- 81 4 a The vienna Failure
VIENNA, Aug. 25.-Of the 10000 medals
awarded to exhibitors at the Exposition
Fair, four hundred go to America. There
is much dissatisfaction with the results of
the Exposition. 1t is charged that num-
Der of articles which were never entered
for competition received medals, and that
several firms, which had none of their
goods on exhibition, were awarded di-
plomas through the nanipulations of the
jjuries. .----.----.-.----
1t is alleged that those who know how
the prizes were secured will attach no val
ue to the medals of the Vienra Exposition.
The quantity of goods and specimens
which will be returned home from the
American department., is very small
Most of the stuff will be sold here. The
exhibitors have been leaving in crowds as
fast as they could get away, since the close
of the exposition.
Prosecutions Urged.
MADRID, Aug. 25.-In the Cortes to-day,
Senior Olave demanded the prosecution of
Hidalgo, on the charge of having aban-
doned his post as Captain of the iron clad,
Victoria. He inquired of the Ministers
whether the report, that Hidalgo was going
to Washington on mission to the United
States Government, was correct. In con-
sequence of Olaye's action duel with Hi
dalgO was imminent, but 1T is thought, by
the Intervention of friends the meeting
has been avoided. '' . s"aH .aa efafs7 9t
