Washington, who passed through flcn-55
month yesterday on his way from Tip

solinas have had about as much flood as
they could we'll stand down there, and
the loss has been very heavy, much
Heavier, understand, than the loss IN
this State has been. Many OF the rail-
roads have been tied up. and I was some
thing like seven hours covering distance
of twenty miles out of Charleston his
flood seems to be one of the most general
the South has. had in a long time. In the

done to farms, railroads, buildings and
street-car services by washouts has been
Very heavy.

is en- route to washington.
I've fear that the general impression
which has gone forth that the Exposi-=
ton in St. Louis will not be held until
1Jn4 will hurt us some" he said yesterday
ii the lobby of Murphys And We are
doing all We can to correct it. In the
first place, it was purely newspaper sur
mise and was never decided upon. In the
meanwhile we are rushing things at top
most speed, and we will, believe, be
ready. If we are absolutely ready, as
we hope to be, it will possibly be the
first time an exposition of this maSni-
tude has been ready. We are stipulatins
speed in our agreements, so that the ne
Cessity of being ready is impressed on
every one. In other words, we want to
make the exposition the same on the
opening day that it will be every other
day."
