( New Yor World Cablegram. ) "In these days i war it gladdens the heart and mind 1 enter a peace festival like the one v have just inaugurated. It is magni : cently adequate. France may well I proud. This country has endeared he self to all thinking humanity by man pages of her glorious history. SI ever has been one of the foramoi champions of progress in all directior of human endeavor. " This is the wa United States Commissioner Ferd nand W. Peck began a statement. I ] goes on : "Today , as I realize what a vast ci ilizing factor the exposition will prov I say that every man and woman o earth whether or not able to vis Paris ought to feel thankful 1 France for such a mingling of tli races and interchange of what is be ; among them. It not only develops tli large international interests , but pri motes the well-being of the most di taut laborer on our prairies and tli most reluctant savage in Polynesia. "I was and remain a great admire of the Chicago's world's fair. When first came here and for a long tim afterward 1 felt very doubtful whethc the present exposition could eqiu ours. My views have changed. Ch cage excelled in some respects. W had there a magnificent situation- vast areas of lake front and a splendi park. Our men took advantage c these points with an intelligence , th result of which cannot be overpraisec Even the French officials heading th present enterprise have not forgotte the marvelous architecture , harnK nious groupings , enchanting water e : fects and the general loftiness of th fair of 1893. They willingly conced that some of these things must remai unequaled here. "On the other hand French ir genuity and artistic taste , coupled wit extensive previous experience , hav achieved wonders. The area of th Paris exposition is less than that o Chicago , but nevertheless , it is enoi mous. Enough has been collected tc Bether to keep visitors busily goini and always interested , even if the ; should stay throughout the expositioi period in Paris.

OO B to Acquaint IIIniHelf Mo Thoroughly ivlth Comlltlona There Post n Himl One to Fill ut Present Little Time Left to Form Skulcti Government Under the Hill. WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 13.- Charles H. Allen , at present assista : secretary of the navy , will be the fir civil governor of Porto Rico , und < the provisions of the bill passed I the house of representatives yesterda Inasmuch as the act takes effect c the first of next month , there is hi little time left in which to outline skeleton form of government , inclui ing the formation of a cabinet. Toward the close of the day Alle was summoned to the White hoiii by the president and the formal tei der of the post was made. Allen r < turned a practical acceptance. The the president and the next govern < of Porto Rico spent an hour in cloj conference. Owing to the fact th ; little more than two weeks' time intei venes before the civil government mu go into operation , according to tl act of congress , it was decided that would not be practicable to comple the cabinet of the governor in th ; time. Therefore Allen will go alone 1 San Juan at the earliest possible mi ment after Secretary Long's return 1 Washington , which should be on Sa uruay next. He will put himself in touch wit General Davis , now military governc of the island , and spend a short tin in acquainting himself with the ii sular affairs and in studying the chai acter of the men who present then selves to his notice as proper materi ; for membership of the new cabine The organic act prescribes that at leai seven members of the council shall I Porto Ricans. While the actual appointment ( these offices will devolve upon tli president , Allen's observations whil in Porto Rico are expected to ai materially in the selections. As see as he shall have established himse and gained the knowledge he seeh Governor Allen will return to tli United States. He may leave Genen Davis In charge during his absenci but in case it shall have been foun possible to complete the formation c the cabinet , or even if only one mere ber shall have .been appointed , the that person will act as temporary goA ernor. As to his intentions respectin the administration of the island's al fairs Allen disclosed these during short interview this afternoon , in th course o' which he said : "It is true that the president ha asked me to go to Porto Rico as th civil governor. I regard this tende in the spirit in which it is made , a a great compliment , although its acceptance ceptanco means undertaking grav responsibilities. "My own inclination and my per sonal interests urge me to decline , bu one should not always choose the eas way. There is a patriotic duty some times to be performed. If I can arrang my alfairs in such a way as to enabl me to do so I shall accept the positio and I shall then be ready to start a once for this post of duty tomorrow "My deep regret is leaving the nay department. My service there has bee : of the happiest sort and the attach ments there for me will always remai : a pleasant memory. " In the selection of Mr. Allen th president has had in mind the appoint ment of a man of affairs and of soum business experience , qualities whic ] are deemed essential in the administra tion of the affairs of an entirely nev government such as ij to be erected ii t'orto Rico. Mr. Allen is no lawyer , but lega idvice always can be had even ii Porto Rico , when the occasion arises ind In fact the organic act provide for a well paid attorney general as ; member of the governor general' : abinet.
