I UNIQUE EXHIBITION. at the World’s Fair. PLEADING roE THE NEGRO. Ex-Miiiister to Asks President Harrison to Appoint a. Colored Official to Repre- sent the Race. Liberia Smyth . WASHINGTON, March 10.-—-Plans for the great Columbiaii exhibition at Chicago are beginning to shape themselves. Lieu- tenant A. C. Baker, the commissioner sent on behalf of the Colu-mbian exposi- ' tion to Mexico, forwards an interesting sketch for a plan of a Mexican exhibit at the exhibition, which was prepared and I submitted to the government of Mexico - by August Lakor and P. H. Balling, two well known artists of that republic. The report says: _ ' “Mexico, with all 'the other nations of the world, will participate in the grand ex— position to be held at Chicago in the year 1893, and this memorandum is for the pur— pose of submitting to the national govern- ment of Mexico, and the information of all others interested, a plan which we believe will be acceptable and will accomplish frilly the objects desired. “To present the Mexican republic in the . . . ' r . * '«rli have th 11 st Births, Engagements, Marnages and Deaths,‘ most far. orablc 11° t we e 10 abundant material—the history of Mexico. The Spaniards were the first to penetrate into the interior of the country, and they met there a most unexpected culture. They were surprised to find what great progress had been made by a nation which had no knowledge of Europe. \Ve there- fore take as a basis for an exhiblt the his- tory of the epoch of Fernando Cortez, and present the following plan: A Unique Exhibit. “At the front of the ground allotted to the Mexican government we suggest the erection of a building, and for this purpose the one erected by this government at the Paris‘exposition of 1890 may be utilized. Proceeding from this edifice we enter a street made to exactly represent in style and character a street in the ancient Te~ nochtitlon (Mexico). In the middle of it will be a canal, leading to the foot of the Teocalli (temple of the Aztecs), which is at the end of the street. Some Indians will be at hand to transport passengers in boats and canoes from one part of this street to another. “The houses on either side will vary in construction, representing the most char— acteristic buildings of Mexico, beginning with the liabitations of the poor Indian in the country districts and up to the palaces of the Aztec nobles. The interiors will serve to exhibit the industrial products and curiosities of ancient Mexico. “The building of these houses may be done by the state or the larger cities of the republic which may desire to take part. Specific information, plans and drawings will be furnished by the exposition com- mission. The houses and the tocalli will be surrounded by gardens laid out in an- cient style. The temple will be reproduced as exactly as possible from the traditions and authentic copies preserved by historical records. In its interior may be shown two semicircular panoramas. The Scene of the Conquest. “The first will depict the conquest of Mexico by Fernando CorteZ at the mo- ment when the Spaniards arrived at the center of the city. The tumult of war fills the streets. while beyond the clouds of smoke the blue mountains form the back- ground. It will also be interesting as showing the war trappings of the Span- iards and the rich armor and clothing of the Aztecs, as well as peculiar examples of. architecture and special scenery, occupy— ing a large space. The second will show modern Mexico, as seen from the terrace of the Castle of Chapultepec, and will be ‘ very beautiful. “In the foreground will be the park of Chapultepec, with its majestic trees, thou- sands of years old, and in the field at the left a regiment of soldiers engaged in mar- tial exercises. It will also show on a large scale the valley of Mexico, with the city and the great lakes surrounded by the mountains, among which may be seen Popocatapetl and Ixtaclimatl, forming one majestic whole, which will be a lifelong and interesting memory in the mind of every spectator." \Vliat Cuba \Vill DO. There has been received at the Latin . American bureau of the Columbian expo- sition a file of Cuban ”newspapers, which give interesting accounts of the first meet‘ ing of the commissioners to the exposition appointed by the governor general of Cuba. La' Union Constitucional, commenting editorially upon the first meeting of the board, says: “XVe have the pleasure of announcing to our readers that the first meeting of the board of promotion of the Chicago expo- sition, recently named by the governor general, was held in the rooms of the pro- vincial deputies in Havana on the evening of the 23d inst. Eighteen out of the twenty- eight members composing the board were present. After a full discussion, in which nearly all the members harmoniously took part, the following - resolutions were adopted: 1. That the governor general be notified that the board has met and begun its 13.- bors. ‘ 2. That provincial boards, similar to the present one in Havana, be created in the’ different parts of the island in order that the fullest results may be attained. 3. That the minutes of the meeting of the board shall show the appreciation felt for the hearty co-operation of the menu-- hers representing the press, and their ex- pressed purpose to assist in influencing public opinion in favor of the fullest rep- resentation of the island at the exposition. “4. That the board be divided into suit- able committees so as to properly represent all the various interests of the country, ap- pointed'by the president, who is tendered a vote of thanks, which committees will call before them all persons who may be able to give information and assist in the effective carrying out of the purpose for which the board was created. “We take great pleasure in pointing out the importance of this action, which can hardly be overestimated, leading, as it does, directly to the great purpose in view. We therefore once more recommend to our planters, manufacturers and mer- chants thc great benefit to be derived from and the urgent necessity fora worthy repre- sentation of the island of Cuba at the Co- lumbian Exposition to be held in Chicago.” A Plea. for the Negro Race. \VASHINO'I‘ON, Mai'ch10.——Joliri ll.b'niyth, ex~Unitcd States minister to Liberia, has ’ written a letter to President Harrison on the subject of the appoin tinent of a colored person to represent the negro race at the \Vork ’5 fair. After referring to the pass- age of the bill providing for the exposition, DAILY - NORWALK - l i l I I which, he says, is to consist of the indus- 5 trial, agricultural, scientific and art pro- ductions of the. men and women of the United States, he point-s outpthat no pro- vision is made in the bill for such separate display of the intellectual and physical ac- quisitions of the negro citizens as will show that they, as such, have done any- thing on the lines indicated. The fair, he says, cannot carry out and make good the purpose of the national dis- play without the distinct representation of all the people of this composite nation. The greatness, the glory, the grandeur of this nation, he argues, is as much the pride of the American negro as it is of the Amer- ican white man, and for the president to fail to appoint a colored man to represent the negro race at the exposition would seem to be an international insult offered to 6,000,000 loyal negro Americans. Dr. Smytli therefore asks that an officer of the exposition, of the negro race, be appointed, and that a place be made in the exposition for the display of negro industry, agricult- ural products, art and scientific achieve- ment, inventive genius and educational development. A hliiiiature Venice. CHICAGO, March 10.—Tlie bureau of con- struction of the \Vorld’s Coluinbian ex- position will make a change in the plans. for the pier which will run into the. lake. Instead of an ornamented casino at the chi] of the pier a Venetian village will be built. The houses will be reproductions of houses~ in Venice, built almost on a level with the lake, and will be used as restaurants and resorts. Scores of little steamers and orna~ mental gondolas will be used to convey the visitors through the Venetian streets, and the gondolas will be manned by crews in holiday attire, costumed after the pict- uresque manner of the gondoliers 01 Venice. At night» this village will be illu- initiated. A JEALOUS BIADDIAN’S CRIIVIE. He Shoots His “’ife, Daughter and 006k and Cuts His Own Throat.

NEW YORK, March 9.——The efforts which have been 011 foot for several days to bring about a settlement of the contest over'the millions of Daniel B. Fayerweather. have been successful, and in the surrogate’s court the will contest was declared at an end. The motion to withdraw the objec- tions to the probate was made on behalf of the contestants. The surrogate then final- ly declared the will and the four codicils admitted to probate. It is understood that the terms of the settlement are on the basis provided for by the deed of residuary legatees Bulkley, Bitch and Vaughan, previously published. They renounce all claim to the residuary estate except their fees as executors (about $50,000 each). The contestants receive in- creased legacies and the bulk of the estate goes to colleges and other institutions. It is a victory for the contestants, as the re- siduary legatees do not receive $4,000,000 or so absolutely in law, but under a moral promise to give it to institutions. They are bound even to the manner of the dis- tribution. The executors, on the other hand, claim that they had no intention from the start to retain any of the money to their personal use.
