Of the city limits, some in conformity with the
plan of the city and some not. There seemed q
little Misunderstanding as to the plan of the

did not carry any bond provision.
The bill was taken up by sections. Mr.. Blount
objected to the tremendous scope Of the bill.
1t was true the bill left appropriations to fu-
ture Congresses, but it gave notice that the
intention was to lay out the entire

the benefciaries. He opposed the payment of
any money out Of the national treasury for such
purposes outside Of the city.

to make the appropriations. II these

HOT SHOT FOR SALISBURY.
A Storm of Protest Follows the Premier's
Pr0tectiOnist Speech.

Storm of Protest Follows the Premiers
PrOtectiOnist Speech.
The sensation of the week in London
has been Lord Salisbury's protection
speech, which has provoked the greatest
CONSERVATION among his own followers
and organs. That Lord Salisbury should
have journeyed to Hastings, to watering
place audience, to deliver such an impor-
tant manifesto is a subject of wonder on
all sides. His speech, though very
guarded, and so qualified by reservations
that it really commits him to nothing,
has produced a decidedly unfortunate
effect The leading conservative organ
bluntly declares that he has done no
good either to himself or to his party by
his references to free trade, while the
chief UnioniSt organ in the Provinces,
the Birmingham Post, plainly says that
If such news is translated into deeds,
the Unionist alliance is ended. While
the Times. STANDARD, and Chronicle all
throw cold water on his plan in unmis
taxable language, the Post says that Lord
Salisbury advocates the common-SenSe
view that retaliation is becoming a ne
cessity in the case of imported luxuries.
The speech has caused the greatest eX-
citement among the Liberal newspapers,
which harp at length on the Premier'S
indiscretions. In Manchester, Liver
pool, Birmingham, Glasgow, and other
business centers the Premier is severely
denounced. The Manchester Guardian
declares that if Lord Salisbury can have
Iis way the free trade battle must lie
-efought on one or two vital points, and
concludes: Lord Salisbury hims, If ad-
mits that we can not touch America,
which is the worst offender, because we
Get food and raw materials from there.
The whole Of this kind of talking reduces
itself 10 a trumpery proposal to tax
French silks and wines and embark IN an
endless industrial war, which would
only injure our trade with France with
out compelling the French to accept our
terms.

that the Russian police, acting on a
warning from the police of Paris. have
discovered a number of mines under the
Gatchina Palace, the mines extending
for a distance of several kiIometers
around the palace. The Russian govern

discovery. Gatchowsky, the quack, who
administered "vitaline, an alleged mir
aculous medicine, to General Gresser,
chief of police, from which he died, has
been arrested. The populace of st.

the recent explosions at the Nicolai

GREATEST OF ALL Exros1r1oSs,

The House Committee Makes Report ON
the ChIcag go Fair.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The sub-com.
mttee Of the House committee On.appro
priations, which investigated the expen-
ditures of the Worlds Fair. through
Chairman Dockery, have submitted their
report to the House. The report cOmpli-
mentS the managers of the fair on their
work, styling it "a worthy tribute to the
genius and enterprise of the wonderful
city OF the Northwest. The estimated
income of the fair by II. H. Higgin-
bothom, financial agent, given to the
committee, was $50. OPS, ,3S5: expendi-
lures, $22 ,416, 113. The committee make
the following estimates: Receipts, S29,-
215, 1872; expenditures, $19,319,OSS. Up
to May |, 1898, the committee estimate
the receipts at $40, 7G3, 1870; expenditures,
$15, 5SG,0 ,01O.
Charges of favOritism i'm letting of con-
tracts were made, but not established.
The committee say, in concluding the
report, that they express without reserve
their confidence in the assured success
of the exposition. In every essential
feature it stands urivaled in all time.
Fifty-siX nations and colonies have ac-
cepted the invitation to participate and
have appropriated 50, 800 for that
purpose. 1t is expected that twenty
other foreign countries will also be rep
resented. Complete exhibits will also be
made by all the countries which promise
attendance, twenty-six of which will
erect special buildings for their own dis
plays.
Thirty States and Territories in our
own Republic will erect buildings and
make special exhibits, for which So, ,1S2,-
500 has already been provided. 1t becomes
obvious, therefore, that the expenditures
of the local corporation. of individual
enterprise of the States and Territories,
and of our own and of foreign govern
ments will reach the stupendous aggre-
gate of lot less than $50, 0,00O,0 900 for ex-
position purposes. s<ss&
In its scope and magnIficenCe this eX-
position stands alone and there is nothing
like it in all history. 1t easily surpasseS
all kindred enterprises and will amply
illustrate the marvellous genius of the
American people in the great domains of
agriculture, commerce, manufactures
and invention, which constitute the
foundation upon which rests the struc-
ture of our national glory and prosperity.

Russia StIII Needa Aid

The chairman of the Russian famine
relief committee has ascertained that
despatch of recent date, purporting to
have come from the official B0urSe Ga
zette, of st. Petersburg, and hence
widely copied, to the effect that the
needs of the famine sufferers have al
ready been duly provided for was wholly
without warrant. He is assured not
only that there is no such journal, but
that the distress in the famine districts
continues, with urgent demand for help
even yet, on the part of not less than
5000, 900 of starving peasants. Besides
food large sums of money will be
needed to replace the thousands of work
animals that have perished.
