SEATTLE EXPOSITION
RAPIDLY NtARS
COMPLETION
Greater Progress Has Been
Made on 1t Than Any SINH
lar Show Yet Held
MANY STATES PLAN
TO TAKE PART IN 1T

Seattle. WASH, Aus. z7.-The Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition, which is
to be held at Seattle, Wash, from
June l to October 16. 1903. has made
more rapid progress toward compile
ton than any other national exposi-
ton ever held in the United States.
on August l the management was
able to estimate conservatively that
the exposition was 65 per cent COM
plete in its physical work. Without
doubt the exposition will be complete
in every department on the day fixed
for the formal opening.
The exposition company is amply
supplied with funds for completing
its work. The capital stock of the
controlling corporation, fixed at
100000, has been fully subscribed
and paid in, and the several counties
of the state of Washington have con-
tributed in the way of direct aid over
100000 more. Many of the coun-
ties will erect buildings of their own,
which will, to a large extent, oe
pseudo exhibit buildings. The exposi-
ton will have ten large exhibit build
ings. These are: Manufactures, agri-
culture. mines, fisheries, fine arts.
machinery, transportation, oriental,
European and forestry.
The United States Congress has Of
f.cially recognized the exposition. ap-
propriating 100000 for a govern
ment exhibit and six buildings. The
government exhibit VIII be the finest
ever made by the government at any
exposition, except the exhibits at the
Chicago and st. Louis expositions.
Special attention will be given by the
government to exhibits from Alaska,
Hawaii and the Philippines and of
! Pacific ocean fisheries.
A large number of the states OF
the Union are making arrangements
for their participation. oregon made
an initial Appropriation of 100000
and will give $4,000 more at the
1909 session of its legislative assem-
, bly,. Oregon's building is nearly COM
plete. California has broken ground
/ for a large building in the old Span
/ ish mission style OF architecture. and
already finds that 1t will need more
money in addition to the 100000 ap-
preparation made by its legislature In
1907. Washington appropriated 81
600, 900 for its participation, and will
erect a NUMBER of buildings, among
them a state building which will be
the finest and most costly state build
ing ever seen at an exposition.

HEARST ASKS SOME !,
|MPER1INthT QUESTIONS

San Francisco, Aug. 27.--The let
ter which W. X. Hearst wrote to the
Iroquois Club of Chicago In answer to
the request for his resignation from
that select organization of Democrats
has been made public and in 1t
Hearst asks a number of questions
which the Democrats may have trou-
BILE in answering. He says In part:
You imply that l am not a Demo-
crat, and l strongly suspect that I am
not, according to Democratic stand
ards of today You imply further
that you are Democrats, and / cam
not help wondering what kind OF
Democrats you think you are. Are
you 1892 Democrats or 1896 Demo-
Gratis or 1900 Democrats or 1904
Democrats or are you 1908 Demo-
Gratis? Are you Cleveland Demo-
Gratis, believing in tariff reform that
we did not get and the suppression OF
labor unions, that We did get? Are
you Parker Democrats supporting the
trusts If they contribute and opposing
them if lhey don't? Are you Bryan
Democrats, believing in free silver
some times, and government owner
ship some times, and in the initiative
an referendum some times? IL you
are Bryan Democrats do you also be-
lieve in a Bryan platform that con-
tains none of these things?
Friends and ex-brothers OF the
Iroquois club, there is no Democratic
party. There is only a Bryan party
and the followers of that party don't
know when they go to bed at night
what they will be called upon to be-
lieve when they awake in the morn
ing.
"And so l received your communi-
cation with pleasure and gratitude.
and so / withdraw from your club
with pleasure and without the slight
est hard feeling. Good luck and God
| bless you, and may you be able to
keep up with your mule.'

ORDER IS WEAKER
IN EASTERN STATES
Contracts In Anthracite Fields
VIII Soon Expire, and Crisis Is
Predicted When Time Comes
for Renewal Radical Ele-
ment Is Anqered.

Indianapolis. Aug. 27.-Affairs in
the United Mine Workers of America,
which have for some weeks been
muddled. seem to be growing seri-
Gus. President Lewis, who succeeded
John Mitchell at the head of the or
ganization, is being openly defied in
a few districts and the national Of
ficers are issuing appeals for loyalty
and organizers are working night and
day, trying to increase the member
ship. especially in the anthracite re-
gions.
1t seems that in some instances
President Lewis has been the inno-
cent cause of the dissensions and his
friends give the following version:
John Mitchell was always known
as a conservative, and as such the So
cialists and many of the radicals with
no political affiliations fought him
bitterly. Mitchell stood their attacks
until his health gave way and then
Lewis was elected.
There seems no doubt that Lewis
got his plurality from the votes Of the
radicals. Former Secretary Wilson
was looked upon as a man of the
Mitchell type, while Lewis, who had
openly and honestly differed with
Mitchell. was looked upon as radical.
Therefore the Sociaiistic radical wing
of the organization supported Lewis
rather than Wilson.
But this clique, which Is constantly
growing larger within the largest la
Dor union In America, seems to have
misjudged its man. Lewis, so far from
being radical, Is conservative. and In
his treatment of his men and ac-
complishments bids fair to be as pop
ular as was Mitchell with the con-
servatives,
The contract with the anthracite
operators expires next April and at
this time the anthracite miners are
In no position to demand recognition
from the operators. Mitchell had the
| same trouble three years ago. The an
secure on account of their contract
and have allowed their membership
in the union to expire by not paying
their dues.
Between this weakness In the east
| and the radicals in the west. who are
stronger and more persistent thar
they ever were when Mitchell was al
| the head, Lewis is having his trouble:
AS a result, the union will pass
| through a crisis at the next annual
| convention, when IL Is understood the
Socialists will make a determined
| stand to gain control of the big or.
ganization as they have controlled
the Western Federation of Miners.

BRYAN TELLS TONIGHT
ABOUT GUARANTY DEPOSITS
Democracy's Hope Will Speak at To-
peka and Expects to Make
Big Hit.

Kansas City. Aug. 27.-Bryan and
party arrived in Kansas City from
ST. Louis this morning and left for
Topeka at 10:40. He will speak in
the Kansas capital tonight on Guar
anty of Bank Deposits.
In view of the Republican state
convention of Kansas endorsing
guaranty of bank deposits Bryan said
that it would be necessary for him
to make some additions to his speech
at Topeka tonight. Without outlining
the additional remarks on the sub
ject Bryan said:
The action of the Republican state
convention Of Kansas Is a rebuke 20
the Republican candidate for presi-
dent, who has been assailing the
guaranty depositors. Not only Is ne
opposed to the system as a national
system but the attorney general has
made a ruling which prevents ma
tional banks from taking advantage
of the state system. / am very glad
TO have the issue drawn so clearly.
The action Of the Republicans of KAN
sas makes 1t impossible for them to
oppose our plan, while the action OF
Taft and Bonaparte shuts off all hope
of favorable action by the Republi-
can party. Those who favor the guar
anty of bank deposits will therefore
find their only hope in Democratic
victory"

FLOODED CITIES ARE
RECOVERING FROM
THE DAMAGE
Water Is ReCeding From Aug
uSt and II is Expected That
No More Floods VIII
Follow.
MANY DESTITUTE
NEED ASSISTANCE
Families Lost Everything in the
Waters and Were Forced to
Abandon Their Household
GOOdS-.NsgrOes Suffer
More Than Whites.

Augusta. Aug. 27.-Augusta was
yesterday visited by one of the worst
Hoods in its history. Water from the
Savannah river and canal surged
through the city until a depth of six
to eight feet was reached in the ter
ritory bounded by 18th street on the
west to the extreme eastern boundary
of the city. So far as known three
persons were drowned.
The weather bureau issued food
warnings Tuesday saying that the
river would reach from S5 to 81 feet
by Wednesday night. The prediction
was exceeded by several feet, the
danger line being 33. The weather
bureau warning, however. enabled
those living In the lowlands to es-
cape before the food reached them.
There is a great deal of suffering
| among the poor classes of whites and
negroes who lived nearest the low
lands, and in many cases they lost
everything. The thousands of people
taken from their homes in boats and
wagons reported the boat and car
| riage owners charged exorbitant
prices to rescue these people. The
| Western Union offices were flooded
and the operators moved to the
| Chamber of Commerce building
where the wires were intact.
| At daybreak this morning the op.
ertors reported that the water had
| fallen four and one half inches dur
ing the night. At the Postal the OPP
orators remained On duty until the
water reached the top of their tables
They abandoned their office but later
| re-established communication over 6
| few wires. 1t is not possible to give
an estimate of the loss by flood but Il
is thought it will go well above the
| half million dollar mark.
