The unfinished condition of the exposition on inauguration day is re- grattahle and .perhaps mi^eading. must be borue i n mJnd t h a t this Is only a passing iphras'e and .on its comple tion Wiithin three weeks o r a month from now the exposiition will indisput ably be the most attractive and onag- niflcent y et seen. The Americans, especially, will proud of their country’s display a t this world’s fair, for the United States stands second only to F rance herself in the number of exhibitors, which treble those of any other foreign country. Following is a table o f the exhibitors, ^ i c h . speaks eloquently of American enterprise: Prance, 30,000; United States, 6,564; Belgium, 2,500; Germany, 2,000; Italy, 2,000; Russia, 1,500; Scan dinavia, 1,400; Austria, 1,000; .Great Britain, 600; British Colonies, 600. America has three tithes the number of exhibitors th a t Prance had a t the world’s fair in Chicago. Shb occupies 329,052 square feet with her 47 distinct’ exhibition spaces; 33 in the main ex position grounde, 14 in Vincennes an nex, excluding the ground covered by our eagle surmounting the national pavilion on the Qua d’Orsay. Ameri can enterprise, however, is not only shown in the size of representation, but In the preparedness of her install ment as compared with that of most of the other countries, and it can safely be said that but for the dilatoriness of the French workmen and their meth ods, the United States exhibits would have been exposed in their show cases to to-day’s visitors. Unfortunately, French tardiness has hampered all the American efforts-to rush matters. Thus in most of our show space, everything is prepared, and the glass cases are ready to receive exhibits, but the American officials hre afraid to display valuable articles to the likelihood of damjige by the clouds of dust arising from, work on adjacent anid ©mtoryoniic installation of exhibits. Tlie highest testimonial to the Amer icans comes from Commissioner Gen- ' eral Picquart himself. After compar ing the state of progress of the instal lation of various nations, he said to Commissioner General Peck: \It’s an object lesson to us all to see the ^American people work. I thank yonHor your promptitude and the ad vanced condition of work in the Unit ed States sections.” .Presld'enit Lontoet, as he stood In the PresidlentHal itribunie, s u n ’iounided by 'the 'meIn^b'el^3 of the cahlniet and hi» houso- hald, opened the expoBiitlon with tho woi|d 0 ! \I 'cloclaro tihe exposition of 1900 open,” Thus was bho Paris ox- posltiion, designed to celeUraito t'ho woiid'fl 'entry Into a new oeatury, in- aiigamted arndd shouts of \Vivo hot\ and) \VI yo La Republic” from his 40,000 ihcai’crfl and b HI i hat# wei'o waved IntUonli’.

NEW YORK, April 14.—Hostilities between the . strikers and sheriffs’ forces at Croton dam began early this , morning. A party of strikers made an attempt to cut a cable at one end one of the suspension liridges and were charged upon by the deimty sheriffs. There was 'a- lively fight, which ended in the defeat of the strikers, who were driven from the vicinity of the bridge. The strikers were armed with revolvers and other weapons, aad the deputy sheriffs were all armed with revolvers. In the conflict, two deputy sheriffs were wounded. One of them, named Ber wick, was badly -cut on the head. An other deputy, named Doyle, was hit on the foot and leg and painfully injured. During the fight no shots were fired. Sheriff Moller went to White Plains, having announced his intention of call ing out the militia, and said that Fourth Separate company of Yonkers and Company D of Mt .Vernon would be called out. The troops will go Sing Sing and will march from there up to the aqueduct. They will dis perse any strikers they meet along the route, which is a distance of three miles, and will take possession of the dam upon their arrival. The deputies have possession of the waterworks and the strikers hold positions on the hill. No attempt was made this morning to resume work. PEACE COMMISS lONERS. Boer Envoys Give an.
