The Devil ON Exhibition.

The management of the Milwaukee
Exposition, always on the lookout for
attractions, has secured real, live
devil. The imp will be utilized in con-
nection with complete newspaper and
job printing plant, which viii be one of
the features of the coming Exposition.
A daily newspaper, "The Exposition
Bulletin, will be set up, printed and
distributed gratuitcusly in the building.
Editorially it will be earnest and prac-
teal, but not sectarian, and politically
as Independent as paste-pot and shears
can make it.
Most of the exhibitors have taken
possession of their space, and the great
hall resounds with the multiplied noises
OF small army of workmen engaged
in preparing the necessary structures
Applications for space are still coming
in, but vacant spots are very few and
far between, and many of the late COM
ers must be disappointed. Every indi-
cation points to Il very attractive and
successful Exposition.
The great panorama painting, the
Battle of Lookout Mountain" is rapid
ly nearing completion, and the few who
have been permitted a hasty glance at
the unfinished work, or who have es-
capped the watchman's vigilant eye and
stolen furtive view of the monster
painting, are enthusiastic over it.
In this day of interest in Arctic re-
search, it will please intending visitors
to know that Bradford, the famous
painter of Arctic scenery, will not only
send his world known collection of pic
lures, but will come himself, and in a
series of free lectures tell of his person
al experiences in the frozen North.
In view of the unsatisfactory charac-
ter and general unreliability of the news
from the Chinese war, the following
take-off from LIFE is pretty good

LONDON, Aug. ga telegram from
the Chinese Embassy announces that
Chow Chow was bombarded by the
French this morning.
A large army of Chinese laundrymen,
under the command of Li-Like Theduce,
is garrisoned at Too-Lung. This is re-
garded as an unnecessary precaution,
- Admiral Jonnifrenche says that he
has no intention of attacking Too Lung,
but will concentrate his efforts on JUS

The fight yesterday at Hang Hal was
a very hot one-so hot, in fact, that "A
regiment of coolies were sent for by re-
turn mail to reinforce the Chinese, who
have been largely reduced by this ex-
hausting work at Koko-Chelunk and
Chelay-Li. Col. Hi, from the low lands,
with 700 skyrocketS arrived last evening
at Chow-Chow, and confidence is in
measure restored.
Considerable alarm is felt in the town
owing TO the scarcity of food, and the
Coolies have been put on half-portions
of iire-crackers. The mortality among
the Puz-Zules, a friendly tribe. is in
creasing, and the presence of four
cholera germs at the Germans Consu's
has done little to allav the fears of the
people.
New YORK, Aug. 26.-The Chinese
Minister was interviewed yesterday on
the subject, and he expressed his opin-

The French Government insists that,
until the Chinese reduce their tariff on
collars and cuffs from 10 cents to five
cents a dozen, no mediation will be
possible. On the other hand, the Man
darins are firm in the belief that French
China will be injured to such an extent
by further operations that the French
Government will have to put up with
the present laundry rates.
