POWERS OF THE COMMISSION.
The federal commission of LOG men ap-
pointed by the President has more control
over the fair, according to the terms of the
law, than the Chicago people thought when
they were here. Their idea was to make
the federal commission chiefly ornamental,
but their lawyers drew the act So that
seemingly the determination of all impor-
tant questions connected with the exposi-
ton lies with the federal commission. Until
the federal commission is satisfied, and has
so certified to the President, that SIC, 600, 900
will be provided by Chicago, and that 5
per cent. on $4,000. 900 is already on deposit,
nothing can be done by the Chicago people.
THE INVITATIONS.
The invitations to foreign governments
are to be sent by the President on the
receipt of this certificate from the federal
commission, and presumably the federal
commission will appoint the exposition
agents, who are to be sent to all foreign
capitals to advertise the exposition. at an
estimated cost of $500, 900 or S400, ,0O0 hand
some salaries being paid to secure ex-United
States ministers. if possible, to the countries
in question. All the plans for the exposi-
tion, architectural as well as financial,
must be approved of by the federal com
mission, and it will have the disposition of
''the privileges" around the exposition.
valued at 81, 100000. 1t is not strange that
friction between the federal commission
and the Chicago people is already pre-
dicted
