The Public BuiIdings Ring.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-The public build
ings ring got the House to agree this afternoon
to 90 into committee of the whole to consider
the public building bills in preference to the
library bill or the Mexican pension bill, but
Mr.. Randall, by some vigorous filibustering,
prevented actual consideration of public
buildings bills until an early adjournment
was had. Tomorrow, it is understood, Mr..
Randall will bring forward appropriation
bills to check further general legislation. The
consular and diplomatic and the naval bills
have been reported, and the post Office and
fortifcations bills are understood to be ready
to report. Mr.. Randall proposes to keep the

The Management Urging the Citizens
to Open Their POcketbOoks.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. S.-Another delightful
day resulted in large attendance at the
Worlds Exposition. Work is being pushed
vigorously, and promises completion at an
early day. A mass meeting tonight was an
engrossing subject with exhibitors, eyidencing
the lively interest they took in the proceed
ings, on which so much depends. Nearly
every exhibitor was present at Washington
Artillery Hall, when Mayor Guillotte called
the immense assemblage to order. In his
opening remarks he stated the object
of the meeting to be to take into
consideration means of promoting the inter
ests Of the exposition. He impressed upon
his hearers the immensty of she enterprise
and declared that it's success was identical
with the prosperity OF the city.
Director General Burke followed with
long resume of the condition of affairs, and
urged the people to give assistance by sub
scriptlon to meet the obligations of the ex-
position, amounting to $250,000. He declared
that IL would be an everlasting disgrace to
New Orleans If the citizens allowed the eX-
position to receive assistance from any out
side sources.
Judge E. c. Fenner followed, re echoing
the sentiments Of Director General Burke,
after which II. Dudley Coleman offered a
resolution that committees be appointed on
subscription, transportation, and reception

President and other distinguished visitors.

Cars on Strike.
A New Orleans special of Jan. says: The
Board Of Managers Of the Exposition have
oeeu in session for several hours tonight
trying TO devise means to meet their financial
obligations. Some of the managers want
Gen. Burke TO 20 at once to Washington to
seek aid from Congress. He is trying 10 raise
the money in this city. About 5000 of the
original amount subscribed in this city has
not been paid in, and there seems to be dini-
Guilty in getting IL. The electric light men
went on strike last night, and turned of the
light IN the government building. as they had
not been paid. The men engaged in unloading
freight ears went on strike to-day. 1t was said
by one Of the managers tonight that money
would be raised at once to pay all these
small obligations. Gen. Burke Is SAID to have
advanced the means to pay good many of
them out Of his own pocket The jealOusies
and feelings growing out Of local political
matters are said TO have prevented money
from being raised in this city. The National
Cotton Planters Association, which was the
first to project the exposition, is holding alOOf
from the management, and has little to do
with the exposition at present. Some of the
exhibitors have expended many thousands of
dollars IN fitting up their exhibits, and the
foreign nations have come here at the invita-
tOn of the United states Government. Hence
the feeling here is that the government can
not hOnOrably allow the exposition to fail for
lack Of means. The receipts will not equal
expenses until everything Is in order and the
people come here IN larger numbers.

bondholders Of the East Tennessee, Virginia

tne company in this State, and appointed Gen.
E. p. Alexander and Rufus 7. Dorsey re-

The appointees have signifed their intention

the application for permanent receivers
OF the division Will be heard by
Judge William r. Hammond, of
the Atlanta circuit. on Jan. Is. The Geor-
gia division consists of about 450 miles of
| track IN good condition, supplied with a suffi-
cheney of rolling stock. The appointment of
the receivers creates an unusual stir in rail-
road circles tonight, particularly IN view OF
the fact that Henry Fink has already been

Atlanta. When the January interest is paid
the Georgia Treasury will need good deal of
bracing up. The next big pull at it Will be
defraying the expenses of the summer session
of the General Assembly. While it is not
known how long the Legislature will remain
in session, it is safe to say that it will use
up 100000. b. G. Lockett 4 Co., the most ex-
