Large gatherings of the mining in- terests held at Cripple Creek, Colo., and Boise, idaho, have urged the adoption of the mieasure. The California Mining Association also is interested and the mine workers are expzcted to speak through their organiza- | tion, the United Mine Workers.

He would have a full Frenca regiment sent over fromn f£rance to repre- sent the republic in the great historical event, Never before, except on an et- rand of war, has a French regiment set foot on American sofl. Director SKiff thinks that the presence of a French re; ment in this city celebrating the greal instance of territorial expansion in b tory would be most seemly and appro- priate. France and America, united in history and sentiment in more ways than one, and an American regiment escorting a French regiment through the exposition gates on the first day of the fair, would, Mr. Skiff says, be an event worth atten- tion the world over.
