;dcirg among the friends and promoters OF
tho Worl,s Fair Mt tho announcement that the
subcommittee on Appropriations, which Con-
gross authorized to 20 to Chicago and invcsti-
cate the condition Of affairs will submit IA
yornbo report. II appears that the Windy

choir arri, al there, and presented them with
statement which estimates that tho total re-
cepts Il tho Fair will aggregate about $780,

c,pcctci that they will DO ready to make their
ropor, to tho full committee within a few
DAYS. It is said that the subcommittee was
fayorahly impressed by tho showing made by
thsmanagcrs ottho Fair. but thorc is room for
criticism in several particulars For inst nee.
the sub-romn ittce was not Mt oil pleased with
the management Of tho Bureau Of Publicity
and Promotion. They will probably report

sition to pass tho S5.OOO.OO0 loan. which. 1t Ia

not forgiven Chicago for stealing tho Demo-
cratic National Convention. declare that they
will rrOlong tho session to an indefinite period
rather than help the passage of the proposed

pccteI TO arrive here within the next two or
three days 10 try and lobby tho bill through
Congress There is a very decided opposition
IN certain directions. and it remains to be
seen whether tho friends OF tho measure are
strong enough to overcome it. Tho indica-
tons are that it will DO the greatest struggle
of,he session. and both sides are preparing
for u long and desperate engagement
