AMERICA Al. PARIS EXPOSITION

Opinion OF n Member OF American
Commission as to It's Success.
New York Journal OF Commerce: AT
the Paris Exposition OF 1900 the United
States will be second In point Of size
and completeness Of any OF the foreign
countries said Major Fred Bracket,
secretary OF the United States connffs-
sion OF the Paris Exposition. atithc New
York office, yesterday. Russia" he
continued, will have little more
space. but the United States has n
larger allotment than either England or
Germany. However. the French COM
missIoners will try 10 give equal fa-
vors to the four countrIes-the United
States, England. Germany and Russia.
So far rs these nations are concerned,
the French vii show no favoritism.
Germany Is making great efforts to ex-
eel all other nations ut the exposition,
and the United States will find Ger
many It's, keenest competitor The Ger
man government has made generous
appropriations for their exhibits. the
amount appropriated being twice the
sum which has been provided for our
commission, The Germans are going to
make great fight at Pnris In 1900 for
the trade OF the word. Japan Will also
make fine display.
"Commissioncr-Ge General Peck has Sc
cured additional space, amounting to
about 80 per cent over the original al
lOtment. The space now given this
country Is about 2l7.000 square feet. As
the applications from intending exhlb-
itOrs even now ask for over 100000
square feet, somebody will be disap-
pointed. 2 I3gt:
This is to be an exposition OF selec-
ton. The struggle for supremacy be-
tween nations will be n great one, and
Commissioner-General Peck Will elm
mate all displays that would be other
than creditabfe TO the United States.
The demand for space In the machinery
and electrical departments alone now
amounts to over 100000 square feet, or
about $4,000 feet more than the entire
allotment to the country.
There Is no GOODNESS or Indifference
on the part OF the people Of this country
toward the, 1900 Exposition. On the
contrary, Americans are enthusiastic
over the opportunity they Will have
thus to show the rest OF the world the
results Of Yankee brains and energy.
As to the visitors and tourists to Par

There Is Il more or less general impress

equally efficient on vessel as on land.
In making a comparative summary of
American and Spanish guns, fifty per
cent should be added to the number of
shore guns, the attorneys contend. The
result is favorable to the Spanish side,
except in the guns from slN-pOunders
down, where there is a, slight superior
ity on the American side. The weight
of gun fire of the Spaniards was nearly

HUNTINGTON HAS A PLAN.
viii Erect Cotton Mills Near His
Shipbuilding Plant

New York, Nov 13.-Concerning the
projected combination of leading ship
building concerns, outlined in a dis
patch from San Francisco, Jefferson
Seligman says:
The subject of a combination of
leading ship yards of the United States
is as yet in embryo. 1t has been talked
of, but it is too soon to speak about it;
doing a good business and the Cramps,
IN which we have a large interest, are
particularly busy just now. There are
perhaps eight or ten leading ship yards
in the country, and all are getting big
demands from foreign nations to build
their ships. The work our ships did at
Santiago and Manila and their great
endurance have attracted the attention
of foreign powers. The Cramps eSpe-
cially have orders from Japan and
Russia. The ship yards are making so
much money at present that they may
not care to enter into a combination
There is no other firm associated with
us in the matter. I can not say any
thing as to the ship yards mentioned in
the dispatch beyond what 1 have said
about the Cramps. The year, however
is drawing to a close and nothing may
be done at present. The statement
that the consolidated value of the ship
yards mentioned in the dispatch ex-
ceeds 500, 200, 900 is correct"
The San Francisco disatch was shown
to Coils P. Huntington last evening.
He read the dispatch through carefully

manager of the Ensign Car works of

have not given a thought to the mat
ter, and do not know anything about
the proposed combination. 1 do know
one thing, however, and that is, I have
the best ship yard in the world. also
know the Seligmans are large owners
in the Cramps ship yard. The dispatch
speaks of the concerns mentioned as
being worth more than $40, 900 900. That
is undoubtedly true, as value my ship
yard at about that figure. 1 would dis
pose of it, however, and should not ask
that price, but I should want to get
what it cost me. The ship yard at New
port News. Va. is mine, and is not
mOrtgaged.
1T was my original Intention Mr..
Huntington went on, 'tO start a ship
yard plant in the best location in the
world, and succeeded in my purpose.
1t is right at the gateway of the sea.
There is never any ice in the winter
and it is never so cold but you can
hammer metal out of doors. Ships can
also get coal there of the best and as
cheap as anywhere.
Il would put my ship yard into the
combination if I get my price and also
government should have my yard. One
reason why do not want to part with
it is that I am experimenting with Ia
Dor. I am thinking of putting up a
cotton mill to give some light work to
the women and children of the men en-

OEWEY'S SHARE.
His Portion of Prize Money Figured
at S19,194

New York, Nov. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
On behalf of Admiral Dewey and his
officers and men Washington attorneys
have asked the court of claims to find
that the amount of bounty money due
them is $685.. 500.
The decision of the court will estab-
Hsh a precedent which will affect the
amount of bounty to be distributed
among the officers and men of the
North Atlantic fleet, which destroyed
the squadron of Admiral CerVera. If
the finding of the court is in accordance
with the request the admiraPs share
of the bounty Will be $19, 1874
Attorneys base their case upon the
claim that the defeated Spanish force
was superior to the American squadron.
1t is not cOntended that the enemy's
fleet was superior, but that, taking in
to consideration the guns at COrregidor,
FL F'raile and other forts at the en-
trance of the bay and UnOse at Manila
and CaVite, which fired upon the Amer
lean ships continuously, the enemy's
force was superior.
Land batteries comprised rs guns,
ranging in calibTe from 9.45 inches TO
s.09 inches, and their weight of fire is
computed at 1920 pounds. The enemy
vessels were also supported by mines
and tOrpedOes in the entrance to Ma
Mia bay and the bay itself, and some
of these. the brief states, exploded dur
ing the action.
The total number of men on the Span
