The magnificent buildings which are
to house the exhibits of the Pan-Amer-
can Exposition at Buffalo next sum
mer are fast progressing toward COM
pletion and will soon be ready for the
collections which are on the way from
all quarters of the American continent.
The scene upon the grounds of the Ex-
position, in the northern part of the
city. including part of the famous Della
ware Park, Is busy one, and every
day sees some definite progress made
in the construction work. Conditions
have been very favorable to rapid
work. and the Pan-American Exposi-
tion bids fair to break the record IN
the matter OF swift construction of Ex-
position buildings and their entire com
pletion before the time arrives to open
the gates TO the general public.

PEOPLE FEAR ROCKEFELLER.
Roumania's Premier Tells Why His
Nation Rejects Bids for Lands.

BERLIN. Jan. 16.-Prme Minister
Carp, CT Roumania, who is in Berlin,
when asked why his government had
rejected the offer of the Standard Oil
company to buy large tracts of coal
fields, replied:
The government viewed the mat
ter in the most favorable light, but
the people of Roumania We're bitterly
opposed to the idea on account of their
fear that Mr.. Rockefeller would soon
come to control and manipulate the
railroads here just the same as he does
in the United States. This fear,
of course, was groundless, since the
railroads of Roumania are owned and
controlled by the government. The
coal fields are still offered for sale
at the price of 4O,O0OOOO francs We
have received offers from French
concern, but as yet from no other
country. nor from English capitalists.

Essnys on run-Amcricnn.

movement to interest the public
school teachers and public school pupils
In the PanAmerican Exposition to be
held at Buffalo next summer has been
started. 1t originated in some of the
public schools of Pennsylvania and ia
being taken up elsewhere as the wis
dom of the plan becomes apparent. The
idea is to have the teachers in the pub
lie schools write essays for various oc-
casions of an educational character on
the objects and aims of the Exposition
and the bearing that such display
will have on the commerce of the
world. a similar plan regarding the
Paris Exposition was found quite sue
cessful and resulted in the attendance
of large corps of teachers at that fair.
The plan contemplatcs also essays by
pupils. 1t is believed that In this way
much information can be spread re-
garding the benefits to be derived from
cultivating closer relations with the
different countries of this hemisphere
and that 1t would result In greater in
telligence among the public school
teachers and pupils on this subject. as
well as n larger attendance among this
class Of the population at the Exposl-
tlon.

Especial Correspondence
Very little was accomplished in
either branch of the Legislature today.
owing to the excitement hinging on
the senatorial question. the house ad-
journing at the noon hour to allow
members to engage in caucus and the
button-holing process. The dccorous
senators were not quite so frivolous
or excitable and managed to put in
most of the afternoon, but it was evi-
dent the thoughts of many were not
intent upon the work before them.
There were several bills introduced
III the house, among the number be.
ing Burwells anti-treating bill. Mr..
Rurwell has faith that his bill will get
through this session, two years ago 1t
being shelved as a freak. The au-
thor looks upon the measure as one
that will settle the drinking question
nc a greater extent than any legisla-
ton ever proposed. II is held by
many that nine out of ten drials are
taken by the treating habit" A

Two years ago many thought Mr..
Burwell was burlosquing when he intro
duced the measure, but it is very evi-
dent he was in dead earnest then and
more so now. But the bill will have
a hard row to hoe" If expressions
from various members count for any
thing
There is one bill over which no con
tentions arise and every member falls
into line as regular as cloekwork -
the one which appropriates money for
the payment of their salaries and
mileage the first half of the session.
There is no iiillibustering or non
sense of any kind. The average leg
islator is not at all squeamish over
the expenditure OF state funds when
it comes to his own requirements.
1t is ever thus through life. The house
found time to pass such bill during
the morning hours,

BIG EXPRESS DEAL ON.

try's express business may fall into
the hands of the financial powers oil

such an arrangements have been tax,
en- under the guidance of j. Pierpont
Morgan and james ]. Hill, who are
figuring very prominently in the re
cent big railway deals, and the gen
eral scheme is said to have been out
Ened. The report is that the powers
intend to conduct the express bust
ness OF the country as a regular de
partment OF railroad operation, strong
provision being made to have all the
1oads act in harmony.
The currently quoted stock of the
biggest express companies-the Amer
lean. the Adams the Wells-Fargo, the
United States, the National, the South
crn, the Pacific. the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific-is valued
at considerably more than 100000
600, the stock of the first four named
alone have market valuation of
about SS0,0OO,OOO.
While nothing definite regarding
the plans is obtainable, it is thought
to be the intention of the railroad Of
ticials to refuse to renew contracts
with the companies where the remain
ing life of the contracts is not long
end make outright purchases of fran
ohises where the contracts will have
long lives before them.
The express companies have con
tracts ranging all the way from five
10 twenty years. and at the expira.
ton Of their legal agreements they
are ut the mercy OF the railroad com
panies. James j. Hill is on record
as having said that a railroad com
pany should control every source of
revenue within its jurisdiction. Uuit-
odly, the officials of the railways say
the railway companies could carry on
the express business as satisfactory as
the present companies are conducting
it.
The officials cite as an instance that
roads individually can be their own
express companies, the Dominion eX-
press which is operated by the Cana
dian Pacific company over its own
lines, and the Denver & Rio Grande
line, which is the power behind the
Denver q Rio Grande Express com
pany.
