PARIS EXPOSITION.

The acceptance OF this government OF
| the invitation OF the republic OF France
to participate In the universal exposition
Of i9oO at Paris was Immediately followed
by the appointment Of a special commits
sIoncr TO represent the United States in
the proposed exposition with special rtt.
crcnce TO the securing Of space of an ade-
quatc exhibition on behalf OF the United
States.
The special commissioner delayed his
departure for Paris long enough to asccr-
tain the probable demand for space by
American exhibitors His inquiries d--
vcloped an almost unprecedented interest
In tho proposed exposition and the infor-
nation thus secured enabled him TO Justi-
fy an application for a much larger al.
lotmcnt OF space for THE American sec
tlon than had been reserved by the expo
sltion authorities, The result was par
ticulnrly gratifying in view OF the fact
that the United States was one OF the
last countries to accept the invitation OF
France.
The reception accorded our special COM
missioner was most cordial and he was
given every reasonable assurance that
the United States would receive consld-
eration commensurate With the proper
tlons OF our exhibit
The report of the special commissioner
as to the magnitude OF the coming expo
sltion and the demand for space for
American exhibits supplies new argu-
ments for liberal and judlcious appro-
prlatlon by congress- to the end that an
erhlbit fairly representative of the indus
tries and resources OF our country may be
made In an exposition which will illus
trate the worlds progress during the lsth
century. The exposition Is intended to b
the most important and comprehensive
OF the hong series Of international exhibl-
tlons of which our own Chicago was a
brilliant example, and 1t Is desirable that
the United States should make a worthy
exhibit Of American genius and skin.
