THE STATES OPPORTUNITY.

What Advantages Pennsylvania Would
Derive by an Extensiv. Display at the
Fair of Is93-Many South American Ex-
hfbitors Expected-Buildings Being De-
signed.
w. j. Buchanan, Chief of the Department
of Agriculture of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, was at the Monongahela last
night, on his way to Washington. Mr..
Buchanan is strongly of the opinion that
such an important industrial State as Pennsyl-
vsnia should be well represented at Chicago, in
1893 if it were only as matter of business.
He said thar even now arrangements were
made with passenger travelling companies rum
ming between the States and the South Ameri-
can countries for the conveyance of exhibitors
and tourists, and the Government had already
sent 4 commission OF L selected men to work
up sentiment in the Latin republics on the
question of being thoroughly represented at the
Worlds Fair There was every reason to be-
lieve these efforts would be successful, and
that large number of South Americans would
visit Chicago for the Exposition.
"ln such an event." said Mr.. Buchanan, sit Is
easy to see what IN advantage exhibitors would
derive from displaying their goods to people
from whom a vast amount of trade is reason
ably to be expected in the near future. Penn
sylvania FROM being strong in industrial
matters. would profit very largely through its
Mir. Buchanan says that IL acres have been
allotted to the buildings for the agricultural
exhibit, but there was sufficient room ad join
ing for large extensions, if deemed necessary.
A board of architects, composed of the cream
of the profession all over the country. was
busy in designing plans. The planning of the
various buildings was distributed among the
members of the board, S. 8. Beaman, of Chic
ago, being allotted the Agricultural Hall.
Mr.. Buchanan said that the general feeling
IN the West was that Pennsylvania would be
strongly to the 'front.' and he believed from
what he had himself learned that such would
be the case. 1t was expected. too, that this
State would not be unmlndful of the share her
sisters had taken IN her Centennial Exposition,
and would reciprocate in liberal mannre in
1898
Everything THE DISPATCH prints about
the Worlds Fair" said Mr.. Buchanan, "is ex-
tensively quoted in the West, showing the in
terest which the West takes in what way the
fair is regarded here. / lately noticed inter-
views with Mr.. Brewer and Mr.. McClelland in
TIE DISPATCH, which were copied broad
cast"
Mr.. Buchanan leaves for Washington this
morning.

THROWING OFF THE BLAME.
st. Francis Hospital May Be Held Response
bic for Diseharging Mary Fairmau.

st. Francis Hospital May Be Held hesponsl-
BILE for Discharging Mary Fairmau.
The case of Mrs. Mary Fairman, tho insane
woman. came up informally before Alderman
McMaster's yesterday. 1t will be remembered
Mrs. Mary Fairman, nee Barr, of McKeesport,
was pla ced in ST. Francis Hospital. as an in
sane patient. by her alleged husband. Thomas
Fairman. When he refused to pay tor her
boarding at the hospital the authorities there,
it is alleged, sent her to the home of Fairman's
mother on North avenue. Allegheny. John
Fairman, a brother, refused to receive her and
had her removed to the homo OF E. Andrews,
on Third avenue, Pittsburg. where Fairman
and his wife had formerly lived. She escaped
from there and is now in Allegheny lookup.
Andrews then entered suit against Thomas
Fairman for putting the lady in his house,
hence the call for the hearing yesterday
Chief Elliott and James B. Scott, OF the State
Board of Charities, were present. and to them
Thomas Fairnan said the woman had been
sent out of the hospital by the order of the
officials of that institution. He showed a let
ter; which he said came from the st. Francis
Hospital. The letter stated that Mrs. Fair
mans condition was improved. and that she
was released on an order from the Secretary OF
the State Board of Lunacy. There was only
one page of the letter and no signature. The
ending was so abrupt that Mr.. Scott asked
whether there was not another page of it, to
which Mr.. Fairman hesitatingly replied, There
was not"
MIR. Scott said he would investigate and if
the woman had been improperly released he
would bring charges against the hospital.

Members of the Finance Committee Think
They Should Have Been Consulted.
The Allegheny Finance Committee was called
together last night, but when the members ar
rived they were told that as the mandamus case
had already been taken to Supreme Court

Messrs McAfee, Cochrane and Lare and sew

and, although there was nothing to do, a meet
ing was held anyway, and the members talked

Mr.. Lare and several others thought the fact
THAT the recent case was taken TO Supreme
Court without consulting the committee
showed a want OF respect. MIR. Kennedy said
al tie points to be decided had been put in the
bill how before the Supreme Court, but he did
not know whether each would he decided. He
thought separate case would have to be made
out of each one and then taken up from the
lower court.
Sir. Lare spoke until requested to STOP and
Mr.. McAfee said he was not a lawyer and glad

bring all the questions before the Supreme
Court. At this stage The committee realized
they had nothing to do and adjourned.

Wright Unable to Reopen the Case of
John Phillips, of L. A. 800.
TALKS ABOUT Labor QUESTIONS
Crucible Steel Being Turned Out at Char
leroi's New Plant.
COAL OPERATORS ARE STILL FIRM

A. W. Wright, of Toronto, Canada, and a
member of the General Executive Board of
the knights of Labor, arrived in the city
yesterday for the purpose of reopening the
John Phillips case, which has now become
famous in labor circles. .
Owing to the inability of some of the most
important witnesses in the case to be pres
ent the hearing was postponed Until Wednes-
day, January 2S when Mr.. Wright will
return. He will settle the Ihmsen case to-
day and then go to Philadelphia, where his
time for the next ten days will be fully en-
gagged. Speaking of the present condition
and future outlook of his organization, Mr..
Wright said last evening:
''The Knights of Labor are rapidly be-
coming stronger than they ever were. They
are recovering their lost membership. and
the growth for the next year will be some
thing wonderful: The greatest trouble we
have wNh organized workmen now is the
fear they have OF being displaced by labor
saving machinery. Not very long ago a
man down in Philadelphia invented ma
chine for making barrels. He claimed for
it q capacity of barrel minute, and
wanted the organization to take control of it
to keep 1t out of the hands of capitalists.
Afraid of Being Deprived of Work.
"We talked to the coopers, and asked
what they thought about it. They simply
laughed at US. and refused to have anything
to do with it, on the grounds that it would
throw the coopers out of work.
They seemed to forget" continued Mr..
Wright. that the demand for barrels increases
year by year, and that it would be better for
them if they could have their hours of labor
reduced from II to without reducing their
pay"
Mr.. Wright is somewhat of humorist, and
told 4 story bearing on the same subject, about
a workman he had met one morning In New
York just after large fire. The workman re-
lated the story of the IRE which had destroyed
three large and valuable business blocks.
"It's a great pity" said Mr.. Wright. 'for SO
much property TO be destroyed"
mo, it isn't" replied the workman. mDon't {
You see, the rebuilding of those blocks will give
big lot of workmen employmentT'

to the lowest possible point, but this IS a bad
