house subcommittee on the World 8 fair
held another conference with the visiting
Chicago delegations to-day and completed
the bill, which will be presented to the
full committee as soon as the chairman
can call it together. The changes made
in the bill by the subcommittee are few,
and the principles of the original bill are
closely adhered to. The provision for a
national committee, composed Of two
members from each state, nominated by
the governors and appointed by the presi-
dent, has been retained, but an amend
ment has been added providing that the
commissioner shall be divided equal

commissioners are to have control of the
operation of the fair, the appointment of
juries, the distribution of awards, etc.;
but the Illinois corporation (Which is
recognized in the bilD is to prepare the
site, construct the buildings n retain
control of the financial affairs. The
president is not to appoint the commits
sioners until the Chicago men ave raised
SIS 900 900 outright, and given satisfac-
tory assurance of their ability to supply
another So 900 900 if it shall be needed.
The appropriation of 81 500 900
for the government exhibit
remains as in the original bill, so that
tn committe may change the amount if
so disposed. There has been considera-
BILE discussion of the advisability of
changing the date of the fair to 1898.

are ready to hold the fair in 1892, but
