ARGENTINA WELCOMES
 PROPOSAL OF J. s.
Republic Grateful for Raising Of
 Legation to Embassy.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. That the government of the Argentine Repub- lie welcomes the proposal of the United States to raise it's diplomatic presentation here to the rank of an embassy is indicated by statements made by Senor de la Plaza in his an- nual message to the Argentine con- gress. He said in part:
 Tt is unnecessary to point out the importance of this initiative and the executive power halls it with satisfac- ticn as a proof of the solid friendship which binds the two countries and of the rank to which the republic Is at taining through the gravitating force of it's own progress. This satisfaction must be shared by your honorable congress and the executive power does not doubt of your support when it proposes an analogous measure so as to establish due reciprocity.
 Circumstances Delay Departure.

 States of North America the testimony of our gratitude for it's brilliant par ticipation in the festivals which com memorated the revolution of May. The obstacles which hindered the ful- fillment of our design had disappeared and the embassy was ready to start. but it's departure has been again post poned, as the United States govern nent intimated it's wish to have it de- ferred till next year. doubtless so that it may attend the celebration for the opening of the Panama canal
 some time ago the government of the United States of North America submitted to our government a pro- pcsai to arrange pacific convention. In virtue of which it was resolved to submit for examination to an inter national commission any divergency susceptible of causing an outbreak of fostll1tles. When our minister in Washington had been authorized to slgn after some notifications the con- vention alluded to it came to the knowledge of our chancellory that an- alogous treaties on similar bases were i'll negotiation with Brazil and Chile. In order to give this initiative all possible eminence as an suspicious testimony or harmony 1t was agreed that the representative in Washing ton of the three countries should pro- ceed in common accord so that the treaties should as far as possible ad- just themselves to a single formula and be signed on the same day. There is every reason to hope that the con- vention will shortly be signed
 Great Day for America.
 After viewing briefly the prelimi- nary steps taken by the governments of Argentina. Brazil and Chile to me- diate the differences between the United States and Mexico, Senor de Ia Plaza said, hopefully:
 Tt will be a great day for all America if as a result of our friendly me diation to ward off a conflict con- trary to the spirit of harmony and solidarity which has been confirmed by the community of sentiments evinced in the various Pan-American congresses that peace may arise tri- ulnphant and be re-eSta bliShed be- tween those nations"
