PRESIDENT ]. ]. HILL HOME
FROM AN EIGHT WEEKS
TRIP ABROAD
ESTIMATE 3a5oF PARIS FAIR
Better Than Chicago Exposition
Germany Has Best Exhibit-In-
dustriaI Destiny of the
United States.

President ]. J. Hill returned Yesterday
morning from an eight weeks trip abroad
The last days ofjhis stay on the continent
were spent in Paris, where members Of his
family remain. Speaking of the exposi-
ton, Mr.. Hill said:
The permanent buildings are better
than those at the Worlds Fair, but 1 saw
no striking group as imposing as those at
the Chicago exposition. There are many
beautiful buildings, and the exhibits are
better, particularly in the line of indus
tries-in metal working and in manufac-
turing generally. in which marked prog
ress has been made since the Chicago
fair. Especially is this notable in machin-
cry, metal working, shipbuiding forgings,
etc.
''Germany's exhibit in these lines was
the largest and most complete there, that
of the United States coming next.
frances exhibit is very large, and in
some ways very good, but it might be
said that France had more trinkets, or
naments, ornamental furnishings, etc,
rather than substantial goods, very taste
full, of course, but not of the great use
full arts which benefit the world.
American iron is finding market in.
Germany, but not SO large as i'll Italy
and Austria. I believe it is now recog-
nized by all thoughtful people that. with
proper attention on the part of American
manufacturers, provided no stupid legis-
lation is enacted, the United States VIII
lead the world in the great articles of
commerce. The United States will be the
great producing nation.
Russia is making great strides in in
Gustrial progress. The trans-Siberian
railway is affording her an outlet for her
crowded population in opening to settle
ment vast agricultural region.
Il believe the trouble in China will bring
about the opening of that country to
commerce with the World sooner than it
otherwise would have been Effected and
the conditions that have worked up this
crisis will necessitate some action on the
part of the powers interested to main
tain peace The country is. attractive
and, when life and property are made Sc
cure it will open to trade rapidly.
Foreign work, in China is very limited
in every way, being confined chiefly to
surveys in anticipation of later opportu-
mites"

Wildwood since last season under the per-
sonal supervision Of Manager Goodrich,
are of so comprehensive a character as
to strike the eye Immediately on arrival
at this charming resort. The large ar
ray of new buildings and the immense i'm
provement made in the old ones renders
Wildwood one of the best equipped sum-
mer resorts in the country. There Is no
finer bathing beach anywhere in the
northwest than at Wildoowd, and arti-
fetal improvements has made 1t very
much better than it ever was before. The
new bath houses are models of conven-
fence, and they have been placed further
down the beach than they were last sea-
son. in a much more advantageous posi-
ton. The green, woods and verdant
slopes of Wildwood attracted many
thousands of people every summer in the
past. With the first class transportation
facilities now offered, and the greatly
enhanced attractions of Wildwood the
place ought to be more popular than
ever.

at Wildwood.

There are so many hundreds of young
people in the Twin Cities who love dane
ing, that Manager Goodrich, of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company, has decid-
ed 10 provide special music for their es-
pecial delectation at Wildwood Wednes-
day and Saturday evenings of each week.
The music will be furnished by the Twin
City Mandolin orchestra. than which no
more competent organization could be Sc
cured. Wildwood has the finest dancing
pavilion in this part of the country, and
1t has been reconstructed this year in
such a way as to give much greater floor
space than was available last season. The
announcement that special evenings are
to be reserved for dancing Will be very
pleasing to a vast number Of people,
many of whom, while not dancers them
selves, take interest in watching the
graceful movements Of the active partic-
ipants.
Tony Snyder will act as master of cere-
monies and floor manager at these
dances. which is sufficient guarantee that
they will be well conducted.

agent at Chicago to Gov. .Beckham and
will call on him Monday
In discussing the Chinese situation Mr.
Tango said:
1--WE of Japan know little about the So
called Boxers except what we have
heard from our people who have been in
China We understand them to be
class Of people very strong in numbers
who were once in open rebellion against
the empire, but who now are in abey-
ance. They have a desire TO do away
with Christianity in certain parts of the
empire and divert the trend of civiliza-
ton, and they do this by numbering all
who oppose them. The situation now, as
1 gather 1t from the newspapers, is very
serious, and the throne Will have a hard
problem to solve before they are finally
Quelled. But 1 do not think that war
will result"
