Will NOT Be A MIDWAY.
A Trip Around the World May Com
nrise a Feature at WorId,e Eair

A Trip Around the World May Com
prise Feature at Worlds Fair.
In planning for the lighter amuse-
ment features at the worlds fair
the original idea has been brought
forward by the director of conces-
sions, Mr.. Norris B. Gregg, to arrange
them in the order of a trip around
the world. The attractions will be
selected carefully and will be in each
instance of the highest character that
can be secured The names Around
the World" and "Tour de Monde"
have been suggested. The scheme
will furnish the life and entertain
ment of a trip around the globe. The
visitor who makes Mr.. Gregg's trip
will have an experience as nearly like
the actual journey as can be devised.
From stepping on board an ocean
liner to Home, Sweet Home" from a
band stand on Art hill, he will have
mingled with the peoples of many for
eign countries, will have seen their
native industries, will have partaken
of their food, will have enjoyed their
entertainments. In brief, Mr.. Gregg's
scheme will supplement the exhibits
that go to make up a universal expo
sition, and the architecture of all ma
lions as exemplified in the foreign
buildings.
Among the features of this Tour
de Monde" Mr.. Gregg has already
taken into consideration the advisa-
bility of the coupon ticket by which
at round trip rates the visitor can
take this journey around the world,
enjoying every part of it. Under this
coupon ticket arrangement, part of
the trip can be made in day and
other portions left for other days. If
any one desires to emulate Phineas
Fogg, he can try record breaking on
the Tour de Monde" 1t will hardly
be possible, however, in view of the
length OF the trip, as filled out by Mr..
Gregg's various attractions to do it in
so minutes.
| Concessionaires, to whom some in
formation has been given of this plan
of arrangements for concessions, are
delighted with it, and are devising
their attractions so as to fit into it.
The committee on concessions has
given number of sittings to the pro-
posed Tour de Monde" The more
the members of the committee con-
slider it, the more desirable the plans
seems. There are already under con-
sideration applications for conces-
sions which nearly complete the trip
around the world. Into the arrange
ment may be worked one of the ter
raced hill sides of a Swiss village.
which is said to have been the most
interesting of all the concessions at
Paris in 1900.

TUNNEL THROUGH CASCADES.
zone More Line That May Reach
\ From the Coast to Spokane.

lOne More Line That May Reach
+ From the Coast to Spokane.
One more railway line may connect
Spokane with the coast in the future
this one running from that city to
Bellingham bay. Such is the scheme
outlined by the following Tacoma
dispatch to the Anaconda Standard,
under date of August s.
Announcement is made that the
Bellingham Bay & British Columbia
railroad has located it's route through
the Cascade mountains and will bore
long tunnel under the apex of Hin
ningan pass. The road is controlled
by D. o. Mills of New York and P. B.
Cornwall of San Francisco. 1t owns
the line running from Whatcom to
the boundary over which the Cana,
dian Pacific enters Bellingham bay.
Another line is operated into the
foothills to the Cascades, doing an
enormous timber and coal business.
| This line is to be extended across the
Cascades and the mountain section
will be operated by electric power
| to be generated at the falls of Nook
sack river. The company originally
intended to cross the Cascades by
switchback. The tunnel will be used
instead.
The Cascades are now pierced by
the Northern Pacific's Stampede tun-
mel and the Great Northerns Cas-
cade tunnel, approximately two miles
long. The belief is growing in west
ern railway circles that as soon as
the Bellingham Bay road is completed
across the Cascades it will quickly
build into Spokane, there connecting
with the Hartman system and Civ
trance to Puget sound

MANY THOUSANDS INVOLVED.
Arbitrators Will Meet to Discuss
Claim AGAINST Mexico.

Claim Against Mexico.
The four arbitrators in the dis
pute between the United States and
Mexico regarding the payment of
damages in connection with certain
church property in California, will
meet at the Hague on September
to appoint a fifth arbitrator. The
full court will meet on September 5
to deliberate on the subject.
The arbitrators of the United
States are Sir Edward Fry of Eng
land and F. Demartens of Prussia
and the Mexican Representatives are
Pagana .Guinas Chilli of Italy and
Sovornin Lehman of Holland.
The sum involved is $990.S62, and
the arbitrators are to decide what
part of this sum, if any, Mexico must
pay.
The Plus fund was originally estab-
lished to enable the Jesuits to carry
on mission work on what is now New
Mexico and California The Span.
ish government expelled the Jesuits
in 1857 and seized all of their proper
ty, which thereafter was administer
ed by the Franciscans. When Mex
leo gained her independence she took
charge of the fund. In 1912 Mexico
sold the property of the fund and
guaranteed the church authorities G
per cent on it in perpetuity. At the
same time California was coded to
the United States. Mexico stopped
paying the interest. In 1864 Mexico
paid S9O4,700 arrears on an award
made in favor of the church authori.

Christianity the Fashion.

Richmond, Va, Dec. l6.-An ad-
dress delivered yesterday morning be-
fore the Presbyterian minister, by the
Rev. Dr. H. G.. Du Bose of Suchow,
China, who il n the city on visit to
his friend, DR. [. r. Englis, of Union
Theological Seminary, was remarkable
for several things.
DR.. Du Bose gave a most interesting
accout of present conditions in the
Celestial Empire and made many en-
tightening and encouraging statements.
He related some Of the trials through
which the missionary has TO pass and
then went on to show wherein there
is ground for hope for the future. Ac-
cording to DR.. DuBose, the Boxer up
rising was nothing more nor less than
a blessing9n Disguise 1t has opc.at-
ed to the benefit of the cause of Christ
and has again illustrated the truth
proclaimed by the fathers of the church
that the blood OF the martyrs is the
seed of the church. There is no
trouble nowadays, said DR.. Du Bose,
in making converts. TIE trouble lies
in the opposite direction. 1t is quiet
the style in China now to be Chris
tian, ard the greatest difficulty is to
satisfy himself as to the motives of
the applicant and decide whether be
is fit for admission or not.
DR.. Du Bose will return to China
about the middle Of next year.

also has serious causes for complaint
against the. republic, to insist in
measures of redress. .

The VENEZUELAN Complications
serious---The First Fleet May
be Sent to Ports Within Easy
Range of the venzueIan
Coast.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Disposition
of the men of war of Admiral Dewey's
feet during the holiday is to be made
under the direction Of the secretary
of the navy, in view of the increasing
complications arising in connection
with Venezuela and the wish of this
government not to arouse suspicion
unnecessarily by dispatching large
naval force to Venezuelan waters.
Admiral Dewey cabled the depart
ment yesterday in regard to the
orders for his feet during the
Christmas holidays, though Secretary
Moody did not announce the receip pit
of the dispatch until today. Orders
are now in preparation for the various
vessels and will be forwarded to the
admiral in the next day or two.
No reflection upon Admiral Dewey
is intended by the navy department. in
deciding to draw up the orders for his
ships instead of giving him a freehand
in the matter as it was expected would
be DONE. That there may be tho
rough cooperation of the navy with
the state department in the handling
of the Venezuelan situation, however,
it seemed that the question could be
more satisfactorily settled here, as
the navy department is in possession
of all the facts regarding the action
of The allied powers, and danger Of
conflicting with the policy of the
state department will be averted.
1t is unlikely that men of war will
be sent to La Guayra, the feeling

men of war at this time might cause
uneasiness among the allied powers
as well as offer encouragement to Presi-
dent Castro to maintain his attitude.
On the other hand the situation has
grown so acute within the past few
days that both state and navy depart
ment officials are agreed that it will
not be unwise to rendezvous the feet
in ports within easy range of the
Venezuelan coast.

There is ne Peace Blockade.

London. December l7.-In the
course of long statement in the
House Of Commons today Premier Bal
four said there was no sreh thing as a
pacific blockade. A state Of war
actually existed with Venezuela and
an intimation of the blockade would
shortly be given to the Powers. The
premier also said the operations were
reluctantly undertaken, not to recover
debt, but, after long and patient de-
Law, to recover compensation for as
saults on British subjects and the
seizures of British vessels.
Mr.. Healy, Irish, Nationalist, asked
if the United States assented to block
ade which would exclude United
States vessels. Mr.. Balfour replied
"Neutrals are not consulted when you
are in state of war with third
party
"is war declareds" asked Mr.. Healy.
The premier replied Does the
honorable member suppose that with
out state Of war you can take vessels
and have a blockaGe:''
After reiterating3 Lord Lansdowne's
brief statement in the House Of Lords
Yesterday the premier continued:
"The blockade will be carried out by
Great Britain and Germany along
different portions OF the coast, and
though the two fleets will have the
same objects they will not act as one
force. We never had any intention Of
landing troops in EenezGela or of oc-
cupying territory. even temporarily.
We do not think it desirable on either
military or other grounds. All the
conditions governing such blockade
have been carefully considered and
will be published in due time for the
information Of neutrals. The Govern
ments are most anxious that these
operatins, the necessity for which We
deeply regret, should be as little IN
convenient to neutrals as they can
possibly be made. No difference will
be made between tie vessels Of the
various neutral Powers l think it is
quite likely that the United States
will think that there cannot be such
thing as pacific blockade, and |
personally take the same view. Eviv

Jews on the Battle Field.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
What Have the American Jews
done sor American was the subject
of an address by Rabbi Leon Harrison
before the Peoples Synagogue in the
social settlement building Friday even
ing.
he said in part:
In the war of the Revolution,
though there were probably not 5000
Jews in the country, twenJy-seyen
Jewish officers fought for our indepen-
dence. Manuel Mordecai Noah was a
staff officer of George Washington and
gave to the Government EGO, 900. I
may mention the generous services OF
Hayne Solomon, the friend of Madi-
son. Randolph and Robert Morris,
who loaned $500, 000 to the Govern
ment, that was never returned, and in
many other ways helped his country
n dire need.
Il will simply mention that in the
war of 1912 Jewish brigadier generals,
colonels and captains a,bounded. In
the Mexican war the same is true.
TIE list of Jews distinguished in the
regular army and navy of the United
States is disproportionately large.
Commodore Uriah Levy, the highest
naval ranking officer up to the civil
var, abolished corporal punishment.
{ have in my hand partial ist of 5000
Jewish Americans who fought in the
civil war, among them being sixteen
Union and twenty-four Confederate
staff officers. Their record is distin-
=euished by eminent yalor and numer-
eus awards of medals by Congress.
The old warriors fonl the South

liant Secretary of State for the Con-
federacy. May mention among many
shining instances in North Carolina
six Jewish brothers took the field; in
South Carolina five brothers and like
wise in Mississippi, four being Con
federate and one Union. There is an

BANK OF MULLINS ROBBED.
Evidently the Work Of Experienced
Craeksmen---Five thousand
Dollars Stolen.

Mullins, Marion County, Dec. IS
A bold and daring robbery occurred in
Mullins, S. c., last night.
| and the bandits secured the fat sum Of
five thousand dollars.
For the past few months the bank
carried cash on hand of about $50, 600
in order to meet the demands of the
tobacco interets, bat just now the
season for selling the weed is nearly
over, and lucky for the bank they were
only trying to carry enough cash TO
transact the nominal business.
From all reports that can be gather
ed the robbery occurred about 3 o'clock
a. NJ, as the night watchman for the
Mullins Lumber and Brick company
stated that he heard the report just as
the o'clock watch was punched.
The work of the robbers shows that
they were fully up to their business,
as they knew the location of the rivets
that bolted the combination on to the
vault and after getting into the vault
they then had to break open another
safe Of the Hall make, which was ap-
pareDtly entered without the least
trouble, as great pieces of plate steel
was found lying on the floor in the
vault, and the big door was lying at
the foot Of the safe in demolished
condition. Evidently some great ex-
plosive was used.
Every. effort has been put forward to
secure the whereabouts OF the robbers,
by sending dispatches to all points
along the Coast Line notifying the
town and city authorities to look out
for any suspicious characters, also
messages were. flying in every direc-
ton to secure Che services of blood
hounds.
Finally the dog of Nh. Wright. gen
eral superintendent of the Butler Lum-
Der company, was secured. The dog
was brought to Mullins by private con-
veyance5 and carried to the blacksmith
shop where some Of the tools were
taken to do the work, but the dog
seemed to take no notice Of any par
ticular trail. He was then carried TO
the bank with the same result.
The bank is thoroughly protected by
isnurance, and the burglary will ocea-
sion no loss.
The bank will be ready for business
again in the morning.
The work seems to have been done
by professional cracksman. The

TIE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Senator TilIman is Opposed to
Making Them a Colony for
American Negroes.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Senator Till
>man is politically and emphaticily op-
posed to Senator Morgan's plan of
utilizing the PHILIPPINES as a colony
for negroes. Commenting on the
scheme today the South Carolina sena-
tor said: It seems we never go beyond
the penetrating stink Of this lily
white-and- -black-and- business. It
is continually popping up in one form
Or another. First it is giving the
negro his rights then it is eliminating
him from politics, with the education
al question and colonization schemes
following close in the rear.
tell you none Of these plans will
ever succeed, that is, from the human
itariau point of view and the Ameri-
can people will insist upon that being
taken under consideration. Now, say
that the negroes are taken to the Phil
lippines, there will be the cost Of
transportation to the Pacific ocean, Of
the ocean svoyage, of the preparation
of some temporary habitation until
they are able to provide for them
selves, and feeding them until they
raise, harvest and market their first
crops.
eff this is all the government
intends to do for them, why the item
of expense would be something enor-
nous. It would be necessary to tax
the people to the point of oppression.
Suppose such plan is put into prac-
tice by the government possibly with
hurrahs, camp meeting fervor, and
promises of paradise, 1000, 600 people
might be induced to go to the islands,
but then you would have 1000, 900 left.
The removal of 100000 negroes is
not going to solve the problem. The
race breeds so fast that the 1000, 900
gap would be filed in no time and you
still have that great expense on the
other side Of the Pacific ocean.
It is too much like the 40 acre-and-
mule scheme that was suggested at the
close of the war. Most of the plans
are suggested, I believe, as the result
of speeches by negroes who have ac-
ouired some education and the gift Of
CAB, like Thomas Forune for instance,
a blowhard who goes around lectpring
in highfalutin way. Why he has
even made talks about advising the
negroes to arm and assert them
