1.-THE representatives of the American
republics wish to express their regret at
the closing of their official relations with
the retiring Secretary of State, for whom
they all entertain the highest personal re-
gard and admiration. They feel bound to
record on this occasion their grateful ap-

moral solidarity of our continent. In
their intercourse with Secretary Root
they ever found him animated by the
most earnest and direct interest In the
friendliness Of every American nation,
and by the most absolute and kindly i'm
partially respecting them all. Owing to
that spirit his visit to Latin America dur

has opened quite new era in the polit-
ical relations of the two Americas.
1.-The undersigned beg to offer. at the
same time. to their distinguished chair
man their hearty congratulations on his
election to the United States Senate
They have the most confident hope that
in his new and equally exalted position
he will win for the national foreign pol
icy. which he has drawn from the prn-
ciple of Americanism, the same unanim-
ity happily achieved throughout our con-
tinent by that great principle itself"
