He said tlie office* at that station was an old soldier, one of the guards of the time of Nicholas I, and a man known throughout the country for his brutal treatment of prisoners.

At this juncture the black grouse en¬ tered slowly from another room, stem possible, ingly as if aware of my danger, and, ii to assist me.

[Special Oorrespomleooe.J 1 Washwotoh, Oct. 10.—As I mingled last week with the delegates from South and Central America who were in this city attending the American congress, heard them talk of their countries and industries, and noted that almost met with¬ wun- out exception they were men of ’ superior education and attainments, tho to lesson was brought home to me, as I dare are say it was to many others, that it Is the height of coaoeit for us to call ourselves, as we do, “the Americans.” There are other great countries and peoples on this con¬ tinent We are not the only ‘Americana The United States has less than one- half the population of the western hemis¬ phere, and by no means all of the cul¬ ture, progress, literature, art and ma¬ terial resources. Wedo well to cultivate the acquaintance of our neighbors to tlie south, who are just now blossoming and blooming both industrially and politi¬ cally. The delegates from these southern countries are now seeing what we some¬ what narrowly term America. They are visiting our cities and towns, our manu¬ facturing establishments and our forms. Doubtless they will see much and be greatly interested, but with some curi¬ osity concerning the commerce and in¬ dustries of their own countries I made Inquiry of one of the South most intelligent of the delegates from America, one who has traveled from Patagonia to British America. “This te a great country, a great coun¬ try,” raid he, “but we hare some great countries, too. You people do not know «s; we do not know you. It is not so easy to get from our country to yours. We go often to Paris, to London, even to Berlin, but rarely to New York or New Orleans, which are much nearer. Just now the English appear to be closer to us than any other people.

There is ap¬ parently no limit to the confidence they have in our future, as there seems to be no bottom to their purse. Will they lose on some of their investments?

Ia it not so In all ventures? And if the English and French lose some getaflof money in our trade? enterprises, do they not our “We think you people of the United because jut with and French, For instance, I was talk¬ ing not long ago with your consul at Maracaibo, Venezuela. For a long time he endeavored to persuade capitalists of the United States to invest in a proposed railway from Maracaibo to Merida, trav¬ ersing the rich coffee regions of the CJor- dillera. But his suggestions bore no fruit, except in Paris, where a company Venezuelan was organized to build fhe railway. The government guaranteed 7 per cent, interest on the capital and granted other extraordinary privileges. The company lias made a very nice thing of it, and you Americans might just as well have had the profit, for it is an actual fact that it was the suggestion of your excellent consul, translated into French and republished in Paris, which led the Frenchmen into their highly suc¬ cessful venture. “By the way,” continued this delegate, “Venezuela is a very interesting and prosperous country, as no doubt Dr. Francisco Antonis Silva, the delegate, would revwa* w be ft**** glad to tell you if he could speak English. There is op© district of Venezuela lu which the breeding of goats Is tho chief industry. In another distriot nearly all of the inhabitants find employment In gathering the brushed beans of the dividivi tree, wlficlpare and distilled for the large quantities of tan¬ ■ nin which they contain. In still another ‘ district many of the people earn a liveli¬ hood gathering gums, balsams and or¬ chids from the forests. Petroleum, as¬ phalt, gold and silver are some of the treasures to be found in the earth in that country, and the forests contain vast quantities of mahogany. “American engineers stand high in the estimation of the people pf South America. Since Meigs constructed those wonderful railways in Peru our people hare thought nothing too difficult for the genius of the United States engineer to overcome. In San Salvador, a little republic of which I dare say you have heard but little in this country, an Amer¬ ican engineer, Mr. Bregma, is dqmg some remarkable work in railway build¬ ing. American engineers are employed on many works in Chili, Peru and the Argentine Republic, and an American company is building a railway in Hon¬ duras. Probably it will not be a dozen years before railway communication will be established direct from New York and Chicago, via the city of Mexi¬ co, with all the central and South Amer¬ ican capitals. A new era has dawned in our life, and it is the erg of rapid prog¬ ress. We also have much confidence in the completion of the Nicaragua canal, now that an American company has earnestly taken hold of that great pro¬ ject that this “It is my belief congress, and the visit we ere to make to your manufacturing centers, will greatly stimulate commerce between toe United if States nothing and onr souther^ tangible than countries, even in¬ more a more timate acquaintanceship comes from it I am sure if Americans knew the oppor¬ tunities for money making ■bbxksb*.^ that are open m ■»*- li*. — - — .ttb* to t&em, - -- in rscmin they would bo more ; tara With stone pestles. the jsijiUlwvc not the money with which to lrtijr bulling mmdjinerv.

While there are large forests of softwoods In the country, they are so remote from tlw rivers and the coast that it has been found cheaper to import from North American ports.

Therefore if we should‘over the coffee' reach a better understanding of our re¬ ciprocal trade relations, it would be most fitting. I am told that the people of the United States consume mow coffee each year than Germany, Great Britain, Aus¬ tria and Franco combined. Pour-flfthi of your requirements are produced to Brazil and Venezuela, and nearly all of the remaining fifth in Guatemala, Mex¬ ico, San Salvador, Columbia, Costa Rica and Hayth Brazil alone supplies one- half of what is regarded as tlie average annual coffee crop of the world. I be¬ lieve American enterprise and American machinery are needed in this industry. Why, the best Brazilian plantations de¬ pend almost entirely upon the hoe. They use the plow very little. The coffee farmers know little or nothing about conserving the soil. It is never en¬ riched, and the art of rotation in crops, so commonly practiced by yodr farmers, is almost unknown to ours. Coffee is, in many sections, the only crop, and when disaster comes to that, as it does sometimes come, both planter and mer- d»„. tad themselves on .ho.,,,, ol mn- “During a winter’s residence in Cuba I became somewhat familiar with the coffee industry there.
