The Wisconsin building is we'll under
way, and is one of the most complete
state buildings on the grounds The
Nebraska building is practically COM
pleted. The plans for the Denver, or
Colorado building, have been accepted,
and the contract will be let in a day

palace have been submitted. 1t will
be constructed wholly of pine donated
handsome structure. The Minnesota
building will be constructed on simple
lines Of unhewn Minnesota logs The
design Of the architects Is most pleas
ing. Plans for the Oregon building are
now being drawn, and will be sub

Members of state commissions of
other states send assurances that plans
for their state buildings will be forth

handsome buildings at the Trans Mis-
sissippi exposition. Thirty-five states
have to date decided to participate in
the exposition. In thirty of these COM
missions have been appointed, and re-
ports from agents in the field are to
the effect that at least five more states

days.
Construction work is fast advancing,
and is progressing in the main court,
the bluff tract and the midway with
great rapidity.
The government building, 800 feet
long, and the pinnacle of whose dome
is nearly 200 feet high, is nearly done.
The management finds it necessary
to build several annexes to accommo-
date the extraordinary demand for ex-
hibit space.

SENATOR DAVIS ON THE CRISIS,
Declares 1t Is the Duty of the United

Arms.

Declares 1t Is the Duty of the United
States to Intervene by Force OF
Arms.
NEW YORK, March 2O.-A dispatch
to the World from Washington says:
/ am asked to give an opinion as to the
duty of this government as to the crisis
which now confronts this country. That
graNe crisis does confront us no sane man
will longer question. Wisdom dictates that
we deal with one question at a time. What
shall we do for Cuba is the question Of the
hour. In saying this 1 do not wish to be
understood as relesating to the rear the
other great question that necessarily must
come up for settlement-viZ,: Fixing of
the responsibility for the loss Of the Maine
and its crew.
At this hour we are in doubt as to the
latter question. We have suspicious, we
surmise but we do not know. We may
never know the exact truth. We must at
least wait for the evidence, and when it is
fairly before us deal judiciously with the
facts presented.
But as to the first great question: How
shall we deal with the Spanish Cuban stu
ation2'' l know of but one proper way
armed Intervention Recognition OF Cuban
independence will not do. Recognition is
closed incident, from the standpoint | look
at things as they exist in Cuba. Spains
policy toward the Cuban is not legal war
pared with which the deeds of Alva and
Spain's bloody treatment of the Palatinate
are as the blaze of a rushlight to the mid
day summers sun. This government has
incontrovertible proof that Spain has will
fully and Systematically murdered, by her
mode Of warfare against the Cubans, hun
dreds of thousands of helpless men, women
and children. Spain has killed by her pol
Icy of concentration a non-arms- bearing
population as large now inhabits the ma
tional capital. Just thing OF 1t.
The policy inaugurated by Weyler is
still pursued. With all these facts before
us the duty of this government is plain;
protests are of no avail. Armed force only
will check the cruel slaughter.

JERSEY GUARDS ALERT.

Orders Given Out to the Several
Regiments to BE Prepared for
Emergencies.
NEW YORK, March 20.-The COM
manding officers of the regiments of
the New Jersey national guard held a
meeting at division headquarters Of
Gen: ]: W. Plume, at Newark, today
There were present Col Campbell
Newark; Col. Hines, Paterson; Col. Lee
Elizabeth; T. S. Chambers, of Trenton
and Gen. P. D. Wanser, commanding
the First brigade, was also present.
The general condition of the troops
was considered, and all reported salts
factorily. 1t was the sense of the meet
ing that as New Jersey has no coast
defenses between Sandy Hook and Cape
May, except a four-gun battery at Sea
Girt, N. j., and in case of war would
have to take care of her coasts with
her troops the minute hostilities were
begun between the United States and
Spain, while no official order was
given, every man was quietly informed
to be in readiness In case an emer-
gency should arise.

HAVANA, March 20. - Little work
was done On the wreck of the Maine
today by the divers or contractors.
The city has been quiet, after the fes-
tivities of last night, lasting until early
this morning, at the Tacon theater,
where dramatic representation was
given in aid of the fund for the Span
ish navy There was plenty of enthu-
siasm in the crowded theater. Every
patriotic sentiment was cheered to the
echo, but there were no sensational
features. The proceeds are not all in
yet. but it is believed that they will
amount to between $4,000 and $4,000
in gold.
Former estimates were too large.
Even with the enormous prices paid
for boxes and seats, it was impossible
that any such figure as $4,000 or $780,
600 should be realized, as was hoped by
some.
The Austrian cruiser Donau, which
left for New York last evening, Is not
expected to reach her destination for
week or two, as she is slow, even with
auxiliary sail power.

forth in Cuba to hospital, asylum and
kindred work. DR.. Egan prefers not to
serve on the general committee. The
relief distributing committee now con-
sists of Gen. Lee, DR.. GuZman, repre-
senting the Cuban committee, and Mr..
| J. l.. Vanderwater, secretary of the
| Western Railway of Cuba, represent
| ing the American contributors. Gen.
Lee will act as arbitrator in the event
| of a difference of opinion between the
two other members.
The food on hand will afford relief to
all the needy in the island for a week
or more, and additional supplies are
| afloat Relief has been sent to 134 CEN
| trail points, from which 462 towns and
villages have been supplied. Corn meal
is the principal ration, as being good
| food for the really hungry, but not
likely to tempt beggars or the unwor-
thy; besides there is no difficulty in
| getting it through the customs quickly.
| Special Commissioner Klopsch has
appointed three men to travel con-
stantly through the island, to verify the
count of the needy, to see that the
supplies are properly received and
handled, to prevent fraud and general
ly to assist in the work of distribu-
| ton. The latest total reported to Mr..
| Klopsch is 205, 900 neceSSitous cases.
If the government will sanction the
arrangement a large building in the
suburb of Guanabacoa, where the AL
fonso XIII. regiment Is now quartered,
will be rented by the relief commit
tee. Several hundred reconcentrados
have just been set at work cultivating
ten acres of ground surrounding the
building, in this contributing to their
own support The plan is experimental,
and. if successful, is capable Of extern
| sive development elsewhere.

PARCELING OF CHINA.
Claim That France Has Demanded
Kwar Chau Province - The
French Deny.

LONDON, March 21.-The Chinese
ambassador visited the foreign office
Saturday evening by special invitation.
1t is supposed that the French demands
in China were the subject Of discussion.
There are some doubts as to the extent
of the demands.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Nagasaki, Japan, mentions report
that the Yang-Tse valley is included,
which tends to confirm the report from
Pekin that France has demanded that
China shall not cede any portion of the
province of Kwar-Chau, this province
being within the valley.
The Times has dispatch from Pekin,
however, which explains that the de-
mands only apply to the three prov
inces, Kwang Tung, Kwang 81 and Yum
Nan.
LONDON, March 21.-The Paris cor
respondent Of the Times reports pas
sages of a conversation with a diplo-
mat, in the course Of which NJ Hano-
taux, the French foreign minister, re-
pudiated the idea that he desired to
join any scheme for the disintegration
of China,
The correspondent represents M.
Hanotaux as saying that France had
nothing to gain by taking Chinese ter
ritory; that Tonquin was enough for
her.

ten what kind of sugar he was
sent for. So he took home a
pound of the graduated article.
His eldest sister sent him back to
the store to get lump sugar. AT

shop had made the change for
