Ex-Governor Crawford moved that the report be
adopted. ". A. Cole wished the date for the reas-
sembliug of the Commission to be March 10.
Racine d. Kellogg of Iowa. thought that accord
ing TO the charter the Commission could not adjourn
| until it had effected its permanent organization.
Ii might accomplish the same purpose. however by
| taking a recess until March. James II. Smart
thought also that the Commission could not adjourn
without electing its officers He said:
This work ought to be done in any case as soon as
possible If the gentlemen who compose the commit
semble at TIE end OF that time We must make haste
many St of e as sseed ow nd W
adjourn by March l. II intend TO get appropriations
from them for making State exhibits we must do II at
once.
W. A. Cole SAID that the selection of the officers Of
the Commission would probably depend to some
extent on the subscriptions. Inc work OF securing
these could not possibly be- done before February 10.
Abraham G. Adaus of Iowa, said that q great
many of the Commissioners from the West wo4Id
not be able to return to NewYork in amonth. lie
could n0t, certainly, but be willing to stay here
ten fifteen days If the work could be done in that
time
Joseph Carey, Of Wyoming Torritory, wanted the
Commission to adjourn for two weeks or until
March. lie thought that meeting in March won
be- well attended, as there was large number OF
people who going to Washington about that
TINE. As for the state Legislatures the Commits
sloners could go before them now and ask for APP
populations. They could assure them that the
Commission was fully organized, and that there
would surely be an Exhibition.
Mr. Stafford, of Arizona. thought that it was OF
vital Importance 10 20 to work at once. He said:
What IS hitting tins Fair is delay. am continually
asked II we are :. have an Exhibition We have got to
once we caunOt possibly have one.
David +. l. ter of Illinois. said
am opposed decidedly 10 giving ths committee moro
time. I"pp'elend that the Gertlenen whom the com.
mttee are looking tor live somewhere In or near inIs
city. do not believe that with the railways, the t"le-
era hs and the telephones at It's command, there "a
ecncmdn IN this city whom the committees eanuot reach
within twentv-iour hours. Until the committee
give more substantial Iois0ns for the delay than It has
yet, you must not expect i9e 10 wall mere tlreo
days or fourteen days Dr. Newman himself cannot
gave good for the delay. II liz generally
dersood, Delieve what gentlemen tins comnitee Is
looking for There have been only two or three names
ui0nrd tor the presidency. nstCa Of putting
Commissioners from "A distance great Inconvenience
by asking them to come 0nck here In two weeks
and hunt for The men they want, If th,y ineonvc
M themselves and those gentlemen sball the.
committee be infituctcd 10 report at that time.
r. >. Bcyier. OF Kentucky, thought that the Com
were bound TO accept The report of tho
II It's members enjoyed their confidence.
Tor the Exhibition to start well. The men whom |
the Commission wanted Tor officers could not bo |
delicate task to perform. It's members knew |
thoroughly, however, the men with whom they had |
TO deal aud they ought to be allowed to proceed III
their own way.
FREDERICK l.. Talcott said that the Success of the
Exhibition was not question OF presidents but a |
question of dollars aud cents and added:
Delays are dangerous. opposed therefore, to nd
ourning for any length Of mo Ie us come here at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, and Work from day 10
day until We win success.

Mr. Litter moved that the Commission adjourn

hought that II the CUnmIssOn should send OFT q |
omniltec to beat around for twcnty-fOnr hours for
