WORLDS FAIR LOAN.
THE DIRECTORS WILL NOT OWE
 MORTGAGE.
Probability that the Loan Wnl Bs Granted-witnesses Deny Rsun's Testimony-Charges Against Captain Bourke-General Capital News

WASHINGTON, April Is.-That propo- sition for a government loan to the Columbian exposition, made by Presi- dent Baker and Directors Winston ana Odell to the Durborow's worlds fair committee of the House, is not accept able to the local directory. President Barker and the others who went to Washington were sent in the interest of the bill asking the government to make an appropriation and become . partner in the worlds fair en- terprise. They were authorized to work for the passage of such bill and nothing more. The propo- sition they now make to Congress to loan S5,000, ,0oo to the exposition and take a mortgage on the gate receipts is entirely their own and is not author ized by the directory. In fact, 1t ab- solutely violates a resolution passed some months ago in which the direc- tory decided not to ask for loan from Congress. The local board will accept nothing from Congress but an appro- priation that will make the govern ment a partner in the Columbian en- terprise.
 Committee hearings in regard to the matter are practically closed. MT. Durborow's committee has got about all the information it needs in regard to the bill now before it. There is lit- tie doubt that the committee will re- port the measure for government aid to the extent of about S5, GOO, 900 favor ably. It is barely possible that . small minority of the committee may be against the bill, but every effort will be made to secure . unanimous

ARE NOT PLEASED NOW.
CleveIand's Friends Fearful He Is Losing
 Ground.


 WASHINGTON, April I9.-Cleveland's s friends here are very are nervous over the political situation. Close observers, like German and Brice, do not think that he is at all certain of the nomina- ton at Chicago. It is remarked that since the Rhode Island election a great many delegates have been elected in Clevelands strongholds without posi- tive instructions for the ex-President. The failure of the Nebraska delegation on. In spite of the talk to the contrary the understanding is that Gov. Boyd prefers some body else to Cleveland, and at the proper time will swing the delegation that way. Brice is holding off the choice of delegates in Ohio till the last moment. The politicians who have noted all these things say that when the Chicago convention meets and the deadly nature of the struggle between the Cleveland and the Hill factions in New York State is fully understood, the demand for a compromise candi- date will be too strong to be resisted. The growth of this sent iment is caus- ing the Cleveland managers much un- easiness. They have no fear for Hill, but they dread the convention taking a notion to nominate Flower of New York, Gray of Indiana, or some other Western man.
