®ht gi&e ®ountg Jcraomt M.MeC. STOOPS, Id»uw ud Proprlilofc PETERSBURG. : : INDIANA. Vice-President Hobart’s conditio!? showed little change on the 19th. It was noticeable that he did not sit up as much as usual, but his physicians were urging :him to take every precaution •gainst overexertion.

A dispatch from Washington, on the 21st, said: “The condition of Representative Baird, of Louisiana, remains practically unchanged. He is unconscious most of the time, and the end is expected before long.** It is denied that colored men partook of the Jefferson day dinner in New York on the night of tEe 15th. The report seems to have started from the fact that a colored -man and his son were among the notables on the platform. In Porto Rico a great desire is manifested to learn English. New text books are being published in this country to replace the Spanish books now in use in the schools there. A pedagogical museum and American library has been established at San Juan. Admiral Dewey reported to the navy department, on the 18th, that Lieut. Gilmore and 14 men of the gunboat Yorktown had been ambushed and captured or killed by insurgent Filipinos while endeavoring to rescue a party of 85 Spanish prisoners held at Balem, Island of Luzon. 1 --- A petition is being signed for the pardon of Saul Jacobs, confined in fiing Sing prison on a seven-and-a-half years’ sentence for a crime committed by Hirsch Hoppelman, who has confessed. Jacobs' daughter, Minnie, searched the country until she found the real offender. The steamer Aorangi, from Australia, brought advices, on the 20th, that the commander of the German man-of-war Falke, at Samoa, had been arrested by Capt. Sturdee, and was held prisoner in the British vessel Porpoise. The report was discredited at the war and navy departments. An unexpected delay has occurred in . the negotiations, looking7 to the establishment of an Alaskan boundary modus vivendi which makes the future of the modus quite problematical. Extended conferences on the subject were held in Washington, on the 21st, the result being far from encouraging. { -.- The post office department is preparing to send a supply of stamps to the director of posts for the Philippines, at Manila, for use in the islands to replace the Spanish stamps. The stamps will be similar to those used in this country, but will have the word “Philippines” printed across the face. The case against ex-United States 6enatcr Quay, charged with misuse of public funds, on trial at Philadelphia, was submitted to the jury, on the 20th, on the testimony presented by the prosecution, the defense declining to place witnesses on the standr An acquittal was generally looked for by those who had followed the case. t - _ Secretary Alger announced, on the I9th, that Cuban mortgages had been extended for two years, beginning >tay 1 next. The question of interest on these mortgages was not considered. The action is a.compromise between the planters’ deftnnds and a recent determination of the administration for an extension of one year. It was announced, on the 19th, that Speaker Thomas B. Reed had accepted an offer to become a member of the levy firm of Simpson, Thacher & Barnum, in New York city. It is understood that Mr. Reed will resign his seat in congress and remove to New York. The statement has been made that Mr.' Reed is guaranteed a yearly income of V 250,000.

Before leaving Porto Kico, the insular commission sent a communication to the governor general, Gen. Henry, requesting that ho money should be given to municipalities for sewerage, waterworks, or other improvements, and desiring him to suspend the collection of all taxes and to abstain from special judiciary reforms until its report was filed. The president will soon issue proclamation giving effect to the new ^extradition treaty between the United* States and Mexico, President Diaz taking similar action in Mexico. The text of the treaty has never been made public, but besides providing*"extradition for all crimes, not political, its principal feature is its retroactive effect, covering crimes committed while UO treaty existed. The National Academy of Sciences, sat- a meeting in Washington, on the 19th, awarded the Fifth Watson Medal to Mr. David Gill,, her majesty’s astronomer at Cape of Good Hope. This medal is awarded in cases of work in astronomy of sufficient importance to attract the attention of the whole scientific world. Mr. Gill perfected the application of the heliometer to astronomical measurements. The Vienna Neue Freie Presse asserts that the estate left by the late Baroness Maurice de Hirsch de Ger®uth, who died April 1, has been valued at £ 25,000,000, of which £20,000,000 will be expended in carrying on the various charities founded or fostered by the lsaroness and baron. The Hirsch foundation in New York city receives £240,000 and the institution at (Montreal one-tenth of that amount.

The Louisiana Purchase Celebration by a World’s Fair is How Practically Assured. M ENTHUSIASTIC PUBLIC HEETII8. ro«r U4 a Qurtw Millions In Sight as ths Nucleus of the Fund of SI 5,000,OOO to be Baitrnl, nod the Committee of Two Hundred Promise to Make It •6,000,000.

St. Louis, April 24,—St. Louis gave j undeniable and emphatic approval of an international exposition and world’s fair commemorative of the Louisiana purchase at a grand massmeeting’ Saturday evening in Music hall. The demonstration was. practical, in that the sum of $1,008,170 was subscribed during the evening. Up to ■even o’clock in the evening $1,636,500 had been subscribed and $1,600,000 pledged, so that the total of 4,244,670 was announced at the close of the meeting toward the $5,000,000 with which St. Louis citizens propose to aid the enterprise. The committee of 200 guaranteed to raise enough more to make it an even $5,000,000. There was something of sentiment, too, in the meeting, when round after round of ipplanse, shouts and cries of enthusiasm rang through the great hall in inswer to the appeals from the speakers to the patriotism of the great audience and the prayers for support and indorsement. Men prominent in public and business life were there in numbers. No institution, public or private, but had a representative. Men who control hundreds of thousands of iollars of capital invested in great'enterprises rubbed 'elbows with the small tradesman and householder and manifested like enthusiasm. They filled the seats in the great auditorium on the parquette floor and overflowed into the galleries. The meeting had been called primarily for the purpose of receiving subscriptions to the $5,000,000 fund which citizens propose to furnish for the great enterprise. During its progress ex-Gow David K. Francis gave a general outline of what had been done by the various committees and what it was proposed to do. He represented the executive committee. Fred W. Lehmann, chairman of the legislative committee, told of the passage of an act authorizing the incorporation of the company. He told in detail of the plan to have a charter amendment <md constitutional amendment, whose necessity he explained, to make the fair a possibility. He told also of the promises made by national legislators of federal aid to the extent of $5,000,000. W. H. Thompson, chairman of the finance committee, reported the work done by his committee apd the van- j oils sub-c6mmitteeSs. After the i&eeh- , ing got well under way there was little attempt at restraint. Wild enthusiasm seized the audience, and the demonstrations as the large amounts of the subscriptions were read were surprising and encouraging to those who have done so much to forward the movement. In spite of the fact that the rain fell incessantly during the afternoon and evening, and it was unpleasant both , overhead and underfoot, there was no dampening of the enthusiasm of the vast audience. When such subscriptions as that of W. H. Thompson, president of the National Bank of Commerce, on bbh'alf of the bank, the Planters* Hotel Co., himself and oashivf> of $100,000; of Adolphus Busch, of $50,000; David R. Francis and brother, $40,000, and many others requiring five figures to represent | them, the enthusiasm was boundless and the successful launching of the enterprise seemed to be assured.
