son TO suspect that this money did not be-
long to Bnrdsley. ns in thres years Bardsley
had given him e722, 900 for tho same pur-
pose. Charles Lnwrence, ex-assistant

John S. Dnyis, who was offered the presi

ing Firs-The California Exhibit
VIII Visit the Site.

BoGoTA Colombia, June 3.-The exhibit
which the South American republic of Col
ombia will make at the Worlds fair will be
a very notable and interesting one. Col
ombia's Worlds fair building will be mod
elsd after her national capitol at BoRota
The exterior will be in Imitation Of sand
stone. of which 1t is built. while the interior
will be pnrtitloned and celinged through
out with the precious hardwoods of the
country. comprising more than
hundred varieties both rough and
polished; an exhibition in wood alone,
a parallel to which has never
been presented by any other country in the
world. The interior will be filled with the
products of the country-coffee, cocoa, rub
Der, ivory, puts, wax, gums, fbers. etc
while the mineral exhibit will doubtless
be the richest ever shown in the United
States.
Within the building Indian women will
be seen weaving the much appreciated
Panama hat from fiber prepared on the
spot, all hand work, yet stripping and
weaving the fiber in threads as fine as
linen. An "Alpargarteria" (mnnufac-
tory OF hemp sandals) will be seen
in full operation, while the 'petnte''
Ga fine palm fiber matt will be turned
out by the native hand loom manipulated
by skillful workmen of the country. Ham
mock makers will braid the beautiful
grasses of Colombia into artistic work, all
of which cannot fail to find appreciative
purchasers thus leading to commerce in
these useful and valuable articles. These
latter exhibits will be made by private par
ties, but will have place within the Co
lombian building, because they present an
interesting and important feature of indus
tries SO exclusively Colombian that her ex-
hibit would not be complete without them.
Other exhibits bv private parties will be
made, the principal of which. and probably
the most valuable and interesting, will be
the recently discovered antiquities in solid
gold, weighing an aggregate of forty-eight
pounds, consisting of helmets. Idols, birds,
animals, ornaments, etc, valued Mt more
thnn $50 900. These obj. cts are all curionsy
and delicately hand wrought the work of
people who lived ages ago. but whose his
tory is lest to the world. These antiquities
were discovered buried in vaults or
tombs dtep down In the ground, supposed,
to have bean the burial place of a king
or cacique. This exhibit will be under
the direction of Lieut.. Lemly. of the United
States army. to whom great credit is due
for his successful efforts in having diverted
it to the United States. where it is hoped.
it may find a permanent place in the ma
tionai museum.

CHICAGO, June 9.-Talk for and against
the confirmation of Maxwell rs chief of the
horticultural bureau kept a couple of d.
rectors busy to-day. The California state
commission advocate Maxwell's cause.
and tho gentleman himself entered the
lists personally. The opposition was
volced principally by q repre-
sentative of the American association
OF nurserynen. The latter asserted that
Maxwell represented wine and citrus fruit
interests and implied that he was disposed
to slight other departments of horticulture.
MaxwelPs fate, it is expected will be
settled to. morrow.
The California state commission to- NOR
row will lay before tue ways and means
committee their plans for a state exhibit.
They wanted to construct a building simi
lar to the old mission and obtain the privi-
lege Of displaying and selling fruit, wines
and other products Of a perishable nature
They represented that they did not desire
but simply to conduct club which
would pay the expenses of continually re-
plenishing the display, The commission
was informed that the matter would have
to be settled the same "a the other privi
leges, by the payment OF u percentage of re-
CelpLS IoT SalGS. l. ue ub6 OF Gl6 SSate

sioners. If they wished to run Ii restaurant
it would have to come under the rules gov
erning other such privileges. TIE commits

road excitement here has subsidized some
what. The committee appointed TO solicit
funds are disgusted and more than S16,-

to complete the amount needed to purchase
the lands which were to be offered to Da-
Wis. Colby and their associates to build a
railroad to Castle from this point. Not a
word has been heard from Da-
Wis since he was here sometime
ago, and, owing to the scarcity of ready
money and the lack of interest among few
of the leading business men it is not by any
means cure that the matter of railroad to
Castle will not be deferred until another
year. At Castle it is reported very dull, and
many maintain that the camp cannot pros

cheaper transportation.
