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

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.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 13.—The

at 9:30 o’clock last night at the Chi
cago & Alton crossing, Just east of In

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.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
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.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.— Tn con

of his office, Sixth Auditor Castle for

ed A. Clements to he chief of the col

lie chief of the bookkeeping division.
D. H. 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.

TORONTO, Nov. 12.—A correspond

extended interview with William
Ogilvie, surveyor of the Department (f
of Interior, who left for the Yuk u

returning. Mr. Ogilvie reports there
are 100 claims on Bonanza creek ca
