WOULD BE AN OFFICIAL INSULT.
Withdrawal of the Government from Par
ticipation in the Exposition.


Washington, Sept. 12.-It is believed
that when congress assemblies there
will be considerable agitation of a
proposition for this government to
abandon its participation in the Paris
exposition. 1t iS known that EXPIRES
sionS hostile To the exposition are very
widely SympathiZed with. Such Il
move, however. would be n grave one
1t is pointed ont that to withdraw
from participation in the exposition
would be regarded as an official insult
To France. No further legislation on
the par1 of congress is needed TO carry
out the plans of this country for the
exposition. There are now only two
ways in which congress could inter
ferc. one would Ice TO revoke such
part of tho appropriation as has not
been already expended in the expenses
of the commission. and the other would
be "a pass Il resolution declaring that
on account of the unsettled conditions
the valuable government exhibits
should not be sent 10 Paris.
To do either of these things would
be sufficient. it is believed. to break
off all friendly relations between the
two countries Unless congress eN
preSSly forbids il this government will
proceed with the preparations for the
exhibition and will send to Paris such
government exhibits as are decided
upon. Little doubt is felt that the
latitude allowed the private citizen
VIII he quite extensively availed of TO
Withdraw from participation in the ex-
position. Another difficulty in the way
of an effort to prevent participation in
the exposition. however. will be found
in the face that before congress has
assembled much OF the government

New York. Sept. 12.-Cornelius
Vanderbilt died this morning at his
home on Fifth avenue. He returned
from Newport with his wife last even
ing. apparently in excellent health
and spirits and retired early.
About midnight he was seized with
a serious attack. The household was
aroused and several physicians sum-
moned. Everything possible was
done, but he grew rapidly worse and
died quarter past five.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter,
Gladys, are prostrated by tie shock,
and physicians are attending them.
Mr.. VanderbiIt's death was caused
by stroke of paralysis, the second
he has suffered. The patient was
semi-conscious until death.
Coroner Hart was summoned to he
Vanderbilt house because of the fact
that a strange doctor was in attend
auce at the death instead of the regu-
lar physician.
The disposition of Vanderbilt's es
tate is a matter of doubt. Cornelius,
Jr., was alienated from the family by
marriage to Grace Wilson, who is
eight or ten years his senior.

located on the Indian lands. That por-

In order to make the appropriation
available it will be necessary to begin
work on the buildings before June 80,
which is the last day OF, the fiscal year.
The Fifty-fifth congress passed a similar
appropriation, but at that time the prop
er arrangement could not be made, owing
to the chaos resulting from the declara-
ton of war, and the allowance was per-
mitted to go by default. This is under
a rule that appropriations for public
buildings shall be used within the fiscal
year, or at least some start must be made
on them, otherwise the appropriation re.
verts to the public treasury.

Boys Capture it.

A recent issue of Freedom, the Manila
paper says: One evening in the early
part of the week Sergeant McHugh Of

off Malate. Corporal Watt took a few
men and overhauled the cascoes, which
contained four natives. The cascoes
contained supplies evidently designed
for the insurgents. The next night
twelve boats and thirty-two men were
captured having supplies which were
contraband of war. Apparently a regu-

provisions to the insurgents about
Paranaque in the hours of darkness.
