FRANCE AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

Paris, April 3.-Gcorgcs Berger has presented to the
Chamber of Deputies his report on the work Of The
Chicago Fair Committee. lie says:
The exhibition will have essentially industrial
and commercial character belts the ntcd
states. Foreign exhibitors should aim Ia make "A
good showing of natural and manufactured product
with view to increase export trade rather than 90
strive after medals and diplomas. ThQSe who object
taking part in the exhibition on account OF the
Mckinley law onght to reflect upon the fact that
economic legislation In the United States depends
upon political considerations and therefore that the
present excessive protection may only De- momcntary.
French agriculture will occupy position a. impOr-
tant as any French industry. Horses, COWS and
sheep as well as wine growing products, must figure
at the Fair. \ year since II was doubtful whether
France wOuld take large part In the fair he-
ports from chambers of and trades unions
showed no enthusiasm then. Now, thanks to the
active efforts of the committee of French merchants,
supported 10y the Minister OF Commerce, real interest
has been awakened"
The proposed credit Is likely to be lmmeliatiy
voted BY the Chamber.

march Of the destructive element westward and
acted as a barrier on the south Every building in

some handsome houses on Magazne-st were
destroyed. Hundreds Of people have been left
homeless by the fire, and in many cases
nothing was saved from the burning buildings

by this fire are estimated at S25O,OOO III Is
