The thousands of people who visit
the grounds where the buildings of the
Pan-American Exposition are rising
like a city created by magic see many
things which indicate that the value
of the vacant lots surrounding the Ex-.

purposes next summer is duly appre-
ciated. For instance. one real estate
dealer advertises like this: "Can you
Keep a boarding house? Can you run a
lunch counter? II so. here is your
chance to make the most money" An
other advertises, Choice lots for
hotels, boarding houses. saloons, sum
mer gardens, restaurants, souvenir
booths and other things by which you
can make your fortune at the Pam
American Exposition" All the vacant
property In the vicinity of the EXPOSE
tioS grounds is staked of and pla-
carded by signs indicating its value
for purposes In connection with the big
Exposition to be held In Buffalo next
summer, and many buildings are al
ready going up which will be used for
accommodations for Exposition visit
Ors and all sorts of purposes connected
with their entertainment.

IN MINISTER'S DISAGREE.
Possibility Suggests
Interesting Problem.
Nothing Heard From COnger Re-
garding "Impasse.'
Told Not To Insist On
Impossibilities.
"
Powers May Have To Negotiate
Separately.

Washington, November 2s.-The state
department so far has heard nothing
from Mr.. Conger respecting the I'm
passe'' reported to have been reached by
the foreign ministers yesterday at Pekin.
In fact save a brief expressionl respecting
the insuiiiciency of the punishments pro-
posed by the Chinese government to be
inflicted upon tine responsible leaders OF
the Boxer movement. Mr.. Conger has
not communicated with the department
for more than G week.
Without taking Issue with Mr.. Conger.
respecting this matter OF punisnments,
the stats department has earnestly adj
vised him MT to insist upon impossible
conditions In tho negotiations.
An interesting problem Is suggested by
the possibility, which today is almost
probability, that the ministers represent
ing the powers at Pekin cannot reach an
agreement II Russia, France and the
United Statss should refuse to accept the
German idea as seconded by the British
representative very much would depend
upon Japan and even some of the lesser
powers represented at Pekin by ministers
might have great power In swaying the
proceedings OF the council. The impress
sion seems to be that If a majority OF the
ministers or perhaps even one Of the rep
resentstives of great power withholds
assent TO the agreement, then ths whole
undertaking falls, and there must be
either fresh negotiations directly between
the home governments In the effort to
agrse upon new buses OF action. or the
powers must proceed to deal with the
Chinese situation singly or IN groups, the
latter contingency having bean provided
for in the German British agreement.

Ing.
The last argument against woman
suffrage had come from Denver, Col,
where it had been discovered that more
girls than boys We're being born. An en-
1nent physician had explained that the
woman suffrage Of Colorado had done
tnis, since woman suffrage made women
stronger minded than their husbands, and
thus caused them 90 bear girls instead Of
boys The speaker said that inasmuoh
as girls had been born In all the ages,
CnaU argumenC would show that always
many women hao been superior to the
men.
The speaker reviewed the recent pro-
gress of women towards the suffrage,
showing how they were entering the pro-
LESSONS, taking pes on the school
boards, etc., and gently r1diculed the re-
monstrant women who, while enjoying
the fruits of woman s agitation for free
dom, still object To the last step in that
agitation. There should be much charity
for these remonsbEants. They did as they
did, simply because they had ten genera
tions of remonstraT2t Is behind them.
What need they care If the name of the
president of Harvard college was signed

for the justice and reasOnableness of the
demand for full suffrage for women.
