EVENTS OF 4 WEEK BRIEFLY CHRONIclED
Attorney-General Ruiss that Worlds Fair Commission Cannot Draw from Appro- pristion for Mileage and Per Diem Heavy Loss Rt TtXsrkana from Wind. storm.
Worlds Fair commis,ion

The Arkansas worlds fair eommis- sion met at Little Rock May 27. with all members present-Messrs. George R. Bedding of Hot Springs, James c. kembert of Helena and George T. Lake of Fayetteville. Attorney General Murphy sustained the board in it's con tention that the old board had no au. thority to make a contract for a build. ing at St Louis to cost $l00,O ,O00, when only $30,0U0 is available. Another question decided by the attorney gen eral is that the old board exceeded it's authority in allowing the members mileage and hotel expenses in attend Ing meetings of the board, the law being specific in the designation of the uses to which money may be put. The attorney general says that the lesisla- ture may not have intended such a construction, but that the act is very clear upon that point. Several hun dred dollars have been paid out on that account. President Bedding says that literal construction of the law may force the closing of the office until fur ther legislation can be secured, which would be serious loss. but they must move in strict accordance with the law. A resolution was adopted re- Voking the contract made by the form CT board with Architect Hart for $l00,00O building at St. Louis. An. other resolution was adopted contin- uing the officers until July 1, when definite action will be taken. A third resolution adopted requests the form CT members of the board to refund moneys they collected as travelling ex- penSeS.

Its Unveiling in Washington Com bining Demonstrations of h.

THE PRESIDENT DELIVERS AN ADDRESS.
that the American People Prize the Fresh Proof of the Friend- ship of the French PeoIe-Count- ess De Hcchnmb be n Drew Veil.

Washington, May 25.-The presi. dent of the United States joined with the official representatives of the French republic in unveiling the statue of Marshal De Rochambeau. the compatriot of Washington, and the commanderin-chie of the French forces in America during the revo- Iutionary war. It was an event com bining many demonstrations of inter- national good will, with French sail ors from the battleship Gaulois min gling their cheers with American bluejackets, French flags entwining their folds with the Stars and Stripes, and with oratory and music express sive of Franco-American friendship.
 The ceremony of unveiling was fixed for II o'clock, but long before that hour the streets were filled with marching men, and with great crowd eager to witness the exercises and review. A battalion of French seamen arrived by special train from Annapolis early in the day, and, head ed by the crack band from the

A TREACHEROUS MORO.
Prctended to be Wounded, md SIashed on the Arm of
 United States Soldier.

Manila, May 27.-While Second Lieut.. Robert c. Humber, of the Tenth infantry, and Sergeant Wall ing, of the same regiment, were walk ing about six miles from Camp Vick- CTS, in Mindanao, o,they perceived a sim gle Moro carrying flag of truce. When he had approached close to the Americans he suddenly drew his creese and slashed Sergeant Walling cutting his arm completely off. Lieut.. Humber attempted to shoot the Moro, but his revolver missed fire, and the native escaped in the tall grass.
 Gen. Davis, the commander of the American forces in Minranao, has re- iterated his orders that no American soldiers are to leave camp unless in parties of a< least eight men, who must be armed and prepared for any emergency.

PEACE SEEMS ASSURED.
The London Papers Seem Agreed That Peace in south Africa VIII soon
 Bs Announced.

London. May 26.-The Daily Mail this morning says the cabinet coun- cil to be held to-day will decide upon points of detail. mostly of a financial nature, which have been raised by the Boers in the peace negotiations. Great Britafn's decision in the mat ter will then be communicated to the Nereining conference by the dele gates at Pretoria, says the paper, and, being the best obtainable terms. they will almost certainly be accepted. The results should be announced off, cially either Thursday or Friday of this week, the date upon which King Edwards birth is celebrated.
 Peace is quite certain, says the Daily Mail, and the delegates at Pre- toria are only engaged in endeavor- ing to gild the pill for the Vereining conference to swallow.
 The Daily Mail says further:
 Our dispatches from Pretoria. as- sert that numerous communications are passing between Lords Kitchener and Milner in South Africa and Lon don
 Lord Kitchener. although he is still full of energy, is much aged in appearance as result of the severe and continuous strain which he has undergone. The consensus of opin- ion is that the recent negotiations have proved Lord Kitchener to be a great diplomatist as we'll as a great soldier.
 '1t is difficult to appreciate the magnitude of the difficulties Kitchen CT has had to contend with. The Boer leaders are all deeply impressed with his personality, and trust him implic- i.ly.
 Tt is understood that Lord Milner (the British high commissioner in South Africa) has gracefully admit ted that the ultimate credit for the accomplishment of the great task is due to Lord Kitchener"

RoCHAMBEAU STATUE, WASHINGTON. D. c.

French battleship, swung through Pennsylvania avenue to Lafayette square, where the shrouded figure of the French field mashal awaited the signal for unveiling. The American soldiers, sailors and marines already had assembled, and gave their French brothers -in-aEms d hearty welcome. The Americah troops were under com mand of Maj j.-Gen. s. B. NJ. Young. and embraced a battalion of enei- neers, battalion of sailors and ma rines with the Marine band. a bat talion of cavalry and of field artil- lery, and a brigade of national guardsmen from the District of Co., lumbia, representing all the various branches of the United States mili- tary and naval service.
 President Roosevelt and the mem- bers of the cabinet arrived at the re viewing stand shortly before II o'clock, and took position facing the draped figure. Alongside the presi- dential party sat the French ambas- sador, NJ. Gambon, Gen. Brugere, Vice Admiral Foruier. and other distin- guished representative of the French government, and also the Count and Countess De Rochambeau and Count De Lafayette, descendants of the gal lant soldiers who fought with Wash ington. Cardinal Gibbons was to have opened the exercises with an invoca- tiOn, but in his unavoidable absence Rev. Dr. Stafford delivered an i'm pressive opening prayer. At its con clusion President Roosevelt stepped to the front of the platform and ex tended a generous welcome to the French guests. The president spoke as follows:
 Mfr. Ambassador and you, the rep resentatives of the mighty Republic of France-I express to you on behalf of the people of the United States their warmest greeting We appreciate to the full all that is implied in this embassy, composed of such men as those who have been sent over here by President Loubet to commemorate the unveiling of the statue of the great marshal, who, with the soldiers

and sailors of France, struck the de- cisive blow iii the war which started this country on the path of independ- ence among the nations of the earth. (Applause.) l am sure that 1 give ut- terance to the sentiments of tho United States, of every American to whom the honor and glory of the past. as well as the present, are dear, when l say that we prize this fresh proof of the friendship of the French people, not only because it is neces- sarily pleasing to us to have the friendship of a nation so mighty in war and sc mighty in peace as France has shown herself to be, but be- cause it is peculiarly pleasant to feel that, after a century and a quar- ter of independent existence as a na- tion, the French republic should feel that in that century and a quarter we have justified the sacrifices France made on our behalf. (Applause.)
 Il am sure, my fellow-citizens that you welcome the chance which primes it about that this embassy of the French people should come to our shores at the very time when we, in our turn, have done our part in start ing on the path of independence q sis ter republic-the republic of Cuba. (Applause.)
 "Mr. Ambassador. the people, pe- culiarly because they are the Ameri- can, and because the history of the United States has been so inter- woven with what France has done for us-also because they are proud of the whole world which acknowledges, and must ever acknowledge in a pc culiar degree the headship of France along so many lines in the march of progress and civilization-the Ameri- can people, through me. extend their thanks to you, and in their name beg to express my acknowledgements to the embassy that has come here and to President Loubet and all of

 As the president closed his re- marks, the Countess De Rochambeau drew aside the veils enveloping the figure, bringing into view the mas slve bronze proportions of the fla nous French commander, standing proudly erect, with arm outstretched. directing the fortunes of war on the field of Yorktown. A great cheer went up from Frenchmen and Ameri- can alike, and at the same instant the Marine band broke into the inspiring strains of the "Marseillaise." As the French national hymn died away, Am bassador Cambon escorted to the front of the platform the youthful sculptor, M. Hamar, who executed the statue. Then the ambassador, speaking in French, delivered a brief address.
 The orator of the day was Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, who began his address as the French band con cluded a selection. As Mir. Lodge closed the French band played the Star Spangled Banner" The clos ing remarks of the day were by Gen. Brugere, of the French army.
 Bishop Satterlee brought the cere- monies to close with the benedic- tion, and the French and American forces passed in review before the president.
 In the afternoon the French guests visited the capitol and the congress sional library.

A FRIGHTFUL DROUGHT.
Crtsis to Seven Hairless Years In Australia Sheep Dying By tho
 Million.

London, Nay 27.-Cabling from Sydney, N. s. w.. the correspondent there of the Daily Mail gives an ac- count of the terrible drought from which.as a climax to seven dry years, Australia is now suffering. The cor respondent says that the losses in stock in Australia since 1899 amount to 15,000,o00 Unemployed mer are drifting into the cities by the thou- sands, and there the state govern ments are providing them with relief. The only districts that have escaped the drought are the northern r,vers district of New South Wales and parts of the Riverna district.
 The situation has been aggravated by the federal duties on fodder, which prevent it's importation. Ow- ing to the expense of fodder, the firm which had the contract has abandoned the hauling of the mail in Queensland, the cost of the transpor- tation having risen from E6,00O to 30,0O0 annually.
 The sheep are dying by the million, continues the correspondent, and even the rabbits are starving Ami mals have stripped the bark from the trees for food. A common method of treating exhausted horses is to slit the animals palate with knife; the horse is revived by swallowing his own blood. Numbers of Sun downers" and "Swagmen" have been found dead by the waysides. The gov ernments are doing everything possi- ble to alleviate these conditions, but meteorologists despair of an early change in the weather conditions

The following call has been issued by citizens of Little Rock
 Whereas.
