INTEREST IN THE DISPATCH TOPICS

Yesterday was another big day at the Ex-
position. Indeed, the fears of some people
that the attendance this year would not be
large has now changed to conjectures as to
how the crowds that will come by
and-by are to be accom- m odated.
There were two excursions over the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad. A number of
prominent visitors were present from differ
ent sections of the States and not a few from
foreign countries. All Joined in SAYING that
the Exposition was certainly a great credit
to Pittsburg.
A party of 25 local art students visited the
art gallery yesterday afternoon. Among
those who viewed the paintings were also a
number of New York critics.
The school children were again at the Ex-
position in full force, but Manager John
ston says that he had no fault to find with
their action, and his hint, given in the pa
pers yesterday, has evidently had its effect.
Principal c. A. Riddle, of the Minersville
school, was present in person with several
teachers to supervise and attend to the chill
dren.
DENIED BY MORROW.
Superintendent Morrow, of the Ale
gheDy schools, denies In full the allega-
tions that Allegheny school children over
ran the Exposition buildings Wednesday.
The Superintendent says that no tickets
were given out until o'clock on Wednes-
day, and then only in the First ward. An
investigation was made yesterday, and it was
found that only about 100 tickets had been
used by the pupils, and they were mostly from
the advanced grades.
Mr.. Morrow says that if any damage is done
by pupils OF the Allegheny schools he is will
ing to settle for it, but he positively objects as
he says, to having the Northside schools slan-
dered. The remainder of the tickets will not
be given out TO the children until an explana-
tion is made. The Superintendent says he
would rather not have the tickets, II such re-
ports must follow.
Voting on popular topics at THE DISPATCH
headquarters continues to be an interesting
was, Should the National Government
aid in the construction of the pro-
posed Lake Erie Ship Canal?" The subject
while one that will before long be most promi-
nent had not been thought over by many The
question not having come to an issue yet some
people did not realize the importance of the de-
cisiOn of the National Government extending
aid for the construction of the proposed water
way, and, though few passed the stand without
reading the subject, not all were inclined to
vote.
A NEW IDEA.
Not few come up to the polling place and
said that it was new idea, but that there was
but hardly one view of it in the minds of the
Pennsylvania and that was that the Govern
ment should assist the enterprise
Said a prominent New York gentleman,
certainly the Government should aid in build
ing the canal 1t is a good way to dispose of
some of the surplus and think that the puild-
ing of the canal is of national importance. The
voters evidently thought the same as there
were only four noes registered against l93
