SERIOUS QUESTION FOR THE PARIS
EXPOSITION MANAGEMENT
TO DECIDE -zas.s
PROTESTS ARE NUMEROUS
American and British Religious
Bodies Object to the Opening
of the Exposition on the
Lords Day.

PARIS, March 31.-The important ques-
ton whether the American and British
section Of the exposition shall be open
Sundays doomed up this week, engaging
the attention of both the American and
British commissioners, on whom pres
sure is being brought to bear by repre-
entatives of their own countrymen to
close the section. Commissioner General
Peck's mail contains a big batch of pro-
tests against the proposition, based
mainly on religious objections, and the
commissioner finds himself on the horns
Of dilemma, a closing on what will
be the principal day of the week will
not find favor with Frenchmen
The situation was different in the case
of the Chicago worlds fair, when the
United States in their own house could
do as they pleased, but both the Ameri-
can and British commissioners feel they
are in the position of guests and are
expected to conform to the customs of
the country. The British commissioner
has received an official intimation from
his government to go as far as possible
towards conciliating the religious feel
ing on the subject. The American COM
mission intend to close their bureau on
the Sabbath, and Commissioner General
Peck will consult with the French au-
thorities with a view of coming to some
susceptibilities of his own countrymen
with the French expectations, and with
the custom here, which makes Sunday
public holiday.
A representative of the Associated
Press saw the French exposition authori-
ties in regard to the question of closing
the American section on the Sabbath and
was told, on behalf of Commissioner
General Pickard that the United States
uoI1ld he unite within their rights in
closing their exhibits, but that it would
be regarded aus a very unfortunate de-
cision Sunday he was informed was
always the greatest day of the week,
and the shutting up of the American
buildings will debar hundreds of thou
sands from reviewing what will be some

From the NeUs Centers Of Europe

at the present moment, is occupying Lord
SahSbury's attention to an even greater
extent than the South African war In
view of the troubles of Great Britain in
South Africa it is more than probable
that Turkey will meet the demands, and
that the Russian troops will be with
drawn.
The scare anent Russian troops con-
centrating in Afghanistan apparently
arose from this movements in the direc-
tiop of Turkey in Asia Minor and Al
ghanistap has passed into the category
of peaceful, embarrassing spheres.
RUSSIAN INTRIGUE.
With all these reports, to say nothing
of continued rumors of Bulgaria's de-
sire 10 throw off Turkeys suzerainty,
and become a Vassal of the car, it is
evident that while Russia is observing
in the letter her promise to England not
to interfere in South Africa, she is not
idle in taking advantage of opportunities
in every quarter of the globe. For the
peace of the world it is reassuring to
remember that the fixed policy of Russia
for years has been to take matters al
most to the point of hostilities, and then
to settle automatically, the only excep-
ton to this in modern times being in
the Crimea, when the tone of the peace
party in England led her to believe that
the country would not Interfere.
AS nation, and as individuals, Great
Britain is very wroth over the Delagoa
bay railway award. The average opin-
ion is that it is merely the latest instance
where the country has got the worst end
by trusting to arbitration. All the high
flown propheSies that an Anglo-German
secret African agreement would become
operative through the decision have fall
en- 1at because the damage against Por-
tugal are so small that she is simply able
to pay them herself, without giving either
party TO the secret agreement their OPP
portunity of bidding for Delagoa bay.
That this would occur was definitely
stated some days ago in these dispatches,
but right up to the last several of the
most influential organs seemed to be al
most sure that Portugal would be obliged
to sell Delagoa bay to Great Britain in
order to pay up.
Rev. Mr. Sheldon's issue of the Topeka
Capital, as repubHshed here, meets with
more ridicule than anything else. The for
lowing comment by the Globe on the en-
terprise is fair specimen:
1.-The journal is very like an ordinary
American paper, only duller. 1t will be
an evil day when the historical rubbish
which poses as religion in America and
to a lesser degree in England has larg-
err following.

MR.. DAVIS GIVES FIGURES
Compilation of Tariff Statistics In
Support of the Remarks He Made
a Few Days since-Mr.- Fair
banks Speaks.

WASHINGTON, March S1.-So FAR as
the committee in charge of the measure
is concerned, the Puerto Rican bill was
completed today, with the exception OF
TWO amendments, which senators had re-
quested should lie over until Monday The
mai two days debate on the bill VIII be-
gin at IL o'clock Monday
AT o'clock Tuesday afternoon the votes
will be taken on the pending amendments
of the bill.
The feature of today's session was an
exhaustive discussion of the peuding
measure by Mr.. Fairbanks Qnd) Partic-
ular interest was manifested by senator's
on both sides Of the house in his speech
IN view of the attitude Of Mr. Fairbanks
colleague, Mr.. Beverage. Several OF the
Indiana members of the house listen d to
the speech and a cordial hearing vas
given Mr.. Fairbanks by senators Of all
parJ4es. He supported vigorously and I'M
equivocally the pending measure, making
an argument which some Of his coll
leagues said would attract wide atten-
ton.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Fairbanks re-
marks Mr.. Davis presented compiiatiL rs
of tariff statistics in support of the re-
marks he had made few days ago, sons
points in which. he said, had been chaI-
lenged.
Mr.. Chandler, chairman of the matt
tee on elections, gave notice that h
would defer asking the senate to egtn the
consideration of the case of former Sen
ator Quay on Tuesday next, in accord
ance with the unanimous agreement, but
that he would ask the senate 10 proceed
with the case on Wednesday neXt q her
under the order of the senate or as qLes-
ton of the highest privilege.
The consideration of the Puerto Rico
bin was then proceeded with. 1t was pro-
vided, by an amendment offered by Mr..
Allen and accepted by MIR. Foraker that
no public Indebtedness of Puerto Rico or
Of any municipality thereof shall be au-
thorized or allowed in excess of per cent
of the aggregate tax valuation of It's
property The committee had fixed the
limit at 10 per cent of the tax vaiua-
ton.
The committee amendments, with the
exception of two, the one relating to the
question Of citizenship of Puerto Rico and
the other fixing the qualifications Of a
delegate to the house OF representatives
of the United States, were agreed to.

BERLIN, March 31.-The various leg
islative bodies here have now adjourned
until the end of April. From the dis
cussions before the reichstag budget
committee 1t is plain that the govern
ment does not deem it likely that the
special taxes will cover the expense of
! the fleet. An increase is necessary but
the government has yielded to the GEN.
ters wish to provide for it, in that case
by new taxes by the Boerse, etc.

Compromise negotiations are con-
stantly occurring about the meat bill
between the government and the agri-
rians. The government believes the ne
gotiations will end successfully, the agra
rians dropping their demands for the
exclusion of sausages and canned goods.
The agrarian council, however, has just
passed a resolution to reject such a
compromise.
An Interpolation signed by 100 Con-
servatives in the diet and aimed against
Prince Hohenlohe is to come up in the
diet after the Easter holidays. The
government, in the meanwhile, hopes a
thereby an Interpolation will be unnec-
| essary.
A bill has reached the re.chstas
against the spread of epidemics, those
mentioned being the pest. smallpox,
cholera, typhus and yellow fever.
AN AMERICAN RUMOR
In view of the publication here Of sew
eral special dispatches saying Germany
has appointed delegates to a commission
which President Mckinley recommended
to adjust the economic differences be-
tween Germany and the United States
inquiries were made by the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press. The for
eign office officials said they knew moth
ing about the appointment of delegates,
and United States Ambassador White
said the same The foreign Office in ad-
dition pointed out that in any case the
difficulties against accomplishing the OBJ
ject mentioned originated in America and
not In Germany Germany after giving
satisfactory reply to the United
States request for the maintenance OF
the open door policy in China, thus
showing her good will towards the
United States, has several times breach
ed the subject of America reciprocatins
by granting a similar privilege In trade
with the Philippines.
This matter has been under discussion,
though informally, both in Berlin and IN
Washington The American answer mas
been that tariffs are not yet regulated
in the Philippines and must await the
proper time Besides, the American ar
gument is that if reciprocity be seriously
considered the Insignificant trade with
German Kiao Chou cannot be compared
with the enormous volume OF trade
with the Philippines and America would
at least expect Germany to throw open
all her colonies to America, not only to
Kiao Chou.
