AGREE ON ISLANDS EXHIBIT.
Governor Taft and St. Louis Authori.
 ties Reach an Agreement.

St Louis, April 17.-As result of Gov ernor-General Taft's conference with the Executive Com mittee of the Worlds Fair, he induced that body to co-operate finan- cially with the Philippine government in the matter of its exhibit. He declared to the committee that Its action would have pronounced moral effect upon the Filipino people, and would do more to- ward the pacification of the island than repressive military methods.
 The Executive Committee unanimously agreed to assume proportion of the ex- pense entailed by the Governor-Generaf plan. On his return to Washington he will submit the agreement to Secretary of War Root for approval.

Vancouver. B. C.. April IT. - Advices from Australia state that on the 10th of last month the new Hebrides Islands were shaken by an earthquake. The shock subsided next day somewhat, but at in. tervals were renewed throughout the week. Six hours after the first trem- bling the city became a blaze of light and Albrim, Lepevi and Tingoa volcanoes burst into action, the Fast named blowing out a new throat into the sea and sending a great water spout over the land. The devastation caused by the earthquake was widespread.

ENTERTAINING KINGS.
the Chicago Inter-ooean.

From the Chicago Inter-Ooean.
 The big reception given to Prince Hen
 " of Prussia by the United States
 makes 1t interesting to learn that the
 most economical royal visitor a country
 can have is the King of Italy. The Ger
 man Emperor is also an economical guest, as he does not care much for mere show. Give him some soldiers to look at
 and a review, and 1t is all he wants. It
 has been estimated that private host
 can entertain the Emperor for a week in the very best style for the trifiing sum of s10oo.
 Leopold of Belgium Is an expensive visitor. To entertain him and his suite for a week costs no less than $200OO. The last time the Shah went to England it cost Sl0O,00O to entertain him for week and there was not much doing" at that.
 That little visit of the Czar to France
 cost the republic a pretty penny. Spec
 ial messengers were sent to invite him at cost of S50O0 and $50, 900 was expend- ed in cleaning up Dunkirk, where he was to land, and putting it in pfesentable | shape. The government erected triumphal | arches at a cost of $50,000 and spent $5,- I 600 for flags.
 Then there were 5000 picked troops to | be got ready, besides the regular review | troops. These picked troops were spec | ially trained drilled, and quartered for | over six weeks at cost of s100,0O0 and twenty-five military bands we're put down | in the estimates at a cost for food and | extra expenses of $12.500.
 The naval review held for the deecta- ton of the Czar cost S250,000. the item for coal alone being s10o,0O0. In saluting powder to the value of $25,0OO was burn ed, and the cost of guarding the Czar was estimated at $500O0 On housing and | feeding him and his suite the sum of | $75,0O0 was spent. and there was an extra of for ,1rfa

Reciprocity in inc House.

fhe debate on the Cuban reciproc- ity bill is practically fight between two factions of the Republican party. They are slangwhanging each other in great style, and in the speeches they are making, much truth hereto fore suppressed in their ranks is brought out. Dingleyism Is exposed unmercifully, and Oxnardism is seen in its most selfish form. The debate has been fruitful. The Democratic leaders of the House. including Mir. Underwood, saw what was coming, z and they wisely voted in favor of considering the bill in committee of the whole.
 Alabama and the rest of the South have much at stake in this bill. Cuba bought last year goods in Eu- rope to the value of $3s,000,000, near ly all of which this country could have furnished, and if sufficient concession in duties were granted to : the new republic her entire trade would fall into our hands. It is be- lieved that if her sugar were admit ted free Cuba would become so pros porous that her trade would rise to $200, 100000 a year, and all of it would be done in this country, for she would buy where she can sell sugar, tobacco and tropical fruits. This would mean that our lumber mills and turpentine stills and cotton factories and foundries and furnaces would have a profitable trade, for it is but a short run between our gulf ports and the cities of Cuba, partic- ularly Havana, the commercial as well as political capital of the island. Alabama has therefore much at stake in the pending bill, and If all the re bate cannot be had that Cuba needs and should have in all honor and conscience and in all commerce, at least start should be made, and the next Congress will perhaps enlarge this until the trade of Cuba becomes American. It Is European at present.
 Those Democrats from the South who voted against the present Cuban reciprocity bill are voting against Southern industries. They are vot- ing against our advantages of 1oca- tion and our products-against the coarse cotton goods that our cotton mills turn out, against the sugar mills that our foundries make, against the finished lumber of our blaming mills, against dozen other products that we produce more cheaply and can land at Havana at less cost than other states can do..
 President Pierce made the first reciprocity treaty, and such treaties are as much approved by one party as another, but any man who has an eye at all can see that a reduction in Dingley duties is democratic to the core, and when such a reduction will benefit Southern industries it is difficult indeed to see how any Southern Democrat can consistently put any stumbling block in the way of it's adoption.

GOOD ROADS IN GEORGIA.
From the New York Sun.


 In improving it's highways the state of Georgia now leads the rest of the South Nearly 2000 miles of graded roads have been built in the state in the last ten Xears and under a law passed in 1891 the various counties now raise $40O, 900 annually for road making and mending. The state law permits the employment of chain gangs of misdemeanor, convicts on road making as a relief to hired freq labor. The convicts are quartered in mov- able camps and during the winter. in country barracks which have all the con- yeniences of well-reBulated prison. The only persons in the state who ob- ject to this method of improving the highways are the convicts and their op- inion does not count

 In United States.

New York, April 1.-The purchase of steel in Great Britain and on the con tinent for use in America has attained great proportions, says Herald dispatch from London.
 The markets of Great Britain and Ger many are being stripped of all their sur plus product. A considerable quantity Is being purchased in Germany. The pur- chases are not of the finished product, but in the shape of slabs and billets.
 Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation, refused to discuss the above statement, but large purchases of steel billets abroad have been reported from time to time, al- though not on so extensive a scale as alleged in the London dispatches.

LOOPING THE LOOP.
Diayolo's Famous Act Feature Of
Forepaugh-sells Circus.

Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
united shows are exploiting feature
this seaons which eclipses in point of
sheer daring anything ever attempted
in any arena. It is the famous Diavolo
in "his looping the loop" on a bicycle,
an act which created ths profoundest
sensation in New York city aud Phlla-
delphia and elected more praise and
was given more space in the metropoll-
tan press than any single act ever pre-
sented to the public.
Looping the loop is described as
danger deriding and death defylng,
which is as near correct as words can
make it. From the extreme height of
the canvas dome Diavolo makes a
thrilling descent down the narrow
plane on bicycle and the momentum
thus gained carries him around the
loop at terrific rate of speed. At
the top of the loop both the rider and
wheel are upside down and going at
the rate of 40 miles an hour. 1t is
a hair-raising act and one that all
should see, as it gives a practical
demonstration of the first scientific
lesson of youth-the swinging in a
circle of a bucket full of water without
spilling. The date Of the show here
is Thursday, Oct. %.
