the construction of a steel fridge over
the Tennessee river will by far exceed
the other undertakings both in magni.

this structure alone will call for the
expenditure OF more than 81, 900, 600,

TO PROTECT EXHIBITS.
Germany Wants American Copyright
Laws Amended.

Berlin, May THE foreign Office
has begun negotiations with the gov
ernment at Washington in accordance
with the suggestions of the chambers
of commerce of Berlin, Munich, Caris-
ruhe and other places toward amend
ing the copyright act of 1891 so as
to afford German exhibits at the ST.
Louis exposition better protection
from reproduction.
The foreign Office is endeavoring to
have the exhibits excepted from the
manufactory clause of the act If the
United States government does not
agree to this then the foreign Office
will try to get a guarantee preventing
imitation of exhibits for a fixed pc
riod after the close of the exposition
Some branches of industry, like that
of the photographers, have made their
participation in the ST. Louis eXposi-
ton conditional upon being assured
protection from imitation equal to that
which American workers enjoy in Ger
many.

POWERS MAY INTERVENE.
eituation In Balkans Steadily Grow
ina Worse.

Munich, May 7.-Official advices,
both from Berlin and Vienna, reveal
much uneasiness in high political
quarters lest the Macedonian revolu-
tionaries. despite all precautions, sue
ceed in forcing the hand of Europe in
the Balkans.
1t is pointed out that however repre-
hensible may be the dynamite cam.
paign Of the insurrectionists. which
threaten permanent disruption of or
der. paralysis of business and peril
of life along the main channels Of traf-
fic in Southeastern Europe. apparently
no immediate intention exists to take
the problem from the feeble hands Of
Turkey.
Stil less does any section of the
European concert contemplate inde-
pendent action. Nevertheless some of
the most astute German and Austrian
politicians are driven to the conclu-
sion that ultimately the powers will
be compelled to intervene. They say
that the situation gives no promise
of Improvement and that Europe can
not forever bear the strain of living
on the edge of political crater.

ADMIT AN AGREEMENT.
Illinois and Indiana Coal Operators
File Answer.

Chicago, May I'm an answer filed
In the United States circuit court
during the day the Indiana and Illinois
coal operators, who were recently
made defendants in case started by
the government, admitted that they
had been acting for time under an
agreement, but denied that there was
any unlawful combination to fix prices
of their product. They declared that
the agreement was abandoned before
the court proceedings were begun
and that even while it was in force
they sold coal at prices below those
prevailing In the market where sales
took place There are ten companies
and ten individuals named in the gov
ernments bill of complaint and the
answer was filed ON behalf Of all eX-
cept the Wabash Coal company and
Max Eichberg
The defendants presented figures TO
show that their product was so small
in proportion to the general output of
bi,uminous coal of the country that
their agreement could not have had
any serious effect on the market

Power Would Mean War With Great

London May Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has proclaimed a British
Monroe doctrine in the Persian gulf
and has practically notified the COM
peting powers that any attempt on
their part to attempt a naval base or
fortified post in these waters means
war with Great Britain.
Il say without hesitation,' said the
foreign secretary, dealing with the
subject in the house of lords, that We
should regard the establishment of a
naval base or fortified port in the
Persian gulf by any other power as a
very grave menace TO British interests
and we should certainly resist it with
ali the means at our disposal"
Lord Lansdowne preceded this eX-
plicit enun .ation of British policy by
a review Of the situation there, as it

that so far as the navigation of the
Persian gulf was concerned Great

LoueET TO VISIT ROME.
Said That the Pope Will Decline te
See Him.

Rome, May 7.-President Loubet Of
France will visit Rome shortly after
the visit of the cZar. The pope, after
consulting with the cardinals, has de-
cided not to receive the French presi-
dent. This decision will be semi
officially communicated to France in
the hope that Loubet will not ask for
an interview with his holiness. 1t is
feared, however. that he will ask for
one in order to court refusal, which
is certain if Prime Minister Combes is
still in Office when Loubet comes here.
The pope's refusal to receive the pres
ident of France will certainly lead to
a diplomatic rupture between the Vat
lean and the French government and
the abolition Of the concordat.
