TO LEASE FAIR GROUNDS
Topeta Exposition Co. Will 3Iate
Proposition to That End.
A meeting of the old Topeka. Kxpos-l-tlon
company was held last night in the
Commercial club rooms. Frank Foster
was the chaiiman of the meeting; Al
though it pj small in point of num
bers, it was large in it3 scope and the
preliminary plana for a large and popu
lar undertaking were discussed and com
mented upon.
The lack of numbers of members out
nt the meeting is accounted for by the
fact that the association has been prac
tically dead or sl-epin? for a consuov Ta
ble lentrth of time and the stockhuld.-rs
have almost fonrotten their orsMniza-tio.-.
However 1 of the 5:? stocknoidf-rs

Xlare.
A committer consisting- of M. A. Low,
r. O. Crane, Chas. famsw, O. P. Upde
praf and V. Kaczynski was appointed
to ranpult with the county commit lon
ers rt-lative to the possibility of securing
a l"are on the fair grounds for a term
of jears. It is unitarstood that t'r.e
county commissioners are favorable to
lett ner the grounds out to some oPsoci--
tio.n for such purposes as th? Topeka.
Kxrosition association has uVsierned.
Tiie commissioners have had proposi
ti'?, made them from private partita for
the r-'nt of the grounds but the com
rnl.f loners are of the opinion that the
rubric win derive more benefit and will
be !i lit r served by- letting the grounds
out to an a-c"ciu t i'n composed of re;
rest r.tativ? citizens than to b-t it out to
fn-.'at" parties, and therefore look with
favor upon the plan of the members of
the Kxposition association.
Tliis otniM.iitee vi ill make a report at
th next mevtinjr, at which time a large
attendance, is anticipated, and at this
time decisive action will be taken.

WHAT DID HE MEAN?
Eerlin Is Agitated by the Em
peror's (Jueer Speech.
Berlin. March 29. The conservative
papers do not discuss Krr.peror Wil
liam's speech to the Alexander grenadier
regiment at their nw barracks yester
day, but the liberal papers Renerally
comment on his majesty's utterances,
omphasizing- the statement that the em
I eror is ill informer! concerning' the
character of the March (1S48) revolution
in Herlin. The National Zeitumj ex
jTesws its inability to comprehend what
current events induced the emperor to
refer to the revolution in 1S4S, and says
it does not see any siKns of his mag-t-sty
needing: a bodyguard.
The Vossische Zeitung is also unable
to S"e any occasion for the emperor's
words, s-.nee nobody in Perlin is think
1'iar of a revolution, and his majesty's
i redieessirs repeatedly recognized the
loyalty of Berlin's population.
The Vorsvaerts cites a number of pre
vious speeches of the emperor exhort
ing the soldiers to figrht for him when
T eeessary. and claims it has authentic
.information that hia words were liter
ally as follows:
"If the city of Berlin should apain im
pudently and disobediently rise acr-inst
the kintr as in IMS, then my grenadiers.
It will be your duty witli the points of
your bayonets to annl il-l.e the im
pudent and disobedient."
The Tageblatt is amazed, and asks
what has occurred to justify the em
peror's words. It. points out that the
revolution of IMS was not directed
fcfrainst the Hchenzoliern dynast-, and
appeals "from the ill-informed emperor
to the emperor rightly informed."

TE1I3IS ARE TOO STRICT.
Promoters of a Canadian Railway Ob
ject to Government's Ideas.
Victoria. B. C March 29. When the
eoverrmient supporters meet in caucus
to consider the different propositions
forwarded to the administration in reply
to an investigation for tenders for the
construction of the coast Kootenay line,
they may find that the parties who ex
pected to lay their proposals before them
faiied to do bo. Promoters of the Vic
toria. Vancouver and Kastern now in
the city do not hesitate to say that they
will not table a tender under the terms
of the specifications which they hold to
be prohibitive. The principal terms of
the agreement which must be complied
with to render a tender possible are as
fellows:
1. The company must contribute to
the government four per cent of the
gross earnings of the road, said percent
age to ba a lirst charge on the railway.
2. All contracts must te submitted to
the lieutenant governor in council for
his approval, and all materials used in
construction of the road must be sub
ject to similar approval.
3. X(i aliens must be emploved in con
structlon unless it can be shown to the
government in council that the road can
not be bunt without recourse -to them.
5. The rates are to be subjected to the
some point on ancouver Island daily
rrom tne mainland.
5. The rates are to be subjected to tre
supervision of the government in coun
cil.
The ictoria, Vancouver & Eastern
promoters say that the imposition of
the first mentioned clause would be to
saddle the scheme with an incubus
which would be fatal to floatinsr the nec
essary loans. They also alleee that that
condition would be repugnant to the
Dominion statute, which provides that
running expenses must be lirst charges
on the earnings. Bondholders would also
object to any other charge taking pre
cedence of theirs. Four per centage of
the gross, they say. would mean about
twelve p?r cent of the net earnings. The
provision relating to aliens ia also con
sidered superfluous and ultra-vires of
the province, as Dominion laws prohibit
tne employment of aliens.
To Victorians there is some disap
pointmer.t in the fact that although tiro
vision is made for a daily ferry, Victoria
is net mentioned as one of the terminals
cf that railway and under the specifi
cations some other island point mnrht
be selected. It is feit in some quarters
tr.at tne conditions would not be ac
cepted even by the Canadian Pacific
railway and that no tender will be made
for it and the building of the road be
deterred.
RUSSIANS REFUSE
Decline a British Invitation to
Remove Their Flags.
Daily Mail
from Tien
London, March 29. The
has received the following
Tsin. dated yesterday:
"Colonel McDonald politely asked the
Russians to remove their flags from the
British portion of the disputed territory,
where they were surreptitiously placed
after a mutual evacuation had been
agreed upon. The Russian flatly de
clined. "It is understood that the question of
an arbitration on the title to the con
cession has not yet been settled."
A ROYAL ROD! GUARD.
Duties of the Regiment to Occupy the
New Berlin Barracks.
New Tork. March 29. A dispatch to
the Herald from Berlin says: In Berlin
the extraordinary speech of Emperor
William upon the occasion of the open
ing of the new barracks at Kupfergra
ben is attributed to the feelings of the
kaiser in regard to the Bremen outrage.
One account says that the emperor re
ferred to the proximity of the new bar
racks to the royal castle, and the fact
that the regiment would serve as a royal
bodysruard. The big barracks building
would, lie said, form a sort of tower in
the middle of the town of Berlin, and
would also serve to defend the city in
cas,? of ned.
"But." added his majesty, "if ever the
city of Berlin should again rise against
its ruler, the regiment would be called
uixvn to quell with its bayonets the in
subordination of the populace toward
their king."
FATHER COLTON'S RISE.
Selected as a Successor to Bishop
Wigger of Newark Diocese.
New York, March 29. The Press says:
Information contained in a private let
ter received here from Rome is that the
Rev. Charles H. Colton, of this city, has
been selected as the successor to Bishop
W. M. Wigerer. of the diocese of Newark.
Th information is said to be authentic

rate under Dr. Edward Mcfllynn. and
