While it is a settled fact that there

all over the country hera this fall to

congress session, no iSea as TO actual
count is known. However, the fact
that the Santa Fe Railroad company
has already sold 5000 of the 1000
tickets which they had printed for
transportation TO this city, gives some
idea of the number that will attend
the congress.
This number will, of course, be
greatly augmented by the time for
the opening arrives and many thou
sands will be added to the large num-
ber already expected. No trouble in
their accommodation will be exper-
fenced, it is thought, as a canvass of
