NEEDS OF THE EXPOSITION.
congressman Being ButtOnhoIed by the
Committee of the Commissioners.


Committee of the Commissioners
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The commits
siOners from the New Orleans exposition
have spent the day representing its needy
condition to COngressmen. They saw
that unless Congress makes a further
appropriation of $780, 600 at once for the
exposition it must close its doors. Their
appeals do not seem to move the Congress
men. 1t is very unlikely that any further
appropriation will be made for the ex-
position. Congressman consider the
former "Ioan' permanent Investment,
and do not, to use the expression of a
western member of the House Appro-
prlauOns committee, 'care to send good
money after bad"
The committee called upon the Presi-
dent yesterday and left with him a state
ment OF the financial affairs of the eXposi-
tiOn prepared by the board of manage
ment, and the memorial of that body ask
ing that he recommend to Congress the
granting of an additional appropriation
TO AID IN carrying on the exposition.
THE FINANCIAL EXHIBIT.
The statement gives in detail the items
OF expenditure from the fund originally
appropriated by Congress, and sets forth
tA4eNS ShC management Is uOW Ill ueDJ 10
the amount of $3.50, 600. The memorial
recites various untOward circumstances
Whlch have operated against the success
ful conduct OF the exposition, and states
that matters are in such shape now that
II payment OF the debt can be secured,
and an additional appropriation for fur
ther expenses be obtained, there is every
reason to expect that the eX-
position can be carried out successfully.
The total amount asked for is $500, 600.
The committee, in presenting the me-
moral, urged on the President the neces-
sity of immediate favorable action upon
its recommendation. They argued that as
a matter Of justice to the several States
and Territories which have spent large
sums of money in preparing and sending
exhibits to the exposition and to the
various foreign governments which have
accepted the invitation of the United
states to be represented therein the ex-
position should not now be allowed to fail
The committee is hopeful of favorable
action by the President upon the memo
rial and will remain here to urge the
matter on Congress-.

AN ORDER TO NAVAL OFFICERS.
Communications to Congress Must be
Made Through Department Channels


WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The Secretary
of the Navy has issued the following
general order:
All petitions, remOnstrances, memorials and
communications from any officer or officers OF
the navy or navy corps, whether on the re-
tired or active list, addressed to Congress- or
to any committee of Congress, or to any mem
ber OF Congress on any subject of legislation
pending, proposed or suggested will be for
warded through the Navy Department and
not otherwise except by authority of the de-
partment, and no officer will appear before
any committee of Congress except by such
authority. Strict compliance with this order
will be required.
1t is understood that this order was
prompted by the action of a number of
naval officers in uniting in a protest to
Congress against the passage of the reso-
luton thanking Commodore Schley and
Lieut.. Emory, of the Greely relief expe-
dition. The Secretary has addressed a
circular letter to the officers who signed
the petition calling their attention to the
fact that they have violated the naval
regulation which fOrbids officers of the
navy from attempting to influence legisla-
tion. The only action taken by Secretary
Chandler in regard to the proposed vote OF
thanks was to address a letter to Senator
Hale, of the Senate Naval Committee, in
which he says that while he preferred
that no name should be mentioned in the
resolution, if it was decided otherwise, il
would. in his opinion, be unjust to Com.
mander Coffin, of the Alert, to omit his
name

Judge Mann Declares Valid the Deed
Made by the Directors Last May.
PETERSBURG, VA, Feb. 9.-In the Hust-
ings Court to-day Judge Mann rendered
his opinion as to the validity of the deed
made on May 10 last by the directors of
the defunct Planters and Mechanics
Bank. The deed was assailed by the
State of Virginia, which had on deposit

Union National Bank of the city of New
York, and other judgment creditors.
Judge Mann renders the opinion that the
deed is valid one, and DEGREES that the
funds now in the hands OF the trustees
of the bank be distributed
pro rata among the creditors. The
trustees have on hand 5000 sufficient to
pay creditors dividend of 20 per cent.
The petition Of j. r. Wagesdale, Treas
urer of the Commonwealth of Virginia
which has been treated as a cross bill, is
dismissed, and the demurrer to the bill of
the Union National Bank of the city of
New York is sustained. The counsel for
the State asked for suspension of the
order with a view to taking an appeal to
the Supreme Court of Appeals, which was
granted.

A Conspiracy to Buy New YOrk's Vote

A rumOr has been whispered about here
to-day, says Philadelphia special to the
New York World of Feb. s, that a bold
scheme to have the vote of New York
counted for Blaine was hatched at the
rooms OF the Republican Committee I'M
medlately after the election, and would
doubtless have Dcen put into effect had it
not been that it was Givulged to the Dem
ocrats by prominent Federal office
holder here, who, in consideration of
this friendly act, was promised to
be looked after by the incoming admin
Istration. The plan included heavy
assessment Of all government employees
and the expenditure Of the money thus
secured in buying up the Boards OF Cam
vassers in the Democratic counties of
New York. The assessment is known to
nave been made in this city and else
Where. 1nat 1t was not put to the pur-

The Republicans thus warned. saw
that there was traitor somewhere in
their camp and did not dare to go further,
tearing that their scheme would be ex-
plOded. 1t is said that ever since that
time efforts have been made to get down
to the facts Of the case, and that after
much persuasion the official who gave the
first warning has been induced to say
more. Indeed, It is alleged that evidence
of most damaging character to those in
the conspiracy has been secured in the
shape of correspondence, etc, and steps
have already been taken looking to the
prosecution of the guilty parties. A
prominent Democratic lawyer of this city,
the rumor goes, has been retained on the
matter and action will Immediately fol-
low President Cleveland's Inauguration.
The present apparent apathy is accounted
for by the fact that it is not desired to
throw suspicion upon the Republican
official until the new administration is in
a position to reward him.
