 St. Louis. May a--Ifvery day, finds a great growth in the installation of ex- hibits at the Worlds Fair. Every building teens with wofkmen and all are working to the extent of their energies.
 Secretary W. E. Stevens tonight made the following statement:
 Instead of havins places for more saiaried employees the various depart ments of the exposition are now every day rapidly reducing the number here tofore employed and now very soon hun dreds will have been laid of. A false notion that there are stih vacancies to be filled in the service Of the exposition is bringing many young folk from a distance to be disappointed in their hope of enjoying the exposition on q free bass an da comfortable salary"
 A special feature in the palace of agri- culture is the extensive exhibit of to- bacco. The space occupied by the dif- ferent tobacco exhibits from various States will total about 10000 square feet. Various eolors of the weed, from the black perique of Louisiana to the bright lemon tint of North Carolina are used in the general decoration scheme. The en- complete displays Of American tobacco ever shown at any exposition.
 Another interesting feature of the agri- culture building is the corn exhibit obeiisixs formed from ears of corn, are located in various parts of this section. standing thirty feet above the floor.
 The collection of paintings by native Filipino artists in the art gallery of the administering building of the Philippine government exhibit Is attracting more than ordinary interest. Most of the canvasses are excellent specimens of art. One represents the scene of the death of General Lawton and according to the soldiers who were present at that tin,o Is a remarkably exact representation.

The Russian Govern ment appears to appreciate the situa- ton. and Paul Lessar. the Russian Minister at Pekin, is making daily re- ports to the Foreign Office. The re- port received from the Minister today contained nothing disquieting.
 The Pekin Government. according to perfect good faith. ,and insists that it It is turning deaf ear to the appeals of the anti Russian leaders who want China to throw her lot with Japan, and is doing all possible to suppress anti foreign agitation among the people.
 Nevertheless, the Russian authorities regard China as a powder magazine. They realize the danger inherent in the situation, and the necessity for con- stant pressure on the Pekin Govern ment.
 The danger of an anti-foreign move. ment throughout the Chinese Empire exists not only for Russia. but for all the powers, and Russia has at least three times since the outbreak of the war addressed the powers on the sub Ject. the last time being less than ten days ago. The answers received uni formly show full appreciation of the need of exercising a restraining infiu- ence on Pekin and all the powers are cooperating to this end.
