WORK OF THE TREASURY COMMISSION.
1T IS INsTRUCTING MINISTER'S AND CoNsUIs
ABROAD ABOUT THE DETAILS OF
THE WORLDS FAIR.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Washington Aug. Awhile the Worlds Fair Com
missioners, Mr.. Butterworth and his associates are
visiting the several capitals of Europe and giving their
attention to the general aspects of the undertaking an
important work Is being done in detail by the three
Commissioners who directly represent the Treasury De
partment in connection with the admission of foreign
exhibits General Grosvenor, Professor Ellis aud Mr.
Butler. These gentlemen visiting the United
states Ministers. Consuls and consular agents in all
the principal cities and towns both in Great Britain
and the continent and famillarizing them not only
with the scope and needs Of the Exposition in a gen
era way, but particularly with the regulations which
will govern the transit admission and reshpments of
the goods of foreign exhibitors. They coming
directly in contact with the officials appointed by the
various foreign Governments to represent those Gov
ernments in connection with the Columbian EXPOSE
ton and in many they reach and confer with in
tending exhibitors themselves. In many instances
they invited to appear before the Boards OF Trade
and other commercial bodies representatives of the
United States Government Tor the purpose of explain
ing all the arrng emens touching foreign exhibits and
on those occasions they piled with numberless
questions which indicate the interest that is felt in the
enterprise.
They report to the Treasury Department that
apparent absence of interest manifested hitherto
seems to have been due rather to a lack of in
formation than TO indsposon TO participate. They
say, among other things that satisfactory volume Of
foreign exhibits would be greatly facilitated If 1t
possible 10 inform exhibitors beforehand of the exact
of transportation from the several ports Of Europe
to Chicago and return. The Exposition being located In
interior city, questions In this respect raised
which did not have to be met in former instance.
The recommendation is made that the Exposition
thOrties lose time in arranging uniform scale Of
transit charges with the several leading transportation
companies so that intending exhibitors may know
early practicable just what TO depend upon, and be
able to estimate with reasonable accuracy the expense
which they are to incur
The Treasury representatives are doing much to
move misapprehensOns which had arisen out of hostile
or ignorant comment from various sources.
