WORLDS FAIR EXHIBITS
SHOULD Be SHIPPED SOON
Everything Is Prepared, and the
Sooner They Show Up the
Better Positions Will Be.
READY FOR EXHIBITORS

ST. LOUIS, Jan. A.-The Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition now stands ready and is
waiting for the full and general installation
of exhibits. The point has been reached
where the management of the exposition
is no longer occupied with the rapid adj
vancement toward completion of the build
ings, but, instead. it now lays particular
stress upon the Importance of the speedy
shipment Of exhibits, especially those as
sembled by domestic exhibitors
officials of the exposition make the state
ment to the Associated Press that the one
thing of paramount Importance to insure
the anticipated successful and suspicious
opening of the worlds fair is the immediate
commencement by domestic exhibitors to
ship their cars forward just as rapidly as
can be done. Owing TO the unprecedented
participation by both foreign and domestic
exhibitors. vast amounts of exhibits have
been and now are in the course of ar
rangement and collection. The time for the
opening OF the exposition is rapidly APP
preaching, but apparently the knowledge
of the fact is not causing the shipment of
exhibits to be rushed forward with the
promptness and dispatch that is absolutely
essential to insure rapid delivery of the
cars TO the worlds fair site, and TO avoid
possible congestion in the handling OF the
cars after they have reached st. Louis.
The worlds fair management has de-
voted more than ordinary attention TO prep
aration for the handling of cars, and the
arrangements are now completed. Adequate
railroad facilities are ready, the ware
houses have all been erected, and all the
buildings are In such a state of completion
that installation of exhibits can be COM
menced Immediately. What the manage
ment most ardently desires is the
prompt shipment of exhibits from the diff
ferent parts of the country to begin i'm
mediately. Otherwise, if there be delay
congestion in traffic handling after ST.
Louis is reached is almost assured con-
ditiOn. 1t is estimated that from 5000 to
$1,000 cars of domestic exhibits alone will
reach st. Louis during the last Of March
and the forepart OF April AS the worlds
fair Will open on April 80 II Is said 1t
will be difficult to handle this enormous in
fiuX freight traffic at the last moment.
Early shipments. therefore. are requested.

RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY
IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Attorney General Wilsley to Argue
that and Other Questions Be
fore Supreme Court.
AGAINST SPANISH LAW

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. PAL r. Wills
ley. attorney general of the Philippines. has
arrived here, en- route to Washington TO
argue several cases before the Supreme
Court involving constitutional questions
now pending appeal from the Supreme
Court OF the Philippine islands. The
right of trial by jury in the islands will be
demanded by one of them. The act of Con-
gress giving civil government to the Phil
ippines does not contain the clause of the
Constitution which guarantees the right of
trial by jury. The position of the govern
ment of the Philippines is that the jury
system can only be extended 10 the archi-
pelago by an act of Congress.
Another case involves the Philippine gov
eminent act. providing that no person
shall be twice placed i'm jeopardy of pun
ishment FOR the same offense; the Spanish
law, which was in existence at the time
that this asst was passed, gives the gov
eminent the right of appeal from judg-
ments Of acquittal in criminal cases. The
Supreme Court of the Philippines has held.
by unanimous decision, that the act of
Congress does not repeal the old Spanish
law.

HOSPITAL ALONE SAVED;
DESTRUCTION OF TOWN
People Camped in the Open, While
Children Are Sheltered from
the Cold in Church.
SUFFERING AT AALESUND

AALESUND, Norway, Jan. H.-The fire
which swept over this town yesterday
morning destroyed every building in it,
with the exception of the hospital. The
11,000 inhabitants Of Aalesund were COM
damaged and uninhabitable houses were
left standing. The children of the town
had to be housed temporarily in the church
at Borgund. The panic among the people
was so great after the outbreak of the
flames that all attempts at leadership or
discipline became out of the question. but
no excuses were committed.
The people endeavored to save some of
their property, but they soon found they had
quite enough to do to save their lives The
destruction of the town was complete with
in two hours from the time the fire started
Over twenty steam fishing boats and many
sailing smacks were sunk in the harbor in
order to save them from the flames but
three steamers and many smacks were
burned.
1t is believed now that only three persons
have lost their lives. Succor has arrived
from Monde, Bergen and other places and
provisions are being distributed. Relief
committees have been formed and have
invited public subscriptions. The King and
Queen of Sweden and Norway have con-
tributed $1,000 to the relief fund and other
members of the royal family have sub
scribed. A majority of the inhabitants Of
the town lost everything they possessed,
and only in very few cases were the
damages covered by insurance. Thou
sands of persons had to spend twenty four
hours in the open fields, where they were
without food and exposed to bitterly cold
wind and driving rainstorm.

WHY PRINCE DAVID SAVED
BRYAN'S "D|V|NE RATIO"
His Vote at the Kansas City Con-
vention Was Due to a Sense
of Gratitude Only.
CARED NOTHING FOR IT

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-In view of the
announcement made by Mr.. Bryan that he
Will insist that the Democratic national
committee shall stand by and reiterate the
Kansas City platform. free silver at the
divine ratio" included. one of the leading
Western Democrats brings out the facts
regarding the action of the committee on
resolutions at the Kansas City convention.
He says:
"A good many people will recall the fact
that Colonel Bryan got at Kansas City
reaffirmation of the platform of 1896 by the
slender majority of one vote. Prince David.
the delegate from Hawaii. cast the vote
that saved the old platform with it's dec
laratiCn in favor of the 16-to-l theory
The inside OF this affair is interesting, and
up TO this time has never been i'm print
This Prince David, an amable and fairly
intelligent young kanaka. was a delegate
TO the convention. He knew but little as
to the merits of the free silver cause. and
in reality cared less. His adhesion TO the

former Queen Lii had been despoiled Of her
throne Colonel Bryan had taken her side
and expressed the opinion that great act
of injustice had been perpetrated. The
prince had at last got to a place where
he could return a kindness. and he threw
his vote in favor OF agnin affirming Demo-
cratic allegiance to free silver"

SENATOR BEvER|DGE'S
BILL TO Be REPORTED
Republican Leaders Decide on
Their Course of Action in the
Matter of Statehood.
MINORITY AT POLITICS
,cial 70 the IndianapolIs journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The Repub-
lican programme relative to statehood has
been tentatively decided upon If the Dem
ocrats and other statehood boomers will
agree to the plan. it is understood, two
new stars will be added to the flag at this
session of Congress. The Republican lead
ers have decided to unite the bill that
was reported from the committee on terri
tories by Senator Beverage at the last
session of Congress. This measure pro-
vides that Indian Territory and Oklahoma
shall be merged into one State. and Arl-
iona and New Mexico into another. The
outcome is a great personal victory for
Senator Beveridge who was the author
of the bill reported by the Senate COM
mittee last winter.
Whether the Democrats will agree to this
plan is problematical. The minority has
been playing politics in connection with
the statehood measures, believing that If
the four Territories were admitted to the
Union that the Democratic strength in
the Senate would be augmented. 1t has
been demonstrated by prominent Republic
an leaders that three, If not four, of the
Territories are strongly Democratic, and
that senators of that faith would be sent
to the upper house Immediately upon their
admission to the Union.
There is a possibility yet that another
statehood fight may be made in either the
House or the Senate. Senator Beverage
was conspicuous in the contest OF the last
year and If the Democrats oppose the Re-
publican plan as to the statehood measure
the Junior senator, chairman OF the Sen
ate committee on territories, will again lead
the forces in the upper house. II is stated
by Republican leaders that the Democrats
must either accept two States or that
action on the subject will again be de-
ferred

ATTACK ON AMERICAN
STREET CAR LINE At
THE KOREAN CAPITAL
Native Had Been Killed by an
Electric Car, and Mob Quickly
Gathered in Assault.
SAVED BY THE MARINES
Car Crew Would Have Been
Killed but for the PromptnesS
of Legation Guard.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-The State De-
partment to-day received official informa-
ton of an attack to-day by a mob of native
Koreans electric car in Korea, the
line being owned by Americans. because OF
the fact that it had killed a Korean. The
news came in the following cabegram re-
Allen, at Seoul:
This morning on the electric railway,
which is the property of American citizens.
Korean was accidentally and unavoldably
killed. Thereupon a mob of natives at
tackled and partially destroyed the car. The
operators of the car would have been in
jured had 1t not been for the presence OF
mind and action of our guard, and serious
riot would have occurred"
Although there have been previous re-
ports of disturbances in Korea, this is the
first mob attack made thus far on property
of Americans. The railroad is owned and
operated by Americans. II. r. Bostwick of
San Francisco, and III. c. Colbran, being
its principal owners. 1t runs through the
heart of Seoul, the Korean capital.
The guard which made the rescue went
from the American legation. 1t consists
OF 100 marines, who were sent there some
time ago to be on hand for the protection
of Americans and their property. Rein
forcement of this guard has been urged
and could be made in weeks time by de-
tails OF marines from the Philippines. but
nothing has been decided on this point.
Conditions in Korea are recognized to be
critical, and the State Department is keep
ing in close touch with the situation. No
fresh Instructions have been sent as vet
as a result of to-days mob attack.
The Korean legation has received no adj
vices concerning the matter. The Korean
government has notified its legation here
that il has issued a formal declaration of
neutrality between Russia and Japan in
the event OF war, and Minister Min Hui
Che has formally advised the State De-
partment of this action.
