WASHINGTON, May General Gof
did not arrive to-day, and the West Vir.
ginians down here are becoming impatient.
They want things settled just as soon as
possible, and the fact that it has been
stated that l41 consuls are to be appointed
this week makes them more anxious that
the General should arrive and state who
he desires to fill these positions. 1t ia gem
orally understood that Major Moore. OF
Clarksburg, and Mr.. Bradley, OF New
Cumberland, are both booked for positions.
j. G. Walks. of Charleston, and U. s.
G. Pitzer, Of Martinsburg, are both making
vigorous efforts to have their names put on
this particular pay roll of the United
States. They are not alone for Mr.. James
j. Peterson, of Huntington, is still here
keeping an eye on his interests and pro-
poses to get there" if he can.
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, is in the
city by the request Of the President. The
open war, which he declared against SEN
ator Sherman, has caused the President to
hesitate, and he is trying all
he can TO heal the differences
between these two gentlemen.
Just whether he can do it or not is a ques-
tion which yet remains to be answered.
The Senator was closeted with the Preei-
dent for over an hour this morning and it
is understood that the President heard one
of the plainest talks about political patron
ego that it has been his pleasure to listen
to for long while. 1t is said that Mr..
Quay told him up and down that party
workers had to be rewarded or there would
be no party.

Full Of Hope for the Future
Of the Republic.

PARIS, May 6.-President Carnot form
ally opened the exposition this afternoon.
The President was accompanied to the ex-
position grounds by the Presidents Of the
Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. The
party were escorted by squadron Of cav
airy. They left the EIysee at 1:3O o'clock,
and an artillery salute announced their ar
rival under the cnetral dome OF the main
exposition building.
President Carnot ascended dais that
had been erected under the dome. He
was surrounded by the members of the
cabinet and members of the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies. M. Trard, the
prime minister, made an address welcom-
ing the President. He declared that the
exhibition exceeded all expectations and
proved that the French people still preserved
all the qualities for which they had been
noted. Despite the acuteness of the eco
nomic crisis, they had been able to collect
a splendid array of exhibits. Although
every government did not officially take
part in the work, most OF them generally
seconded the efforts of private individuals.
In conclusion of his address, NJ. Tirard
extended greeting to the strangers now in
Paris and said that republican France
would show itself hospitable and generous,
treating them not as rivals inspiring jeal-
ousy, but as fellow workers labOTing for
the happiness of humanity.
President Carnot, in his address, referred
to the undsuntable energy of France in
arising from severest trials to fresh indus
trial triumphs. He afterwards inspected
the various departments Of the exhibition.
Ia spite of the extraordinary increase in
population, Paris does not present the
aspect of being crowded, and despite the
inevitable snnoysnces inseparsble from the
period, it is certain that the visitors,
who regard the rights aud sensibi-
hties of Others, will generally
find their own rights and sensbilities re-
spected.
The countries represented by their skill
are, in addition to France and the United
States, Great Britain, Austria, HunRery,
Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Sweden, Den
mark, Norway, Spain, Holland, Bel
GUM, Portugal, Greece, Roumania,
Servia, Egypt, Persis, Mexico,
Brazil, the Argentine Republic,
Bolivia, Chill, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cant
amalia, Uruguay, Paraguay, San Domingo,
Salvador, Hsyti, China, Japan, East India,
Siam, Morocco and Australasia. The un-
represented countries are Germany-an
absence as inevitable as it is deplOrable
and conspicuous-Turkey and Montene-
gro.
The subject matter of the exposition
comprises everything that enters into the
material of civilization. The exhibitors

mitted in the streets. The city is the peO-

HUNGER In THE HOME.
FANISHBD MINERS OF SCRANTON CRY FOR
BREAD.
The Terrible Condition Of Thousands Of Protected
Laborsrs-Srong Men Who Cannot Find
Work and Whose Families
Are Starving.

SCRANTON, PA, May 6.-The lOng-con-
tinued idleness at the mines has caused
much suffering among the poor of the coal
fields and hnndreds of families are desti-
tute. Strong, able-bOdied men with large
families to support are in sore Deed. For
the past six months many of them have not
averaged over $l0a month. The Scranton
Free Press of yesterday gives a sOmbre pic
ture of the destitute condition of the miners
and labOrers, and says:
''The pathetic scenes of the long strike
of years ago, when workmen whose pride led
them TO hide their poverty, brought empty
dinner pals to the mines, are being re-en .
acted now during the few days that the
mines are operated, and it is represented
that grim want Of the most ordinary ne
cessities of life exists in hundreds of homes
In fact the suffering is greater now than
ever it was before.
During the former times of difficulty
many miners were enabled to find work at
ordinary outside labor at least part of the
hours of idleness, but now hundreds of
Italian and hungarian laboreTs who live
in the outskirts Of the city, who live
chesply on the coarsest kind of food, rush
for any kind of employment that comes TO
hand, working at whatever wages they can
get When the poor miner approaches a
contractor or superintendent he finds that
every place is filled and that hundreds Of
applicants have been turned away"
From reports received there seems to be
more suffering in Hyde Park than in any
other section of the city. There coal min
ing is about the only industry. The col
lieries of the Delaware, Lsckawanna and
Western Railroad Company are all stu
ated thsre, and they wolk even less time
than the cOllieries of the other companies
The condition of the poor is most dis
tressing, aud is intensified by the fact that
there Is TO prospects of better times at the
mines before the middle of June, owing TO
the policy OF the coal comb nation of crowd
ing all the years work into few months.

been destroyed by the flames. On the
Hermaptown road near Duluth, every
dwelling for four miles has been destroyed.
II is feared that some lives have been lost,
as incoming farmers report a vast sea of
fire which is sweeping everything before
it. A high wind is blowing, which makes
il impossible for any headway to be made
against the fire. 1t must simply burn
until there is nothing for it to
destroy. Several houses were burned
yesterday near Spirit Lake. A large
number of telegraph poles have
been burned and communication is inter-
fered with. In come places, too, ties on
the track have burned out, making it dan
gerous to move trains South of Ashton

well, the Tamsrsck forest and whatever

Near Hinckley, Mimi, Thomas Campbell

burned about them. They took refuge on
half an acre of plowed ground, but were

that there was quite heavy rain for
few minutes in that vicinity yesterday,
which cleared the atmosphere in Duluth OF
the heavy smoke and checked somewhat
the forest fires in that neighborhoOd, but the
