WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Tlie com mittee on allotment of space and ap portionment of money for the gov ernment exhibit for the Trans-Miss issippi Exposition held a meeting at the Department of State. Two plans for allotlng space were discussed and reported to the board. One plan give* about 152,000 square feet to exhibit* and the other 167,000. The first pro vide* for exhibits along the center so ns to have a wide aisle In the center running the full length of the build ing. Either arrangement will. It Is thought, provide for it larger exhltilt displayed to better advantage than at Atlanta or Nnshville. In fact, several departments ask for much more space and much more money for the Omaha exposition than was desired for the two expositions named. It Is the pur pose of the hoard to outdo any prev ious effort. Many new exhibits will be made that will be highly Interest ing and of the utmost value to the student. The board will hold a meet ing on the 20th Inst., when the report of the committee on allotment of space and funds will be acted upon. Soon thereafter the departments will begin to prepare their exhibits. The committee Ih composed of Michael, Stale department: llavenal, Fish com mission, and True, Smlthsonlnn in stitution. THE CENTRAL PACIFIC. Hon. William J. Coombs of New York, who acted In an advisory capac ity to the government In connection with the Hale of the Union Pacific railroad, Is In the city for the pprposc of conferring with the attorney gen eral respecting the affairs of the Cen tra) Pacific. The conference Is to take place tomorrow. Mr. Coombs says he Is not aware of what steps the administration will take to protect the government's Inter ests In the road. The full amount of l he government’s claims approximat es $46,000,000, and Mr. Coombs be lieves the road will sell at Its full com mercial value. He mentioned the Denver & Rio Grande, the reorganized Union Pacific, the Central Pacific third mortgage bondholders and stockhold ers, and the Southern Pacific Railroad company as corporations and Interests which might bid on the road were It offered for sale at public auction. Mr. William Holoman, who It Is said represents the hunklnghoime of Speyer it Co. of New York, had an Interview with Attorney General McKenna to day, presumably for the purpose of as certaining the government's Intention respecting the Central Pacific. Mr. Soloman returned to New York as soon as the conference was over and Mr. McKenna declined to say anything re garding It for publication. ASKED TO INTERVENE. It Is not possible to confirm here the statement coming from Berlin to the effect that the United States has offered to mediate between Germany und Hayti In the difference arising from the arrest, of the German sub ject. It is gathered that while no such proffer has been made, Invita tions have been made to this govern ment to Intervene without success. MlfiMHirl rm lflf IVHcl l'|>. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 13.—The Missouri Pacific passenger train, known as the St. Louis fast mall, which leaves Kansas City at !) p. m.t was hold up by five masked robbers at 9:30 o’clock last night at the Chi cago & Alton crossing, Just east of In dependence, Mo., and less than a mile from the famous Blue Cut. In which three train robberies have occurred within the last year. The robbers had evidently Intended to stop the St. Louis limited night ex press, which leaves Kansas City at a later hour, and were greatly surpris'd upon discovering that the cars which they had captured contained nothing of value. In their rage they pounced upon the express messenger and went through his pockets, but $2.8u was all they secured. After this they quickly left the train and disappeared in the darkness.

Definite A-rnngrinent* M»<le for Tnklii I'p the Subject Soon. WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.—Definite hi rangements have been made for taking up the subpect of a reciprocity treaty between the United States ar.d Canada, and to this end meetings have been fixed between John. A. Kacson. who is specially delegated by Presi dent McKinley toconduct reciprocity negotiations, and Sir Willard Raurier, the Canadian premier, and Sir Isolds Davies, minister of marine. This i the result of the long and friendly conference held yesterday between Secretary Sherman and Sir Wilfred Raurler. The meeting will be held during the present visit of the Cana dian officials, but no exact time for it has yet been fixed, as it \yill depend somewhat on the time which can tie spared from the Rering sea sessions. The arragements also contemplate taking up the question of border im migration, north Atlantic fisheries, lake fisheries and all other subjects af fecting the two countries. The meet ing with Mr. Knsson. however, will be confined to reciprocity, us he Is del egated by the president to treat on that subject alone. It is not expected that the reciproc ity treaty ilself can bo matured during the present trip of the Canadian of ficials, the desire being to arrive at some common understanding at this time and then perfect the details later. The dinner at the White House last night, assisted toward a friendly set tlement of pending questions. There were no toasts and no speeches at 1 lie dinner, hut at its conclusion the Ca nadian guests accompanied the presi dent and Ills cabinet advisers to the blue room, where a wholly Informal and personal change of views occurred. T hey were on the same friendly lines as those of the formal conference be tween the secretary of state and Sir Wilfrid enrllPr In the day and the gen ent time was opportune for more cor dial Intercourse between thlH country and Panada. f'liariffca In the Department.

Kenton, whom Mr. Duncan suc ceeds, has been engaged to represent the government In all legal proceed ings against the bondsmen of postof fle officials. Including postmasters. Mr. Castle states that he has examined the replies of about forty of the clerks whom he notified some months since of their probable reduction In grade and pay and that he has made reduc tions In about twenty cases, averag ing about $200 each per annum. The showing made by the remaining twenty being satisfactory, they will remain undisturbed. The notices were originally sent to about eighty per sons, and the responses of all of then' will be scntinlzcd carefully. Th* IIhmnIIiiii Annexation T^iDv. WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Ratifica tion of the Hawaiian annexation treaty by the United States senate It assured. The administration has mad: a poll of that body and as a result President McKlnlev Is satisfied that more than two-thirds of thesenate will vote for the treaty. It Is said to he the purpose of Chair man Davis at the first executive ses sion to ask that a day be fixed for tak up the treaty. Ratification during the early part of the year is confidently expected. President McKinley in his message to congress will present as strongly ns possible the argument for annexa tion. He will show that the treaty has already been ratified by the Hawaiian senate, and that only the action of the senate of the United States is required to add the Island to our territory. (iooiI Itepnrt* From Klondike. TORONTO, Nov. 12.—A correspond ent of the Globe sends to his paper oil extended interview with William Ogilvie, surveyor of the Department (f of Interior, who left for the Yuk u country October 19, 1855, and is now returning. Mr. Ogilvie reports there are 100 claims on Bonanza creek ca pable of yielding from $250,000 to $510, 000 and thirty claims on Kldorado creek that will no doubt ylled an aver age of $1,000,000 each. These two creeks, he says, form but a small per centage of the placers already discov ered. The other streams in the vicin ity, though not quite so rich, will rate very high compared with anything found in the country before. The g.ibl hearing district extends at least 100 miles from the American boundary and Is al some places loo miles wide.
