l. WASHINGTON, February 1.-The fol

l. president of the Centennial eXposi

UNITED STATES CENTENNIAL COMMISSION,
e Philadelphia, January rs.
l. To Hon. Joseph Il. Hawley, President Cen
e tennial Commission:
l. SIR--My attention has been called t.
certain dispatches from Washington
- referring to q rumOr that several news
l. paper correspondendents mad recent,
l. approached me on the subject of cen
t, tennial measures in Congress. Thu
l. dispatches were sent entirely withou
Y my knowledge and greatly eXaggerat
y the facts. 1t is reported that eight per
sons approached me to ask for compen
C sation for services they might be abb
II to render. But one person, MIR. Gal
:. lagher, representing himself to be /
II correspondent, applied to me for sucE
/ compensation for himself and two 9th
s ers associated with him, whose names
: were not given.
/ have since learned that he is not
j the correspondent of any leading jour
d nal, but gathers news for a large mum
Der of weekly papers in different Sec

regular correspondent in Washington
= He offered to send all our interesting
: items of news and all our announce
: ments promptly to all these papers, in
r order to keep the subject fresh in the
e minds of the people. He evidently re.
1 garded it as u mere advertising bust
: ness, and as such the offer was consid-
cred and respectfully declined. AS
e you are aware, the commission has al.
ways held that the exhibition will
e stand upon its own merits and its ma
/ tional character, and have been graft
= fled and encouraged to learn in my in
terviews with the correspondents OF
| the press at Washington that they re-
, gard the enterprise in the same light,
and will give it a fair and impartial
, consideration, and that they will unite
in condemning the demands or at
tempts on the part of any one to OBJ
: tain money for the support of measures
, pending in Congress. 1 regret exceed
ingly that the reports referred to have
been SO exaggerated, and that they
have given cause for embarrassment to
the gentlemen at Washington, who so
worthily represent their profession. l
have the honor to be,
your obedient servant,
