Last season was probably the most
successful year that the American turf
has ever known. Many miIHcnaires be-
came interested in the sport and there
were Few big stake events I'm which the
wealthy set did not have a number OF
representative entered. and not many Of
them were won except by horses owned by
millionaires. The coming into the racing
game OF 50 many men who seek 10 derive
amusement from the sport rather than a
pecuniary gain necessarily has had its
effect. and there is every reason 10 be-
lieve that the season which opens with
the spring meeting at Benning on March
p, will prove the most brilliant OF any
season in America. Another element thai
has placed the sport on a high standard
is the inclination on the part of society

racing. Last year Mrs. Harry Payne

In this city there has been a decided

purchase OF horses.

SECOND DAY OF
THE DEDICATION
This Is international Day" at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition
- Ceremonial.
The French Ambassador and the
Spanish Minister Are Among
the Speakers.

st. Louis, May 1.-'International Day"
the second of the trio devoted to the dedi-
cation of the Louisiana Purchase exposi-
ton, broke fair with promise of better
weather than that of yesterday.
The day was devoted to greetings to
and responses by representatives of for
eign nations which will have buildings at
the fair, the proceedings constituting the
dedication Of the foreign section.
The history Of the Louisiana Purchase
under it's three OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
France and the United States-was sug-
gested in the appearance of three speak
ers-Senor Ojedo the Spanish minister;
NJ. Jusserand, the French ambassador,
and D. r. Francis, president of the ex-
position.
The liberal arts building, where the ex-
ercises took place, still wore it's dress Of
yssterday-the mingled colors of Spain,
France and the United States, and in the
speeches the trinity of interests in the
exposition was noted.
At 1890 o'clock this morning the diplo-
mats gathered at the st. Louis club, where
an informal reception was held. From,
the club they were taken in carriages,
under military escort, to the liberal arts
building. The audience did not begin to
approach in size that of yesterday, but
| there was this advantage-those who were
present could hear the speeches.
AL noon the assembly was called to or
| der by Corwin III. Spencer, chairman OF
the exposition Committee on ceremonies

| Carl Swensson, following which ex-Sena-
| tor John II. Thurston of 1.-THE national

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, May 1.-The Importance to
the United States of retaining a hold on
Manchurian trade, and the guarding of
our interests in that province against i'm
ternational complications, is pointed cut in
a report Of special interest at this time
received at the state department to-day
from II. B. Miller. United States consul
at Niu-chuang, China. Russia will in
the end he said, practically dominate
the commercial and industrial affairs Of
Manchuria unless other countries have In
every way equal facilities. American trade
in :Manchuria to-day consists largely of
largely in excess Of that of any other
country 1t is estimated that our exports
to Manchuria will equal 100000 taels, or
35 per cent of all foreign imports.
AS necessary to maintain this CONNER
cial supremacy, Consul Miller makes the
following recommendation:
What Must Be Done.
q First-American manufacturers should
send an expert agent to Manchuria, who
shall sell direct to native firms instead OF
to Shanghai and Hongkong.
Second-The Washington government
should urge the opening of all Of Nam
churia to the trade of the world as free
to us as to Russia or any other country. ..
e. NJ
added to the American consular service,
it's head to be known as the United States
consul general for Manchuria.
IF these things are not DONE Mr.. Mil
Ter continues, lit is very clear to my mind
that the entire mining interests of Man
churia, together with whatever trade is
desired by Russian merchants, will be en-
tirely in their hands"
Flour Goes There.
An increase in imports of American flour
is noted by Mr.. Miller, who says it is evil
dent that Manchuria, Mongolia and Sibe-
ria are soon to become enormous grain
growing districts and will offer better
field in the future for agricultural anc
flour mill machinery than for flour. He
says that from consumer of our flour
Manchuria will soon turn to our mos
strenuous competitor in Asiatic markets.
He adds: Native competition, together
with the effort being made by alert Rus
sian business men to capture the cotton
goods trade of Manchuria, especially IL
drills and sheetings, indicates the impor-
lance of the American manufacturers
looking more closely after this trade

Both Sides Pleased With the Character
of the Completed Jury.
After the examination of ia renire-
men the necessary twelve were secured
late yesterday afternoon and an adjourn
ment was taken until this morning at 10
o. clock. The last man to make the dozen
was Alexis Roy, a Frenchman and a car
penter living in Northeast Minneapolis.
Few questions We're asked by the defense
before it's challenge was withdrawn. Mr..
Boardman accepted the juror after a short
consultation with his assistants. Nothing
of Importance except this selection took
place at the short afternoon session. The
following veniremen were examined and
excused for having opinions: Aaron Weis-
man, Erick Oman, Stephen r. Waldherr

Z Munyon's Witch Hazel Soap is truly
blessing to those who are losing their hair
and becoming bald. This soap is food
and vitalizer; it stimulates and acts as
gentle tonic to the weak and sick roots,
and gives them new life and vigor. It
promptly removes dandruH, scales, humors
and all sores Of the scalp. Give this soap
a fair trial, and if there is particle of life
in the roots, this soap will stimulate and
inyigorate them into new life and healthy
growth. Ofcourse, you know that Munyon's
Witch Hazel Soap for the complexion and
for the toilet is superior to any high-priced
French soap made. 1t makes the skin soft
as velvet and keeps one free from pinples,
blotches and most skin eruptions.
If your blood is out of order, take Mum
yon's Blood Cure. It will drive ali i'm.
puritics from the system and make good,
rich, red blood.
If your liver is sluggish aud you have
sallow complexion, use Munyon's Liver
Cure. These two remedies, taken in al
formation, will soon rid the blood and
system of ali impurities, and give life and
vigor to the whole body, and when used
in conjunction with the soap, makes the
skin glow with youthful freshness.
