PAniS , April 1C. ( New York
World Cablegram. ) "In these days of
war it gladdens the heart and mind to
enter-a pcrtce festival like the one we
have just inaugurated. It is magnifi
cently adequate. Krancc may well bo
proud. This country has endeared herself -
self to all thinking humanity by many
pages of her glorious history. She
over has been one of the foremost
champlona of progress In all directions
of human endeavor. " This is the way
United States Commissioner Fcrdl-
nand'W. Peck began a statement. IIo
goon on :
"Today , as I realize what a vast civ
ilizing factor the exposition will prove ,
1 fiay 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 Intercuts , but pro
motes the well-being of the most dis
tant laborer on our prairies and the
most reluctant savage In Polynesia.
"I wan and remain u great admirer
of the Chicago's world's fair. When I
llrst came here and for a long time
afterward I felt very doubtful whether
the present exposition could equal
ours. My views have changed. Chicago
cage excelled in some respects. Wo
had there a magnificent situation-
vast itruitB of lake front and a uplendld
park. Our men took advantage of
these points with an Intelligence , the
result of which cannot bo 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 18911. They willingly concede
that some of these tilings must remain
unequuled here.
"On the other hand French in-
gonulty 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 1ms been collected to
gether to keep visitors busily going
and always Interested , oven If they
should atuy throughout the exposition
period in Paris. "
ECHO OP CARTER CASE

WASHINGTON. April 1C. Some
( line ngo proceedings were instituted
by the department of justice to se
cure the removal to Savannah , Ga. ,
of Benjamin D. Green. John P. , Will-
lam T. and Edwatd H. Gaynor nnd
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 nt Savannah
and in Cumberland Bound In connec
tion with Captain 0. M. Carter.
The United States commissioner In
Now York , whore the defendants wrje
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 Addlson Brown , however -
over , held to the contraVy and fur
ther that the government was required
by affirmative proof to make out a
case of probable guilt nnd that the
defendants were entitled to go fully
Into their defense and to produce evi
dence on their part to rebut the pre
sumption ot 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 tea
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.

WASHINGTON , April 14. It Is un
derstood that no selection of a successor
ser to Allen as assistant secretary of
the navy will he made until after Sec
retary long returns to Washington
fiom Colorado and has had an oppor
tunity to express his preference In the
matter. The secretary Is expected to
nirlve here almost any moment. Mean
while the tide of placcscckcrs has
turned upon Allen's ofllce and the
White House , some of the applicants
rot even waiting for the president's
signature to the organic net before pro-
pouting their claims for some post con
nected with the government of Porto
Rico. The Indications are that none of
these appointments will be made until
Allen has had an opportunity to reach
San Juan and personally look into the
conditions there.
Secretary of the Treasury Gage has
decided that the customs feature of > thc
Porto Rico tariff and governmental bill
goes Into opciatlon on the first day of
May , 1900. This decision was made
necessary in view of a discrepancy in
the bill ao to the time the act should
become operative.
This action was taken as the result
of a conference at the treasury today
between Assistant Secretary Mclkle-
john and Assistant Secretary Spalding.
The war department has been in receipt
of many Inquiries from persons in dif
ferent sections of the country calling
fttentlon to the apparent discrepancy
in the Porto Rico act and asking for an
ofllclal statement as to the date when
the duties will go Into effect. The con
clusion arrived at applies to all of the
affairs of the Island and the war de
portment will retain cumuleto control
and direction there until May 1.
It Is expected that Governor Allen
will bo In San Juan before the end of
the present month , but ho will not un-
dcrtako to assume his office until the
date named.
The cabinet mooting today was occu
pied largely In a discussion of Porto
Rican affairs and particularly the Porto
RJcan bill , which was signed by the
president yesterday. The provisions
of the bill were carefully gone over
nnd suggestions'made as to the per
sonnel of the new administration of the
Inland.
Secretary Gage has already taken
steps to assume charge of the collec
tion of the customs duties and soon an
expert will be designated to go over
the Island and Inspect the present sys
tem , with a view to making any
changes either In methods or personnel
that may teem necessary.

LONDON , April 11. "The forward

An editorial note in the Daily Mail

way and that the hope of relief Is
far off , as no force is advancing from

The war ofllcc announces that 4,000
horses will arrive at the Cape this
week. It Is well understood that the
animals are not fit for work until about
ten days after the voyage. Two thou

the reserve companies of several In

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 :
"Tho latest addition which political
gossips have made to the list of avnil-
ablcs 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 Allcghcnles and that west
ern republicans must be considered.
So , while easterners arc gravely dis
cussing an available man In the cast ,
western politicians are tinning their
faces toward the setting sun In search
o 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 speakcrship
contest , when In their breezy , western
fashion they so rudely upset the plans
of a number of calculating politicians
of the east.

WASHINGTON , Apiil 14. The sec

Stcrnberg providing for the appoint
ment of contract surgeons who have
rendered one year's faithful and satis
factory service in thc'anny 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 coin-
missioned arc 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 nnd as a mat
ter of justice to a number of contract
surgeons who are now in the service ,
and upon whom to a largo 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.
