COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
Presidents Proclamation to Be
Issued Next Week.

tfeSlUenCS PrOcIaHlatIOn TO bc
Issued Next Week.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Cot is learned
Oh the highest authority that there Is no
truth in the report that the president,
before he will issue the Columbian
worlds fair proclamation, will re-
quire that 100000 OF the
$1,000, 600 be paid in cash to Treasurer
Seeberger. 1t is learned from the same
source that the proclamation will be
ready for issuance very soon, probably
next week. The president has not yet
examined all the papers with regard to
the worlds fair, and for that reason
has not come to any conclusion
in the matter. The papers and
aflidayits thus far examined, it is said,
have been found satisfactory. Some
additional details with respect to the
financial responsibility of the fair bonds
and subscriptions were desired by the
president and Secretary Butterworth.
and Mr. Peek to-day went to the White
house with all affidavit cover
ing the point on which addit-
ional information was wanted. Both
the proclamation at an early date, as
foreign exhibitors are awaiting the Off
cial announcement by the president be-
fore they decide on sending any pro-
auctions or works to the fair.
The interview with the president, Mr..
Peck said, was entirely satisfactory
and he is confident that everything has
now been settled. Certain formalities
have yet to be complied with, but that,
it is thought, is all that remains to be
done. Mr.. Peck leaves the city to-
night, satisfied that everything is all
right and that nothing remains to detain
him here. 1t is understood that the
president has decided the matter of the
bono ordinance in favor of Chicago, and
has reached the conclusion that it is
legally binding and in the nature of a
contract. The bona fide character of
the subscriptions was attested by the
fact that under a % per cent call more
than Sl,000,0O0 had been paid in in cash
OF the total of s5,30O,OO0 subscribed.
