IT Is REPORTED THAT 1T is THE lNrEN-
tion Of the government to establish at
the Worlds Fair grounds a complete
postoflce, equal in capacity to that re-
quired by a city of 100000 or more in
habitants, and to operate it, not only
during the Fair, but for several months
previous to the opening and after the
closing. a government postoiiice it,
spector is now on the grounds perfect
ing plans and estimates. 1t is believed
that the number of exhibitors will be
between 10000 and 10000. To these
mail will be delivered hourly. At a
rough estimate, this postofIlce will re-
quire about 300 employees, and entail
an expense of about $4,000 on the
part of the government.

REPORTS FROM NEBRASKA, KANSAS,
Iowa, Dakota, Oregon, Washington,
and California, are that all the indica-
tions point to a phenomenally early
spring, and it is remarked that the
farmers are making great preparations
on the strength of the indications. In
North Dakota they are sowing wheat
and barley, and ploughing is being
done in many parts of Kansas. If the
present weather continues all crops in
North Dakota will be in the ground
nearly a month earlier than usual. In
the Walla Walla Valley, Washington,
and in western Oregon crocuses and
hyacinths have been in bloom for a
couple of weeks, lilacs were in bud a
week ago, and cherry and peach trees
will be in full blossom soon. In cen
tral California almond trees are in full
bloom, and the apricot and peach trees
are full of blossoms. An incident in
the village of Pretty Prairie, Kan, a
few days ago, when eight couples stood
up together and we're married at one
ceremony, might also be taken as an
import Of spring, according to the
poets prognostications as to the indi-
cations of young mems fancies.

SALISBURY MEETS DEFEAT.

The Government Heaten by Five Votes
on the NIombnsa Railway Bill.
LONDON, March 12.-The government was
defeated by vote of 154 to 40 in the house
of commons yesterday on the question of
the cancellation of certain votes for the sur
vey appropriation for the proposed Nom.
basa railway in Africa.
John Gordon Swift McNeill, anti-Parnell-
ite member for South Donegal, moved that
the names of William Ashmead Bartlett
Burdett-Coutts, Conservative for Westmin-
ster; Lieutenant General Sir Lewis Pelly,
Constitutionalist for North Hackney, and
Sir John Henry Puleston, Conservative foI
Devonport, be Cancelled on the list Of mem
bers voting for the survey appropriation.
His reason in making the motion, he ex'
planned, was that the gentlemen named
were pecuniarily interested in the British
Africa company, for whose benefit the pro
posed railway from the coast of Victoria
Nyanza would be built, if built at ALL AL
three gentlemen were directors and con
siderable stockholders in the company in
question.
The motion was supported by Mr.. Glad
stone and Sir William Harcourt, and was
opposed by Mr.. Balfour After a long dis
cussion it was carried by a vote Of 154 tc
149. The announcement Of the vote was
greeted with loud cheers by the opposition
The result is regarded as a defeat of the
government, which has fostered the Nom
basa railroad scheme in every detail from
its inception, and has let it be known that
it intended to stand or fall by the decision
of the house on the bill for the appropria
tion of the survey.

PARIS March l2.-A dynamite bomb was

partially occupied by Judge Benoist, the
magistrate who sentenced the st. Denis an.
archists. Ever since the trial he has been
annoyed by anonymous letter writers, who
have warned him that he was about TO be
killed. Finally he received a note which
said: "You have betrayed the cause of
liberty. You are in league with the op
pressors OF the proletariat. You have con
demned innocent men and your hours are
numbered
There was a ring at Benoist's door and the
hall porter answered il. He opened the
door half way, but before he could see out
side the explosion came The porter was
thrown back thirty feet and NJ, Benoist's
valet was hurled against the opposite wall
of the room. The door, dOorsteps and all
the adjoining front of the house were blown
out. Almost everything in NJ. Benoist's
apartments was smashed. The walls of all
three fats in the building were scanned, the
plastering was blown from all the ceiling
and windows 200 yards from the house werC
shattered. NJ. Benoist was not injured
Other occupants Of the house received only
trivial wounds. Although there were many
people in the street when the explosion
took place, nobody could be found who had
seen any one ring H. Benoists bell Ther,

The rescued men say that twenty-five Of

There are about 200 in all still to be account

The work has been set back twice by the
caving Of great blocks Of soil and stone from
the sides of the wrecked shaft, and since the
third trip it has been extremely difficult to
get volunteers for the work Of rescue. The

down 200 feet but returned saying that the
chances would be four to one against him il

was organized and they made the descent
