TO CHANGE THE DATE.
Want the Worlds Fair to Open
October Fl.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.--Hon. John
Boyd Thacher and Hon. G. w. Allen,
Worlds Fair commissioners from tho
State of New York, are at tho Airing
ton. They are brimful of enthusiasm
and confident that tho Columbian Ex-
position is going to meet in the fullest
degree the expectations of the Ameri-
can people. Their present mission nero
is one of some Importance. They want
Congress to change tho date of tho
opening exercises at Chicago from Octo-
Der ~ oil this year to October 2l, con-
corning which Mr.. Thatcher said:
There was meeting Tuesday night
at Albany OF our State board of mana
gers and judicial dis trict com missioners,
which joint conference passed rcsulu-
ton calling on the New York Delcga-
ton in Congress to support an amend
ment to the Worlds Fair acs SO as to
change tho dato of the dedication cere-
monies from the 18th to the 2lst of Oc-
tober for the following reasons: In the
first place, October 18th is the date of
the discovery of America by tho old
style of reckoning time. Tho Julian
calendar. which, in 1882 gave way to the
Gregorian system, corrected all dates of
the civil calendar prior to that time.
The true date of the discovery of the
country, therefore, is October 2lst,
which fortunately falls on Friday, the
exact day of the week that Columbus
planted the banner of Spain on these
shores
Moreover the legislature of New
York fixed on October IL as tho time for
the celebration proposed to be held in
New York city, and as that body will
not meet in this interval, no change of
programme can be made. Now u con-
fict of exercises would be extremely
unfortunate. If New York and Chicago
are engaged in Simultaneous celebra-
tlons IL will be very confusing, parti-
cularly to our European friends, who
mainly read the New York papers, and
seeing great space given up to the New
York end OF tho Expo itlon, will ma
turally Conclude that after all the Fair
is bu: local enterprise. We will have
hearing before the Worlds Fair spe-
cial committee on Friday, and hope to
convince Chairman Durborrow and his
colleagues that every consideration of
expediency and propriety requires the
change of date 1 have outlined
"A our Albany meeting the following
important resolutions were also passed:
"'Whereas tho President of the
United States, pursuant to an act of Con-
gress, has invited the nations of the
earth to particil ate in tho celebration
of the 40Oth anniversary of the Column
bian discovery, and
"'Whereas this act has pledged tho
national honor to the success of the eX-
hibition; therefore,
Resolved, That our representatives
in Congress from tho State of New York
arc hereby urged to favor an appropria-
ton of S5,00o,000 in aid of the great
National and International Exhibition
a. Chicago"

That the public building will not be

with tho right OF an alley behind il.
leading out TO Henry street. The pnb-
lie building. il built on thu proposed
site. will shut off The alley. which the

An AInInble Suit.

The suit of Henry Fairfax against
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company for $50, 900, is an amiable one.
1t arises cut Of the silica ton of
the material excavated by Mr.. Fairfax
from the Elkhorn tunnel, which was
about 2,700 feet in length. In driving
the tunnel tho m aterial struck was coal,
which the engineer in charge classified
as hard pan. This classification, Mr..
Fairfax claims, was incorrect and that
the material should be classified as
solid rock.
