Passenger rates have not yet been agreed upon , but It Is the opinion of the giticral passenger agents of this city that all railroads will grant n one-faro rate for the round trip to Omaha from Juno 1 to November next yoar. Freight rates on mcst lilies have already been dnclared. These rates for the trans- portatlon of gojds to be cxnlblted at the ex position are uniformly the same rates that were granted to the World's fair at Chicago. They have been agreed upon by the rallrcado In various parts of Iho country , and an nounced after meetings of lines composing various traffic associations. All lines In thle fcctlon of the country agreed to tbo one-fore rote some time ago , as was announced through the medium of the Transmlssourl 1-Velght Hate commlttno. The latest assxta lion to fall In Hoc Is the Southeastern Freight association , comprising the most tmportanl lines cast of the Mississippi river and south of the Ohio. At the sixth session of the ex- ccutlvo board of this association , held at Atlanta , Ga. , on November 30 , S. F. Parrott , presiding , the following resolution was adcoteJ : On property to bo exhibited nt the Trans- mlsslsslppl and International Exposition In be held at Omiilm.

Visitors to the buildings on the Exposition grounds are running considerable rink lei wandering carelessly through the structures upon which work Is bain ? done on the upper stories or the roof. Yesterday a stranger was walking under one of the galleries In the Liberal Arls building when a heavy piece of timber was accidentally dropped down. The beam missed lite head by only a few Inches. If ho had been Htruck he would have been Instantly killed. The warning has been suf ficient and In the future no one who has no business there will be allowed to go through the structure until It la completed. In this building also one of the , workmen , Andrew Wyman , y cat onlay sustained a painful but not not serious injury. In lifting a heavy pleco of timber ho let It drop upon his thumb. The member was crushed , but It Js believed that amputation is not necessary. The wound was sufficient to Incapacitate the man from work. The Liberal Aria building , although It was begun late , promises1 to bo sooner completed than other buildings which were begun earlier. The roof trusses have all lcen com pleted ami the workmen who have been em ployed < KU them were discharged yesterday afternoon. The first of the pieces will bo hoisted today. As-soon as several are In place the work of putting on the roofing will bo begun. The Manufacliires building Is likely to bo completed In a short tlmo now. Almost all the staff is on , even to the ornamentations. The translucent skylight Is almost finished. Yesterday the Ihthcrs completed their work on the Interior and this mornlag the plastering will bo finished. Next to this structure the Administration arch Is nearest completion. Thcro is still some outside staff to bo put on thla building , but the workmen nro placing the ornamental pieces In the In terior. The Mines and Mining building Is also uuuui nuuy jur us wane coat , ootn inside nnd outEldo. The lathing wan begun this morning , and following on the heels of this the stiff Is being put In place. On the Inside enough lathing has been put on to allow the plasterers to got to work. The roof on this structure Is about completed , the flnnl work "being done on the skylight. A number of roof girders have been put In place on the Machinery building and the roofing Is being commenced , The same Is the case in the Agricultural building. On the former also the stiff contractors have commenced to put In place the staff. The walls of the Government building will Boon bo commenced. The piling Is about completed , and the wall girders are being erected. All the timber for this structure , some fifteen carloads , has arrived In the city and eight of them are being unloaded on the grounds. tiOVlSH.XMli.NT'S PI.AXS. Illar.

All Indications point toward the most ei- tcnslvo and the most superior ex hibit of Mexican products at the Transmlealsslppl and International ex position that the neighbor republic lias over made In the United States. This Is the tone of a letter received at exposition headquarters from J. D. Powell , who Is lookIng - Ing after the Interests of the exposition In Mexico. In his letter ho toys that hols meeting with great success In obtaining exhibits , that ho lias just seen President Diaz , who assures him that each state In the Hcpubllc of Mexico ice \vould bo creditably represented at the exposition. Mr. Powell's brother , Dr. W.

Mr. I'owoll suggests that this exhibit might bo secured for Omaha permanently , after the close of the exposition hero , as the majority of Mexican manufacturers , merchants and government officials feel that their Interests are more closely allied with the trnnamlssls. slppl section of the United States than , with the portion of the country along the Atlantic sc-aboard , An Interesting feature of Mexico's part In the Trnnsmlsslsslppl Exposition will bo the piesence of a numerous Mexican brass band , Mr. I'owoll writes that this band 1ms ordered n ; w uniforms , now Instruments and Is re hearsing new music for the trip to Omaha next year. vuimn.ss TO AVUSTICIIN TIJACHKHS.

Within the next day or two SuperlntosOent eareo ot the public schools will seed out several hundred circular letters to the prln- Ipal educators of the tratismlsslFfitppl slates presenting the Idea of holding an cduca- lonal congress In connection with the expo- sltlon and asking their co-opcratloni In the enterprise. The circular Is United by the executive commlttco that was appointed some days ago and 'briefly outlines the plan so far eta U has been formulated. It contends that this eeems to be a great opportunity for the tens of thousands 'of : eachers who live In theeMtca w.cst of the Mississippi ixnd wl h to attend the cxpcel- tlon. Many of them are unable to attend the meetings of the National Educational association and the proposed pla would give them the same benefits that they would enjoy by that attendance , together with the opportunHr to see the exposi tion. tion.The general plan of the program Is brlclly outlined. It will bo ssmewhat similar to ilioso followed by the National Educational association and the general meetings will bo addressed by the best educational speakers. Section meetings are Included for the purpose of pursuing particular lines ot educational work and these wilt be addressed by experts in that particular line of work. It Is suggested that tbe congress Is not In any way antagonistic to tnc Xntlonnl Educa tional association , and some Information Is afforded In icgard to the o tcrtiltnent ( f the visitors and the very low railroad rates that will be secured. A paragraph Is also devoted to the gefornl scope of the exposition' and It U suggested thht the latter part of June would probably be a satisfactory date for the congress. These addressed nro requested to transmit their views on the subject to the committee , which consists of Oeorgo E. Mae- Lean , chancellor University of Nebraska ; Joseph 'E.

Cnmiiilttcci Named liy AnstM'Intlon TalceH Formal Shapr , The Transmleslsslppl and International Exposition seems to have taken a flrmor hold on the business men of St. Louis than any exposition In recent years. The interest 'shown by the merchants and the manufac turers there Is all the more noteworthy because - cause of their non-participation In the Ten nessee centennial and their recent labors for their own St. Louis exposition. The committee of merchants and manu facturers appointed at the recent open meetIng - Ing called by the St. Louis manufacturers to provide for St. .Louts exhibits at the expo sition held Its first business me'etlnpr in St. Louis on Tuesday cvenljig. One of the first things done was to chaigo the name of the new organization to that of the St. Louis commission for the TransmtsslESlppl 'Expo ' sition at Omiha. This change was ( sug gested by Chairman C. H. Sampson and adopted through a motion offered by L. I ) , Klngsland. The suggestion of the election of a permanent secretary of the commission resulted In the selection of F. II. Sterrltt. A buslnesB-llkc discussion of the best plan of proceeding resulted In the acceptance by the commission of the Invitation from Pres ident Wattles of the Omaha exposition to visit Omaha and to Inform themselves of the exact conditions there , In order that they may bo able to give all necessary Informa tion from their personal knowledge to St. Louis exhibitors. The commission then ar ranged for Its detailed work by providing for ways and means and other Important committees to bo appointed by the chairman. Among those present were C. P. Walbrldge , W. H. Moore , L. O , Branch , H. R. Todd , E. S , Lewis , T. A. Mysenburg , E. D. Tilton , lieu Althclmer , Goodman King , E. Michael and Norrls Gregg. Woman' * * Itonril CoinmlttocH.

In an Intervlsw with a representative of The Dec Mr. Hoshl admitted that the object of his mission to Japan was > to ascertain the vlows of his government on the proposed an nexation of Hawaii and to procure Instruc tions from the mikado relative to the course ho was expected to pursue In case the treaty shall bo ratlflsd by congress. "Tho Impres sion has gone out to the American press , " said Mr. Hoshl , "that we propose to recall the protest entered by Japan against the acquisition of the Sandwich Islands by tht United States government. This Is misleadIng - Ing and untrue. Japan has always main tained amicable relations with the United States and it Is not our purpose now to take any steps that would lead to a broach of inu- ttial gooi will , but at the same tlmo Japan will stand ( Irmly In the maintenance of KB rights and privileges acquired under treaty with the Hawaiian government. If the United States decldcn to annex Haivall wo hope to be able to enforce our demands for Indemnity for the violation of treaty rights I In the expulsion o. ' Japanese Immigrants from the Island and tholr exclusion from the rights acquired tinder our treaty , " Concerning President McKlnley's message , and particularly as referring to the relations of Japan and the United States in connection with the proposad annexation of Hawaii , Mr. Hoshl declined to express any views be yond rEltoratlng what he stated at the out set , that there would bo no disposition on the part of Japan to resist the acquisition of Hawaii by the .United States , but that he hoped to be able , through diplomatic nfgo- tlatlons , to bring about n peaceable solution of the matters In controversy. Minister Hoshl said that clthough he had taken this trip to Japan and back In two months , ho was not foiling at all tired from the effects of the- hurried journey. When Interviewed on the Atlantic oxprcfB of the Union Pacific-Northwestern railroads he ap peared bright and entertaining. Ho will go at once to Washington and resume the work of looking after the interests of Japan In the United States , where Tie left oft two months ago. _ A CiiPPFfi'liiIt. In Harden Bros.

Thcae two classes have become separated so that the association now con ducts aiv old ladles' homo and a child's horn. . ? , nnd other organizations have under taken slmllnrwork. .
