FROM FAs OFF RUSSIA.
A Unique Department to be Added to
the Exposition.


the Exposition.
From letter received this morn
ing from Miss Alice Donlevey,
secretary of the New York Ladies'
Art Association, it appears that the
exposition is to have a Russian de-
partment, to be in charge of Miss
Vera Pollikoff, manager of the Rus
sian Cottage Industries, New York.
This will, no doubt, prove one of
the most unique exhibits of the ex-
position.
Madame Pogosky, who represented
the work of Russia at the Worlds
Fair, is now on her way toa England
from Russia. She has been connect.
ed with the Princess Shakowskoy.
Miss Pollikoff is the representative
Of his movement in America.
"There is a great movement all
over Russia says the letter, "led by
ladies and artists to prevent emigra'
ton by securing orders for the peo'
pie at homeland especially to keel
women out Of factories"
Miss Pollikoff was a teacher in
Moscow, Russia. She will have
charge of the Russian exhibit, anC
will probably wear the Russian cos
tune.
The society of artists of Atlants
has held meeting, and decided t.
send an exhibit.

Spanish Reports on the Losses In
CURED by Themselves and the

LIE Temps, Paris, says that since
the war in Cuba began Spain has
sent to that island 40 generals; 564
commissioned officers, 6,185 non

men, making all told an army of
185 963 soldiers.

stoned officers and 80 non commits
stoned officers. Notwithstanding the
silence of the official reports in re-
gard to the number of soldiers that

nary sickness or accidents, it is be-
lieyed that over 10000 soldiers have
perished. The ocean liners and

route or after having reached their

The losses of the Spanish army

"This railroad lease question is
going to be the main issue in the

party was the only party that de-
clared opposition to this lease in its
platform last year. See if one of

All persons favoring the annul-
ment of the lease are asked to enlist
in the Populist party.
"Ever since the hot fight which
arose between the Populists and Re-
publicans on the senatorial question
there have been vagrant suggestions
and fugacious hints that the Popu-
lists and Democrats would form a
coalition for th1 next election If
there ever was a possibility of such
a thing, it has been knocked into
froth and fog by the Democrats by

this evening in headquarters, to de-
eide about the trip to Charlotte to
participate in the tournament on the

aggregate about $1,000, and the
Asheville fire laddies are having daily
practice to get in trim for the con
tests. 1t is expected Hook and Lad
der company No. l will go Is strong,
while Hose company No, expects to
go with 20. Their going will not
leave the city at the mercy of fire, as
