with a view OF securing the opinion Of

Mr.. Crldler says there are two salient
features in the general scheme Of the
exposition The first is It's admirable situ-
alton in the center OF Paris; the next the
establishment OF that part Of the Seine
connecting the two extremities Of the
exposition, which will recall TO the visit
or's mind a modern Venice. and which
by It's splendor and magnihcence viii con-
tribute 20 surpass all previous expositions

At one extremity the Trocadero and az
the other the Champs Elyssee will be con-
nected by an immense maritime bOuie-

Secretary Cridler. in concluding his re-

the reason why the Cnited States should
representation at the Paris exposition.
not re dissuaded from full and adequate
representation at the Paris exposition.
He does not openly say so. but neverthe-
less makes It apparent from his report
that he has reference to the threats made
In some quarters tnat the United States
would refrain from making an exhibit
because OF the undue sympathy with
Spain. On this point } Us:
1T would be unfortunate for CONNER
cial reasons were the United States 10 de-
cline TO make an adequate representation.
Congress in 1897, by accepting the inyi-
tation of France to participate, has an
obligation 10 provide the requisite means,
but aside from such Obligation there are
controlling reasons why the government
should be properly represented. The vast
interests OF our country should be dis
played advantageouslv IN competition
with those of all foreign lands. In this
our merchants and manufacturers are
concerned, and in proportion as they show
the people Of the earth who will be con-
gregated at Paris, how great are our raw
products, our manufactures and our in
ventions. will credit be reflected upon us
as nation. The growing export trade
Of the United States would also gain by
an exhibit, for as 1t Is. our goods are
already gaining headway in Europe. A
complete exhibit at Paris will deeply i'm
press the commercial AFFAIRS OF the world
there to be assembled, and rebound i'm
mediately 10 the credit and lasting bene-
n, of our American commerce"
Mr.. Cridler asserts that the coming ex-
position will surpass in beauty and gran
deur any similar exposition OF the past,
and says the United States should be
widely represented. He closes with a
Recommendation that permanent COM
mission be Immediately established.
