THE CENTENNIAL
A Spring ReViVaI in Its Fl.
nancial Prospects.
GREAT BRITAIN TO AID TIE ENTERPRISE.

It's confidently expected that the English Par
lament win vote an adequate amount for delray.
ing the expenses OF the British representatives
at the Centennial. AS Austria, SWEDEN, Japan
and other countries have already set good ex-
ample En2land win, no doubt, follow u. The
answer OF the British Chancellor OF the Exeheduer
70 O query put to him recently by Mr.. II. Neville
GTenyllle. member for Mid-Somersetshlre. as to
the intention OF the British government In re-
gard to that question, indicates that Parliament
VIII be asked TO make such an Appropriation. The
present Chancellor Is Sir Stafford NOrthc0te, who
was member Of the JOINT Higa Commission in
1871, and VINO is known to be Sell disposed toward
this country ana deslrous OF seeing the Centennial
succeed. While In Washington he became very
popular, through the LIBERAL unprejudeed manner
In which be stucied American institutions. Mr..
Grenville's question was answered by Sir Stafford
as ows:-"That whe the cost OF the London
exhibitions (of which the WORLDS Fair OF 1851 was
the nrsD had been betrayed by entrance charges,
&C., it had been the practice OF the various govern
mentg concerned IN the Exhibitions held at Paris,
Vienna and elsewhere to make grants OF money
TO meet the expenditure there incurred
by their own subjects; that, In the case
OF the Paris Exhibition oil 1855, the Brit
ish Parliament granted 100000, and in that
OF 1867 the sum OF el16,O0) for such purpose; that,
for the Vienna Exhibition OF 1873 Parliament pro.
vlded only f2s.760 but That sum was supple'
mented by various muniacent contributions
amounting to Ella, U00; that "A good deal had been

that he believed money grants were abou6 20 be
made by different countries to the Exhibition OF
1876 in Philadelphia; that when the present British
government came nto ONCE last spring tney iound
that the question OF contributing toward the
Centennial Exhibition al Philadelphia had been
en- ertaned by their predecessors. bot not decided
upon; that, looking 10 the prac Ice OF other ma
tlons they thought " would ne only right TO follow
Ii in the present instance. and tnat. therefore,
Parliament would be asked TO contribute TO tho
Exhibition OF 1875 at Philadelphia"
RECEPTION or Tue REPLY.
The Official reports OF the proceedings say than
this announcement by the Chancenor " the Ex-
cnequer was received with cheers by the House OF
Commons, and tnat no unfrieRdlv criticism was
evoked by Ii. Jt quite likely that the question
put Tor the very purpose OF giving the govern
ment an opportunity TO declare Is- Ia tentions on
the subject, aud, probably, at the Instance OF
Sir Stafford himself one OF the PRINCIPAL London
newspapers, in commenting edlt0rlally upon this
