WORLDS FAIR NOTES


A $50 900 monument to Columbus, de-
signed by Sculptor Howard Kretsoh-
mar, of Chicago, will be erected in Lake
Front park.
Many relics of the Cabots, the early
English voyagers to America, will be
exhibited at the exposition by COM
mittee formed for that purpose in Bris-
tol, England, where the Cabots lived.
Great Britain's buildings at the expo
sition will be typical specimen of a
picturesque, half tilnbered English home
of the time of Henry VIII, or about the
period which the Worlds fair will COM
memorate.
AThe exposition probably will not have
an Eiffel tower or anything approx
mating it in height, except the elevation
to which the balloons will ascend. There
will be, however, three observation
towers about 300 feet high
AT the special request of the empress
of Germany the Princess Frederick
Karl, aunt of the emperor, has accepted
the presidency of the women's commits
sion, which will cooperate with the
board of lady managers in promoting
the women's exhibit at the fair.
A glass punch bowl, made by the
glass blowers of Cork in 1926, and pre-
sented to Daniel O'Connell, the famous
Irish patriot, will appear in the exhibit
from Cork. One side Of the bowl bears
O'Connell's initials and the other rep
resentation of Cork as it then existed.
A matchmaker of Warsaw, Poland,
has spent six years in the production of
a wonderful clock which will be exhib-
tied at the fair. 1t represents railroad
station, with moving employees, passen-
gers, and all the hustle and excitement
incident to the departure of train,
which leaves every fifteen minutes.
The Illinois womans exposition board
contemplates novel exhibit as part of
its work, in the form of a model home.
The idea is to show the ideal conditions
that should surround a woman's life in
the household and demonstrate the IA
cilities that can be provided at mode
rate cost. The women of Philadelphia
have project of similar character.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is
having an elaborate display made for
the exposition. 1t will include models
of the rolling stock and motive power.
showing its construction of the first
fourteen miles, which were opened for
traffic May "a, 1927, from Baltimore to
Ellicott Mills, when strap iron was
nailed to wooden stringers, and the two
or three open coaches, which We're called
wagons, were hauled by horses. The
next stop will show the York" the first
locomotive constructed.
The reproduction of Columbus cara
vel, the Santa Maria, is being built by
the Spanish government at the Caracea
yard at Cadiz. Great care is being taken
with details, and the instruments and
appliances of the time of Columbus will
be in their places aboard the caravel.
The Pinta and Nina, it is announced, ARE
being reproduced by American capital,
so visitors to the exposition will be able
TO see the columbus feet" complete.
The Spanish government will provide
crews for the three caravels, dressed as
were Columbus sailors.

SALISBURY THE PRoTEcToN1sT


LONDON, May 23.-Since Robert Peel,
In 1848, decreed the abolition Of the
corn laws and the virtual establishment
Of the system of free imports no prime
minister has taken SO bold step as
Lord Salisbury in his speech at Hast
ings, for he announced that Great Brit
ain cannot go on much longer fighting
hostile tariffs with free imports, and
that she must adopt a policy of retalia-
ton. His words admit of no possibility
Of being misunderstood.
After contending that the principle of
taking in the goods of all nations duty
free might be very noble, but it was not
business, he boldly crossed the dividing
line and said:
Il would impress upon you that if you
intend in this conflict of commercial
treaties to hold your own, you must be
prepared in these days to inflict upon
nations who injure you the penalty
which Is in your hands of refusing them
access to your markets"
This memorable declaration was re-
ceiyed with prolonged cheers by the au-
dience as the beginning of the end of
bogus free trade in England.
Lord Salisbury, as the head OF the
Tory party, advises the people to accept
it, and observe the time he chooses for
this new departure, the eve of the gem
eral election. He practically is willing
t. make retaliatory duties one of the
issues on which his appeal to the people
is based.
OF course, Lord Salisbury's declara-
ton will create frightful din. Pro-
fessor and statistician will come out and
curse him with bell, books and candles.
But the die is cast, and the Tory party
is at last committed to policy of re-
taIiation.

BOISE CITY, Idaho, May %. the strik-
ing miners of Cour d'Alene hearing that
800 non-union men were coming in over
the Northern Pacific road, proceeded in
force to Mullan, where they stopped the
train and notified the men not to pro-
coed. Governor Wiley has sent u tele-
gram to President Harrison stating the
gravity of the situation and requesting
that government officers at Fort Doug
las be notified and sent to the scene of
the difficulty. Inspector General Curtis,
of the state militia, has been ordered to
hold himself in readiness to go at a mo-
ment's notice to the scene Of action. The
situation is It grave one and trouble is
eXnectel.

Mr.. Blaine's Candidacy.

WAsHlSGToN, May 90. = The anti
Harrison men are still boasting that Mr..
Blaine has consented to accept the NOM
ination. There seems no longer to be
any doubt that Mr.. Blaine's assurance
that he will accept, concerning which
the air has been heavy with rumors for
the last few days, is authentic. The as
surance was given to Senators Quay and
Cameron and Representative Milliken,
of Maine, in the presence of Mrs. Blaine.
Chairman Clarkson's statement in New
is taken to mean that he, too has heard
the tidings that Mr. Blaine has consented
to carry the banner.
