SOUTH AMERICAN INTEREST
Republics Nay Parade Their Products at the
Omaha Show.
EXPOSITION MAY D1AW From THERE
George w. Fishbnck of philadelphia
Writes TO the Department of EN-
hibits on Question of
great Moment.

The way is opening for exhibits at the
Transmississippi Exposition by the republics
of South America, and the indications are
that official exhibits will be made by the
governments OF those countries. Among the
exhibits which will probably be secured from
this source is a mineral collection from the
Argentine Republic which was at the
Worlds fair, and which is ead to be the
finest coilection OF it's kind In the world.
An offer of 500 900 for this collection was
refused by the owner, who is the director Of
the Department OF Mines OF Argentine.
The opportunity to secure these South
American exhibits comes to the exposition
management through George w. Fishback
of Philadelphia, who has been in close touch
with the officials of the republics Of the
southern continent. He was a resident OF
the Argentine Republic for six years in rn
official capacity and visited all of the re-
publcs last year as the official representa-
tive of the Department Of State to invite
those governments to send delegates to the
panameTioan convontion, which was held in
Philadelphia last June.
Mr.. Fishback writes to tho Department OF
Exhibits that he is quite positive that If
properly approached the Argentine Republic
Brazil, Chilli and Peru would make govern
ment exhibits of their resources, including
grains and other natural products and manu-
factured goods. Argentine and Brazil, he
says, could make fine exhibits of hard woods
and all of the states could exhibit their
manufactured products, giving the manu-
facturers OF this country an intelligent idea
of the competition they would have to meet
in shipping goods to those countries. He
also says that he feels certain that he could
arrange, through friends in the Argentine Re
public. to secure the magnificent mineral
collection which was exhibited at the Worlds
fair as a part of the mining exhibit at the
Transmissssippi Exposition, as he has been
informed that the owner of the collection is
willing to allow II to be returned to this
country with a view of its ultimate sale.
Mf. Fishback also makes several sugges-
ti0us regarding amusement features which he
says might be secured from these South
American countries. Among these he sug-
gests a company of guachos, corresponding
to the cowboys Of the western plains, who
could give an entertaining exhibition, show
ing how wild steers and ostriches are lassoed
on the pampas OF their native country. He
also refers to the national game of hand ball.
corresponding to the national game Of base
ball, aud says that a company Of natives
could give an interesting show by playing
this game.
The suggestions outlined by Mr.. Fishback
will be given serious consideration by the
Department of Exhibits and negotiations will
be opened with the countries named with a
view of securing these exhibits.

Doesn't Affect Local Traffic.

There will be meeting of the passenger
officials of western lines in Chicago today
20 consider the best plan of keeping accounts
in connection with the sale OF the inter-
changeable mileage tickets On Wednesday
the same officials will meet in Chicago to
devise ways and means of preventing com
plete Generalization OF western passenger
rates.
Since the cut OF tine rate from Chicago to
st. Paul to 81 from IS, a total reduction
within a few weeks OF $3.50, there has been
the greatest fear that the fever OF reduction
Will spread to the territory between Chicago
and Omaha. This fear is due to the fact
that the 81 rate IS now used as a bssing rate
on transcontinental travel. AS the lines from
Chicago TO the Pacific coast through St.
Paul use the 81 rate, II Is only fair that the
lines through Omaha use the same rate The
best posted passenger men here do not look
for any immediate reduction in the regular
fare from Chicago TO Missouri river points
though the 81 rate will be used as basing
rate

NEAR THE TOMB OF RIcHELIEu.
The Treasured Documents of France
Have Found New Home.

%
Have Found New Home.
That famous institution, the Ecole des
Charles, where documents concerning the his
tory Of France are collected and collated by
q hand of patient men, who have taken uu
the work Of cli done by the Benedictine
monks, has now been definitely transferred
from the Rue des Franc-B Bourgeois in the
Bastile direction to the Sorbonne. The new
locale of the school, writes a Paris corre-
spondent is close to the chapel which
tains the tomb of Cardinal Richelieu, and
the institution is thus linked closely for the
future with the Paris university. There
will, therefore be no longer any misunder-
standing about the place, as it is now easily
discernible by the big letters, "Ecole des
Chartes,' over its portal. While buried in
the Rue des Franc-BourFeois the institution
was SO little known to the general public
that even many old Parisians were under
the impression that it was situated in the
sleepy town OF Chartres, which has little to
recommend it save its magnificent cathedral.
or the men who studied and worked at this
school many are no" of world wide reputn-
tion. Four OF them are in the French
academy among the immortals-nameiy, NJ.
Hanotaux, minister for foreign affairs; NJ.
CASTOR Paris, a distinguished Latinist and
writer o. general historical subjects; NJ.
Anatole France, author Of elaborately COM
posed novels. some OF which will live for
their prose and NJ. de Hercdia, not the ex-
minister but the poet of Cuban origin whcse
productions are known to all who follow
the developments OF modern French llte-o-
ture Apart from these well known Chart
istes, as they are called, are many others
of less renown, but equal eruditlon, who
carry on a valuable work in comparative OBJ
scurity, even did the patient and clois-
tered Benedictines of old.

Water Rates.

Now that Judge Munger of the United
States court has handed down decision in
the Omaha Water Works company matter, it
is thought that possibly the question of water
rates for South Omaha will be taken up nt
the meeting of the city council tonight. The
judiciary committee will be expected to make
some sort OF report but it is not thought
that any action toward a reduction of the
rates will be taken, as quite a number of the
councilmen consider that the present rates
are not excessive.
It is claimed that the Water Works COM
pany has been very lenient with the city in
the matter of payment. In times past the city
has owed the company as high as $4,000 for
water and only small portion of the old
debt is taken up annually. About once a
year the city goes into court and confesSes
judgment for 5000 or so and the company
holds this judgment until there is money to
pay it. A charge OF $50 a year is made for
fire hydrants and in comparison with other
cities this is not considered excessive.

State Dcnrd of Transportation Order
Mny Become Effective.

The railroads of Omaha yesterday re-
ceived official notice from the State Board of
Transportation of Nebraska that in the case
of Tibbetts against the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railway the board had decided to
order all railroads in the state to restore car
load rates on shipments OF live stock on or
before December 5, 1897, the rates TO be
restored being the same rates that were in
force prior to August 10, 1897. At the head
quarters OF each of the various railroads no
decision has been reached regarding what
action had been taken on the Official order
OF the board
General Solicitor Manderson Of the B. & NJ
says a decision regarding the action of that
company will be made within few days. He
is inclined to the belief that the order may
be recognized, but not on accouut of the
authority of the State Board OF Transports
tion to order such change in methods. but
because the situation in Kansas, where q
similar step was recently taken would force
all competing lines to make corresponding
changes
