MADRID , Feb. 13. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Sensation aad
surprise Is caused In Madrid by New York
telegrams etntlng that the American govern
ment exvectcd > norn satisfaction for the con
duct of the late Spanish minister. AccordIng -
Ing to the Spanish olllclal vcrolon , the cab
inet considers the prompt acceptance
of the resignation of De Lomo quite suffi
cient satisfaction for America , the letter
to Canalejas not being an ofllcln ] , but purely
n private act , royal decrees simply accept
ing Do Lome's resignation nnd appointing a
successor being gazetted shortly afterward.
The Spanish minister of foreign affalm , In
a note replying to the Woodford communica
tion of February 10 , will place on record
what was stated In the Interview with Wood-
forJ , namely , how much the Spanish gov
ernment regretted the conduct of De Lome ,
and Us sincere dcslro that the Incident
should not niter the present friendly rela
tions and the course of commercial nego
tiations to which the Sagasta cabinet at
taches much Importance.
For the present it ecems likely that Duke
Arcoc3 , Spanish minister to Mexico , will be
promoted to Wcslilngtcn. Ho married an
American , epeaks English and could reach
Washington rapidly. Ills credentials could
be sent immediately on his arriving at Wash
ington. All rumors about sending Spanish
Ironclads and torpedo boats to Cuban waters
are premature.

HAVANA , Feb. 13. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) There Is a
rumor that the palacu authorities have a
letter written by Consul General Leo , tfie
contents of which are as Interesting , even
ox-citing , for Spain , na Do Lome's letter to
C < inaleJ\m was for the United States. An
other rumor was set afloat that General Lee
had resigned. A strong effort Is being made
to get General Lee Into the same boat with
Do Lome. Tlio members ot the autonomist
cabinet don't like. him. Ho did not visit
them ofllclally as the real head of the gov
ernment In Cuba , so they thought to occuro
Homo private letter written by General Leo
which would give robust views of the Cuban
question. It was Itiought that General Lee's
Irankucss In conversation Insured Iho cx-
Istcnco of such missives , and the opinion
was openly expressed that General Leo
would have to go too. But as has been
cabled already General Leo has written
nothing about Cuba except In his official re
ports to the State department. Even If
some seemingly compromlslug letter from
General Leo got Into the possession of the
palace people It Is unlikely that General
Blanco would push the. affair. Ho admires
General Lee.
Do Lome's resignation Is really considered
h vo as a severe blow to Spain. The Cuban' ?
are jubilant. They Eay Spain has no other
diplomat with equal brains. Industry , pri
vate fortune and brlllladt , diplomatic wife.
They think ( hero will be fewer "senators
from Spain" In congress mow. The text of
Do Lome's letter printed hero today caused
a great stir. His candid opinion of McKln-
loy was mildly translated In the English
version circulated in the United States.
General Blanco's fiasco In eastern Cuba ,
thn postponing of the elections , De Lome' ?
retirement and the recent activity of the
Insurgents make the outlook black for au
tonomy and for Spain. The failure of the
scheme of election would be proof to alt
nations that autonomy Is dead and the gov
ernment Is naturally delaying the evil hour.
The liberal party members are either rebels
or are dead or dying of hunger , while the
. conservative party rays It will not go to the
polls , General Blanco had a very cool re
ception upon returning to Havana. Ho ap
pears disheartened. It Is expected that
these person : ) who deceive him about .tho In
surgents being willing to surrender will bo
punished. It Is paid at the palace that Gen
eral Blanco will take the Acid In eastern
Cuba ,
i.MIss Clara Barton , the head of the lied
Cross society In the United States , Is
touched by the universal misery here. She
and her assistant , Mr. Elwcll , are working
liard. They are absolutely unsupported by
. the local lied Cross , which , although a
member of the International society , nan
never extended succor to anybody but Spnn-
lah soldiers , who need It badly enough. Miss
Barton docs not core , She expects to ac
complish the mission unaided , Hotel In-
glntorra was bceleged yesterday by recon-
ccntrudos , who had heard that Miss Barton
was there with food. They were sent to the
American food dispensary. Miss Barton su
perintended the distribution yesterday ot
provisions from America at Cerro , a suburb
of Havana. She had her private secretary
take note of the hospital cases. Mr , Elwcll
Is a capable , common sense 'business ' man ,
who will stop all possible leaks In the dis
tribution of American charity. Ho knows

street several weeks ago , died today In aNew
Now Albany canltarlum. Ho was taken to
the Institution a week ago to undergo treat
ment them , but his vitality had become so
law that ttio manager of the saniUrlum did
not think It advisable to glvo him any treat
ment other than to relieve tils pain by the
use of the drug to the use of which he
was addicted. His body was almost one
mass of sores caused by the use of the hypo
dermic needle , there being ICO abscesses on
him when he died. These abscesses brought
on pyaemia , which caused his death ,
Mis.1 ! Cora DeVollo , who was taken to the
New Albany sanitarium with her father ,
has been steadily Improving , and her phy
sician feela certain that eho will recover
her health. Wealthy and Influential friends
of her father , who reside In this city , have
taken her caoo In hand , and they will care
for tier after her recovery.
Dr. Dovolle was for years a prosperous and
highly respected physician until wrecked by
the morphine and cocaine habits. He was an
Italian by birth , was highly educated and
accomplished and epoko many languages
with great fluency. His learning no less
than the mystery of his life , which no
doubt died with him , was a constant source
of wonder to those who wcro thrown In con
tact with him , Ho came to thld city right
after the war , though ho Is said to have
been In Louisville during the war as a con
federate spy.
( Many strange stories have been told con
cerning him , especially since attention has
been called to the sad ending of what once
promised to bo a brilliant career ,
U has been said that ho was a political
exile , that ho killed a man In a duel In his
youth , and other theories have been ad
vanced to account for his reticence concernIng -
Ing his early life.

PHILADELPHIA , Feb. 13. The Press wll
print tomorrow what It asserts to be the
true version of the acquisition and publlca
tlon of the letter from Mr. do Lome to Scnor
Cannlcjns. The authority cited for Its ou
thcntlclty Is "A Cuban of the highest eland
Ing In the councils of ills party , " who re
ceives his Information "from headquarters
In Now York. " The story proceeds to say !
"Tho letter was not stolen from the Unltci
StatcH malls , but was secured by an ogcnt o
the Cuban Junta In the postofilco at Havana
Don Jose Caimlejas , to whom the letter was
addressed , never saw the original , Ho dli
not know until eight days after the letter
reached Havana that such a letter from
Spain's representative at Washington hai
been written him.
"Do Lome wrote the letter In his private
residence at Washington , Instead of at the
Spanish legation. The paper , however , was
marked with the olllclal typo and read In the
cot nor 'Legation do Espana. ' The same In
scription wan upon the left hand upper cor
ner of the envelope.
"Scnor do Lome did not mall the letter
from his house. In fact be had not quite
completed It upon the morning It was writ
ten , and carried It to the legation , where It
was llrst seen and noticed by a person who
Is In the employ of the embassy , acting In
a sub-olllclal capacity. The letter lay on
the desk of the minister In his Inner olllce
the outer ofllco being his place of reception
to visitors. During an absence of half an
hour 'from the Inner otllco of Do Lome the
clerk In question saw the open letter and
read some of It.
NOTIFIES THE JUNTA.
"The next day this same person sent word
to hlo Cuban associates in Washington t < ;
the effect that ho had seen n letter from
Do Lomo to Canalejas In which President
McKlnley was vilified and autonomy called
a scheme. Several of the Cuban leaders got
together and asked the employe of the em
bassy to secure the letter. They did not
believe his story , although ho urged them
to como Into the public print and make
charges against Do Lome. Because they did
not have the letter In their possession the
leaders refused to pay anything about It.
The employe of tlio legation 'was urged to
use all means In his power to secure the
loiter , although It was considered probable
that the letter was already In the malls
when the Cubans at the Hotel Raleigh were
Informed of Its existence.
"Tho clerk In the employ of Minister do
Lome saw no more cf the letter. His mcm-
ory-wrlttcrj abstracts were sent to New York ,
and It was agreed that could possession of
the letter bo obtained and his statements
proven to bo true the letter would bo of
Incalculable value to the Cubans as sub
stantiating what Cuban leadcra had main
tained regarding autonomy and the general
Spanish policy In official circles toward this
country nnd Its officers. Immediately words
of warning and urglngs to bo on the alert
were sent to every Cuban who might bo In
a position to obtain track of or Intercept the
much ijcught for missive.
MAKES A COPY OF IT.
"The letter reached Havana five days after
Its postmark In Washington. An agent of
the 'Cuban party who Is nn employe of the
Spanish postolllco knew that the letter was
on the way and when it came Into his hands
It was carried from the postolllco and a copy
was iTiado of It.
"Word to this effect was sent to the Cuban
Ic-aOcr In Jacksonville , Fla. , who at once
asked the secret Cuban Junta In Havana to
secure the original letter that a copy waa
not what was desired.
"The Havana postollice clerk was not will
ing to do this , but afterward consented , as
ho was obliged to account for a certain
number of letters. The original was then
taken , several blank sheets substituted in
place of the paper on which Do Lomo had
written and the letter finally postmarked
In the Havana pcatoinco and sent on Its
routine way.
"Eight days after Its arrival In the Ha
vana ofllco the scaled envelope , properly ad-
drcs'sed to Scnor Canalejas , was delivered
at the Hotel Inglaterra. Scnor Canalejas
did not regard the matter seriously at the
time , although the hotel boy who brought
him the letter and the postofllce employe
who had charge of It were arrested. So also
was the hotel employe who went several
times dally to the postolllco for the malls.
TJio three wcro discharged after an exam
ination , <
"Scnor Canalejas communicated almost
Immediately with Minister de Lome , and
for several weeks letters and cablegrams
passed between the two , but no trn e of the
letter could bo obtained. Canalejas shortly
thereafter left Havana , going to Madrid.
"It Is not explained why the letter was
kept by the Cubans for several weeks be
fore It was given out for publication.
"An Informant other than the person who
gave the foregoing , but who Is on the in
side In Cuban olHclal circles , claims that
the delay was caused on the part of the
Junta , which wished to bo assured that the
writing \uis that of the Spanish minister , so
that ho might have no chance to deny Its
authorship and cause a reaction , which
would undoubtedly have been the result of
the propagation of a fake. "

JACKSONVILLE , Fla. , Feb. 13. A spe
cial to the Times-Union and Citizen from
Tampa says :
Almost under the nose of Edward ( Jaylor ,
superintendent of I'lnkerUm's Spanish
spies , a large Cuban expedition left Tampa
last night and tonight sailed from a Point
on Peace river. The men , about Jlfty In
number , walked through the streets of
Tampa about 2 o'clock this morning and
jojpjcd a special train which quickly bore
them to a point near where they were to
embark and there they remained In hiding
until tonight when a tug took them out to
the steamer which bore them away to Cuba ,
Colonel Emilia Nunez being In char Jo of
.ho steamer. It Is said General Bangxillly Is
the real commander and color Is given this
rumor by the fact that when the men left
: iero they were In charge of Colonel Le-
cbuga , who was first lieutenant of the per
sonal staff selected by Sangullly when he
'ailed to get away from Jacksonville. Super-
ntendcnt Oaylor , his son and another PluTi-
erton man. have been here looking for San
gullly , they believing he was somewhere
near. It Is alleged that tlio Cubans have
sent Sangullly away on tlil/j < rlp to get rid
of him In the United States ,
It Is understood 5,000 rifles , C,000 pounds
of Dynamite , 00,000 rounds of cartridges
and a largo lot of supplies made up the
cargo.

Woodford Saturday night , was translated at
the State department today , but no Intima
tion of Its Import "could be secured from
official sources. Assistant Secretary Day ,
who has been entrusted with the whole cor
respondence by the president , refused to dis
cuss the message. He cald simply there
were no developments * that could bo made
public at this time. '
To urgent appeals for something definite
the president replied through Secretary Porter
ter that the whole tnatlcr was In Secretary
Day's hands and that the president relied
on him to handle the Information for the
press. t
It was stated nt the White House , how
ever , that there was no truth In the re
port of a censure on Minister Woodford for
allowing Dupuy de Lome to forestall him In
presenting the application for the minister's
recall.
'Minister ' AVoodford's course had been en

bo ascertained positively whether or not an

John P. St. John , the cx-prohlbltlci gov

BO sharply that he was compelled to retreat
under flre. The demonstration which fol
lowed -vuas one of the ( liveliest ever wit
nessed In Olathe , the center ten years ugo
of the original package excitement.
Three local druggists had filed petitions
with the probate Judge asking for permis

signatures of twenty-five pacn and a like
number of women of the 'ward ' In which 'ho
store is to locate. One'ot the druggists cot
ox-Governor St. JohD 'lo sign his petition ,
This stirred up the "Women's Christian Tem
perance ualon as never before , and a mass
meeting was called this afternoon. The
church was crowded. Senator Parkqr , the
first speaker , called upon Mr. St. Jolim to ex
plain why he so prominent nnd iiblo a
leader and temperance advocate had , after
so many years of prohibition in the city ,
signed the petition.
Mr. St. John's expknatlon was that ho
wanted liquor sold only by the druggists.
In en in&tant the housa was in an uproar
and heated questions were thrust at prohi
bition's champion from every quarter of the
house. The questions finally came no thick
and fast that no snsivers could be given and
the ex-govermor retired !
Judge Hlndman delivered a heated speech ,
declaring that upon such qucaticns the
Women's Christian Temperance union had al
ways been right , and at this time he would
follow under their wise leadership , Instead
of following the "Inexcusable course" of St.
John. At this utterance a veritable storm
of applause broke forth. Others could not

WHERE HONOR OF ITS ORIGIN BELONGS
Ctnliuaiiti for the Credit Come Fnnt to

Bee Yearn mill
I Years AK .
There has been a great deal of talk , lately ,
about the "mystery" which Is said to on-
vclopo the origin of the Transmleslcslppt and
International Exposition. Numerous claims
have been made by various parties to the
honor of being the first to conceive the Idea
of holding a great exposition at Omaha ,
which should exhibit to the world the re
sources of the great west. These claims
have been especially numerous since It has
become apparent that the exposition Is to bo
a most gigantic affair and a credit to the
originator. There nro fully a score of men
In Omaha who can relate authentic Incidents
showing where and when they conceived the
Idea thnt a great exposition should bo held
In Omaha and their claims are supported by
circumstantial evidence thnt loaves little
room for doubt as to their correctness , so
that all that remains Is to establish their
relative dates nnd forever settle the con-
tioversy , on the theory that the man who
first mentioned the matter and continued to
advocate It Is unquestionably entitled Ic- the
honor of being the originator.
The greater number of claimants for the
honor of being the progenitor of the enter
prise base their claims upon Incidents oc
curring just prior to the passing of the reso
lution by the TransmlssUalppl congress ,
which called the exposition Into being. Some
of these claims antedate the congress by a
few days or a few weeks. Among these lat
ter arc ex-Mayor Bctnls , n. W. Illchardson
and L. II. Bradley. The two latter were ap
pointed by Mayor Bemls as delegates to the
meeting of the Trnnsmlsslsslppl Commercial
congress which was held In St. Louis in ISO !
and were responsible for the selection of
Omaha as the place for the meeting In 1S95.
It was through the efforts of Mayor Bemls
nnd these two delegates that the Commercial
club was Induced to take hold of the matter
of making preliminary arrangements for the
meeting of the congress In Omaha. In No
vember , 1S95 , just before the congress com
menced to assemble , the Idea ot working up
a sentiment among the members In favor of
an exposition was discussed by these three
and each Is positive that ho made the first
suggestion.
suggestion.WALSH'S
WALSH'S EARLY IDEA.
James Walsh Is another aspirant for the
honor of being the originator of the ex
position. He was a delegate to the congress
end In a caucusof Nebraska delegates the
day the congress met ho suggested the In-
troductlen of a resolution providing for an
exposition at Omaha , the buildings to bo
permanent and the show to be held once
every five years. This suggestion finally
culminated In the preparation of the resolu
tion , which was finally adopted by the con-
grcao , but the permanent features suggested
by Walsh were eliminated.
At the last mcuthly banquet ofthe Com
mercial club President Wattles of the expo
sition said he had concluded , upm Investiga
tion , that Dudley Smith was entitled to the
honor of originating the exposition , as ho
had suggested an exposition at Omaha while
gazing upon the beauties of the California
Midwinter fair at Sen Francisco during the
winter ot 1S93-04.
The ! claim at once disposed of the later
claims of Walsh , Illchardson ct al , although
Waliah charges that Dudley Smith was nor a
member of the delegation to the Commercial
congress and had absolutely nothing to say
at that time about an exposition at Omaha
and took no part In the discussion. Whether
this bo true or false matters not , for the
rcascn thnt before the sound of President I
Wattles' voice had died out , after giving
Smith the credit , Secretary Wakefield ot the
exposition put In a claim which ante-dated
that of Smith. Secretary Wahefiold related
how , at the World's fair. In August , 1S93 , he
was standing on the Midway Plalsancc , talk-
lag with Allen B. Smith , Frank Brown and
two or three other Omaha men , and the sug
gestion was made by some of the party , ho
lj vncertaln by whom , that an exposition
would bo a great thing for Omaha ; that it
would pull the money to the west Instead
of allowing It all to go cast.
EARLIEST OF THEM ALL.
In tno absence of any further showing
this would entitle Secretary Wakefield , or
some other member of the llttlo party on the
Midway at Chicago , to the palm , but all of
these claims are swept aside by a claim
which Is several years older than the oldest
of them cad The Omaha Bco stands 03 the
originator and consistent oxpenenl of the
exposition Idea as relates to Omaha ,
The claim of The Bee datea more than
ten yeara prior to the meeting of the Trar.B-
mlsjlsslppl Commercial ronp.rcFS In Omaha
at which the exposition \raa given form , aud
the files of The Bee demonstrate the fact
that to The Bee aad Its editor belongs the
credit.
The Nebraska State fair was held In
Omaha from 1880 to 1884 , Inclusive , .but was
removed to Lincoln after the fair ot 1SS4.
At the tlmo of this removal there was a
spirited controversy over the action ot the
State Board of Agriculture In taking the
fair from this city and a series of editorials
appeared In The Bco at that time , taking
the position that the fair , as then conducted ,
was of no particular advantage' to the city
and advocating the establishment at Omaha
of a permanent exposition. There were a
number of these editorials , appearing from
tlmo to tlmo during tlio early part of 1885.
The first appeared In The Bee of January
22 , 1BS5 , Immediately after the meeting of
the State Board of Agriculture at which It
was decided to move the fair to Lincoln , und
was as follows :
I TUB STATE FAIR.
The State Board of Agriculture has de
rided to locate the Nebraska Statft fair at
Lincoln for the next live years. While Lin
coln may congratulate herself upon her vic
tory , wo do not hesitate to express our grat
ification over the action of the board.
Omaha has outgrown all such artificial
props as the State fair. She has the loca
tion , wealth and population for a permanent
Interstate exposition. Instead of contribut
ing toward the enlargement , maintenance
nnd repair of Iho buildings on the fair
grounds she -may as ' ell dcvoto her money
nnd roHOiircCB toward permanent exposition
building ! * , Just ns Chicago and other cities
h'avo done , The Driving Park association
should at once bo merged Into nn exposi
tion society , whoso business It will bo to
provide the wuya and means for collecting
nnd exhibiting not merely the farm prod
ucts of the Missouri valley , but the products
of our factories , packing houses , mills nnd
browerles. "With the great cattle Interests
centering at our union stock yards , It will
bo an easy mutter to organize tin Intcr-
Htato cattle Khcrv In connection with the
exposition , -where the rtock raisers of
Wyoming , Colorado , Nebraska , Iowa nnd
'Missouri may compete and participate. The
cattle brought to Omaha for the exposition
may bo marketed on the ground nnd the
owners will , therefore- , hove a double In-
centlvo In bringing them here.
It la afo to predict that an Interutatn ex
position such u n wo have outlined will not
only bo attended by thousands of Ne-
hniulcuia wihero hundred * only would at
tend the State fair , but It will draw large-
numbers of people 'from all the surrounding
states and territories.
The efforts of The Bee to establish an ex
position In Omaha wcro not relaxed after
the series of editorials referred to , but sim
ilar editorials appeared In tbo paper at In

and suggestions were In favor of an later-

to George W. Llnlngcr , ea well as other
people of prominence In Omaha , who recall

A POINTER TO THE JtySMTTEE.
llcfore the committee d7& flu by the
Commercial club , which hv > - ? * Brt on the
location of the proposed IVCj flck and ex
position grounds , takes AH It would bo
well to consider the ndv HH nnd feas
ibility of lunation on one oFTfRi tracts re
cently purchased for park purposes. Take ,
for Instance , Miller park , which has ns yet
not been materially Improved nnd cannot
be made available ns n competitor of Him-
scorn park , Elmwood park or Hlvervlew
park for years. Miller park Is almost level
nnd eould be readily converted Into a driv
ing park , besides affording abundant space
for exposition purposes. If there Is any
need for .additional ground on either side It
can be secured by the rlpht of eminent do-
innln through fie park commission at n fair
price. The probabilities are , however , that
no additional grounds will be needed , except
for railway approaches. The roadway from
the city to Miller park Is n boulevard and If
It was desirable the street railway would
be extended from the fort to nny point ml-
jacent to the exposition grounds. All the
railroads cnn wltnotit a very heavy outlay
extend tracks to points within easy reach.
Quite apart from the advantage to be de
rived from the fact that the city already
owns this park and no taxes will ever be col
lectible thereon , there Is the further In
centive that all Improvements can be made
with n view to n permanent exposition or
n zoological garden on the plan of Philadel
phia and Cincinnati. Thnt would form tin
attraction all the year nround and Justify
the acquisition. In its present aspect Miller
jnrk appears to bo a municipal tree nursciy
which can only be made nn attractive park
by the expenditure of hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
To expend money on leased ground Is a
reckless waste , besides being n barrier to
the erection of sightly and substantial ex
position buildings. The fact Is every build
ing for public use should bu constructed
with a view to stability nnd permanency.
Kvcn If Omaha should not get the state
fair this project Is feasible nnd would
eventuate In nn interstate exposition of the
first magnitude.
Tfio opportunity for putting the exposition
Idea Into practical execution was presented
when the session of the Tratwmlsslsalppl
Commercial congress was about to bo hold
In Omaha In November , 1893. This oppor
tunity was taken advantage of and on the
Sunday preceding the meeting of the con-
greso. when many of the delegates wcco In
the city and when the congress was the sub
ject of much discussion , the following edi
torial appeared in The Sunday Dee of No
vember 25 , ISfKi :
A TIIANSMISSISSIPPI EXPOSITION.
The. construction of the transcontinental
railroads' gave the llrst powerful Impetus to
the development of the transmlssl.sslppl
country. Twenty-flvo years ago the pcpula-
tlon of the states and territories west of the
Mississippi was C.4S3.1G7 , nnd the states and
territories west of the Missouri were cred
ited by thi > national census with a popula
tion of 1,4.12.SUu. In IKM-tho traiiBinlHslst < ll > pl
states contained n population1 of 1,1,170.31 , " ,
v.'hllo the population of the states and ter
ritories west of the Missouri aggregated 5-
917.213 : In 1SGO there wcro only twenty-one
miles of railroad in the country west of the
Mississippi. Today the railroad mllengo In
the same region exceeds C.1.CCO miles , of
which ! 57. < WO miles are boasted by the coun
try west of the Missouri.
The marvelous resources of this vast om-
plro were only In n. measure displayed nt
the World's Columbian exposition. In fact ,
the exhibits of the western states nnd terri
tories were to a great extent overshadowed
by the. International exhibits made nt Chi
cago. Of the hundreds of thousands of people
plo who viewed the World's fair compara
tively fci.v carried away with them a dis
tinct Impression of the productive Indus
tries of the transmlsslsslppl state * . Even
people who live In this section and who have
contributed to Its KTOA th do not grasp their
extent and magnitude.
The inspiration for the Cotton States' ex
position now belnc held In Atlanta doubt
less lav In the conviction that nn Interstate
exposition would go further toward promot
ing the development of the south than nny
other single agency. That the Judgment of
the projectors of the Cotton States' exposi
tion was eminently sound Ii attested by the
success that has attended this great under
taking ns regards' ' both the number and
variety of the exhibits and the financial
management of theventure. . Not only have
the people of the cotton Plates dlpplayed
commendable zeiil In contributing toward
Its success with displays , but several of the
Atlantic- plates , notablv Now York and
Pennsylvania , are creditably represented.
The Atlanta exposition hns drawn hundreds
of thousands of visitors from every section
of the country and will be the. agency by
lA'lilch a vast amount of new capital will bo
transplanted Into the south.
"What hns been accomplished for the south
bv the Atlanta exposition cnn be accom
plished for the west by n Transmlpslsslppl
Exposition , With a T cpulntlon of ir.OOO.fiOH
to draw on and a country prolific In .material
( wealth , a Transmlsslpflppl Exposition
would bo nn assured 5iiccess from Itn very
Inception. Such nn exposition would glvo
the Impetus to thn westward tre-nd of pop
ulation nmU capital fen which the people of
this section have been striving. It would
make known to all the world the capabilities
of the west nnd revive activity In every
branch of Industry nnd production.
The Transmli'slBslppI congress , which con
venes In this rlty during the present week ,
IH the proper body to take the Initiative In
formulating the p'ans for a Tmnsmlssls-
elppl Exposition. Itn recommendation In this
matter i.vould have great weight with both
the state and national legislatures. With
out disparaging any other city ambitious
to secure thn location of mich an Interstate
exposition , The Iteo believes thnt the claims
of Omaha nrn far superior to thosn of all
other transmlsslsslppl points. Its location
In the heart of the continent , midway be
tween New York nnd San Francisco , makes
It nllko accessible to people east and west.
Its railroad facilities In every direction nro
ns perfect as those of nny city In the Mis
sissippi valley north of St. I ouls. It Irt thn
center of iho gre-at agricultural belt nnd
within a day'H reach , by rait , of Iho mining
region of Colorado , Wyoming and South Da
kota , nnd within two days reach of the
great mining states west of the Rockies.
Omaha la as near to the Puget sound coun
try as IH fit. Paul and nearer bv WW miles
to Sari Francisco and southern California.
It Is hnrdly necessary to add thnt what
ever Is required of Omaha or pledged for
Omaha to make the TranHmlsBlsslppl Ex
position a success , the buslncn * men of this
city will carry out to tinletter. .

and look at a display of photographs which
ho had gathered , Henchlng the Holland

the elevator and gave orders to have them
ohown to the parlor , he returning to the

On entering the elevator Mrs. Levy placed
her hand upon her forehead and complained
of dizziness to her compculons. Ileforo they
could reply the elevator boy had cloned the
door of the shaft , gripped bis lover and the
car shot up with a bound. Almost at the

with her head out of the door. The elevator
waa about an Inch and a half from tbo walls

In this city of fitty-fivo representatives of
tcxtllo unions In > N'tw England It was unani
mously voted to recommend thnt all union *
call utit 'the operatives In every cotton mill
In New England.
The meeting was practically the outcome
of the recommendation which President
( tampers made to the Federation of Labor
last Sun-Jay. In which ho urged the different
unions to unite on some settled policy re
garding the mill situation In New England.
At that meeting a committee of four was
appointed to take charge of the matter and
after a conference this committee recom
mended that n general meeting bo held to
tnko definite action. Today the representa
tives of the various national textile asso
ciations assembled In the Wells Memorial
hall and for four hours discussed the situa
tion from eve.ry standpoint.
The primary object of the meeting was to
dovlso bomo method of rendering assistance )
to the New Hcdford strikers. It Was
pointed out today that If the strikers at
New iHedford could hold out for four weeks
without receiving more than " 0 cents pen
operative per week in the way of outsldo
assistance other mill operatives could stand
a similar strain and that If all went out It
would precipitate a crisis that would have
to bo met within a short time by the man
ufacturers. It was also shown that the inulo
spinners were In excellent condition ns re
gards funds , 'that ' the United Textile Work-
cis and the New ( England Federation ot
Weavers were also In good shape , but that
the rest were short of funds. The situation ,
was canvassed fully and at length the mat
ter was put to a vote , no one being regis
tered against the motion that the different
unions should order a general strike la
every cotton mill In 'New ' England until sat
isfactory adjustment of wages could bo ar
ranged.
It now remains for the various national
unions to take action on the recommenda
tion , but what this action will be U a mat
ter of conjecture. If all should acquiesce
cad vote to strike , 147,000 operatives would
undoubtedly cease work and the manufac
ture of cotton goods throughout Now Bug-
land would bo at a standstill. If , on the.
other hand , only a few unions should veto
to etrike the refusal of the other would still
keep a large portion of the mills in opera-
ticn.
Inasmuch , however , 03 the meeting waa
the outcome of President Gompcra' sugges
tion and as he admonished the members oC
the FoJcratlon of Labor to Join hands and
assist the Now Hcdford striken ? , It ceema
probable that aearly every unlcu will carry
out the recommendations , nnd that one of the

NEW B'EDFOUO ' , Mass. , Feb. 13. From
the point of view of the Now Bedford
strikers , the action taken by the conference
of textile unions In Ilcaton today Is scarcely
likely to bo received with Joy , Inasmuch ns
It Is against the policy adopted at the moot-
In SB of the executive committee of the Na
tional Spinners uulon , to-wlt , that New Ued-
ford should bo made the battleground iuul
until the conclusion of the utrlko Jicro tlio
other tcxtllo centers should remain at work ,
thereby acquiring the means to assist the
Now Bedford operatives In their struggle.
Then at the conclusion of Now Bedford's
fight , the plan was that whether Now Hod-
ford won or lost , the strike against the gen
eral reduction should bo extended In one dis
trict at a tlmo until the whole of New Eng
land has been covered.
In view of tills plan , which seemed to
meet with general usqulcscenco , the action
of the committee , It would seem , Is a direct
change of tactics. The delegates to the con
ference will report the now plan to their
several unions for their consideration and
although the Boston conference adjourned ,
without date , It Is presumed that after action
Is taken by the unions , another conference
will , bo called to take action In connection
with the action of the unions.
Secretary Cunnano ot the general strlko
council reports on the collections received ,
up to 9 p , m. Saturday. The total for the
week was (1,475 ( , as against $1,345 for the
