Dr. McArthur says: By the use of such a fabric, perspiration replains in the insensible state until it meets with the cooling influences externally in the cotton framework, the integument remaining dry, while the cotton back, as well as the linen shirt over it, maybe "wringing wet." Exposure to cold draughts with such a suit does not chill the integument, 'because the sudden increased evaporation occurs at a distance from the tekin, and is separated from it by a layer of wool.

JL MARTIN. D. P. A. LED AN UNHAPPY LIFE. A Former Society Belle of St Louis Tries to End Her Troubles with a Revolver. . Bt. Louis, Oct. 2. A yery sensational event occurred at a late hour last night in which an unusually bright and attractive young woman of thirty years was the chief actor. Up to about a year ago Mrs. Emily Howard was tho stenographer and private secretary of Mr. II. C. Simmonds, president of the Simmonds Hardware Company, and it is 6aid that 6he performed her duties with exceptional ability, hut for somo unexplained reason she lost her place. Just before 12 o'clock last night the head watch man of tho house heard three pistol shots in the office of tho lirni, and on hastening to the place found' Mrs. Howard lying on the lloorwitha wound in the left breast, inflicted by herself, sho being tho only person in the office. She was removed to St. Luke's Hospital, and will not die. It is raid that Mrs. Howard visited the store last evening and secreted herself until the hour named, when she made- the attempt on her life. Emily Howard, nee Oppmann, was tjle daughter of a government agent in Bavaria, and came to this country some time after 1870, finding a position in one of the government oflices. 'she is well educated, a brilliant conversationalist, and had a charm of manner which made her many friends. Just where she went from Wash- . ington is not known, but sho turned up later as a teacher of German at the St. Louis public schools. She moved in the best of society, both German and English. "When tired of school-teaching she studied ehort-hand and type-writing, and, going to Chicago early in 1883, obtained a valuable Josition us head stenographer for Bartlett, libbard. Spencer & Co., the greit hardware houe of Chicago. The firm had a liandsoinedrurmnernamedChas.K. Howard, who proposed marriage to Emily and was accepted. She was so happy," she wrote her St, Louis friends, bnt she was not. Howard was neglectful, and had a mother who incurred Emily's lasting dislike. A Btreet meeting, in which the mother-in-law smashed a parasol over Emily's head, was only one incident of manv that showed the nature of the feeling between the two. Howard left his young wife and went East. She followed him and found him, but there was no permanent reconciliation. They vrero mismated, and Emily, in the summer of 1SS". leftllibbard's and cameto St. Louis. Mrs. Howard for some time tried to win back her husband, but she failed. She invoked tho aid of all the powers that be in this behalf, some of them of an occult character, and then she went to a lawyer and got a divorce. She did not ask for the restoration of her maiden name. She has made several ineffectual efiorts to end her existence prior to the one of last night. Annual Meeting of Wool Manufacturer. Knw Yohk, Oct, 2,-Tho annual meeting of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers was held here, to-day, in the Eifth-avenuo Hotel, with closed doors.

Philadelphia, Oct 2. Tho National Civil-service Reform League met in the Continental Hotel this morning. President George William Curtis announced that the first business of the meeting was the election of a president. Mr. Curtis was elected without opposition. Mr. Curtis thanked ho league for the renewed expression of its confidence, and remarked that it was interesting to know that tho rule of a single term did not apply to all presidencies. Ho was glad to note this sign of happy harmony that had always distinguished the deliberations of tho league. The report of tho treasurer showed receipts during the year of 17G.C8, and disbursements of $216.62, leaving a balance in the treasury of $259.46. Sherman S. Kogers then read a long series of resolutions dealing with tho treatment civil-service reform is receiving from tho 'present administration, and contrasting tho promises of the Kepnblican platform with the performances ot the present administration. Tho resolutions commend the President for tho admirable Civil-service Commission which he appointed, and for tho support he accords them, but state that tho execution of tho law is seriously endangered by the appointment as heads of departments of officials not in sympathy with tho law or its purposes. Tho resolutions then condemn the President for abdicating his power of appointment by placing the appointments at tho disposal of partisan leaders, thus enabling them to debauch constituencies and control elections. Tho record of the administration in regard to the railway mail service is severely condemned, and the resolutions hud that the pledge of the President that fitness and not party services should be the sole discriminating test of appointment is disregarded. During the discussion of the resolutions Messrs. Bonaparte, Potts and othern warmly denounced the present postal administration for the disregard of publio interests it has Bhown in whoiesalo removals in the railway mail service, charging that efficiency has been wholly subordinated to political considerations. Mr. Potts pointed out that during tho entire term of Mr. Cleveland's administration 1,990 changes had been made in that branch of tho service, while in the seven months of Harrison's administration there have been over 2,400 changes. The resolutions were adopted. Everett P. Wheeler presented a series of resolutions advocating the appointment of n special agent at Washington and of missionaries to go about the county with the object of ( establishing associations and thereby disseminating the principles of civil-service reform. Mr: Wheeler's resolutions were adopted. Papers were read br Dorman B. Eaton, Kichard H. Dana and Charles J. Bonaparte, after which the convention adjourned. Buffalo, N.

The Socialist national convention spent the morning in trying to get ready to do something, h or an hour or so it -was all in a tangle. There were more motions and amendments and points of order and objections than you could shako a stick at. and there was a polyglot flow of words that mado one's head whirl. The trouble was over the recommittal of tho platform, which was finally recommitted, and then tho constitutional amendments were taken up. These relate to changes in the form of organization. The advisory board is abolished. Tho executive committee is to bo elected by the Chicago committee, the Shevitsch being thus thrown into the 'soup." CJuatlreimial national conventions are provided for, to be held in the early spring of campaign years, and special conventions may bo called on the request of ten sections, representing five States. The name of the party is changed to "the Socialist party of tho United States." and its organization is to conform .to the models furnished by the great political parties. Xxsses by JPire.

Triennial Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America. Argument of Ex-Fresilent McCosh, of Prince ton College,in Favorof Revisingthe Presbyterian Confession of Faith. THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHi. Pastoral Letter from Cardinal Gibbons Concerning the One-Hundredth Anniversary. Baltimore Oct. 2. The pastoral letter of Cardinal Gibbons on the celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the Catholic hierarchy in tho United States has been furnished the Associated Press by the publishers, John Murphy & Co. Following are passages from tho paper: The Cathollo religion subsists and expands under all forms of government and adapts Itself to all times, and places, and circumstances, and this she does without any coraproinlfte of prlncifle or any derogation from the supreme authorty of the church or any shock to tno individual conscience. For, while the truth of faith are eternal and Immutable, the discipline of the church is changeable. Just as man himself is ever the same in his essential characteristics, while his dress varies according to the fashion of the times. Thanks to the blessings of an overruling Providence, and to tho benelieent character of our civil and political institutions, the population of the United States has grown within a century from four to sixty-live millions of people, as happy and contented as any that move on the face of the earth. And thanks to the fructifying influence of the Hoiy Spirit, and to the liberty we enjoy, the progress of the church has more than kept pace with the material development of the country. There is now embraced in the territory of the United States a Catholic population of about 9.00O.0OO. There are 13 archbishops and 71 bishops, 8.000 priests, 10,000 churches and chapels, 27 seminaries, exclusively devoted to the training of candidates for the sacred ministry. There are 650 colleges and academies for the higher education of yonth of lK)th sexes, and 3,100 parish schools. There are 520 hospitals and orphan asylums, where every form of human misery audi uiirmity is alleviated, and where children of toth sexes are rescued from temporal wretchedness and are roared to become useful and honorable mombers of society. But while we rejoice in the numerical strength of the Catholic religion, we rejoice still more that far from betraying any symptoms of religious torror, still less of decay and dissolution, the church exhibits an organic vitality, an exuberant spirit, a vigorous activity and a sturdy growth, which ailord a well-founded hope of unlimited expansion in the future. But we rejoice in the growth of tho Catholic religion not for our own nkes only, for that would be a narrow and selfish satisfaction. Our joy re6ts on broader grounds. We rejoice for our country's sake, firmly believing that the progress of Christian faith will contribute to the stability and perpetuity of the government. In this country the citizen happily enjoys tho broadest exercises of personal freedom. But the wider the scope ot the liberty, the more efficient 6hould be the safeguards to prevent it from being abused and degenerating Into license. The Catholic Church is the friend of law and order; she Is the upholder of legitimate authority: she is the stern opponent of anarchy on the ono hand and of oppression on the other, and by her conservative spirit she is an element of strength to the , Nation. Indeed, to proclaim loyalty to a government Hire ours is, as it ought to be. a spontaneous act of love, as o a a fluff tv ull ivhn ittet1i IKa rr m ri I if in the days of Nero the apostles commanded that the ruler should be honored and prayed for, and that his ordinances should be observed, with what alacrity should we enjoin respect for the constituted authorities, who are the people's own choice, and commend obedience to the laws which were framed with the sole view of promoting the welfare happiness of the community, We hail it as an ausj v .ous omen that the new century will be inaugurated by the opening of the Catholic Universit y. Just as the closing oentury was ushered in by the founding of Georgetown College, ami as Plus VI gave an impetus to religion In 17S9 by the creation of the Cathollo hierarchy among us, so does Leo XIII inspiro us with renewed hope in 1880, by giving his august sanction to tho etabliahment of our national seat of learning;. Thus Pius has planted, Leo watered; may God give the increase. And wo have the firm trust, dearly beloved brethren, that tho Lord will deign to ratify the blessing of Leo, as ho has abundantly confirmed the blessing of Pius, for these two venerable pontiffs have spoken as the blphest representatives of Him who "was made ficsa and dwelt amongit us," whose name across the chasm of nineteen centuries is a living power, and who Is daily shedding benealctlon on the nations that invoke llim. We take great pleasure In announcing to you that a benevolent interest in the vproaching celebration is manifested by the lv. jrarchy of the United States, and CTen of those of other lands. Seventy-three arebbishops and bishops have already Blguilled their intention of honoring us by their presence. Nearly every State and Territory of the Union will be represented on the occasion. A large number of Canadian prelates have also promised to attend, among whom I am nappy to name Ills Kmlnence the Cardlual, Archbishop of Quebec. Even our sister republic of Mexico will be represented br two or more prelates. In a letter lately recciveu the sovereign pontiff expreises his gracious Intention of sending a church dignitary from Home to represent the IiolyJSee at the Baltimore and Washington festivities. The Archbishop commissioned by the holy father is not only an eminent divine, but is honored with the personal friendship of his Holiness himself. mSIlOl'S AND DEPUTIES. Triennial Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America. New York, Oct. 2. The General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Chnrch of America, held every three years, opened this morning in St. George's Church, Stuyvesant's square. This is looked upon as ono of the most notable conventions over held by the chnrch in this country. Thin is tho centennial and anniversary of tho adoption of the constitution of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and of the holding of the first General Convention, as prescribed by that constitntiou. It is also notable from the numher of important subjects to como up before tho convention. Ono of tho questions to he settled ia the proposed change of the naino of the church, many being op posed to the preseut name. Another important question is that of proportional representation. There are also eighteen resolutions proposing "alterations and additions in the Hook of Common Prayer' which were adopted at the Chicago convention three years ago, and which will como up beforo the present convention for final action. The General Convention consists of two houses the house of bishops, numbering forty bishops, and the house of deputies, consisting of over 400 lay and clerical delegates, two of each from each diocese. The convention opuned to-day with religious exercises, th-3 regular morning communion service Yieing celebrated. At 11 o'clock every seat in the church was occupied. While the large assemblage sat patiently waiting the opening of the service, there rose of tly, at first, and then growing stronger, the clear voice of St. George's choir of boys and men. The choir marched down tho center aisle to the entrance and were joined by several of the clergy of tho church in clerical robes. Meanwhile tho forty bishops, comprising the house of bishops, had assembled in tho Memorial House, on Sixteenth street, and from it they marched in procession, clad in their silk gowns, lawn sleeves and other insignia of their episcopal dignity. They were met at the entrance to the church by the clergy of the committee on arrangements and tho cnoir and members. The choir, singing a processional, marched slowly back to the chancel, followed by the bishops. The latter, on arriving at the chancel, took seats within it. At their head there walked Bishop Williams, tho oldest bishop of the

Protestant Episcopal Chnrch in America. The simple and well-known morning service was then begun, and proceeded until Bishop Whipple, of Minneapolis, ascended the pulpit to preach the sermon of the day. At the close of the service the Bishop returned to the Memorial House, wnero luncheon awaited them. After luncheon, both the house of bishops and the house of deputies began the actual work of the convention by proceeding to elect officers and select committees. The convention was called to order at 3:45 P. M. by tho Rev. Charles L. Hutchins, D. IX, of Medford, Mass., who is the secretary of the convention. Dr. Morgan Dix was declared presiding oflicer by a unanimous vote. In taking the chair ho expressed himself as highly gratified at the honor in a neat speech. Dr. Hutchins was re-elected secretary. The motion of Dr. Huntington, that on Thursday morning the discussion relating to the proposed chang in the book of prayer take place, and that the question be kept before the house on each succeeding day of the conference until it is settled, was adopted. The assistant secretaries were then announced, as follows: Rev. Dr. Ansiie, western New York; Rev. E. W. Worthington, Ohio; Rev. C. Davis, Minnesota, and Rev. W. C. Prout, Albany. The Conference, at 5 p.m., adjourned until tomorrow at 9 a. m. . THE ritESBYTERIAN CREED.

Ex-President McCosh, of Prlneton College, Argues in Favor of a Revision Other Views. New York, Oct. 2. The Presbytery of New Brunswick, N. J. , yesterday discussed the proposed revision of the Westminster Confession of Faith. The New Brunswick Presbytery embraces in its boundaries Princeton College and Seminary, and the members of the faculties of both were present in force to take part in the discussion. Ex-President McCosh expressed himself wholly in favor of revision. "There is danger," he said, "in stirring np this matter, but there is more danger in ignoring it or postponing it. The movement in favor of revision has been pushed very earnestly by the young men, and it will as surely he pushed in tho future. Revision seems likely to come, and if it must come it is bettor that there should be no hesitancy, but that the movement should he guided by the older and more conservative men, and guided courageously and openly. It may be doubted if some passages are contained in the word of God. Now, in logic it is law that there shall bo nothing in the conclusion for which there is not a foundation in the premise; hence, what is not in the word of God must not be in the Confession." . Dr. McCosh spoke briefly of the language of the clause declaring that "God, for His own glory, hath foreordained some men to everlasting life and some to everlasting death," and then continued: "There is a want in our confession of a clear and prominent utterance, such as we have m the Scriptures everywhere, of the love of God to all men. and of the free gift of Jesus Christ, and of salvation to all men, not of the elect alone. I find that some of our best and "soundest young men are turned from thdr inclination to enter upon the ministry ,or. having entered upon it, are annoyed and hindered by a few obnoxious phra.ves that keep staring them in the face, and by the absence of the complete recognition of tho infinite love and mercy of God. Leave out, then, these obnoxious phrases, and put in the very front as most prominent expression of our doctrine this one of God's love to all. and of the free offer of salvation. Our Confession meets the heresies of the seventeenth century, but not the heresies of the nineteenth. I confess, too, that I should like to have in the Presbyterian Church a shorter and clearer creed than the Westminster Confession. Our theologians do not accept it as a whole. Among tho theological seminaries some reject one part, some reject another; , all reject something." In conclusion, thefexpresident spoke of the nature of the fieht which the church in this age was entering uron as an argument for the revision. rArcong the other speakers were Dr. Duftieldrof Princeton, who made the principal argument for revision, speaking from tho historical point of view as well as the theological. Dr. Wartield, Princeton's seminary professor of theology, opposed revision on the ground that the present Confession was the correct expression of tho goncral sentiment of tho church and a satisfactory interpretation of the scriptural faith of itself properly interpreted. Others opposed to revision were. Drs. Hodge. Mude. Green and Swan. The presbytery replied in tho negative to tho overture of the General Assembly, asking whether it favored a revision of the Confession, thirty-four delegates voting against revision and sixteen for it.

Munn. of Holyoke: Auditor, D. T. Trefy, of Marblehead; Attorney-general, Elisha B. Maynard. of Springfield. The platform adopted was lencthy. It favors free trade in almost everything, and is especially bitter against the dutyon wool, pig-iron and ship-building material; favors reciprocity with Canada: opposes a national election law; charges the present national administration with narrow partisanship, with a surrender to unscrupulous political bosses, with betrayal of civ-il-service reform, with selling high oflices, with nepotism, and with placing deserving veterans on a par with deserters. MONTAM- STILL IN DOUBT

Eepubl ican Congressman Elected but tho Stato Ticket Claimed bj Both Parties. Probability that the Legislature Will Be DemocraticMajorities in Washington and the Two Dakota Pierre Gets the Capital. Helena, M. T., Oct. 1. Returns are coming in slow and figures are so close that the majorities wiU not be much either way. The Democrats claim the State by 300 to 500, and tho Republicans hy COO to 1.000, Tho Republicans lost in Republican counties, but made gains in Democratic strongholds. At midnight the Democrats conceded the election of Carter to Congress. Toole, Democrat, is three hundred ahead of Power. Republican, for Governor, with four counties claimed by both parties, still to hear from. The Democrats have tho Leg islature by small majorities. The Republicans elect a majority of the minor State officers. This county elects four Democrats and five Republicans to the Legislature. The Independent claims the election of Toole, Democrat, by S00 to 400, and a ma jority of nine on joint ballot in the Legislature. Result in North Dakota, St. Paul, Oct. 2. WThile North Dakota last November gave 7,000 majority for the Republican candidate for delegate to Con gress, the new Stato will not bo able to givo a greater majority for the same party this year. In other words, tho vote in North Dakota is much liahter than anticipated, and the reason assigned is that the weather was so pleasant that many harvest ing hands refused to take the time from their work to attend to voting. This may be considered a greater evidence of loyalty to the famous "Dakota No. 1 hard" than desire for statehood, but statehood without the prosperity represented hy that same wheat would be valueless. For Governor, John Miller, the Republican candidate, received 5,000 more votes than W. N. Roach, the Democratic nominee. All returns yet received indicate that the vote for Congressman drew out at least 2,000 more votes, making the majority for II. C. Hansbrough, for Congress, 7,000 or more. There has not been any doubt to-day as to tho complexion of the Legislature, the only point to be settled being the proportion of the parties, lieturns sumcient to indicate tbe result have been received from twentysix of the thirty-one legislative districts in tno Mate, there are twenty Republican. five Democratic and one independent Republican Senators; forty-two Republican and ten Democratic Representative. A strong fight was made for the district judgeships, of which there were six to be i j a. i a -raisposea oi ai mis eiecuon. ine nemocrats used the argument of a non-partisan judiciary, and the result of that, coupled with some good nominations, is the election of half the district jndpes. The now judges are: First district, C. F. Templeton. Demo crat; second, D. E. Morgan, Republican; Third, W. B. McConnell, Democrat; Fourth. u. s. .Lauder, itepublican; rifth, Roderick Rose, Democrat; Sixth, W.H. Winson, Republican. A Bismarck, N. D., correspondent of tho Pioneer-Press says that instead of five thousand majority. Miller will havo ten thousand for Governor. The liquor men are alarmed to-night The vote on prohibition upon their figuring is close. Pierre Secures the South Dakota Capital. Sr. Paul, Oct. 2. The election of officers and congressmen in South Dakota cut rather a small figure in the contest, the vote being acknowledged to he one-sided. The contest for the location of the capital overshadowed all else. It is claimed that even votes'on prohibition were traded for votes on the capital location, and that tho most thorough campaigning was as chaff ueioro mo wina wuen me capital question was mentioned. Dispatches np to 11 p. m.. to-night, show the following condition of affairs on tho capital contest: Pierre, 13,024; Huron. 11,776: Sioux Falls. 11,410. The success of Pierre is generally conceded. A Blunt, S. D., dispatch says: The westbonnd train for Pierre passed through here at 5:30 o'clock, loaded with Pierre boomers. The rush to Pierre will be unprecedented. anu iarm property nas airoauy taken a jump of 100 per cent. Washington's Big Republican Majority. Portland, Ore., Oct. 2. II. W. Scott, editor of tho Portland Oregonian, now in Olyrapia, Washington, telegraphs as fol lows: Tho Washington Constitution has been adopted by eighteen to twenty thousand majority. The whole Republican State ticket has been elected by eight to ten thousand. Of 110 memhers of the Legislature in both houses, the Democrats have not elected more than 15. Tho prohibition and woman-suffrage clauses of the Constitution have been defeated. For the State capital, Olympia is largely ahead of all competitors, and mav havo a majority over all, though the better juogmenx is mat anomer uaiiot win oeneoessary to decide it. All of the principal towns, Seattle. Tacoma, Spokane Falls, Olympia. Fort Townsend and Vancouvre. voted heavily for the Constitution and gave largo Republican majorities. Indiana's Part In the Victories. Bxec!al to the ImUanaioUs Journal Washington,- Oct. 2. Unusual interest was shown here to-day in the result of the elections in the four new States.

Short Business Meeting at Which llr. Blaine Is Elected Permanent President Reception and Luncheon at the White ITotlss Mississippi Democrats Introduce the Race Issue in the State Campaign. INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS. Sir. Blaine Makes m Speech, and Is Klected President Reception at the White House. Washington, Oct. C Shortly before noon the delegates to the International American Congress left there headquarters at the Wallach mansion and repaired in a body to tho State Department, All of the delegates to the congress were present, with tbe exception of Mr. Coolidge, of Boston, who will join the party later on. After a short stay in tho Traitin-room the delegates were escorted by Assistant Secretary Adce to the diplomatic, reception-room. Here they were met by Secretary Blaine, who without the ceremony of formal intro- 9 dnction, welcomed personally each and all of the delegates. After a few minutes thus employed, the delegates were seated, and Secretary Blaine standing1 at one end of the long central table, spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the International Amerjcan Conpress Speaking for the government of the United States, I bid you welcome to this capital. Speaking for the people of the United States, 1 bid you welcome to every section and to every State of the Union. You come in response to an invitation extended br the 1 "resident on tho special authorization of Congress. Your presence here Is no ordinary event. It signifies much to the people ot all America to-day. It may signify far more in the days to come. Is o conference of nations has ever assembled to consider the welfare of territorial possessions so vast, and to contemplate the possibilities of a future so great and so inspiring. Those now sitting within these walls are empowered to speak for nations whose borders are on both the great oceans, whose northern limits are touched by the Arctlo waters for a thousand miles beyond the straits of Behring, whoso southern extension furnishes human habitations further below the equator than is elsewhere possible on the globe. While considerations of this character must Inspire Americans, both South and North, with, the liveliest anticipations of future grandeur and power, they must alf o Impress them with a sense of the gravest responsibility touching the character and development of their respective nationalities. The delegates whom I ani addressing can do much to establish permanent relations of confidence, respect and friendship between the nations which they represent. They . can show to the world an honorable and peaceful conference of seventeen independent American powers, In which all shall meet together on terms of absolute equality; a conference in which there can be no attempt to coerce a single delegate against his own conception of the Interests of his nation; a conference which will pernitt no secret understanding of any subject, but will frankly publish to the world all Its conclusions; a conference which will tolerate no spirit of conquest, but will ala to cultivate an American sympathy as broad as both continents; a conference wnlch will form no selfish alliance against the older nations, from which we are proud to claim inheritance; a conference, in fine, which will seek nothing, propose nothing, endure nothing that Is not. In the general scue of ull the delegates; timely and wisely peaceful. And yet wc caunot be expected to forget that our common fate has made us inhabitants of the two continent s which, at the close of four centuries, are still regarded beyond tho seas as the new world. Like situations beget like sympathies and Impose Uke duties. We meet in tho flrra belief that tho nations of America ought to and can be more helpful each to the other than they now are, and that each will find advantage and profit from an enlarged intercourse with the others. We believe we should bo drawn together mow closely by tho highways of the sea, and that at no distant day the railway systems of the North and South will meet upon the isthmus and connect by land routes the political and commercial capita's of all America. We believe that hearty co-operation, based on hearty confidence, will save all American States from tbe burdens and evils which have long and cruelly afflicted the older nations of the world. We believe that a spirit of Justice, of common and equal Interest between the American States, will leave no room for an artificial balance of power like unto that which has led to wars abroad and drenched Kurope In blood. We believe that friendship avowed with candor, and maintained with good faith, will remove from American States the neceRity of guarding boundary lines between themselves with fortifications and military force. We believo that standiag armies, beyond those which are needful for public order . and the safety of Internal administration, should be unknown on both American continents. Wo believe that friendship, and not force; the spirit of the law. and not the violence of the mob, should bo the recognized rule of admin istratloa between American nations and In American nations. To these subjects, and those which are cognate thereto, tha attention of this conference Is earnestly and cordially invited by the government of the United States. It will be a great gain when we shall acquire that common conHdence- on which all international friendship rauatref-t It will be a greater gain when we shall be able to draw the people of all American nations into closer acquaintance with each other an end to be facilitated by more frequent and more rapid intercommunication. It will be the greatest gain when the personal and -commercial relations of the American States, South and North, shall be developed and so regulated that each ehaU aoquire the highest possible advantage from the . enlightened and enlarged lntcrcourho of alL llefore the conference shall formally enter upon the dlscusfflon of the subjects to be submitted to it, I ata instructed by the rresldent to Invite all the delegates to be the guests of the government during a proposed visit to various sections ot the country, with the double view of showing to our friends from abroad the condition of the United States and of giving to our own people in their homes the privilege and pleasure of extending the warm welcome of Americans to Americans.
