THE UNITED STATES SM BBED
No Invitation to Participate In the
Grand Exposition In Jamaica.
New York, Jan. 22. A Wash
ington special says : The action of
the British government in declin
ing to endorse the efforts of the
managers of the approaching irrand
exposition at Jamaica, to secure
the participation of the govern
ment of the Lnited States, has
aroused great indignation at the
state department and among those
senators and representatives who
have been informed of the facts of
the case. . ...... ...
Secretary Blaine makes no con-
cealment of his belief that the
United States government was
purposely tnubbed by her ma
jesty's representatives, and an in
vestigation of the tacts shows
beyond dispute the only reason
why the Tnited States would not
be officially represented at the
exposition is that no invitation
was extended that could be prop
erly attended.
The exposition opens at Jamaica
en the 27th of this month, and the
governments of all countries of the
W estern Hemisphere will be rep
resented except the United States.
It has been alleged on the part of
Great Britain that an invitation
was sent to the United States, but
the most thorough search of the
records of the state department
has failed to bring to light any
communications which could te
construed to mean a formal invi
tation.

talking with Rev. Branch on the
street, when the girl came up and
tld her story. The father struck
him a terrific blow in the face
with his fist, fracturing his iaw
and knocking out several teeth.
The agent ran, but was overtaken
by the preacher and brought back
to the girl, where he was com
piled to kneel on the floor and
beg tier pardon in the presence of
hundreds of people. The crowd
would have lynched the fellow if
the preacher had not remonstrated.
