On our first page this morning will be
found letter from Hon. Charles p. Kimball,
one of the Centennial commissioners, giving
a full account of the situation of the affair at
this time. He concludes that the natcn is
committed to the International feature of the
celebration by the acceptance of invitations
by several foreign powers; but we understand
from Mr.. Kimball that he has always been
opposed to the project of a Congressional
appropriation. 1t is much to be hoped that
the lobby now besieging Congress will be
withdrawn, as any suspicion of a job would
be fatal to the responsibility, interest and
usefulness of the celebration.
