The PrebIe Case.

Boston, September 30-There were three
or four spectators Of the continuation OF the
Bates Preble case before Judge Colt In the
United States Circuit Court room In Federal
building this afternoon. A little after 2
O'Clock slightly scuffiing step was heard,
and Gen. b. +. Butler, counsel for the plain
tiff was seen tripping across the floor to his
seat at the bench.
Counsel Samuel Hoar made the FIRST argu-
ment for the defendant in opening the peti.
tion for new trial. His point in favor Of
the motion hinged on what he considered an
illegal and improper computation Of interest
at compound and various rates on the
amount in question.
In all, this compounding Of interest
amounted, he claimed. to between $4,000 and
$1,000, an item sufficiently large In his Judg-
ment to deserve correction.

ton in Connection with the Con-
gress.
WASHINGTON, September 30.-Ex-Gov. Nc
Creary of Kentucky, chairman in the last
House of Representatives of the committee
on foreign affairs, expressed the following
view last night, in regard to the proposed
International exposition: ''The exposition
should not be simply the single commemora-
tion of great historical event, the greatest
in modern times, but it should be lasting
monument of our industrial and civic great
ness as grand division of the world. The
world is now used to international exhibi-
tions. The last two or three congresses
p assed, think. measures looking to our re-
presentation in three of them, the latest in
Australia and to commemorate itly Western
progress during the 400 years since Columbus
discovered this continent we require grand
perpetual worlds fair, which shall adequate
ly represent our ever-increasing resources.
This idea of permanency might well in
fluence the choice of location. [ want
now. to dwell upon the grandeur of
the interests involved, and the wonderful
Value ol Iuo CtltDrdLiOn In 1897 as promoter
of development. Already we have railroad
lines from this country into Maxico. Soon
they will extend through Central America
into South America, to intersect there with
the trans-continental lines which have been
planned and partly built. The great pros
porous republics Of Chilli and Argentine are
soon to be in communication with all Peru
and Bolivia. These railways fill a demand
for a connection on the north, and l predict
with absolute confidence that in ten years
the three Americas will be knit together by
ties Of steel and iron. 1t is destiny.
'These people are nearer to us, by reasons
of neighbOrhood and similarity of govern
ment than others. They look to us as the
leader in all such enterprises, because we
are the mightiest of republics and the Oldest
and strongest of Western governments.
Our interest and sympathy, apart from in
terest. call for action. The congress that
convenes here this week will TAX new step
in international affairs. 1t will, first of ali.
lay the foundation for free interchange OF
raw products, ours for those of each Of the
nations south of us. In course OF time
doubtless there will be reciprocity as to
finished products the manufactures as we'll
