On to Mexico,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 3l.-Two hum
bred manufacturers from all parts of
the country will begin to gather here
today preparatory to the great tour of
Mexico. The party will leave here
on the second of February. The OBJ
ject of the excursion is to establish
closer trade relations between this
country and the Republic of Mexico.
1t is argued by the gentlemen who
are getting up the trip that, IL the
manufacturers of the United States
can only be made to realize
what a rich field for their
many products lies at their own
doors in the southern republic, over
which President Disz rules, they
will combine to make some effort to
get firmer hold on the Mexican
trade, much of which is now con-
trolled by England, Germany and
France. A personal inspection of the
field, it is hoped, Will give the Amer.
lean manufacturers a better idea of
the advantages that lie in closer re-
lations with Mexico, and the excur-
sion to the republic is expected to
bring about q boom in trade with
that country.

Home Rule in Sight at Last.

LONDON, Jan. 81 The Home Rule
parliament began its labors today,
with Premier Gladstone and q liberal
ministry at the helm. The session
will be the most eventful since the
days of Sir Robert Peel and reform
legislation and will be marked by the
passage of 8 measure which will give
Ireland satisfactory degree of sell
government. The bill has been care
FULLY compiled by Mr.. Gladstone and
Mr.. Morley, chief secretary to Ire
land and the notifications suggested
by the Irish leaders of the Ants-Par-
nellite faction have been en-
bodied in the measure. II is unders
stood that 1t provides in addition to
self-government In local measures,
for q retention of the full strength of
the Irish party in parliament. 1t is
plain now that this move is made
necessary by the very scant majority
OF the government in case the two
Irish factions withdraw. 1t Is said
on excellent authority that the Par
nellltes will not oppose the govern
m ent's "Home Rule" bill. There are
other matters of Importance to come
up, including the proposal to evacuate
Uganda and Mr.. Lsbouchere is
expected to occasion . good deal of
mischief forithe government. 1t seems
certain, however, that no measure
looking to reform at home will be
agitated until the irish question Is
degnitely settled. Mr.. Bslfour, until
recently chief secretary for Ireland,
under the government of Lord Sails
bury, will be the leader of the oppos-
ition In the House, q position Of great
honor for so young q man: He will
have the support of the liberal Union
lists headed by Mr.. Cham berlain,
in his fight on the Home Rule meas
ure of the government. 1t is said that
Mr.. Gladstone has insisted, at the
urgent request of the queen, OF most
carefully guarding the royal veto
prerogstive on questions passed upon
by the Irish parliament. There will
be many notable men in the new par
lament and among those to whom
public attention will be gen.
orally attracted are Mr.. John
Burns, the great labor leader,
Mr.. Labsuchere, the famous edi-
tor of London Truth, and for
the first time in the history of the
House of Commons an East Indian
representative in the person of Mr..
Naoroji, who was elected to n liberal
seat from an Engligh borough. 1t
is understood that Mr.. GIadstone's
majority on the "Home Rule measure
will be thirty-six although some Ad-
ditions from the labor element in the
parla ment may increase 1t TO forty.

CHICAGO, June l. Everybody in every
state will be informed to-day by com
missioners that the fair is in shape and a
good time to see it is at once. This
official letter will be scattered to every
corner of the country, and its, aim is to
disprove.the silly charges of incomplete
ness and extortion.
The document is a long affair, ex.
planning the immense scope of the expo

there is enough to busy the mind of a
studious man for many months. 1t ad-
vises no one to stay away, since the
occasion is the grandest of any age in
any country. There are no excessive
prices for essential things, and it is time
that ridiculous stories should be branded
as untrue. The statement will be wired

Half the y i'll.

Cubans.
LET the United States offer to buy
the island and the owners Of land and
business people of Cuba would be willing
TO pay one half the cost of the purchase
of the island by the United States them
selves.S he said 1T is the result of
much thought by my countrymen. The
people are desperate. They are too
feeble without the assistance Of a power
full people to work out their liberty by

ROOM MADE FOR FRANCIS.

The Ex-Chiof of Police WIN Take the
Place of Warden Dennison In the jail
at New Castle.
Sheriff Gould informed Warden John
W. Dennison Of the New Castle jail
yesterday, that his services would be
dispensed with, taking effect on Satur.
day, June 3.
It is claimed that the reason Of Denni.
sons dismissal is TO make room for ex-
Chief of Police Theodore w. Francis.
The causes can be put in nutshell
and are these Dennison was Gtllis man
and Francis a Gould man and thereby
hangs a tale.
Dennison was appointed by ex.Sheriff
Simmons and has always been a faithful
servant. When the Republican candi.
dates announced themselves last summer
he worked In the interest OF Paul Gillis the
shreivalty candidate of White Clay Greek
hundred Francis was then chief Of
police Of this city, and did all he could
do to secure the election Of Gould
Because he was not given the title Of
house sergeant under the new Police
Commission he resigned. Since. that time
lac has been doing nothing. He will
begin the discharge Of the duties con
nected with his new position on Sunday
next. The salary Is $40 per month.
