posed the idea of delay and insisted
upon the fair being held in 1908, but
later some of ner newspapers have
taken more kindly to the suggestion
OF delav. To the commercial bodies
that are preparing to make exhibits
IL is OF Importance that some authori-
tatlve declaration be made as to the
exact date when the fair will be held.
The Washington Post now urges
1905 as the more available time for
the exposition, as the year 1904 will
be a presidential year, with several
national conventions to be held and
number of poltical agitations In
every state that will give the people
other things to think about than
fairs. The same idea is mentioned bv
ooher papers-all of which throw an
other element of uncertainty into the
minds of those who contemplate MAX
ing display at the fair when it shall
be held.
1t would seem that a presidential
campaign need not seriously inter
fere with the success of the fair In
fact, with proper tact on the part of
the fair management, the political
agitation might be turned to good ac-
count. 1t is quite probable that both
political committees would be pre-
vailed upon to call their conventions
at st. Louis, either of when would
be a good drawing card for the fair.
st. Louis would be the political storm
center of the campaign. A presiden-
tial campaign and the Worlds fair
would constitute a double attrac-
ton for Europe, for American
politics and American industries are
matters of intense interest to the
people over there, both in England
and on the continent.
The sentimental reasons that are
worth considering in connection with
fixing the date of the fair are also in
favor of 1904-for it was in 1904 that
the formal transfer of Louisiana took
place, and the ceremonies occurred
in ST. Louis.

PauIas Fort in Mindanao Captured
by Baldwin.
WHITE FLAGS OF TRUCE FLYING
Over All the Towns of the Insurgent
Island and Haste Is Being Made to
Deliver up the Red Flag of Rebel
lion to United States Authorities
by the Little Brown Men.

Washington, April 25.-General
Chaffee cabled today respecting the
situation in Mindanao: Before Bald
win could be communicated with, he
lad taken the fort at Paulas after a
slight resistance. Very soon after
ward, the neighboring town of Ga
nasi opened it's doors, hoisted white
flags and delivered the red flag. Dat
to Lampo and others, with a strong
following, asked permission to call
and make peace. Datto Amani, back
OF Coma, who sent threatening mes
sage in reply to my letter, is one Of
those who have submitted. Every eff
fort will be made to prevent a gen
eral war, Davis says the situation
this time is very favorable"

The Worlds Fair.

1t may be safely presumed that
nine-tenths of the people west of the
Mississippi river are interested in the
Worlds fair that has been planned
to be held in st. Louis to celebrate
the purchase of the Louisiana terri
tory that was made during President
Jeffersons administration in 1904.
The managers who outlined proper
centennial celebration of that great
historic event at first fixed the sum-
mer of 1903 as the proper time to
hold the festivities and to make the
occasion a grand worlds fair in gen.
eral, and particularly an exposition of
the material resources of the west
and what has been accomplished by
the people who have developed the
great, wild and uninhabitable do
main of that time.
During the past year the sugges-
tion has been made that the fair
should be postponed until 1904, for
the sentimental reason that that will
be the real centennial year, and also
for the further reason that as mat
ters now stand, neither ST. Louis nor
the people of the several states can
get ready to make a sufficiently cred
liable display by next spring
At first st. Louis vigorously op

VETERANS ON PARADE.

Remnants of Confederate Armies
March Through Streets of Dallas
Dallas, April 24.-With their blood
stirring to the same airs by which
they had marched and fought two
score years ago, the veteran remnant
of the Confederate armies repre-
senteu at the Dallas reunion marched
through the streets of the city today,
the object OF wildly cheering multi
tudes.
The day was a holiday, stores gen.
orally being closed. Thousands of
visitors were added to the throng al
ready on the streets. Some of the
veterans, too feeble to march, found
places along the route and waved
their hats and screeched the famous
rebel yells.
Following Major General Van
Zandt, marshal of the day, and staff,
came General Gordon and staff. The
erect, slender figure, the alert eyes,
and the gray pointed beard of the
commander in chief were we'll known
to most of the spectators. The loca-
ton of his gray horse, according to
one observer, could almost be told
by the increase of volume of cheers

BRUTALLY TREATED.

Whitecappers Visit a Mans Home
and Beat Him Nearly to Death.
Nashville, Ind, April 23.-Early
yesterday morning 20 masked men
went to the home of Finley Stretch
berry, aged 49, six miles west of here,
and only a few miles from the home
Of William Caldwell, who was almost
killed by Whitecappers the night be-
fore last, and beat their way into
Stretchberry's house. Stretchberry
met them with double barreled gun
and emptied one charge into the
shoulder of one of the gang. One OF
ne Whitecappers seized Stretchber-
ry's wife and forced her into the
kitchen. Stretchberry was then beat,
en- over the head with revolvers and
dubbed until he fell to the ground
He was dragged to the woods and
tied and whipped until the blood
flowed. The cappers then united their
victim, carried him down the road
and tied him to a fence post and
again beat him.
Stretchberry's wife, who was re-
Gently discharged from the insane
hospital, became insane from the ex
element. Both Stretchberry and
Caldwell are at the point of death
and Mrs. Stretchberry's condition is
most pitable. The two whitecappingS
occurred between 48 hours.

Butte, April 25.-William S. Mar
tin, mule driver employed at the
Bell mine, is in a critical condition
at st. James hospital. Martin was
caught under a fall of rock weighing
about 500 pounds while at work on
the sill floor of the 1900 level of that
mine. He was pinned to the floor
and it was necessary for fellow work
men to roll the rock from his head
and shoulders. An operation was per-
formed at the hospital, but it is
feared that Martin will not recover.

TO AMEND ARID LAND BILL.
Rights of Small Settlers and Inter
state Problem Are Covered.

Washington, April 22.-Represen--
atives Newlands and Mondell have
mad several conferences with Presi-
dent Roosevelt about the arid land
bill lately and the result of an inter
change of views will lead to the intro
duction by Mr. Newlands of couple
of amendments to the bill in order to
get in shape for executive approval.
One of the amendments will be
framed to secure public domain to
small settlers. This is the object Of
the bill, but to make it clearer and
meet the suggestion of the president,
an amendment will be added.
Another amendment will deal with
the interstate problem involved in
the bill, so as to leave to the courts
the final determination of any ques-
uon arising out of the administration
of the laws relating to the reclama-
ton of arid lands.
With these two amendments, the
bills have the hearty approval of the
president.
