LOUIS, Aug. 2 Among the delegates to the Inter- parllamentary conference to be held at the fair grounds next month and which it is hoped to induce to visit California, are the Archbishop of Can- terbury and Lord Stanhope of Great Britain, Baron d'Estournelles Constant and Senator La Biche of France, Bar- ons von Plener and Pirquet of Austria, Count Apponyi of Hungary, Dr. Max Hirsch and P. Haupmann of Germany, J. W. Lund of Norway, Baron Knabbe of Sweden and Dr. Gobatz of Switzer- land. | The matter of securing a visit from these notables is now in the hands of the public bodies of California, having been referred to them by the State commission. All of the South and Cen- tral American republics will send repres sentatiyes. A t from these latter would probably be of particular benefit to California. g | Another one of the big registers sent | | on by the San Francisco committee has been filled, and a temporary one has been supplied Erwin, the com- J.

To sut in all the names of those writing “sublime,” “fine,” “excellent” and so forth after their names would take several columns. Some are used i merely to extend the range of locality. It will be observed from the expres- | sions used that some among the low- |1y were inspired to express their ad- miration of San Francisco. Who these were it will be left for the reader to determine. At any rate they all had enough money to travel quite a dis- tance to St. Louis. Where Red Wing is unfortunately is not stated by the citizen from that place, but it will fit in any locality not covered. T. C.

The visitors to the San Francisce building are largely of the wealthy class, and the entire State of Cali- fornia js benefited through their being attracted to the place. They do not ask about San Francisco only, but many inquire about fruit, olive and wine culture in the State, and are given Information concerning .lands and products of California. The San Francisco building will be responsible for many land buyers going to Cali- fornia.
