President Loubet the Chief Feature of the Imposing Show Confusion in Many Departments The Ametl can Building a Disappointment. Immense Crowds of Guests Swarm the Thoroughfaies. Puils, Apt II 13. The exposition of 1900 was opened on Satin dav, but It will be at least a month before any thing but buildings Is to be seen. Th" ceiemonles weie a peculiar mlxtute of sumptuous splendor In the Salles Des Ketes and wldespieatl confusion and unteadlness elsewheie. Nothing could huve exceeded the pic turesque stage setting In the beautiful building in which the Inaugural cere monies weie held, the gorgeous uni forms of the diplomats and soldi"' s. the splendid orchestra and chorus anil tlie niagnitlceiil effect produced by t n grand stair-case up which Presllfit Loubet proceeded to view the etp.'s. tion, lined with some iOO picked men of the republic guards. Fourteen thousand guests had been invited to the function, and thev ha I because of the line weather, onlv the. dust to enduie. The afternoon wns a holiday In Paris by general consent and a host of country people crowded Into tlie city to swell tho multitudes The Immense number of guests prac tically swept the central streets clean of cabs, of which an unbroken stream, several deep, drifted slowly towatds tho gates between noon and 2.30 p. m Drifted Is the correct expression for the rate of pi ogress, because the traf fic arrangements were so inadequate that hundreds of vehicles did not reach the exposition at all. The ceremonial within the Salles Des Fetes was sim plicity Itself. The reception to Presi dent Loubet at the entrance lasted but a few seconds and on reaching tlie ptesldentlal platform, AI. Mlllerand, the minister of commeice. immediately delivered his address, handing over the exposition to the chief of state, which address was couched In most eloquent terms and lead In a lesonant voice. Iie.ud throughout the vast hall. M. Mlllerand's peroration wns especially Une and it hi ought forth a storm of plaudits. He was followed by Piesi dent Loubet. On the conclusion of President Lou bet's speech the procession fotmed and amid the strains of "La Mnrchc Ilerolque." tendered by the republican band, proceeded across the Salles Des Fetes between a hedge of guards with fixed bayonets to the grand stair-case, which the party ascended. President Loubet then enteicd the salon of honor, whcie the ceremony of presentation of commissioners ot foreign nations was gone through. Americans Salute Loubet. This salon Is the locale of the Atneil can electilcal exhibit, and here a body of fifty American guatds was drawn up. They saluted President Loubet. Tlie presidential cortege then descend ed Into the grounds. He was cheered throughout the progress to the bildge d'Lena President Loubet and the fot elgn commtssloneis entered the first barge at tho bridge d'Lena and the en tourage followed In the other four. Beaching the American paUlion, the Stars and Stilpes wore dipped fiom the flacstaff and two American mailncs, stationed oneon each side of the Wash ington statue waved a til-color, whlln the crowd of Americans gatheied on the embankment in ft out of the pavil ion gave Loubet a ringing eheei. Tho president was greatly pleased at this little courtesy, and turning to Ambas sador Porter, who was beside him on the boat, he temarked: "Tlie Ameil uun always does right; this is a mag nificent building." To many visiting Amei leans, how ever, our national pavilion Is a distinct disappointment, It is pretentious al most overpoweilng, with Its big dome and startling fiescoes over the en trance, but It compaies unfavorably with the beautiful buildings of even smaller powers, like Italy, Spain and Austii.i, which are its neighbois along the Seine. Tlie boats leached Alexaudei bridge. wheie the paitv landed. They ttav eised the bildge, after admit Ing the vista up the esplanade of the Holt'l 1 Des Invalldes In one dliectlon and through the new avenue Nicholas III. 1 In the other. Along tlie latter tho piesident ptoceeded until he reached tho Champs Klysees. wheie the party entered cairiages and, escorted by Culrossleis, dtove luck to the Rlysee, loudly cheered by the assembled thou sands. Fine Weather Yesterday. Glorious weather favored the opening of the exposition to the geneial pub lic todav and Immense crowds flocked Into the giounds. The area of the ex hibition, however, Is so gteat that no where was theie any crush. The vis itors weie mainly composed of piovln t lals and foielgners. Compaiatlvely few Pailslans were to be seen. Awaro of the gieat backwntdness ot the pi ep ilations they lemained awny for the most part. The management demand ed two entrance tickets foi morning admission, one for afternoon admis sion and two during the evening, when the JJirfel tower and the palaces on the Champ De Mais w-ere Illuminated. But thete were absolutely no attractions provldsd, not even a band of music, and tho Heoplc piomenaded In fiont of the emptv and In many cases unfin ished building'', and along toads wheie only in the case of the main avenues had the work of paving been com pleted. Visitors who left the tential arter ies found their pathway filled with pit falls and heaped with debris, some thotoughf'iras resembling mete bridle paths, The crowd, howevei, was peilectly good natured and took the muMer philosophically. Hardly a murmuii was hetud anywhere in the way of criticism. The moving eldewalk.access to which cost fifty runtimes, proved a great buecess and was jammed thiotighout tho da. Tho American national pa vilion remained closed, 80 also did most of the other pavilions for the ex cellent icuson that their Interiors ate still unfinished. SECRETARY LONG IS WILLING.

Washington, Apiil IS Secietary Long's Implied willingness to accept the Republican nomination for tho vice presidency, us Infciied by the sttU'iuniits mode' by him, was a matter of geneial .omuient In Washington to day. It set the Itcpuhtlcun slate nuk eis to thinking ami for the time being has seilously upset the calculations of (hose who believed thnl the honor would go lo one nf n half dozen othet.s mentioned for the vice ptesldeney.

Senate Will Continue to Devote Its Attention to Alnskan Code Bill, the Quay Resolution and the Bill Providing for Temporary Govern ment of the Philippine Islands. Affairs Before the House. Washington, April 15 The senate will continue during the week to de vote Its attention to the Alaskan code bill, the Quay resolution and the bill providing for the temporary jrovern ment of the Philippine islands. There nlso will be more or less sparring for place on the part of the friends of the Nlcaraguan canal, chief among whom Is Senator Morgan, of Alabama. Pos slbl, also Senators Frj'c and Ilanna will .nake an effort to btlng the sub sidy shipping bill up, but the chances are that no move will be made In that direction until after some ot the mcas t res now befoie the senate icre dis posed of. Penator Carter will try on Monday to get a dav fixed for a vote on th Alaskan bill. There aie only two amendments of Importance remaining to be acted upon In connection w lth that measure, and It is thought these could be disposed of at a very early date If the friends of the Alaskan bill would agree to assist in the taking up of other legislation when It was out of the way. Senator Moigan seems at present Inclined to hold up the code measute until he can receive some as surance on the canal bill, but so far has apparently not been successful in thut dliectlon. Tlieie Is also a noticeable disposition to use the Alaskan bill and the Philip pine bill to delay the taking up of the subsidy bill. The Democrats In the senate aie practically united In opposi tion to the subsidy proposition. Sena tor Lodge, in charge of the Philippine bill, announces It to be his purpose to ask foi a vote on It whenever the Dem ocrats make an opening for such sug gestions. Appaiently. however, he Is not very sanguine of success. Senator Hoar has given notice of a speech on the Philippine question on Tuesday next and he Is expected then to fully outline his views on the ques tion of expansion. I-ate In the week teports probably will be made on some of the appiopriatlon bills now In com mittee. It is also piobuble that a te poit will be made in the t'laik case during the week The ldport has been drafted In the lough by Senatois Chan dler nnd Tin ley, and will be laid be foie the committee on elections us soon ns completed. Senator Chandler announces It to be his put pose to ask to have the question taken up In tho senate as soon as the leport Is filed. Naval Appiopriatlon. The week In the house will be largely taken up with the consfdeiatlon of the naval approptiatiou bill, over which there pnmles to be a piotracted Btruggl". Tlu whole question of atmor plate, except that for the Maine. Wis consin and Missouil will be fought out. The iniiioilty menibeis of tho commit tee, led by Mr. Wheeler, of Kentucky, will mako a strong fight for the estab lishment of a government armor pinto tactmy as the best solution ot the vexed problem. An attempt nlso will be mucin by the minority of the com mittee foi the building of ships In gov ernment yaids. Uefore the naval bill Is taken pp totuoirow Chulimun Marsh, o the committee on militia, will hn tecogulyeil to iiiotu the passage, un der suspension of the tules, ot the bill to appropilate Jl.000.u00 foi the militia of ihe several elates.
