SPANISH PRIvATEERING.

The Declaration of Paris" so-called.
which was a formal International
agreement that letters Of maroue for
priveteering should no longer be recog-
nized as belonging to modern naval
warfare, was not agreed to or signed
by either the United States Of America
or by Spain. SO Spanish officials take
comfort that no matter what the out
come might be they would succeed in
destroying our commerce on the high
seas Too late, Mr.. Hidalgo. The Ala
bana and narrow minded congress de-
stroyed our merchant marine years
ago. There are at present five sbins
crossing the Atlantic under the Ameri
can flag. In case eff war four Of these

THE OMAHA EXPOSITION.

Further time has been granted by
the executive committee to intending
exhibitors to close contracts for space
at the Trans Mississippi Exposition.
On May % no further exhibits will be
received, and any exhibitor not having
his material on the ground at that time
will be shut out This rule will be
strictly enforced as the entire time be-
tween then and June l must be utilized
for the installing of exhibits so that
everything will be in readiness for the
inspection Of visitors when the gates
are opened. Exception VIII be made
to this rule in certain cases VIII ere eX-
hibits have been unavoidably delayed
for some good reason. When such cases
occur exhibits will be admitted to the
ground after June 10, but between May
% and June 10, no exhibits will be re-
ceiVed. This step is necessary in order
to avoid confusion in the installing
work preparatory to opening. Ten days
later a few exhibits, chiefly those of
horticulture and agriculture which
cannot be made ready by June 1, will
be received. On May the floor in each
of the exhibition buildings will be dia-
grained with black lines showing the
proper space assigned to each exhib-
itor.

Mexican SnaD shots.

! Here are few curious things that may
! be noted in Mexico:
| The ceilings of rooms are universally
made of stretched canvas, covered with
wall paper or more frequently frescoed.
The wood-passer is a third may that
| is required upon many locomotives in the
republic on which wood is used instead of
! coal
The price of fruit is naturally reversed
in Mexico, and a dozen fine oranges can
always be purchased for the price of one
good American apple.
Very few houses are fitted with station
airy bath tubs. Every one is supposed to
own a bath tub, and when you move from
with you.
Door knobs not only turn to the left
so that you skin your knuckes on the
other door, but locks are always put on
upside down, according TO American ideas,
that is, so that the key has to be inserted
with the stem at the bottom.
Ladies dress up" much more than they
do in the United States, and many do
their morning shopping in silks and satins,
of the most delicate shades.
While passing through some of the dry
portions of the country it is impossible
to carry a sufficient water supply for the
engine on the tender. and a tank car is at
tached with sufficient supply TO carry
the train through 10 the next water sta
ton.

Along the Kansas Nile.

The equinoctial storm in Kansas this
year had apricots on its menu.
Mr.. Coburn seems to be suffering from a
| severe case of intermittent ambition.
In the state Republican convention the
| governor will be nominated first. instead
of the associate justice, as hitherto.
What Kansas needs is some military
commander who will deconcentrado John
/ Seaton in Atchison and keep him recon
| centradoed.
Professor Hills of sedgwick City has
resolved to run for congress, expecting TO
! take Harvey county's delegation into the
| convention with him.
In its local columns the Atchison Globe
| refuses TO make a personal mention of a
/ girl who is staying at a neighbours house
! because her brother has the measles.
| John Seaton's boom has become so
| tiresome to Atchison that the town has
| fallen TO discussing whether the plural
OF goose egg is geese egg or goose eggs.
! Missouri paper calls Mrs. Lease
demagogue. Mrs. Lease never was a dem
| agogue- Had she been she would have
Travelled over Kansas making speeches
in a sun-bonnet.
In the struggle for the nomination for
congress among the Republicans OF the
First district, Broderick has carried Ne
maha county, practically showing Bailey,
II is said, out OF the race.
Mr.. Coburn is going 10 try the expert
ment Of having two heralds blow shrfIly

tistics show the smallness of the
American marine trade. This does not
mean that there is not plenty of Amer
| lean capital interested in ocean trans
portation, but the vessels fly foreign
| flags. Take the Red Star line, for in
stance, owned by Americans, but IN
der the Belgian flag. No power warning
with America can seize these vessels
and their cargoes. In the last calendar
year the value of the combined ex-
ports and imports Of the United States
was 81, 842, 374 904. But of this merchan-
disc foreign vessels carried s1,551, $685.
portations and importations were but
1926, 451, 469, or Is per cent Of the whole.
Of this 16 per cent $102, $50, 319 was car
ried in cars or land conveyances, in
dicating the exports and imports be-
tween Canada and Mexico and the
Tn ted States. Thus, Of American i'm
ports or exports, the value Of those
actually carried across the seas under
the American flag was but $1S7. S95, $50.
Of this amount but $53.371, $50 was car
ried in American sailing vessels; the
remainder in American steamers.
At the outbreak of war nearly all of
the American steam vessels are subject
to impressment as auxiliary cruisers
and would be QUILTED as cruisers
and withdrawn from the freighting
trade Their trade would naturally go
to the vessels flying foreign flags. The
sailing vessels would be laid UP in port,
for their trade. as can be seen, is in
considerable, but $50, 600, 900 out of near
ly $4,000. 600 000 The business men of
Spain, no matter how patriotic, are not
going to equip privateers to prey upon
such an insignificant commerce, and
one liable in a week to entirely disap-
pear.
Our coast trade is not considered at
all. For Spanish privateers to attack
it they would have to cross the ocean.
They would be beyond their base of
coal supply and therefore rendered
useless

The introduction Of electric energy
into Cripple Greek district by the
Colorado Electric Power company,
whose fine plant at Canon City, twenty
four miles distant, L already taxed to
meet the demand, has demonstrated
that electric power is cleaner and
more economical. The transmission
Of power. so little considered few
years since, has now become leading
feature in Colorado mining.
The Colorado Electric Power CON-
pany has already installed in the Grip

CANON cITY'S BIG GENERATING PLANT
Attracting Considerable Attention from Manufacturers Mining
Men.-Fory Eight Motors Contracted for the Greatest
Gold Camp Earth..Are Clean and Cheap.

After passing a week or ten days
in the home of the big red apple"
and enjoying the hospitality of our
people. Editor Schick Of the Victor
Record went home imbued with an
enthusiasm which found vent in the
following language:
Last week representative of the
Recoro had the pleasure Of inspecting
the plant of the Colorado Electric
Power company at Canon City. The
manager. H. H Wilson, explained the
intricacies and beauties of the ultra
modern plant Of machinery which
generates the current.
Mr.. Wilson states that there are
forty-eight motors contracted for in
this district. The power used from
each of the immnnse dynamos is
shown by a register. Thus every
motion Of the electric hoists is regis
tered at Canon. "a miles away. An
other ingenious device records auto
maticaliy the steam pressure for every
hour Of the day. The loss in trans
mixsion of power is only about Z per
cent. and the line Is efficiently pro-
tected against electrical disturbances
by numerous lightning arresters.
