The Melbourne international
Exhibition.

Australia celebrates the centenary of
her settlement by a grand International
Exhibition at Melbourne, commencing
August 1st next, and continuing for SIX
months. Congress has appropriated
$4,000, will appoint commissioners to
represent the United States, and 1t is
hoped that very many private firms will
make exhibits. The government of Vic
toria controls the exhibition and gives
space and steam for motive power free.
The exhibition building and annexes
will cover twenty-four acres of ground
and the display, both local and from for
eigu countries, will be the largest ever
seen in the southern hemisphere.
Goods for exhibition are admitted duty
free. Australia is a Iich and growing
country. American goods sell well
there, and the comparative nearDess OF
Australia to America should inspire our
business men to control her markets.
Mr.. John NJ. Ives, who for the past three
years has been III the antipodes as man
ager for ths well known Safe Cure
House of Ii. Fl. Warner & Co, has Just
returned with letters from the chief
secretary and commissioners; also blank
applications for space. which he will be
| pleased to send free on application to
| him at Rocester, n. Y. Applications
should be made at once, 8 goods must
be in position not later than July first
| next.

PRESIDENT HARRIS TALKS.


San FRANCIsCo, April 20.-RSesi-
dent Robert Harris, of the Northern
Paciic, last night in conversation
said that his company had not
mapped out aGy branch system to be
built in Washington territory, nor
mad 1t any idea when it would secure
an entrance into Winnipeg, Manito-
ba, with the assistance of the Cana
dian line. His company had already
completed a branch line from its
main line in Minnesota northward
via Grand Forks to the Canadian
border. All now depended on the
Manitobs people building to a CON
necuion with this branch, and proba-
bly, that might soon occur from the
the fact that the Canadian Pacific
railway by which its exclusive right
to operate in the country from Win
uipeg south to the United States
border had been relinquished.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
SAN FRANcIsco, April 20. - The
statement is published here that c.
p. Huntington and Charles Crocker,
during their circuitous visit to the
Puget Sound country, secured sever
al undeyeloped but promising coal
mining properties, which, it IS said,
will give the Southern Pacific an ex-
cellent supply of coal. The new ac-
QUESTIONS are said to be on both sides
of the border line of British Colum-
bia, the property being near Depar-
ture Bay. It is also stated that the
Southern Pacific is having plans pre-
pared for the construction of three
tirst-class steel colliers which are TO
exceed in size anything now on the
coast. No estimate of their cost has
been made, but it is thought that the
cost will be over half million dol
lars for each steamer The colliers,
it is stated, ara intended to ply to the
new mines and possibly to the old
mine at Tacoma.

FIRE IN LOWELL, MASS.
Two Large Buildings Owned BY the City De-
stfoyed.

Two Large Buildings Owned by the City De-
stroyed.
LOWELL, Mass, January 1.-Two
large, four-story, brick houses were
totally destroyed by fire this morning.
The buildings were occupied by the Fire
Department and by companies c. and
G., Sixth Regiment, as an armOry. In
the buildings were 1000 rounds of cart
ridges, which kept up a constant fusi-
lade, and several kegs Of powder, which
exploded with such force as to be heard
all over the city. Both buildings were
completely gutted.
The fire alarm telegraph system was
rendered useless and every electric light
was extinguished. The electric light
station was in close proximity to the fire
and the wires We're destroyed. The
buildings were owned by the city and
valued at $4,000. The uniforms of
companies c and G, together with their
arms, were totally destroyed. At 3
O'Clock this morning, when the fire was
under control, the roof Of the adjoining
building was broken in by the falling
walls of the burning structure, and its
contents will be a total loss. 1t was oc-
cupied by grain and hay dealers. 1t is
now thought that SO, 900 will cover the
total loss. The city buildings were not
insured. All the fire apparatus was
saved. but the firemen lost nearly all
their personal effects.
