the Bridge dIena, where luxuriously up
holstered river steamboats, were waiting
to embark the party for the trip up the
Seine to Alexander bridge. ...,
A vast throng, which tried to reach the
Champ de Mars In advance of the presi-
Dental party by passing through on the
ground floor of the agricultural hall
found 1t a discouraging. task. Piles of
plaster, blockades of timber and untitled
excavations confronted them everywhere.
Over these they climbed, almost suffo-
Gated from the dust. Handsomely gown
ed women, in spring attired, braved the
difficulties, but only at the cost of running
expensive costumes.
This is only an example of the incom-
plete condition of the interiors of most of
the structures, which must undergo a
months labor before the public can find
the exhibitions in place and view them
with comfort and without sacrifice to
wearing apparel.
President Loubet and the foreign COM
missioners entered the first barge at the
Bridge fIena, and the encourage followed
in the other four. A party of Cossacks
lined up on the river front in front of
the Army and Navy building and gave a
salute as president Loubet passed in the
steamer. The president bowed in recog-
milton, and the ffotilla proceeded, Presi-
dent Loubet passing complimentary re-
marks on several of the national pa
vilions, which were artistically adorned
with flags and flowers.
AMERICAS DISPLAY.
Reaching the American pavilion the
Stars and Stripes were dipped from the
Flagstaff, and two American marines sta
toned on each side of the Washin gton
statue waved a tri-color, while the crowd
of Americans gathered on the embanE-

Loubet a ringing cheer. The president
was greatly pleased at this little coufte-
sy, and, turning to Ambassador Porter,
who was beside him on the boat, he re-
marked:
THE American always does right; this
is a magnificent building
To many visiting Americans, however,
our national pavilion is disappointment
1t is pretentious, almost overp0wesing,
with its big dome and startling frescoes
over the entrance but it compares unfa-
Vorably with the beautiful buildings of
even smaller powers, like Italy, Spain
and Austria, which are its neighbors
along the Seine
The boats reached Alexander bridgc,
where the party landed. They traversed
the bridge, after admiring the vista up
the esplanade of the Hotel des, Invalides
in one direction and through the new
Avenue Nicholas II. in the other. Along
the latter the president proceeded until
he reached the Champs Elysees, where
the party entered carriages, and, escorted
by cuirassers, drove back to the Elysee,
loudly cheered by the assembled thou
sands

BOYCOTT DECLARED.
Strike Situation on the Southern
Grows More Serious,

Grows More Serious.
ATLANTA, Ca, April 14-The Order
of Railway Telegraphers tonight declared
a boycott on the Southern railway and
hope to make it effective through the
ticket and freight agents of the United
States and the Federation of Labor. Tel
egrams were sent tonight by President
Powell to the twenty-nine ticket and
freight agents in the United States, ask
ing them to route passengers and freight
by other lines than the Southern, pending
the present trouble, A message was also
sent President Gompers of the Fedora
ton of Labor, requesting him to boycott
the railroad.
President Powell claims the strike to-
night is more effective than any time
since it's inception. He assigns as a rea-
son for the runningS of passenger trains
by the Southern the abandonment of the
freight traffic. The railway people here
say that both passenger and freight traf-
fic is moving with but trif1ing delay, and
that if it were not for the newspapers
they would not be aware of any strike.
A south-bound local freight and a
work train came into collision today on
the Mobile division of the Southern rail-
road, near Thomasville, Ala, both loco
motives being ruined and fireman hurt.
The wreck is said to have been caused by
an attempt to run freight trains on a
time card, in the absence of operators. 3

DIRECTION
UNION MEN MAKE PROTEST
Repetition of the Complications OF
the Mckinley Cornerstone Lay
Ang Threatened-TeIeg
eTs' Strike.

CHICAGO, April 1A-Another case Of
assault, which may result in the first
death during the present labor difficulties,
has been reported to the police. Frank
Riepot, a non-union man employed at the
Western Electric company's works, was
assaulted four times while riding home on
street car. His jaw was broken and
he was otherwise SO badly beaten and
kicked that his condition Is regarded as
serious
Owing to the recent labor riots two
women physicians have volunteered their
services to the Building Trades council,
and at their offices, near the new Marshall
Field building, where most Of the trouble
has occurred, everything has been pre-
pared for the prompt treatment Of any
workman who has the misfortune to get
hurt.
Complications similar to those which
arose last fall between union labor organ
iZations and contractors over the cutting
of the cornerstone Of the new Chicago
postoffice, laid by President Mckinley,
may result from the decision today of
the committee in charge of the erection
of the grand stand for the Dewey cele-
bration, May l. to accept the offer of the
building contractors council and the
Master Carpenters and Builders associa-
ton to furnish the necessary material,
erect the stand and remove the structure
without cost to the committee The offer
of the contractors and master carpenters
and builders was made with the under
standing that they use any labor they
may see fit and as yesterday they is
sued a public manifesto that they would
not employ union labor under any circun-
stances on contracts now under way In
different parts of the city, as a result of
the present difficulties with organized la
Dor, it Is considered probable that the
work of erecting the stand will have to
be done under police protection.
Although no formal offer to build the
stand was made by the Carpenters union,
timated to the member of the committee
that the union would be willing to erect
the stand upon the same terms offered by
the contractors. The union, however, fail
ed to present its offer in writing.
The Master Carpenters and Builders
union is composed of many of the wealth.
lest contractors in the city. Under their
agreement they will build the grand stand
with their own hands. The veteran con-
tractors, who have not had hammer
or saw in their hands for years, will don
overalls and take an active part in the
work of construction.
Work will be begun on the structure
during the coming week. Chairman
Theurer, of the committee, said today
that the committee did not anticipate any
serious trouble with the labor unions over
the stand.

LONDON, April 15.-There has been the
usual Saturdays absence of news, both
from the war office and other sources of
Information. The situation in it's chief
points is apparently unchanged.
Natives report from Kimberley that
Col. Douglass engaged the Beers near
Zwartskop on Wednesday and succeeded
in driving them back The British cas-
-ualties were slight.
Elandslaagte last evening reported that
there had been no traces of the Beers
in that .neighborhood for the past two
days. Their progress southwark had
been effectively barred by the British
occupation of Jonenoskop on the left
and Umbulwani on the right
BOERS SEEK BATTLE.
The belief that the Beers action on
Tuesday was due to restlessness and dis
satisfaction in the ranks is confirmed by
natives, who say the Beers have been
) ready for some time and wanted only
the British to attack them. In order
to force this the Beers commenced she'll
ing, at the same time sending a force
to make a fanking movement on the
left. The natives also confirm the
statement that one of the Beers heavy
guns was put out of action and the
gunners driven off.
The scouts on Saturday located the
Beers in a strong position eleven miles
ahead of the British advanced position
at Bloemtontein.
VIGOROUS PROTEST..
Lord Roberts has strongly protested
to President Kruger against the treat
ment of prisoners, sick and wounded, in
the hands of the Beers, and has formally
demanded the observation of the Geneva
convention.
1t appears from every indication that
the Beers are preparing in the event of
Pretoria being captured to make a last
stand along a line reaching from Beyden-
burg along the mountains into Swazi-
land A traveller recently arrived at
Bloemfontein says that Beers energetical-
ly point out to the natives that the
British cause is lost, and seek to in
gratiate themselves, seeking foothold
in Swaziland and hold the country If nee
