The Centennial Exhibition.
In talking with gentlemen to-day Sec
rotary Fish expressed himself as OPP
posed to making the Centennial Exhibi-
ton in Philadelphia in 1876, an interna-
tional affair, on the grounds that it might
prove failure, while as national affair
it would be a great success. Mr.. Fish
said the bill passed by the House, and
now pending in the Senate, directing the
President to invite foreign governments
to participate in the exhibition, would
fully commit the Government to the pro-
ject. The European Governments he
said had never invited the United States
to participate in their Worlds fairs.
The most they had done was to send
notice to the President that such a fair
would be held, and expressing hope
that the United Stat; $ would send arti-
cles for exhibition.
