PARIS FAIR OPENED.

INTERNATIONAL SHOW IS FOR. MALLY INAUGURATED. Exhibition Building* Still Unfinished and Exhibits Not Yet Inatalled-The United States Makes a Moat Creditable Showing—Chicago Strike Growing. The world’s exposition at Paris was formally opened Saturday, although mfiny buildings have not been finished and many exhibits are not in place. The exposition will be the largest and most attractive ever held in Europe. For a fortnight or more work on the exposition has been pushed night and day by armies of masons, plasterers, painters, glaciers, carpenters and other workmen, and while in some respects the exhibition which opened its doors officially Saturday is far from being completely in order, it probably approaches that condition at least as nearly as the Columbian exposition did at its official opening of ’93. Correspondents say that if the end

of next tnonth sees all the exhibits in place and the fair fully inaugurated in all its splendor, the authorities may be congratulated on their success. The exposition is planned on a vaster scale than any previous orje, with the sin«Je exception of the Columbian exposition. American visitors will not, as at some previous fairs, have any occasion to blush for the exhibit this country makes at Paris. With the exception of France itself we have the greatest number of exhibits, numbering nearly 7,000 in all, while Germany, the next in number, has only about 3,000, and England only about a third as many as Germany. The United States pavilion also will probably carry off {he honors as one of the gems of the fair. Its interior decorations alone cost $30,000. Altogether, the United

GRAND PALACE OF FINE ART AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

States section is likely to be the most creditable dmplay this country has ever made across the ocean in that picturesque bazaar of nations called a world’s fair. As far as recorded there are 30,000 exhibitors from France, 6,564 from the United States, 2,500 from Belgium, 2,(AM) from Germany, 2.000 from Italy, 1,500 from Russia, 1,400 from Norway and Sweden, 1,000 from Austria, 600 from Great Britain and 600 from British colonies. Up to this time the United States has shown more interest in the exposition than any other country except France. The exposition opens with about 50,000 exhibitors on the books, against at the World's Fair in Loudon in 1851, 4,100 at the World’s Fair in New York in 1853, 23,054 at the World’s Exposition in Paris in 1855, 28.653 at the World's Fair in London in 1862, 50,226 at the World’s Exposition in Paris in 1867, 70,000 at the World's Fair iu Vienna in 1873, 30,864 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in lq7B, 40,866 at the World’s Exposition in Paris in 1878, 55,000 at the exposition in Faris in 1889, and 65,422 exhibitors at the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893. The World’s Fair in I-ondon in 1851 occupied twenty-one acres; that in New York in 1853, thirteen acres; that in Paris in 1855, twenty-four acres; that in London in 1862, twenty-three acres; that in Paris in 1867, thirty-seven acres; that in Philadelphia in 1876, sixty acres; that in Paris in 1878, 100 acres; that in Paris in 1889, 160 acres; that in Chicago in 1893, 633 acres. The grounds of the present exposition in Paris are greater in extent than the grounds of 1889, but do not compare in extent with the grounds of the Columbian exposition in 1893.

SHIPPER MUST PAY THE TAX.

Court Decide* Stamp Cane in Favor of Eiprcw Compuni**. The United States Supreme Court de elded the cases involving the stamp tax aa it applies to express i*ackages, the question involved being whether the shipper or the carrier shall pay the express charges on packages. The opinion was handed down by Justice White, and was favorable to the express companies. The case came to the Supreme Court from the decision of the State Supreme Court of Michigan, which decision was adverse to the claims of the express companies. William F. Horner of Seattle, who has been serving aa a private in the Fourteenth infantry in the Philippine* tor th<‘ past five months, ia the proud possessor of a gold ring given him by Maj. Gen. Lawton for his brave defense of the Fint Reserve hospital at Bacoor on the evening of Nov. 27, 1899. The Advent' conference at Westbrook. Me., decided that women may preach, but cannot be ordained.

PARIS EXPOSITION FACTS.

THE Paris exposition originated in a notion of M. Jules Roche, Minister of Finance, who, in July, 1892, proposed ths plan to President Carnot. On July 13 of the same year the President Issued a decree announcing a “universal exposition of works of art and of industrial and agricultural products” in 1900. & Eight years have been consumed in the preliminary preparations and In the actual construction of the buildings. The total coot of the exposition proper has been >27,000,000 (135,000,000 francs). Of this sum the government gave 20,000,000 francs, the city of Paris a like sum and the remainder was raised by an issue of popular bonds. It is estimated that 60,000,000 people will visit the show and that strangers will spend about >200,000,000 in Paris during the time of the exposition. About >10,000,000 has been Invested in side shows and amusement enterprises outside the grounds. All the buildings. Including the Paris "Midway," occupy an area of 300 acres. Bpace allotted to the United States, 200,000 square feet. Appropriation of the United States Government, >1,210,000. Duration of the exposition, from April 15 to Nov. 5, 204 days. Number of classified exhibit groups, 18. Number of buildings, including pavilions of foreign states, 65. Foreign powers co-operntlng, 42. Number of regular exhibit buildings, 28. General admission to the grounds wilt be 1 franc (20 cents) between 10 a. m. and 0 p. m. At other hours the admission will be 2 francs In order to prevent too great crowding. But tickets may be purchased outside the grounds at much cheaper prices.

CHICAGO STRIKES INCREASE.

Mayor Harriaon Blamfea Both Unions and Contractors. Frank Riepol, a non-union Chicago laborer employed by the Western Electric Company, was probably fatally injured by four men, supposed to be union pickets, who assaulted him, one after the other, as he was gong home from work. The men were not arrested. The Building Contractors’ Council announce that the men employed on the Western Electric building will be housed and fed in the same manner as those employed on the Merchants’ Loan and Trust building. All of the prominent members of the Contractors’ Council are protected by police. Many are also lurrying revolvers. Police Inspector Hartnett supplied them. It ia claimed that the police heard of a plot to assault some of the members of that body. Officers in citisens’ clothes are closely following these men to protect them from injury. An attempt by the contractors to bring labor from other States to work on Chicago buildings was foiled Monday when the union pickets intercepted twenty Italian workmen imported from New Orleans and persuaded them not to go to work at the Western Electric building. The men when they arrived at the building were met by a delegation of their

countrymen, and after a parley were led away. The prospects of working behind a stockade and in fear of violence from union pickets was also a factor in getting them to desert’. Mayor Harrison says that the labor unions, contractors and material dealers are all wrong, but that the workingmen have the least to answer for. The Mayor says that the reports of labor troubles are keeping people away from Chicago. He adds: “It is argued that the labor unions constitute a ’trust.’ Why, the material men and contractors have been the parties who have formed the ’trust.’ Today not a single thing ia bought by the city but we run up against a combination controlling the needed article. I know men who have sent orders from outside points and had goods reshipped to this city at -a cost less than they would have to have paid in a direct purchase. This thing has gone ao far that we have ordered city purchases shut off as far aa possible. We will try the Eastern markets.’’

HILLIS IS NOW OUT.

Noted Preacher'* Reaixnation Accepted by ChicuKO Pre4T>y tery. • Newell Dwight Hillis is uo longer a member of the Chicago presbytery or the Preabytterian Church. The name of the Brooklyn preacher, who dared to renounce th* confession of faith of that church, was erased from the role of the presbytery at its weekly meeting Monday morning. Dr. ('hurley H. Parkhurst of the Madiaou Square Presbyterian Church, New York, has joined Dr. Hillis in bis opposition to the Westminster confession of faith and in his sermon Sunday he said things which provoked comment. Apparently these two divines are far from being alone. frrqpent accessions to their ranks.Trlx-iug announced in Cleveland Sunday, by way of illustration, that Rev. S. P. Sprecher and Iter. Paul F. Sulphi-n, delegates to the Presbyterian general assembly, would favor the adoption of a shorter creed. The demnnd for u new creed is pointed out by some as showing the trend of modern thought ia the church, and it is evident that those favoring the action will be satisfied with no minor changes. They will ask for a new creed—a short one—and the question will be one that will inqkc the coming conference of unprecedented interest.

Interpreter D Ist rift Court, salary not fixed. All of these officials, with the exception of the members of the Legislature, who are elected, and the clerks and interpreters of the courts, who are selected by the judges, are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate? It is the purpose of the President to select native Porto Riearik for these offices so far as possible, but it is probable that the first lot will be men of experience in administrative affairs in the United States. While it is not necessary* it is advisable that they should speak the Spanish- language. A traveler recently returned to this country from the Philippines gives an interesting description of the graceful carriage and walk of the women in that place. "As a rule the women of all classes are as straight as the wall of a house, if not straighter. A plumb line dropped from the nape of the neck would, in most instances, fall well behind the heels. But the gait is a peculiar swing which is quite noticeable. Some charge this, as weH as the straightness, to their habit of carrying all burdens, from a cake of soap to a house and lot. on the top of the head. That is probably the cause of the erect bearing, but 1 think the peculiar gait due to a certain swingof the limbs required for keeping the shoes on the feet. The local woman’s shoes consist usually of a flat sole with a toe cap. Sometimes the cap has room for all the toes; sometimes not. Often the sole is raised from the ground by wooden heels and soles —blocks like, but lower than those used by the Japanese. Stockings are not usually worn."

A correspondent of Leslie's Weekly, who has trudged about the island, gives these-condensed facts about Guam: Not a newspaper is published in Guam. There are fourteen horses in Guam. Guam has sixty soldiers and as many carbines. There are fifty natives of the Carolines who live in Guam. They are absolutely improvident. There is one good road in Guam, six miles long, extending frflm Pili to the capital. There are two dozen bullock carts in good repair in Guam. There are uow two Spaniards in Guam. Guam has a population of 5,000. The subsidiary currency at Guam is worn, chopped and bitten until its early respectability is open to question. Guam is a free port. There are two Japanese on the island. They own the principal stores. There is one Chinaman in Guam. He is the sole proprietor of the only A No. 1 investment on the island —the distillery.

Prof. A. E. Frye, superintendent of public schools in Cuba, has come to the United States to arrange a trip for 1,000 of these teachers to this country during the summer. His plan is to spend six weeks at Harvard with the teachers and then take them to New York, Chicago, Washington and then back to Cuba. Discussing the results of his work in Cuba, he said: "On March 1 we had 3,099 schools in operation, with 130,000 children in attendance. I appointed Cuban teachers because it was necessary to teach in Spanish and because they helped to support many needy families. We hope to add English to our course of study and night schools for adults have already been started.” It Is estimated that the cost of fighting the plague in Honolulu will reach at least $2,000,000, a large part of these expenses having been incurred in finding homes for the people who were burned out by the fires, particularly the great conflagration on Jan. 20. Eight hundred Japanese residents who were burned out In that fire have petitioned the Government to exempt them from taxes for the year 1900. If the request is granted it would lie to open the way for similar claims on the part of some 10,000 Chinese and nearly as mauy natives. Private Elliott Hook was cooking a beefsteak at Caloocan when a Mauser bullet mi the pan in which the steak was sizzling, knocked it about a rod and sprinkled Hoqk with hot grease. The disappointed soldier immediately loaded his rifle and watched aU day long to get a shot at the rebels, saying to-bls comrades: "I went into this war at the call of my country, but since that fellow spilled niy meat it has become a ’perganal matter.'" And so he regarded it rstil he sailed away from Manila. Rear Admiral Philip say* that once when his flagship lay in New York harbor he was walking the quarterdeck when a sailor approached him and asked permission to fratl a yarht which had anchored near by. "Why do you wish to hail her?" aaid the admiral. “Because 1 own her,” was the unexpected reply. The sailor was n young New York swell who had joined the navy to fight Spain. Dr. Charles F. Mason, a volunteer army surgeon, writes from the Philippines to the Medical Record that there la danger of the communication of variola and smallpox In this country to friends of soldier* through souvenirs sent to them. He says that these diseases are almost universal there among all class**, and that the people have their own looms ia their born**, and manufacture many varieties of flu* “josl" and “pina” cloth, which ar* much sought after by American soldiers and by them sent through th* mails to their frienda.
