PA1US, April 1C. — (New York World Cablegram.)—“In these days of war It gladdens the heart and mind to enter a peace festival like the one we have just inaugurated. It is magnifi cently adequate. France may well be proud. This country has endeared her self to all thinking humanity by many pages of lier glorious history. She ever has been one of the foremost champions of progress in all directions of human endeavor." This is the way United States Commissioner Ferdi nand W. Peck began a statement. He i goes on: ! “Today, as I realize what a vast civ I ilizing factor the exposition will prove, j I say that every man and woman on | earth—whether or not able to visit Paris—ought to feel thankful to France for such a mingling of the races and interchange of what is best among them. It not only develops the large international interests, but pro motes the well-being of the most dis tant laborer on our prairies and the most reluctant savage in Polynesia. “I was and remain a great admirer of the Chicago’s world’s fair. When i first came here and for a long time afterward I felt very doubtful whether the present exposition could equal ours. My views have changed. Chi cago excelled in some respects. We had there a magnificent situation— vast areas of lake front and a splendid park. Our men took advantage of these points with an intelligence, the result of which cannot be overpraised. Even the French officials heading the present enterprise have not forgotten the marvelous architecture, harmo nious groupings, enchanting water ef fects and the general loftiness of the fair of 1893. They willingly concede that some of these things must remain unequaled here. “On the other band French in genuity and artistic taste, coupled with extensive previous experience, have achieved wonders. The area of the Paris exposition is less than that of Chicago, but nevertheless, it is enor mous. Enough lias been collected to gether to keep visitors busily going and always interested, even if they should stay throughout the exposition period in Paris.” ECHO OF CARTER CASE Congress Likely to Take n Hand in the Matter of Men Implicated. WASHINGTON, April 16.—Seme time ago proceedings were instituted by the department of justice to se cure the removal to Savannah, Ga., of Benjamin II. Green, John F., Will iam T. and Edward H. Gaynor and Michael A. Connolly, who were in dicted by the grand Jury of the Unit ed States district court of Georgia ♦or conspiring to defraud the United States upon two contracts relating to harbor Improvements at Savannah and in Cumberland sound in connec tion with Captain O. M. Carter. The United States commissioner in New York, where the defendants were apprehended, held in effect that the certified copy of the Georgia indict ment, followed by the identification of the defendants, was sufficient to jus tify their removal. District Judge Addison Brown, how ever, held to the contrary and fur ther that the government wap required by affirmative proof to make out a case of probable guilt and that the defendants were entitled to go fully into their defense and to produce evi dence on their part to rebut the pre sumption of guilt raised by the proofs of the government. The attorney general takes issue with Judge Brown as to the correct ness of his ruling, but with a view to a final settlement of the question has sent to the chairman of the judiciary committees of both houses of congress a draft of a bill which if it becomes a law will have the effect of compelling the removal of persons indicted for offenses against the United States from the place of arrest to the district Where the offense is committed. reunion* for Capron Widow*. WASHINGTON, April 16—The house favorably acted upon flfty throo bills, among which were two senate bills to increase the pensions of the widows of Captain Allyn Cap ron and Captain Allyn K.

The house reduced the amount to $25 in the case of the former and $30 in the case of the latter. Harrison Declines. CHICAGO, April 16.—Mayor Carter Harrison today come out unequivoc ally in opposition to his nomination by the democratic state convention for the governorship of Illinois and gave his reasons at length. Mayor Harri son said: "If I entered the race for governor I should do everything in my power to be elected and should expect to succeed. In that case I would have to take my seat as governor in Janu ary of next year and the city of Chi cago would be without a mayor. Hank Teller Abrcondg. BURLINGTON, Vt., April 16.—A special from Waterbary, Vt., says that John Farrar, teller of the Waterbury National bank, is missing and that there is a defalcation of $25,000 of the bank's funds.

Excite ment over the alleged find is intense. ALIEN TO PORTO WO Assistant Secretary of the Navy Hamed for Civil Governor. HE DEPARTS FOR THE ISLAND Qom to Acquaint Himself Hare Thoroughly with Conditions There— Post s Hard One to Pill at Present— Little Time Left to Form Skeleton Government Under the BUI. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.— Cbarlea H. Allen, at present assistant secretary of the navy, will be the first civil governor of Porto Rico, under the provisions of the bill passed by the house of representatives yesterday. Inasmuch as the act takes effect on the first of next month, there, is but little time left in which to outline a skeleton form of government, includ ing the formation of a cabinet. Toward the close of the day Allen was summoned to the White house by the president and the formal ten der of the post was made. Allen re turned a practical acceptance. Then the president and the next governor of Porto Rico spent an hour in close conference. Owing to the fact that little more than two weeks’ time inter venes before the civil government must go into operation, according to the act of congress, it was decided that it would not be practicable to complete the cabinet of the governor in that time. Therefore Allen will go alone to San Juan at the earliest possible mo ment after Secretary Long’s return to Washington, which should be on Sat uruay next. He will put himself in touch with General Davis, now military governor of the island, and spend a short time in acquainting himself with the in sular affairs and in studying the char acter of the men who present them selves to his notice as proper material for membership of the new cabinet. The organic act prescribes that at least seven members of the council shall be Porto Ricans. While the actual appointment of these offices will devolve upon the president, Allen’s observations while in Porto Rico are expected to aid materially in the selections. As soon as he shall have established himself and gained the knowledge he seeks Governor Allen will return to the United States. He may leave General Davis in charge during his absence, but in case it shall have been found possible to complete the formation of the cabinet, or even if only one mem ber shall have been appointed, then that person will act as temporary gov ernor. As to his intentions respecting the administration of the island’s af fairs Allen disclosed these during a short interview this afternoon, in the course o' which he said: “It is true that the president has asked me to go to Porto Rico as the civil governor. I regard this tender in the spirit in which it is made, as a great compliment, although its ac ceptance means undertaking grave responsibilities. “My own inclination and my per sonal interests urge me to decline, but one should not always choose the easy way. There is a patriotic duty some times to be performed. If I can arrange my affairs in such a way as to enable me to do so I shall accept the position and I shall then be ready to start at once for this post of duty tomorrow. “My deep regret is leaving the navy department. My service there has been of the happiest sort and the attach ments there for me will always remain a pleasant memory.” In the selection of Mr. Allen the president has had in mind the appoint ment of a man of affairs and of sound business experience, qualities which are deemed essential in the administra tion of the affairs of an entirely new government such as is to be erected in Porta Rico. M?. Allen is no lawyer, but legal advice always can be had even in Porto Rico, when the occasion arises, and in fact the organic act provides for a well paid attorney general as a member of the governor general's cabinet. Advantage with Federal*. PRETORIA, Wednesday, April 13.— Advices from Wepener, where a Brit ish force is surrounded, say the battle continues favorable to the federals. About 1,500 British troops are said to be there. A heavy cannonade was heard this morning in the direction of Bultfontein situated midway between Winburgo and Boshof, in the Orange Free State, and north of Brandfort. Advices from the Boer headquarters in Natal say that after a heavy bom bardment the British are retiring in the direction of Ladysmith and the federals are going to their old posi tions. BRYAN VISITS DYING WOMAN Itosponda to Requeat that She May See Champion of Her Faith. PHOENIX, Ariz., April 13—W. J. Bryan arrived here this morning and was escorted by two brass bands through the streets 'to his hotel, where he was- entertained by the democratic clubs. A reception followed, during which he received a message from a dying woman, asking him to call on her, as she desired to meet the cham pion of her faith. He readily re sponded. Returning to the hotel, Mr. Bryan addressed the school children, the schools being closed for the occa sion. For an hour and a half he ad dressed 5,000 people. BOER ACTIVITY EXPLAINED. So Anxious to Fight They Cannot Be Kept From It. BLOEMFONTEIN, Wednesday, April 13.—According to information received here the Boer activity eastward of the railroad and in proximity to the border Is largely due to the fact that Presi dents Kruger and Steyn have found they are unable to keep their forces to gether in inactivity, the burghers de claring they are unwilling to remain with their commands unless actively employed, as they are convinced thf British game is a waiting one. BOOM FOR MERCER Xtbraiksn Talked of Banning; Mate for McKinley. WASHINGTON, April 14.—Congress man Mercer is the latest suggestion for vice president, his name being fre quently heard in and about the capi tal. The Star says this evening: "The latest addition which political gossips have made to the list of av&il ables for vice president is Mr. Mer cer of Nebraska. The suggestion of his name has been received with fa vor in many quarters. The main argu ment in his behalf is the possibility of carrying Nebraska against Bryan. There is a well defined movement on foot among republicans to go west for a running mate for McKinley. The same spirit which was shown in the election of Henderson as speaker in compliance with a demand from the west for recognition is being mani fested again. The claim is frequently put forward that the center of popula tion in the republican party has moved west of the Alleghenies and that west ern republicans must be considered. So, while easterners are gravely dis cussing an available man in the east, western politicians are turning their faces toward the setting sun in search of a candidate to take second place on the national ticket. Western re publicans are as strenuous in this af fair as they were in the speakership contest, when in their breezy, western fashion they so rudely upset the plans of a number of calculating politicians of the east. COMMISSIONS FOR SURGEONS Congress Urged to Give Contract Medical Officer* the Prise. WASHINGTON, April 14,—The sec retary of war has forwarded to con gress with his approval the draft of a bill prepared by Surgeon General Sternberg providing for the appoint ment of contract surgeons who have rendered one year’s faithful and satis factory service in the army of the Unit ed States as assistant surgeons of vol unteers with the rank of first lieuten ant. The bill provides for such ap pointments after the usual examina tion as to physical and professional qualifications and the officers so com missioned are to be subject to honor able discharge whenever their' ser vices are no longer required. The bill also provides for the promotion of such assistant surgeons to the rank of captain after two years’ faithful and satisfactory service. General Stern berg has written a letter to the secre tary of war urging the enactment of the proposed legislation during the present session of congress, both in the interests of the service and as a mat ter of justice to a number of contract surgeons who are now in the service, and upon whom to a large extent he says devolves the duty of caring for the sick of our armies in the United States, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in Alaska and in the Philippines. ANDREWS GOES TO LINCOLN. Get* Leave of Absence to look Over the Nebraska University. CHICAGO, April 14.—Dr. B. Benja min Andrews left for Lincoln to con sult with the regents of’ the Uni versity of Nebraska and survey the institution, whose chancellorship has been offered him. He will decide upon acceptance or rejection of the propo sition within a few days. Some of his friends expect the announcement to be made at Lincoln before his return home. His visit to the university is regarded as indicative of a desire to ac cept the place. Trustees of the Chi cago board of education who are anx ious to retain Dr. Andrews as super intendent of Chicago schools were sur prised when he asked for a leave of absence to visit Nebraska. VISITS AMONG ROYAITY Emperor of Austria's Calls at Berlin Will Probably Be Returned.

The statement is also printed that the czar will pay a visit to Vienna in July. Clark Will Not Resign. BUTTE,'Mont., April 14.—A special from Washington to the Inter-Moun tain says: It is now certain that Senator Clark will not resign. The pressure from his Montana friends and legal advisers is in favor of contesting to a finish. The Times this morning says that Senators Mason, Bacon and Heitfeld will make a fight on the floor of the senate, claiming that a two-thirds vote is necessary to unseat him. They claim that the report of the committee does not sustain the direct charge of brib ery against him. They will expose the character of his plans and he will doubtless make a speech in his own behalf. Make Quick Trip. KEARNEY, Neb., April 14.—A train of five coaches, carrying New York Central railroad engineers and their wivej, passed through Kearney at 2 o’clock this afternoon.
