MONEY ADVANCED
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR
PRELIMINARY WORK
To the End That Washington May Be Repre-
scented At the St. Louis Fair-Representa
tives Of Commercial Bodies Meet at OIym.
pia and Agree to Assess Cities and Coun.
ties the Sum Named

Olympia, April 26.-The state OF
| Washington, through delegates repre-.
senting the commercial bodies of it's
principal cities, in convention assem- led
at Olympia, pledged the sum of $4,000
for the preliminary organization of a
suitable exhibit to represent the state
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
to be held in st. Louis in 1903. The
money was secured by apportioning to
each county of the state the responsible
ity OF raising certain amount based on
an approximate estimate of the value of
property of the several counties. The
preliminary fund is to be returned to the
various subscribers out of the appropria-
ton that will be voted the exhibit by
the next legislature. To facilitate the
work of organization, Mayor G. J. Lord
and Gwin Hicks, state printer, both of
Olympia, have deposited the whole of
$4,000 to the credit of the committee
appointed to take charge of same until
the governor appoints an executive COM
mittee, when the funds are to be turned
over to that body.
Under the resolutions adopted, the
governor is to appoint commission of
from five to seven members, selected from
the business men of the state, and he is
also to appoint an executive commission
er, with power to remove him, or men,
bers of the commission. This will give
the governor control of the commission,
and the con- mission control of the exhi.
bit, and will obviate a repetition of dis
ruption and scandal such as marked the
aftermath CT the Pan-American exposi-
ton.
The question of state appropriation
was not discussed at the convention, the
delegates being unanimously of the opin-
ion that this feature of the exhibit was
immaterial at this time. Not discord-
ant note was struck, everybody being
anxious to conserve the best interests of
the state by providing an exhibit that
will be at once representative and rank
favorably with all others.
Olympia, April 26.-Governor Mcbride
at midnight announced the names of the
st. Louis fair commissioners, as follows
G. j. Lord, Olympia; George B. Kan
die, Tacoma; Charles l.. Denny Seattle {;
t. B. Sumner, Everett; Miles G. Moore,

JAILED IN ITALY.
American Naval Officers at Venice Charged
With Rebellion Against Police.

Venice, Italy, April 29.--All members
of the crew of the United States cruiser
Chicago, arrested for disor6erly conduct
here yesterday, have been sentenced to
terms of imprisonment ranging from
three to ten months each.
New York, April 29.-Capt. Robert F.
Wynne of the marine battalion; Robert
E. Ledbetter, assistant surgeon; John S.
Goddridge, lieutenant, and James Chat
ham Kress, of the United States cruiser
Chicago, under arrest at Venice, deny
the charge of rebellion against the po-
lice. They say they simply tried to free
themselves for defense against some peo-
pie exasperated by their involuntry up
setting of tables.
Commander Beehler, the American
naval attache, expressed great chagrin
at the affair. He says the officers enjoy
no special privileges ashore, and must be
judged according to the laws of Italy and
afterwards, if found guilty, be courtmar-
tailed for conduct unbecoming officers
and gentlemen. The officers are still
imprisoned. Bail is non-existent in
Italy.

HANDS NOT CLEAN
BRITISH GOVERNMENT SEVERED v
CRITICISED
In Course Of Debate in the House Of Commons.
for Its Abuse Of Power in Connection Win
the Detention Of Albert Cartwright
Conservatives Join Opposition and vob
of Censure Is Barely Escaped.

London, April 25.-The forcible deten.
ton in South Africa of Albert Cartwright
who, while editor of the South African
News, charged Lord Kitchener, prior tn
the engagement with Gen. De Wet, with
ordering his officers to shoot all prison.
ers, formed the subject of heated de.
bate in the house of commons.
John Morley, Liberal, moved the ad.
iournment of the house. The success Of
the proposition would practically amount
to a vote of censure on the government
in general, and on Lord Kitchener and
Lord Miner in particular. Mr.. Morley
pointed out that Mr.. Cartwright, who
bad served years imprisonment for
libel, now desired to come to England
and that his detention was illegal, un.
constitutional and tyrannical. He added
that the explanation of Lord Stanley, the
financial secretary of the war office, who
served in the South African war as chief
press censor, that the government did
not think it desirable to increase the
number of anti-British propagandists in
this country, was the most outrageous
heard in the house since Simon De Mont
fort established parliament.
The secretary of state for war, Mr..
Brodrick, in the course of reply, raised
storm by saying that although Mr..
Cartwright had served mis- legal sentence
the question of his liberation was still
"sub judice."
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal,
and Winston Spencer Churchill, Con.
sentative, both protested against such a
course.
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader
contended that the government was JUS
titled in OBTAINING even British subject
if it thought his wanderings were calcu.
lated to injure the interests of South
Africa. Those voting for the adjourn.
ment would be condemning Lord kitch-
ener and Lord Miner, in whose keeping,
at this moment, rested the hopes for
peace.
James Bryce, Liberal, and Sir Robert
Reid, Liberal, twitted the ministers for
again interposing Lord Kitchener as a
buffer between the government and the
house.
The spirit of revolt spread to the
government benches Ian Malcolm,
Conservative, who is said to have been

the adjournment would be showing them
selves careless of British honor. After
such an incident he no longer felt sure
that the members of the government
could say they had clean hands in this
regard.
Other supporters of the government
followed in the same strain.
The house then divided and the mo-
ton for adjournment was defeated by
