farms are worked something after the
methods used i'll Southern France,

making extracts, perfumes. unguents

The women of America have good
reason to be proud of the work the
board of lady managers of the worlds
fair has already accomplished. One
might wish that for the sake of good
taste and our honest Anglo-SaXon moth
er tongue they had taken upon them
selves the honorable name of women in
stead of ladies'; but, no doubt, the name
is the work of the men who incorporated
that special section. Congressman
Springer says that those same men had
but a faint conception of the boards re-
suits or its historical significance.
Barely year has elapsed since the
organization of the board of lady mana
gers. with Mrs. Potter Palmer as presi-
dent, and yet the breadth and scope of
the women's department has expanded
until the EXHIBIT of the department

THE DoMlNIoN's DEFENsEs.
Lord Stanley Demands an Official
Report UDon Them.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 1S.-FollOwing
close upon the announcement that the
United States government intended to
abrogate the agreement entered into
with Great Britain in 1857 and place
fleet of gunboats upon the
great lakes comes the report today that
at the request of the British govern
ment Lord Stanley had demanded all
official report upon the defenses of the
dominion. The military authorities
here naturally attached some interest as
to what the urgency could be that hur-
riedly called for this information.
The request of Lord Salisbury was
communicated through Lord Stanley to
Premier Abbott last week, and the min
lister OF militia promised to have the re-
port ready to be forwarded to the Brit
ish government to-day. For sever
al years past, to use the language
OF prominent military officer
here, the British government
has been hammering at Sir John Mac
donald to strengthen the defenses of
Canada, that in the event of trouble the
dominion might not be solely dependent
upon Great Britain for protection.
This request has not been carried
out to the satisfaction of the Brit
lSh government. 1t is stated OIL
the highest authority that the officer
commanding the dominion forces, Gen.
Herbert, was sent out to investigate the
actual state of affairs, which duty his
predecessors appear to have sadly ne
elected. That the relations existing be-
tween Gen. Herbert and the minis
ter Of militia, Sir Adolph Car
on, are somewhat strained, as
result, is an open secret.
There appears to be little doubt that it
IS the Intention of the British govern
ment to send several regiments to Can
ada shortly. This has been in contem-
platlon for some time. Again, the forti-
hcationS at Halifax. still under the con-
troll of the imperial authorities, are
being strengthened to make that
naval station impregnable The same
policy Is to be carried ont in British
Columbia, but there is some hitch be-
tween the home and the Canadian au-
thorities as to the outlay it will involve.
The naval dockyard at Esquimault, on
the Pacific coast, was Jointly con-
governments, but it has been Ie-
ported to the home authorities
that it is seriously defective in many
particulars. Speaking oil the question
OF defenSes to-day, q prominent official
or the government said that the moment
the United States government abro-
gated the agreement of 1877, which re-
stricted the naval forces of Can
ada and the United States on
the Great lakes to four vessels
each, no vessel to exceed 100 tons bur-
dren, armed with one eighteen pound
gun and increased the strength of their
fleet. on these waters, Great Britain
would run up fleet of her iron-clads to
keep them company.
1t has been suggested that England
has become alarmed at the strong an
nexation movement which appears to
have seized her subjects in Canada. and
Is going to take precautionary measures,

for screens will be done by women and
illustrate the great possibilities of that
branch of art as an opening for the sex.
At the ends of the main gallery are two
fine surfaces for mural paintings, and
the lady managers are hard at work in
their respective states trying to discover
the artists to whom shall be intrusted
so important branch of decoration.
A Tribute 40 Executive Capacity.
The scheme of the women's exhibit in
this building is of itself a tribute TO the
executive capacity of the managers.
Under the classification adopted by the
national commission it will not be pos
sible to have separate exhibit of wonl-
ems work, as all exhibits Of any nature
must he distributed through the main
buildings of the exposition according to
the departments in which they properly
belong. This is entirely satisfactory to
the women because it brings their handi-
work alongside the exhibits of the men
in the same lines. and offers a great OPP
portunity for competitive comparison.
1t has been decided. therefore, TO have
a special exhibit of women's work in
their own building, and the display as
outlined promises to be the sensation of
the exposition.
At the outset an important decision
was made as to the share the colOred
women are to have in making the dis
play. 1t was determined that no dis

ness of legislators to follow the prece-
dent set by congress, and accord full
recognition to the lady manager. Even
in the face of this and kindred obstacles
the thorough organization of the wom-
ELI. their perseverance, and enthusiasm
have achieved wonders, and the women'S
building will contain a record, historic
ally complete, of women's work in all
the tiel'ls of industry of the United
States, Mexico. Europe, India and the
Central American states.
Mrs. Palmer and her colaborerS de-
termined at the very beginning that
everything connected with their partlc-
ular buildings should be woman's handi-
work so far as possible. The competi-
tive designs for the buildings was limit
ed to the women architects of America,
and Miss Sophia Hayden. Boston
architect, was the successful competi-
tor.
The most important competition, how
ever. to which women have been invited
IS for the statuary upon the exterior of
the building. There are to be eight
figures above the roof line and a relief
composition in the main pediments.
The space of this latter work is forty
two feet long and seven feet high,
atfording ample scope for great SYM
bolic design. Then the interior carving

The plans of the managers of these inter

In this great enterprise women are
taking part co-equal with that of men.
The amount of work already done is
enormous, and of it the general public

SLEEPS ON A VOLCANO.
Exciting Times Among the Argen
tine Politicians,

tine Politicians.
NEW YORK, Oct. ia Buenos
Ayres dispatch to the Herald recalls
the fact of Gen. Mitre's resolve not
to allow his name to be used in the
coming campaign. Hardly had his fol-
lowers and their opponents quieted
down from the excitement his an
nOuncement had caused when yester-
day the people were further stirred up
by manifesto from Gen. Roca. also an
nouncing his retirement from politics.
He likewise claims patriotic reasons
as influencing him in his resolution.
Coming so soon after Gen. Mitre's reslg-
nation, Gen. Roca's manifesto has
caused very profound sensation.
Groups of citizens were to be
seen throughout yesterday discus
sing the matter and wondering what it
all meant. Shortly after ROca's an
nouncement was made, the government
was nonplussed by the resignation from
office of Ministers Costa and Carballido.
Their action. it would seem, is to be
followed by further Withdrawals from
the cabinet. 1t is said that nearly
all of the other ministers will
quickly follow the example which
Costa and CarbalIidO have set.
istratiOn has added to the excitement at
tendant upon Gen. Roce'S manifesto.
Rumors assert that the Argentine
Republic is already entering
upon another period of rebellion.
The temper of the populace is such that
riot may break forth at any moment.
The government is we'll aware of the
dangers that beset it and how
little provocation is needed to
start an uprising among the
hot-heads in the ranks of the
opposition. 1t has taken measures to
avert a possible outbreak and to stamp
out revolution at the first signs it shows.
With this pointin view the city garrisons
have been concentrated at PalermoPark.
Great activity is evident on the part Of
the president in this emergency. The
senate has increased the feeling of uu-
rest by holding Il secret session. The
scenes enacted at its meetings are re-
ported to have been interesting and
exciting i'll the extreme. The money
morket has been influenced by the spirit
of rebellion that is abroad, and the gold
premium has advanced greatly. Yes
