MEDICAL ELOQUENCE. Foreign Delegates at the Pan-Ameri- can Congress Speak AT TODAY'S GENERAL SESSION, Two Representatives of the Black Republic. GREETINGS FROM MEXICO. The general exercises of the second day of the great Pan-American congress began at 9:30 o'clock this morning at Albaugh’s Opera House. The delegates were rather slow in arriving so that it was necessary to postpone calling the meeting to order for a half hour after the regular time, 9 o'clock, that was down on the program. ‘There were present at the morning ses- sion about 150 delegates, among whom was @ small scattering of ladies. ‘They really had a good excuse for their tardiness, for before the meeting began they all had assembled on the south steps of the treasury and there been photograph- ed in a big group. Dr. Pepper presided at the meeting and introduced Rev. Dr, Garrigan, vice rector of the Catholic University, to open the session with prayer. The session for the most part was devoted to the delivery of a number of brief addresses by representa- tives of different Central and South Ameri- can nations. Among the prominent delegates who occupied seats upon the platform were Secretary General Reed. two brainy-looking colored men. They were representatives from that uncertain and mercurial republic, Halt These sub- Jects of Hippolyte speak the purest of French and one of them, Dr. Gilleo, dellv- ered on behalf of his president and people, a brief, but eloquent address in his native tongue. A pretty feature of the morning session was the passage of a resolution of con- dolence with Commissioner ftoxs, who was seriously injured by being struck by a cable car last night, Yesterday morning Mr. Ross delivered an address of welcome to the capital before the congress, and the deep sympathy of this body with him im his grievous misfo-tune was uelic::tely ex- pressed in the resolutions which were yre- sented by a delegate from Kentucky. The exercises of the morning were open- ed by an earnest and eloquent prayer by Rev. Dr. Garrigan, who asked a blessing and an outpouring of divine grace upon the members of the congress. He spoke of the Savior as the Great Physiciun and asked that He would increase the knowledge of these followers in their noble profession of healing. A Greeting From Haiti. The representative of Haiti, Dr. Victor Louis Giileo, spoke a few brief words in French, presenting the compliments of his President to the congress. He sald: “Mr. President and Honored Confreres: The government of his excellency, Presi- dent Hippolyte and the medical corps whom you have done the honor to invite to par- A. M. Owen, M. D., Treasurer. tictpate in this congress have directed us to express to you on this occasion their most sincere felicitations. The idea that you have conceived of bringing us all together in a medical congress is a noble one and has been greatly appreciated among us. We have the firm hope that the influence of your work will advance until it spreads throughout the entire world. “Also, we must add, Mr. President and honored confreres, that we are at the dis- position of this congress to give any in- formation of which you may stand in need as to the systems of medicine and surgery in Haiti.” Eloqueace From Mexico. Dr. Mendiz Abel of Orizaba, Mexico, one of the most eloquent speakers of that coun- try, spoke in Spanish. He pafd a pretty compliment to the beauty of this capital and the good work that may be accom- plished through the influence of such med- {cal reunions and the consequeat exchange of opinion and thought. A Response From Pera. Senor Manuel A. Muniz, surgeon general of the Peruvian army, member of the Na- tional Academy, professor of the medical school and physician of the lunatic asylum of Lima, made an address for his country. He spoke in Spanish. In his remarks he sald: “The government of Peru in accepting the gracious invitation of the United States government has appointed me its official representative in this first Pan-American medical congress and I have great pleasure in giving public expression in its name and in the name of the Peruvian medical cor- poration to the feelings of friendship and good will entertained by the people of Peru toward their great sister republic, whose advance and welfare they so fervently de- sire, I believe further that this frst great ian-American medical congress will ald the sclentifie fraternity of both Americas to accomplish fruitful results on all. the flelds opened to our noble profession fcr the benefit of mankind.”" An Invitation From San Francisco. At the conclusion of this address Dr. Plummer of San Francisco was given an opportunity to speak for the beauties and resources of the state of California and to extend a general invitation to all his hear- ers to be present at the meeting of the American Medical Association in San Fran- cisco next May. Prof. Lavista’s Address, The second general address before the congress was then delivered by Prof. Rafael Lavista, the leading aurgeon of the City of Mexico. He read his address in English. It was a carofully prepared and very thorough treatment of the subject of gangrene in wounds and antiseptic metheds surgery. President Pepper announced that he had been requested to present @ resolution for reference to the international executive committee as follows: In view of the im- portance of taking the necessary steps to insure the prosecution of the great con- tinental work of the congress the tnter- national executive committee is hereby em- powered and requested to appoint suitable international committees on the subject of Proper governmental recognition of state Preventive medicine, on uniformity in American pharmacology and on medical A Department of Agriculture. Dr. Gihon then presented an important resolution which had been sent up to the congress from one of its most active sec- tions. This resolution was referred to the same committee. It read as follows: ‘That in the opinion of the section on hy- giene, climatology and demography of the Pan-American medical congress the inter- ests of the public health, in every country, should be and must be intrusted to a de- partment of the government especially charged with their administration and that while the precise form of administration may be left to legislation, the indispensable requisites are that it shail be national, that it shall have parity of voice and influence in the national councils, that it shall have independent executive authority, under tl imitations common to other departments and that it shall be intrusted to educated and experienced medical men, who alone aro competent to assume its ‘responsibill- jes. At this point the congress adjourned until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. TODAY’S DISCUSSIONS. Papers and Talks at the Morning Meetings of Sections.

This section met in Parlor A of the Arlington, and a num- ber of interesting and valuable papers were read by men who are recognized as experts in their special lines of practice. Dr. E. 0. Belt of this city read a carefully prepared and able paper on the subject, “A Com- parison of the Eyes of White With Colored Pupils in the Public Schools of Washington City. Dr. C.

The Senate and House Are Both in Session. MR. MORGAN'S FINANCE COMMITTEE. He Speaks at Length on His Reso- lution of Yesterday. DISCUSSING HOUSE RULES. THE SENATE. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Cullom (ll.): To repeal sll acts Providing for the creation or maintenance of the sinking fund. A report from the committee on privi- leges and elections, allowing to the claim- ants for seats from Montana, Washington and Wyoming (under appointment from the governors) each, was made and re- ferred to the committee on contingent ex- penses. The 11 O'Clock Resolution Laid Over. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Voorhees (Ind.) for the daily meeting of the Senate at 1 a. m. was laid before the Senate by the Vice President. Mr. Voorhees said that he desired to make a brief statement. After full and careful consultation with the friends of the repeal bill on this side of the chamber, said he, in whose judgment I have been accus- tomed to confide, and whose wishes I can. I will ask that this resolu- tion go over for the present, believing that if we occupy the time of the Senate care- fully and conscientiously we will make as much 8] perhaps, as by its adoption, until at least a later day. Mr.Morgan’s Joint Finance Committee The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Morgan (Ala.), for the appointment of a joint select committee on finance, was next laid before the Senate by the presiding off- cer, Mr. Voorhees suggested that the resotu- tion could not be adopted without its refer. ence to the finance committee, and he moved to proceed with the consideration of the bill to repeal the Sherman act. Mr. Sherman notified the Senator fem fatians that ‘be could ‘wait for his bill till of : Mr. Voorhees—“While that ts true the Senator from Alabama, with exceeding deli- cacy, takes two Senators from the floor— the Senator from Nevada (Mr. Stewart), who wishes to conclude his speech, and the Senator from Texas (Mr. Mills), who has given notice of his intention to a@dress the Senate. That is all that I wish to say.” Senator Stewart (in an undertone end with a smile)—Oh, I will pardon him. Mr. Morgan—I will be entirely delicate and respectful to every Senator when he is in order; and I am in order now, and no Senator has a right to the floor to supersede the resolution which the Vice President has laid before the body. I am not guflty of any indelicacy in trying to assert my rights under the rules of the Senate. The Senator from Indiana has given notice of a motion to refer this resolution to the finance com- mittee, but I do not expect that the Senate will refer to the finance committee a meas- ure which has for its purpose to supplant the powers of that committee. If this pro- Posed joint select committee were not ex- pressly intended to supersede the functions of the finance committee in both houses, that would be nostrum to cure a particu. lar part of a complaint which the people of the United States recognized as being a very serious one and presenting a it many different aspects. ik ere was a great diversity of opinion as to what should take place etter the, of the Sherman act, and the ob- ject of his resolution was to put the matter in the hands of a Joint select committee to determine what should be done in the event of the Senate's concurring with the House in the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Would anybody undertake to say that there was no necessity for fur- ther legislation after the Sherman act was repealed? No one had suggested as yet that that particular remedy was going to relleve the country of all the great evils that it Weng, Grperioncing, and had been exper- lencing for the last two months, or for th last year. a i Therefore it was Necessary not only to meet public expectation, but to perform the duty devolving on Senators, to take a broad and general view of all the difficulties sug- gested In relation to the financial and mon- etary situation of the United States. It was necessary that a jolnt committee should investigate, fully and completely, the whole subject; and when ft understands {t, should bring forward one bill-or several bills for the purpose of rectifying the trouble. A Medley of Legislation. Mr. Morgan went on to quote the various statutory provisions as to legal tender money, and declared that there never had been such a medley of legislation as now stood on the statute book in reference to legal tenders. It was a crude, ill digested, elaborate, almost impossible to be under- stood system. Ought that not, he asked, to be remedied? Ought not every kind of money used in the United States (except, perhaps, the minor coins of nickel and cop- ber) be legal tender for the payment of debts? ‘That was an tmportant subject, and one which Congress could not forbear to act on, without ‘mpeaching the wisdom, if not the integrity of {ts action on the financial question. He demanded it as a democrat, and he demanded it as a Senator. If there were any party ties standing In the way he would throw them aside and act as an honest and free man, representing an hon- est and free people. ‘The Repeal Bill Up. Mr. Morgan closed his speech at 1:50. Mr. Voorhees then moved to take up the repeal Dill, Objection to that motion was made by Mr. Morgan, Mr. Harris and others as be- ing an unfair way of displacing the resolu- tion, After some colloquy the gote was taken on Mr. Voorhees’ motion, and it was agreed to—yeas, 37; nays, 21. The repeal bill was taken up. THE HOUSE. ‘There were nct more than a hundred mem- bers present when the House was called to order this morning. Mr. Talbert (S. C.) asked leave to intro- duce a bill for the enlargement of the vol- ume of currency. Mr. Brosius (Pa.) objected. The House then resumed the considera- tion of the new code of rules, the pending question being the Kyle amendment strik- ing from the rules the clause making 100 members @ quorum in committee of the whole. Mr. Catchings, a member of the commit- tee on rules, said that since the recess last Saturday many members on the democratic side bad asked the committee on rules to accept the amendment and the committee had thought it proper to accede to that re- quest. The committee had no desire to force anything on the House, Ex-Speaker Reed Defended. Mr. Dolliver eaid that up to this time the gentlemen from Mississippi! and Ohio had been the unconscious instrument of the theory that they were the authors of the reforms in the rules and not the struggling victims of it. He expressed his regret at the present retreat which was cowardly covered by the words that had fallen from the lips of Mr. Catchings. He then defend- ed the course pursued by Speaker Reed in the Fifty-first Congress, and elicited ap- plause from the republican side. He con- gratulated the House that it was nearer than it had ever been before to the Uberty given to the House by the courage and ge nius of the gentleman from Maine. (Ap- plause on republican side.) Mr. Catchings was not surprised by the gentleman from Iowa. Gentlemen on the other side, he said, were fond of having (Continued on Sixth page) OUR OPPORTUNITY. Strained Relations Between Germany and Bussia May Do Us Good. Imcrease@d Demand for American Goods Will Follow—Oll and Rye Already Wanted Abroad. The strained trade relations between Russia and Germany forms the subject of @ report just received at the State Depart- ment from Mr. F. H. Mason, U. 8. consul general at Frankfort, who describes the situation as “a new commercial oppor- tunity for the United States.” He says: “Readers of European politics are gen- erally aware that during the past twe months a serious disagreement has oc- curred between the governments of Fussia and Germany in respect to a commercial treaty between the two countries, and that as @ result negotiations were broken off and Russia decreed against Germary a retaliatory tariff in which all existiag im- port duties should be advanced 3 per cent. Germany promptly retorted by declaring a similar increase of 50 per cent in the duties on all imports from Russia. These two measures,which took effect simultaneously, have practically suspended commerce be- tween the two countries in several im- portant classes of merchandise. Under the best possible circumstances, and even with good will on both sides, the present German embargo against Russia cannot be modified by the adoption of a new treaty until the meeting of the parlia- ment at Berlin in November, by which time most of the rivers and canals of Russia will be closed to navigation, leav- ing the transportation of freight exclu- sively to the railways, whose rates for long distances, especially in Russia, are prac- tically prohibitory for grain and coarse products of all kinds. The Russo-German commerce for the coming autumn and win- ter must therefore practically cease or struggle along under a 8 per cent increase in the already high import duties exacted by both countries upon even such articles a8 food and other necessities of life. Ameri- can producers and exporters will do well to examine somewhat critically the nature and extent of the opportunity which is thus suddenly opened to products from the United States. ‘The first requisite to such an examination 1s a synopsis of the quantity and character of the merchandise which has hitherto been exchanged between Germany and Russia. Not all the statistics of last year’s com- merce are yet available, but it ts known that in 18%2 Ruasia gold to Germany rye valued at $21,420,000, jes 300,000 barrels of refining petroleum and 78,000 barrels of petroleum products, mainly lubricating otis, which are largely ysed by the German state railways. In other respects the Russo- German trade of 1802 did not éiffer ensen- tially from that of 1891."" Chance for the United States. Tables are given showing tka enormous extent of trade between Germany and Rus- sia, In regard to which Consul General Ma- son reasons as follows: “The pertinent question in this ecnnection 1s how much of this vast total the United States will be able to furnish at prices within the artificial imti now established by the retaliatory tariffs, which, so far as they go, are enactments by both Germany and Russia in favor of all other producing countries, and notably the United States. As to petroleum and petroleum products, it may be assumed that nearly the entire supply which Germany has hitherto de- rived from Russia will be imported, so long us the present status continues, from the United States. Already a large order for lubricating oils was placed with the agent of an American firm by the purchasing agent of the Prussian state railways, which have hitherto purchased their entire sopply in Russia. In 1892, which was agricultu- rally a fair average year In Germany, this country |imported from Russia 21,120,090 worth of rye alone. This year the Getixit jin the German home crop Is greater than in 1892, and the demand will be proportion- ately increased. Rye is a cereal wRich it is always difficult for German importers to find in large quantities elsewhere than in Russia, so that tt may be safely assumed that every bushel of rye that the United States can spare from now until next July will find a ready market in Germany. How seriously the present advance of the grain tariffs will effect Russian exports to Germany will be evident when it is con- sidered that the ordinary German import duty on rye and wheat is 5 marks per 1 kilograms, equal to #2 cents per bushel. Add to this the present retatiatory increase of 50 per cent, and we have a duty of 48 cents per bushel, or a difference of 16 cents per bushel in favor of the United States, ndia and such other nations as have a surplus of rye and wheat to sell. It will be noticed that the imports from Germany into Russia have been hitherto largely manufactured goods, whereas Ger- man imports from Russia have been prin- clpally of the nature of raw materialse Tho import duties on most of them are already so high in both countries that a 5) per cent increase will be practically probibi- tory, provided the supplies which each has hitherto imported from the other can be reasonably obtained elsewhere. Here, then, is a new and timely opportunity ‘which Americqn producers and exporters will as- suredly not fail to study and improve.” +o _____ SUBCOMMITTEES APPOINTED, To Take Charge of the Details of Dis- trict Work.
