WONDERS OF pARIS.
Work Has Actually Begun for the Exposition of 1900

dition for the beginning of the erection
Of the buildings, it must be understood
that the work which is now in progress
is simply the first Step-the demolition
Of the buildings which now cover the
site. This is one of the facts which indi-
cate the determination of France to
excel the world. Never before has an
immence section of city's heart been
torn to pieces in an effort to provide
room for an attraction of sufficient
magnitude to make this busy world
pause and wonder.
While all the details of the architec-
ture have not yet been worked out,
1t is certain that the palace of the Tro-
-caderO, which was utilized both for
the eXpositions of 1873 and 1889, will be
used as we'll as several Of the great
exposition halls Of 1889 in the Champs
de Mars, although there will be changes
in all of them. On the site of the Palace
of Industry in which the exposition of
1856 was held, will rise a splendid
structure to be used as the fine arts'hall
of the Expositione Universale.
Just west of this location, and on
the same side of the Champs Elysees,
the ground has been broken for the
hall Of liberal arts, which is to be a
permanent edifice. A broad avenue
will extend between these two build
ings, from the Champs Elysees to the
Seine At it's meeting place with the
river the stream will be spanned by a
stately bridge, which will be known
as the Alexander bridge, for the pres
ent emperor laid the corner stone of
the foundations thereof on his recent
visit to Paris. It is promised that this
bridge will not only be remarkable
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-03-28

Work has actually been begun on the
grounds where the year 1900 will see
the Paris exposition, the greatest show,
by long odds, that has ever been Of
fered to the public Of the world. The
spot chosen for the site is one partial
ly covered with buildings, and most OF
these are now in course of demolition.
In their place will rise a pleasure city
that will outrank those of the tales OF
the Arabian Nights"
No city anywhere, not even in the
United States, contains in it's center
an area of land equally available for
exposition purposes When you stop
to consider that this wonderful show
is to be held not in the outskirts Of
this, one Of the oldest and most beau
tiful of the European centers Of popula-
ton, but in the very heart thereof, you
will be able to form an adequate idea
of the first step toward the construc-
tion of what the Parisians claim will
astonish all mankind.
The site for the exposition includes
the public grounds on both sides Of the
Seine from the Place de la Concord,
that great monumental square in the
citys center, to a point beyond the
Pont de Jena This includes in it's sweep
of territory the Champs de Mars, the
Trocadero palace and park, which was
the site of the exposition of 1889, the
Esplanade des Invalides, the Quai d Or

The Most Favorable Season for
Curing Chronic Catarrh

Winter weather causes catarrh. Ev-
erybody knows this. But everybody
does not stop to think that winter
weather delays the cure Of catarrh. 1t
takes longer to cure a case Of catarrh
In the winter generally than in the
warm season. Spring is here. Now is
the time favorable to the treatment Of
old and especially stubborn cases of
catarrh. Read what old cases Peru
ma can cure under favorable circum-
stances:
J. W. Orpe. Quanah, Texas, writes:
II was afflicted with catarrh for tWen-
ty years; for twelve years had been
partially deaf. I did not think I could
be cured I began taking Pe-ru-na,
and now believe myself to be per-
manently cured"
Just think Of 1t! Now is the best
time to be cured quick. So-called
spring fever is really systemic catarrh.

SEATTLE, Wash, March IA Nam
aimo B. c., dispatch to the Post-In-
telligencer, says: The steamer Bar
barry Boscowitz has arrived from
northern points with eighteen of the
passengers and crew of the steamer
Wfllapa which sailed from Seattle for
Diea, March IS, but ran aground and
became a total wreck on Regatta reef,
seven miles north Of Bella Bella, oppo-
site the lower end Of Queen Charlotte
islands, last Friday morning, during
binding snow storm and heavy gale.
In spite of the large number of pas
sengers, there was no panic or disorder.
When it was found that the tide was
rising as fast in the hold as outside and
the pumps had no effect, the women
were taken in boats to Campbell ISL
ands a distance of two miles, and aft
erwardS the men, dogs and baggage. A
camp was formed and sixty or more Of
the passengers were made as comfort
able as possible, in deserted shacks on
shore. The Boscowitz reached the
wreck on her way south Sunday after
noon and brought all the passengers to
Bella Bella. The BoscOWitz also re-
ports that the steamer Dora, which left
here several days before the WiIlapa,
went on the rocks on Green island,

Mr.. John (Rep., Ind) and Mr.. Ding
ley called attention to the slow progress
which was being made with the bill.
Only nine pages were covered yester-
day. and four hours of work had ad-
Vanced the consideration of the bill
Only two pages UP to this time today.
The house, Mr.. Dingley said, was vast
ing it's time in irrelevant discussion
Mr.. Dockery in reply, said it could not
be expected that the opposition would
not assail this bill in every feature
He suggested that the time be extend
ed, SO that the bill could be adequate
ly considered. The little talk served to
expedite matters somewhat, and the
clerk proceeded with the reading of
the bill. A committee amendment to
place duty Of cents per pound on
chlorate of soda, was agreed to.
Mr.. Newlands (silverite, Nev) after
delivering some remarks in favor of
increases on several articles, warned
the 'allied forces of silver" as he
termed them, that they must allow the
widest divergence of views on the tariff
and other questionsy if they were to
live in harmony. Once we can organ
ize the friends of silver" said he "sev-
en-tenths of the people of the United
States will be with u.s."

discussion which aroused considerable
partisan rancor. Mn the course of his
remarks, Mr. Lentz denounced Mr.
Cleveland as the agent and political
bedfellow Of the Republicans. and
when taunted with the fact that ne had
himself been "goldbug," he said he
he gloried in the fact that he had grad
ueted from the class of gold fools"
into that of silver cranks." He argu-
ed that every tariff agitation was an
invitation to the hordes of Europe to
come here and he produced some fig
ures to show that immigration had been
largely increased after the enactment
of the Mckinley law, and decreased
after the enactment of the Wilson law

tion for congress. At AIS p. M, after

Thus it can be fairly said, and for
the first time, that the work of con-

gun. The plans are revised as stated.
The key note Of it all, however, is
the determination of France to excel
everything in the way Of expositions

have accomplished. 1t is her purpose
to spare neither time nor money.

The debate branched off to the iron
schedule. Mr.. Wheeler Oem.. Ala.l
and Mr.. Cox Oem-, Temp asserted
that the Southern from industry did not
want any protection. It was selling
iron in Ptttsburg, and the other iron
centers, and was invading England
without the aid Of protection. Mr.. Dal-
zell Rep.. Pa.). replying, said that con-
vict labor was one Of the main ele-
ments In the cheap production OF iron
in Tennessee.
Mr. Underwood Oem., Ala.) said it
was absurd to claim that the reason
pig iron manufacturers were able to
ship their labor abroad was because
Of the low price paid to labor In the
South. He sald the report Of the labor
commissioner showed that the average
labor cost Of ton of pig iron in the
North was s1.47 and in the South S1.S2.
It was true that the wages paid per
day in the South were probably lower
as negro labor was employed. but the
labor cost was higher. In the rolling
mills of the South, the workmen re-
ceiVed the wages fixed by the Amalga-
mated Association of Steel Workers,
the same wages paid at the North.
The fact that iron, coal and lime were
found side by side in the South con-
st1tuted her advantage.
Mr.. DalZell asserted that iron ore
was being made and coal being mined
in Tennessee by convict labor. The
store system prevailed also in Tennes
see. Mr.. McMillin denied that the
scrip system prevailed in Tennessee.
All the protection Pennsylvania could
pile up, he said, would not save the
Pennsylvania industry. 1t was the
South, he said, which was driving
Pennsylvania out of the market. 1--WE
have only just begun" said he. I'VE
propose to make it hot for you, not
only in iron, but in cotton manufac
ture, and we don't ask government
aid, either. Democratic applause.)

did not compete with Pennsylvania.

Warren, Of Wyoming, was in confer

on schedules affecting Western inter
ests. He made some suggestions con-
corning the wool schedule, especially
concerning thirdclass wools, looking
more, however, to a change in adjust
ment than a change Of rates. The
senator also urged upon the commit,
tee the propriety Of a return to the
policy of putting a duty on hides, which
have been on the free list for several
years, both in the present law and In
the Mckinley law. He also suggested
changes in the rates on soda, asbestos
and plumbago, all Of which are prod
ucts of Wyoming. The committee has
promised to take the suggestions into
consideration, along with others to be
made by other senators, it being un-
derstoOd that all senators are to have

BERLIN, March 27-Prince Ludwig
the heir to the Bavarian throne. who
made sensational speech at the Mos

remarkable speech at Munich, in con-
nection with the centenary of the birth
OF William I. Addressing an audience

That by other Prince Ludwig

the fact that at the close Of his ad-
