PERMANENT NAVAL DISPLAY AT
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.
(By George F. Viett)

(By George F. Viett)
Norfork, Va.-While not in so ire
mendous a scale as in the opening
weeks the naval display at Jamestown
will nevertheless be maintained in an
adequate manner throughout the entire
period of the Exposition.
The United States government has
assigned three ships to duty right off
the great pier during the seven months
and these will be contanstly open to the
inspection of visitors. Considering
that the most popular exhibit at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago was an imita-
ton battle-ship built on piles in the
lake, the reality of the jamestown
squadron will be of the greatest inter-
est to strangers from the interior But
this is by no means the limit of naval
representation, the harbor of Hampton
Roads. being a naval rendezvous, is
seldom without several war vessels
lying at anchor, and the ships of the
United States navy are constantly ar
irving and leaving the harbor. The
Navy Yard at Portsmouth, and the
great ship building plant at Newport
News, are generally crowded with war
craft under construction and undergo
ing repairs, so that no visitors need
leave the section without having his
curiosity fully satisfied concerning naval
matters.
Some of the foreign fleets will not ar
rive until later in the summer, and an
effort will be made to have this govern
ment extend further invitation to the
different naval powers to make Hamp
ton Roads stopping place f their
individual cruising vessels during the
period of the Exposition This is a
frequent occurrence in ordinary times
and with proper representations to the
different governments could be made a
feature.
This to correct the impression that
the dispersal of the presen fleet signi-
fies the ending of the naval display.
At no time during the entire period of
the jamestown Exposition will there be
less than twenty-five war ships on the
nearby waters for the instruction and
entertainment of visitors.

POPULIST CALL
NATL CONVENTION

JOLIET, ILL, Dec Special
Chairman James II. Ferriss, of the
Populist National Committee, has is
sued a call for a Populist national
convention, to be held in st. Louis
April 2, 1908, to nominate a candidate
for President.
The basis of representation will be
two delegates for each congressional
district and four delegates t-large
for each State and Territory, besides
one delegate-at-large for each 1000
votes, or majority fraction thereof,
cast for the Peoples party national
ticket in 1904.
The call says:
Hope cannot be placed in the
promises of either of the two old par
ties. Both have entangling alliances
with the enemies of the Government
and cannot make substantial progress
for reform in this generation. Thus,
an independent party, free from pre-
datory affiliations, becomes necessary
if the power of monopoly and priyil-
ege is to be taken from the banks and
stock jobbers, if the rule of the peo-
pie is to be restored in our time. The
Peoples party opposes any system
permitting any class of citizens to
paralyze the industries and bankrupt
the Industrious millions. To this end
the convention has been called

Bernhard Nobel, in a will which he
made in 1895 The inventors fortune
of 100000 was devoted to capital
izing the prizes, and the administra-
ton of the foundation and awards of
prizes are in the hands of the Swed-
ish learned academies and, for the
peace prize, a committee of the Nor

Recently Mr. Davis gave his daugh-

Mrs. Arthur Lee, 100000 each as a
sort of advance peace offering for the
step it is declared he is about to

the news reached his children.

visitor at the Davis, Elkins and Lee
