only 225,000 volumes, they are the rar-

DAMAGED BY STORM.
American Electrical Exhibit at
Paris Suffers Severely.

Paris, May 8.-Should the French Off
cials hold to the strict letter of the de-
cision to permit no installation of ex-
hibits after next Saturday the effect on
the labors of many countries and pri-
vate exhibitors will be disastrous al
though that date is a. month after the
formal reception. The installation is as
yet far from completion and many cars
filled with exhibits. some of them
American are still without the grounds.
America will suffer less than other
countries but the action of the French
officials will still be a hardship. The
pronunciamento. however, is generally
regarded as intended for home con-
sumption, as the unfinished conditions
of the buildings undoubtedly had its eff
feet on the election held last Sunday
when the Nationalists had such decid-
ed victory.
Next Sunday, elections occur in the
districts where second ballots are nee
essary and the decree is believed to be
intended to indicate to the people the
earnest effort of tn government to has
ten the completion of the exposition. A
storm has seriously damaged the Uni
ted States section of the electricity ex-
hibit. Water poured through the leaIxy
roof, running the decorations and car
pets and damaging the facade which is
one of the most attractive The water
badly warped it and all work there has
been stopped until the extent of the
damage to the wiring is ascertained

DONNELLY FOR FIRST.
Plan to Put Him Ahead of
Barker is Developing.

Cincinnati, May S.-Delegates 20 the na-
tional convention of the MiddIe-of-the-
Road Populists which will be opened in
this city Wednesday afternoon, began to-
day to wear a business air.
Wharton Barker, of Pennsylvania, and
Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, are both
on the ground making their headquarters
at the Dennison hotel The Texas dele
cation of over fifty men arrived today
and this gave rise to predictions on the
part of J. A Parker, secretary of the
national committee that no less than 500
delegates will be in their seats when
Chairman Dever calls for order at 2.3O
tomorrow afternoon
Little was heard today regarding the
plan on the part of some of the Mime
sofa delegation to promote Mr.. Donnelly
for the presidential nominee. That such
a plan had been made was not denied by
to be that the initiative and referendum
ticket of Barker and DOnnelly selected
two years ago in this city, should be rau-
fed now. Absolutely nothing was heard
of the plan to fuse with the Social DEM
ocratS and endorse z. V. Debs-
Regarding the platform declarations, no
definite lines have been mapped out, but
it is believed that the Omaha platform
Will be endorsed practically verbatim
with few additional planks on the new
issues. Wharton Barker said today that
he is opposed to territorial expansion, but
is in favor of trade expansion of the most
pronounced type. 1t is not improbable
that on this question of expansion, the
resolutions committee will experience con-
siderable trouble no two delegates
are apparently of the same opinion
This afternoon a conference will be held
to arrange preliminary matters and select
some person to head the resolution COM

LOSING INVESTMENT.
Grain Inspection Department Ger
talnly Needs Reforming.

The chances are that Governor
Stanley will attempt to reform the state
grain department by legislative enact
ment if that department continues to
be a losing venture for the state-that
is. if he is reelected.
The deficit for April was $600.49, while
the deficit for the months preceding
was almost as large.
There are forty or fifty inspectors and
weighmasters now employed in addi-
tion to assistants and deputies, all Of
whom are paid good salaries by the
state. Some OF the men are paid in
fees, but the majority OF the force re-
ceive stated salaries each month, and
the receipts are not sufficient to meet
the expenses.
The receipts for April amounts to
81, ,423.S0; the expenditures reached the
sum of $2,O2424, making a deficit of
$6OO49.
The attention of the governor has
been called to these DEFICIENCIES, and he
proposes an immediate investigation to
ascertain if it is not possible to in
stitute some measure OF reform which
will make the department self-sustain-
ing.
One thing in contemplation is the re-
moval of q sufficient number of dep
uties in order to cut the expense down
to an equality with the receipts.

London. May S.-The following dis
patch from Lord Roberts has been re-
ceived at the war office;
Smalldeel, May THE railway from
Brandfort to this place has been con-
siderably damaged and the bridge over
the Vet river has been hoDelessly
damaged. This delays supplies coming
up. Every few yards charges Of rach-
arOck have been laid under the rails.
This might have created loss of life
but was fortunately discovered by a
West Australian infantryman.
Winburg has been occupied by the
Highland brigade.
In spite of these wrecked railroads
the British advance goes on steadily
Lord Roberts outposts are apparently
about II miles north of Smalldeel. Gen
eral Brabant has Joined General Run
die at Thaba NChu, whence they are
moving forward. The country is all
quiet in that direction. A reconnais-
sance made by General Rumble of the
Beers recent positions at Thaba N'Chu
resulted in their being pronounced i'm
pregnable and their evacuation is re-
ported to have been due to the receipt
of an urgent message from President
Steyn. The Beers are said to be NOV
ing northward, but their immediate des-
tination is not known.
The whereabouts of the British cav
airy under General French is still
mystery, while General Kelly -Kenny's
and General Chermside's divisions are
A dispatch from Cape Town dated
today says:
Lord Roberts phenomenal advance
is not only utterly demoralizing the

cOlOnists
THE relief of Mafeking is expected
any moment"
The Cape Town correspondent is
slightly optimistic as regards Mafeking,
judging from the direct dispatches, the
British forces south Of Mafekin& are
still nearly 200 miles from their OBJ
jectfve, while the latest advices from
Mafeldng itself. dated April 90, show
little amelioration in the conditions
there.
The dispatches say: with the excep-
tion of a little rifle fire at the outlying
trenches, everything is quiet The slight
epidemic of typhoid is abating as re-
suit of the medical precautions. The
enemyS artillery with the exception OF
two five Founders, has apparently been
Withdrawn.
1T was learned April "A that the en-
emy intended to attack and the entire
garrison stood to arms. When day
broke, Col. Baden-PoweH took up a
| position on the lookout and the heavy
rattle of musketry and the boom of four
guns convinced US that an attack was
about to occur. But it became apparent
that the Boer officers could not per-
suade their men to advance. Through
| glasses we saw the officer vainly urging
| the infantry forward. The enemy re-
| formed and retired. Our men fired a
| shot in the hope of inducing the enemy
! to come to close quarters.
THE native distress has been a1levi-
| ated, many of them slipping through the
! lines.
The men of the garrison forego their
sugar ration for the benefit of the wo-
men and children.
| After the bombardment, April "a, all
was comparatively quiet"
