The Secretary OF the Treasury to.eay re-
ceived an opinion from the Attorney Ged-
eral IN regard TO the msnner OF dsbursing
the appropriation OF S335,0O0 made at last
session of Congress for ''fual aid" to the
Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centennial
Exposition, now being held in the city OF
New Orleans. The Attorney General holds
that under the provisions Of the act making
the appropriation jt can be used only in the
payment of the claims of the persons aud
corporations living and doing business ont.
side Of the State OF Louisiana, and in the
payment OF premiums heretofore awarded or
which shall hereafter be awarded by the ex-
position in accordance with the lists OF
awards already published. Under this de-
cision none Of the claims made by residents
OF Louisiana, of which there are quite large
number, can be liquidated out of this appro.
priation. II was expected that after paying
the preferred claims against the exposition
there would be a balance of about $780, 600,
which could be used In paying the claims OF
residents OF Louisiana. Director General
OuIh0 udS uecu every no COulu
avail himself to accomplish this result. but
vas unable TO convince the Attorney Gen
eIal that such was the purpose OF Congress
in making the appropriation. It is likely
that complication will arise in regard to
the additional appropriation OF Sl5 900
made for the womAn's department Of the
exposition. IL is claimed both by the mad
ayers Of the exposition and by the ladies
having direct control OF the department. 1t
is likely, therefore, that the Attorney Gsn
ersl will be called on tc determine also who
is entitled 20 control the appropriation.
