SHE'S GOT THE CASH.

Representative ChicogOans katisfy the
worid's Fair Committee VI tho Garden
City's Ability TO Make . Success Of the
Big Show.
WASHINGTON. March I've had
very satisfactory meeting" said Con-
gressman Gambler tMass.), chairman
Of the worlds fair committee.
Thursday night. Immediately after the
adjournment of the conference between
the special worlds fair subcommittee
and the delegation Of tho representative
men which arrived here from Chicago
during the afternoon to confer with the
committee in regard to the worlds fair
bill.
The conference. which was of an in
formal character. lasted about two
hours and was held in one Of the parlors
of the Riggs House. The time was
chiefly consumed in an explanation OF
the financial situation. Mr.. Lyman J.
Gage. president OF the First National
Bank Of Chicago, explained this to the
members OF the subcommittee. He
said that Chicago had subscription of
more than S5,0O0,0O0, which was col
lectahle under the laws Of the State of
Illinois. lie read the list of subscribers,
and said they were all known men OF
wealth and standing. Mr.. Gage then
said that in about ten or twelve days
the fair organization wonld is incor-
poratcd and would begin work. There
was no doubt that as soon as this was
effected it would quickly secure SUBJ
scriptions for Sl,O00,OO0 or more. This
would make from $4,000, 900 to $7,OOo,-
600, and was all that was neces-
sary ut present. With this amount
in cash there would be no difficulty in
raising by means of bonds or otherwise
the $40, 900, 900 which Chicago had guar
anteed. As to the Government appropri-
alton Chicago's representatives said they
had nothing to say. They left that en-
tirely with tho committee and with
Congress.
The question OF postponing the fair
until 1898 was mooted, and 1t was evil
dent that there was strong sentiment
in favor of the proposition, though in
this matter also the Chicago men
placed themselves entirely in the
hands OF Congress. While they were
willing to defer to Congress as to the
time for holding the fair, they wanted
it expressly understood that Chicago
did not ask any postpoaement Chi
cago. it was said. could finish her build
ings and make the fair success If held
In 1892
With respect to the Government *p-
propriations Chairman Gambler said that
it had been understood in committee
that 81, 500. 600 was the outside limit
which would be recommended for this
purpose. and the amount which the
committee would name in the bill to be
expended upon the Government exhibit
would not exceed this sum.
