The Jefferson and Lake Pontchartrain Rail-

suing the city for damages OF any sort, but
simply to eject the city for seven years rent
and sum sufficient to refill a canal, the
stencil from which, for nearly four miles, will
in the course of time entirely destroy the
tract for railroad purposes. Corrupt or igno-
rant officials forcibly take possession OF prop
erty without compensation, and a hue and
cry is raised because of an attempt to eject
the trespasser.

Tie Paris ExpositiOn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Prof. Donaldson, one
tennal Exhibition at Philadelphia, was before
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to- day
and gave his views with reference to the par
ticipation of the United States government In
the Paris Exposition next year. He favored an
appointment of q commission. at the head q
which there should be president invested with
the power to appoint expert artisans to act as
judges. He also advocated sending to the Ex.
position principal curiosities collected in vari.
GUS museums of the government. and stateo
feature would be boxing up the different
articles. He claimed that the first agpro-
priation asked by the Secretary OF State
forty thousand dollars even was sufficient for ne
cessary purposes, and was of the opinion thai
OF thi- sum even $4,000 or 100000 might be
Topped off. The committee have not taken any
definite action in the mater yet.
