1t is curious study tn observe how
many features of the worlds fair
may properly be described as ''the blg-
gest in the world" 10 begin with, the
grounds are larger than the size of any
previous worlds fair. The main hall
Manufactures and Liberal Arts building
is the climax of all construction work
in modern times; the money spent and
to be expended on the grounds and
buildings is double any appropriation
ever made for 4 similar purpose; and
the total value of promised exhibiti
reaches the enormous sum of $3.50, 0,000,-
900, eclipsing the aggregate value of all
the exhibits of any two modern exhi-
bitions.
These figures, stupendous as they
seem, find a counterpart in the magni-
tuoe of exhibits. Whether one takes

hibit, the power plant in Machinery

section, it may be described without
any exaggeration rs the biggest the
world ever saw.
Coming to individual exhibits, there
are single features conspicuous enough
to overwhelm the imagination. For in

Paris exposition had but 5000. OF the
$4,000 horsepower at Jackson park,
5000 is applied by electricity, while the
Centennial had no electrical exhibits
save u few arc lights. One engine OF
this big plant has 1000 horsepower
capacity, eclipsing the Corliss engine at
the Centennial, and outdoing anything
ever attempted in mechanical apparatus
in this country.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

Gladstone Introduces the Bill In the

LONDON, Feb. IA 4-Yesterday marked
an era in the history of Great Britain
and Ireland for yesterday William Z.
Gladstone. the venera bic Liberal leader,
pfs5eated to the house of commons his
measure providing for home rule for
Ireland.
When Mr.. Gladstone arose at 3:40 p.
m. to introduce the home rule bill,
there was another demonstration so
earnest, so enthusiastic and irrepressi-
bic that it was several minutes before
he could be heard.
The object of the bill remained as in
1886, to establish legisla tive body in
Dublin for the conduct of both legisla-
tion and administration in Irish as dis
tinct from imperial affairs. Cheers. |
The limiting conditions which were
then observed and had since been sed-
ulously and closely observed were
these:
First-Imperial unity is observed and the
equality of all Is observed.
Second-The equality of all the Kingdoms
would be borne In mind.
Third-There would be equitable reparation
OF imperial charges
Fourth-Any and every practicable pro-
vision for the protection of minorities would
be included The plan proposed ought to be
such as to present the necessary characters.

A STARTLING STORY.
A STRANGE TRIPLE ALLIANCE
TREATY NEGOTIATED.
America. France and Russia Said to
Have Entered Into AN Agreem mt to
stand Together on All Matters
Affecting Their Respective
Interests-Said to E-
strictly Defensive.

WASHINGTON. Feb. IA triple alli-
ance between the United States. Rus
sia and France, such is the interna-
tional combination of forces for mu
tual benefit and defense which had
been secretly pending for six years.
and which. unknown to the diplomatic
world ut large culminate in an execu-
tive session of the United States SEN
ate Il few days ago.
This is the first public announcement
of the weighty meaning which lay be-
hind the seemingly unimportant and
formal announcement that ''the extra
dition treaty with Russia has been
ratified"
That was the sum total of the an
nouncement which was given to the
public. But the ratification of this
treaty meant an epoch in the history
of this country. 1t meant that the
century win close with what Prince
Gortschakoff, the great Russian
chancellor, once described as ''neces-
sary for the universal equilibrium of
nations-namely. an alliance between
the United States, Russia and France. =
In ratifying these treaties the United
States government has received dis
| t1nct pledges both orally, through the
Russian and French legations in Wash
ington. and by correspondence through
the department of state with the for
eign officers of those governments, of
their support, by force if necessary,
against any interference by Germany,
Great Britain or any other European
power with the maintenance by the
United States of what is commonly
termed ''the Monroe doctrine.
In other words, the control of the
Hawaiian islands, the annexation OF
British America. the acquisition of Cuba,
of Hayti and San Domingo and the
ultimate expulsion of Great Britain
from Bermuda are all possibilities in
fulfilling which the United States
would be upheld by the two powers
which in European politics are most
distinctly opposed to the Driebund, the
alliance between Germany, Austria
and Italy

Curious Scene at the Worlds Fair.

The other day the Turks consecrated
the grounds on which the Turkish pa
vilion of the worlds fair will be erect
ed. First they killed large white
sheep as a sort of insurance to prevent
Allah from destroying the building. A
hundred men in bullying breeches, rim
less red fez and red slippers stood
around the sheep. One prayed. another
tied a bandage over THE eyes of the
sheep, and Fahri Bey cut the animals
throat. After this everybody went to
