AN EXPOSITION AT PARIS
To Celebrate the Birth OF the Coming
Century
Conpre Has Taken No Action and American
Exhibitors VIII Find Small Space
at Their Disposal

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The French
government is rapidly perfecting de-
tails for the international exposition to
be held in Paris in 1900, commemorating
the birth of the century, and in this con-
nection has asked the state department
for the name of the commissioner
general who will represent the United
States and for such other information
available as to the participation of this
country. To this Acting Secretary Rock
hill has replied that the commissioner
general has not been named, as the
American congress took no steps at its
recent session to provide for American
representation at the exposition. He
expressed the belief, however, that the
approaching session of congress will
bring about an acceptance Of the invi-
tation of the French republic.
President Cleveland called the atten-
ton of congress to the invitation in his
annual message last December and ex-
pressed the most earnest hope that steps
would be taken for an adequate repre-
sentation by the United States. But
congress acts slowly on these affairs and
no measure was considered, the idea be-
ing that there was plenty of time before
1900. 1t appears, however, that Great
Britain, Germany and other leading
powers have been quick to accept, and
the French government is allotting
space to these countries. American ex-
hibitors are beginning to make inquiry
as to where their goods will go, but no
answer can be given them. The pros
pect is that the best space will be taken
before the United States accepts the
invitation and makes application for
space. This was the case at the last
exposition, when American exhibitors
were at much disadvantage in point of
location.
1t Is expected in official circles that
when congress meets it will provide for
a commissioning and an assist
ant. This was the case with the late
French exposition, when Gen. Franklin
was commissioner general, with a sal
ary of $4,000, and the assistant commits
sioner received $4,000. The opinion pre-
walls that as the appointment will serve
after the present administra ton ends,
President Cleveland will not make the
passes the act before March next.
Aside from the direct emoluments al
tached to the offices, a fund is provided
for office and living expenses In the
case of Gen. Franklin, the French gov
ernment conferred on him the excep-
tional honor of the cross of the Legion
of Honor, while the assistant commits
SiOner received a lesser distinction.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 24.-The reso-
lutions recently adopted by the State
typographical union at Fresno, de-
manding an investigation of the affairs
of the state printing office, stirred up a
hornets nest in labor circles in Sacra-
mento. Nearly every union has de-
nounced the action at F'renso, and t.
night, by vote of 21 to C, the local
Council of Federated Trades adopted
the following resolutions
Whereas, 1t has come to the knowi-
edge of Sacramento Federated Trades
Council. through official action on the
part of several subordinate unions haV
ing representation in this council that
State Typographical union, No. +, at its
session held at Fresno on the 18th ana

Investigation, without proof. and with
out warrant, pass resolutions condemn

ing office, and adversely criticising our
fellow craftsmen therein employed,
whose representatives are members of
this council; and, whereas, the subject
of said resolutions had never been dis
dinate union having representation in
said State Typographical union, and
that it therefore acted without informa-
ton or authority in the matter; anH'
whereas this council believes that said
resolutions by said State Typographical
union were born of malice and misrep-
resentation; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this council, repre-
senting all the trades unions in the city
of Sacramento. hereby repudiates and
repels the action of said State Typo
graphical union in its passage of the
resolutions above referred to; further,
Resolved, That this council most en-
phatically deprecates and denounces
the use of any labor union or organiza-
ton as an implement for the gratifica-
ton of personal or political malice or
for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of any one who
seeks political prominence at the eX-
pense of unionism; further,
Resolved, That, as rebuke to State
Typographical union, No. 6, for its ac
ton in the passage of the resolutions
above referred to, this council recon-
mends to Sacramento Typographical
union, No. 46, that it withdraws its del
egate from said State Typographical
union until such time as said State union
shall see fit to disavow the resolutions
complained of.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to Hon. James H.
Budd, governor of the state of Califor-
mia; a copy to each labor union in the
state, and copy to each of the daily
newspapers of Sacramento and San
Francisco, under tl1e seal of this coun-
Gil
After the meeting had adjourned, z.
G. Ely, president of the Federated
Trades, who has been recognized as
the leader of the opposition to the state
printing office, became involved in a
personal encounter with some compost
tors. He drew a revolver and fired a
couple of shots and was arrested. At a
late hour he had not given bail. No one
was hurt by the bullets.

LIS Habits

Lii Hung Chang, as observed by the
English reporters, goes to bed at $50
o'clock. This is the habit of years from
which there is no deviation. He rises
at $50 o'clock. This is the rule, subject
to occasional variation. His personal
Attendants stand silently in his room at
the time named. If, as it occurs at long
intervals, he does not wake then he is
left to sleep on. His attendants continue
motionless, for they have orders not to
rouse their master. His excellency al
ways wakes Of his own accord by 5; 45

attendants wash his face; he does not
have daily bath. A light breakfast
next claims his attention. This con-

fifth year, his digestion is not what it
was, and ne takes particular care that
all his dishes are simple and easy of

OVER THE NET
Expert Larncd Loses His Nerve and the
Championship


NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 24.-William
J. Larnedl of Summit, N. j., the acknowl-
edged leading exponent of tennis In
America, with three months finishing
practice in England, beat himself in the
finals for the national championship to-
day.
r. Wrenn, ex-champion, was his oppo-
nent, and had only to wait for two sets
and half until Larned played himself
to stanstill. Larned's play was some
thing marvellous. and Wrenn could do
nothing with dis cross-court drives or
his smashes from the net. Wrenn's lobs
were handled in mastery manner,
and, after a few ineffectual attempts
at this game, Wrenn gave it up as bad
job. At the ned of the second set, with
two sets in Larned's favor, every one
thought the match was as good as set
tied. The play in the third set was even
for four games. After that, however,
Larned fell off a trifle, and Wrenn. see
ing the opportunity for which he had
been waiting during the whole game,
jumped in and snatched three games in
quick succession. This beat Larned,
for he lost his nerve and after that was
not responsible for his returns.
The game began with Larned serving on
the east court. Larned lost tie first point
of the game by driving into the net and the
second by double fault. Wrenn then net
ted the ball and drove it out of court, but he
passed Larned twice after that and won the
game In the two succeeding games Wrenn
passed Larned repeatedly, the latter ap-
pearing woefully weak and losing point
after point. Three double faults We're
=
The fourth game was won by Larned on
hard strokes. In the fifth game Wrenn
began running to the net but Larned won.
Wren got three points in succession in the
sixth and won. In the next Wrenn tried
to lob but Larned killed the strokes and
won the game. Larned then began to play
more satisfactorily and winning the eighth
made the score four games in all. After this
Larned qept his lead, winning the set He
passed Wrenn repeatedly and his plays
were brilliant and telling. Points-Wrenn,
total, 81; Larned, total. %.

Milwaukee Drink, little Beer

Milwaukee. the great beer center, pro-
duces Of course very much more beer than
it consumes. The Milwaukee Sentinel esti-
mates that of last years product of 2,171 2O2
barrels only 10 per cent was consumed in
the city. That, 1t says, argues rather mod
crate drinking in a community which can
get good beer and a large proportion of
whose population is German or of German
descent. 1t explains that the great ma
jority of beer drinkers In the city drink very
slowly and socially. and those among them
who are not Germans have learned the
German way from social contact. From
not very satisfactory data 1t estimates that
the consumption of beer among "the we'll
to-do classes" will average about one glass
daily. and that the patrons of the saloons
with bars are satisfied with an average OF
two glasses daily.-New York Evening
