THE WORLDS FAIR.
CHICAGO, June 12.--At a meeting
of the board of control of the Ma
tiunal Worlds fair commission to-
day. A preamble and resolutions
were adopted setting forth that the
board has learned that efforts are
being made by individuals and by
corporations manifestly organized
for the purpose to obtain authori-
tative recognition so as to consti-
tute such person a quasi-otlicia
agent for advertisement of the eX
position to foreign countries. Such
efforts are clearly inspired by ex-
pected gain, have not for the prima-
ry and principal object the promot-
ion and success of the exposition.
The board therefore declares that no
person shall be permitted to exer-
else such functions without appro-
val of either the national commits
sion, board of control, or director
general, through this department of
foreign affairs.
HAYTIAN AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON; June II. The state
and navy departments are becoming
impatient at the delay in receiving
full and accurate reports of the con-
dition of affairs in Hayti. Yester-
day the state department received a
letter from Minister Douglass, sup
Elemental to his dispatch of the 2Sth
of May. There are few details
given. The minister merely reiter-
ates what he stated in his cablegram,
namely, that the insurrection did
not amount to much; that it was
little more than street robbery by
which one or two lives were lost. |
Notwithstanding Mr.. Douglass tenn
perate report, the officials of the
state and navy departments are
trouble. The question
If closing the United States legation
N Port au Prince is being seriously
by the government.
MINISTER TO CHINA.
WASHINGTON, June l2.-It was
reported yesterday that President
Harrison has decided to send ex-
Governor and ex-senator Gilbert A.
Pierce, of North Dakota, ,as our repre-
sentative to China. Minister Pierce
is now an editorial writer on the
Minneapolis Tribune. He is a native
of indianapolis, and his personal
relations with President Harrison
were of so intimate a nature that
during his senatorship his utterances
in reference 70 administration mat
ters were usually accepted as
authoritative, The sending of Gov
ernor Pierce to China will, it is
thought, be followed by the appoint
ment of ex-senator Blair as minister
to Japan. The salary is $4,000 a
year, the same as that attached to
the Chinese mission, while the court
to which he will be acceded is a far
more desirable one from an Ameri-
can standpoint.
