1t was, and still Is, a matter of regret on the
part OF the management Of that great enter.
prise, and OF every visitor there, but more
particularly on the part of the people of the
South, that there was not larger display OF
the products of that very resourceiul part OF
the country. The reason for this incomplete
display at the Chicago Exposition was be.
cause of the peculiar provisions in the Con-
stitutioDs OF most OF the Southern States,
which prevented the appropriation of any OF
the public money for such purposes.
To make up for the loss of the display
which should have been had at Chicago, 1t
has been decided to hold an exposition at
Atlanta in 1895, beginning September 18 and
closing December 81. This exposition will
take the place OF the Cotton Exposition
which is usually held in the South. 1t will
be called the Cotton States and International
Exposition. 1t is not intended that 1t shall
be merely local or provincial affair, as the
Cotton States Exposition has usually been,
but 1t will be en- exhibition OF all the pro-
ducts OF the South, as well as of interesting
material from all American countries and
from as many foreign countries as can be
interested in the project so soon after the
closing Of the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
In view of the fact that American coun-
tries are to be particularly interested in this
exposition, 1t was ut first proposed to call it
the Pan-American Exposition, but the favor
with which the idea was received by some
foreign countries seemed to give it an inter-
national character. The exposition has been
Endorsed by the United States Government,
by the Governors Of all the Southern States,
and by all commercial bodies interested in
the development Of the South. 1t is ex-
pected that the Southern States will be fully
represented in the exhibits and that there
will be many displays from Northern States,
white the amount OF material that is pledged
from South American countries is large
enough to assure an interesting, If not com
plete, exhibit Of the resources and products
Of these countries.
The particular object Of this Atlanta Tx
position is the fostering Of trade relations
between the Southern States and between
the Southern States and Pan-Amorican coun-
tries. 1t is felt by all Southern people that
there is large field OF business enterprise
south of the Gulf of Mexico, and, with the
same spirit which has made Yankees famous,
the Southerners are taking steps to make
the most OF it. Four Commissioners have
been sent into Mexico Central and South
America, and through them nearly all these
countries have returned favorable replies to
the invitations to participate in the exposi-
ton.
Although the exposition was at first out
lined something after the plan of the usual
cotton exhibitions, it grew so steadily that
1t has now become universalin plan. 1t was
in last February that mass meeting of the
citizens of Atlanta was held to take steps to
inaugurate the plans OF the exposition.

that many large exhibits could be obtained
for Atlanta with very little trouble and at
comparatively small cost. The fact that the

BIG LABOR MEETING.
The American Federation Gather at

The fourteenth annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor was
called to order at Denver, Col, by
President Gompers promptly at 10
o'clock Monday. There were one hun
bred delegates and spectators in Odd
Fellows hall at that time and half as
many more came in during the morn
ing session.
President Rhode Kahn, of the Den
yer Trades Assembly, delivered the
address of welcome, to which Mr..
Gompers briefly responded. The lat
ter spoke feelingly of the almost des-
per0te condition of labor at the pres
ent time. This was followed by COM
plimentary words for Denver and her
energetic people. Referring to the
innovation of holding this convention
so far west as Denver, he suggested
that within a decade the westward
movement of industry might take the
conventions of the federation to the
Golden Gate.
