tance is fully set forth in the secre
tary of state's letter."
Blaine in his letter called
attention to the following
object 'The establishment of a uni

difficulty has been a lack of uniform
ity in the nomenclature of articles

Portuguese and Spanish. The Pan
American conference of commercial
bureau ot American republics, to be
printed in English, Spanish and Por
tuguese, the expenses of such bureau
to be shared by the several American
republics proportionable to their pop

ment or a Latin-American memorial
library, commemorative of the pan
American conference. The library- to
be established by contributions from
all the governments represented at the
conference. The library to be dedi
cated -at the fourth centennial of the
discover of America.
Blaine requests an appropriation of
2oO,lXX) for a building to be used as a
bureau of, information and library,
said building to contam an assembly
hall for such conference as may bo
held in the future.
He also recommended the organiza
tion of an 'International Union ot the

collection and distribution of commer

represented at Washington by a
bureau called the "Commercial Bureau
of American Republics," and it is to
