PARIS COMING SHOW.
What Minister Patenotre's Invita-
ton Said.

What Minister PatenOtre's Invita-.
ton Said.
The invitation of the French republic to
the United States to participate in the ex-
position Of 1900, as presented by Ambassa-
dor Patenotre and addressed to the Secre-
tary Of State, represents that the govern
ment of the French republic, desiring to
maintain the tradition which has established
the term of eleven years as the period for
renewing international expositioas, has de-
cided that the universal exposition of works
of art and of industrial and agricultural
products will take place at Paris in 1900.
On the 18th of July. 1892. presidential de-
cree announced the rule for 1t. Since then
executive power by voting several credits
for preliminary measures. Successive Ge-
crees have organized the functions, appoint
ed commissioner general and approved
the regulations for the future exposition as
we'll as the classification Of the articles TO be
exhibited.
The invitation concludes as follows:
Every foreign nation taking part in the
exposition ought to be represented near the
commissioner general by a delegate whose
exclusive care it shall be to deal with ques-
tons interesting to his countrymen. The
administration of the exposition will not cor
respond with foreign exhibitors. 1t. cannot
derogate from this rule except in favor of
the retrospective centennial exposition.
In directing me to bring this informl zion
to your knowledge, the government of the
French republic entertains the hope that the
government of the United States VIII kindly
lend its official cooperation to this work
of international progress, which can but
draw closer the ties of friendship which unite
the two countries / am happy to be the in
terpreter of these sentiments, and avail my
self of this occasion to renew to yol, Mr.
Secretary of State, etc.

PORTABLE HOT SPRINGS.
A Queer Case Before the Attorney


General.
The Attorney General and the Secretary
of the Interior have for a fortnight been
pound sent out by concern in Cincinnati.
1t purports to be, in the form Of crystal
lied salts, the actual medicinal water of
the Hot Springs in Arkansas. The attention
of the department was called to it by the
superintendent of the Hot Springs, who
desired that the Post Office Department
should make ruling against the stuff as
a fraud and bar it out of the mails, togeth-
er with all correspondence and advertising
pertaining to il. The label on the tin can
which contains the substance represents
that the contents will make fifty gallons
of Hot Spring water, suitable either for
drinking or bathing.
When used for bathing the patron is
cautioned not to use soap. Nowhere on the
label is it represented that these salts are
water, but the stuff is sent out precisely
upon the same footing that a druggist
sells Kissengen or Vichy water, which he
has himself made in the cellar of his store.
These Hot Springs salts contain bicarbon-
ate of magnesia, oxide of iron, chloride of
potassium, bicarbonate of calcium. and
chloride of sodium. Half a teaspoonful, it
is said, is enough to make tumDlerful
and tablespoonful is enough to provide
a good medicinal bath.
The Attorney General has decided that
there is no fraud in the matter, and that
the department cannot forbid the sale of
the stuff The situation now is that les
sees under the government who are con-
Quoting baths at the Hot Springs and have
necessarily invested much capital in order
to conduct that business. may by suit en-
join the Cincinnati people from selling
their compound.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, October 1S.--The
Sheriff arrived with Corbatt at 111O am,

to Justice Kinks office, where the prelim-
inary legal formalites were gone through

gram was sent to Dallas last night order
Ing the lumber on cars there TO be in readi-
Eess for shipment by noon today. Ground

News From Rome Discredited.

A dispatch from Rome states that "a
papal consistory will be held in Rome at
the end of December, when the following
Euncios will be appointed: Mgr. Anti, at
Vienna; Mgr. Gotti, at Madrid; Mgr. Rinal-
DIM, at Brussels, and Mgr. Lorenzelli, at
Washington
At the papal legation in this city the
statements made in the foregoing dispatch
are discredited. 1t is said it is too early
to forecast the outcome of consistory to
be held in December; that there are no
vacancies in the offices of nuncio at Madrid
or Vienna, and that there was not a nuncio
at Brussels for several years. This was re-
established lately, but the post will he
vacant soon, the present occupant having
been made Archbishop of Catania. 1t
would be impossible to send a nuncio to the
United States, as a nuncio is a. diplomatic
representative, and this government could
not recognize such an addition to the diplo-
matte corps.

UNION PACIFIC CHANGES
What Ex-Representative Ooombs Says Of
the Announced Plan.
Recommendation Understood to Have
Been Made by the Railroad
Commissioner.

A Star reporter today asked ex-Represen-
tative Coombs of Brooklyn, one Of the
United States Pacific railroad commits
sioners, for lis opinion Of the announced
plan for the reorganization of the Union
Pacific railroad. Mr.. Coombs said that not
having seen the pamphlet in full he could
rot be sure of his ground in discussing
the matter, but Judging from what was
printed in the newspapers, he thought the
plan imperfect. There seems to be no
prcvisicn," he said, "for the payment of
the debt to the government, and in my
judgment Congress will approve Of no bill
for the adjustment of that debt and the re-
organization which does not include the
consolidation of the Union and Central
Pacific roads into one system through to
the Pacific coast
Railroad Commissioners Recommen-
datiOns.
The report of the United States railroad
commissioners has been made to the In
terror Department. While it has not yet
been made public, it is understood that the
re port recommends settlement with the
government and reorganization of the
roads upon the basis of definite sum, to
be paid to the government in cash, and the
reorganization of the road, SO as to con-
soldate the Union and Central Pacific
roads.
1t is said to be argued that it was the
original intention of the government that
there should be one trunk lire clear through
to the coast, and that under such a consoli-
dation the earning capacity of the system
would be SO improved that bonds for the
settlement of the obligatio MS to the govern
ment and the obligations of prior considera-
ton, could be at once f1oated to advantage.
A cash settlement of, say, I5 per cent, with
the government is said to be recommended.

FAD IN THE CHAIR
Mr.. Geo. Flint Expires Suddenly at His
Office
Well-Known StepOgrapher Attacked
by Apoplexy-An EnEtfshman by
Birth - His Family.

George Flint, stenographer and type
writer, aged about sixty-five years, was
found dead in his Office in the Fendall
building shortly after noon today by Mr..
L. o. Hodges. The cause of death was
apoplexy Mr.. Flint has been a well-known
stenographer about the courts for some
time ard his death will be great shock
to his many friends. He occupied the first
room on the first floor Of the Fendall build
ing, where he did expert stenography and
typewriting.
When Mr. Hodges, who was friend of
+ the deceased, knocked at the latters office
this afternoon he received no answer, so
he tried the door. Inside he saw a sight
that unnerved him, and quickly calling Mr..
Lamar. who has an office in the rear, the
rocking chair. facing Indiana avenue. His
head was pitched forward over the side Of
the chair, and his hand rested on the floor.
They called to him, but he made no answer,
and, realizing that something was wrong,
Mr.. Lamar hurried off for doctor. He at
lergth succeeded in getting the services OF
DR.. Biscoe, but before he arrived life was
extinct. Meanwhile message was sent to
the health department asking for doctor.
DR.. Fowler responded promptly, but could
do nothing. Death must have been in
stantaneous. 1t was evident from the ap-
pearance Of things about the office that
deceased was at work when be was first
taken ill., for on the typewriter was tie
heading of an address to the Supreme
Ledge of Free and Accepted Masons.
Deceased leaves two sons. Frank Flint, a
clerk in the patent Office and Arthur L., a
stenographer.
The deceased was sixty-fve years old and
was an Englishman by birth. He had lived
at Mount Vernon, Ohio, from where he
came to this city less than a year ago. AS
he had not reported any noted court cases
here. he. was not generally known. He re-
sided In Prince Georges county, Md, on
the line of the Baltimore and Potomac

Undertaken Speare took charge of the
body. and 1t is thought the dead mans re-
mains will be sent to Ohio for burial.

THE ARMENIAN QUESTION.
Making Efforts to Put an End to
Agitation.

Agitation.
CONSTANTINOPLE, October 1S.-At a
meeting of the ambassadors Of the powers
which has just been held it " as decided to
send q collective communication to the
Armenian patriarch, in order to solicit his
assistance in the efforts being made by the
representatives of the foreign governments
interested to put stop to the agitation go
ing on among the Armenians.
The Turkish newspapers have published
an inspired article cont: adicting the pre-
vailing idea that special privileges will in
future be conceded to the Armenians.
The article continued: "As, however, the
existing laws and regulations require modi-
fications, certain reforms. by which all,
without distinction Of race or religion. will
benefit, will be introduced tentatively in
certain provinces of Anatopia."
The article is regarded as intended to
prepare the Mussulmens for the promulga-
ton of the reforms forced upon the Turk
lsh government by the powers, and to pre-
vent the impression spreading that they are
for the exclusive benefit Of the Armenians
or a result of the Armenian agitation and
an intervention Of the powers.

The President has granted a pardon in
the case of Charles A. Miller, convicted in
Texas of horse stealing and sentenced De-
cember q. 1893, to six years Imprisonment

REPUBLICANS HOPEFUL,
Looking Forward Confidently to Elec-
ton in Maryland.

LOOhluaS HOTWuru SOnHOcntly 10 Elec-
tiOn in Maryland.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd. October 1s.-Nearly
everybody here is talking politics and dis
cussing the probable result of the state
election. The great anti-Gorman mass
meeting held Tuesday night has had de-
ci6ed effect on public sentiment, and the
republican and anti-Gorman democratic
leaders claim that hundreds Of voters tina,
were wavering in their allegiance to the
machine are now openly in favor OF
Lowndes and will vote for him on election
day. Regular democratic leaders admit
that the great interest and enthusiasm
shown by their opponents have had a big
effect on their voters, but they say that
they expect to overcome it before election
day.
In order to counteract the effects of the re-
cent meeting, the democrats are preparing
to hold one which they claim will exceed
that of their opponents in size and en-
thusiasnl.
There is noticeable gloom on the faces
of the officials in charge of democratic
headquarters today. which is in decided con-
trast to the hopeful countenances seen at
the republican rooms. Chairman Yelling
ton is more confident than ever of success,
while the others appear in doubt what to
say.
When the campaign opened it was cour-
teSy ana compliment on the part OF the
candidates of both parties and the stump
speakers, but the last few days have wit
messed a decided change, and now vituper-
alton and mud-slinging have begun ana
there is no telling where it will end. The
private, public and business records of the
candidates are being investigated and held
up to scorn and derision, and an old-time
personal contest is beginning which will
cause personal enmities and perhaps trou-
bic before the end Is reached.
The appointment of Mr.. Charles ]. Bona
parte as the republican supervisor of cleo
tions IS looked upon by all good citizens as
decided triumph for the cause of fair
elections
Senator Charles ]. Faulkner of West
Virginia spent this morning at democratic
headquarters. He will go to Frederick to-
night with Mr.. John E. Hurst, democratic
candidate for governor where they will ad-
dress mass meeting.
In talking over the situa ation, Senator
Faulkner told The Star correspondent that
he expected to spend most of next week
stumping In this state, at the request of
Senator German. He expressed the great
est interest in the campaign and a strong
belief in the success of the democratic
ticket next month. He will go to Cecil
county, where he will address two meet
ings.
Reports from the eastern shore counties
indicate that Mr.. Lloyd Lowndes and the
other republican candidates are meeting
with rousing receptions at every point
