When the President and the people come to cast up the results, unless all present prospects fail, tbey will find small reduction all along the line to the number' of about six hundred. But of far more Importance In the estimation of .the -President, and it I mfe prediction that It! will be In the estimation of tbe people, will be tbe provisions for a corporation tax and for a tariff commission.

Pan American Congress given by Mr. Foster at his how It was his in ton tiou to read a paper before the dele. gatee calling attention to tbe import ance of the propoa d railroad, bnt a lb dinner to th twenty-eight delegate took on an entirely social "pee it reading was deferred and the paper wa beaded tbe president of the delegation to read to ths group on the way home which was done. It is thus that Mr, Foster may right fully be entitled to tbe distinction of having been largely instrumental in arousing the agitation fur the atnpen dous project. Mr. Foster though 87 year yonng write with astooishing rigor and clearness. Speaking of He railway project ho says Chile bas been handicapped tn her progress by reason of the recent terrible earth quake which laid waste bo many of her cities and caused loss to publio and private property amounting tn hundreds of millions or dollars. .Not withstanding these losses she is now hastening to ooaoluslon ten line Qf new railroads, five of which will connect the Central trunk line with PmoIQo ocean porta. Other lines ars ailing up gas to complete tbe Chil ean end of tbe great Intercontinent al railroad. Tbe Argentine Repub lic has laid the rails from her Pata gonia regiona op to her northern boundary Bolivia baa contracted with an A mar Icon Syndicate which la now constructing linee from her southern to her northern border in Peru, whioh oountry haa completed her share and the track ia open from Bolivia to tbe Anoient City of Cnaco, through whioh tbe groat line ia pro jected. Tbeir lloea pass thrn unin habited, undeveloped regions Which wait for their prosperity the oomple. tlon to the United Statue. From Cnaco to Quito in Eooardor tbe road would ran over a high plateau of the Andes in tbe temperate aone. The mineral wealth in all these regiona is vast and the road would be tbe only practicable outlet for the rich est ana snost extensive vsJlsv or plain 00 the globe abounding In all tbe products of the torrid aone, not ably vaat forests of the India robber The plain ia easy ef access through numerous passe down the eastern slopes of the mountains and unlimited hydraulic power wonld provide oheap transportation. From Quito tbe road would pan through Columbia down the Canoe river to ita Junction with the great Magdalene river to Barranqnilla on Caribbean aea whanoe lines of steam ship ooold ran to all Southern sea ports of this oountry.

The two America con. tain within their territory all ele ment of the mineral, animal and vegetable kingdom in abundance with eaay exploitation. The United Statee should enjoy all the trade and commerce of Bonth America much of whioh ia now 3n possession of European nations. Mr. Foster dwells with eloqnenoe on the vast benefits whioh would acorns to thia oountry from auch connect km and the peace and good will whioh would be essared between tbe two oonn tries, making them the most power ful on the globe. He msrks ths rapid change which have transformed thi country since be began visiting here in 1850, and to emphasize the point relate that on the arrival of tbe Minister, Mr. Hicks from this oountry in Sautitgo b called on him and was received with cordiality.
