STATE FAIR CATALOGUE.
Is Out Today and Cau Be Had By Calling On Secretary BI. E,
 Bloom.

The State Fair catalogue is out and was delivered on Thursday af- ternoon to Secretary M. B, Bloom.
 The catalogue is in every particu- lar one of the largest and hand somest extant. It contains 168 pages, well filled with the lists of premiums, descriptive matter and advertising, and is enveloped in a handsome cover in colors with a United States flag in national colors on the first outside cover page. An excellent half-tone engraving of the Boston Ladies Female Band is also one of the attractive features. One of the most interesting and valuable contributions to the cata- logue is descriptive article of Arkansas, dealing with the States resources and advantages, by the Hon. W. G. Vincenheller, State Commissioner of Mines, Manufac- lures and Agriculture. Descriptive articles of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county will also be found within the folds of she catalogue, and alto gether it contains much information which has permancy of value, and ''after the fair is over" the cata- logue will be found to have value as "thing of beauty" and book of reference.
 The catalogue was gotton out un- der the direction of Mr. J. W. Adams, Chief of the Bureau of Pub- licity and Promotion of the Pine Bluff State Fair Association, while the entire mechanical work was done by the Adams Wilson Print ing Co.,, of this city. In that con- nection it will not be inappropriate to state that the entire mechanical work was done in Pine Bluff, includ- ing the dogssasaer back and bind ing, and n aing Came from abroad exees es gpe aud paper and some a' ae advertisement Is. This fact, ak, is altogether creditable U flne Bluff, and worthy of mention, since the mechanical ex- ecution would do credit to metro politan prin ting establishment.
 The catalogues are now in the hands of Secretary NJ. E. Bloom, who has charge of the distribution of same. Parties desiring a copy of the catalogue should address or call on hlm at the Citizens Bank.

KNOWN DIPLOMAT
Ex.Minister DENLY Re-
turning to the States.
Has Been Thirteen Years at Picking.
Some Views on the Eastern
situation China.

Charles Denly, ex-United States
Minister to China, is a through pas
senger by the Belgic for his home in
Indiana. He has just completed
long and valuable term OF thirteen
years at Picking, and left after his sue
cesscr had been fully installed into
the duties OF the important office. Mr..
DENLY was sent to China by President
Cleveland early in 1885 and was re-
appointed by each succeeding admins
tration, resignlng few months ago to
return to his old home.
Mr.. DENLY Is man OF commanding
appearance. He is tall, Of large
physique and clean shaven. He is of
the Mckinley type, but larger man.
Though 6S years of age he IS erect ana
active and has sharp, discerning
eye. Like many other diplomats he
asks many questions but says lite.
There Is little to report with re-
speCt to Oriental conditions" answered
Mr.. DENLY. Our relations just now
with both China and Japan are most
friendly. Yes, | believe China views
the appearance of the United States II
Oriental affairs with pleasure. and ]
am satisfied that the Chinese Govern
ment would like TO see our country
keep the Philippines. OF course, how
ever, China is in peculiar position
and | fear her influence upon the sit
uation would not bear with great
force. Japan is unquestionably friend
ly to America. The sentiment of the
press is that the country is largely in
favor of American prestige in the
Philippines, and certainly the Japan
ese would prefer the United States
would keep the Islands to see them go
back to Spain.
'Of course | cannot tell you what |
think the United States will do with
the Philippines, nor can I give you my
ideas of what should be done. | left
Picking on July II, and al that time
the situation in Manila was perhaps
different from what II is now.
Il am glad the Hawaiian Islands
have been gathered in. When here
twelve years ago 1t struck me that the
Islands must ultimately become Amer
lean territory. Since then have been
firm annexationist, and the more
studied the situation and watched cur
growing interests in the Orient, the
clearer 1t dawned upon me that the
proper time for closer union between
the two countries was at hand. Am
erica's trade in China has doubled in
two years. Who can say what 1t will
be in ten years more? BY that time
the Nicaragua canal may be complet-
ed, and these Islands will become the
half way house for our great Oriental
commerce"
Mr.. DENLY had a drive over the city
yesterday afternoon. He found Homo
lulu rather smaller than some towns
in China, but was nevertheless much
impressed with the beauties of the Ha-
waiian metropolis. From Honolulu
the ex-Minister will go direct to Wash
ington to confer with President Nc
Kinley.
At home thirteen years ago Mr. Den
by was prominent lawyer. On &C.
| count of his age he will probably not
return again into active business life
| Two of his sons are in General Miles
army. A third wanted to go but was
stopped by his mother, being under
age
