PARIS COMING EXPOSITION.
France Already Preparing for
the Great Fair to BE
Held in 1900.

WASHINGTON -[Special] - Ambassa-
dor Patenotre has returned from
France with large fund of informa-
ton concerning the international ex.
position of 1900, which is tc be held in
Paris on scale betting the advent of
q new century. The French govern
ment is in charge of the undertaking
and the ambassador will communicate
an official invitation Of his government
to the United States and to individual
exhibitors to take part in the EXPOSE
ton.
The authorities at Paris have fur
nished NJ. Patenotre very full data
with which to make the invitation to
the American people cordial and COM
plete. This shows that tho exposition
will open April Is, 1900, and will con-
tinue until November 5. The French
government has begun the extensive
work incident to an event of this mag
nitude. The administrative service
has been organized and . commission
or general appointed to take general
charge Of the work. Besides thu pre-
paratlons in Paris, the commissioner
general is to have charge of the ar
engagements with delegates from foreign
nations. Plans have also been perfect
ed for the construction of palaces, out
buildings and the laying out of parks
and gardens.
The ambassador considers the loca-
ton of the new exposition as much
superior to that of the last one. It
will be in the heart of the busiest and
most historic part Of Paris.
In communicating the invitation to
the United States and other foreign
nations, the French government will
bring out the general features of the
exposition. One Of the most import
ant of these is that the means of pro-
duction and the articles produced will
be exhibited side by side as far as
possible. The various classes of ma
chinery will be shown in their stages
OF development, each machine being
in operation, and its products placed
on exhibition as fast as it accumu-
lates.
Ambassador Patenotre is hopeful
that the American government and
people will take lively interest in the
coming exposition. It is coincid ence
that French expositions follow each
other at intervals of eleven years, but
in addition to being q periodical oc-
currence of the worlds gathering at
Paris, this event will be given the
added Significance Of ushering in the
twentieth century. The French gov
eminent Is making all its preparations
on . scale commensurate with the
great work It has undertaken.
On the assembling Of congress there
doubtless will be communicated to it
tho invitation from France and it is
expected that an American commits
sion will be created and provided for
the proper presentation Of the United
States ct the exposition.

VIEWS or A BRr rrsH PAPER.

= . i
London .spesksr' Dsclarss UDole SANS
Attitade In venesuels 10 Not Appre-
oissed by Englaad's Rulers.
The Speaker one of the leading news
papers of London publishes long ar
ticle dealing with the evolution Of the
foreign policy of the United States,
citing as examples the Venezuelan
and Cuban questions, in the course OF
which it says:
1.-THE United States, as great pow
er, is coming into foreign politics, and
is coming to stay. The process of evo-
luton of American foreign policy has
been gradual but unmistakeble, and in
the last few weeks we have had indi-
cations of the existence Of aspirations
which may at any moment lead to the
active participation OF America in a
foreign war. Her Intervention in the
Venezuelan dispute is not warranted
by any treaty or precedent in interna-
tional law, and can only be defended
on the ground that the Monroe doc
trine henceforth will be acted upon as
governing all the foreign policy of the
OulCcu OL6J0S. Anu WubL 10 luOIc SCI
ious is that it is not the Monroe doc
trine pure and simple, but that doc
trine with developments. Her action
means that the weaker states of Am
erica can count upon the assistance Of
the United States in frontier disputes
with any European colony. The pres
ent action undoubtedly does not 60
any further than the friendly sugges-
ton that we refer the question to ar
bitration; but it is backed and sup
ported by claims which logically point
to q declaration that interference with
the frontier claimed by Venezuela, will
be regarded in Washington as dec lar
alton Of war against the United States
This is a serious affront, and it is
feared that it is not appreciated at it's
proper value in Downing street."
The article sums up the situation by
saying that Europe must understand
that the people of the United States
are decided. first of all, to prohibit, if
necessary with the bayonet and rife;
any extention of European domina-
ton; secondly, that popular sentiment
in the United States enthusiastically
favors every insurrectionary move
ment which aims at the removal of a
European flag from American soil.
This will entail force, expenditures
and complications. But these facts
are not clearly seen yet by the Ameri-
can citizen, who plumbers blindfolded
but headlong along what used to be
called the path of manifest destiny"

ceded to be the best lady banjoist on

Hettie Bernard Chase is a Hwhole show''
by herself. That she will become great
favorite goes without saying. In her

state, and was followed by Mr.. Hunt
ington for the defendant. The first
witness for the state was E. I. Birch,

the scene after the killing. Dan Ma
loney and Ralph Gibbons testified to hav-
ing seen the knife with which it is al
legged the killing was done and con-
nected it with the possession of the
defendant. W. H. Lochhead told about
seeing the men cross the street and also

testimony was contradictory of Mr.. Ma
loney's. F.W. L. Skibbe was upon the
stand as the reporter left the courtroom.
In all probability the case will go to the
jury this evening.
