Philadelphia Convention. He knows
what will be the result of the Phi!adel-

now as though a war, with the Chinese
on one side and the combined forces OF
the great European powers and the U.
S. on the other, would be one result.
Such war would necessarily result in
the speedy defeat of the Chinese, but
what then? That is the problem that IL

it does want to hold and increase the
large commerce we already have with
China.

EXPOSITION LETTER.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
As Rue de Clichy, Paris, June 4, 1900.
The exposition is whited sepulchre
clean, even dazzling without, but with
in full of rubbish, scaffolding, lime
dust, grease of machinery and other va
rieties of uncleanness. 1t will not be
ready for visitors for five weeks. This
is the plain truth about it no matter
how much the Paris papers may try to
Disguise the fact of its unreadiness or
how loud they may proclaim their in
vitation to come now. The Exposition
management; the Paris Hotels and
thousands of landlords with rooms to
rent; to say nothing of quarter of a
million OF shopkeepers would like to
have a crowd at once and all the time,
but those who wish to see the EXPOSE
ton itself, ard not the process of prep
aration, will do we'll to wait until the
first OF July. l have talked with many
Americans here, some of them are see
ing Paris, others, finding it impossible
to see the Exposition with cleanliness
and comfort, have scattered over Eu-
rope; intending to return here later.
This is the better course for those who
can control their time and who are not
restricted by an itinerary made before
leaving home.

of the permanent buildings massive and

France has come up to her art display
of former years when the walls were
covered by canvass of Miessonier, Jer-
ONE, Doer, Bonnat and Corot. There
are many imitators of these in the pres.
ent art exhibit, and. of course, large
number of paintings Of high merit. 1t
would not be French exhibit if il did
not abound IN female nudities in vari-
GUS poses and posturee. There appears
to be some change in the treatment Of
these, owing, perhaps to the decadence
of idealism and the prevalence of i'm
pressonism or realism in art If the
model had more angles than curves,
prominent shoulder blades and big,
tlght.shoe deformed feet, the artist has
telt that it was his duty in some in
stances to reproduce them.

Gear and his consort occupy seats in

tudes of attention while a member Is
reading an address Of welcome. Every
face is a portrait, there is no stiffness,
but grace, dignity, high bred serious
ness and composure throughot; making
a very pleasing picture and embalming
the features of some distinguished men
and most humane sovereign and his
wife. Another picture in this section
is that of the French Minister, Cambon,
signing the treaty of peace between
Spain and the United States in the
presence of President Mckinley and all
his Cabinet. Here also the portraiture
is good and the French artist has &C
centuated the resemblance Of President
Mckinley to the first Napoleon in a
way that is almost startling.

In paintings, the German, Italian
and English sections are very good. The
English I think is better than at any
previous exposition. Of the United
States Art Exhibit, not much can be
said in praise. If it could be taken by
itself, it would be worth seeing, but IN
comparison with others it is painfully
weak. It has some good portraits and
landscapes and in the four or FIVE rooms
covered by American artists it may be
said that if there is nothing excellent
there is much that Is worthy and moth

Bureau of American Republics. which
has its headquarters in Washington, to
issue the invitations, to all American
Republics to participate. The COM
plants of unequal representation, which
were made when the first Congress met
in Washington, will be avoided by the
agreement which gives each nation rep
resented in the coming Congress, on y
one vote, thus putting the smallest re-
public on the same footing with the
largest. 1t is expected that this Con-
gress will be productive of important
commercial results, mutually benefi-
