Previous estmates of the total number f exhibits at the National Corn exposition I must perforce be revised. Elr thousand Is the total Industrial axhlblts which has been given out, but this falla to take ac count of the junior exhibits which will adi another (.000 Horns to the total. Mbrever, In quality aa well, , the Juvenile cor growers will not be . thrown In the shade by their elders, 'There are junior for associations In many states and of these Nebraska Is easily first. This Is not a matter, how ever, for any great resultant state pride, because the Nebraska association la one of thr first, m the nd perfected organisation earlier. Also proximity to tha corn exposition has naturally generated en thusiasm. Tha factor ot proximity cannot be said, however, to bo of great Importance when the corn show ar a whola Is con sidered far 'delegates and representatives from the- most remote states are as en thuiaatlo and making good exhibits as the states commonly supposed to be the center of the cqrn belt. E. E. Bishop, slate superintendent of education-elect, " has the general direction of much of the junior exhibits and he is happy over the showing which Nebraska schools and counties are making.. From York, alone, 1,000 exhibits are to come nd Sarpy and Hamilton counties to name only two others, will send exhibits by the hundred. A. E. Hildebrand, principal of the Gretna schools, is at the exposition with the aav eral hundred . exhibits of corn raised by the school children who are under his upnrvlalon. County Superintendent Collins of Sarpy Is nnother man here on a similar errand and likewise Miss Alice Florer and '. F. Feemaster, principal of Bradshaw nd Miss Stoker of the same tlwn. Har rison county, Iowa is one of the Hawkeye counties which will be moat strongiy repre sented In the Junior showing of that state. Ten ears of first-class corn were en tered In the eastern sweepstakes at the corn exposition yesterday by A." P. Berry of Gardner, Mo. This corn was grown from seed corn In central Illinois and the exhibit is another nail in the coffin of the claim that seed corn can not' be shipped over fifty miles and planted with success. Seed grown In the same part of Illinois has been shipped to Florida and Oregon, aa well as Maine and successful results obtained there also.

Now, my near Mr. FouUe, i nave an swered in deml your questions and tne stuieinents of the News. I ou are quite wel come to print my answer, out 1 must irankly and that I don't think any good will come from doing so. Mr. IMavan Smith is a conspicuous offender agalnsi the laws or honostey and tiuthtulneas, but be doea not stand alone. He occupiea, for Instance, the aaiyie evil eminence with auch men as Mr. Lalian of the New York Sun, editoiials of whose paper you or others have from time to time called CD. ray at tention just aa you have called to my at tention these editorials of the Indianapolis Mews. I never see an editorial in any one of these or similar paper unless for some reaaoa It Is sent to me by you or somebody else, and of the editorials thus sent me there Is hardly one which does not contain some wilful perversion of the truth. For example, I have Just made public the fol lowing statement concerning a tiasue of ut terly falsge statements which appeared ID Mr. Laffan's paper, the Sun: "' As the New x orK Bun storv entitled Roosevelt and Prairie OH" haa seemed ta deceive a number of people, the following statement was made public about It: as soon as tne storv was brouvht to President Roosevelt's attention he not only railed for reports cmoernlug the state ments from the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior but alsi communicated wllh ex-gerretarv Hitchcock. so as to be euro that the pres d-nt s recol lrtv was not at fault. The story It false In every particular, from beglnil to end. Not only la there no such report In the Department of Justice, and n-sver haa been, but no suoh report was evei made. In granting the franchise of the Prairie OU and Gas comoanv the president simply approved the recommendation of Mr. Hitchcock, submitted to him Weclselv as all other recommendations were suh- mmea. moreover, in every case referring to the granting of franchises or the adop tion of regulations as regards oil and pas franchises in Oklahoma and Indian Terr!, tory, th preT3ent ur Proved the recom mendation of Secretary Hitchcock, with the exception of one small and unimportant grant to a Delaware Indian, to whom the iseiawar inaiana, in reeognltirn of f;M years of service to tho tribe, had - d In council a fee of t".v, which he le dined to accept, and who wns gl ce the usual amount of lt,nd.

ASSfl POVOLA 8lt IIA1TIEN ARMY IN CAPll. Nord Alexis, Depoted President of Hayti, Leavei for Kisg-tton. DISCITLINE IS MAINTAINED General Slmn's rnaltlna is Very Strong and lie Will "'lJkely I'rorlnlm Himself Pres ident. TORT AtT PH1NCE, Deo. 6. The revolu tionary army, R,CA) strong, marched Into Port Au Prince at 8 o'clock . yesterday morning. General Antonio Simon was at Its head, and he was given an ovation by tho peoplo of the city. The entrance of the soldiers was orderly and discipline la being malntnlnrd. General Muion was recelvd at the out skirts of the city by a d.Jegntlon from the committee on public safety. " Tli welcome of the people was afllclally con veyed to him and he was oCiered a mag nificent crown of palms. Accompanied by hla personal escort and followed by a large crowd, crying, "Long live th presi dent," the general made his way to ihe cathedral, whero he assisted at td cele bration of a "Te Drum." Upon emerging from the cathedral the ovation In honor of the successful ' revo lutionary leader was redoubled. The bells of the city rang out and the drums and trumpets sounded tho salute that Is uied only to welcome tho chief executive of the Haytlen republic. After leaving th church General Simon -mad a tour of Port au Prince, accompanied by his es cort, and still cheered oy the rropla wherever he went. Tho popular bcllel was that he would go directly to tin national palace and establish ' hlmsell there, but on the contrary the general finally halted at a private house on th Champ de Mars, where he established his headquarters. General Simon's position undoubtedly Is very strong and there la great likeli hood of his proclaiming himself presi dent of the republic. If he takes such a step, however, there ls'every reaaon to believe that General Leconte at . Cape Haytlen, General Flrmln at Oonaives and General Fouchard at Gencrmle, all as pirants to the presidency, will enter a vigorous protest and that an outbreak of civil warfare will follow. The hope of peace reats In the holding of tree elections and It Is believed that General Simon recognises the wlndom of such a policy. ; Th rebel army bua occupied tha various barracks. It consists - of In fantry and cavalry. The latter branch Is commanded by. a son of General Simon. Nord Alexis, tho deposed president, ac companied by the mtwiibers of his tntour age, left the French cruiser Duguay Troulti today and transferred to tho German steamer Sarnia. This vessel will take him to Kingston, Jamaica. ', There has been a msrkud Improvement In the rat of exchange since th Alexis government was thrown out, and the pop ulation is very jubilant over the ameliora tion. Th commltte of public safety has been dissolved and General Simon has named a commission to carry on the affairs of the city. Throughout the day General Simon fwas acclaimed on every hand by the crowds. In conversation with the senators and deputies who are now here the revolution ary leader said that he would accept the decision of the national' assembly which had his permission to vote freely on tho matter of a president " to' ' sucoeed Nord Alexis, If It was possible to secure a quorum. This declaration ' on the part of General Simon Is accepted generally as be ing sincere, but his officers are urging nil '3' to assume the office himself and taka co: trol of the 'government. General Colcou is , still a resident of tha French legation and the people are furious. Th legation here is strongly guarded by a detachment of marines. General Flrmln Enroote. General Anteno Flrmln arrived her to day on the Hamburg-American - steamer Virginia from St. Thomas. He has with him sixty followers and Is bound for Port Au Prince. He declared that ha will sue ced Nord Alexis as president. Th Vir ginia will sal) for Kingston, Jamaica, to morrow.
