2 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.” A NARROW ESCAPE. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S.

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.
