SULTAN CITY. May 16.-lSpecial There was
an exciting race yesterday between the steamers
Monte Cristo and Florence Henry. bound from
Snohomish to Sultan City. The Florence Henry
lett Snohomish at least one hour before her op-
ponent and led in the race until they reached
the Eiweli rhine, about three miles below Sultan
city, when the Monte Cristo overhauied her op-
ponent and in attempting to pass the qunwale
OF the Florence Henry was locked to the gun
vale OF the Monte Cristo, and in this manner
the two boats contested for the race. After
about twenty minutes run in this manner the
boats were separated and the Monte Cristo
easily pulled away from her opponent great
many passengers were aboard each boat, and
great deal OF excitement prevailed. The Monte
Crisso is undoubtedly the best craft of her class
that plies the waters Of the Sound or its tribu.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 17.-Director- General
Davis, of the Worlds fair commission, appeared
before the House COMMITTEES on the Worlds
Fair. to urge the appropriation asked for. The
director general having finished his address,
McCreary of Kentucky asked if the scope and
plan OF the exposition was not nearly double
that OF any exposition ever held, and also IL
Davis and his associates were satisfied with tho
outlook that 1t would be the grandest exposi-
ton ever held. The director general replied
in the affirmative, saying that al
the nations in the world were
striving for moro space than could be
allotted them Never before had the artists and
manufacturers OF the old world had a neutral
place in which to make an exhibit McCreary
further asked what effect the closing OF the
gates on Sundays would have upon the eTposi-
ton. Davis said it would decrease the receipts:
that fully $1,000 people would visit the park on
Sunday evening If there were an attraction
there. Wheeler of Alabama suggested that the
most eminent clergymen be secured to speak on
the exposition grounds Sundays and that sacred
music be played. Davis said there had never
been any proposition made that the machinery
should run on Sunday, and to that he is person
ally opposed. BY stopping the machinery prob
ably two-thirds OF the employees could be
spared on Sundays. All that was pro-
posed to have open was the grounds
and art galleries. Walker of Chicago
told the committee that an amendment had been
framed to the act by which the local corporation
obligated itself to meet and defray all the ex-
penses from now until the close OF the exposi-
ton and that the committee would be furnished
with certified copy of the agreement signed
BY such men AZ Marshall Field and Mr., Armour:
that ii congress granted the aid asked they
would hold themselves responsible for any
further moneys needed and would not again ask
aid from any source. Davis called attention to
the fact that all work on the exposition was be-
ing done on tho eighthour plan and six days In
week. The committee then adjourned subject
