WORLDS FAIR EXHIBITS,
An Effort to Have Them Regulated BY the
Boards.

An Effort to Have Them Regulated by the
Boards.
Thirty-one state worlds fair organizations
were represented in the convention called to
meet yesterday in Chicago with the board Of
control, the department chiefs and the direc-
tors of the exposition. Fully $50 people were
present. about half of them being women dele
gates from the state boards. Delegate Graves
Of Wisconsin introduced the following:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this confer
ence that all applications for space from ex-
hibitors residing in the United States DO made
to the several state boards direct and by them
forwarded to the director general, and
that no allotment of space to individual or
corporate exhibitors be finally awarded without
the approval Of the state from which such ap-
plication is fled"
The resolution was laid over until TODAY.
From indications it will give rise to a lively
discussion.
The director generals report was read and
the board went into executive session to dis
cuss the Graves resolution. One of the mem.
bers said at the close of the session that while
they wanted the cooperation Of the state or
CARNATIONS and were inclined to confer some
power on them they would not consent to any
such broad division of the control over ex-
hibits as the Graves resolution contemplated.

High Commendation, but Poor Pay.
the Editor of The EyanfnQ Star.

70 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
observed in The STAR in your extract from
the report of Commodore Folger. chief of the
bureau Of ordnance, to the Secretary Of the
Navy a very high compliment to the mechanics
Of the Washington gun shop, under the head Of
'The Washington Gun Shop" ie.: 1T is per-
haps unnecessary to state, and it is fact which
is generally acknowledged, that the gun fac
tory at the Washington navy yard has proved
itself successful in the direction Of economy
and efficiency. Ordnance material of every de-
scription is now manufactured in this estab-
lishment cheaper than outside contractors will
agree to undertake the work." &c. In view of
this statement by the chief of the bureau
wish to inquire il any reason can be given
why the pay Of the class of men who can pro-
duce all ordnance for less than contractors are
willing to take the work for is not higher than
S304 per diem. If such work can be produced
economically and accurately, to the satisfaction
OF the officials. am sure 1t must be the result
Of higher class of skill and efficiency than the
contractors command How many of your
readers have any idea of how much thousandth
OF an inch is? Not q multitude. imagine. But,
nevertheless, in turning gun for shrinking on
the jacket the sizes vary by that much the en-
tire length Of the jacket. This must be turned
without an error; II by accident a gauge is
made q hundredth part Of an inch out Of the
way the machinist is held responsible and is
forthwith discharged.
would beg Of you to let The STAR shine its
brightest in advocating higher rate of pay for
the class of mechanics whose chief writes of
their skill and efficiency as quoted from his re-
port 1t il well to get all the credit one can for
his ability. but such return 1t is not substan-
tial enough. A MECHANIC.

designs representing the Deity. Ii was in the

consultation he wac told that be would have

FOR three days, only having the bandage re-

when he did SO he found himself on the borders
OF the Pacific ocean. The Indians had gone.
leaving him nothing to guide him back to the

q FORBIDDEN CITY.

taiua


tains.
Mr.. Juan Averez, Who has Just returned to
the City OF Mexico, says q correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press from an exploring ex-
petition in the southwest part of the republic,
reports that he has found . city which has
never been entered by white men and which
has evidently been in existence for hundreds
OF years, going back before the time of the con-
quest Of the country by the Spaniards.
1t is an old Aztec city, and the approaches to
1t are so guarded by nature that il is an inn
possibility to reach il, if the inhabitants do not
want the traveller 70 get in. The city lies in
the almost inaccessible mountains, in the region
OF tho country lying in the extreme southwest.
ern part Of the country. and is 40 far away
from civilization that few white men have over
been in the neighborhood.
1t was by tho purest accident that Alverez
became aware that city was anywhere in the
vicinity and. after he found it. all Of his en-
deavors to reach IL we're unavailing on account
OF the persistent opposition of the natives. He
had been travelling over the mountains in
search OF sn outlet to the Pacific ocean when
ne came 70 the top CT an elevated plateau and
crossed 10 the frather edge. He had . magnif-
cent view and while looking over the country
saw what he took to be houses in . far distant
valley. A close inspection with . glass soon
convinced him that what he saw WAS really
collection OF houses and he at once set about
reaching the place to see who lived in that part
OF the country.

THE RAaaRD APPROACH.

After days Of hard work, climbing over cliffs
AND mountains. he reached place from which
he obtained good view Of the city and saw
that it was regularly laid out in streets and was
peopled with a race who knew something about
civilization. The houses were of stone and
were surrounded by yards, in which were grow
Ing flowers and shrubs. On ali sides we're evil
dences OF taste shown by the inhabitants and it
was evident that he had found city which was
not known to the outside world. careful
examination of the country showed him
that the city was within a natural amphithe-
alter, and was accessible from one side only.
He saw that the only means of access was
through long and narrow deiile which led into
the mountains from the Pacific coast SIDE, and
he started to reach the place where he could
find this entrance. He made an outline draw
ing OF the city as 1t appeared to him from the
distant mountain top, and this is all he has to
show that there is city within the heart of the
