‘LATE NEWS” BY WIRE Opening of the Tennessoe Expo- SIMPLE CEREMONIES AT NASHVILLE Addresses by Gov. Taylor and the Chief Officials. Se AGE TO THE PRESIDENT MES NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 1.—The Ten- nessee centennial exposition was cpencd at noon today with appropriate ceremonics. in the presence of many thousands of peo- ple. The weather was bright and cool, and et an early hour the streets were thronged with people assembled to witness the pa- rade of the Essenic order and other so- cieties. The procession formed on the public square and marched through College street to Market, Market to Union, Union to Sum- mer, Summer to Church, Church to Spruce, Spruce to Broad and the exposition grour-ds. The inclement weather which prevailed yesterday and until early this morning in- terfered with the arrangements for the parade in honor of the visiting supreme officers of the Ancient Essenic Order, yet it was a most creditable affair and mani- fested their appreciation of the opening of the exposition. The procession was head tachment of mounted poli followed by local divisions of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias; officers of the Ten- nessee Essenic Order, the Legion Bard of the Ist Tennessee Batialion; Company A of tke Ist Tennessee Regiment of Knox- ville; Company A of the Ohio National Guard of Norman, Ohio; ihe sponsor cf the Ancient Essenic Order and maids of honor, arrayed In costumes of white, in a tally- hho, senators and knights o7 the local sen- d by a de- ates and supreme officers and visiting knights. Governor Taylor and jis staff in open carriages went to the grounds later. The public buildings and hundreds of business houses and private residences along the line of march and every other vortion of the city are handsomely adorned with the national colors and other decorations and Present a very beautiful appearance. Arriving at the exposition grounds those in the procession joined with the thou- sands of other visitors in inspecting the splendid buildings and the very attractive grounds. The members of butt houses of the leg- §slature and their wives assembled at the Union street depot of the Nashville, Chat- tanooga and St. Louis railway at 9 o'clock, and were conveyed in special trains to the handsome termmal station at the west side of the exposition park. ‘fhe place of ren- dezvous was the adminiszration building, whence the officials, the legislators and dis- Unguished guests, inclu ling the governor of the state, Robt. L. Tavlor, Gen. Ignaclo Garfia, postmaster general of the republic of Mexico, and suite, escorted by a vast cencourse of citizens, proceeded to the au- ditortum, which, in a few moments, was filled with above seven thousand people, while a multitude was unable to obtain ad- mission, and contented itself with listening to the strains of Bellstedt & Bellenberg’s Military Concert Band of Cincianati. The ceremonies were opened with prayer by Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, coadjutor bishop of Tennessee. After “America” had been played in most impressive manner, Maj. J. W. Thomas, president of the Tennessee Expo- sition Company, arose and was received with cheers andapplause, Loud and continuous cheering followed the conclusion of President Thomas’ re- marks and the band struck up “The Star Spangled Banner,” am!d tumultuous cheer- ing and wzving of hats and handkerchiefs. The next address was by Robert L. Tay- lor, governor of Tennessee. At the conclusion of ihe address the band struck ap “Dixie,” and then the very earth itself seemed to shake with the thunders of plause. It was a sight never tv be for- gotten. When order was restored, or rather when quiet once more reigned, Maj. E. <. Lewis, the director general of the association, un- der whose skillful guidance the marvelous project materialized and came into being, tepped forward. His address was brief and characteristic. Maj. Lewis, turnin, said: “It is with very great pleas: I present to you the keys.” President Thomas said: antes and Gentlemen: T will now dic- ate a telegram to the Preside e United States.” ela Then the wires flashed the word to the White House at Washington, President Mc- Kinley touched the bution, and, as the bana Piayei “Hail Columbia,” the machinery Was set in motion, and the Tennessee cen- tennial exposition was opened to the world. the Button. Iz compliance with the request of the executive committee of the Nashville (Tenn.) centennial, tae President opened the exposition by wire from the White Heuse at 1 o'clock today. The a@rrange- ments were very simple in detail. ‘The circuit was made up by the Western Union eficials, under the supervision of Mr. Montgomery, executive clerk in charge of telegraph, and Manager Mareau of the Western [nion. The wires were made direct to Nashville, by way of Richmond, Va., and Asheville, N. C., repeaters being used at the former place. a little over 700 miles in length. Imme- diately upon the completion of the circuit into the exposition grounds tne President Was notified by Seeretary Porter and at once walked across the hall to the tele- Sraph room, where, under the guidance of Mr. Montgomery, he stepped up to the desk, placed his finger on the Morse key a slightly depressed it, which action in- stantly gave the signal to the Nashville end and put in motion the wheels of the exposttion. The members of the Tennessee delegation in Congress, Pension Commissioner H. Clay Evans and several other prominent Ten- nesseeans, witnessed the ceremony. The following telegrams in relation to the ce: mony passed between Secretary Porter and A. W. Thomas, presigent of the exposition: NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 29. His Excellency, William McK{nley, Wash- ington, D.

J. A. PORTER, Secretary to the President. FEATURES OF THE EXPOSITION. & to President Thomas, ‘ure, sir, that Tae circuit was Principal Buildings and the Chief Attraction: The exposition park, situated within a quarter of an hour's ride from the business center of the city of Nashville, covers an area of about 20 acres, a most beautiful fpet: a lovely well-watered lawn studded with stately trees and reached by two lines ef double-track electric railway and with a terminal station of a great steam railroad company within its gates,where trains from and to all points arrive and depart at all hours of the day, and all of these transpor- tatfon lines have properly and wisely placed the fare at 5 cents each way. The principal buildings are as follows: First, the Parthenon, as originally designed and completed by Phidias at Athens; the Erechtheon, or Histary building, will be the depesitory of valuable relics; the Commerce building, known since the world’s fair in, exposition parlance as the Manufacturers. and ral Arts’ building: the Education and fivgiene building portation: Negro bu: ernment building; the ‘oman's building: BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION. A reference to the statement be- low will show that the circulation sworn to is a bona fide one It is easily possible for a news- paper with an elastic conscience to swell its legitimate circulation enor- mously, in order to deceive adver- tizers, by sending out thousands of papers to newsstands, which are re- turnable, and which are in fact re- turned, but nevertheless are in- cluded in what purports to be an honest statement of circulation. Intelligent advertisers, however, judge by results, and bogus circula- tions don't give them. The family circulation of The Star is many toousands in excess of any other Washington paper.

Minerals and Forestry, and others of lessor note, nearly fifty in all. The Machinery building is considered one of the finest specimens of pure Greek archi- tecture in America. It is 375x138 feet and somewhat resembles the Propylaeum in Munich. The Commerce building measures 591x255 feet, and its general style is based en the Corinthian and Ionic orders of the Graeco-Roman. Over the central pavilion a dome rises to the height of 175 feet, from which a most magnificent view of the sur- rounding country may be obtained. The Agriculture building is 300x200 feet, and the central dome, the feature of the design, rises to a height of 100 feet, flanked on either side by three minor domes. The Children’s bullding is a most interesting structure and was erected by funds collect- ed solely by the children. The Negro build- ing is justly considered one of the most attractive in the exposition group, and has a commanding position on Lake Watauga. It will show the progress of the negro racé in America from the old plantation days to the present. The railway exhibits and ter- minal station is in the renaissance style of architecture, and is 100 feet square. . The lower floor ts occupied by Plani’s system of railways, the Georgia Railroad Company and the Southern Railway Com- pany. The upper floor will be oceupied by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway and by the Louisville and Nashville railway. The exhibit is one of the best ever made on the continent, and is of in- tense interest. It has been arranged through the instrumentality of President J. W. Thomas of the Nashville, Chatta- neoga and St. Louis railway, and who is also president of the Exposition Associa- tion. The Seaboard Air Line has one of the most unique exhibits ever presented, and one which displays exquisite taste in every feature. The display in the agricul- ture building is undoubtedly the best ever made on the continent, and the decorations are simply marvelous. The decorations in all the buildings are greatly admired. The Midway Plaisance at Nashville is called “Vanity Fair,” and it has more than the usual number of first-class attractions. In the list is the giant see-saw, in some respects an improvement on the Ferris wheel; shoot the chute, German village, Chinese village, Chinese dragon show, Cuban village, cyclorama of Gettysburg, Caboret du Neant, Edison’s mirage, vaude- ville theater, the Casino; Old Vienna, Mys- tic Maze, palace of illusions, ostrich farm, Colorado gold mine, old plantation, Ger- man & Boone's trained wild antmais, streets of Cairo, Moorish palace, haunted swing, whaleback sea wave, electric scenic theater, Pompey’s pillar, camera obscura, teoney illusion, Venetian canal and many mere. Vanity Fair occupies the western portion of the park, beyond the line of the commerce and transportation buildings. The women of Tennessee have played no mean part in the necessary work of making the exposition a great success. They organized the woman's department by placing Mrs. Van Leer Kirkman at the helm as president, and she has been ably assisted by Miss Ada Scott Rice, secre- tary, and a board of managers selected frcm the best material in the state. They selected as the architect of the woman's building Mrs. Sara Ward Conley, whose work now speaks for itself, and approves the wisdom of their choice. The woman's building is in the colonial style of archi- tecture, and the Hermitage, the home of Andrew Jackson, has been used as a model. ie musical features of the exposition will be of intense interest, as some of the most noted musical organizations of the world have been engaged. The season will open with Bellstedt & Ballenberg’s Band from Cincinnati, who will be followed by Inres, the Conternos, the great Victor Her- bert (Gilmore's) and others. The Mexican National Band will appear for an engage- ment; there will be recitals on the grand organ in the auditorium, and concerts in the woman's building, lawn fetes, etc. ‘Those who study the effect of light and shadow, and have watched the electric ght arrangements at the Tennessee cen- tennial exposition, assert that the scene at night will be exceptionally grand and beau- tiful. When the shadows lengthen and the stars begin to twinkle in the heavens there suddenly comes a flocd of light that ap- pears as though it came through a rent in the firmament, and that a beam of ethereal brightness had found its way to earth. There are myriads of lights in every di- rection, some high in the air, others bright- ly beaming amid the foliage, and the scene is really bewildering in its beauty. It ts beyond all question the grandest electrical display ever attempted, and is far ahead of the cenception of ordinary mortals. It must be seen to be fully appreciated. The mode of wiring has occuvied the time of a force of six men for over nine months, and of late over eighty men have been empleyed at the work. The cost oi the work when completed will be in the neighborhood of $120,000. The United States government building will close each evening at 5 o'clock, and will, therefore, not be illuminated, and the cortrast between this beautiful building and those that are bathed in brightness enhances the value of the whole. The elec- tric arrangements at the Tennessee cen- tennial will astonish the world. The electrical displays will be very grand, and the fireworks by the A. L. Due Fire- works Company of Cincinnati are the best the world affords, triumphs in the pyro- technica! art. Numbers of special attractions are to be introduc:d from time to time, wire wa!k- ers, acrobats, tableaux, parades, etc., and agricultural displays, flower shows and horticultural exhibits will be of frequent eceurrence. The greatest lve stock display ever heid in the south will open in September, and in the neighborhood of $50,600 will be given as premiums. There will be interstate collegiate foot ball games in October, and every week some new and startling fcature will be in- troduced. . —_>+__ President A. D. Hubbard Arresied. TOPEKA, Kan., May 1.—A.

Mr. Hansa an@ the Administration . Somewhat-Anxiéus Over the Perplexing Situation. Quick developments are promised in Ohio Politics. The administration is not exactly alarmed at the situation, yet there are- threatening elements which it is deemed wise to check in time. . This Is to be done by calling an early convention, and thus preventing the opposition from organizing. The program is to have the convention held the first week in June. When Mark Hanna returned from New York he had an immediate consulta- tion with his Heutenants, some of whom were fresh from the state. « Yesterday they were with him again, and the outcome Was the aniouncement of the plan for an early June convention. It was expected that Chairman H. P. Crouse of the state committee would confer with Senators Han- na, and Foraker and Governor Bushnell in New York, and that an agreement would be reached, but Mr. Crouse did not put in an appearance. ‘je It is said, however, that he will issue the call as early as desired. Goy. Bushnell has no reasons for delay, though he did some tart talking in New York, which indicated that he was not yet in full sympathy with the administration plans, which include his own renomination for governor and Mr. Hanna’s indorsement for senator. Senator Foraker’s Position. Senator Foraker, on the surface, at least, is not taking an active part. He said to- day: “I had thought that it might be bet- ter not to hold the convention until we get through with the tariff and Congress ad- journed. The time is not material, and, as Mr. Hanna prefers an early convention, I see no objection. Governor Bushnell will be renominated and Mr. Hanna in- dorsed for the Senate whenever the con- vention is held."’ The opposition, which, it is feared, may gather force, centers in Cleveland, with possibilities of an eruption in Cincinnati. Secretary Dick, who returned from Cleve- land last night, says the sentiment there is overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Hanna's indorsement by the state convention. Nev- ertheless, it is understood that no satis- factory assurances have been received from Maj. McKisson. He has full con- trol of the party machinery in Cuyahoga county, and the possibility of his electing an anti-Hanna delegation to the state con- vention from Mr. Hanna's home cannot be ignored. Maj. McKisson refuses to ac- knowledge any aid from the administration in his re-election, but holds rather that he was elected in spite of Mr. Hanna’s friends. His course of action is not fully outlined, but the idea of the administration men is that he must be treated as a hostile factor. Mr, Hanna’s Lieutenants. It is probable that within a few days all of Mr. Hanna’s lieutenants now in Wash- ington will be scattered through the buck- eye state. S. M. Taylor, ex-secretary of state, who was at Frankfort as the repre- sentative of the national chairman during the senatorial contest, Is available for home duty since the election of Deboe as senator. He wants a good consulate, but will delay till the uncertainty over Mr. Hanne is cleared away. Director Joseph P. Smith of the bureau of American republics, who has been giving his time to the southern pat- ronage, is expécted to concentrate on his own state for the next few weeks, and an eariy visit_to Ohio is scheduled for him. Secretary Dick is also likely to make an- other trip soon, while it is an easy matter for Senator Hanna himself to run up to Cleveland. Senator Foraker is likely to continue his attitude of friendly neutrality, though it is not apt to go beyond his expressed opinion that there fs no objection to Hanna's in- dcrsement for the Senate. Hanna agreed with Foraker in the latter's position against making Bellamy Storer assistant secretary. of state, and the two senators are on good terms. personally. In spite of this, some'of Senator Foraker's supporters in Ohio, along with Governor Bushnell’s following, are determined to keep their control of the state machinery. That is why the state convention is likely to be an interesting ore, even though it is settled in advance that Bushnell will be renominated for gov- ernor and Hanna indorsed for senator. ——-e—____ ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE. Another Woman Assaulted Last Night in Alexandria, Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Street. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 1, 1897. Alexandria would probably have been the scene of another lynching last night had the negro assailant of Mrs. George Hough, who resides at No. 410 North Columbus street, been caught, for the citizens were again aroused to the highest pitch of ex- citement. Shortly after 10 o'clock last night Mrs. Hough was sitting on the doorstep cf her house awaiting the return of her brother, Mr. James Clark, who had gone out but a few minutes before. Suddenly she noticed @ large nesro man come out of a nearby alley, and before she could realize it he had grasped her by the arm and dragyed her to the ground. By an awful struggle she managed to get away and started in the house, when the man attempted to follow her, but she was too quick. Finding that he could not get in he started down the alley to the rear of the house. Mrs. Hough, fearing that he would at- tempt to come in the back door, rushed through the house and picked up a loaded revolver. Just as she reached the back door she met the negro coming in. Seeing the revolver, he turned and ran, making for the back fence. Mrs. Hough fired three shots at him, none of which took effect, it is thought. Then, when the excitement in- cident to the chase was over, and realiz- ing her danger, she fell to the floor un- conscious. ‘The matter was reported to the police, who, with a number of citizens, made a search for the negro. Mr. George Hough is a proof reader on a Washington morning paper, and, of course, bound to be away all night, and it is belleved that the negro knew this to be the case. Mrs. Hough feels that she will be fully able to identify the negro should he be caught. Great excitement prevailed until a late hour last night, as police and citizens made a diligent search for the man. Mrs. Hough was able to give a good description of him, and it is believed that he will be cavght. This is the fifth case of the kind in this neighborhood during the past year. A large crowd gathered in front of the Hough residence within a few minutes after the occurrence, and many open threats of lynching were made should the negro fiend be cht. There was also a score near the corner of Duke and Pitt streets. An unknown negro man has been loafing around this corner for four consecutive nights, and last night he chased four young ladies near St. Paul's Church. The police are on the lockout for the man. ee Sunday at River View. The Lone Star Beneficial Association, one of the best known of the German organi- zations of the city, wili give its nineteenth arnual excursion to River View tomorrow, and judging from the interest taken in it by the German residents of the city, the attendance will be large. ‘The handsome and fast steamer Samuel J. Pentz will leave. her wharf, {cot of 7th street, at 11 am., 2:45 and 6 p.m., and returning, will leave River View at 1, 5, 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. All the attractions on the View grounds, in- cluding. the chute, will be in full operation for. the amusement of the excursionists, ard in addition to this a special program of music has been prepared for the con-. certs in the afternoon and evening, and on the boat.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TRANSVAAL Prospects in the Levant More Favorable. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, NEW YORK, May 1.—Occasional trading relieved the monotony of today’s short speculative session. The total volume of business for the day has frequently been duplicated in an active quarter of an hour. Transactions involving 36,820 shares, re- sulting in net declines varying from \ to & per cent, reflect the prevailing inertia and diseppointment. It has been fashicngble of late to charge Wall street with unwarranted pessimism, and insist that the elements of real pros- perity were abundant in all other centers. This view must lose support if the events of a small professional clique without at least a semblance of protest. Low prices for ccmmodities, a minimum demand at the reduction and slow collections are bet- ter explanations of a forced disinterested- ness on the part of the public. The European situation is decidedly un- settled,, recent developmen’s in the Trans- vaal suggesting grave possibilities, The eastern situation is complicated, but the prospects are perhaps a trifle more favor- able than otherwise. Paris conditions are satisfactory on the eve of the regular set- tlements, and rentes continue to improve. The bank statement does not fully reflect the payments madp at the subtreasury, owing to large receipts from the interior and also to the fact that they were made at the end of the week. The banks have gained $179,000 in lawful money, but the loans have failed to increase materially when the demand for customs payments is considered. The increase in this item is a trifle less than $1,000,000. The net result of the statement reduces the surplus slightly, the total amount of that item now being $48,917,000. —_—_.
