Mississippi river, but Eastern States,
the British Colonies, Mexico, and the
Central and South American Republics
win all participate, and many Eastern
governments will be represented.

sition, in extent and completeness, sec
ond only to the Worlds Columbian
Fair.
The great army of people that will
visit the Exposition from June till No
vember will be:
The farmers of the Middle or River
States, on which Idaho must mainly de-
pend for its immigration, and the set
Element of its rich but idle land, the
manufacturers and dealers OF the East
who viii see in the rapidly growing
state of Idaho, field for sharp competi-
ton on all products and goods we have
to buy, and capitalists and investors
from every quarter OF the globe, who
are already looking to the development
of the great mineral and other re-
sources of Idaho, as most promising
field for proft-payIng enterprises.
In the state, we now have under ex-
isting canals 100000 acres of the
choicest farm and fruit land in the
world. OF this, less than 400, coo acres

LIGHTHOUSE POINT.

With the arrival of the Santiago zone temperature yesterday there was an exodus of the people to the Point that again evinced the necessity of addi- tional seating capacity at the theater in all but the stormy days. Probably not less than four hundred people, many of them ladies, were standing in the rear and to the side of the seats. 1t was a good-natured crowd, however, the fun of the Boston Merry Makers being so infectious as to hold it in rapt attention throughout. But to-day the people will all be provided with seats, as five hundred additional seats will be on the grounds before the af- ternoon performance begins. The fact is the crowds to the Point have in- creased so contsantly and rapidly lat terly as to defeat advance calcula ton in preparing for them. The manager is also planning to have all the seats shaded by sailcloth covering overhead which will be perfected in a day or two Tomorrow is the last day of the unrivalled colored comedian blown in on the hot wave from Santiago.

AN UNUSUAL CONCERT.
M. Medvedeff and a Programme O
 Russian Music.

M. Medvedeff and a Programme of
 Russian Music.
 A concert of unusual interest and merit was given at the new Music hall on Court street last evening and it en- tirely escaped the notice of the cultur- ed music lovers in this community. It was given by M. E. Medvedeff, who was for many years a prominent figure in St. Petersburg's musical life with the assistance of Eugene Bernstein, pianist, and M. Altschuler, 'cellist, both of New York. M. Medvedeff was for many years a ''chamber-mu singer" to his imperial majesty, the czar of Russia. His youth is past but he is still an interesting sing CT with enormous high notes, and a temperament that is quite out of the ordinary. The programme was unusual. Since the days of Madame Lineff's Russian choir the present writ CT has not heard so interesting a pro- gramme of Russian music. Among the names on the programme were Tschaikowsky. Grodsky, Boroffsky, Rubenstein, and Rimsky- -Karsakoff. In addition as encores NJ. Medvedeff sang a number of folk-songs of espec- ial beauty.
 The audience was made up almost entirely of Russians. NJ Medvedeff sang entirely in Russian except for two encores, which were in German. About one-quarter of the audience was made up of children who made a point of screaming at all the climaxes. The singer was at times most annoyed and would be obliged to wait for a pause ill the cacophony before proceeding. But the audience was oblivious of these minor details and yelled and shouted with enthusiasm at the close of each number. Altogether it was unique and interesting occasion and it is a pity that there were 50 few apprecia- tive listeners.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
MORE HOPEFUL TINGE TO THE
 TRADE OUTLOOK.

Chis Due to the Improved Prospects of
 Peace With Probably Wider Markets
 for American Shippers
 Making Active Preparations to Share
 in the Unexpected widening of De-
 mana From the West Indies.
 New York, July 29.-Bradstreet's to- morrow. July 30, will say: While as yet showing little actual effect upon distributive trade, there is evidence that the improved prospects for peace, with probably wider markets for Amer ican products, have given a more hope full tinge to the trade outlook, more particularly at the east. This is re- fected in active preparations by ship pers and coasting trade interests to share in the expected widening of de- mand from the West Indies. That fall trade has already materialized in the west is evidenced by telegrams from leading centers, which report the VOL tune of business is dry goods, clothing and groceries ahead of last year, with interior buyers in evidence earlier than usual. From the same section, too, come very satisfactory reports as to the livestock business, which is active with good receipts, at prices exceeding those paid at corresponding periods for along time past.
 Expected activity in building is reflected in the demand for plates at eastern points. A rather better tone is found in the anthracite coal trade. The situation in cereals is hardly satis- factory as could be wished, cash prices being lower for the week, while futures are less depressed, but exhibit the pressure of expected liberal supplies at home and heavier crops abroad. The sugar market remains dull, and stocks of refined are reported small. Raw sugar, however, remains featureless. The textile manufacturing situation is as yet a rather clouded one, a shut down of print cloth mills being re- garded as probable in another effort to restore the lost balance of this trade. Woolen goods are still slow of sale, while the relatively low range of wool prices at eastern markets, and the improved inquiry by manufactur- CTS, has stiffened values with the eff feet of discouraging sales. Raw cotton is firmer on reports of excessive rains affecting crops.
