Yesterday morning President Loubet
made his first official visit to the expo
sition since he inaugurated it nearly
six weeks ago NJ. Loubet, guided by
NJ. Millerand and the heads of depart
ments of the exposition, visited the
French exhibits installed in the build
ings on the Esplanade des Invalides.
These buildings contain the exhibits of
liberal arts and the president visited
every one Of the different classes of
exhibits and complimented the exhib-
itors. Most of the exhibitors offered
valuable souvenirs to the president but
he gracefully declined.

All the Partisan theater managers
who have been making great prepara-
tions for the crowd which they sup
posed would flock to their theaters
during the exposition are somewhat
disappointed at the attendance. They
thought that the crowd after days
sightseeing in the exposition would
turn with one accord toward the thea
ters but, while this is the case in q
measure it is the theaters on the Rue
de Paris which receive the greater
part of the patronage This Rue de
Paris is row of theaters and other at
fractions somewhat similar to the Mid

Paris, May 25-4 ne American fol-
ony in Paris, as we'll as the commits
sioner general and all those connected
with the United States commission,
was startled few days ago by a state
ment which appeared in the Paris edi-
ton of the New York Herald to the
effect that the United States national
pavilion was unsound and that this
was the cause of the crowds not being
admitted to the galleries during the
ceremony of the inauguration OF the
pavilion. The commissioner general
at once tock steps to have this mis-
statement corrected and the next day
an article appeared contradicting the
one of the day before and assuring
everybody in general and the Ameri-
cans in PAL ticular that the building
was perfectly safe and that no danger
would be incurred by anyone who en-
tered it. The reason that the general
crowd was not allowed to enter the
galleries was that these galleries had
been reserved for invited guests. The
pavilion since it's inauguration has
been daily thronged with Americans
who come to prifft by the different de-
vices for their comfort and cOnVen>

little incident occurred the other
day which is only another instance of
the bitter feeling existing between the
French and the English. When the
news of the relief of Mafeking was re-
ceived several Englishmen who were
working in one of the English sections
in the exposition gathered together
and sang God Save the Queen. When
the F'renchmen in the vicinity heard
this demonstration they too gathered
together and cried Vive les Beers. The
two hostile crowds passed remarks,
and blows were being exchanged when
a posse of police appeared on the scene
and dispersed the crowd, thus prevent
ing any serious trouble. Apropos OF
this, it is very evident to any one WHO
has any conversation with a French
man of the middle or lower classes
that nothing would please them so
much as a fight with the English.
They all regard England as their
past, present and future enemy, and
anything that England does in
south Africa is closely watched
as the French seem to think
that England has designs on

AS time wears on it begins to look
as though the United States was not so
terribly prompt in the matter of in
stalling exhibits after all. Many Amer
lean visitors are disappointed at the
backward condition of some of the
exhibits and they are almost unani-
NOUS in criticising the national which,
they say, is not at all creditable to the
United States. 1t is doubtless true that
the newspapers talk about the surpass-
ing excellence of the United States ex-
hibits has been somewhat overdrawn.

The controversy over the American
bar has been settled and thirsty Amer
leans are now relieving their misery
in a special prosque near the publish
ers' building where the New York
Times issues its daily Paris edition.
The bar was at first placed in the ma
tiOnal pavilion. The protests of the
American temperance organizations
were too strong to be resisted and an
order was issued which compelled the
removal of the bar. 1t may be inter-
esting to intending visitors to the ex-
position to know that this bar is really
and truly American and that real
American drinks are mixed there.
There are any number of so-called
American bars scattered through Paris
but the consensus of opinion is that
the American is all in the name and
not in the drinks. Judging from the
number of inquiries it would seem that
the American bar is one Of the most
popular American enterprises in the
exposition.

The postoffice is doing a rushing
business both in receiving and in for
warding mail All the mail to be sent
to the United States is sealed in the
regulation u. S. mail bags and sent di-
rectly to America without passing
through the hands Of the French postal
authorities at all. This is a great
convenience as it saves a day or more
in the time of transmission from here
to New York.

Madagascar. The French workmen
never lose an opportunity to insult the
English and they have several pro-
DOer and anti-English songs which
they sing as a sort of a taunt when
there are any English in sight There
is one, for instance, that ends Nicola
les Anglais, Oh, yes, how shocking"
These last four words seem to comprise
the English vocabulary of the ordi-
nary Frenchman. An American must
not be surprised to hear "Oh, yes or
very we'll from the mouth of an ig-
norant Frenchman. 1t merely means
that he mistakes the American for an
Englishman and is trying to insult
him. 1t is also very common to hear
a French workman cry "Vive les
Beers" on seeing a crowd Of English
people such as are often seen in the
large buses which are employed by
Cooks tourists to carry their victims
around to the different points Of inter
est.

The United States machinery build
ing at Vincennes was inaugurated on
the 18th inst. with appropriate cere-
monies. Mr.. Francis E. Drake, di-
rector Of the department of machinery
and electricity, handed over the build
ing to Commissioner General Peck who
accepted it in a short speech and who
then gave a signal which started the
machinery in motion. After the speech
of Mr.. Peck, Gen. Horace Porter, am
bassador of the United States to
France, made a few remarks. The
building at Vincennes is occupied by
exhibits of American tool machinery
and the French papers speak highly of
the rapid progress that has been made
Ey American inventors in this line.

influence lin attracting attention to
building up a town than any other
agency that can be employed. People
go where there is business. Capital

cate irregularities in passenger rates. II Is
intimated that some of the lines are again

and some of the general passenger agents
lave instructed their representatives at
prominent railroad centers TO keep their
eyes and ears open and to see what is go

which only general passenger agents enjoy.
and that with the sanction of the president

Of business TO seek the stronger lines, and
the matter is commented on in passenger

CAPT. CRENSHAW DEAD.


ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. 2~S.-Captain Frank
Crenshaw, Twenty-ninth Volunteer In
fantry, died here this morning. Captain
Crenshaw saw service in Cuba and the
Philippines, and a wound received in the
battle of Putol eventually caused his death.
Captain Crenshaw. who arrived in At
lanta a week ago, made an ante-mortem
charges outrageous treatment and neglect
on board the transport Sherman from
Manila TO San Francisco. The statement
was 10 the effect that after the vessel
left Manila and was on the high seas Of
fcers in the staterooms near Captain Cren-
shaw's complained that he kept them
awake by showing his suffering from his
wound. He was taken from the state
room and. paralyzed in one side, unable
to lift his head and almost unconscious,
was placed in a berth down in the hold of
the ship near the engines and among the
insane men who were confined there. Capt.
Crenshaw said he was unable to hold him
self In the berth and fell out three times
while the ship was riding out storms in
the china sea. He finally bribed a hos
pital steward with SIS to give him some
attention. At San Francisco Captain Cren-
shaw alleged that treatment was refused
him, the surgeon in charge informing him
that IL would be impossible. because of
limited assistance in the hospital. The
wounded officer, accompanied by his uncle.
then started for Atlanta. and an operation
was performed here. The body of CAPTAIN
Crenshaw will lie in state at the Capitol
until noon tomorrow, when IL will be taken
to Lagrange, Ga, for interment.

neither was the neck fractured. as sus-

evidences of assault, that in the mind or

injury that caused death. The heart
showed no signs of trouble. The Robinson
woman and her relatives attempted to
make 1t appear that the man was subjected
to heart trouble. and fell upon the stove.

are convinced that this theory is false,
and that the man never fell upon the stove,

to show it. The belief now is that a des-
perate fight occurred, and that Robinson
