OUR INTERESTS
We Have Great Stake in
Paris Exposition.
JATTLE ROYAL FOB TRADE
Ail Nations to Compete With a
View to Enhancing Tneir Com
mercial Prestige.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 31 —"At the Paris ex
position of 1900. the United States will be
second in size and completion among the
country's outside of France,” said Major
Brackett, secretary of the United States
commission of the Paris exposition at the
New York offices today.
“Russia,” he said, “will have little more
apace but the United States has a larger
allotment than either Kngland or Ger
many. However the French commissioners
wil! try to give reasonable favors to the
/our great countries, the United States,
England, Russia and Germany. So far as
*he*e nations are concerned the French
will show no favoritism. Germany is mak
ing great effort to all other nations
-it the exposition and' the United States
wMil find Germany its keenest competitor.
’The German government has made liberal
and generous appropriations for their ex
hibits. the amount appropriated being
twice .the sum which has been provided
for our commission. The Germans are i
going to make a great fight in Paris in
1900 for the trade of the world. Japan will
«l«o make a fine display. Commissioner
General Peck has secured additional
•space amounting to about 50 per cent over
The original allotment. The space now
given this country is about 217,000 square
feet. As the applications from intending
exhibitors, even now, ask for over 700,000
square feet, of course somebody will be
•disappointed.
‘‘This is to be an exposition of select
ion. The struggle for supremacy between
nations will be a great one and Coramis
-sioner General Peck will eliminate all dis
plays that would be other than creditable
to America. The demand for space in the
machinery and electrical departments
aiane now amounts to over 300,000 square
feet or. say 83,000 feet more than the en
tire allotment to this country.
“There is no coldness or indifference on
the part of the people of this country to
ward the 1900 exposition; on the contrary
• Americans are enthusiastic over the oppor
tunity they will thus have to show the
Ten l oT the world the results of their
Yankee brains and their wonderful en
ergy. As to visitors and tourists going to
Paris in the spring and summer of 1900
from this country, are going ■ from
Maine to Oregon and from Vermont to
Florida by the thousands. The steamships
will be taxed to their utmost capacity to
vvarry the people who will go from the
United States to the exposition. Tourists
'HMupanies are offering such inducements
that even now with the fair almost a year
and a half away the needs are arranged
to see Paris in 1900.
“As to the allotment of space to ex
hibitors, that will be clone at the earliest
practical moment by Commissioner Gen
eral Peek and his directors or representa
tives. The commissioner general is com
pleting his plans for organization as rap
idly as possible and there will be no need
less delay in assigning space and to notify
;thf (exhibitors. As to the rumors that the
exposition would he postponed until 1901,
-«aid iMajor Brackett, “there is no truth in !
such rumors. The strike in Paris prob
ably did not seriously affect the work.
Paris has been having unusually fine
weather this winter so work on the
palaces and buildings has progressed
steadily. The French commissioners say
that everything will be in complete readi
ness on the opening day of April 15, 1900.”

EXCITED COMMANDERS.
j Wben the Fiying Squadron was Sent to
Hampton Raods.
It was at Old Point Comfort in those
i nervous days preceding the actual declar
j ation of war, with the “flying Squadron”
| “ready to sail at>a moment’s notice”’ ly
ing at anchor in Hampton Roads. One
| forenoon just at the stroke of 11 a six
j pounder boomed from the flagship, the
Brooklyn. There was something ominous
about it, and upon the faces of the fash
ionable folk who poured from the Cham
berlain and Hygeia hotels there was writ
ten terror such as might have been ex
pected had the will-'o-the-wisp fleet o *
Spain suddenly steamed into the roads—
a terror that was aceeneuated as anxious
women tried in vain to read the signals
rising and falling in quick succession at
the military fasthead of the flagship.
A gig came scudding ashore from the
Brooklyn with Commodore Schley in the
I 3tern. He was serious, excited and mys
terious as he stepped from his gig, and
the general excitement among those who
crowded around him was heightened at the
| only words he uttered;
“We’ll sail at 2 o’clock!”
Other boats from the squadron bearing
the ship’s commanders came ashore.
'Every captain was excited They only
, knew that they had been ordered to sail—
it might be to San Juan, to bombard Ha
j vana or to meet the vaunted fleet of Spain
i The tension was like that preceding a
| battle itself. Women w*ere in tears and
i imploring to know, and officers of high
J rank \yere exhausting in vain their diplo
matic powers to find oua. Back to their
| ships they started to make ready. Ca,p
--| tain “Jack” (Philip of the Texas had his
1 boat held while he rushed back to me say
j ing:
“For God’s sake, try to find out where
we’re going. The old man won’t teel us.”
Amid cheers and tears the flying squad
ron weighed anchor and went to sea. Tw»
days later it came back and waited for
weeks in Hampton Roads.
The scene that day came to my mind
more than two months later, when Com
| modore Schley, now rear admiral, figured
on crippling the Cristobal Colon before
going down with his own ship, and Cap
tain “Jack” Philip, now Commodore (both
promoted for valorous deeds) cool as an
iceberg, told his men not to cheer, be
cause the poor devils of Spaniards were
dying.
I don’t believe that daring the moments
of battle any of the commanders of the
flying squadron showed the excitement
they did that day when they sailed out to
practice before the war began.
