THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION

st. Louis, May 1.-The following
statement was given out this evening
by President David r. Francis. Of.
Louisiana Purchase Exposition com
panyi:
The sundry civil bill which passed.
the house several weeks ago and is
now before the senate, contains an ap-
preparation Of: 81, O48, coo to provide
for a government exhibit special
Indian exhibit and the additional cost
of the government building at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. 1t
was deemed advisable to- have the date
of the fair definitely fixed in that
bill, insthe event any change from
1903 should be decided pom: For
many months past the fair virtually
has been postponed for one year. A
decided majority ofsthe directors pre-
I fer 1904 and have for six months OF
more The repeated request Of both
domestic and foreign exhibitors for
postponement, evidences from foreign
governments that they had not snfi-
|cient time In which to make prepare
tfon for a representative exhibit IN
1903. and the fact. that the general
public have for months past consider
ed postponement a foregone conclusion,
were some of the reasons that moved
the executive commit ttee to authorize
and inform the national Commissioners
that any action of congress changing
the time of the exposition from 1868
Ito 1904 would be acceptable 90

Perry NJ. De Leon displaced,

Washington, April 3o.-The state de-
partment has decided to place another
man in the consulate general at Quay
aquil, Ecuador, in place of Perry M.
De Leon, who has just returned to the
United States from his post. Eric
tion has arisen between the local au-
thorities in Guyaquil and Mr. De
Leon. The selection Of his successor
has been made, and will be announced
shortly.
Mr. De Leon was appointed to
.Guayaquil from Georgia July Is, 1897.
His particular activity in the case OF
the American, Bolan, who had been
imprisoned by the Ecuadorian courts
in connection with a disputed railroad
construction contract, was the matter
which brought him into trouble with
the authorities, taken in connection
with the cases Of other Americans who
claimed his good Offices.

Capital Turning to the South.

The recent capture Of the control Of
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
is more significant than. appears on
the surface. Whether intended sim
ply as speculative coup or whether
part of a deep-laid plan which mas not
yet been developed, the sudden ap-
probation in the market value of this
great railroad property means that the
eyes of capitalists have lately been
turned as never before upon the
potentialities Of The South The Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad having
the largest equity in the development
of the Southern territory was the first
conspicuous interest to be bought mp,
showing the new direction in which
capital is now moving. In consequence
Of this the other Southern railway
systems have suddenly acquired new
value in Wall Street, but the invest
ment movement will not stop with
them.-Courier7Jo Journal.

The low rates givensby the railroads
have the effect of inducing many to
got to the Exposition, and the trains
have been crowded every week lately
with visitors. On this subject the
speciai correspondent Of the State
Esays- s..5s735s
Those nj thin the boundaries Of this
State who have not. yet visited the ex-
posi- tiion, or who; have visited 1T and
wish to come again, are reminded that
the loW Tuesdays rates that have been
offered during the month Of April
have not only been extended through
the month Of May, but viii be IN
Isefect on every Thursday also, and that
while it's possible that the exposition
may be:extended beyound the first OF
June, there is considerable doubt on
the subject, and every one who de-
ssres to see the exposition should take
advantage Of these rates in May.
The hot weather is bringing out the
grass and flowers. While the trees in
the up country are just beginning to
put out young leaves, the spring is
quite well advanced here and the
flowers are blooming gorgeously and
luxuriantly. There have been some
rumors abroad that the midway peo-
pie are beginning to leave here. This
is all a mistake. Bostock's big flying
trapeze has indeed been moved away,
but he has for months had a date for
that part of his show. His splendid
animal arena will stay here until the
exposition closes.
To,,.. ,crror;n4o,danh of +ho
South Carolina building, has request
ed all in charge Of exhibits in that
building to tell him whether or not
they will stay here after June lst. ALI
but one Of the answers were unfavora-
BILE to the proposal. This is said to
be representative Of the attitude of the
exhibitors and concessionaires in all
other buildings. It is hardly proba-
ble that the show will be continued
through the month Of June.

presidents without cause. Many OF
the operatives are moving away, a

nothing to expect from the mil. presi-
