THE BUFFALO EXPOSITION.
Will Not he Seriously Hurt by Failure
to Get Loan.


BUFFALO. n. Y, March 5.-Replying to
an inquiry regarding the refusal of the
House of Representatives to concur in the
Senate amendment to the sundry civil bill
granting a loan of S500,000 to the pam
American exposition, VIM. |. Buchanan, di-
rector general of the exposition, said today
that the result would in no way affect the
exposition. "All the principal exposition
buildings" he added, .are practically COM
pleted and for the most part paid for. This
condition has never existed two months
before the opening of any other exposition
in this country.
1T is now less than two months before
the opening, and the panAmerican eX-
position has met all its obligations and has
money in the treasury, and it has other re-
sources In the way of bonds and stock
which are by no means exhausted. In
view of the fact that the international
character of the exposition has become un-
usually pronounced, it was thought proper
and prudent to give Congress an additional
opportunity for emphasizing this fact by
aiding the exposition by means of a mod
crate loan. The fact that the House re-
fused to non-concur in the action of the
Senate will not affect in the slightest degree
the construction work of the exposition, or
the plans already adopted for carrying out
the great enterprise to the end.
There is no question whatever that all
the money needed to meet the obligations
of the exposition will be obtained. The
people of the state of New York, while not
the state are abundantly able to carry for
ward a work that will not only be highly
creditable to the state but to the United
States and to the new world

YOUNG ACTRESS MURDERED.

NEW YORK, March 5.-A sixteen-year-

twenty years old. The murder was COM

Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. with
her mother and Gugivelino Sorentino, a
friend of the mother the girl left the hall
and walked down Mulberry street. They
had reached the northeast corner of Bay
ard street when Triolo. who had evidently
been waiting in a doorway, was seen walk
ing rapidly toward them. When he was
within a few feet of the trio he drew a
revolver, and pointing it at the girl emptied
the five chambers in quick succession. Two
of the bullets took effect, either one being
sufficient to cause death. Triolo ran away,
but was caught by policeman. He said
the girl had preferred other men to him
and that he could not live without her.

HAY PAUNCEFOTE TREAT
TIME ALLOWED FOR RATIFICATION
EXPIRES.
1t is Believed That England Will Sub
nit New Proposals anu Negotta-
tions May BE Resumed.

The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, intended to
replace the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, relative
to the construction of isthmian waterways,
died at noon yesterday. Inc death was
caused technically by the TACT that the last
clause of the treaty allowed only the period
of time up to March for ITS ratlhcatlon.
Neither the government OF the United
States nor of Great Britain appears to have
made any formal effort to extend that pc
riod. Mr.. Choate, our ambassador at Lon
don, was reminded by the State Depart
ment few days ago that the period al
lowed for ratifications would expire March
4. But he was not instructed to make any
communication to that effect to the British
government, being allowed to exercise his
own discretion that point; nor was he
told to make any propoSltlon lor an extern
sion of time.
For it's part, the British government, hav-
ing before it the amendments made by the
Senate to the treaty, has SO far failed to
make any return. 1t Is true that these
amendments have been under consideration
by the British government for very short
time, considering their vital nature, ana
the very long time that the original treaty
was held under consideration by the United
States Senate. Therefore there would ap-
pear to be technically no ground for ad-
verse criticism on that account
However, dead though the treaty may he
from the point of international law, 1t may
still serve purpose. 1t Is understood here
that the British government either has pre-
pared, or is preparing, communication to
the United States government based upon
the Senate amendments, analyZing them
carefully, pointing out their probable effect
upon the original proposition, as seen from
the British side, and perhaps suggesting
some notifications. While 1t Is impossible
to predict in advance of the receipt of this
communication just what attitude the State
Department will assume toward 1t, there is
reason to believe that 1t will be taken in
good part, and that negotiations will be
resumed for the conclusion of a new treaty
with a view to meeting If possible the OBJ
jections raised by the Senate to the original

This movement of the New York from the

at Hampton Roads by the navy at much
better terms than at New York, and TIE
