THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

The Inadequate and Ridiculous Exhibit Made
by the United States.
Interview with NJ. H De Young.
THE United States exhibit is ridiculous
for a country of its size. standing and re-
sources. The fault lies with the govern
ment's commissioners. Not one of them ap-
peared at Paris two weeks before the expo
sition opened. Before that they had only
two or three clerks there, and they were
hoodwinked and played right and left by
the Frenchmen.
''The United States has no building there
at all. The Argentine Republic has a mag
nificent one, and many nations having not
the tenth part of the importance of the
United States have fine buildings and credit
able exhibits. The United States exhibit is
in the main building. and occupies only
about two-thirds of the space which Bel,
gium has, Our government appropriated
$250. 900 for the exhibit
Il would not like to charge that any of
the money has been dishonesty used. but

THE United States boasts of having more
