ings. Most of these men are employed
in putting the finishing touches to the
interiors and unpacking and placing
exhibits, which are daily arriving in
train loads.
Most of the debris of the buildings
has been removed from the grounds
and the roads and walks are receiving
final dressing and smoothing. Many
of the buildings are being freshly
coated with white, and away up in the
air the painters look like pigmies as
they busily ply their brushes upon the
statues which adorn the lofty domes.
Each day brings with it some new
feature in the park. One may travel
about the grounds to-day and see every
thing that is to be seen and tomorrow
there will be some new surprise for
him. Among the latest oddities is a
queer-looking structure being erected
on the south end of the wooded island
near the Davy Crockett log house.
When completed it will represent the
sort of cabin the antipodean BUSH
men occupy. 1t is being built
of bark brought from Australia,
and is held together by long
poles dashed together with twisted
grasses. This odd building will be oc-
cupied by Australians during the sum-
mer, who will decorate the interior
with an interesting collection of hun
ter's traps and trophies of the chase.
Another interesting exhibit which is
about to be constructed is that of the
empire of India. 1t will stand near the
houses of Sweden, Hayti and New
South Wales, in the north end of the
park. In architecture it is oriental to
the minutest detail.
The building is nearly square. eighty
feet long by sixty wide and twenty-five
feet high. A lofty gateway leading
into it is topped by minarets painted in
q rich but harmonious oriental style.
Smaller minarets of similar design tc
those over the gateway are placed al
each of the corners of the main build
ing. The general effect of the exterior
will render the structure . striking oh
ject among the cosmopolitan specimen:

ABsoLUrE UNITY NEEDED.

Emperor william Declares That the
modelling and That All other Ques-
lions Are Inferior 10 It.
BxRLIN, May 1s.-The German emperor,
accompanied by Prince Albrsoht, regent Of
Brunswick, Prince Frederick Leopold,
Count Won Caprivi, General Won Kaltsn-
berg .Stsohau, DR.. Besss and many other
notsbles proceeded to Goerlitz, silesis, to-
day, where he personally unveiled the
monument to his grandfather, Emperor
William I. This event has long been
looked forward to with great interest, par
ticulsrly as 1t was assumed that the en-
peror would have something to say about
the recent defeat of the army bill and the
present electoral campaign.
There were great crowds of people pres
ent. and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed.
After the exercises at the monument had
been concluded an elaborate dinner was
discussed. The emperor did not disappoint
his audience, for in his speech he said,
speaking with great solemnity:
"This festivity is in the midst of serious
times. Eleven years ago my grandfather
addressed to you most important words.
Now We must maintain what William I
created and secure the future of our father
land. Our army requires increasing and
remodellipg. have summoned the nation
to provide the necessary funds. And other
questions are inferior to this, the most
serious question, one upon which depends
the very existence of the fatherland. All
we need absoluteunity in order to solve the
question. Whatever separates us as Ger
many, Whatever causes views to diverge,
must now be put aside because 1t imperils
the future of the fatherland.n
This speech made profound impression
and has been hailed with, enthusiasm.

AN EXCELLENT RUN.

The New Cruiser Behaved Exceed
ingIy Well ON Her Run from the
Delaware to Boston.
BosToE, May 18.-The cruiser New
York reached Boston this afternoon at
1880 after a good run from the Delaware.
Though there was only a natural draught
in the 6re-rooms and at no time did the
revolutions of the engines exceed one hun
bred and two per minute speed of 19.47
was attained. The average rate may be
safely put down as 10 knots, though she
may not have actually made over the
ground owing to the adverse currents. If
it be remembered that this glorious burst
of speed was made under q steam pressure
Of 40 pounds to the square inch, that only
unsele cted coal was used and that no eff
fort was made to force the cruiser
this record stands alone. Theoret-
ically speaking If the existing conditions
hold on the official trial, when the blowers
are in operation and the steam pressure
run up to 100 pounds and tbs revolutions
increased to 1919, there is every reason to
hope that the New York will exceed her
contract speed by at least one knot, thus
winning for her builders a premium of
$200. 900, and giving to the United States
the fastest armed cruiser in the world. It
| was just ILLS yesterday when Compass
djuster John Rsnd reported the devia-
ton curve complete and sign was hoisted
at the New York's foremost head for his
boat to come alongside.
By 11:3O he had showed off an order
| was given to go ahead at full speed, and
the pride of the navy headed east by north
for the Five Fathom Bank lightship. The
wind then blew fresh from the west, but q
swell was rolling in from seward. The
cruiser moved off easily at a twelve knot
gait, her ponderous machinery scarcely
vibrating the great steel frame. Nava
Constructor Woodward made a series Of
careful tests and expressed himself highly
pleased with the new cruisers behavior II
| the sesway. After passing the Five Faith
ON Bank liahtship the vessel warmed up t.
her work and shaped q course for the Soutl
Shoal nghtship off Nantucket. This wa
picked up at $3.50 this morning in fresl
southessterly breeze. The run from Their
to Boston was made in q smooth sea ant
gentle swell from the eastward. The New
| York was met off Boston hsrbor by . tn,
chartered by the Cramps to act as q tende
| during the coming test.
Saturday there will be preliminary rul
over the course, and Sunday will be q da
of reat to both engines and men. On Mon
day morning she will get under way an
steam up to the starting point off Cap
May. Contract with the government call
for q speed of twenty knots, $50, 900 bein
paid for every quarter knot in excess, an
a like amount forfeited for every quartz
knot below. In the opinion of all the o.
perts the new cruiser has every prospet
of developing a speed of from 90 20 to
knots per hour.
