PARIS EXPOSITION MAD.
Quarter Million Persons Attend Public
Opening.

Paris, April 16.-Not less than a quarter
million persons focked through the great
entrance to the Exposition grounds yester'
dav. the first occasion that the public had
been afforded to get more than glimpse
at the worlds resources as typi6ed in the
exhibits.
Once again the weather was superb,
which undoubtedly aided the visitors in
forming good opinion of the show, even
in its marked incompleteness. Americans
were much in evidence, and American
flags were everywhere in the decorations.
President McKnley's cablegram to Pres
ident Loubet was much appreciated and
Parisialls generally seem extremely deSr-
Gus of extending warm welcome to then
fellow Republicans.
The verdict of the French press is unani'
nous that the Exposition must prove the
great means of improving Frances rela
tons with the outside world and conse
quently be a considerable factor in inter
national peace.
The American pavilion was closed, but
so were nearly all the buildings along the
Seine, their woefully incomplete state be-
ing strong reason for barring their doors

TURKEYS PROMISE NOT KEPT.
This Government May Have to Enforce
It's Demand for Indemnity.

Washington, April l6.--lt is learned on
undoubted authority that the negotiations
for the payment Of indemnity demanded
for the destruction of American missionary
property in Turkey in the Armenian msssa'
cres in 1895 have reached their logical con-
cluslon. Minister Straus secured a prom
ise from the Sultan that indemnity to the
amount of S9O,0c0 should be paid, and
that promise having been twice renewed,
the last time before the departure Of Min
lister Straus from Constantinople, it was
understood by the Minister, as well as 10y
the State Department, that payment would
be forthcoming. Sixteen months haze
passed since the promise was made, and it
has not vet been frl6iled. A question,
therefore, presents itself as to what action
this Government will take to enforce its
observance. Meanwhile, the President has
refused to accept the resignation of Minis
ter Straus, and has indefinitely extended
his leave of absence.

DEWEY CASE EXPLAINED.
Story Purporting to Prove That His Can
didaOY Was an Act of Vengeance.

Chicago, H., April 16.-The Times Her.
aid publishes the following from its Wash
ington correspondent -
"The Admiral Dewey mystery is ex-
planned at last. The real reason for the
Admiral's sudden announcement of him
self as Presidential candidate and his
bitter feeling toward President Mckinley
are cleared mp by discovery which was
made today.
"Adniral Dewey himself furnished the
clue to the explanation by complaining to
his friends that President Mckinley has
been unable to pay Admiral Dewey the
same compensation as that received by the
civilian members of the late Philippine
Commission, $4,000. The President want
ed to pay this sum to the Admiral, but
the law would not permit. That section
of the statute which says 10 one shall hold
two offices Of trust and profit under the
United States Government where the COM
pensaton exceeds s., 800 was in the way.
about month ago Admiral Dewey
called at the White House and asked Pres
ident Mckinley about the compensation
for his services as a member of the Philip
pine Commission. The President told
him he wanted to pay him the same sum
al ,i,,ilinrN fn
ceive. Admiral Dewey then volunteered
to the President the statement that in his
opinion there was but one candidate for
President in this country; that there should
be but one, President Mckinley.
You have earned reelection and the
people will give it to you !" the Admiral
said. Dewey then went on to say that he
had always been Republican, that he
was originally Republican on the slavery
issue, was afterward Republican on pro.
lection, then on the money question, and
was now Republican on expansion. He
thanked the President for all past kind
nesses and went away III happy frame Of
mind. A few days later he started on his
tour through the S.uth.
When Dewey returned from his South
ern trip the first thing he heard at the
office of the Secretary of the Navy was
that the law would not permit him to draw
the $40. 900 compensation. The Admiral
lost his temper He declared he would
have vengeance for his fancied wrongs, and
in day Or two not only the people of the
country. but Admiral Deweys most init
mate friends, were amazed and surprised
at his announcement that he was candi-
date for President.

The Richmond News says ave are
told that the per capita of money is now
$26.l2, and many of us are wondering

1t is now pretty we'll settled that the
Virginia Democrats will make the consti-

to count the electoral vote cast IN the COM

The Republicans when placed in power
do not hesitate to exercise their authority
and settle all public questions after proper
deliberation. The Democrats when not in
