Interest in the protected internation-
al exposition at Paris three years hence
Is beginning to show itself at the
French capital. Inquiries from all
quarters of the globe are pouring in,
and nations other than the United
States have manifested an intention of
taking a conspicuous part. American
merchants and manufacturers, how
ever, are greatly interested, and for
that reason, Consul-General Morss has
made an extended report on the. SUBJ
ject to the State Department. Prepara-
tons for the exposition are even now
well advanced. The works of demoli-
ton and construction, for which the
period of a little more than three years
remaining will barely suffice, have be-
gun and will be vigorously prosecuted.
The exposition will open April Is, 1900
and will close November 5, nearly sew
en- months later. The site will COM
prise the public grounds on both sides
Of the Seine from the Place de la Con-,
eorde, the great monumental square in
the very center of the city, to point
beyond the Pont d'Jena, embracing the
Champ de Mars, the Trocadero Palace
and Park (site of the exposition Of
1880, the Esplanade des Invalides, the
Quai d'Orsay, the Quai de la Confer
ence, the Cour la Refine and a large
section of the Champs Elysees, includ-
ing the site Of the Palais de l'Industrie,
the great building erected for the in
ternational exposition of 1855, the first

The Waters Are Receding and the
Trouble Is Thought to BE Over.
Bismarck, n. D., April 13.-The flood
reached it's crest Sunday and it is now
safe to say that the trouble is over.
The waters began to recede in the af-
ternoon and fell nine feet. The river
is now confined to it's banks for the
first time in a week.
Grand Forks-The river has receded
materially. The government steamer,
which started down the river from this
city on Friday on an errand of relief to
the needy farmers below, was DAM
aged by ice and had to be grounded to
keep her from sinking. No lives were
lost and it may be possible to save the
steamer.
Pembina-The rise for the last forty
eight hours has been 5.5 feet. It will
have to go 6.75 feet more before it
reaches the 1882 mark, and 6 feet be-
fore it gets to the mark of 1893. There
is no loss as yet.
Caledonia 49, The Goose river, which
enters the Red mile and half from
this place, is now very high from back
water, but is falling. 1t has been 2
feet above the 1882 mark. The water
is over the approaches to the bridge
and well up toward the second story of
the mill. Many farmers along the Red
and along this part of the Goose have
had to move to higher ground. Stock
has all been driven to safer places 50
far as heard from.
Hillsboro = Goose river is falling
here. Weather is very fine and roads
improving, though still almost i'm
passable for vehicles. Travel is main
~ on horseback or afoot. Seeding will
not begin for a week.
Kelso-The north branch Of the Elm
is SO full Of snow in deep drifts that
the water has left it's channel and is
running through the west side of the
village along the railroad and spread
ing over part Of the country southwark.
This stream, which had no running
water in it last fall, is filled SO full Of
snow banks, hard packed, especially in
the timber, that it will require consid-
cradle time for the water to open it's
regular channel. In the meantime it
may do harm to farms all along it's
route

Not One Left by the Flood In Sphinx
County.
Redfeld, s. d., April II. Sphinx coun-
tvs Hood experience has been a marvel.
South of Athol Little Snake creek is a
mile wide, and, by actual measure
ment, thirty feet deep, where it crosses
the wagon road. Farmer Childs, a
mile and a half below Ashton, was
obliged to place his livestock in the
loft Of his barn to keep the animals
from drowning. At the present time
above the food, and he estimates the
depth Of water to be fifteen feet above
the highest mark Of 1881. Scarcely a
wagon bridge is left in all of Sphinx
county, while along the river great
growing trees have been lifted bodily,
together with masses Of frozen snow
and ice, and carried down stream.

st. Vincent, Mimi, April 13.-The ice
has been running out steadily the past
tWenty-four hours. It is sixteen days
earlier than 1893. The river is within
one foot of the height Of last June.
Both benches of the bank are covered,
and families are moving from the low
er end of the village. The rise the
past twenty-four hours has been thir-
ty-siX inches. Two more days at the
present rise will flood the greater part
of the village. No seeding has been
attempted. A drizzling rain is falling.
Ortonville-Big Stone lake is rising
at the rate of two or three inches per
day, and now extends down over the
Minnesota river valley about mile to
the Milwaukee roads embankment,
which forms complete dam across the
entire valley, without any culverts,
outlets or bridges except small trestle
over the Minnesota river. The COM
pary has a large crew and gravel train
at work repairing the embankment
and elevdting the track at low places,
and checking the washout in the side
track at Kaerchers Mills. It is report
ed that the waters of Lake Traverse
and the Red river are running south
ward into Big Stone lake in a great
volume, and that a rise of several feet
in Big Stone lake is certain to follow.
Hallock - The river here is rising
slowly, only coming up four inches in
the last tWenty-four hours. It is still
we'll within it's banks and will have to
rise several feet yet to reach the high
water mark Of last year, and nearly

INDIAN BALL PLAYER SHOT FOR

full blooded Choctaw Indian who PLAYED
ball here with others of his tribe. was
shot in Eagle county, l. t., Novembe 1
o. The Supreme Choctaw Council af-
tirmed the sentence of the lower court
which said that Walla Tonaka was gull.
ty of murder in the first degree.
The case of Walla Tonaka has created
interest and comment all over the Unit
ed States. The Convention Hall Com
mlttee last summer, as a means of rails
ing funds for the erection of the hall. de-
cided to lave game of Indian ball bv
Choctaws from the IEdian Territory. In
one of the teams that came here and
played was Walla Tonala, who was then
under sentence of death.
According to the custom of the Chloe.
taws, this young Indian was allowed To
90 and come as he pleased, the tribe hav-
ing taken his word that he would be on
hand when the date of his death was
set. This date was afterwards set
and TOnaka was on hand u die Novem-

least, felt that there was any danger in
Ionaka being paroled, as it is believed
by them that should any member con-
demned to death fail to appear in time

his family.
WaIIa Tonaka was first condemned to
die August 5, but he was allowed an an

lie seemed less worried over his fate
than did any OF his companions. He
had little to say however about the
coming death, dsmissing the subject
with:

The crime for which Walla was con-
vlcted was the killing of his uncle. Lamp
son Young, Deputy Sheriff of Eagle
county. The young man, with two other
braves, drank too much whiskey one day
last spring and acted as Indians gener-
ally do under such circumstances. Wal
las uncle, Lamps n, attempted to stop
the disturbance, and as the young men
were p rovided with Winchester rifles
LampsOn 7 ung was killed. Wala and
one of his companions were tried and
convicted OF murder in the first degree.
