sidered a censure, would be manifestiy unjust because Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching had urged the withdrawal for a month. However, the notice is so brief that neither plenipotentiary regards it as a reflection upon his actions, thinking that the court means that the powers did not make strong enough representations. As matter of fact if any reflection upon the plenipotentiaries were intended. u Hung Chang and Prince Ching will be humiliated before the foreigners and no longer considered worthy of acting in their capacities.

ALONG IAE LIVELY MIDWAY
VISITORS WILL SPEND THEIR
SPARE TIME AT THE PAN
AMERICAN EXPOSITION
WHAT THE ATTRACTIONS ARE
Concessions Have Frontage Some
thing Over n MiIe-Sky-Scrap-
ing Novelty After the
Ferris Wheel.

BUFFALO, May 24.-The Midway here,
as in Chicago. promises to be the most
popular feature of the exposition, and the
majority of the visitors will probably
make a dash for it the instant they get
inside the grounds, or at least, the
instant they feel the first symptom of the
famous exposition "crick' in the back of
the neck. The development of the mid
way" idea in the past ten years has been
remarkable, and the one here is as 1t
Should be, a distinct advance over it's
predecessors. 1t covers an area of more
than forty acres, and the cost of build
ing 1t was SS,C0G,000 One feature that
VIII be much appreciated is that the
amuscments are set closely together, and
the vast intervening spaces that made
the Midway in the white City so
firing, are agrecahly lacking here.
The concessions have frontage of
something over a mile. More tnan $4,000
incandescent lamps are used in the
illumination. There are 1000 lights upon
the Thompson Aerio-Cycle, which is op-
Grated by Niagara Falls power.
One enters the Midway at the Plaza.
TEE entrance is a building nearly 300 feet
long with two striking towers at either
end. Keeping on the right side of the
street and reserVing attractions opposite
for the return journey, one finds first the
coolest attractions Of the Midway, the
Eskimo village. Here are to be seen
native Eskimos and their nuts, dogs,

and figures. A new feature is the addi-
ton of a number of life-sized p ctures
so placed as to appear to be portion Of
the picture gallery, which are many times
reflected.
The next building contains the cineo-
graph, which is an improvement upon the
moving picture projectors which have
been seen in the theaters. Next Is the
war cyclorama Of missionary ridge
The Philippine village TANKS the war
cyclorama The material for the con-
struction of this interesting feature was
brought from the Philippine islands, and
the village appears like one of the orig
inal island settlements. From 30 to 100
Fflipinos live here in their native style,
and have about them articles and uten-
sils such as are used in their every day
life. The water buffalo, which performs
for the Filipinos the service which the
horse renders to the American, is among
the domestic animals in the village. Fill
pino trinkets are sold to visitors
The next attraction is the German vii
lage, or, as the sign upon the enclosure
reads, Gait Nurnberg." This covers
quite large area, A street of the quaint
old German town Of Nuremburg has beer
reproduced With strict fidelity to the
original. Within the building facine

and other places of business in exactly
the same manner as found in the ole
town.

campment and nomads from the Desert Of
Sahara. There are natives from all
the countries with their huts cabins
and tents, camels, donkeys, goats, mules
and horses; coffee and tea houses, shops,
fruit stands and restaurants for the
sale of Oriental viands and refreshments
Of all kinds. From $50 to 300 Orientals
are employed in this concession.
A nearby attraction that will prove
fascinating to those who were at the
Columbian exposition at Chicago, and to
those who were not, is the w hite City
in miniature, and very beautiful re-
production of it.
Next is a building of strange archi-
lecture and curiously decorated, which
has been called by some the Gem Of
the Midway" Over the entrance is the
name of CLEOPATRA" Here are depicted
the most interesting incidents in the ca
reer of that remarkable queen.
Here is another odd-looking building,
the most striking feature of which is
huge globe with strange devices upon 1t.
This is Mr.. Thompson's Around the
World concession, in which the visitor
may obtain snapshots of odd bits Of life
in various countries in the globe.
A Colorado gold mine has been trans
planted in the Midway, and here is pic
tured the busy scenes in and around one
Of the gold mines typical of the great
mining state. The underground work Of
the mine, with all it's veins and bodies is
shown, with al! the surface improvements
and the machinery propelled by electric
power, including a stamp mill powder
house, timber sheds, blacksmith shop and
cabins, dumps, railroad tracks, engines,
sluice boxes and all the paraphernalia
necessary for a large and prosperous
mine. In the rear of the mine is seen
view of snow-covered mountain scenery
of Colorado, with the Mount of the Holy
Cross and a glimpse of the celebrated
Ute Pass.
Beyond this is the main entrance to the

F1NDLAY DOUGLAS THE WINNER.
Took the Final In metropolitan
Golf Championship Contest.


RYE, N; Y, May &.-Findlay S. Doug
lass, of the Nassau Country club, Long
Island, won the Metropolitan golf cham
plonshlp this afternoon on the links Of
Ceeley, of the Weeburn Golf club, SIAM
ford, Conn, by l up and 10 to play Wal
ter j. Travis, the amateur golf champion
OF the United States, held the Metropol-
ltan honorS up to last evening, when
ne was beaten by Seeley, after a hard
game by up on IS holes.
Inc weather today was most depress-
ing to golfers. The enthusiasts brayed
the storm and followed the players over
the links, seemingly unmindful of the
drenching rain which fell continuous On
his showing with Travis yesterday many
thought that Seeley would put up a
stiff argument with Douglass in the final
match today. But his showing was
rather disappointing, as Douglass clearly
outplayed him. Douglas was lucky, how
ever, as ne had tendency to hook his
drives, but, fortunately for himself, he
was not punished by bad lies, as his ball
always, landed in a playable spot. On
straight, but his work on the putting
greens was not up to the form he ex-
hibtted yesterday. No doubt this was
caused by the change in the weather
conditions, as the greens today were sOg-
gy and slow. In the morning round OF
eighteen holes, Douglas finished up, and
IN the afternoon it only require ed the play
ing Of eight more holes to decide the
match. The first three Of these were
won by Douglas, the fourth going to
Seeley in two less than the DOGGY. Doug
lass won the fifth in to 6, and the
sixth was halved in skies. Douglass won
the next two in to and to 6 respec-
lively, and this finished the match.
Douglas won by ID UP and 10 to play, and,
after he was Congratulated by SeeIey. the

oughly soaked with rain, as were the
couple of hundred golfers who formed
the gallery during the afternoon. The
