THE SAME OLD FIGHT,
The Worlds Fair National Commission
Ignores the Board of Control.

The Worlds Fair National Commission
Ignores the Board of Control.
CHICAGO. April 2-An attack on the Board
of Control took most of the time of the Worlds
Fair National Commission to-day. The Board
of Control had submitted q report reciring
that the board had partially approved the de-
cision of the local directory in locating all the
Exposition buildings at Jackson Park. 1t also
made change in the salaries Of the President
and Secretary of the Board OF Lady Managers
and had approved the appointment of bureau
chiefs made by Director General Davis. These
actions we're made the basis of the attack.
1t was contended that the members had ex-
ceeded their authority; that the questions of
SITE salaries and appointments were in the
Jurisdiction of the commission alone. In each
instance where point was raised the commits
sion voted to ignore the Board of Control and
consider the questions as if the board had
taken no action. While no final vote of the
comnlssion has been taken the opponents of
the board were victorious in every skirmish,
and have since talked vigorously of what they
may do tomorrow. It was intimated tonight
that they might make an attempt to abolish
the Board OF Control This would reopen the
old fight between the local directory and the
National Commission and leave the affairs of
the big Exposition once more in chaos.

WHAT BRAZIL NEEDS.

There are grave doubts as to the wisdom
of the financial policy now pursued by
Brazil. As the Government is of recent
foundation. a settled state of affairs can
scarcely be expected; but the wonderful
fnanciering now attracting attention is
almost without precedent. The banks are
given practically unlimited power to issue
paper money, new companies, capitalized
principally on wind, are organized every
day, and speculation runs riot. The situa-
tion is really serious, and furnishes first
class illustration OF the dangers that beset
new governments. The desire for improve
ment-the most rational of all desires-is
made the excuse for the most irrational of
policies. The crash will come, and, for the
good of the country, the sooner the better.
Brazil is in position to pursue con-
servative financial policy with great bene-
fit. The vast undeveloped portions of her
territory should, as they are opened to habi-
tation, be made pay all incidental expenses
and furnish profit besides. She need not
run into debt to develop her resources, nor
need she grant Europeans concessions profit
able to them but improbable to her. The
encouragement of good class of emigrants
is undoub ubtedly the best and most economi-
cal way of developing the country. They
Will, also, do much to counteract the ten
dency to revolution which seems to lurk in
the heart of almost every South American.
Some sturdy home-seekers are the most de-
sirable persons to Brazil just now; and if
she can guarantee them a permanent and
just form of government she should have no
trouble in getting them.

A TREASURY LOSS.
Supervising Architect Windrim to Accept
Office in Philadelphia.

Office in Philadelphia.
fFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WARRINGTON, April 2-James II. Windrim,
Supervising Architect of the Treasury, has
been rendered the Dictatorship of Public
Works in Philadelphia, and the possibilities
are that he will accept within the next few
days. Mr.. Windrim was appointed to his po-
sition by President Harrison at the beginning
of his administration, and while he was acting
in his official capacity, he was also drawing a
salary and attending to the architecture of the
Girard estate in Philadelphia. The result was
that Mr.. Windrim was unable to attend to his
duties to the estate in a manner that gave the
trustees entire satisfaction, and they have been
asking him to give up his Government position
and attend only to the Girard business. His
salary as architect of the Girard estate is
$4,000 year, while his pay as Supervising
Architect is an additional "a, 500
A day or two ago Mr.. Windrim was sum-
moned to Philadelphia, and had consultation
with Mayor-elect Stuart, and it was said at that
time that he had been offered the place. When
questioned to-day concerning the appointment,
he replied that ''he would answer that by say
ing that an acceptance could not be made till
the offer had been rendered" A close friend
of his, however, said that he had been asked to
accept the place. and that he would surely do
so. Mr.. Windrim's loss will be deeply felt by
all who have had any connection with him.
Director of the Mint Leech said to-day that it
would be nothing short of calamity to the
Treasury Department.

Sherman's Friends Make Decided Flank
Movement Against Him.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
COLUMBUS, April 2-The friends of Senator
Sherman in the Ohio Legislature have made a
flank move in opposition to Ex-Governor For
aker and other leaders in the party who have
been advocating the policy of having the next
Republican State Convention name the candi-
date for the United States Senate to succeed
Sherman. The idea has grown in some quar-
ters and is likely to prevail unless there is
something done to prevent II. Senator Sher-
man has already pronounced against the
scheme, and reliable private information is
that he is candidate to succeed himself, and
that he will make big fight toward securing
the next Legislature.
With few exceptions who are not special
friends of Sherman the Republican members
of the Legislature to-day signed letter ad-
dressed to the Senator at Nj Mansfield, in which
they make formal request for him to come to
Columbus at some time during the present ses-
sion and at date to suit his convenience for
the purpose of consultation on political mat
ters in general as regards the State, and posi-
bly, to take an expression as to the manner of
selecting the next Senator from Ohio. The
communication was forwarded tonight.

of the ROYAL Order Scottish Rites in this country
died at 8 O'Clock this evening. 1t is said that
General Pike has appointed Josiah II. Drummond
of Maine, as his successor and head Of the Royal
Order of Scotland, and 1t is probable that his sue
cessor in the Scottish Rite will be either Surgeon
General j. M. Brown. OF the navy; Thomas H.
Caswel of California, or Thomas NJ. Dudley of
kentucky. Albert Pike was well known to all
persons in this country interested in Free
Masonry, having held the highest offices in the

A WAR AMONG SUGAR MEN,

Chicago Wholesale Grooers Cutting the
Price of Sugar Down Low.
CHICAGO, April 2-There is a prospect of a
price war in sugar here among the jobbers. A
week or more ago the wholesale grocers, who
were then buying from the refners at ~ cents,
fixed the price of granulated sugar to 60 into
effect April l, with the reciprocity treaty, at AZ
cents per pound. Many merchants objected to
this on the ground that the market was not over
stocked, and there was nothing in the situation
to warrant selling at a loss. They were in the
minority and were overruled.
1t Is now said that they propose to fix prices
on their own account. Some sugar was sold
yesterday at ~ cents at retail. and carload
was shipped from here at S9-l00 cents. 1t is
not thought improbable that some leading
wholesale houses will make the price AZ, and
this may be followed by other cuts, the result
OF rivalry among dealers.
