per-colored old Monarch of the
glades. Battered by the storms of nearly
three-quarters of a century, he is
quite strong and active, and would be a
rough customer to meet on the war-path.
He speaks some English, and is quite lo
quacious when under the exhilerating
influence of “wyomy" (whiskey), which
be says is •'intiamuscha” (good
much); is as susceptible to flattery as a

Seminoles are subject to the sway of

sovereignty that would dwindle into in
significance the royal prerogatives of the
Czar of Russia. Though, from what we
can lcar , his rule is quite moderate, (all
thing considered), and he is held in high
esteem by his subjects. The weighty
affairs of State appear to rest rather
lightly on his imperial brow. He stalks
around with such an air of native sim
plicity that I find it exceedingly diffi
cult to realize that I am in the august
presence of one who wields the sceptre of
an unlimited monarchy; even the dazzle
and splendor of his imperial court has
failed to impress me with that feeling

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D.C., Oct, 4th 1889.
The election of Mr. Blaine to the pres
idency of the Three America’s Congress
is warmly endorsed by Presideut Harri
son and the selectiou appears to please
the foreign visitors.
Hon. Henry G. Davis, who is one of
the United States representatives in the
Congress, says that he believes some
valuable work will be accomplished.
The majority of the visitors express an
earnest disposition to promote better
commercial relations with the United
States.
An awkward thing happened the first
day the headquarters of the Three
America’s Congress was opened this
week in the pleasent, roomy old mansion
that has been turned over for that pur
pose. Mr. Estee of California, and oth
ers of our delegates were on hand to
recieve the guests, when it was discover
ed that nor one in the party could speak
Spanish and only one or two could
speak French. The colored messenger
was called into the conference and it
was ascertained that lie could speak a
little deviled Spanish, so for a long hour
before Mr. Romero, the Mexican minis
ter arrived, the colored, messenger was
the sole meaus of communication
between tho delegates.
The train which to-day left the Sixth
St. station in this city is unique in the
history of ralroading. The excursion is
one of the most important that has ever
been made. It will last forty-two days,
and every provision for the amusement
and comfort of the guests has been pro
vided. The menu, the service and tie
baths are of a first class character and
t’ffs hotel on wheels will rival the finest
e ravnnsary in the land. The irnpr. ss'on
