Our Dis play at Paris. NEW YORK, June 22. A dispatch to the Tribune from Paris says President Loubot. accompanied by M. Millerand, minister of commerce, and M. Picard, commissioner-general of the exposition, made his official visit this morning to the united Stas National Pavilion. It was 9.30 o'clock when the presiden tial party appeared at the threshold of the American National Building. The president was received by Ambassador Porter. Commissioner-General Peck was not present. General Porter walk ed beside President Lou bet, who seemed pleased with the plaster statue by Borghum. representing a stampede of three American bronchos, which has re cently been placed In the centre of the large octagonal hall of the pavilion. The president also noted the plaster busts of Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland and of McKlnley by Practo. and he glanced at a portrait of a Sioux chieftain, a portrait of Prince Ching, "Uncle of the Emperor of China," and one of the Lla ma (high priest). There are also some stray canvasses by American painters, but all badly hung. The United States postoffice box was duly inspected, and also the reg isters where the Americans write their names and addresses. The president looked up at the iasteboard Ehleids hung on the tiers of balconies, repre senting the Union. Ambassador Porter then took the president to see the elevator, which, however, did not happen to be work ing. General Porter looked at Presi dent Loubet, who looked at Minister Millerand, who In turn glanced at Pi card. AH smiled and the presidential party, after cordially shaking hands with the ambassador, walked off to vis it other national pavilions. The presidential visit at the American building did not last more than five minutes the reason being unfortunate ly, that tnere was nothing of particular interest to see there. Just as Presi dent Loubet left the building. Commissioner-General Peck arrived to wel come the president. Ambassador Por ter remarked: "The president has gone." Mr. Peck replied: "I' am sorry the president came ahead of time," and looked at his watch which marked 9:30 o'clock, which was correct according to railway schedule time.but five mln UU'S later than the time indicated on the pneumatic street clocks and the clocks on the exterior of the railway stations. N This Is the sixty-seventh day tJnee the exposition opened, and patriotic Americans have so far refrained from caustic criticism of their national pa vilion in hopes that something would be placed in it to put it on an even footing with other countries, but after today's presidential visit. It is Impossi ble to conceal the fact that In the opin ion of 99 out of a hundred Americans who have seen It, the United States National pavilion, as far as its con tents ars concerned. Is unworthy of our country and causes unpleasant Im pressions when compared with the Ger man pavilion, with its art collec tion of Frederick the Great; with the British pavilion, and with the pavilions of Italy, Spain, Russia, Hungary and Austria, admirably displaying their re spective native Industries. The Ameri can pavilion is not only far inferior to -the national pavilions of first class countries, but discreditable even when compared to the pavilions of microscop ic states like Monaco or the Republic of San Marino. Under the American pavilion is a third class American restaurant with French waiters and a soda water foun tain, but where one cannot obtain American wines nor porterhouse steaks ncr terrapin nor buckwheat cakes. THE WHITE MAN'S BURDEN. President Schurman Has Confidence in American Justice. ITHACA, N. Y.. June 22. In his ad dress to the graduating class of Cor nell University today, President Schur man said: "The most Imminent danger In mod ern politics Is the exploitation of the weaker races by the stronger races Into whose power they have fallen. It may be done by regulations of trade and commerce, or it may be done in more insidious ways. But, however done, it is certain to prove a bane to both. For the world 4s a moral world, and history ts governed by moral laws, and oppression and injustice never fall to bring a j their nemesis unending discon tent, cnronlc revolts and impoverished treasuries. Good policy prescribes ab solute Jurtice in deaiinj with weaker races who have come under the sover-j "a11-ftvr" ffv lio rl. on the Lower Columbia. elgnty of stronger races. In the case of us Americans It would be an unpar donable thing If we forgot our own ideals and conceived that we had any mission in relation to foreign peoples who may come under our flag, except to train thorn up to the exercise and en joyment of the privileges and liberties which the flag symbolises and guaran tees. Our true greatness consists in the charactjr of our intellectual and moral ideals and the energy with which we train them up to become sharers of these ineffable blessings. To seek our advantage and not theirs would be to repeat the criminal blunder which, in the last century, cost England her American colonies, "I feel sanguine, however, about the future of our enlarging republic, and the ground of my confidence lies lu the nature of the ideals of the American people and the devotion with which they pursue them. The great Anvrlcan nation loves order. Justice, liberty and Intelligence, and desires them for others as well as for itself. See how sensitive public opinion was on the Puerto RIc an legislation and how. In response to the demands of independent citizens ir respective cf party, a bill was pass! giving the Puerto Ricans horn? rule, and providing fcr free trade with the United States, necessarily, In two years, and Just as much earlier as the Puer to Ricans themselves desired." WORST EVER KNOWN. Failure of the Wheat Crop an Agri cultural Calamity. CHICAGO. June 22,-The Times-Her-aid tomorrow will publish a crop re port prepared by Snow, the crop ex pert, who has Just completed a two weeks' tour through the states of Minnesota, North and South Dakota. He declares the situation to be a na tional calamity and claims the wheat failure to be the worst ever kno-vn. He estimates the Dakotas are prom Ising only 20,000,000 bushels each ar.d Minnesota about 35,000,000, a total of 73.000,000 against 200,000,000 last year, and 225,000,00 in 1S&3. July wheat closed today at h3ic, y.c over yesterday. Speculators had to swallow long wheat in heavy chunks throughout the session, and at times July was dipped by yesterday's figures. Trade was active, not to say excited, and the market pulse was rather fev erish. NEW YORK. June 22.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to morrow will gay: "The damage to the wheat crop of the Northwest is the event of chief Im portance. How extensive the loss may prove, in view of the widely conflicting accounts, can only be Judged from the speculating markets. Information gath ered in the West has caused the re markable advance at Chicago of 15 cents in ten days and the price here has advanced 11 cents per bushel. "Failures for the week have been 179 In the United States against 178 last year, and 23 in Canada against 18 last year. PORTLAND, June 22. Wheat. Walla Walla and Valley, 57 9 58; bluestem, 60. NEW TUG BEING BUILT. To Be UHed to Ton Lumber Barges Fnm Nehalem River to Astoria. Evening Telegram Craft of exceptional strength stem to be in vogue at the present day, and besides the strong steam schooners now being built at Supple's, there Is an other of greater strength being built at the yards formerly occupied by the Hale & Kern Company . Thij Is a tugboat, and will be the property of C. II. Wheeler, a well known sawmill owner who has busi ness interests on the Nehalem river. The craft was designed and modeled by J. Johnson, the well-known ship builder. The work Is being done under the supervision of Edwin O. McKay, one of Portland's early boat-builders, and an expert In his line. It Is in tended to use the boat as a tow craft, for the purposj of brlnlgng lumber barges from the Nehalem country to Astoria. Her dimensions are 85 feet over ell, 10-foot beam and 9-foot depth of hold. The frame-work is th? most astonishing portion of her many advantages. The material used on the ribs Is 10 by 12 inches, and placed at an Interval of 6 Inches. The work was begun the first of the pres-ent month, but some delay -has been experienced because of the nonarrlvat of a portion of the ma terial. Her machinery is of an old model, and will be secur-H fr-jm another craft in the urper country. Her boiler will be new, however, and ts now being placed together at the shops of the Willamette Iron Works. It la not known at Just what time she will be launched, at the repairs to the ma chinery will hold the work back. BIO FIRE AT PITTSBURG. sat mmm A Blase Destroying Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Worth of Property. PITTSBURG, June 12.-A Are in the heart of the business district of this city this afternoon caused an esti mated loss of several hundred thous and dollars and for a lime threatened to wipe out the entire square of hand some buildings bounded by Fifth ave nue, Diamond, Wood and Market streets. At LS0 flames were discovered Issu ing from the rear of the F.lohbaum building. No. 242 Fifth avenue. The structure was of iron and brick, six stories high and occupied by Duff s college and the Holes Electric Com pany. The first floor was vacant and was' being remodeled by the Central District and Printing Telegraph Com pany for occupancy. Ten minutes after the fire broke out the entire building was in flames and the adjoining structures, the Exchange National Bank, the Husse building. Pi att's saloon and restaurant and A. M. Murdoek's flower store were on fire and the flames were burning so fiercely that little hope was entertained of saving any of them. Five minutes later, the flames leaped across Fifth avenue and the roof of the magnificent eight-story iron building of the First National Bank was seen to be on Are. Fortu nately, however, the Are was disco v erod before much headway had been made and it was extinguished without much damage. Firemen were then sta tlonal on top of the building with chemical extinguishers, but their ser vices were not again needed. In the meantime the flames were leaping 50 feet in the air from the burn ing buildings and the firemen who were working with might and mutn seemed powerless to stay their progress and It looked as If the whole square was doomed, as large burning cinders were flying in all directions, setting fire to roof3 200 feet away. Finally, at 2:30 o'clock, the flames were controlled without getting beyond the first limits. The Elchbaum building was destroyed and the other buildings were badly damaged. It Is Impossible to give any thing like a fair estimate of the loss at this hour, but it will very likely exceed $300,000. When the fire broke nut 50 students of Duff's college were on the fifth floor of the Eichbaum building and the flames spread so rapidly that they oarely escaped with their lives, losing their books and some of their other effects. In the panic, a number re ceived bruises, but no one was ser iously hurt. During the progress of the fire great excitement was created by a report that a number of lives had been lost, but, happily, this Is now thought to be untrue, although quite a number of the known occupants of the building have not yet been ac counted for. The origin of the fire is unknown. CABINET MEETING. MacArthur Asked How Many Troops He Can Spare. WASHINGTON, June 22.-The only news from China' laid before the cab inet meeting today was a telegram to the secretary of the navy giving the movement of vessels In Chinese wa ters. The text of the message, how ever, was not made public. . That the president and the members of the cabinet regard the situation In China as extremely critical is shown by the fact that the preliminary prepa rations are being made to send for ward additional troops In case of need. A telegram will be sent to General MacArthur at Manila this afternoon, asking how large a force he can spare, should It become necessary to send them to China. No answer to this In quiry is expected before tomorrow, when instructions may be sent to have transports and troops in readiness to sail. It Is said that it is not the purpose of the president to dispatch these ad ditional troops at once, except in the event that the situation becomes even more grave '.han at present. The cable gram to MacArthur was a precaution ary measure, taken with a view to being in readiness to meet any emer gency. The cabinet session was largely oc cupied by the postmaster-general, who had returned from the Philadelphia convention, in telling the story of the convention. REVOLUTIONISTS ACTIVE. Land and Naval Battles in Colom bia. NEW YORK, June 22.

HO. E0B1BT BB00I8, Bon. Hobart Brooks, editor and ownsr ( ths Washington " Capital," ISM Penn sylvania Avenue, N. Washington, D. C, In a recent letter to Dr. Hartuian lay it Dear Sir It Is with great pleasure that I oan Watty as to the merits of Pt-ru-na. After suffering over a year with oatarrh I began taking Fe-ru-na. I took one bottle, and so great was the Iff sot that I rapidly recovered and am now enjoying good health. To all who suffer from debility of any kind I recom mend Pe-ru-na as a mort valuable tonlo. Hobart Brooki. Prof. J. F. Turner, Principal II. B. High school, Edgofleld, Tonn, In a recent letter sayst "I suffered for nine yean with catarrh, and after trying sev eral remedies I gave up, and concluded that there was no cure for me. I no tloed io many testimonials from prom inent men relative to Pe-ru-na that I ; onoloded to try one bottle, little ex ! pasting any help. I bad grown rather to believe that all catarrh cores were bothlng but frauds, bat your remedy IVra-n is the greatest panacea to-day rador. According to the latest advices there Is great excitement In Baran qullla and Cartegena, because of the appearance off Boca de Cennzas, n Inlet near Baranqullla, of a torpedo boat, a steamship and several sailing vessels. The craft are fully urmed and carry two thousand revolutionists who are under command of General Duran. The revolutionists Intend to attack Baranqullla by land and water. There are only about 2000 troops In Baranquilla. General Urlbe has report ed at Ocana with 5000 soldiers. He will proceed along the Magdalena River If General Duran should capture taran qullla. This would mean a decisive con flict. There Is neither cable nor steamship communication with Baranqullla. The result of the fighting will therefore Dot be known for several days. EUROPEAN CAPITAL INSURED. Companies Will Have to Pay for the Fun of the Boxer. NEW YORK. June 22. Inquiries at the New York office of several Brit ish Insurance companies, which are said to have large commitments In Chi na, showed that most of the railroad, manufacturing and commercial Inter ests of European capital are 'airly well Insured, and that many members of the diplomatic service of the sev eral western nations carry a certain amount of life Insurance. The marine insurance companies, particularly those insuring craft entering Chinese wa ters, are also affected, "So demands for insurance against "war risks" have been made at Lloyds, London, by shippers and consignees yet, although a number of Inquiries have been received. WORK FOR STARVING INDIANS. Arizona Tribes Will Be Employed on Vineyards. LOS ANGELE9, June 22.-Both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific oflclals are conferring with Thomas J. Hughes, a large vlneyardlsLof Fresno, in regard to a plan to rellee the destitute Pima and Papagoes Indians on the Gila reservation In Arizona. Labor for the vineyards is difficult to obtain, and Prof. J. T. Turner, Edgefield, Tenn. OF W1SM3GT0X, D. C. for those suffering with catarrh. I do not hesitate to recommeud It Before I had used one bottle I uutlced a great change in myself, and four bottles cured me sntlroly. I would not be without Po-rn-na for any consideration. ' The reason so many people getchron lo catarrh U, the discus gets firmly es tablished before It I recognised. They fool themselves by railing It tome other name than Its proper one catarrh. When people get iruto oatarrh they call It a cold. If they havs acute nasal catarrh it 1 called roryia. Endomlo catarrh they call lufluensa, and epi demic catarrh thoy name la grippe. When the catarrh reaches the throat It Is called tonsllltls, or laryogttli. Catarrh of the bronchial tubes U called bronchitis; catarrh of the lungi con lumptlon. Auy in torn si remedy that will core oatarrh in one location will core It In any other location. This Is why Pe-ru-na has become so Justly fam ous In the core of catarrhal diseases. It oares catarrh wherever located. Its cores remain. Pe-ru-na does not pal liate It cures. Mr. W. B. Steffy, Glooster, writes! I was afflicted with hereditary catarrh, and grow worse as I grow older, until my whole system seemed af fected. After try ing many doctors (?) cores, I bad almost given up hope, when I was Induced to try Pe-ru-na. Af tor trying one bottle I felt a gen Mr. W. R Bluffy, Ulouitur.O. eral strengthening of my system and after a few months Die of Pe-ru-na I was cured. That was two yean igo. I use Pe-ro-na every spring, so as to gel my system in good ibape for the sum mer." For a free book address Dr. Hsrtmaa, Columbus, Ohio. Hughe promises to transport the In- dlans from Phoenix to Fresno at his own exp-nse, provide the roads will , make a low rate, and he will pay them good wag.-s for labor. The superin tendent of the reservation has consent ed to tho plan, provided the authori ties nt Washington agree, and they have been appealed to. VESSELS OVERDUE.
