which passed last week fixes the m embership of the house at 97, and gives Pope one additional represent ative. An attempt was made 70 amend the bill in the senate but the effort failed. It will be apt to pass.
 The Worlds fair bill in the senate calls for an appropriation of $50, 900. Tbis sum may not suit the ideas of some of the more enthusiastic and liberal friends of the enterprise, but it is fully as mnch as the State Is able to expend in that direction. And with it the State ought to make a fine and creditable exhibit.
