Tile -PARIS EXHLRLrLON.


1t is said at Washington that the Admins
tration is Indifferent to the coming French
Exhibition on account of feeling that the
French Government did not treat our Centen-
NAL as handsomely as it deserved to he treated
There were, as all remember, some causes forlr-
ritation last year. but they were not serious, and
were made quite as much OF Ivy Secretary
Fish as their Importance warranted. There
seems to be no reason for reviving them.
Some of the French exhibitors behaved badly
in irving to evade our customs regulations, and
abusing them roundly when detected. Capt.
D'Aufry. one of the Acting French Commits
sioners. wrote some letters about the EXhibi
ton management which were in bad taste,
to say the least; NJ. De S0mmerard, the
French DirectOrGeneral of Exhibitions, did not
come to Philadelphia at all, but staid
at home and wrote $50 it was charged) a pri
vate letter abusive of our people, which got
into print in German newspaper; the French
art display was miserable, and the general ex
hibt was as a whole secOndrate shop-keep-
ing ailair This, if we recOllect, Is the full
catalogue of grievances that used to be re-
hearsed at the State Department in Mr.. Fish's
time 1t really does not seem sufficient cause
for us to assume Il sulky dignity and refuse to
serve our own interests by not going 10 Paris
next year. The De 5ommerard letter was dis
avowed, and, if we are not mistaken, Minister
Washburne received assurances that its alleged
author, who was supposed to be hostile to the
United States, should have no authority over
the American section Ill the Exhibition of
1878. As to the French display at Philadel-
phia, il was not what we had the right to eX-
pect, but we ought not to forget that it was
a great deal better than that of Germany.
Nor should we fail to remember that the
French Government made a magnificent ex-
hibit of its works of civil engineering in a
handsome building of brick and iron erected
at considerable expense-a contribution to
scientific knowledge which 10 other coun-
try took the pains To make.
1t would be childish to dwell upon the dis
appointments, petty quairels and yexations Of
last year, and find in them cause for reject
ing the cordial and pressing invitation OF the
French Government TO take part III The APP
preaching fair. The reason why the Admin
istration has taken no official action to or
ganize an American Department, Is that Con-
gress failed to give 1t any authority IN the
matter Perhaps Che President and Mr.. EyaTts
might have properly stimulated unofficial ac-
ton, in GA belief that Congress would come
to the rcAoAo in October, but they have been
restrained by the general opinion, current in
Europe as well as in tins country, that the Ex-
hibiton would be postponed for "A year, on
account of the war in Turkey and the excite
ment incident to the coming elections in
France. 1t looks now as If the MacMahon
Ministry intends to go on with the fair in
spite of all discouraging conditions. So much
time has already been lost by this county,
however, that it now seems best to wait until

Nh Hayes is not the only President who is fond of
travel. President MaCAiahon has just been making
a tour in the Proyinces-not his first one, by any
means-and he has not been rs fortunate in his
speeches as the American Chief Magistrate. The
complaint about Mr. Iiayess little orations that
there was not enough IN them, but hacSiah0n's
critics find altogether too much in the remarks OF
the Marshal-Presdent. They discover an asser-
ton OF per.ona power wholly inconsistent with the
theory OF the French Republic. All the Republican
newspapers complain of their dictatorial tone, Of
Their implied assertion of the supremacy Of the Ex
eeutiye power aud of their negation of the parlia
nentary regime established by the Constitution Of
1878. The Marshal talks just Napoleon Ill used

Sitting Bull is reported as again on the war =
path. his warriors having refreshed themselves
during their vacation on Canadian soil. 1t
may prove a troublesome business for the small
force which can be brought against them; in
deed the fact that our army is so small is be-
leved to have been reported to Sitting Bull,
and to have encouraged him again to take the
field. A general uprising of the Indians would
be serious matter III the present reuuctu
state of the army. But there is the grain OF
comfort that the Commission that was to treat
with the old savage will now come to an end.
In view it might be said, Of two provinces,
the fight in the Balkans continues. Sulelman
Pasha comedies that the Russians still hold the
Shipka Pass but he asserts that he has hemmed
then in on three Sides and that only
their line of retreat to GabrOva is open.
The most desperate fighting has been for the
hill of Alibred Jebel, to the left of the Russian
Notifications. On Wednesday, the 2lst in
slant, the second day of the conflict, the
Turks captured this position Two days
later, the Russians drove them from
it. On Sunday morning last, the Turks re-
gained it after desperate fighting, LOCO Rus
SLAMS being killed in the combat. The Turks
have since held this vantage ground, and have
advanced their entrenched lines within 80
PAGES of the Russian defences. The situation
could not be more critical. The opportunity the
Russians have had to send up renfOrcements,
however, gives reason to expect that they Will
hold their own.

Three railway accidents are reported this
morning, one of them, near Des MONIES, Iowa,
involving tie loss of at least eighteen lives.
These occurrences often take place in clusters,
but it is quite possible that the recent excite
mepts among railway employees have partially
untitled the men for their duties, and that
some of them are less careful than usual.
Austria. as was expected. is disposed to wait
for some real grievance before making show
of hostility against Russia The Servians have
deferred to her so far as to limit their con-
templated warfare to the lines of the Drina
and Timok. As these are exactly the places
where their troops can DO most good, the
Servians lose nothing by their polite course.
Although Russia is only in the fifth month
of the war, her paper currency has been
swelled to $6lO,OO0,O00, a sum only within
$4,000, 900 of the legal-tenders in circulation
here in 1866, after a conflict which had
lasted four years. AS it is expected that Rus
STA will have to issue 1929, 100000 more III
paper money should the war last till Autumn,
IL is obvious that the strain on her resources
is very great and that her credit is i'll serious
danger. Her internal resources are, however,
almost inexhaustible.
The rifemen at CreedmOor are engaged in
surprising themselves. Gen. Dakin yesterday
made the highest official score that has ever
been recorded, and the eight leading men Of
the American team all exceeded 200 in their
scores. The Crescent City Club keeps well mp
in the contest for honors, Mr. Selph's shooting
being almost as remarkable as on Tuesday,
aud another member of that team scoring 205.
TIE British team are getting well into their
work, and have considerably improved their
average.
MANY curious facts that viii afford material
for students of statistics are supplied by the
compilation Of the expenses of the Navy since
the foundation OF the Government. As yet
the subdivision of the accounts has not pro-
ceeded far enough to show what portion Of
these expenditures may be cited as having
produced anything permanent; construction Is
not separated from repair, and the " miscel-
"laneousr item is very large but it is easy
To see that the great buik of the money goes
for service, or Cor materials OF temporary
kind.
