Again we warn our readers not to

PENDING LEGISLATION.
The President COnfers with Sena- tors With View to Securing
 Unanimfty of Action.

Washington, June 3.-Senators Proctor, Nelson, Gamble and Kilt redge called at the White House Mon day afternoon, on invitation, and had a conference with the president in re- gard to pending legislation. The sub- jects discussed were the Cuban reel procity bill and the prospects for canal legislation at this ses- sion. The object of the conference was to urge upon the senators the necessity for unanimity of action on these subjects at this session. An other conference will be held with other senators with the hopes that the members of the senate can be gotten together on these subjects and legislation speedily enacted.
 As to the canal it is known that the president would reluctantly accept the responsibility imposed by the Spooner amendment of selecting a route, but he would much prefer that congress select the route itself.

To Organize 8 State Fair.

The following call has been issued by citizens of Little Rock:
 Whereas, The state of Arkansas in the last decade has rapidly increased in population, in the development of her agricultural and mineral resources, and her people have put forth large in- dividual efforts for the improvement of her different enterprises, especially in the raising of hogs, poultry, grain. cot ton and fruit; and
 Whereas, No state effort has been made on the part of the people for any organized attempt to exhibit and de- velop her agricultural. industrial, com mercial and other industries, and the state has long been a laggard in this lire, while other states have far out stripped her by systematically display ing their advantages at state and coun- ty fairs and industrial exhibits. Now, therefore, be it

0NLY IRELAND SILENT.
Great Britain Holiday Making in Honor of the Conclusion of
 Peace in South Africa.
THE STREETS OF LONDON THaOAGED.
Following the Example of the King But Small Desire is shown to Crow Over Late Enemies-Mes- sage From the London Stock EN- change to Lord Kitchener.

London, Junt 3.-With the excep- tion of Ireland, practically the whole of the United Kingdom was holiday making, Morslay, in honor of the conclusion of peace in South Africa. The streets everywhere wer> thronged with people who. every now and then, relieved their over strung nerves by an outburst of hoarse cheering or by praying penny trumpets. The tone of King Edwards message to the people and the ab- sence therein of any note of eXulta- tion seems, however, to have set a good example, and while giving free vent to their own satisfaction, the British are showing small desire to crow over their late enemies.
 Flags. Bunting and SaIutes.
 Flags and bunting were everywhere displayed, church bells were rung saiutes were fired, and there was general jubliation on all sides.
 Crowds of suburbanites poured in- to London at an early hour and con verged toward the usual centers, the Mansion house, Royal exchange, Ira falgar square, etc, and quickly be- deeked themselves with tiny flags, buttons and badges. 1t intervals, some enthusiast would start singing God Save the King which was talk en up by the happy throngs, and was heard for miles through the neigh borhood streets from one end of the metropolis to the other.

Messnge to Lord Kitchener,

The earliest demonstration. on the stock exchange, where the members arrived an hour-earlier than usual. South African securities and officials. At the opening. God Save the king was sung by all present and tele- gram was dispatched to Lord kitch- ener, as fellows:
 ''The members of the London stocl, exchange join with the rest If the British empire in rejoicing at the happy end of the heightened cam paign. Peace with honor is fitting prelude to peaceful coronation. Ac- cord all praise to your lordship and the brave boys with you.''

The police were unable to hold them in bounds and crowds surged around Mr. Chamber lain's carriages, hHrrahing and shout ing until the secretary reached the building.
 On the adjournment of the cabinet meeting the crowds repaired to Buckingham palace and St. James palace, and further relieved their feelings by cheering the king and other notabilities who attended the Ievee, at which the United States Am bassador, Mir. Joseph Choate, and all the members of the embassy and a number of special coronation enyoys were present.

Attorneys General Rules that Worlds Fair
 Commission Cannot Draw from appro- priation for Mileage and Per Diem Hoavy Loss at Ts1srkana from Wind-
Worlds E..r Commission.

The Arkansas worlds fas' .ommis. sion met at Little Rock May 27, with all members present-Messrs. George R. Bedding of Hot Springs, James c. Rembert 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 build ing at St. Louis to cost s100,00o, when only $3O,OU0 IS available. Another question decided by the attorney gen eral Is that the old board exceeded its 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 legisla- ture may not have intended such 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 a literal construction of the law may force the closing of the office until fur ther legislation can be secured, which would be a 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 $1O0,OO0 building at St. Louis. An other resolution was adopted contin- uing the officers until July l, 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.
