COLUMBIAN EXHIBIT
A Big Days Work by the
Commission.
CASH PRIZES FOR LIVE STOCK
The Government Asked to Furnish
Certificates and Medals for
Foreign Exhibits.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.--The national com.
mission to-day adopted number of
committee reports. including that Of ,ho
judiciary committee opposing the re-
duction of salaries.
The report of the executive committee
on the esta biishment of bureaus of tariff
and transportation and the com nittee
report in regard to apportionments were
referred to the special committee, which
yesterday reported on the powers OF the
commission.
Another important action was the de.
cision of the question whether or not
money awards should be granted to
exhibitors. The live stock men were de-
manding substantial awards in cash and
threatening not to mako an exhibit un.
less their demands were complied with.
Commiss ionor Russell, OF Nevada, in.
troduced "a resolution that the local
director be asked to appropriate $4,000
for live stock premiums. This was car.
ried and Immediately afterward the re-
port of the joint committee on awards
was introduced, providing there shall ba
awards to consist of parchment certih-
cate accompanied by bronze medals, to
DO granted upon specific points OF ex-
collence or advancement, formulated by
the board of judges or examiners.
In the opinion of the joint COMMITTEES
1t is ominently fitting that the govern.
ment should furnish these certificates
and medals, especially in the case OF
foreign exhibits, but there does not ap-
pear to be any provision made therefor
in the existing appropriations of con.
gress. This report was laid over
Then more duplicated matter came
up on the question: what arc the
lady managers here ior2'
After some talk the commissioners laid
the matter on the table and the ladies
were left to settle 1t to suit themselves.
The Journal said this evening: Tho
local board OF directors propose to take
definite issue with the national commits
sion ON the question of jurisdiction,
they not liking the special report made
to the commission yesterday.
1t is learned tonight that tue story Is
true that the directors, under the opln-
ion of eminent lawyers, have formulated
u document setting forth the direction
of the work of preparing the grounds
and putting up buildings, ana agencies
employed are entirely within the con-
troll of the local directors,
nor has the commission any
right to exercise any general or other
supervision over the construction of
building, or expenditure OF money con-
nected Herewith, except TO require the
buildings to be constructed in accord
abce with the plans adopted.
The directors hold the capital of tho
corporation not subject i'll any manner
to the control OF the com mission.
1t Is further declared, while congress
confers upon the commission the power
.s.N Ia hlwlN
etc, II does not preclude the directors
from establishing at home or abroad any
agency for the purpose of promoting the
interests of the exposition.
A conference will be held with the
commission committee Monday.

agency in squads preparing to draw ra-
tons Tomorrow Much loud talk il
heard. The Indians mainly disclaim
any hostile intentions. Their attitude,
however, does not satisfy either General
Brooke or Agent Roe Roger. The fear is
that many dancers will decline to come
TO the agency tor ratlons. but organize
an irsurrection In tAe county bordering
on the reservation, In order that this
phase of the question may be properly
met, General Brooke has ordered large
body of troops from Omaha and other

DEPEw INTERVIEWED.
He Gives His Ideas About the Trans
Continental Alliance.

NEw YoRK, Nov. 23.-In all interview
tonight regarding the proposed trans
continental alliance, Chauncey Depew
said he knew nothing of the particulars,
but that nothing can be done until the
Union Pacific matter is settled. He has
not the slightest doubt that Gould is to
have possession OF the Union Pacific,
and that Dillon will be president. He
understands, in a general way, that a
meeting OF presidents is to be called.
Something in the nature of an alliance,
he added, must be done. Stockhod-
ers are becoming disgusted and will
force action If 1t is not otherwise brought
about. A railroad trust IS impossible
and an agree between the roads is
the only resource. Vanderbilt roads
will favor anything looking to an in
crease of values and stability OF rates.
President Hughitt, of the Northwest
ern road, who was in the city this even
ing, would not discuss tile situation
further than to say his road would ia
vor any movement looking to harmony
between trans-contincntnl lines.
