COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
SpeCulatiOnS Regarding the iCCep'a1Ge Of
a Request for French Representation.

PARIS, Jan. 10.-A question of much in
terest now is how the invitation of the
United States asking France to lie repre-
sented at the Worlds Fair in Chicago will
be received. The matter will necessarily
come before the Ministry first. and un-
doubtedly the Mckinley bill will be brought
up. A prominent member of the Govern
ment said, however, that they know the
Mckinley tariff does not treat France so
severely as it does some countries, Germany
for instance. This may tend to give more
friendly reception to the invitation thaa
would otherwise be the case Furthermore,
the recent elections i'll the United States
lead to the hope for change in the course
OF the next Congress. Then, it would he
bad policy for France to decline to be repre-
senIed at the fair, and bearing in mind how
literally the Americans patr0nized the Paris
Exposition, he said he thought the invita-
ton would meet with the good will Of
France.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The sub-Com-
mittee OF the House Worlds Fair Commit
tee has come to an agreement which will be
reported to the full committee on Tuesday.
The report will recommend that no high
salaries be paid 10 the World'szFair officers,
and that the number of employees be cur
tailed as far as possible. The report is un-
derstood to advise leaving the management
of the fair in the hands of the local di-
rectory, with as little interfe renee as posi-
Bile from the National Commission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Vice-Presi-
dent laid before the Senate to-day protest
OF twenty-three members of the Idaho Legs-
lature against allowing Dubois to take his
seat. Referred to the Committee on Priyi-
leges and Elet toas.
Sherman reported from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs a bill proposing to issue
bonds guaranteed by the United States for
building the Nicaragua Ship Canal The
Dill, which was placed on the calendar re-
cites the importance of the canal project and
treats In detail the history of past negotia-
tlons on the subject. The report SAYS that
the work oil the private corporation on the
canal has advanced with great rapidity 4;
that the total cost of the project will be but
one-third more Than that of the Welland
Canal, and that it will be completed within
SIX years. The full cost of the work is set
down at S100,000000. The committee feels
that to secure this amount of money the
company Will be obliged to sell bonds at a
large discount, consequently it will be
necessary to impose heavy tolls on shipping,
and as the canal would really constitute a
part OIL the coast line of the United States,
therefore, the committee believe ii to be the
part OF economy, aside from considerations
OF national policy, for the United States
TO guarantee the bonds of the company to
shc aplounI Oh S1Ou,OOu,UOO, so that tney may
be sold at par. with the result of reducing,
first, the actual expenditures of the company
and, second, the tolls, which would other
wise amount to ST., 800. 600 annually. In its
present form the bill meets the objections
rals d by President Cleveland to the treaty
negotiated in 1884, as it does not commit the
United States to the defense of the territorial
Integrity OF the Central American States.
In conclusion, the report, which is unani-
nous, says: 1t is believed by your COM
mittee that the United States will not be
called upon to pay any portion of the prin-
clpal or interest of the bonds. but that tn e
work itself will amply repay all its costs and
yleld benefits not only to the people of
Nicaragua AID Costa Rica, but to the civil
lied world. If it appears at any time that
the interests OF the United States are in
jeopardy from any cause it can purchase
the majority of the stock and become the
controlling owner of the canal by paying its
own bonds in equal amount, and the prop.
erty tolls, income and. profits OF the canal
will be ample security against all the obli-
cations it assumes. The bill reported pro-
| vides that the capital stock of the company
shall be limited to 100000 600, and to COM
| plete the canal the company is authorized
| TO issue bonds to an amount not exceeding
the capital stock, dated January l. 1891, and
| payable January l, 1911, with interest at
per cent payable quarterly.

THE SUBSIDY BILL.
The Effect Its Passage Would Have on
American Shipping.

ton told me the other day." said General
Greener of Norfolk, that whether the
Farquhar Subsidy Bill passed or not, he
would shortly have 5000 men at work at
Newport News building ships He has an
immense dry-dock and improved machinery
for bodybuilding equal to any plant on the
Clyde. This will give Newport News tre-
mendous lift, and in a few years l expect to
see it city of forty or fifty thousand
people,"
No; the passage of the Subsidy Bill will
not give American ship-owners such an ad-
vantage tn at they can make lower freight
rates than foreign ships" said c. A. Girls
com of Philadelphia. There are no
American vessels at present in the ocean
carrying trade. If the Tonnage Bill is
passed 1t will only enable our ship-owners
10 engage IN foreign commerce by putting
them on some sort of equality with
ship-owners of other countries. We
VIII then be in position to COM
pete, but not to carry at less rates.
and the fear of some iron men that
ores will be brought from abroad so cheaply,
by reason of lowered transportation charges,
as to lnJure their business is unfounded
Rates will not decline. The American
owner Will not have such an enormous ad-
vantage even if he should get bonus of 20
cents ton per thousand miles sailed. He
must employ American officers and crew,
and their wages are ON an average nearly
double what are paid foreign seamen. l.
isn't the first cost of ship that makes its
operation impractieable, l wouldn't mind
paying few hundreds more for a vessel if
L could run it afterward as economically as
my competitors across the sea. 1t is the sub
seQuent expense, due to higher wages paid,
that handicapS American owners"
Opinion is divided as to the prospects for
the passage of EarQuhar'S bill next HupS-
day. Farquhar and Morrow are probably
more interested in the fate of the bill thau
any other Congressman. Farquhar seems
confident of success, but to il California
pressed grave fears of its failure to pass,
owing to the opposition of some Republican
leaders, among them Cannon of Illinois, who
will speak against the bill The factthat
he is Chairman of the Committee on Appro-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-In the House to-
day Butterworth, from the Committee on
Appropriations, reported the Legislative
Appropriations Bill. and it was placed on

The House then went into Committee OF
the Whole on the Army Appropriation Bill.
Cutcheon of Mi hgan, Chairman OF the

that the bill was purely an appropriation
measure, and contained no general legsla-
tion whatever. The amount carried was
S4oo, 400 more than the appropriation for the
current year.

SPRINGFIELD QlL). Jan. 10.-The stand
ing of the three Alliance members of the
lower house of the General Assembly in the
coming Senatorial fight is no longer one of
uncertainty. While it is not yet known
who their candidate will be, it is certain that
il will not be John NJ. Palmer. Representa-
tive Cockreil, in an interview this evening,
said that under no circumstances would he
or his colleagues support Palmer. They had
no objection to Palmer particularly, except
that he stands on the old Democratic doc
trine, that the Government can make moth
ing legal tender but gold and silver. What
we desire is per capita circulation aud we
want an American system of finance. We
have come to the conclusion that money is
neither silver nor gold nor any other mate
rial. This old Democratic idea of money,
which is also indorsed by the Republican
party, is a fraud. Cockrell further said that
1t is their ire vocable decision not to support
any caucus nominee Of the old parties, or
any man if they have any doubt as to his
views on the question of money We will
elect our man or force the Republican or
Democratic party to adopt our policy.
