WORLDS FAIR TROUBLES.
TWO HOT DEBATES IN THE MEETING
OF THE COMMISSION.

Tariff Notifications for the Exposition One
Bone of Contention-A Heavy Estimated
Excess of Expenses-The 80, ,OOO, ,0Os APP
peal to Congress Will Be Made.
CHICAGO, Sept. 4-Commission Towsley,
of Minnesota, precipitated heated debate
at the meeting of the National Columbian
Commission this afternoon by presenting a
resolution to the effect that the resolution
heretofore passed for the appointment of
committee to recommend certain modifca-
tions of the tariff law. in the interests Of
the Exposition, be reconsidered and ex-
plunged from the minutes.
Mr.. Towsley said that the rules of the
Treasury Department provided for the
whole work which it was proposed for the
committee to do in the matter of admission
of goods intended for exhibition at the Fair.
This action of the Commission, he said, was
liable to misconstruction, as it had been
publicly misconstrued as an attack by the
Commission on the Mckinley law. Fur
thermore, it would put the Commission at
Odds with Congress.
The resolution for the appointment OF
committee was reconsidered by vote Of 81
yeas to % nays, and it was referred TO the
Committee on Legislation.
A resolution pledging the Commission to-
take up and consider the Sunday closing
question as soon as it shonld properly come
before that body was unanimously passed.
The Auditing Committee presented its re-
port, showing an estimated excess of ex-
penses by the Commission for the year end
ing July l next of $4,000, In order to
avoid this the committee recommended that
the April meeting of the Commission be
Director General, be reduced by 5000;
that the salaries of s., 900 each of the Presi-
dent of the Commission and the Vice Chair
man of the Executive Committee, be dis
continued after October 1.
The Judiciary Committee reported unani-
mouslv in favor of indorsing the appeal for
a S., 600, 900 loan by the Government and
recommended that Congress pass the neces-
sary legislation. Another long and ami
mated debate followed, at the conclusion of
which the report was adopted, with only
three negative votes.

terposing to prevent the settlement pro-
posed last week to the creditors in behalf of
the company. The assignee has completed
his work as far as he can, and stands ready
to apply any plan of settlement which may
be agreed upon. The proposition made to
the creditors was to pay 80 cents on the dol
lar, 10 cents to be paid in cash November l,
1891, and 20 cents on November 1, 1892,
amply secured by deed of trust and mort

for the creditors This prolopition was
sent out August "a, and all the large credit
ors, except the firm of Carnegie, Phipps &
Co. have notified the company that they
will accept the terms offered.
The Pittsburg firm objects to the part of
the proposition which provides for adeferred
payment until November of next year. but
insists, if it accepts 35 per cent of its claim,
that the payment thereof shall be spot cash.
On the part of the company it is said that
this cannot be done, and that some other
means of winding up the affairs of the COM
pany will have to be adopted nnless the Car
negie firm recedes from its position and
joins the other creditors.
