GOVERNMENT FAIR EXHIBIT.
Managers Believe, $4,000 Additions
Should Be Asked for the BUILDING.

Managers Believe $4,000 Additional
Should Be Asked for the Building.
Washington, Dec. 5.-Members of the
government board for the ST. Louis
Fair say that they have received no
intimation that they will be expected to
prepare an estimate as to the amount
which should be asked from congress
for the extension and enlargement of
the government building at the fair
and for a government exhibit. They do
not believe that such an estimate
should come from them. They have
canvassed the matter privately among
themselves, and believe that with $780,
900 additional for the building 1t can
be made the finest the government has
ever had at fair. They have also
concluded that for a government ex-
hibit 100000 will provide an exhibit
superior proportionately.
Mr.. Hills, one OF the active members
OF the board. who will have charge of
the treasury department exhibit, says
that with an allotment of funds but
little in excess of what he had at the
Buffalo fair, he can make a better ex-
hihit than the treasury department
has ever had. He has some new,

AMERICA AS A MODEL.
Debate on Tariff Bill in the German
Reichstaq.

Berlin, Dec. 4.-The debate on the
new tariff bill was resumed in Reich
stag yesterday, Count Won Posadowsky-
'Wehner, imperial secretary of state for
The interior quoted the United States
AS an example to be followed in the
matter of tariffs. His reference to the
opponents of the tariff as wanting in
sense and national pride caused an up
roar among the members of the left.
Count Won Posadowsky claimed that
the present tariff scheme was compara-
lively simple. 1t contained 3S7 sec
tons, compared with 654 in Frances
scheme and TAO in the United States
tariff. The object aimed at was not to
admit foreign goods too easily, but yet
not to legislate SO as to cause prohib-
ative duties against foreign countries.
1t was mistake to suppose that the
tariff of the United States was directed
solely against Germany. 1t was d.
rected against the entire world. He
pleaded strongly the cause of the agri-
culturists and expressed the firm in
tention of the government of making
fresh commercial treaties.
Count Won Bulow, replying to the
CRITICISMS of the Leftists, said he wish
ed that there should be no mistake re-
garding the government attitude to-
wards the commercial treaties. They
considered the renewal of the treaties
of long duration to be most desirable,
but Germany purposed arranging them
on basis satisfactory to herself
The interests of other nations would
be met in spirit of reciprocity and
fair dealing, but Germany was in a po-
s.tion to give effect to her wishes with
the same emphasis as other countries.
She need show no more difference than
they
As for the ntterances of the foreign
press, the government would not be
driver hairs breadth from the path
marked out, nor suffer dictation con-
corning Germany's rights and interests.

DREYFus CASE AGAIN.
Facts Coming to Light That May Cause
France More Trouble.

France More Trouble.
Paris, Dec. 5.-The latest Develop
ments in the Dreyfus affairs are, at
tracing notice. The persons interested
on either side appear to be seeking to
call attention to their personalities.
Cross accusations and hints that they
are able to make serious disclosures are
being made While they do not affect
the question Of the innocence Of Drey-
fus they shed interesting light on the
subsequent relations Of Dreyfus, Rein
ach, Labor, Picquart and other Drey-
fusards. Reinach's withdrawal Of his
brief from NJ. Labori in the suit brought
against the former by Nine. Henry was
the first development which drew atten-
ton to the rupture between them.
Labori, about the same time, pub
lished an article in the Grande Revue.
which he edited, on the political situa-
ton, in which he pointed out that the
Dreyfus affair was closed by the fact
that Dreyfus had accepted pardon. In
acquiescing to this settlement and In
accepting amnesty, Labori considered
that Dreyfus' friends had removed the
question from high moral plane into
one of pure personality, and that the
Dreyfus question had ceased to be hui
man and universal.
These declarations indicated rupture
between Labori and Dreyfus. The ma
tionalist Echo de Paris published an
interview with friend of Reinach, and
of the Dreyfus family, who said that
Reinach withdrew the brief because his
friend, Cornely, who represented his
views, had been removed from the posi-
ton of political leader writer on La
BORIS promise to retain him. given him
when Reinach financially supported the
review.
The informant OF the interviewer also
asserted that Labori was furious be-
cause Dreyfus did not remain in prison,
and. from there, continue to prosecute
the work Of his rehabilitation. The In
terviewer remarked that Labori had
sacrificed his reputation and practice
for Dreyfus, and his informant replied:
But, Maitre Labori did not live forev-
err on the Dreyfus affair. and the family
acted very well toward him in every re-
spect."
Continuing, the informant Of the IN
teryiewer said Picquart was led astray
