BACK FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Commissioner Homer Merrill returns
From the Worlds ExposItIon.

Hon. Homer Merrill, Wyoming's Com
missioner to the Worlds Exposition at
New Orleans, arrived in the city last even
ing on his way to his home at Rawlins.
During a conversation with a representa-
tive Of THE LEADER, Mr.. Merrill gave a
brief description Of the display made by
this Territory.
The Wyoming exhibit occupies a space
somewhat larger than Library Hall-be-
tween eighty and ninety feet long, by
thirty-ive feet wide. The exhibit is one
Of the finest Territorial displays in the
Exposition, although the appropriation
for its collection and mounting is of the
smallest Dakota has a very fine exhibit,
but that territory appropriated $40, 900 in
addition to the 5000 appropriated by
the government. Minnesota expends
$50,0 900, but Wyoming struggles along
with only the appropriation made by the
government, no funds being contributed
by the Territory.
Entirely across the center of the Wyo-
ing display are arranged three monster
blocks of coal. One of these weighs
5000 pounds and the Others weigh 1850
pounds each. The large blocks Of soda
and the mineral display attract considera-
bic attention, while the Indian relics CON
tributed by Harry Oelrichs, and the
agates loaned by L. W. Whitcomb are
objects OF interest to all visitors. A large
sign, forty feet long, with the nam of the
Territory thereon, visible from every part Of
the building, is suspended by fine wires
overlthe exhibit At one side of the ex-
hibit is the main elevator. Arranged heal
the elevator is the mineral display. This
is surmounted with the name of the Ter
ritory and is the first object noticed upon
entering the building, The vegetables
sent from Wyoming suffered the fate of
nearly all those sent TO the Exposition.
They were frost-bit while in transit,
and soon spoiled in the damp, warm tenn
perature at New Orleans.
Rain was falling when Mr.. Merrill left
New Orleans, but the weather was not
glaringly unpleasant. The Exposition
will be in full blast by the middle of JAN
uary, but the great gala time will doubt
less be during Mardi- Gras. Mr.. Merrill
will return to New Orleans about the LIST
of February, and will remain there until
the close of the Exposition. The Expo
sition is a success and attracts the atten-
ton of every civilized country on the
globe.

asked about the default on the January
coupons of the first mortgage bonds OF

company, Huntington said: "The fact
of the matter IS the Texas Central has
not earned interest on these bonds. The
bonds were issued when the road
was without competition and was
making money. They beer z per cent.
