President of the San Francisco Board of
Trade to-day a telegram stating that the

asking whether the latter was definitely set

anything.
Upon receipt of this telegram Secretary

the question with Mr.. Miller. he sent tele-
gram saying that the matter might be con-

the San Francisco commission, consisting
of representative and good San Francisco
citizens, Sc tied upon this site and as Secre-
tary Foster, Attcrney-General Miller and
myself favored it, we felt it was the right
selection and so made the contract with

Proposition for a Grand National Encamp-
ment at the Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO. Oct. q. - 4 large number of
military men from all parts of the United
States met here TO-DAY to discuss the repre-
sentation at the Worlds Fair Of the military
bodies OF the country.
Major General Miles stated that he would
like to have grand national encampment of
100. 600 men at the fair. The European
countries all have gigantic reviews, and the
National Guard. if 1t wishes TO become q
great element of strength, must get to-
gether in national convention. General
Miles thought the Government should pay
for the transportation OF the militia from
the different States to Chicago.
General Ben Truman stated that he was
instructed by the Adjutant- General of Cali
f0rnia to say that the State would send q
regiment here, and that perhaps consider
able money would be raised to defray their
expenses.
A resolution setting forth the expediency
of a military display at the dedication of
the exposition, and also that rs the eXposi-
ton company was to furnish shelter and
subsistence the several States should pay
for the transportation of their own troops,
was introduced. but before any action was
taken the convention adjourned.

a signal for united effort on the part OF
his men, but the Norwegians were equal TO
the occasion, and, bending their backs until
their shoulders touched the cleats, they
saved the few inches they had already
gained.
The Pavilion rang with the shouts of men
and boys when the representatives of the
chilly north defeated the aim of the we'll
drilled Canadians. Time and again the
Norwegans essayed move on the rope in
their favor, and by persistent efforts the
little white spot" moved toward their
goal.
"A grand pull. a long pull and pull Alto

when the award was announced.

PARIS Oct. 2s.-For the last two weeks
the whole European press has been discuss
ing the Monza interview. OF what was
said between the King OF Italy and the
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs several
versions have been given. The Associated
Press correspondent says: Here is truth.
I have spoken with one person who assisted
at this meeting. I am not at liberty TO say
who it was, but am authorized to say that
but three persons were in the room, King
Humbert, NJ. de Giers and Count Nlgra,
the Italian Embassalor at V Jenna. 1t was
Count Nigra who conducted the negotia-
tions at Venice, where he saw De
Giers. who did not wish to take decisive
step before referring to the Car He tele-
graphed to Fredensborg, but the reply not
arriving he thought the Car did not care to
reply. BE left Venice, but at the station at
Verona a telegram was handed him con-
tanning these words: why not"
NJ. de Giers at once descended from the
train and stopped at Verona, where Connt
Nigra Joined him. and it was at the hotel in
that place that 1t was decided that King
Humbert would receive the Russian Minis
ter while the Marquis de Rudini would be
received by his Russian colleague at Milan.
King Humbert received De Giers in small
square salon which was upholstered in light
cloth. After having shaken the Russian
Ministers hands lie unDuttOned his coat,
crossed his legs and said; What does
France want Of US? Every moment there
is some new incident. Now It is pilgrims;
again the Nice manifestation, aud nearly
every day frontier violations. She closes
her markets to US. She wishes TO ruin US.
For what reason? Is it that she has some
thing against Italy? No. it against the mon
archy. Without cessation she speaks OF triple
alliance; without ceasing she tries to make
believe that she is about TO be attacked,
whereas she is the sggressor, We are pa
cifc. We wish for peace. There is not a
single word which concerns Russia in the
treaty with Germany. 1t is only ques-
tiGu OF defense and of defense against
France. We wish for peace; nothing but
peace, protection, social order, peace, peace,
peace"
/. De Giers declared to the King in very calm
aud respectful tone that the Gar also de-
sired peace; that he had horror Of war;
and that he hoped strongly that his reign
would terminate without his having to de-
plOre a bloody war. Then he explained the
understanding between France and Russia,

RELIEF REFUSED.
Help for the Russian Poor Prohibited by the
Government

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The Daily News this
morning has a dispatch from ST. Peters
burg, which says the Minister Of the Inte-
Teor, in declining the proposition of depu-
lation of rich Moscow merchants to form
society for the relief Of the victims OF the
famine in the stricken districts, declared
that anybody attempting to visit tile dis
tricts where the famine prevailed for any
such object as that described would be ar
rested. The Emigration Society has prohib
tied the organization OF relief committees at
certain points. This is supposed to be due
to the fact that reliance upon Government
relief will have bad moral effect on the
peasants, who would decline to work on re-
lief railways, roads, ETC., and spend the
money they receive in drink. They are too
lazy to SOW corn while the ready cash OF the
ia mine fund is procurable.
