Com m missioner General and Ambassa-
dor Discuss the Exposition.


PARIS, April 14.-Gen. Horace Porter,
the United States ambassador, after the
inaugural ceremony, said to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press:
THE present French exposition will at
tract even greater interest than any pre-
vicus effort made in Paris to display before
the world the products of the various ma
items. Every government OF any import
ance will be represented, ard, in the way of
sightseeing and the gathering of general
information visit to it will be equal to
making tour of the world
Owing to the broad views and public
spirit early manifested by President Nc
Kinley regarding this enterprise and to the
liberality Of Congress in providing means
for organizing a creditable and attractive
American section, our country has secured
a representation which will arouse univer-
sal interest. The increase in our commerce
with European nations which will result in
this systematic and extensive display of
products will without doubt enlarge our for
eign trade to such a marked degree that
the country will be repaid many times for
the wise expenditures authorized by the
government.
1.-The friendly intercourse which will take
place between prominent and influential
people from all lands will do much, it Is
trusted, to bring about better understanding
between the countries and to foster that
good will which is so necessary among ma
lions in securing era of harmony and
peace"
Ferdinand Peck's Views.
United States Commissioner General Fer
dinand Peck said:
THE exhibits of the great interna tional
exposition inaugurated today rejecting the
arts, sciences and industries of the present
age will be an achievement of heretofore
unequaled perfection. At no other similar
event have the nations of the world so
deliberately and ambtiously participated.
While artistic architectural effects are
not lacking and the ensemble of the build
ings and gardens will be brilliant, yet this
exposition will be most noted for the ex-
haustiveness of its exhibits and for the in
telltgence of their arrangement and the
beauty Of their installation A gold medal
at Paris in 1900 will be trophy of which
any exhibitor may be proud. 1t will mean
supremacy over the best mankind can ac-
cGmpliSh.
The United States will be represented by
the largest number of exhibitors of any for
eign nation. and the awards for which our
jurors will struggle will be a test Of the
quality of our representation and will evt-
dence the rewards of our achievements"

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

1t is easily possible for q news
