 It is the plan of the management to make the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo next year the greatest electric al Exposition ever held. In, view of the wonderful advance in the electrical science since the Worlds fair there will probably not be a single duplication of an exhibit seen at Chicago in 1893.

Most Important Session of Congress.

PIITSBU RIG, NOV. Z3. = Senalor Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana, who passed through Pittsburg en route to Washington, stated that the bill provid- ing for an increase in the regular army would be passed shortly after congress convenes. The increase, he said, could not be less than 300OO or 10000. The ship subsidy bill would also receive fla vorable consideration, and it was likely some definite action would be taken on the isthmian canal measure. The sen ator believes this meeting of congress will be the most important short session of congress held in the past quarter of a century.

GREAT COMPOSER DEAD.
Sir Arthur Sullivan Passes Away
 Very Suddenly In London.

very Suddcnly LOnGOn.
 LONDON, Noy 23.-Sir Arthur Sulli- van is dead of heart failure.
 Sir Arthur's death was sudden, all though his illness took a severe turn about two weeks ago. When he was talk en ill, he was collaborating with Basil Hood on an Irish opera. He went to the south of Europe to recuperate, but the trip was of no benefit to his health.
 The Savoy theater, where all the fa- nous Gilbert and Sullivan operas have been produced, was closed last night as mark of respect.
 Arthur Seymour Sullivan was without doubt the best known the world around of all musicians of his country and his time. His songs were everywhere sung. He himself on his first visit to the Pa cific coast of the United States heard band in San Francisco park playing his song, ''The Lost Chord.' His hymn, On ward, Christian Soldiers" is used by most churches where the English tongue prevails. His orchestral works are re- spectcd by musicians. Of his operas Pin afore" and The Mikado'' can fairly be called the famous examples. One was sung only five days ago in this city, while the other is to be heard in the week to come. In England, q London theatcr is permanently devoted to the Sullivan rep ertory.
 Born in London on May 13, 1S42, Sul iyan was brought up in half musical, half military atmosphere. His grandfa ther was a squire of Kerry who served as soldier in the Peninsular war and who after Waterloo was ill d detachment ordered to St. Helena as Napoleon $ guard. Sullivan's father was a band master at the Royal Military college, Sandhurst, and later at Kneller hall. His mother Mary, daughter of James Cogher, was descended from old Italian family of the name of Righi.
 Sir Arthur Suilivan's death has a wide ly sympathetic interest for Englishmen. and the morning papers are filled with obituary notices, sketches and renlinis- cences.
 The final scene calls for a brief de- scription. During yesterday morning his nurse noticed alarming symptoms and sent for the doctors, but the end came before they had arrived. About o'clock, after he had been chatting and taking his coffee, he suddenly sat Up, with the ex- clamation, My heart, my heart.'
 He began to faint, and restoratives were applied but he never regained con- sciousnesE The end came quickly and painlessy. It is said that his father died in almost precisely the same way.
