Crystal Palace next spring. and from

death OF King Edward. Despite great
financial loss, the promoters stuck to-
gether and not only kept the original
plans intact. but greatly w.dened their
scope. The government has given its
recognition and patronage. This. even
though 1t does not imply financial aid, IS
a valuable assistance and is rarely
granted.

and the Earl of Crewe have become vice
presidents. while among others who have
accepted that title are the Viceroy Of
India. the governor generals of Canada
and Australia. the governor of New

the sports committee FOR holding an i'm
perial meeting This has the support Of
athletic clubs in England. and contest
ants from all over the British Empire
are expected.

dency OF the Duke OF Norfolk, has ar
ranged a varied series OF entertainments
and receptions for visitors from over
seas. The weekly concert viii take place

ingredient has its proper effect.
This compound IS now made up in the

Harry Vanderbilt Obtained Nearly
100000 to Pay for the Campaign
by Personal Appeals to
Wealthy Men In the East.

AS a remarkable instance Of how
1t is possible for a man to accomplish
q work regarded at the time as OF
supreme Importance and still remain
In comparative obscurity, the case
of Harry Vanderbilt, a nephew OF
Commodore Vanderbilt, who died re-
Gently in New York city at a green
old age after making a fortune for
himself as a manufacturer, is OF es-
pecial interest. For this Vanderbilt,
on the authority of his lifelong friend,
b. j. Jayne, who earned a name and
a fortune for himself in the seven
ties by %uncovering a nest of great
customs frauds, should be accredited
with the honor of having made 1t pos
sible for Abraham Lincoln to secure
his reelection to the presidency In
1864.
For some years prior to the out
break of the Civil war" said Mr..
Jayne, who Is now almost eighty
years of age, Harry Vanderbilt held
q responsible position In he Ports
mouth New Hampshire) navy yard;
but when Salmon P. Chase became
Lincoln's first secretary Of the treas
ury, Mr.. Vanderbilt went to that de-
partment as appointment clerk, re-
manning there for more than ten
years, or until the middle Of Grants
administration. 1t was during Lin
coins first administration that Mr.
Vanderbilt's ability as a trusted po-
litical worker was discovered and
proved on several occasions by the
party chiefs.
at Is well known that, following
Iincoln's denomination, the party
leaders in charge of the campaign
greatly feared that Mr.. Lincoln would
fail of reelection OF account of the
inability of the national committee
to obtain funds sufficient to carry or
a thorough and aggressive campaign.
1t was at a very anxious period OF the
war. The drain on the resources OF
the nation had been e%xhausting and
no immediate relief was in sight.
Taxation had reached what appeared
to be the limit of safety and all de-
mands for money for political pur-
poses were met by s%ullenness or alb
solute refusal.
The national committee seemed to
be powerless to find a way out Of the
uncompromising situation. It's chair
man, Henry ]. Raymond, the distin-
guished newspaper editor, was not an
adept in the art of raising campaign
funds, and he had a profound distaste
for ordinary political methods Of get
ting money for campaign purposes.

predecessor in the national chairman

dred thousand dollars to conduct Lin

Uncle Sam Is to Test the Open Door

When the recent convention be-
tween Russia and Japan was sprung
on the world American diplomats ex
pressed little surprise. The govern
ment has believed from the first there
is a secret article in this convention
which has not been made public. 1t Is
felt the unpublished portion Is an
agreement on the part Of the two ma
lions to support each other in barring
other nations from the territory in
question. The United States intends
to force Russia's hand and determine
whether such a secret bargain exists.
The concession granted to the English
American syndicate was for the con-

road line. English capitalists were to
furnish the funds and the materials
were to be built In America.
There is one drawback to the situa-
ton from the standpoint Of this gov.
eminent. England for some unknown
reason, is weakening. Her enthusiasm
for the joint undertaking cooled per
ceptibly after Russia had entered an
objection. Diplomats seem to think 1t
quite likely that the United States Will
have to make the fight single-handed
to keep Manchuria open with equal op'
oortuuity to all nations.

Will Lead in War on the Opium Evil

means Of international agreements
through which opium producing coun-
tries will protect, by means OF gov
eminent supervision, ports where the
importation of the drug is prohibited
The first realization of the serious
ness of the opium traffic so far as the
United States is concerned came when
the government started to put the
Philippines in order. An attempt to
regulate the unlimited traffic there
called for the appointment of a com
mission. The commission in tracing
the many Americans engaged in the
opium trade found that the United
States, with. some 200, 900 American
users of smoking opium, to say moth
ing of the Chinese users here, pre-
scented almost as serious a question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led b
fight among the powers against the
drug.
About a year ago a law absolutely
prohibiting the importation into this
country Of opium for any except medi-
cinal purposes was passed. But there
are now about 150, 900 Americans using,
the drug, and In spite of the prohibt
tory statute about $4,000 pounds OF
smoking opium is struggled into this
country annually.
