nry Agreement * with
the .MnniiKer * nnil Trltn of
Illi 1'lnni.
ttiat Oregon Is to be represented In a
creditable and extensive manner at ttio exposition -
position U assured beyond doubt. Henry K.
ot Portland , a member of the state
Ffltor recently appointed by the Gov
ernor , Is In Omaha with full plenipotentiary
powers and ho has decided that the state
must bo represented. After conferring with
the exposition authorities he has reserved
8.000 feet of space In the several buildings
Cor Orcgon'e exhibit.
Mr. Dasch will have full charge ot the
exhibit to bo made by hla state. He acted
In the samu capacity during the World's
fair and when he was appointed a member
of the Oregon commlfalon recently ho was
Kclected us a committee of one to come to
Omaha and determine whether the state
fihould make an exhibit or remain out en
tirely , llcloro do had boon In town twelve
hours Mr. Dosch decided that Oregon must
bo represented.
" \Vo will raise $20,000 for our exhibit , "
said Mr. Uorfcli positively. "I know whcro
this amount can bo obtained with very little
effort on the certificate plan , the money to
fce refunded by ithe legislature. 1 will re
turn homo as soon as 1 liuvo completed ar
rangements for our space and take up at
once the work of preparing for our display.
Wo will show minerals , lumber , agricultural
and horticultural products , Itsh and probably
u number of entries In fine arts. Wo will
not undertake to erect a state building , as
the ' .Imo la now too short to carry out such
a project In the manner wo would desire ,
but by utilizing the mineral and forestry
collections now in hand we will l.avo an ex
hibit that will be a credit to our tate and
will compare favorably with that of any of
the other states ? . "
Mr. Dosch to a retired capitalist and his
work In the matter In hand Is ono of phi
lanthropy. Reports from Oregon arc to the
ofCi-ct that he earned the confidence of the
jiooplo by the manner In which ho con
ducted the exhibit at the World's fair , re
turning $18,000 to the state treasury as a
IH la n co from an appropriation of $00,000.
The 8,000 feet of space reserved by Mr.
Dosch for Oregon Is divided as follows :
Mines building , 2,000foot ; forestry exhibit ,
2,000 ; Horticulture building , l.GOO ; educa
tional exhibit , 1,000 feet ; Agricultural build
ing , 1,000 ; fish exhibit , COO feet.
DKCJUES ON A BUILDING.
After vlaltlns the exposition grounds yes
terday afternoon Mr. Dosch was very en
thusiastic regarding the participation of his
state In the exposition and declared most
emphatically that-ho would urge his people
to erect a elate building on the grounds.
"I am going to recommend and Inslat that
wo put up a building to be used as head
quarters on the grounds , " said Mr. Dosch.
"Wo can build It of wood , InsUTe and out-
sldo , and make a structure which will bo
very attractive besides being a splendid ad
vertisement for our lumber resources. In
addition to the $20,000 which will be re
quired for on exhibit wo will require about
$5,000 for our building and1 I bellovo we can
rnlso the entire amount without any diffi
culty. "
"I can , hardly express' ' my surprise- the
( beauty and grandeur of your exposition , "
continued Mr. Dosch. "I expected to see a
Hood showing but I was surprised beyond
measure at the magnitude and ( magnificence
of the grounds and buildings. Your building }
cro beautiful and the arrangement of the
grounds arc all that could be desired , but
I am a horticultural crank and I am con
vinced that your Horticulture building la
entirely too' ' mall. Why ! I could fill one-
quarter'of It with a display from our elate.
We raise everything1 In the fruit line except
citrous fruits and we have a reputation to
sustain. Wo tools all the medals on apples ,
grapes and cherries at the World's fair and
we will make a biff showing In ell kinds
of fruits this summer.
"I am especially anxious to have our state
represented by a headquarters building. Af
ter seeing the fine locations you have for
state buildings and the great showing which
Is being made by other elates In that , dlrec-
itloin I want our state to . ( be In line and
I bellovo It can be accomplished without
difficulty. I think our big lumbermen will
donate the wood and we will have as fine a
building as there will be on the bluff tract.
My plan Is to have a building about 40x60
leot on the ground , two stories high anil
fitted with rooms for offices and parlors
lor our people. A veranda twenty feet In
width should surround the whole building
for shade and thrn we would have a place
where our people could make their head
quarters when they come to the exposition.
I am going to turn my attention to thla
matter when I reach homo and I believe It
can bo brought about. "

Major T. S. Clarkson Is In Kansas arous
ing an Interest among the people of thai
etato In the idea of having an exhibit at the
exposition. Several former attempts have

received a very cordial reception , the people
manifesting an Interest In the exposition
matter and Issuing a call for a general meet
ing of citizens to bo held Thursday evening
Action was also taken to urge the governor
to appoint a strong commission to begin
active work. From Atchlson Major Clarksor
-wrote that ho would go to Lcavcnworth and
Topeka and would have a personal Inter
view with the governor to urge him to take
.hold ot the matter before It Is too late
The major also said 'that ' ho would organize
a party ot prominent business men from
licavenworth , Atchtaon nnd Topeka to vial
Omaha and acquire a little enthusiasm.
Notwithstanding the apparent apathy o
the state at large , some of the counties o
Kansas are taking the matter In their own
hands and are making preparations to make
county exhibits at the exposition , regardless
Of what the state mar do. Washington
county has made an appropriation for an
exhibit and has scut a committee , consist

Will Cltxip Xoxt Week.
The regular weekly meeting of the Ex-
losltlon chorus was held last night In the
arge roan on the top floor of the city hall.
This was the first meeting In these quar
ters and the change was n most agreeable
ono. The high celling and largo area of
his room made the work of the chorus much
more satisfactory nnd the effect was notlce-
able In the results produced. Charles
iotinod's beautiful work , "By Babylon's
Wave , " was the first thing taken up and
: ho drill on this rather difficult number vns
productive of excellent results. The
'Easter Hymn" from Mascagnl's "Cavallerla
tustlcana , " was also put in rehearsal and
good progress was made on It.
Prof. Edward Dworzak has been appointed
acconpanlst for the chorus and assumed
charge of the piano last night. The care-
! ul and conscientious manner In which ho
icrformod this thankless task was a great
OBslatanco to the singers. v
Director Kelly announced that at all re-
icarsals hereafter no ono not a member of
.he chorus will bo allowed to sing and no
persons will bo admitted to the rehearsal
except the members of the chorus or those
acting as escorts for the female members.
Ho alao announced that the Hats will be
closed at the next meeting and no further
members will be admitted.
The membership of the chorus has In
creased at each meeting , about n dozen new
voices being added last night nnd the maxi
mum number of 200 has been almost reached.

( lory , to' Ho Remembered.
President Wattles Is In receipt of a com
munication from Ithp secretary of the Ellza-
ieth Ross Monument association , with head
quarters in Minneapolis. The name of this
organization does not throw much light on
the nature of the communication unless the
reader Is well Versed in American history ,
but it may bo stated that Elizabeth Ross ,
or "Betsy" Ross as she was generally known ,
was the designer and maker of the American
lag as wo now know U. The association
bearing her name was organized .for the
purpose of erecting a monument to this
noted character in , history and ithe secretary
ot the association suggests that a "Hag day"
bo made a feature of the program of the ex
position and that appropriate exercises be
lield on that occasion. It is suggested that
the town and exposition grounds should be
burled In an avalanche of red , white and
blue , and noted men from all sections of the
country should bo invited to participate in
the program. The date suggested for this
celebration Is Juno 14 , the anniversary of
the adoption of the American flag. In case
this imggestlon Is adopted the secretary
writes that the association will make ar
rangements to exhibit the first American
llag madcj by Betsy Ross and other relics of
Interest In the same connection.
The matter will bo given prompt attention
by President Wattles.

resentative ot the New England Shoe and
Leather association , urging upon the gov
ernor the importance ' of having tbe state
well represented at the exposition. Mr.
Blckford says this organization is composed
of representatives of twenty-six of the com
mercial bodies of Boston and Is one of the
strongest trade organizations in the world.
Ho says the president and secretary ot the
organization are most favorable to partici
pation by the state and will urge the gov
ernor to take action. The project ot a state
building is making good progress and every
Indication is in favor of the Old Bay state

'Having purchased this great work , and paid the full price for two copies ( in money ,
not in puffs ) , I am in a position to give a candid opinion of its worth. The book is admira
bly written. The author has the historic instinct ; he portrays the frets in their true rela
tions , tracing effects to their causes like a true philosopher. Every time I consult these am
pie volumes I find my admiration increased. I have never failed to find a clear , thorough ,
condensed account of the period or person respecting whom light was needed. The illustra *
tions lure the children to it , and to read it instead of the trash which is too often thrust in
their way. "

WASHINGTON , March 15. The republican
leaders of the house are pressing for an
early adjournment , , and It is slid their
course meets the full approval ot the presi
dent. .
All save three of the appropriation bills
tiavo gone to the senate. The postofilco bill
was taken up in the house today and the
appropriations and the naval committees am
working hard to get the lest bllln , the gen
eral deficiency and naval , into the house.
The action ot the appropriations pommlt-
tee In preparing the general deficiency bill
at this time is the best. evidence ot the In
tention of tbo leaders to secure an early ad
journment. This bill is always held back
until the last , aa It contains all the odds
and ends , and usually is not reported until
a more or less ( Infinite understanding as to
flail adjournment has been reached.
May 1 has been fixed by sdveral house re
publicans as the date beyond which the ses
sion probably will not bo prolonged.
The democrats of the house generally favor
an early adjournment , although there is not
unanimity among them on tbjs point.
Neither is there complete harmony on the
republican side as to an. early adjournment.
Many republicans "believe " congress should
remain In session until the Cuban question
Is finally and effectually cleared up , but
they would hardly go to the extent of op
posing the wish of the leaden and tno ad
ministration.
It is admitted on the house ildo that the
question of carrying out his arrangement
will depend entirely upon the attitude of the
senate. '

the Iron when In a state of fusion , was the
result ot coatly and laborious experiments
which extended over a long period and in
which the end was attained only after many
and disheartening failures. The invention

world In the short space of thirty years.
From bis earliest youth ho was fond of
modeling and designing patterns and at the
age of 20 ho was an exhibitor In the Royal
academy. Not until 1856 , however , did he
read before the British association , at Chel
tenham , the papcV on the manufacture of
malleable Iron and steel which flret attracted
attention to the very high character ot hl
scientific attainments.
Ho was the reclpiant ot ecorea ot distinc
tions from the crowned heads of Europe ,
and from the scientific and learned societies ;
In 1870 he was president of tde iron and
steel institute of Great Britain ; and In tdls
country the cities'of Beeaemcc , Alabama , and
Bessemer , Mich. , with several places ot
leca importance , were named after him In
recognition of the value ot his Invention. Ho
received bU knighthood In 1879.
