THE ST. LOUIS
EXHIBIT
AWARDS THAT HAVE BEEN
GIVEN AT THE EXPOSITION.
PRIZES TO THE STATE
Great State of Mississippi Has Got
ten Two Grand Prizes and. Many
Medals at the Great Exposition in
Saint Louis.

State Commissioner r. HI. Henry
gives out the following in regard to
the Mississippi exhibit at ST. Louis.
Notwithstanding the lateness of the
season and the chilly weather here
the attendance upon the World s Fair
continues large, aggregating about one
million people per week, and the tide
from Mississippi and the other south
ern states is undated. The large at
tendance from the south, in view of
the fact that active business has be-
gun IN that section, is most gratifying
to the exposition management While
the weather is cool, it is clear, crisp
and bracing, no rain having fallen
here for several weeks.
AS a rule St. Louis weather in No
vember is ideal, the days being all
that could be desired. | would, how
ever, advise the readers of this letter
who have not attended the fair and
who intend doing so to come on, as
there is no guarantee as to weather
conditions, for there is no place more
disagreeable during a rainy season
than an exposition.
The register Of = the Mississippi
building shows large arrivals from
that state every day, and as the state
bureau has ordered the early closing
of Beauvoir, Mississippi people who
desire to see the replica of the last
home of the patriot-soldier and south
ern idol, should come on at once.
The Mississippi exhibits are still
intact, as are the exhibits Of all the
states, and now that Mississippi has
taken so many prizes, they will prove
more interesting to our people than
ever before. Each day, however, caus-
es decoration, as the exhibits are ac-
cumulating dust and becoming "shop
worn," but they are still attractive
and will prove interesting and quite
a revelation to people that have labor
ed under the impression that Missis-
sippi is one-crop state, as they show
quantity, quality and variety, every
thing in fact that our soil is capable
Of producing, a variety Of products
the equal of any state in the union.
While it is true that cotton is Mis-
sissippi's staple money crop, the fol-
lowing copy of placards posted at our
leading exhibits will show the extent
and value Of our different products.

Such information as the state de-
partment has received from it's agents
in Europe tends to confirm the belief
that the North Sea incident will be
submitted to commission represent
ing both governments with a neutral
umpire. It is not believed that this
commission, in the event that it found
that there was no reasonable basis for
such apprehension on the part of the
Russian commanders as would war
rant them in firing into the British
fishing fleet, would undertake to pre-
scribe punishments for the officers
at fault. It would rather simply point
out their laches, leaving it to the Rus
sian government to deal with them.

The United States government owns
about 200 lots in various sections Of
the city of Hot Springs, Ark, which
are to be offered for sale at public
auction next spring. The lots are part
Of the government reservation which
have been cut off or become isolated
by sales here and there or by improve
ments. The people Of Hot Springs are
very anxious that the lots be sold,
since the government is not improv-
ing them, and the Secretary of the
Interior has no disposition to have the
government appear in the attitude Of
obstructing municipal improvements,
which would be the case were the lots
retained and not improved. He had
intended holding sale early in Dec
ember and for that purpose a reap
praisement Of the lots was ordered
some time ago. It was found, howev-
er, that the property must be adj
vertised for three months prior to the
sale, so that it will probably be March
or April before they are placed on
the market.

Mississippi's Medals.

AS much has been written and print
ed regarding the prizes awarded to the
Mississippi exhibits at the exposi-
ton, and as all of the people Of our
state are proud of the showing she has
made here, Notwithstanding some I'M
favorable and ill-concealed criticism,
and as no full list Of these awards
has heretofore been printed, the state
commissioner is pleased to submit
them to the public, as officially re-
ported to him by the chiefs Of the va
rious exposition palaces.
1t is known that Mississippi has
received two grand prizes on her lead
ing products, cotton and timber, be-
ing the higher recognition that can be
given to any country, state, product
or exhibit, and others in forestry,
transportation and machinery; while
there is no doubt that the state will
take some valuable prizes in the hor-
ticulture building when the jurymakes
its final report, which will not be given
to the public until after the fall fruits
are received and examined.
The following is the list Of prizes
awarded to Mississippi, as officially
reported:
AGRICULTURE.
Grand Prize-To the state Of Mis-
sissippi on the best exhibit Of cotton.
Gold Medal-To the state Of Mis-
sissippi on collective agricultural ex-
hibit.
Gold Medal-To the state Of Mis-
sissippi on canned goods, grains and
grasses.

A movement has been started by
the big milling interests Of the North
and Northwest looking to the removal
OF the duty of 25 cents on wheat. IF
the duty were abolished the miIlers
would import wheat more largely from
Canada, and after meeting the de-
mands at home, would have more
-four to export. At present a large
amount of wheat is brought from
Canada to be ground in American
mills, subject to rebate in the duty
if the -four is returned to the neigh
boring country, or is exported to 9TH
er foreign countries. The Canadian
wheat is harder than domestic wheat,
and the millers are in the habit Of
mixing the two varieties Of flour. But
in doing this the identity Of the Cana
dan -four is lost, and thus no rebate
is secured when the same is exported.
The present short crop of wheat, being
the shortest in many years, has given
the millers considerable force to their
argument, but, nevertheless, they will
be strongly resisted by the farmers
unless trade is made with them, and
this would open the way for general
tariff revision. Representative Bah
cock, of Wisconsin, has been contend
ing for three or four years that the
steel schedule Of the Dingley Bill
should be revised, and several con-
gressmen are ready to step forward
with demands for changes in a great
many other schedules, including lum-
Der. An attempt, therefore, to lower
or abolish the duty on wheat, if made
this winter, would provoke such de-
bate that no other legislation would
be accomplished, and very probably

pose Of aiding discharged criminals,
the society, with the aid of influential
men, soon spread throughout the ma
ti0n. IN addition to its great work of

reforms. Dr.. Fredenhagen, who is the
general superintendent of the society,
is here for the purpose of helping to
organize a California branch.
In the course Of his remarks yester-
day afternoon. the doctor dwelt on the
fact that the criminals were mostly
young men found among the homeless
and friendless. He said that the GRIM
inal was the result of two things
heredity and environment-and that all
should bear in mind that the hearts
beating beneath the stripes were hu-
man. He advocated the changing of
the workshops Of prisons into class
rooms for the instruction of the GRIM
inals. and closed with an appeal to the
