Great Fair Ready.

Seattle, May 2S.-Four days hence,

of guns and such a fanfare of noise
and gayety as no Pacific coast city
has ever known before, the gates of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Although
there remain a few finishing touches
to be added, the greatest of far west
ern expositions is. today practically
ready for President Taft to press the
golden key that will flash across the
continent the signal for the opening
of the big show. With all the myriad
wheels running smoothly, the mana
gers are heaving a great sign OF relief
at having done what has never been
accomplished before-the completion
of al international exposition before
the date set for the opening.
1t has been remarked that all ex-
positions since the great Paris and
Chicago shows have merely done ov-
er again what had been done before.
The MISUNDERSTANDING exposition
at Seattle is going to be different. 1t
is not going to be an exhibit of the
known, but of the unknown.
The railroads expect to carry 2,000,-
900 people to Seattle this summer.
They will see the most novel and
what Charles Dana Gibson has pro
nounced the most be477ti ful exposition
ever planned.

vented the augmentation OF the insur-
gent ranks by III fxrge Mohammedan
population of the Stands.
The Mohammedans of the Philip
pines recognize the sultan Of Turkeyas
the head of their church. Mr.. Straus,
who at hat time was the American
minister to Turkey, knowing this, call
ed on the late sultan. Abdul Hamid H.,
as soon as he heard of b outbreak of
the instruction. IT come" he said.
Ito beg your imperial majesty to use
your good Offices to bring III Moham-
medans OF the south Philippine Islands
-Mindanao and the Zulu archipelago
to our side and to restrain them from
joining h insurgents"
But" said the sultan, won't your
country try to take their religion away
from these people"
"Certainly o The cornerstone Of
the whole system OF government In the
United States is religious freedom, and,
30 far from there being any hostility
to the Mohammedan religion, h case
Is exactly the reverse. As an evidence
OF the recognition Of this by NOLAN
medan powers I beg to call your maj
esty's attention to the terms of a treaty
| negotiated more than 100 years ago in
the administration Of u first presi-
dent with the hey Of Tripoli."
Thereupon MI. Stratus produced a
| copy Of this ancient treaty, the very
existence of which is probably not
known by a hundred persons in the
! United States, much less the ctrcum-
stances leading up to its negotiation.
The Barbary powers had always de
clined to enter into any treaty with
b European governments because of
| the fact that under them the church
and state were united, and a recog-
milton of the government would have
involved a recognition OF b Christian
| church al an Institution. When the
| envoy OF President Washington pro-
posed the treaty which vas afterward
agreed to, the government of Tripoli
declined to consider 1t. The envoy
thefeupon pointed out that, in the new
| government across the ocean, there
was no recognition of any church. and
a special article was inserted In the
| treaty to that effect. On this basis
the treaty was agreed to.
AS soon as Mr.. Straus had finished
reading this clause Of the understand
ing between President Washington
and the hey of Tripoli the sultan de-
| clared himself perfectly satisfied and
ready to do what he could with the
Mohammedans in the Philippines. He
telegraphed to one Of the Philippine
leaders who happened to be in Mecca,
and as a esult~that -dignitary left at
once for the scene OF trouble. Here
he aid the sultan's advice before the
other leaders. and the Moha mmedans
