Coffin, Chief Clerk C. L. & N. 0, Expo. sitions for Department Interior, 613 11th atrect northwest, Washington, DEAR Srr:—I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 26th, and to thank you for the in- terest you express in the coming exposition. Although under a new name and a new man- agement, the North, Central and South Amer!- can exposition is practically the complement to the world’s exposition oflast year. It has, as you know, for its object the establishment of close commercial relations with the coun- tries of Central and South America, which is the present industrial problem of the United States. The citizens of New Orleans have undertaken the work in view without national ald, and present indications point to a complete success of the project. So far from thirty. five to forty states of the Union have Indicated their intention of being present, and are ac- tively at work in collecting an exhibit of their industrial and manufactured resources. A large number of the Central and South American states are also at work, and there 1s every reason to believe that the exhibition it- self will be ou a scale fitting the successor of the world’s exposition. As for the probable attendance, the railroads of the country have agreed to reduce their rates much below the point of Inst year, and with steam transportation to the grounds from the heart of the city, there is every reason to be- Neve thatthe daily attendance at the exposi- Uon will be more than double, We have commissioners all through the Ameriens and Europe, who are actively at work, and will secure a large attendance out- side of the United States. In addition, the crops throughout the south are of most gratifying nature, and this section of the country will send a far larger attenaance than last year. ‘Trusting that we may have the pleasure of seeing you down this winter, Tam very respectfully 8.

Mlineis Men Having a Lively Time. ‘There are very few members of Congress now in the elty and very few office-seekers. Mem- bers ot Congress who made so many calyg upon the President and members ot his cabinef with- out avail early in the game are shamefaced and halfinelined to apologize for being importu- nate. Many members were after things they knew from the first they could not get, and they explained by way ot apology that their constituents drove them down here, and they had to come and go through the form of asking. The President has a peculiar way of putting them on the defensive as soon as ey Le to present their claims, and his recent fon in the Sterling case has added another ton welght to their despondency.

Mr. Wise spoke two hours, in opening his speech in Alexandria, Mr. Wise said he had no comment to make on Fitz Lee's personal character, but would speak of him as @ public man, A's Lee had introduced the element of ridicule into the canvass he Frould not be sparing in his tise of it. “He read from a ten-cent life of Lee, ridiculed his career ‘at West Point, and claimed that he was made @ hero for deeds he never performed, He had, he sald, many warm friends in tite democratie Party Who favored free speech, and he came to Alexandria to speak,and he meant to have free speech there and now. Mr. Wise was continually interrupted, and often gave sharp replies to his assailants, “What about the trouble you had with Am- bler Smith on* the train?” eried one lnter rupter. “Why,” answered Wise, “A nbler Smith acted on the train like a blackguard, as you are do- ing, and I slapped him in the mouth.” the police were quite busy in keeping order, and every now and then would break through the crowd that filled up the doorway and bring out some person. who was interrupting the speaker. Mr. Wise was much applauded by his friends, Once during Mr. Wise's speech, Mr. J. Ambler Smith arose in the audience and exclaimed, “I denounce you as a coward and a cur.” Jt wos anticipated in Alexandria that the blow which Mr. Wise had given Mr. Smith in. return for the epithet of “liar” on the train would lead to more serious difficulty before the night was over, and crowds were seen at seve- polnts where it was supposed @ rencounter Might take place. After the meeting a throng gathered at the depot, where it was thought a meeting might take place, hut when Mr. Smith left for Washington, on the 11:30 train, all pos- sibility of any contest in Alexandria termi- nated and the throng separated. MR, WISE NOT IN TOWN T0-DAY—WHAT HIS FRIENDS SAY, A STAR reporter called this morning at the Metropolitan hotel where it was reported Mr. Wise was staying, but was informed that he had not been there since last evening. Inquiry among triends of Mr. Wise resulted in In- formation that ne wasnot in the city. One of his friends sald he had no doubt Mr. Wise had gone riht on to fill his engagements in the campaign, and that he would not probably take any further notice of the difficulty. Mr. Wise's friends maintain that it fs not jncambent upon him to return to Washington or go out of his way atall to meet Mr. Sinith, They say that Mr. Wise resented an insult, and that he could not have done less, MR. SMITH’S VERSION OF THE STORY. ‘THE STAR reporter next visited the law office of Mr.John Ambler Smith on New York ave- nue. That gentleman was found in close con- sultation with a friend or two, but he inter- rupted lis conference to recelve the reporter. When asked for his version of the difficulty he replied that he had nothing to say for the present. ‘The matter is,” he added, “in the ands of my friends, and’ perhaps to-morrow I may have something to say.” Beingasked if he intended to challenge Mr. Wise Mr. Smith replied: “What would be the se? He lias declared that he will not fight ‘@ wel. He reiterated the statement that the affair was in the hands of friends, and remarked that it would not be proper for him to make any public declarations of his intentions. Mr. Smith declared that_he did not hunt Wise up, and that he did not even know Wise wason the train. He said he went in company with several others to the train because he wanted to hear Mr, Wise'sspeech at Alexandria; that In pass ing through a car Mr, Wise hailed him with: “How are you, John Ambler?” Mr. Smith says he responded: “How are you, John?” and the two shook hands; that they engaged in conver- sation, and he continued: “Wise struck me a foul blow when I was entirely unprepared for anything of the kind. I had no more id of a difficulty “with John’ Wise than T have now of one with you, and his blow was as much a surprise to me_as if you were to strike me.” Mr. Smith denied emphati- cully that he instigated the disturbance whieh broke up the meeting at Alexandria, He de- clares that, on the contrary, he advised persons against such conduct. He ‘admits that when Wise, in reply to an interrogation from some ‘one in the audience, said he struck Sinith be- cause he made a “blackguara” of himself, that he (Smith) arose and denounced Wise in th meeting 4 "a /linr.a poltroon and a cownrd,’ Mr. Sinith stated further that he waited at Alexandria for the purpose of meeting Mr, ‘Wise and of settling with him the trouble which had arisen between them. He says he remained at the front door of the hall expecting that Mr. Wise would make his exit in that way: that when nearly everybody had left the hall he was informed that Mr. Wise had retired through a. back door. Mr, Smith declared that until then he was not aware that there was a back door to the hall, He then waited in Alexandria, he ~ sa until the Inst to Washington last nf ht, train cameo still hoping and expecting to meet Mr. Wise: In regard to the allegation that he was under Aue Influence of Hquor, Mr. Sinith says “It is a He out of whole cloth.”” He declares that he did not touch adrop of any intoxicating Mquor in Alexandria, 4 Mihile Mr Smith declined to say anything as to his intentions, his admission that the affair Pras in the handd of triends would imply that he ts seeking redress, He would not, of course, acknowledge any purpose of a challenge, event if he entertained it, as that would bring him in collision with the law, He expressed the opin- fon that by to-morrow something definite might be known as to the sequel of the atfray on thera. = if WHAT AN EYE AND EAR WITNESS OF THE SCENE ON THE CAR SAYS, A gentleman who was seated in the car at the time of the dimeuity, but who does not want his name used becauise he “preiers not to be mixed up with the affair.” gave aStaxreporter substantally the following uccount of witat fe saw: “The car was very much crowded.

New Yorx, October 2.—There were rumors as Jong ago as last evening thata prominent house was in financial difficulties, and the stories took definite shape before the opening of the board this morning. The statemeat was that Wm. Heath & Co. was likely to tail and that a meeting had been held between Mr. Gould and Mr. Cammack to consider the advisability of assisting him over ‘his prevent difficulties. ASMr. Heath appeared in the loan crowd on the stock exchange at the opening of the board, and no further developments. were made, thé general conclusion arrived at was that the rumors were fulse, but shortly before midday the announcement came from. the rostrum of the stock exchange that the firm of William Heath & Co. was unable to meet its obilgations. ‘The shock was not nearly as great as many had anticipated. There was a very active market and gradual tendency to lower quotations, but no decided break and no very material excitement, except as appeared on the floor of the stock éxchange. It is impossi- ble at present to learn anything definite as to the immediate causgof the failure, but rumor says that the house was short over 100,000 shares of stock, and the general impression of the street is’ that the fuilure is due largely to the inability or unwillingness of a prom- inent speculator who was recently reported in financial trouble to respond to the demand tor additional margin. | 1t is probable that the fall- ure isdue to the tardiness of more than one customer who was heavily short of stocks through the suspended house to meet the de- mands made upon them, There has been a large number of transactions under the rale for cash in Lake Shore, St. Paul, Lackawanna, Northwestern, Western Union, Union Pacific, New York Central, Jersey Central, Omaha pre- ferred and Missouri Pueific, understood to be on account of the suspended firm, but the de- ciine In prices up to one o'clock was for less than one per cent, the weakest stock being Lake Shore, Northwestern and New York Cen- tral. The firm of Wm. Heath & Co. was composed of Mr. Heath and Charles E. Cuijmey, both of whom were members of the stock exchange, and Thomas E. Davis. Mr. Culjmey is absent at present from the city. Mr. Heath has been’ a prominent person on Wail street for about twenty years and has been conspicuously identified with nearly all of the leading operators in the street during that time. Mr. Henry N. Smith, about whom rumors of financial trouble have been afloat for some time past, and who has been a very heavy bear operator at times for several years, says: “The failure of William Heath & Co. ts mainly due to my operations in the stock market. I’ supposed the firm was strong enough to carry me through, and up to 10 o'clock this morning I had no idea of their failure. Iam now unfortunately placed where Icannot pay what I owe for the present, I have been short of the market, believing the advance to be unwarranted, I shall make an asignment.” The firm is represented London, Oy a te ng g partner, Thomas E. Davis, and it is understood that the London house of Wm. Heath & Co. is one of the leading American houses in that elty. Mr. Heath and Mr. Culjmey are the representatives here. It is now believed that the failure of Soutter& Co., on Wednesday, was due, at least, in part to the same cause which has brought about the suspension of Heath & Co.—the failure ot Mr. Smith to put upSthe required margins, Noshadow of suspicion that Heath Co. were not abundantly able to meet all their eny ents has existed in Wail street, and the general impression has been that it ‘was among the strongest. and most prosperous houses in the street. “The common saying has been: ‘Others can fall with whom Me, Heath {s associated, but he always manages e care of himself.” Wm.

The cries and of the par- dolled men would occasionally rise above the women’s voices. It was an awful scene, and the physicians were almost unnerved at the Sight of ao much human suffering, physical and mental. The injured were found fying in all positions, Some of them were so far away from the battery that ft seemed impossible that they, could have been injured by the explosion, The large number of boys hurt 1s accounted for by the tact that they were employed to handie the hoop fron which was rolled in the mill nearest the boilers. 1t was fully twenty minutes after the explosion before the boy, Frank Murray was taken out from under the tru Mhere he was thrown.

Mr. Chamberiain Warns Them That Farther Attempts to Obstract the Will of the English People Will Cost Them Dearly. Loxvox, October 2.—Mr. Chamberlain ad- dressed a liberal meeting at Bradford let evening. In the course of his speech he dwelt at considerable length upon the attitude of the house of lords in obstructing legislation and re- fusing togive their assent to measures passed in the house of commons. Upon the general principles of the necessity of doing away with this obstruction, Mr. Chamberlain declared that the liberals of all shades of opinion were united. When, however, git was proposed to name 4 definite time for effecting this retorm or when the question of the expediency of permit. ting the popular chamber of parliament to take. the peers in hand was mooted, then the liberals, were at once split up into numerous and conflict- ing camps. Some were in favor of the mostradl cal measures, others were content to await for the slow progress of events to furnish a solution to the problem. Further resistance on the part of the peers to the will of the people as ex- pressed by the house of commons could not be tolerated. Such # course, Mr. Chamberlain be lieved, would result in the speaker of the house of commons being made a virtual dictator clothed with powers ample enough to enable him to deal effectively with all cases of obstrue- jon, burst ee A Quiet Night at Monireal.
