 Continuing Lord Selborn said the gov ernment was taking steps to increase the supply of natives and would give the mining industries every assistance. The disposition of the new government of the Transvaal to exclude all Asiatics from work in the mines is shown by the fact that the Asiatic ordinance, re- gently disallowed by the Earl of El- gin, secretary of state for the colonies, after 1t had passed the late legislature, is again published In the official Ga- zette here indicating that among the first acts os the new parliament will be a re-enactment of this measure in spite of the opposition of the imperial government

 Tn the last bill, both Demopolis and Troy were allowed $5,o00 for site. and the next Congress after the sites propriations for commencing the build ings.
 Another drawback at the office of the Supervising Architect is that @ large section of the most competent men have been busy with the Government buildings at the Jamestown Exposition, which is expected to throw open Its gates on or about April 2sth.
 At the exposition the Government will have buildings which will cost s350, 900. Then there is a monument which will cost s5o.0oo. The force necessary to preserve order in the grounds will have a structure that will cost s10,o00. These are all near ing completion, and Architect Taylor is positive they will be In good shape at the opening time.
 The sum of $100,oo0 was also voted by Congress to aid the Negro Develop ment Association. but this work is not being done by the Government off, cials It has been left entirely to the negro organizations, commission having been appropriated to that end. At one time 1t looked as If the negro organizations would have a serious falling out among themselves, as con- siderable squabbling went on as to whether this or that man should be the king bee" in the hive.

 In addition to the buildiDsss the Cow ernment will have at Jamestown, there is 6 fund of about $200,000 for the en- tertainment of the army and navy rep resentatives from foreign nations. which are counted upon to send ships to the exposition.

ZELAYA's ATTITUDE.
President of Nicaragua Was Willing T,
 Arbitrate.

President of Nicaragua Was Willing Te
 Arbitrate.
 New Orleans. March 21--President Zelaya of Nicaragua Is quoted as &C., ceding to request to President Roose- welt for arbitration of the war troubles in Central America in 8 letter received here last night from Bluefelds, Nlcar- agua.
 The statement of Zeiaya is said to have been printed in Bluefelds along with President Roosevelts appeal for peace. which is dated in February, and is as follows.
 To His Excellency, the President of
 Nicaragua, Managuaa.
 Tt Is with profound regret that I have received the news that the court of arbitration between Nicaragua and Honduras, which met in El Salvador. has been dissolved, owing to the fact that the court believed that one of the two parties concerned has not discon- tinued its preparations for war during the arbitration.
 Allow me to state to your excelien- cy that the United States hopes that this deplorable happening may be the result of some error which might cas- fly be recognized or another appointed which may act in accordance with reg ulations well understood and faithfully carried out by both parties to this con- troversy, so that peace, with all of its benefits, may be maintained, not only in Nicaragua and Honduras, but in all of the Central American States.
 The cause of humanity, the advan- tages of pacific relations, by means of which the prosperity of each separate republic contributes to the prosperity of all. and the friendship that we all profess for the two countries involved in this aifiiculty induce us. while ex- pressing our respect and esteem, to ve- hemently urge your exceltency to fol- low this procedure.
 T am sure that the governments of Mexico. Guatemala, Fl Salvador and Costa Rica will agree with me in this am addressing a similar telegram to the President of Honduras.
 "Theodore Roosevelt" President zeiayas closes his reply saying: T therefore accept your friend ly offices, being disposed to have the question settled by arbitration on the basis mentioned. beg to state to you that the sentiment of the Nicaraguan people is the same as that of the Amer lean people when the steamship Maine was blown up."

Also Aimed at Japs .

London, March 21.--The "Asiatic ordinance" which the TransvaaI par liament proposed, to re-enact, although at the present aimed especially at British Indians who are busting the small white traders in the Transvaal. is equally intended to exclude the Jap- anese or other Asiatics who are immi- grating to South Africa in increasing numbers.
 Sir Gilbert Parker, conservative member of parliament for Gravesend, who represents the colonists in the House of Commons on this question, is quoted today in an interview as saying:
 If, as am sure it will. the Trans vaal parliament re-enacts the 'Asiat- ic ordinance' the imperial government will hardly venture to disallow it again, and over ninety-nfne per cent. of the whites in South Africa thor oughly approve of it.

Pace-KIins Recital Company Fat High
 School.

The fifth entertainment in the se- ries given by the Lyceum course in the auditorium of the Girls High School last night, proved one of the most pleasing in the popular course.
 The entertainment was styled An Evening of Song and Story ana the three young ladies composing the Pace Kling Recital Company who furnished the various number on the program, made warm friends for themselves in Montgomery.
 Miss Florence Marion Pace is a young woman whose charming personality and splendid soprano voice, tempt one to become enthusiastic. Her wide range. wonderful breath control, distinct anunciatton and musical fervor. carry any discriminating audience before her. She had to respond to a double en- core.
 Miss Jsannette Kling is a reader of enthusiastically ability. Her selections were varied and displayed talent well trained and capable. One of her bese numbers, perhaps, was the bright. orig final introduction she gave, before the program opened, explaining that on &C., count of their trunks missing connec- ton at New Orleans. they were com pelled to appear befoer teh audience in travelling gowns. She assured them. however, that they had some beautiful dresses--in their trunks.
 Miss Marie Evans, the pianist, com pletes the trio of entertainers. Her ability as an accompanist was unusual,

Dsrrft Ashton in "East Lynne"
 Miss Dorrit Ashton as Lady Isabel in East Lynne" is fine. Otherwise the revival of this widely known emo- tiona1 drama at the Bijou Theatre last night was not strongly cast
 Miss Ashton created favorable im- pressicn on her audience and, without her. the performance of the heart wringing play would have been flat. wherever there was opportunity to bring out her part and strengthen the play: she took advantage of the op- portunity.
 Among the best in Miss Ashton 8 support was Ethel wynne, who played the character of Cornelia Carlyle. the prudish person, and John Cough, the youngster, who is cast as Little Wif- lie, son of Lady Isabel.
 Cast as Lord Mount Severn is Conner Breedlove, Montgomery young man, who recently took to the stage Tbe part which MT. Breediove had was that of an elderly man. and he made up well as the character. He left Mont gomery a few years ago to go to South Africa. 9e
 East Lynne will be played again at the Bijou Theatre tonight.

Widows Pensions.

Frances P. Gibbs, Roxbury, Mass.
wishes to add a word to Mrs. Elizabeth
knights plea for an increase in the
pension of soldiers widows. All over
the land comfortable Homes are pro-
vided for the veteran, in which ne can
spend his declining years and be kindly
cared for, which is a deserving recon-
pense for the work he did in the past
years. But bow about his widow, or. it
may be, his wife, whom he has been
obliged to leave to enter the Home?
She can get no aid during his lifetime.
whatever her need, except from the
town where she resides, and if she is
the widow and past 60 years of age
can she support herself decently. even
without comforts, on her SIS per month
pension? She generally has no home,
and is obliged to shift about from place
to place, trying, at that age. not to be
a burden and nuisance on relatives who
usually have no use for poor relations.
Mrs. Gibbss case Is very hard. She has
no home and mas an invalid son who is
unable to support himself. She must
submit to having him cared for in the
poorhOuse. While there is much done
for the poor. there is much left undone
If the women of the Relief Corps would
look to their own towns for needy ones
to help without craving the honor of
doing so much for the Soldiers Homes,
they would be living up better 10 the
