THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

Russia the First to Accept the Invitation
for the Fair of 1900.
Russia is the first among the great
European Powers to accept the invita-
ton to the Paris Exhibition of 1900.
Since the presentation by M. Bouge Of
his report on the bill the exhibition has
been the object Of lively discussion. A
struggle is in progress between the
Government-which is not satisfied
with the left bank of the Seine alone
for the exhibition grounds, but would
add that part of the Champs Elysees
reaching almost from the Place de la
Concorde to the Avenue d'Antin-and
NJ. Bouge and his supporters, who would
confine the grounds to the left bank,
with the Trocadero.
1t is thought that Parliament will
adopt NJ. Bouge's report with slight
notifications. The enthusiasm which,
at the start, greeted the idea of uni
versal exhibition to close the century
has vanished. 1t was promoted by the
desire to prevent Germany from seizing
on 1900 for an exhibition in Berlin. The
Figaro denounced Germany as wishing
to deprive France of her right to that
year. NJ. Francois Deloncle lost no
time in bringing in bill for an exhi
bition in order 10 steal march on Ger

not. Germany did not show it, and her

is possible. however. that the Chamber,
thinking France rich enough to pay
even for follies, may adopt the original
scheme.

immigration In 1897.

Only intolerablc conditions at home,
great hope of improvement elsewhere,
or reckless spirit of adventure could
lead one to cross the ocean and land
upon foreign shore with only SIS
cash in hand. Yet the data furnished
by the Commissioner General of In
migration show that SIS was the
average amount of money in the pos
session of the a3o,S3a immigrants
who came to the United States in the
fiscal year 1897. Even this amount
was 81 more than the average for the
year 1896. The fact that aso,Ss2
persons attempted new life, in a
strange country, on an average capital
of SIS is forclble demonstration of
the desperation melted by old world
wretchedness.
The decrease of immigration from
1896 is 5S per cent. The percentage
OF llliterates over IS years of age is
80. Fifty-two per cent. of the 1897
immigrants came from Austria Hun
gary, Italy, Poland and Russia. Thir-
ty-elght per cent. came from the
United Kingdom, France, Germany
and Scandinavia. Thirty six per cent.
of the 1896 immigrants had no occu-
patton, whatever and 46 per cent,
were farmers, laborers or servants.
Seventy-twO per cent of the immi-
grants of 1896 were destined for
Illinois, Massachusetts, New York
and Pennsylvania, and II per cent.
for the States South of the Potomac
and Ohio or West of the Mississippi.
That the volume of immigration
swings upon industrial activity in this
country is indicated by the fact that
the total was one-third larger In 1906
than in 1895 and in 1897 fell below
that of IS95.-Ee.

Paris. June affections were held
yesterday to replace one-third Of the
senators, whose terms are expiring The
senators will hold Office for three years.
The Radical and Socialist candidates
and numerous Extremists had hoped to
secure enough seats to change the char
acter Of the senate and to prevent a re-
currence OF the constitutional struggle
which occurred last April between the
senate and the Bourgeois cabinet. Their
platform called for the election of sena-
tors by usual suffrage. Their hopes
were blighted. all of the Socialists having
been defeated. The complete results OF
the election for senator's show the cleo
ton of 64 Republicans, 21 Radicals and

at Martins house. and that Kenison
had struck Bachelor with a sled stake.

elder. who was considerably intoxi-
Gated. was helped into his sleigh by
Martin and Flint and started toward
home. The next morning Bachelor
was found beside the road and died
shortly after he was discovered without
regaining consciousness.
The coroner's jury returned q verdict
on Saturday to the effect that Bache!-
der's death was due to exposure and
loss of blood. and accused Leslie A.
Kenison of assault on Bachelor with
intent to kill Kenison was arrested on
this charge and is now in jail here.
After the cosoner's inquest Martin drove
home to North Sebago with his brother
in-law, Flint, and Saturday night
stayed at Flint's house, where Mrs.
Martin had been during her husbands
absence in Portland.
Yesterday morning Martin kissed his
wife and children good bye and started
for his home, two miles distant. Half
an hour later his dead body was found
in the barn. 1t was clearly a case of
suicide. 1t is believed that Martin did
not tell all he knew concerning Bach
elders death and the trouble at Mar
tins house. Kenison's case will be ma
terially affected by the suicide of Mar
tin. as his death deprives the state Of
its most important witness.

AMERICAN GIRLS MISTAKES
Princess Caraman. China Writes 10 a Brussels
Newspaper

Brussels, Jan. 4-Writing to a Brus-
sells newspaper. the Princess of Cara
p.an-Chimay, formerly Miss Clara Ward
Of Detroit, protests against the press
campaign of publicity and calumny in
connection with her elopement with the
Hungarian gypsy musician, Janesi
RIGGS. The princess says:
American children are educated with
a view to asserting their independence,
and, when necessary, braving the worlds
rrejudices and calumnies. That, how
ever, does not preserve the American
girl from the possibility of falling into
error. / drifted with the fashion die
tating q union between nobility and
wealth. Chicago heiresses are re-
proacned with the pursuits of coronsts.
Surely this is better than pursuing a
dot Having recognized my error and
my heart having spoken, two courses
were open to me, namely, adultress,
hypocrisy or leaving the marital domi-
cile.'
The princess then concludes: II chose
the latter, fully recognizing to what !
exposed myself. The divorce law was
not made for nothing, and my position
will eventually be legalized, my mar
riage with RIGGS being only question
Of time
1t is stated that their finances will
soon compel the Princess of Chimay-
Caraman and the Gypsy RIGGS to aban-
don their luxurious mode of living.
Minnesota Auditors Recommendations.
St. Paul, Jan. 4.-The biennial report
Of State Auditor Robert G. Dunn to the
Minnesota legislature has been given to
the press, and gives some startling fg-
ures and recommendations drawn from
q rigid Interpretation of the law and a
careful examination Of the records of his
office, which includes the law depart
ment. The auditors conclusions and
recommendation regarding mineral
lands, however are most startling. He
recommends that the Legislature. direct
that action be begun in the courts look
ing to the recovery of lands already con-
veyed to the Duluth and Iron Range rail
road, amounting to 100000 acres, and
that the remaining portion, 403, 900 acres,
be declared forfeited. These lands, con-
servatively valued, are worth $1,000, 900,
being located exclusively in st. Louis,
Lake and Cook counties, which comprise
the mineral and timber portions Of the
state. He then calls attention to the
constitutional provision that all state
lands must be sold at public auction.
AS the timber has been considered part
of the realty, it has been sim oarly dis
posed of, and the state auditor now
raises the question whether the mineral
Is not also a part of the realty, and
should not be disposed in like manner.
The Rockefellers and the Minnesota
Iron company hold 80 per cent Of the
mining contracts on state lands, inciud-
ing the famous oliver mine, with its
great ore deposits, and these were all
secured at private sale, SO that IL his
contention be approved there would be
q general shaking up in mineral con-
tracts.
