. i r. Exposition Officials Resent , the Ruling Made on the "American Section." DECLINE TO OBEY ORDER AFFAIR HA ASSUMED THE - AS- . PECT OF A SERIOUS RUPTURE IN -THE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS pP COUNTRIES. y m it -" Brussels,' April 27.Uepleasantuess has arisen between the American government and the authorities of the Brussels exposition. : i A purely unofficial section of the American exhibltera was organized under the direction of a Belgian who obtained a monopoly . of a certain area of ground in order to sublet lots. When Informed of the situation the state department at Washington com manded the American consul general here to notify the exposition authori ties that no section must be designat ed as the American section, for as the United States is not participating in the exposition, such a !, designation might mislead visitors. Officials Refuse to Obey U. 8. The exposition people refuse to obey the behest from Washington, holding that the question must, be 'settled by the Belgian, government. - Minister Bryan has taken the matter from the consul general's hands In or der to confer, with M. Davignon, the Belgian mWster; of foreign .Affairs. The exposition authorities are angry at the,AmerIcan government, which. although, not participating officially, recently appointed two honorary com missioners, ond of them the secretary of the American legation. Grant Smith, Voices Indignation' at Rule. One of the leading officials of the ex position said: "Belgium spent enor mous sums to be well represented at the St Louis exposition and tt expect ea more courtesy rrom America. "Why,' then. If the description 'Anier lean sections' is not to be allowed, doea Washington appoint honorary commissioners? The exhibltera who rented the ground spent money and want their manufactures displayed un der We sura and stripes, since the American government has declined to spend-any money to participate, we think ft might t least leave us alone and not treat us like outlaws." -. t ce. incident is sure to generate mucn neat unless It Is settled prompt It.

"The Philosophy of Humor, will be the subject of the toast to which George P. Early of Pittsburg, formerly of this city, will respond, at the Commercial club banquet, next Tuesday evening. A telegram was received from Mr. Early today, in which he stated that be would be here, having arranged satisfactorily the canceling of an engagement in the East, which he had for Tuesday evening. With the acceptance of Mr. Early the outside talent for the banquet has been supplied. ' Mayor Edward Burkhardt of Dayton and Governor August E. Wlllson of "Kentucky are the other two speakers from out of the city. The program, in full, will be ready for announcement tomorrow. The committee of the Commercial club which had this matter in charge, is satisfied that the affair will be one of the most entertaining and Interesting yet given. The ladles' auxiliary of the Y. M.

ROAD COST; $60,000 Proposed Improvement to the National Highway Will Total That Sum. WONT AFFECT RATE MUCH The cost of the proposed Improve, ment to the National Road from West Fifth street to the Center township line, under the provisions of the three mile gravel road law, has been estimated at $00,000, it Is said. However, the report of the viewers and the cost has never been officially announced, the road officials baying until Saturday to file their report. ( The cost of the proposed Improvement will fall upon the tax payers of the township. - Should the road cost $00,000 as estimated, the increase In the township tax rate on the f 100 assessed valuation would not be material it is said. ' . '- , " The . county commissioners will consider the viewers' report during the May session, possibly next week. The commissioners have given every indication of acting favorably on the report, and if such Is the case, arrangements for commencing the improvement, this year, will be made immediately. The street car tracks will be placed in the center of the road, being removed from the side as now located.

London Waiting For Roosevelt

But the Date of the Ex-presidenfs Arrival in English Capital Is Not Yet Set Expedition for Treasure.

(BY HERBERT TEMPLE.) London, April 27. No date Is yet fixed for the visit of Mr. Roosevelt to the city of London, but this Inter estlng event will probably occur at tt end of May. . The program, which will follow royal and official precedent, will include reception, luncheon and presentation of the honorary freedom of the city in a golden caket. As Mr. Roosevelt is a foreigner there will not be the same formalities con nected with the presentation of the freedom as is the case when a British subject is the recipient of the honor. , . The announcement that the king of Belgians will pay a state visit to the city when he comes to England is pre mature. His majesty is expected in October, and no arrangements are yet being made in the city. The same re mark applies to the projected visits of other royal distinguished personages, Including the Crown Prince and Prin cess of Sweden the Crown Prince and Princess ' of Rowmanla and Prince Fushimi. The coming season promises many brilliant functions, but it is too early yet to say anything about civic arrangements in London. With the advent of favorable spring weather. Colonel Mackenzie Foss, director of the London syndicate which has undertaken the renewed search for the Spanish Armada treasure galleon Florencia In Tobermory Bay, Is 'making arrangements for beginning operations at an early date. During the past two years he has conducted inquiries personally and through agents In museums and libraries in Britain, Spain and. Italy. - Colonel Foss is bringing to Scotland a number of experienced native divers whom he has employed in the Ceylon pearl fishery. These, men are accustomed to working without dresses (diving) and have hen most successful in locating Isolated banks ' of pearls oysters at considerable depths. Colonel Foss is also looking for an improved ; nnder-water ejectrical : orefinding aperatus suitable to the condition which prevails in Tobermory Bay. He Is confident that the posi

TUFT LlltS IT Barnard Says the President Shines Up to Sixth District's Platform. : CALLS AT4 WHITE HOUSE ' (Palladium Special) Washington, April 27. Republican State Chairman Lee was the guest of President Taft at luncheon . today. Representative Barnard called at the white house this morning and talked over the Indiana situation. - He said the president expressed satisfaction with the platform adopted by the re publicans of the Sixth district. A watch ticks 157,680,000 times in a year, and the wheels travel 3,65 miles. tion of the sunken ship has been located by former salvors to within an area of 400 yards square, and he calculates that the value of the treasure on board is equal to about $12,500,000. Somewhere In America a gang of counterfeiters must literally be coining money by turning out spurious English sixnences and two shilling pieces say the Scotland Yard officials who have not yet succeeded in locating the criminals who are causing the British government great loss. ' Since the great fall In the price of silver the manufac turers of base money have found It profitable to make silver coins of the smaller denominations. A sixpence made of standard coinage silver yields 3 pence profit These false coins are manufactured In large quantities and passed for the most part through the tobacco retailers and tram cars. They are difficult to detect indeed the banks which receive them in considerable quantities from the tramway companies are often unable to pronounce the mcounterfeit. It is believed among experts that considerable false British half crowns and florins are made by clever coiners In Guatamala and other parts of South America, and circulated in the West Indies. Many of the coiB find their way to London and the thickly populated districts of Kngland. It is suggested that to meet the ea&B It would be desirable on the one hand to Increase substantially the reward, coffered for information leading to tne conviction of the coiners and circulators of the bad money. The interest of the state in stopping the evil is Increased by the circulation circumstance that the profit on the minting of silver formerly 6 pence in the ounce is now 2 shillings. i A large hotel for future American citizens is soon to be erected at Liverpool by tire various steamship cqmpaniea whose boats carry immigrants from that port to New York and Boston. ; The hotel will be comfortable and up to date In every way and It is thought that thousands will think of it with a sigh when 'they are the temporary guests of Uncle Sam on Ellis Island.' - - " '
