The secretary of State, on Monday morning, telegraphed Captain Bonrke, iu charge of the special train that was car rying the Pan-Americans on their South ern tour, to return to Washington from Richmond, Va. This was done because so few of the delegates desired to make the excursion. Thirteen of the foreign delegates accepted the invitation, but only two of them—Martinez Silva, of Columbia, and Zegarra, of Peru, —left Was ington with the party. The others sent letters of regret, giving various reasons for withdrawing their ac ceptance. Some were detaine 1 by important business; some were called to New York by telegraph; others had decided to start at once for their homes, and the rest were ill or too tired to make the journey. Several promised to join the excursion at Rich mond, Mondqy,but were un ble to do so, and the secretary of state decided that the number of those going would not justify the expense of the journey, which would cost as much as if the entire con ference had gone. The secretary said that he sincerely regretted that the com mercial organization and citizens of the south who had made preparations to en tertain the delegates had to be disap pointed, but felt that they would appre ciate the circumstances which compelled the abandonment of the excursion.
