BLOOD WAS SPILLED.
Meagre Reports of Battle Between the
Blacks and Whites in Louisiana.

New Orleans, April THE Times-Dem-
ocrat's Opelousas special says:
More blood was spilled in ST. Landry
parish today. The affair occurred in
Grand Prairie, one of the strongholds of
the Thompson forces. There is no def
mite news at hand at this hour, and all
that your correspondent can learn is that
a crowd of negroes under leader, armed
with guns, was proceeding to Opelousas
to register. They were met by band of
white men who asked where they were GO
ing. The leader responded that they
were going to town to register, whereupon
the whites replied that they could not.
The leader of the negroes made motion
to use his gun, when he was shot all to
pieces.
Another rumor states that not only was
the negro shot, but that some six or seven
of his followers were wounded. OF course
there is nothing definite in these rumors,
and the truth as to the real facts will not
reach here until tomorrow.

Preparing FOR the Paris Fair.

Every European power having Off
cially promised to be represented at the
exhibition of 1900, the period Of active
preparation may lie said to have begun
That which chiefly occupies public at
tention III Paris Just now is the compe-
tition for the designs of the two build
ings intended to replace the Palais de
IIndustrie. The public win be admitted
to see these, and the verdict of the jury
may be expected soon.
The two palaces will be on the
right and left of the road from the
Champs Elysoos to the new Invalides
bridge over the Seine They will be
utilized during the run Of the exhibition
as art galleries and afterward for the
purposes of annual salons, horse shows
and other fetes or exhibitions now held
i'll the Palais de l'Industrie.
The 60 designs are worthy Of minute
inspection. Unfortunately the fault OF
being purely monumental, with only
secondary attention to the detail of edi-
fees intended for tens Of thousands Of
daily visitors, underlics each design.
The cholce OF the jury Will probably be
made among the following:
NJ. Girault has III the main followed
the original design Of the Palais dc
PIndustrie, with great improvements in
view of the Salon and Concours Hip
pique. NJ Esquie has, on the othel
hand, taken the central cupola of the
Champ de Mars as his starting point.
MN. Deglane and Binet include a tri-
umphal avenue of statuary in their plan,
which is more grandiose than practical.
MN. Mewes, Gautier and Hermant' !
designs are full of beauty and rather
startling originality. Prizes of from
1000 to Is, 900 francs Will be awarded
to the five most successful competitors.
