PAIIIS , May 0. At 2 o'clock this afternoon ,
surrounded by his ministers and many dis
tinguished guests , President Carnet stood
under the great ilomo of the exposition
building to formally declare it open. The
preliminaries have been auspicious. The
ceremonial at Versailles , yesterday , while
not of llrst importance , was dignified and
discreet. The military display , which was
i * Inferior to many 1 Have seen in Paris , was
wisely curtailed to give visitors nn opportu
nity to sco the charms of the most beautiful
spot in Europe , whose natural loveliness is
r.ot overmatched by its historical associations ,
In which romance and tragedy nro so
utnmgely commingled , The speeches by
the president and others were charao
tcrizcd alike. by tact and taste
and there was not a solitary marring Inci
dent , The blank cartridge discharged by
the maudlin sensationalist , who to-day was
ascertained to bo a harmless Imbecile , do-
nerving only pity , has already boon for-
gotten. Kverywhero the demonstrations
were unqualillcd. If discontent prevailed ,
It remained nway from Versailles , and has
up to this timu , at least , uttered no sound
and given no sign. The t.ilisuianio spell of
thrift soothes whatever of political rancor
nmy seen vent under other circumstances.
The trivial episode of General Houlangur's
election to the municipal council of St. Olton
yesterday arouses little interest.
As bo stands under the dome of the expo
sition building President Carnet is seen to
t Ivantago. Ho is small in physiwie , straight ,
wiry and resolute , wliilo amiability of char
acter is expressed in the relaxation of his
thin lips that muy bo depended upon for rigor
when rcdulrcd. Ho impresses the observer
as being a keen man , reticent rather than
volble , more decisive than eager , a fair
and tenacious man. Hin political experience
is extensive in legislation and administra
tion. While there are more renowned
statesmen than ho in France , it Is manifest
bo has combined in an exceptional degree
these traits and attainments that adapt him
to the epoch through which Franco is pass-
ng a constructive and defensive period , In
A-hich it is essential to maintain order with
out infringing upon liberty , and to encour
age and strengthen the moral sense of people -
plo in support of self government , wliilo ed
ucation , manufacture , commerce and taxa
tion are brought into national equilibrium.
Premier Tirard , who .stands at the presi
dent's side , overshadows him in the oxtcr-
. ills of manhood , llo is a vigorous , even a
powerful , man , of strong features , and has a
finely developed head. Ho recalls Mr.
Hlalno. Ho is older tlian President C.irnot ,
who is llfty-two , and docs not look moro than
forty llvo. Near the president and the pre
mier is the radical of the cabinet , the politi
cal economist Guyot , the minister of public
works , whoso functions include many of the
most important ot tlio secretary of
Iho treasury , with most of these
of the secretary of the interior.
Other members of the cabinet surrounded
the president , ro-inforccd by able men of
affairs who have successfully conducted the
exposition through four and a half years ol
preparation Lockray , Uouvior , LeGrando
licrgor , Dautrcbiuo and Christophile , the
ablest of bureau heads.
The president's cortege arrived at the ex
position , escorted by a brilliant corps of
cuirassiers , whose breast plates and helmets
Hashed back the pleasant May-day sun.
The crystal tones of tlio great
clock struck two , the trumpets poured forth
their strains and the entire assembly under
the dome arose to its feet. It was a spectacle
worth remembering. The nation has sup
piled during the centuries of its mouarch.v
and empire many gorgeous spectacles foi
nrtihls to preserve , for poets to chant and foi
philosophers to discuss , but at no time since
the days of Iho great Louis were great lib
erty , moral power , beauty and democracy M
picturesquely harmonized as at tills moment ,
Conceive a great circle formed under the
dome suggestive of St. Paul's , decorations
reaching to the npcx , noble in symbolism ami
nlltibion , Iho art and literature of all
countries noted by ingenious and graceful
devices , the names of the world's greatest
emblazoned in cold letters , the various em <
blcms of civilization arranged pictorinlly
upon a segment of arches and n colossal
freizo extending entirely around the base oi
the dome composed of magnificent proccs <
sional national types of all races bearing appropriate
propriato offerings. Beneath this luminous
and rich roof nro hundreds of arm chairs
hlngle chairs and benches , all in gold
upholstering , with arms in crimson
brocade or velvet , and a dais
arrayed with heavy red draperies for the
president and his truin. ICxtending in the
lines of a parallelogram , with an endless
vlhla , through the pa'.aco ' of line arts , an
places all in red velvet , for senators ant !
deputies , Judges , heads of departments ,
chiefs of bureaus , mayors , members of the
grunt councils of tliu French academy , am
ttio Institute of Franco , the clergy and civil
functionaries.
The surprHo of the day was the presence
of all the diplomatic representatives now li

ing of the exposition , personal good-will , ami ,

After the Marscillntso had been played t\ .
a picked orchestra and sung by n chorus ol
men's ' voices , Premier Tirard rose and do
livcred the opening speech. At its closi
thu nudlenco cheered enthusiastically auO
'J'lrord was warmly congratulated.
President Carnet then rose to read lilt
upeech , His voice Is shrill , but audible. His
ttpcccli Is well thought out. Ilia perora

Kvory word is safe , prudent
plai'blblo and generous , llo has not sclw
upon n national occasion to glorify u party

ing , he has inudo no allusion to hostile gov <
erninnnts , but has spoken magnaniiuuusli
and Justly of foreign peoples. He bus nol
clorlCoil France unduly , but humanity stU
morn.
At the conclusion of tiis speech and tin
finish of the musical programme , Premden
Carnet descended /row the duls uiu
walked dowu to the i _ < m alsli
of the gallery of line arts
towards the center , whore ho toucncd several
electric buttons. In a moment the fountains
of the expositions were nil pouring fourth
their streams to the universal sunshine , and
the great engine of the machinery of the
palace was In motion. Three or four hundred
thousand people outside and Inside cheered
and every portion of the grounds of the ex
position Is open.
The exhibitors number 30,000. To-tik'ht
Paris is ablaze with illuminations , No ve
hicles nro permitted in the streets. The city
Is the people's.
The countries represented by their skill
arc , In addition to Franco and the United
States , Great Hrltaln , Austria , Hungary ,
Italy , Switzerland , Kussia , Sweden , Denmark -
mark , Norway , Holland , Belgium , Spain ,
Portugal , Greece , Uoumanla , Servln , teirypt ,
Persia , Mexico , Hrazil , the Argentine Re
public , Holtvla , Chill , Nicaragua , Venezuela ,
Guatemala , Uruguay , Paraguay , San Do
mingo , Salvador , Hayti , China , Japan , East
India , Slam , Morocco and Australasia.
The unrepresented countries nro Ger
many , nn nusenco ns Inevitable ns it is de
plorable and conspicuous , Turkey and
Montenegro. The subject matter of the ex
position comprises everything that enters
into the material of civilization. While It
may bo classified with extreme comprehen
siveness under the heads of line and Indus
trial nrts , it contains in the great grounds
the history of the universe.
The appilcatlons'for space fir exceeded the
expectations , founded on previous exhibi
tions.
The American representation is the
farthest behind. There Is not , for Instance ,
at this writinga vcstigo of our great national
educational exhibit to bo seen , nor are the
consignments sent from Individual states ,
nearly all of which are to bo presented , out
of the packing boxes. So far ns
the present indications go. the
American exhibit on the Industrial side will
bo the most impressive in gold and silver
smithing , in glassware , which hiw made a
marked sensation among the French and
Austrian glasmmikers , and in machinery.
The place duvotcd to machinery Is a magni-
flciont cdillco In which a world's congress
might sit. Its architectural beauty and the
splendor of its decorations also render it
ono of the great centers of Interest. The
chief attraction in it is Edison's display of
motors , machines and apparatus.
An Idea of the vastness of the exposition
may bo gained from the area it covers. Al
though thu exhibition buildings are closely
croupcd the total ground surface exceeds
three million square feet. The buddings
blend strength , suitability , Hchtncss and
grace in their composition. The interior
decorations surpass in olcganco of design
and richness of tone these of any structure
over put up lor similar use.
An episode , commingling the pathetic with
tno droll , occurred m the conduct of the Jury
of American artists , residing in Paris , sitting
upon the worus of art offered by Americans.
The versatile and erratic Whistler decided
to renationalizo himself. The submission of
his exposition pictures to tlio American
Jury was a surprising act of patriot
ism , which did not , however , en
counter reciprocal appreciation , and 11
number of his pictures were rejected. In
wrath ho withdrew them all and submitted
them to the IJritish Jury , where bo Is now
clnssillcd.
Tlio voner.iblc sculptor. Story , for some
reason , also fared ill at the hands of the
young Yankees. In this case kindly inter'
vcntion reversed a decision , which was alike
unwarranted and ungracious.

that General Benjamin F. Hutler had de

The admiral then quoted from ofllcial docu

"If there is any moro taliting to bo done il

There was a meeting of the Nebraska dele

room of Scnalor Mnnderson. All of Iho
dclegalion except Mr. Laird were present.
The oblcet of the meeting was to discuss the
federal appointments for the state , butowlng
to the absence of Mr. Laird no delinitenction
was taken upon anything. Nearly all of the
time was occupied in the examination and
discussion of tlio applications for land ofllccs.
It Is not believed that there will bo many
vacancies in these positions before Iho cx-
pir.ilion of the present commissions. The
llrst change is expected in the rcgistcrship
of the O'Neill olllce. After Iho meeting ,
Senator Paddock and Heprcsontalives Dor-

Laird and found him in much better health
than ho has been for several months. Ho
assured his callers that ho would bo present
at the nicotine to bo held to-morrow after

on a number of the positions. Mr. Laird ex
pects to go to Atlantic City this week for the

A. NEW l > ni'.VUTMiNT. :
An effort will bo made to revive In the
Fifty-first congress the bill providing for the
establishment of a now executive depart
ment introduced by the late Representative
Townsheml , of Illinois , in the last congress.
This bill provides for a department to bo
called Hie "department of industries and
public works , " charged with the supervision
of public business relating to agriculture ,
labor , the Improvement of rivers and har
bors , coast , feoditic and geological surveys ,
the conslruclion of public buildings and
lighlhouses , the establishment of a naval
observatory , uatenls , Iho steamboat Inspec
tion service , the interstate commission and
fish and fisheries. The now bill will not include -
cludo agriculture , of course , as thai has been
made a separate department and its bead
given a seat in tlio cabinet. It is proposed
to include in the new department the census
bureau , which will bo given a permanent es
tablishment , thus obviating the confusion
and lack of uniformity caused by the pres
ent plan of organisation of thai bureau.
Senator Cullom , of Illinois , also presented
a bill during the last congress , "for the es
tablishment of a bureau to bo known us the
bureau of harbors and waterways , and for
oilier purposes , " under the supervision of
the war department and to bo ofllcercd by
civil engineers. The country , according to
Senator Cullom's plan , is to bo divided Into
ton or eleven engineering divisions , the
river and harbor improvement of each to bo
under tliu chief of the division. Kach bill
has its supporters , and as there is a conflict
in the nutliority proposed to bo vested in the
department and the bureau , it is expected a
light will ensue and legislation bo postponed ,
if not entirely defeated.
WISDOM nurrnn.
Secretary Windoin is still confined to his
houso. He has recently moved from Iho
Holel Arne lo the residence of Mr. Gardner
Hubbard , on Connecticut avenue. His in
disposition Is of a comparatively trivial
character , although it is sufficient to keep
him away from the department , and it is not
expected thai ho will bo there to-morrow.
The secretary Is not allowing his work to
run behind , however , as ho has hi * private
secretary constantly by his side , and gets off
moro work than it would bo possible for him
to do if ho were at the department , The
reason of this is , that ho is free from the
crowds of ouleeliuntcrs who hang around his
room from 10 to 1 o'clock every day , whenever -
over ho is at his desk. His absence from the
ofllco anil from cabincl meetings will
probably delay the appointment of some of
the subordinate officials of the treasury and
will probably , unless ho recovers sufllciently
to return to his duties to-morrow , prevent
the tilling of the auditorsliipH and the two
comptrollerships , which appointmoi1 s worn
expected to bo made this week.

Frank W. Palmer , the Chicago editor who
has been nominated by puhlio opinion for the

president. Ho came , ho says , upon a tele
graphic request trom Private Secretary Hal-
ford. The president talked about almost
everything except iho posillon In question ,
discussing politics , local and general. This
evening Mr. Palmer said ho did not know
any moro In regard to Ins appointment than
he did before leaving homo. Ho dined to
day with Mrs , ClarkKon , wife of the llrst
assistant postmaster-general. When ho was
departing from the white house the presi
dent asued him to call again , and Mr. Pal
mer's friends to-night believe the appoint-
mcnt will bo made within a day or two. The
object of the president In talking to Mr.
Palmer as ho did was undoubtedly to get
acquainted with him. Besides the publio
printer , a nnmbcr of appointments are ex
pected this week. The three commissioners
for the District of Columbia are , It Is said ,
to be named. Judge Gilkinson , of Hrlstol ,

DKXvr.it , Colo. , May li. [ Special Telegram
to Tun UIK. ] At 3:30 : o'clock ' , this morning ,
ox-Aldcrmnn John H. Goodman shot and
killed a burglar. Immediately after the
shooting Mr. Goodman aroused his neigh
bors and telephoned to the pollco. The pa
trol wagon took the body to pollco head
quarters. Goodman then proceeded to the
station and gave himself Into the hands of
the officers. Ho was not placed under arrest.
Goodman said at first that ho was awak
ened by the barking of his dog. Ho poked
his head out of the window , and in the
breaking light of the morning saw n man nt
the back door , evidently trying to got into
the houso. Goodman was at an up stairs
window , and directly over the would-bo
house-breaker. He walked back to the
bureau , where his revolver lay , and then
over to the window ngaln. The man was
still there In n stooping posture , and work-
ini ; quietly. Goodman took aim and llrcd.
The burglar did not oven groan. Ho fell on
the stoop and rolled off to the ground. Tlio
shot entered Iho head Just behind the right
ear , the bullet lodging under the skin In the
right of the forehead. The dead man's
hands wore callous and somewhat chapped ,
as though he might have been engaged in
some work where mortar Is used.
Nothing was developed at the Inquest ex
cept that the man was not directly under the
window , but some distanca away , the man's
indontity , even , not being established. Ho
was a laborer and worked on the tramway
several weeks ago. Nothing further Is
known. It is belle veil by many that the so-
called burglar was simply drunk and lost his
way. Goodman is freely censured for shoot
ing him without giving warning or demand
ing an explanation after no "had the drop. "

An Ahlc-rtodlctl Chicago Sensation.
CHICAGO , May 0. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Hin. : ] The fate or whereabouts of Dr.
P. H. Cronln , well known In Irish nationalist
circles , who has been missing since Saturday
evening from bis residence , 4TO North Clark
street , Is still n mystery. Although the city
detectives , the I'lnkerton operatives and tlio
entire police of Lnko View have been workIng -
Ing unceasingly on the strauga case no fur
ther clues have been found that might lead
to n possible solution of the affair. It was
reported that Dr. Crontn was seen tills morn
ing in a saloon on the North Side , but the
rumor could not bo verified. Very few addi
tional details regarding the mysterious man
who carried Dr. Cronin nway in n buggy to
sco n patient , or the blood-stuinod trunk
found In Lake View , have been learned.
Mr. and Airs. Conklin , In whoso residence
Dr. Cronln lived , scout the idea that ho is on
a spree. They claim ho Is not n hard
drinker.
There seems to bo a desire on the part of
Cronln's friends to attribute his disappear
ance to a conspiracy of his Irish political enemies -
omios and sover.il of them throw out myste
rious hints about Alexander Sullivan , the
well-known ox-president the national
league , and his enmity to Cronln. Cronln
belonged to the "kicking" faction in the last
Chicago convention , when Messrs. O'Urion ,
Hcdmond and Deasoy were hero from Ire
land.
land.Mr.
Mr. Conklin in talking to a reporter , said :
"Oh ! the doctor was always afraid ho would
bo hurt by somebody , and ho was particu
larly afraid of Alexander Sullivan and other
members of the opposite Irish party , lie
said several times to my wife , 'If 1 lose my
life or anything happens to me , Alexander
Sullivan will bo the ono at the back of it
all. ' "
Armed with this quotation the reporter
called on Alexander Sullivan and asked him
what ho had to say. "I haven't a word to
say on that point , " replied Mr. Sullivan.
"It Is too contemptablo to notice. " Ho said
ho had not seen Mrs. Conklin's interview
and ho declined to discuss the subject. Ho
said ho had held Dr , Cronln in oontcmpt , and
he told the doctor that bo did , to his face.
For three years ho had had nothing what
ever to do with Dr. Cronin , took no interest
in that individual's person or affairs , and
know nothing of Ills comings or goings. "I
feel , " said he , "that Dr. Cronin will turn
up presently , after ho has made n sufllotont
sensation. I am not inclined to think that
he has been murdered. "
P. O'Sullivan , the ice dealer in Lake View ,
to whoso pluco it was supposed Cronin was
summoned , had , but u short time before ,
contracted with the physician to attend his
family or tiny of his employes. Ho knows
nothing of the supposed call for the doctor's
service.
A singular thiiiL' is the appearance , simul
taneous with the disappearance of Cro
nin , of a pamphlet which ho hail printed for
circulation among his friends. It is a queer
jutnblo of words and ideas. In it ho seems
to bo handed by a morbid fear of a man
whom ho does not name , but who is Alex
ander Sullh an , and tlio slightest facts , arc ,
to his mind , proof that everybody is in
league with Sullivan against him. A steno
grapher named Wilhston took the record
for a lawyer in some case in which Cronin
appeared ns a witness , and the fact that
Wllllston's ofllco is next door to Sullivan's
is pointed to as proof of a conspiracy.
Tlio pamphlet begins with the prepara
tions for the last national league convention
wnen Dr. Cronin and the "Disciples of
Force" were defeated , and n Jealousy of the
men wiio weru madu heads of that move
ment seemed to have taken possession of
him. Ho evidently hated and feared them.
It was suggested b.v n gentleman , after read
ing this pamphlet , that Cronin might have
disappeared for a tiuio in order , if possible ,
to have Alexander Sullivan suspected of
foul play toward him. The pamphlet brings
Lawyer C. M. Hardy and others into "The
Conspiracy , " which the writer said was be
ing concocted against him.

Nnvr VOKK , May 0. The llrst witness ex
amined by the senate committee which ia
investigating tlio alleged ownership , by
Can iidiiin corporations and capitalists , of
American roads , was Commissioner Fink ,
chairman of the trunk line association. Ho
explained that this association of railroads
was to arrange joint and competitive tariffs
to secure uniformity in charges and classifi
cation , and to maintain the established
tariffs. In response to a question about
the Canada Southern road , Fink said
that the road in question w.is leased by the
Michigan Central road. Fink acknowledged
that the Grand Trunk road had differential
rates for its Now England business , but said
this was not loolted upon in the light of dis
crimination for the reason that its road was
at least 100 miles longer. Continuing the
witness said the C.rand Trunk road wan
forced in a measure to subsidize the steam
ship company running to I'ortlund for the
reason Unit but one IMO ran tlit vo. If thoii
rates were not lower to that point
there would bo no freight sent
there. In answer to a question by
Chairman Cnltoui , whether lie hail any sug
gestions as to the amendments to the inter
state laws , hesaid Iho difticully is to cove *
the matter of management b.v law. Tlio ln
tor-state commerce commission should havu
discretion to ( leal with the questions that
arise and to make exceptions in certain
casea. The rates from Chicago to the sea
board points , Commissioner Fink said , word
tno Bamo whether freight stopped there ot
was exported.
To the ijuestion by Senator lliscoek as to
what would be tlio cflect to shippers if thti
dilferenti.il rate to iho Canadian roads werq
abolished , the witness said it would limply
reduce the number of lines at tliu shippers. '
command. Many points in the northwest ; ,
too , would bo hurt by the shipping of tliu
Grand Trunk road , but the great number ol
the shippers would not bo bo hurt if hull n
do/.en of the trunk lines were wiped out.
