized continued Mir. Barrett, that they had tc contend against some degree Of Opposi- ton here; not on the part of the Mexican people, but the clerical press. However, they fully understand that the clerical press represented nothing but itself
 MT. Barrett went on to correct the statement made by Senor Anadon. of Argentina, at the previous session, to the effect that the United States was sur rounded by a Chinese wall in the shape of it's tariff. The tariff, explained Mir. Barrett, had not been hastily developed. It was the outcome of the necessities of the American people. and the expression Of the result and interests of forty-five different States, At present, nearly 30 per cent of the United States imports come in free of duty, "and we hope" said Mir. Barrett Ito be still more liberal in the future"
 Had. ka al. rumors which had been current of the withdrawal of certain nations from the conference in case this or that thing was not done. He sincerely deprecated such talk. He expected all the delegates to remain until their Iabors were concluded. so as to achieve practical results and bring about the greatest good for the greatest number.
 All should be prepared to make some concessions and realize that no one can have his own way in everything. He felt confident that the rumors referred to were untrue and that the conference would be attended with good results to the nineteen nations represented.
 The report of the Pan-American bank committee was accepted by the confer ence, but on motion of Hon. John Barrett the following amendment was ineor. porated.
 Tn view of the great and growing importance of the commerce and trade between the Pacific Coast States of the United States on the one hand. and the West coast of Mexico. Central America and South America. on the other hand, and in consideration of the earnest re- quest of the large business interests cen- tering at San Francisco, it is respect fully recommended that the name San Francisco be inserted after the words the conclusion of the resolution reported by the Committee on International Banks"
