PARIS EXPOSITION MANAGERS

Today is Time Set For Opening
Grounds Unprepared and Build
ings Incomplete.

Paris, April 13.-The exposition author
tiles are making strenuous effort to
prepare the show for the Inauguration

grounds and buildings today shows the
task is impossible. The buildings are filed
with debris and the exhibits are only
partially installed.

augural ceremonies are planned to occur
tomorrow, has an army of men clearing
the floor space and arranging the seats.
The work will continue ali night and close
to the hour when the invited guests ar
rive. The hall is a magnificent structure,
beautifully decorated. and is a great trib-
ute to architecture and decorative art In
order to facilitate the labor of clearing
the grounds, thousands of soldiers have
been utilized.
The ceremonies are timed to begin at 2
O'Clock, when NJ. AIillerand minister of
commerce, win make the inaugural adj
dress, to which President Loubet will re-
ply.
The president will then walk through a
portion of the grounds and afterwards
embarlzing on a river craft, he viii go
down the River Seine to the new Alexan-
der III bridge, which he viii formally
declare open. The exposition grounds
will be closed for the remainder Of the

CHINESE ARE MADE CITIZENS
STARTLING STATE OF AFFAIRS
IN CALIFORNIA.
Coolies Passing the Custom House
Claiming That They Were Born
in This Country.

San Francisco, April 15-The Call
this morning says that thousands OF
coolies are passing the barriers Of the
ftustom house and are not only being
landed. but are being made citizens OF
California each with q vote and quail
flied to participate in the political at
fairs Of this city and state
1t is asserted that during the last
thirty-four months 10000 Chinese have
been larded. and of these at least 100
a month have been admitted on the
ground that they were born in this
state. which fact being admitted en-
titles them to the rights or citizenship.
Charges are made that this influx OF
Orientals is only made possible by
fraudulent evasiOns Of the restriction
act
Collector Of Port Jackson said: sTbe
article in which 1t is stated that there
are infractiOnS of the law or lOoseness
in its execution is unfair and untrue in
every respect The figures given OF
Chinese admitted ignore the fact that
a great portion of those are simply re
turning merchants and laborers. It viii
be found that the number admitted for
the first time is less than in former
years
''As to native born Chinese and the
objection that Chinese testimony is al
lowed in those cases. this is the fault
having decided that such testimony is
proper. and must be taken in those
cases
Under my administration over one
half Of the cases which I have re-
ferred to the courts-have myself been
denied landing-have been admitted
upon a nearing before the court

WILL MAKE FIGHT FOR CLARK
PROMINENT SENATORS WILL
HELP MONTANA MAN.
Claim That Two-thirds Vote is
Necessary to Unseat Him-WilI
Not Resign.

Butte. Mont, April ia special
from washington to the Inter Mountain
says: 1t is now certain that Senator
Clark will not resign. The pressure
from his Montana friends and legal
advisers is all in favor of contesting to
finish.
The Times this morning says that
Senators Clay. Bacon, Mason and
Heitfeldt viii make fight on the floor
Of the senate. claiming that a two
thirds vote is necessary to unseat him
They claim that the report of the COM
nnittee does not sustain the direct
charge Of bribery against him. They
will expose the character and plans Of
his enemies and he will doubtless make
a speech in his own behalf.
This policy will prevent appointment
by the governor. and may lead to the
election, of two Republican senators, so
a majority opposition to delay is not
expected. Senator Mason will conduct
the fight for Clark. The latter has
made no statement.

GRAZING IN FOREST RESERVES
SECRETARY HITCHCOCK WANTS
TO MAKE JUST CHARGES.
Sends to Congress Bill Granting
Him the Necessary Authority-No
Lease Contemplated.
Especial to The Rerald.O

Washington, D. c., April 13.-Secretary
Hitchcock this afternoon sent to the two
houses of congress a bill giving the sec
rotary of the interior authority to make
such charge for grazing in forest reserves
as he deems just. The revenue is TO be
expended only for the protection and
of forest reserves. Secretary
Hitchcock, in a letter to congress, says;
"On some reserves grazing can probably
be allowed without injury There are
lands within such reserves better adapted
to grazing than for forest purposes, and
so long as this is so, owners Of livestock
will consider it an unnecessary hardship
20 be excluded from the use of these graz
ing lands and will continue to demand
that they be allowed to enter the reserves
with their livestock.
'If it is rational to utilize the timber
products to derive a revenue, it is equally
rational to provide a charge for grazing.
There Is no lease contemplated by the
bill suggested. 1t simply provides that
when the department allows limited or
temporary grazing in a reserve II may
impose a reasonable charge therefor"

two later We saw that something was
! wrong aboard of her. Screams of wo-
men and children, mingled with the dis
tress calls of the ships whistle were
clearly heard, and as fast as possible
we lowered five boats and made for
her.
We found her sinking, her port side
listing far down towards the water. No
! one seemed to be in command and
everything seemed to be in disorder
Just as we came I'D l saw two men
crawl into small boat on the opposite
side Of the vessel and make off. One of
these, we afterward learned was the
captain.

we began to pass down women and
children. They were all scantily dressed,
some of the babies being entirely naked

I were picked up. When it looked as if
all the people had been rescued 1 or

ment later the steamer went to the
bottom
The children numbered about twelve
or fifteen, and the women the same. The
sailors from the vessel, the GEORGES

said that there had been fifty-five per-
sons aboard, ard that four were miss
| ing"
Down in the forecastle of the New
York three of the rescued sailors told
their story tonight. They said that the
captain deserted the ship with the pilot,
who had brought them out. The three
sailors are Joe Matha, Francisco Pla.
anG-Antonio Delgao.
Martha was the last man to leave
the ship alive. He says that the lost
were Dom Pope Vale, rich Cuban,
who owned the ships cargo of cattle;
the second cook, fireman and an IN
known passenger. Vale, according to
the sailors, had in a belt that he con
/ tinuously wore, $4,000 in gold. His cat
tie, which constituted the whole cargo,
numbered $40, together with eight
horses and seventeen calves. The fire
man who was lost was the man who
gave the alarm of the ships disaster.
Subsequent Investigations made in
Santo Domingo by the passengers
showed that the captain had reached
the shore in safety, and had reported
the wreck TO the United States consul
there. Before his former companion
arrived. however. he had disappeared.
and nothing further could be heard OF
him. The pilot too disappeared.

The remainder of the day was de-

debate there were several sharp attacks
upon Mr.. Talbert (Dem., 5. c., for his
course in delaying action on bills.

Mr.. Hepburn Qa.) asked unanimous
consent to set aside May l for the con-
sideration OF the Nicaragua canal bill.
''I object" shouted Mr.. Burton (O0,
emphatically. The house then proceed

GRAFTON of private pension bills.
During the consideration Of one of the
bills, Mr. Talbert 6. c., whose course
in insisting upon a quorum forced day
pension sessions, sent to the clerks
desk and had read some letters from
old soldiers in various parts of the
country protesting against the special
acts ground out by the congressional
bureau" One of them says the old
soldiers were very sore" Mr.. Talbert
