BANQUET OF LAYMEN

The layman's missionary movement
banquet at the Young Mems Christian
Association gymnasium tomorrow eve
ming promises to fulfill every expecta-
ton and be one of the largest and
most generally attended banquets ever
held in this city. Over two hundred
and fifty tickets were disposed of at
noon today and it was expected that
the number would reach three hundred
or more by tonight, when final reports
will be made by al those who have
charge of the matter. The banquet
will begin promptly at $50 O'Clock.
In addition to toasts by the visiting
speakers, it is probable that Sylvester

will call for informal responses by To-
cal workers.

gram committee announced the pro-
gram for the banquet to be as follows:

wish to see for themselves the great
est engineering work of the world. this
is an important matter. Add to the
expense and time necessary to reach
San Francisco from the Mississippi
valley and the east where the major
ity OF the population is, the expense
and time of making the trip to the
canal, and only very few of the ex-
position visitors could avail themselves
of the opportunity of seeing the canal
and this educational feature would be
practically lost
Taken as a whole the people of the
United States apparently care very lit

to contribute literally to the exposi-
ton. but they will doubtless make
themselves heard If the exposition is
located at a point that would entail
the expenditure of more time and mon-
ey than they wish to expend person.
ally.
There is also good reason to believe
that foreign visitors and exhibitors
whom the exposition is especially cal
culated to attract would find them
selves hampered by the long journey
across the continent and back, and
there would undoubtedly be more for
eigners at New Orleans than at San
Francisco. 1t is early to predict what
congress will do in the matter, but it
seems now that New Orleans will be
selected. The only thing in it's way
is that the administration has nothing
to gain politically by locating the ex-
position at New Orleans, and it might
not be benefited by locating it at San
Francisco. a consideration which is
not likely to carry weight in such mat
ter. In any event the New Orleans
| boomers made a most favorable i'm
preston. They were as fine and sub
stantial body of men as ever invaded
the capital for similar purpose. and
| included the entire legislature, state
officials, city officials. and business men
of Louisiana, and the mayors of other
cities in the south. That the south is
in earnest was amply evidenced by the
presence of these men and the fact
| that the legislature has voted special
tax by constitutional amendment that
will net S4,OOO,OOO while several mil
lions additional will be raised by pri-
vate contribution, S1,250OU having
already been subscribed. New Or

something more toward this celebra
ton and the indications point to hearty
cooperation on the part of the general
government.
