man Hiscock raised the question of the
quality of the subscriptions to the 3d.

that Mr.. Lyman Gage, chairman of the
| financ ce committee, had appeared before
the worlds fair committee of the house
and testified that SO per cent. of the sub
scriptions could be collected in cash, and
he (FarwelD had asked Mr.. Gage to make
