A CONFERENCE CALLED
TO CHOOSE DESIGNS FOR PARIS
BUILDINGS
The American Exhibits to Be Housed
in Structure Which Will Win
Admiration

CHICAGO, Dec. GA conference of the
heads of departments of the Paris exposi-
ton commission has been called by Com
missioner-General Peck and will be held this
week after all have reached the city. The
conference is for the purpose OF deciding
on the designs of the several buildings to
be erected by the commission at Paris as
well as arranging as far as possible the de-
tails OF the future work of the several de-
partments.
Assistant CommissionerGen Wood.
ward will arrive this evening. He reached
New York from Paris last Saturday and
has with him all the details of the appor-
tionment OF space to this country There
have been so many changes by the eXposi-
tlon authorities regarding the space to be
given this country that even at the commls-
sion's headquarters some doubt exists as
to just how the space is. The plats which
Commissioner-Ge Woodward has with
him will settle this question and place the
commission IN position where 1t can with
little delay begin the 'apportionment OF
space to exhibitors.
Commissioner-General Woodward has
also with him other important details in
connection with the exposition. He will
probably. be accompanied by Charles r..
Dodge OF Washington, recently appointed
uieVtOT Vi tue department Ul agriculture
and A. c. Capehart of Ohio, director OF the
liberal arts department.
Major Fred Bracket, secretary of the
commission, j. B. Caldwell, director OF the
department of fine arts, and John Getz,
director of the department OF the decora-
ton of the buildings, will probably arrive
tomorrow. 1t is expected the conference
will continue for at least week. NJ. Gous
tieux OF Paris, appointed by Mr.. Peck chief
architect in connection with the erection
OF the American buildings at Paris, will
also be present, and will submit certain
plans which he has prepared for the con-
sideration of the commission. Mr.. Peck's
purpose is to appoint an American archi
tect, probably Chicagoan, as an associate
of NJ. Goustieux, and that he probably
would participate in the conference.
The buildings for which designs are now
being submitted by architects of Chicago,
New York and other cities, are the govern
ment building and an annex to the manu-
facturers' building. 1t is the purpose later
on to provide for the erection of forestry
pavilion, but this will not be undertaken
for some time.
The government building is the one which
is concerning the commission more than any
other, for it is desired to have it conspicuous
as monument of the best architectural
skill.

WITLANDfRS' WRONGS
THREATENING TROUBLE IN
SOUTH AFRICA
B0ER TALK OF A BRITISH WAR
Dutch Newspapers Advocate Immedi-
ate Massacre Of All Afrikander
Ward Inhabitants
Associated Press Special Wire

LONDON, Dec. pa disquieting situa-
ton is developing at johannesburg. Ac-
cording to the latest advices the place is
seething with discomfort, as on the eve OF
the Jamison raid, in consequence OF recent
and proposed government measures which
the Uitlanders regard as being "a fresh series
of impositions. In addition, racial ansmos-
tiles are intensifying at the vexatlous treat
ment of the British and Cape boys, which
is causing much bitterness.
There was a serious development last
week when Boer policeman murdered an
Englishman named Edgar, entering the lat
ter's house and shooting him. The police
man was arrested on the charge, but on the
following day the charge was reduced 10
one of manslaughter and the policeman was
allowed his liberty on bail. The British
agent demanded restitution Of the charge
Of murder, and mass meeting, which was
attended by 5000 Uitlanders, was held at
Johannesburg on Sunday to protest against
the murder of Edgar and to present the Brit
ish Consul with strongly worded petition
to the Queen, reciting the wrongs of the
Uitlanders, appealing for protection and de-
manding such other steps as may be found
necessary to terminate the existing intol-
cradle state of affairs.
There were no speeches, owing to the laws
prohibiting political demonstrations. The
petition was presented to the Consul on the
balcony of the consulate, the whole multi
tude signifying assent by uplifting their
hands, References to the Boer policemen
elected shouts of "lynch him." The meet
ing, however, was peaceful with the excep-
tion of slight affray with the police at its
conclusion.
The newspapers publish venomous arti-
cles on the subject. The Boer organ, the
Rand Post, yesterday discussed the pros
pect of war with Great Britain and advised
that on the first British act of war the
women and children at johannesburg be
given twenty-four hours to leave and that
the whole place be then RACED and that
''the perpetrators of those turbulent pro-
ceedings, if caught, should be thrown in the
deep shafts of their mines, with the debris
of their machinery for costly shrouds,' and
adding that ''the whole of johannesburg
will exult if the Afrikauder ward is con-
verted into gigantic rubbish heap as a
mighty tombstone for the Shutdown authors
of the monstrous deed"
