Missouri to the Front.

Missouri does not propose to take
a back seat at the Columbian expo.
siticn in 1898.
This is especially gratifying in
view of the fact that st. Louis was
one of the chief contestants for the
worlds fair before the question of
location was decided by congress.
The metropolis of Missouri made
gallant fight, but when it failed to
get the coveted prize it did not In
dulge in long-drawn-out lamenta-
tions nor in lmpotent snarilng at the
successful competitor after the un-
happy fashion of the present na-
tlonal metropolis. 1t accepted the
situation gracefully and prepared to
make the best of it. 1t recognized
the fact that il the exposition could
not come TO it, there was nothing to
prevent Its going to the exposition.
The state of Missouri. felt the
same way about 1t. 1t would have
been pleased to have had the great
fair in st. Louis or Kansas CITY,
but that being out of the question,
it determined to send big exhibit
of Its own to Chicago, and thus ad-
vertise its own resources as effect
ually as if the exposition was held
within ITS own borders.
MIssourI's course is directed by
simple business sagacity. By pro-
vldlng liberal amount of money
for g state building on the fair
grounds, and for the expenses of
supervising commission, it assures
for itself Il creditabIe exhibit,
Nothing is left TO chance. A good
display Is made certain, and splen-
did one extremely probable. In
Kansas, on the other hand, the leg
islature made no appropriation for
the worlds fair. The Grasshop-
per state will be represented no
doubt, through the agency of prl-
vate enterprise, but the parsimony
of its Jerry Simpson Legislators,
throws more or less doubt upon the
character of its display. Missouri
wisely declines to run the risk of
making fiasco.
The location Of the worlds fair
in this city was not triumph for
Chicago alone, but for the entire
West. Now let the West show that
it appreciates the honor, and make
display worthy of its boundless
resources. Missouri has shown q
Willingness to do her share. If the

The PeHiteHti0YY.

We are IN receipt of the biennial
report of the Missouri penltentiary,
recently submitted by Warden John
L. Morrison to the state board of In
spectors of that institution.
We compile few facts from the
report for the readers of the CoUR-
TER.
The penitentIary was established
in 1886, and during that year but
eighteen inmates were admitted to
the institution, and in 1887 twenty
seven, making a total for the two
years of forty five.
The greatest number of prisoners
received for'aDy two years since that
time was in 1SS7-SS, when 1852
we're turned over to the warden Hnd
his assistants.
In 1889 80 the rumber reached y
44S, showing a decrease in the two
former years of eightyfour.
The total number Of prisoners ad-
mitted since the penitentlary was
founded in 1886 up to December Slst,
1890, Is II .Ss1, making an average
of fractional rise of 331 prisoners
a year for the fifty-four years Of the
penltcntlary's existence.
On the 31st of December, 1890,
there were ] ,6S6 inmates, of which
1,645 were males and forty-one fe-
males.
The total number of prisoners dis
charged during lSS9-90 was l,59S,
while the number received for the
corresponding period was 1,434,
decrease of 159.
The prison is becoming more and
more self.sustainIng, and Warden
Morrison is of the opinion in the
light of possibilities that, in the not
very remote future, it will be kept
up entirely by Its own resources.
In 1SS7-ss appropriations were
made by the state amounting to
s167, ,258.46 over and above the earn
iDgs of the prison to maintain it,
while In 18s9-9O the expense to the
state was S1lS, ,280S8, decrease of
48,977.58. The total cost OF main,
tenance of prisoners, and of salaries
of officers, for 1889 80 was S439, ,498.
II; new buildings, s34 ,6S2 Sc, max
ing total cost of s474, 1871 OF, while
he total earnings were 1855, 900. IA.
The average number of convlcts
employed day by contractors dur
Ing l8S0-90 was 1,122. The prices
paid for convict labor range from 80
cents to 60 cents 8 day, In most
cases the price is so cents day.
Tue health of the prisoners is good,
the death rate only being about 1!
per cent, for l8S9-90.
The spiritual welfare of the cen
victs is looked after by Rev. o. w.
Gauss, the chaplain, and In his re-
port he makes good showing Of his
work and expresses the belief that a
religious sentiment is increasing
among the prisoners.

THE BERING SEA SUIT.
Supreme Court Grants Temporary Writ
of Prohibition.

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 2.-Chief Justice
Fuller today announced that the supreme
court had decided to grant the petition of
the counsel representing the British gov
eminent, for leave to file an application
for a writ of prohibition to prevent the
district court of Alaska from proceeding
to carry out its decree of forfeiture made
in the case of the schooner hayward IL
beled for unlawfully taking seals within
the waters of Bering sea. The court asked
counsel as to what date the rule requiring
the Alaska court to come here and show
cause why the writ of prohibition
should not issue, but should be made
returDable, and by mutual agreement the
rule was made returnable the second Nom
day in April. This settles the preliminary
question of the right to Bering sea in court,
and the matter now to be settled is whether
or not the court will decide that the writ
of prohibition should issue. There must
now be an argument on the merits of the
Bering sea controversy. In announcing
the determination of the court, the chief
justice said that the argument had taken a
much wider range than was necessary, and
that the court was of the opinion that it
had jurisdiction by way of prohibition
under section 6SS of the revised statutes TO
review the proceedings of the Alaska court.

to make up the S15,Ooo,0oO that will be
necessary. Treasurer Seeberger is not at
all alarmed, and predicts that the extra
money will be easily raised in Chicago.
1T has never been a secret that we should
need 600 to run the exposition"
said Mr. Seeberger, land we have long
been preparing to scrape together that
amount. 1t will not be necessary to go
outside of the city to raise the amount
There are hundreds of wealthy men whom
our solicitors have never reached yet We
will also call upon men who have large
property interests here but do not live
here, and have no doubt that they will
pay up handsomely. Then there are many
wealthy men here in the city who have no
places of business and who are chiefly
occupied in clipping off bond coupons
These have not been reached, but they will
be in time. The railroads, or the fifteen OF
them that enter the city, have subscribed
$780, There are six or seven more to-
hear from. and altogether they will proba-
bly, double the sum. When building
operations begin great many men who
have not already subscribed will take
stock, and have no doubt that the neces-
sary $l5,000,000 viii be raised without

and the construction of two mortar batter
les of sixteen mortars each, back of and on
mament, in such a position, he added,
would give the city command over war
vessels, which might lie outside and shell
San Francisco. The land selected by the
colonel is fifty-fve acres of the southwest
corner of the city cemetery, which would
have to be condemned, but which is con-
sidered by the engineer corps essential to

EMIN PAsHA's FAILURE.
Extravaganza and Disregard of Orders
Made His Expedition FruitIess.

reports to the middle of November last.
These reports form record of extrava-

flag at Taboria, in spite of Commissioner
Sehmidt's efforts to dissaude him, the
commissioner Directing on the ground of
the great expense.
Emin spent ZOO marks, instead of the

complains of the ins,ifficiency of his sup
plies, owing to which, he says, his men
were becoming mutinous. He therefore
declines responsibility for the failure of the
