THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Krum Our hVgalur Ciirioponili nt )
Washington, D. C. May 21, 1I0.
Nothing more lisinitiiifr has been
seen in National politU'H tlum the
exploitin2f I'" three Bi'i-r envoys,
who nre now in Washington, by en-ti-iidinint-oiatiou
Senators nnil licji
rosentntives to try to einbiiniss Pres
ident McKinley ami to miiko demo
cratio political capital among voters
who sympathize with the Boers in
the iitifortuimte war In South Africa.
Tlio men who are working this game
reiilly cam nothing for the Boers,
but they think tliey see nn opportu
nity to line the envoys to help the
tlninocruts, and they have so little
patriotism that they hnve nudertiik
en the dirty Job. This n 1,,v lni"P
In American polities, but as the com
inon sense of tlio country is behind
the neutrality of thondininistrntioil,
it is not likely to accomplish what
Us projectors hope for. Heretofore,
it has been the proud boast of the
Americans thatnomntter how great
ly we differed upon matters of do
mestic policy, we always unanimous
ly backed up the foreign policy of
our government. The men who
have destroyed our right to make
that boast have ii-.it. done ft Job to lie
proud of. President McKinley will
give the same recognition to the
Boer envoys as would be given to
private citizens of any foreign coun
try, who visited Washington, no
more nnd no less. They havo no
official status iu this country any
more than they had in Em ope,
where they made a number of in
effectual attempts secure official
recognition, before coming to the
U. 8
President McKinley has accepted
invitations to attend the reunion of
the Society of the Army of the Po
tomac, at Fredericksburg, Va.. May
25th ; the unveiling of the monument
to the dead of both armies, nt Antie
tam, May 30th, and the 34th annual
encampment ot the Pennsylvania
G. A. 11., at Gettysburg, June Cth.
Senator McCumber made n speech
favoring our retention of the Phi
lippines, in which be said : ''That it
is to our commercial and financial
interests to retain them the most
ardent opponent of the Administra
tion cannot properly deny. That
our naval interests demand their re.
tention must be admitted. Who
would throw aside this wonderful
onnortunitv at the present timeV
The objectors to American expan
sion claim that the same nation,
which in May "went to war for Im
munity, In December, went to War
for conquest and greed. Have they
not faith in tile honor and interim
ty of their own country Have
they not faith iu the sense of justice
of the American people? Then, net
this faith and trust your own peo
ple." Senator Chandler has been in
structed by the Committee on elec
tions, of which he is Chairman, to
push the resolution declaring Mr.
Clark not to have been legally elect
ed to the Seimte, notwithstanding
Mr. Clark's resignation. The reso
lution would probably have been al
lowed to die had Mr. Clark content
ed himself with resigning, but his
little trick of having himself ap
pointed by the acting Governor, to
fill the vacancy made by his resig
nation has offended the dignity of
Senators' and many of them express
a determination to see that he does
n't get a seat on any such creden
tials. The later appointment of ex
Congressmau Martin Magmnis, by
Gov. Smith, is not seriously consid
ered by many Senators.
Congress has formally accepted
the fine uuirble statue of Gen. Grunt
representing him vtauling in full
unifoiHi, presented by the G. A. R.
The statue was unveiled by Miss
Surtoris, n granddaughter of Geu
Grant, and Mrs. Grant and Mrs
Sartoris were present.
The adjournment of Congress ear

ElllTOll OF TUB PltKSS :
With your Correspondent tho
Adage "Out of sight out of mind"
holds not good : Surrounded here by
palaces nnd nil that Is calculated to
ehnrm innii, my mind and my heart
turn frequently to thebeantiful hills
and brooks of Milford; nor nre the
friendly people forgotten.
Although Americans nre usually
well informed of whnt is transpiring
throughout the entire world I send
theso few words about the grandeur
and interest of the great Exposition
of 1900 at Paris. It, lies on both
banks of the river Seine, occupying
tha shores for nbout'onn mile nnd
extending back on the "Esplanade
des Invalides" nnd about 3,fi00 feet
on the "Champ de Mars" to the
great "Military school" known ns
the "Ecolo Militaire."
Hundreds of steambonts ply up
and down the river arriving at tho
pontoon slat ions on both shorese very
three or four minutes so that any
one desiring to take an exterior
view of the Exposition buildings
without fatigue can make the entire
ourney for two Rons (2 cents). On
lither side one beholds chateaux,
Cathedrals, Castles, Publlcbuildings,
Palnces, gardens containing trees
nnd flowers from foreign countries
to. etc. All the edifices are cbarn-
teristic of the architecture of nil
nations. As often as one will pay
this moderate fed the eyes may be
feasted on the Wonders of tho river
side scene.
Chief milling these attractions by
the river, is a reproduction of the
city of Fnrs centuries ngo. From
the streets of that old city, from
windows, from battlements, men
and womon, soldiers nnd men in
armor look out pn tho passing boats.
Theso people are dressed in the
costumes- of those chivalrio days.
At intervals bells ring out from
churches ; in the public streets and
squares couriers make tho munici
pal announcements, the attention of
the multitude being culled by a cla
rion blunt of trumpets, nnd skilliul
rolling of drums.
Journalists hang out announce
ments of their Newspapers which
were not larger than a womahs small
handkerchief,- yet commanding as
great a price as do some illustrated
magazines today in England and
America.
In the midst of all this bewilder
ing scene your correspondent cosily
resting on one of these river palaces
rends the latest news from Amer
ica in "Thk Pikk County Phkss"
which by the wny circulates in Paris,
and there finds those very interest
ing letters from Washington. There
is so much criticism nowudays in
the Europenn and even American
press, on the holiest nnd capable ad
ministration of the government of
tho U. S. America at this moment,
that it is with pleasure I read the
honest sentiment expressed weekly
both by the College bred editor and
the contributions from the national
capital
The Exposition is indeed great
man. has until -now conceived little
that is so beautiful and interesting.
Naturally tli6 industries "of all the
civilized nations are exhibited in
palaces on the "Esplanade des Inval
ides" and on the "Champ dcMnrs
the distance between these great
centers of mercantile display is
about equal to half n mi'e. A street
of tho puvillions of all nations con
nects the two departments, lyet ns
the distance is great, two means of
transit have been installed : one
by an elevated moving platform
and another running in an opposite
direction, an electrlo train of open
cars. For each of these lines there
are commodious stations every few
minutes.
Two magnificent palaces contain
the great art collections of the na
tion, and of such patrons of art as
Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, Char
les Maimhein, Mr. Cottreau, Mr.
Burdac unci otheis They consist
principally of enamels of the XVth
and XVllh ceiiturietf, reliquaries gro
tesque animals in faience and ena
mel, also splendid collections of
sacred altar pieia of chuiches of
the XlVth, XVth and XVlth cen
turies. An entirely new massive stone pal-"
ace ou tho opposite side of the Esp-
Innnde contains on the ground floor !
thp achievements of the sculptors of
France and other countries. The
grent- series of saloons on tho upper
floors contain remarkable historic
pictures which enable one to com
pare the work of artists of ninny
countries.
The exhibits in these buildings
lire nrrnnged with consummate abil
ity. Among tho most prominent in
the various sections is that of the IT.
S. of America. During the last de
cade the Amrricnn school hns innde
enormous strides, nnd has develop
ed special characteristics in a re
ninrknblo manner. With masterly
wisdom the vnrious works of nrt.
French nnd foreign nre so placed
that the collection gives n complete
history of modern nrt.
After 3 p. m. when ono hns done
miles of sight seeing, the multitude
gnther nround great covered Kios
ques (musio stand) and find do
1 i gh I ful repose while listeningto the
music provided daily. At this mo
ment we have Sousn's band and
many stnrs nnd stripes are seen
among the flags of all nations.
There is one feature in tho Expos
ition of wiiich I, as nn American.
am ashnmed nnd ngni.ist which 1
should like to protest that is nr
"American Bar."
I hnve resided tho i renter part ol
forty years in Franco and havo sel
dom if ever seen nil intoxicated
Frenchman ! God grant that, the
day may soon come when in the
United Srates of America there may
be no inebriety 1
The displays in tho buildings of
the "Esplanade des Invalides" and
on the "Chump do Mars" a re of nrt ns
pplied to mechanics and represen
tiitions of the fabrics nnd machine!-
of all countries These nro all very
important in a commercinl sense.
yet I find the most unique and deep
ly interesting exhibitions on the
grounds known as tho Troeadero.
It is not the privilege of everyone
to visit the entire world, yot any
one who could bo interested in see
ing bow nearly nil the people of this
arlhlive, dress and trade, can by
passing a few days in this depart
ment of tho Exposition, seo types ot
many of these peoplo dressed in
their native costumes ; can see them
trading in their bazaars, and in many
instances can witness examples of
their nmusoments, enn attend their
houses of worship and prnyors and
can drink tea with mnny of them.
There one enn see the distant pro
vinces of Russia, Siberia, Jovn, In
dia, Ceylon, Jnpan, Chinn, Algeria
Tunis, Cambngia, Cor go', Dahomey
French Guinea, the Transvaal, Sen
egal where caoutcbono (natural In
din rubber) is plentifully shown n
it comes from the trees, wound into
balls ; some very dark, other sped
mens clenr like tortoise shell, nlfoiij
thick sheets oudan, Madagascar
Tonquin, Adnlnsia with part of the
Alhambrn, the Desert of Sahara
Thimgad etc. etc.
There nre also many great enter
tainments. The Swiss village with
the mountains, herds feeding on
real growing prnss, precipices Wn
terfalls nnd lots of just such pretty
Swiss maidens as the Editor of the
Pike County P;ies would never bi
pel milted to gaze npon. "Le Tour
du Monde" with living characters
in the costumes of each country
That they may not be wenry they
are permitted to play games.
Near the Troeadero one descend
into subterranean passages where are
representations of mines of vurious
minerals, metals, coal, etc. There is
another tunnel that lends into Cata
combs where are Etrusciin, and
Phoenician and others tombs also
illustrations of the creation of the
earth's crust etc. etc.
Germans, French and Americans
nre soon to run their newspaper
presses in the Exposition buildings.
Later on I may be able to inform
yon which nation can print the
grentest number of copies of the
grentest number of pages in an hour
and do it well. It supposed by jour
nalists here that an American ma
chine stands a good chance of suc-
cet-s. In in li cin.t tt the result
will be truthfully cemniunicated.
During years it hns annoyed me to
be fehown sewing machines, type
writers, law n mowers, carpet sweep
ers, telephones nnd other electric
appliances of Ameiitmi iuvi utois, as
French inventions. In the Swed
ish department are shown many pre
sents made to King Oscar of Swed
en on the occasion of his jubilee,
among these is an address from
"Free Masons" to which great and
good association the King has be
longed during fifty yntis.
Window glass of large bites and
good qualify has increased iu value
nnd in demand, the 1000 Exposition
bnving used such enormous qnnrti
ties. It may interest these who dwell
in Montnguo to know Hint there are
lots of empty "Nail Kecs" lying
alxmt the Exposition gronnds at this
moment.
No mo.ncy is received nt nny of
the entrances ; admission is only by
tickets which nre immediately can
celled by cutting machines while the
holder waits when he hands it to nn
ther attendant who deposits them
in n locked box. v
Crowds of men nful women offer
these tickets for snlo everywhere
ntside the Exposition nnd through
out tho city. The price at present
fluctuates fromten to fourteen cents.
ns there nre so ninny millions of
tickets it- is supposed that in Octo
ber the price will fall to five or six
cuts, indeed many will probnbly
he sold during the Inst or closing
lays at three cents each.
There were issued some five years
igo 3,250 000 bonds of the Exposi
tion j ench bond entitles the holder
to twenty tickets nnd nn inter
st in monthly drawings of n
number of largo prizes -r00,000
francs 100,000 50.000. mnnv of
10,000 nlso of 6,000 of 1,000 nnd
finally of,100 francs. The holders of
these bonds nre entitled to 2"t re
luction on railway fares coming to
Piris, nlso on admission to nil pnn-
ornmns, nnd otherextra shows with
in the enclosuie during the six
months of the Exposition.
Should one of the bnlf million
prizes fall to one of my numbers
ind possesion, several extra copies
per annum of the Pike County Press
will he subscribed for by
Milfords well wisher,
