WASHINGTON, ID. c., February Ca
the following message:
II transmit herewith for the infor-
nation OF Congress tho annual report
Of the Worlds Fair Commission, q sup
Elementary report OF the same commits
sion submitted February 10, is92, the
report OF the Board appointed by me
under section IL of the act OF April -.
1890, TO have charge OF the exhibits TO
be made by the Executive Departments,
the Smithsonian Institute, the Fish
Commission, and the National Museum,
and the report OF the Board OF Lady
Managers provided for by section 10 OF
the act referred TO.
"The information furnished by these
reports as TO the progress OF the work Is
not only satisfactory but highly grati-
Tying. The plan and scope adopted and
the site and buildings selected and now
being erected are fully commensurate
with the national or international char
acter OF the enterprise contemplated by
the legislation OF Congress. The Him
ois corporation has fully complied with
the condition OF the law that ten mil
lions OF dollars should be provided and
the government commission reports that
the grounds and buildings will be the
most extensive, adequate and ornate
ever devoted TO such purposes
at seems, however. that five 10 eight
millions OF dollars moro will, In the
opinion OF the local Board and National
Commission, be necessary to prepare
the Exposition for n complete aud sue
cessful Inauguration. II will be- noticed
from the reports that 10 was first pro-
posed by the local Commission TO ask Of
Congress loan Of S., O0O 600, to be re-
paid from receipts, aud that the Ma
tional Commission approved the sug-
gestions. Subsequently the Illinois EK-
position corporation reconsidered this
action, and determined to ask SUBJ
scriptIoc Of s5,000,000.
"The committee OF Congress. having
this matter in charge, will undoubtedly
obtain fuller accurate information be-
fore final action. The Exposition, not
withstandlng the limitations which the
act contains, n an enterprise TO which
the United States II so far committed
that Congress ought not, think, 10
withhold Just and reasonable further
support, II the local corporation coo-
sents 10 proper conditions. LiberalIty
on the part OF the United States Is due
To foreign nations that have responded
In friendly way to the invitation OF
this Government 10 participate In the
Exposition and will. am sure, meet the
approval OF our people.
"The Exposition will be one OF the
most illustrions incidents In our civic
history. transmit also certain reso-
lutlons adopted by representatives OF
the National Guard OF the various
States appointed by the Governors TO
attend a convention which was held In
Chicago on the 27th OF October, 1891,
with view 20 consider the subject OF
holding military eDcampment at Chi.
cago during the Exposition.
NJ. Constans will serve as Minister Of
Public Worship, In addition 10 holding
his old Office OF Minister Of the Interior.
In the former Cabinet the Ministry
OF Justice and the Public Worship was
held by M. FallIers, but as will be seen
above this Ministry will be divided.
M. De Freycinet, IL Is said, will re-
main a. Minister OF War; NJ. Rouyier as
Minister OF Finance; NJ. Rlbot, Minister
OF Foreign Affairs; NJ. Jules Roche.

geois, Minister OF Public Instruction In
the last Cabinet, Is significant as show
ing that the Prime Minister does not
intend TO count upon the support OF the
Radicals.
