LOUISIANA EXPOSITION rs POST
PoNED ONE YEAR.
FOREIGN EXHIBITS DESIRED
Ex- Governor Francis Of Missouri Gives
His Reasons for Postponement--
Says It Will Be Greatest Show
in Worlds History.
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Louisiana
Purchase exposition, which was to have
been held at st. Louis in 1903, will not
take place until 1904.
This fact was practically conceded by
Ex-Governor Francis, president of the
exposition company, and Adolph Busch,
the financial agent OF the company, at
the White house today.
Since arriving here and comforting with
the foreign representatives, Governor
Francis and Mr. Busch have come to the
conclusion that unless the exposition is
postponed for year they will not be
able to secure the elaborate foreign ex-
hibits which are desired.
They find, for instance, that a great
Japanese fair Is to be given under gov
ernment auspices In 1903 and IL the ex-
position Is postponed until 1904, every
thing of interest exhibited there can be
brought to st. Louis the following year.
1t Is the desire of the exposition man
agement that the foreign exhibitions
especially shall be very complete.
Want Foreign Exhibits.
"In 1903 we can make the exposition
as great as any ever gIven,' said Gov
ernor Francis, but II we postpone a
year later 1t will surpass anything in
the exposition line ever attempted. We
can be ready in 1908, but 1t is questioned
whether we can secure what we want
from abroad by that time"
In order to interest foreign govern
ments, it is the desire of the exposition
management that the foreign agents
of the exposition be appointed and ac-
credited by the state department and
steps are being taken to that end now
Yesterday Governor Francis and Mr..
Busch extended an invitation through
the German embassy to Prince Henry
to visit st. Louis during his stay in this
country, but no reply had been received
up to noon today.

last man to leave boat, says the rudder
stock was twisted by the large seas
that were rolling and the steering gear
refused to work. The steamer then lost
her head and rolled in the trough of the
sea until she struck.
Engineer Williams made every effort
to work the vessel off with her own
steam and stayed in the engine room
until he was driven out by the water.
