These bills will be introduced early in the
present session and the New York dele
cation will urge their passage. The bureau
of American republics and the various
South American countries have taken up
the matter. and the prospect is that the
exposition will be a great international af-
fair, participated in by all parts of this
hemisphere.
As far as L can learn. the exhibition will
not suffer for lack of money. About twice
the amount asked of the government will
be furnished in other ways. The manage
ment includes some of the biggest capital
fists in the United States. The president is
Captain ]. NJ. Brinker, the man who built
the railroad in the gorge below Niagara
falls, and one of the richest men of Buffalo.
The vice presidents are Chauncey NJ De-
pew. Ex-Governor Roswell z. Flower and
j.. j. Thomas, president of the Erie rail-
road; while among the directors are men
like III. Walter Webb of the Vanderbilt
family, Daniel O'Day, president of the
United Pipe lines. and a dozen other men
of note, including the president of the big
electrical and other companies about

falo interests at Atlanta and Nashville.
Where the Exposition Will BE Held.
/ met Mr.. Hin at the exposition head
quarters this afternoon and had a chat
with him about the exposition and its pros
poets. Said he:
II think there is no doubt that the ex-
position will in its way be fully the equal
of, if not superior to, the worlds fair at
Chicago. We will not spend anything like
the money that was spent at Chicago, but
we will not need to do SO. God has done
for us what man had TO do at Chicago. We
ave Niagara falls two miles below us.
Its enormous water power is now in har-
ness and the falls will run our machinery
and furnish all kinds of novelties. The

There is 40 doubt of that. We had
$4,000 people here at the time of the c..
A. r. reunion and we took care of them
easily. Every year about 100000 people
visit Niagara falls. They are accommodate
ed without trouble. We can easily handle
lS.oW people a day at the exposition. and
l don't think We will nave much trouble
IN bringing that humble here. The railroad
companies have already pledged themselves
TO give us lower rates than they haye ever
gwen before. The fares will not exceed

the people cannot afford to STAY away

There is only fault tina the enemies
and critics of Prince Jamie attribute to
him. They say he drinks too much. He

for booze" is attributed by the Spaniards
to that fact. Intemperance in the matter
of drinking is not a failing OF the Latin
races. They have SO many others that for

however. Prince Jamie Is very Castilian,
and is anxious to play for his father (only
to play it more successfully the part

his standard on the Braes of Mar for his
father. James of St. Germain. To prepare
himself for such a part he has been learn
irS the art of war in the Russian army.
He received a commission in that service
as soon as his schooldayS were over in
England.
The prince has five first given names.
They are Jamie, John. Charles. Alphonso,
Philip. He was born in Vevey, in Swift
erland. in 1870. His mother. who died about
four years ago. was a princess of Bour-

Carlist insurrection the family of Don
Carlos were poor, and his manner of living
kept them so. But when. in 1898. Don Car

Prince Jamie has had a stepmother his
allowance has been increased. and he can
now keep up his end with any Of the gay
young officers OF the cars army.
Colonel Napoleon Bonaparte Is a more
solid and dignified officer than Jamie. He is
80 years old. and has sown his wild oats,
apparently. He is the second son of Prince
Napoleon. son of the great emperor's
brother. Jerome; king of Westphalia. He is
second cousin to Charles Bona

heir of the Napoleonic claims to the throne
OF France; cutting off his eldest son. Prince

building will be so arranged that the mo-
ment you step on the grounds you will be

at first to put the United States govern

changed, however, as the officials at Wash

He is anxious that Canada should have a
show and it is probable that the Cana

very soon. YOu know the exposition is not
simply a Buffalo affair. We call it the
Niagara Frontier exposition and We expect
Canada to have a big part in it. In con-
nection with the Canadian exhibit there
will be rooms showing life on the klondike.
All of the methods of gold washing and
mixing will be exhibited. There will be
representations of cabins of the miners,

KENTUCKY c. A. r. ENcAMPMENT
Ex-Confederates Take Prominent Parts In
the Ceremonies.

Ex-Confederates Take Prominent Parts in
the Ceremonies.
The State Encampment, Grand Army OF
the Republic, at Lexington, was the most
remarkable ever held In Kentucky, from
the fact that ex-Confederates took the
leading part in the exercises, and only one
Union soldier made O set speech.
Captain Stephen G.. Sharp, an ex-Con-
federate, was the Chief Marshal Of the day.
Colonel William G. P. Breckinridge, an ex-
Confederate, made the address Of welcome.
Judge Jerre R. Morton, an ex-Confederste,
presented the encampment IN neat
speech with gavel made from wood grown
on the battlefield of Chickamauga.
The only Federal soldier to make an ad-
dress was General Samuel E. Hill, Adjutant-
General Of Kentucky under Governor Buck
ner. he accepted the gayel on behalf OF
the Grand Army Of the Republic. he made
what was considered the best speech Of the
afternoon, and when he spoke Of how the
old soldiers had buried the hatchet he asked
Judge Morton to rise. They clasped hands,
and in this position General Hill finished
his address amid deafening and prolonged
applause. Then five hundred school chill
dren sang "Dtxie.''
About 1000 persons were In attendance.
The parade was participated In by all OF the
larger Southern military organizations.
The encampment was held at the Chau-
tauqua grounds.

BOY MURDERER HANGED.

Executed In New Jersey.

Elmer Clawson the Youngest Person Ever
Executed In New jersey.
Elmer Clawson, a boy Of nineteen year,
of age, was hanged Wednesday in the Som.
erset County Jail at somerville, N. j., for
the murder Of Harry Hodgett, his former
employer. He was the youngest murderer
executed in the State, and next to the
youngest person convicted Of capital crime
In New Jersey. The drop fell at 1907
o'clock, q. m, and in nine minutes the
young murderer was pronounced dead.
Before the execution he admitted his guilt
and expressed contrition for his crime.
He was attended by Rev. ]. o. Wiener OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church OF Somer-
Vile, who said that he had baptized the
condemned youth.
The crime for which Clawson paid the
death penalty was committed ate o'clock
on the morning Of August 20. 1896. The
victim was his former employer, Harry
Hodgett, an Englishman, thirty years Of
age, the owner OF q small farm at Pluck
amin. Clawson demanded work and q
quarrel followed, Hodgett accusing the
young man Of having robbed HIM while In
his employ year before. During quar-
rel the youth shot Hodgett. The murderer
then rode away on his bicycle, but was
oyertaken by two men In buggy.

NEW MOTIVE POWER USED.
Electricity Tested on the New England
Railroad.

The directors Of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, In
conjunction with the directors Of the New
York and New England Railroad Company,
have begun the most important experiment
ever undertaken by those who believe In
the ultimate supremacy Of electricity over
steam as motive power. A train moved
and controlled by electricity developed at
q central power-house was run from Ber-
lin, Conn, to Hartford, on regular sched-
ule between two trains drawn by steam
locomotives, In the ordinary way. The
electrically equipped train did not In any
way interfere with the passage Of the train
drawn by locomotives. This Is important
as showing that railroads on which there
Is large and constant volume Of passen-
ger traffic may be gradually changed from
steam to electricity without any interfer-
ence with the comfort Of passengers.
Colonel II. Il. Heft, the chief electrial en-
gineer Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, demonstrated that q
direct current Of electricity can be aent
without serious loss from leakage for dis
tance Of nearly thirteen miles from
the central power station. Taking In
this case, Berlin, Conn.,, as the centre, It
will be possible to replace steam locomo-
tfves and cars for Hartford, New Britain,
Meridsn, Waterbury, Middletown, Walling-
ford and other cities Of the Nutmeg State,
comprising population Of over 200, 900 In
habitants.
