The President has sent io the House tho secretary of state’s reply to tho request for infoionatkm respecting tho participation of tho United IStat s in tho Congo eonterence* Mr. Frel big buy son says that in tho spring of 1881 tho President, in obedience te the requost of Congress, recognized tho ting of tho International association of tlio Congo, nnd appointed a commercial agent for tho Congo basin. In so doing the govern ment recorded its share in the already general conviction that tlu prospective rich trade of tho Congo valley should bo open to all na tions on equal terms. On October 11, 1884, tho German government,through its minister, invited tho United States government to take partin a conference to be hold in Berlin to ar range conditions which would assure tho de velopment of commerce with the Congo re gion. Tho state department at once asked Mr. Kasson, United States minister to Ger many, to report tho nature of the measures to bo proposed at tho conference. Mr. Kasson reported that the subject bo lore tho conference would be tho development of tho various nations’commercial interest with the Congo valley; that each government would havo tho right to adopt or reject the conference’s conclusions, and that our participation ap peared to bo advisable and consistent with our precedents and policy. Tho government thereupon determined to accept tho Gorman government’s invitation, on the understanding that questions of ter ritorial jurisdiction should bo excluded by tho conference. Minister Kasson was directed to represent tho United States, and afterword Henry S. Sanford was mode his associate delegate. Air.
