Proposed Use of Part of the Arlington Estate. A bill has been introduced in the House by Mr. Rixey of Virginia, providing “that jurisdiction be transferred and given to the Secretary of Agriculture over 30 much of the government land in Alexandria county, Va., known as the Arlington es- tate, as lies east of the public road leading from the Aqueduct bridge to Alexandria, Va., and between said road and the Poto- mac river, containing about 500 acres. “That the declared purpose of this act is to set apart said tract of land as a gen- eral experimental farm in its broadest sense, where all that pertains to agricul- ture in {ts several and different branches, including animal industry and horticulture, may be fostered and encouraged, and the practice and science of farming in the United Statea advanced, promoted and practically illustrated. “That the Secretary of Agriculture will take immediate and absolute control of the property, and by clearing, underdraining, grassing, laying out proper roads and drive- ways, constructing proper bridges and buildings, and in other ways as his judg- ment may dictate, bring the property as rapidly as possible into the proper condi- tion.to answer the purposes for which it is set apart. “That in the development, improvement and management of the property full dis- cretion is given the Secretary of Agricul- ture to carry into effect the declared pur- poses of this act. The sum of $10,000 is ap- Propriated, out of any money inthe treas- ury not otherwise appropriated for the purpose of carrying into effect the declared purposes of this act.” —___e—______ GOOD TEMPLAR MEETING.

T. 4 18 THE PARIS EXPOSITION/AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Report of Major Handy, the Special Com- | Speculation as to Outoome of Contest Over Demonstrate the Unequaled Pro- gress of the Country. In his report, Maj. M. P. Handy, the spe- cial commissioner appointed to gather in- formation for Cor.gress regarding the Paris exposition of 1900, tells how he took meas- ures to feel the pulse of the American people, as to the degree of interest they felt in the exposition, by sending out a vast number of circular letters to per- sons who had made exhibits at Chi- cago or who might reasonably be sup- posed to contemplate making exhibits. In Paris the conditions were not at first a) Piclous, many of the officials were absent, and those he did meet told the cominis- sioner how much they regretted the tardi- ness shown by the United States in apply- ing for a proper place. The fact that the French government desired the exposition to be one of selection, in which quality rather than quantity should be regarded, was impressed upon him, and the minister of commerce tolé Mr. Handy that they wished to avoid the mere multiplication of commonplace exhibits. “Visitors,” he said, “‘are not interested in Sardine boxes and tomato cans, however numerous or tastefully arranged.” How- ever, in the end the exposition authorities graciously yielded to Mr. Handy'’s request that the space to be given to the United States be enlarged, inasmuch as we were entitled to as large an allotment as any other nation, and more than we had in 184), as the space at disposal was larger. The original allotment of space was 108,676 square feet. As a result of further nego- tiations the allotment was increased in various groups so as to make the total of rgd absolutely allotted 147,403 square feet. Our Unequaled Progress. In his report, Maj. Handy says: “The industrial progress of the United States and the evolution of its material re- sources during the hundred years which the exposition is to crown, has been un- equaled by that of any other nation. It 1s not too muck to say that the United States now stands the greatest nation of the world in all the great lines of industry. According to the figures given by the emi- neni statistician Mulhall in his ‘Industries and Wealth of Nations,” tne United States Jeads in agriculture, with products greater than Russia and the United Kingdom com- bined; in the manufactures with a*product of greater value than the aggregate output of the factories of the United Kingdom, France, Austria-Hungary and Belgium combined; in machinery with a_greaver steam power than the United Kingdom, Austria-Hungary and Italy combined; in mining with a product greater than the United Kingdom and France combined, or nearly one-third of that of the entire world; in railway transportation with a mileage 40 p2r cent greater than that of all Europe; in forestry with products greater than that of all Europe, and nearly one- half of the total products of the world; in fisheries with a greater product than the United Kingdom, Russia and Germany combined. America’s Opportunity. “Few Americans realize the pre-eminence of America. Foreigners know it less. Never has there been a better opportunity to show it to the world than is presented by the universal exposition of 1900. The proof of our superiority means not only tle mar- kets of France tor cur products, but those of all Europe and that of Central and South America. For all Evrope and ali the Americas will atterd this exposition. In fact, Paris will be the Mecca of all the peo- ples of all the nations in 1900. A creditable exnibit will mesn not only the offering of proof to the world of American greatness, an object which should suffice to stir the patriotism of every American heart, but will a’so be foliowed by an extension of American export trade which wi!l mean increased employment for all engaged in manufacturing, agriculture and other tn- dustries. These advantages have been dwelt upon at length in the appendix to this report, and to the remarks therein made on this subject I respectfully call at- tention. “In recommending that $915,000 be ap- propriated by the United States for the ex- perses of a proper representation of the products of our industry and the naiural resources of the country, I have been care- ful not to propose any expenditure not fully justified by knowledge and experience. In the past the United States has suffered because of insufficient appropriations for all international expositions except our own. These appropriations were less (han they should have been, largely because the law-making power was not in possession of information as to what was necessary to be done in order that we might be ade- quately represented. “The exper-ence of those foreign gov- ernments which have been liberal in pro- visions for participation in international expositions has heen so encouraging that almost without exception they will spend largely more for representation at Paris in 1900 than ever before, Importance of the Exposition. “The exposition of 1889 more than any other ever held opened the eyes of the world to the practical value of such con- tests for supremacy in the arts of peace. That the great governments of the world took the lesson to heart was shown at the world’s Columbian exposition of 1893, when those officially represented therein expend- ed on their exhibits from two to eleven times the amount reported to have been previously spent by them, respectively, in 1889. Germany, which was not officially represented in Paris in 1889, spent $750,000 in their organization, display and adminis- tration of their particular exhibit at Chi- cago, while the exhibit of France in the ex- position of 1893 cost the French govern- ment in round numbers about $1,000,000. “In 1900 we may expect that not only Frence, but every other country will meet the United States at Paris with such dem- oustration as was never thought of before. Germany has been at work for more than two years already, and the word has gone forth that no trouble or expense is to be spared in making her exhibit the best. Russia will make a display in which money will not be considered. Austria- Hungary and Belgium will make every ef- fort to keep in the front rank without re- gerd to what the cost may be. * * * “At every international exposition on for- eign soil the United States has presented some things worth seeing and taken a liberal proportion of recompense. What then may not be expected if f@ once we present ourselves at an international ex- pcsition with a well-selected, thoroughly organized, well administered and truly rep- resentative exhibit? Why not take the place to which we are entitled by our resources. our skill, our industry, our progress and our achievements on every field on which the nations of the earth may enter into honorable competition?” Commissioner Handy’s Estimates. Commissioner Handy’s estimates include the following chief items: Commissioner general, three years, at $10,000 a year; assistant, at $6,000; three ccmmissioners, at $5,000 each; secretary, at $2,500; disbursing officer, $2,900: nine scien- tific experts, at $1,500; government exhibits, $140,000; architects, decorators, etc., $78,500: structural work, $75,000; packing and freight, $80,000; art exhibit, $20,000; wo- man’s work exhibit, $25,000; jurors, $75,000; final report, $20,000; world’s congress, $15,- 000; exhibit of charities and social econ- ory, $25,000, and various amounts for clerk hire, office rent, etc. 5 2 TO CLOSE PORT OF DYEA. the Jndgeship, Joseph Las! Saicide—Movement Attempts « Commit to Celebrate Lee's Birthday—General News. Evening Star Bureau, No, 520 King street. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., December S, 1897. There is still much speculation here as to the outcome of the contest for the judge- ship of Alexandria and Fairfax counties, which {s to be decided by the legislature, Probably within the next few day: Friends of both the candidates—the incum- bent, Judge James M. Love of Fairfax ecunty, and Mr. Louis C. Barley, formerly of this city, but who, it is now stated, claims Alexandria county as his legal res! fighting for their It is stated by parties who have been if Richmond that the situation is apparently favorable to the election of Judge Love. It is said that much depends upon the way in which State Senator George A. Mushbach, who represents this district, will cast his vote. Ex-State Senator R. Walton Moore, who is in Richmond in be- half of Judge Love, has stated openly that Captain Mushbach will vote for Judge Love, on the grounds that the senator has promised to cast his vote for the candidate having the indorsement of a majority of the residents of the judicial district over which he is to preside. It is claimed that Judge Love has such indorsement by large majority. Attempted Suicide. Joseph Lash, who has for some time been in bad health, is said to hav. mcrning attempted to take his own life. Shertly after 7 o'clock Mr. Lash proceeded to the wharf at the foot of King street and purchased a single trip ticket to Wash- ington, He went aboard the ferry, where his strange actions aroused the sus. picions of the employes, and they kept a close watch on him.
