inc proposed Exposition.

AZ meeting OF leading citizens held
Saturday evening It was proposed to
hold in Seattle In the year 1904 an inter-
national exposition to commemorate the
Louisiana purchase and the famous ex-
pedition OF Lewis and Clark to the great
Pacific Northwest. The idea. which has
been under consideration for some time,
was taken up enthusiastically by every
citizen present at the meeting. A COM
mittee, made up Of some of the most
prominent business and professional
men OF the community, was appointed
to undertake the preliminary work. and
IT win meet today for the purpose OF
discussing some of the details OF the
project and determining upon plan
OF action such as that will best insure
the success Of the proposed undertake
ing.
The exposition contemplated is one
which in its scope and character will
httingly represent the splendid work of
development done In the Far West dur
ing the past hundred years. and at the
same time it will serve a useful pur-
pose in emphasizing the fact that here
on the Pacific coast and across the
Western ocean is to be the scene OF the
most promising commercial activity OF
the coming half century. The eyes of
the world are now directed to the ORR
ent. where one expects soon to see the
splendid results OF civilizing influences.
and II il eminently fitting that this
era Of progressive transpacific trade
should be ushered In and its beginning
made noteworthy by an International
exposition such as the citizens OF Sc
attic propose shall be held here at tho
gateway to the Farther West.
The project is in some respects gi-
Gantic one. and exceeds In magnitude
anything Of q similar nature that has
ever been suggested. But In all the his
tory OF Seattle there has never yet been
set before its citizens task which has
not been successfully performed. and
u there Is behind the proposed enter
prise the energy and determination that
has characterized public movements in
the past there viii be held here four
years hence an exposition that viii be
credit to the city, 20 the state. 10 the
entire Pacific coast and 10 the nation.
Gov. Roosevelt Ii probably the only
one OF the four candidates who viii
speak In the state OF Washington dur
Ing the campaign, but the enthusiasm
with which he win be received win be
what would be considered enough for
four ordinary aspirants for once.

with party loyalty and devotion to

wonder that honest Democrats turn
away in disgust and refuse to be privy
to this miserable scheme TO sacrifice
Democratic principles and effect COM
plete loss OF party identity. To throw
OF these corrupting influences and not
to suffer them to get firmer hold on
the organization is what they desire.
And realizing that 1t is an unequal
struggle on their part. at least for
time. they have decided TO hold aloof,
to allow the madness to run its course.

LrxzrE MCCARTHY AND THE BOXERS
How . Brave American Woman De-

Chicago Tribune.
when the story OF the present upheaval
in China comes to be written chapter
will certainly be devoted to the exploits
of a young woman whom many Califor-
mia people knew not many years ago -
Lizzie Mccarthy. she was born ana
brought up on a ranch and became skill
full with the rife and fearless In the pur-
suit of big game. The family moved to
San Francisco, where six years ago the
young Amazon met Alfred F.. Chamot. a
Frenchman. whose love OF adventure had
led to travel over the world. They fell
in love and were married. Soon after the
young couple moved to- Picking. China,
where they opened the Picking hotel,
which Immediately became a great resort
for Europeans in the Celestial Kingdom.
On the last day OF May word came TO
Peking that the Boxers had broken out
into open rebellion at Changhsintien. ten
miles from Picking. and that they had SUR
rounded and were fiercely attacking a
party OF thirty French railway engineers
at that point. The wives OF the French.
men who were IN danger were guests
OF Mrs. Chamot at the Picking hotel, and
to her they appealed with tears and Ia
mentations. Fortunately she was exactly
the woman for the emergency. She
hurried TO the french embassy and
through the good Offices of the French
minister secured the services OF COM
pany OF Chinese soldiers and OF nine Eu-
ropeans. With this small party she set
out at once TO tho rescue OF the besieged
engineers. Mrs. Chamot was Obliged To
lead her force through a hostile country
and TO cut her way through the great
mass OF fanatics which surrounded the
camp OF the engineers, hut she finally
succeeded In reaching them and in spite
Of all obstacles brought them safely
through 70 PekIng. Therefore the Euro

Mr. Bryan is probably happier than
he was few weeks ago. when 1t was
decided that he should make no
speeches except possibly few from his
Lincoln porch. The plan now seems to
be to repeat the performance Of 1895.
and allow him to scatter his eloquence
in all parts OF the country where there
is some doubt as TO the result. This
is perhaps the wisest course. for the
attempt to hold the Democratic candi-
date in Lincoln with no opportunity to
exercise his jaw might result in some
thing like a serious explosion.

the efficiency of the Omaha police depart ment If the six bandits in the early even ing in front of his own home in frequent ed street can capture boy. and can ride here and there in hacks without detection, and can demand ransom and get away with 1t unspotted. then indeed the police of Omaha are outmatched in brains by the criminals. The remedy consists in giving the chief of that city a reasonable time to ferret out the bandits, and If he cannot should be asked to give way to some one else. If Omaha settles down to the false conclusion that it's criminals are smarter than it's guardians of the law it should be held responsible for future cases of the Cudahy sort. In the words of the bandit Omaha is up against it," and the only way out consists in the detection of the band of brutes who carried the young lad away from his home.

Labor In Cotton Mills.

The constantly increasing pressure in favor of labor legislation as to cotton mills has led thoughtful mill operators to con- sider the problem with a view of meeting ] before adverse and hurtful action arises These men believe they understand the Sit uation better perhaps than any labor ag- tators do and in their behalf D. A. Tomp- kins of Charlotte has prepared bill which he will submit to the North Carolina Leg islature when it meets next month. We give the chief provisions of MT. Tompkins' bill:
 l. Sixty-six hours shall be a weeks work in textile mills employing ten or more op- eratives. By special contract males over b years of age may be employed over time, at extra pay. Time lost by ''acci- dent" not exceeding five hours in a week. may be made up inside of two weeks, and time lost by shutdown at the request of the operatives, may be made up in the fol- lowing week.
 ?. Employees shall give two weeks notice in writing before quitting a place, and one who shall quit without such notice shall not be employed in any other textile es- tablishment within a year.
 g. No child under 10 years of age shall be employed. No child under 12 shall be employed In August or during the term Of an available school. All children from to F, members of whose families work with the mill, shall be required to attend an available school during a school term.
 4 Any parent putting any of his children In mill and living on the proceeds of their labor without working himself, or doing less work than is adequate to his own sup port, shall be punished a vagrant, and for ore year after his conviction the earn ings of the children may be paid to the mother, or If she be not living, to the chil drcn themselves.
 g. A factory inspector shall be appointed to enforce the law.
 Mir. Tompkins is deeply interested in mill construction and mill operation, and his recommendations are generally com mended the only difficulty in the way being the need of uniformity in legislation In other words, North Carolina wants South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama to join in the passage of the proposed Legislation But as some state must lead the way and as North Carolina is the leader anyway in cotton milling. it seems best and most ft- ting that she should first adopt the bill in question.

COSTLY TARGET.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The New York Journal prints an article on the forthcoming test of the Gathmann gun, coast defense weapon, which the Sun has described already In the general sense of dimensions and alleged destruc- tive qualities this gun makes greater claims than any thus far in use but those who are incredulous of its prospectus inti- mate that there is much, if not more, peril to those who stand behind it than to anything that attempts to inerfere with it's half-ton projectiles in their flight. 1t is said that Senator Hanna was intru- mental in reviving interest in the weapon. and succeeded in having a board appointed to conduct the test. Sandy Hook will be the scene of this Hazardous undertaking. which will have several collateral consid- erations besides that of the utility of the gun.
 The Sun already has announced that an armor plate target will be erected, in con- tradiction of the report that the ram Ka- tahdin probably would be used, since she seems to be failure in her assigned mis- sion. But the New York Journal has gath cred some points which will be of interest to the laymen as well as the artillerist. In the first place, it is stated that dunn my side of a warshlp 400 feet in. length will be contracted of armor plate Is inches thick, presenting a groad side to the gun It will, of course, be on land but as about the range within which the Gathmann invention is said to be effective. This target alone, it is added, will cost sS1, 300, but since no shell now in use has succeeded in penetrating IS inches of Krupp steel armor, it is not entirely pre- ordained that the mock battleship will become wreck.
 Another item of expense is the ammuni- ton, of which twenty-two rounds are to be fired at an average cost of $33, 325 or over $1, 800 per round. This is exclusive of the cost of the target, and brings the en- tire expense up to $115225.
 The gun weights 59 tons and is 40 feet long. As has been said, some experts are disinclined to allow the claims made by the friends of the weapon, and consider 1t a danger to it's surroundings. If this be the case, there will be hundreds of inter ested army and navy men who will prefer to read about rather than witness the pro nnSad tests.

Held for Ransom.

Edward Cudahy did what any parent in his shoes would have done--he did the sen- sible thing. He got his young son back sound in eyes and in every other respect. There may be patriots who will say he should have considered the general good, and let his son take his chances but such patriots are talking through their hats. They are, hypocrites each and every one. Mr. Cudahy acted sensiby and beyond doubt wisely.
 The bandit who wrote to MT. Cudahy is missing his calling. He should be writing blood-curdllng fiction, or filling at space rates yellow journals He is graphic sen. tentous and devilish. He has all the quall- fcations for an up-to-date literary" ca reer, and he is missing a great opportunity. His books would outsell those of the new school of fiction writers. for the very ex- cellent reason that they would be much better in every respect.
 Whether or no other cases of a like na- ture will follow depends a good deal upon
