chiefs OF bureaus and the Director
General will direct the destinies OF the
Worlds Fair. A board OF reference and
control. consisting OF eight members
from the National Commission and like
number from the local directory, VIII
constitute q conference committee to
settle all matters of difference that may
arise in the management OF the EXPOSE
ton. All this depends on the adoption
by the commission Of the report OF the
special committees of the two bodies APP
pointed to consider the question OF Iuris-
diction. The local directory adopted
the report unanimously this evening,
and it is expected that the commission
will take similar action tomorrow. The
committees avoided the jurisdiction
question and addressed themselves to
the task OF creating n system OF bureaus
that would leave out OF consideration all
disputes concerning the respective powers
and duties OF the two bodies.
RESULT oP THB CONFERENCE.
The result. after an all-day conference,
was plain that the chiefs of bureaus are
to be appointed by the Director-General,
subject to the approval Of the commits
sion and the directory. These chiefs
are to bear the stamp Of the commission.
The directory is to pay the salaries and
expenses of the bureaus, but has power
10 reduce the expenses OF any depart
meut when it deems such action
TO be in the interest OF the
Exposition. Material changes or
notifications of the plans of build
ings are TO be made subject to the
approval Of the two Committees or
| Grounds and Buildings. The bureaus
coincide with the departments OF the
classification system, TO which are added
bureaus Of forestry and forestry pro
ducts, publicity and promotion, and
foreign affairs. The creation OF bureau
of foreign affairs is not to contrayene the
rights and powers Of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs TO control the disburse-
ment Of the 1000 heretofore placed
under their control.
The Worlds Fair National Commits
sion to-day passed q resolution offered
by Commissioner Clagget, of Washing
ton, ID. c., that Congress be asked TO
allow the use of the penalty envelope Tor
the business Of the commission.

Mr.. cURTIs's SCHEME.
The Foreign Affairs Committees re-
port recommended the adoption OF w.
l.. Curtis's scheme TO establish south
American bureau at Washington. The
committee thought tho scheme would
produce an attractive and valuable ex-
hibit. Mr. Thatcher, OF New York, OPP
posed the report Hisprincipal objection,
he said, was TO the partisan and political
character Of tho scheme. The gentle
man who proposed the plan was better
equipped for it than any other man in
the country, but no personally repre-
scented a gentleman who is now Score
tary of State. He objected to having
the official seal OF the commission on
a matter of purely political purpose and
which he believed was originated tc
further the political aims of the gentle
man who occupied the chair OF state
Mr.. Jones offered q resolution declaring
that IL yasnot desirable TO open the presi
DENTAL campaign of 1892 on this floor al
this time and recommending that the
committees report be indefinitely post
poned. Mr.. Waller said there was not
shadow Of politics IN the report. There
was not a man on the committee who
would not despise himself If he thought
he had permitted politics TO influence
his action. If Blaine got any benefit by
the action OF the committee in arranging
for South American exhibit he WAS en-
titled TO it. Pending the discussion thu
commission adjourned.

The Board of Lady Managers resumed
