FAIR BOOMERS
Should BE Getting in Their
Work on congressman,
A Large Percentage of Whom Are
Very Ignorant
Concerning the Work, Progress
and Needs
OF THE GREAT PROPOSED CoLuM-
BlAN EXPOSITION.

Majority of the Members Are in n
Friendly Mood, Know Some Work is
Being Done, and That They win 10
Asked to Vote for Another So, 900, 900
edge Stops-Surprised Mt Not Having
Received Any Exposition Literature.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.--If the gentle
men in charge of the booming depart
ment of the Columbian exposition intend
to start the much needed campaign Of
education among the members of con-
gress now is the time to begin. Tie
amount of ignorance prevailing on the
subject is surprising. Representatives
Durborrow and McGann are doing yeo-
man service in the cause, but they can
not see every member and remain with
him until they have turned his untitled
mind into luxuriant garden ripe with
knowledge of the exposition, its
progress, its workings, its needs.
The majority of the members are in
friendly mood but beyond knowing
that some work on the fair has been
done, and that they are to be asked for
$1,000 900 to complete the fair, they are
pretty nearly absolutely ignorant of the
situation.
No exposition literature has been re-
ceived by the members and there is
hardly an expression of great surprise.
They have not been so supplied.
Senator Pettigrew Talks.
Senator Pettigrew, chairman of the
Columbian exposition committee in the
senate, says that he has not heard
word from the worlds fair people since
the formation of the committee.
1--WE have done nothing" he added
1--WE have had nothing to do. There is
nothing before us except a lot of per
tions asking that the exposition be closed
on Sunday and that no liquor be sold
but we have no. hing else, and SO there
is no use of our / ct ing together"
"How do you lind the general feeling
in regard to the proposed $5,000,000 ap-
propriationY
II don't find any, the senator replied.
81 haven't made any inquiries, because |
have not been told by the exposition
people what they want. Neither have |
received any printed matter from them
by which | might post myself ON the
subject. When they tell us what they
want and get things moving in a busl-
ness way will know more of the condi-
ton of affairs"

Cause of the Attack.
AT that interview Captain Schley says
Judge Foster expressly stated to him
that the cause Of the attack was the
hatred that the lower class of Chihans
had for americans because of the belief
that the Americans had been on the size
of Balmaceda. This expression by Judge
Foster is regarded by naval officers as
highly significant, in view of his subee

PRESIDENT ELIOT.
He Visits St. Paups School and
Pasadena,

President Eliot visited st. Paul's
school yesterday morning, accompanied
by MIR. M. S. Severance, who is trustee
Of that institution. The president
made short address to the boys, signi-
flying his approval of private schools,
in that they brought out spirit of ri
valry with public schools which was OF
mutual benefit.
He urged upon the boys the necessity
for constant application as means of
success, saying that while he did not
quite agree with the authority who de-
fined genius as power of constant ap-
plication, yet such application was of
paramount Importance in school work.
Mr.. Severance and Mr.. r. H. Gushie,
one of the masters of St. Pauls school,
are Harvard men, and President Eliot
evinced special interest in the school,
as it is preparatory to Harvard college
and its students are recommended to 60
there.
During the presidents visit to the
school party of ladies and gentlemen
waited without in a handsome brake.
Among them were MIR. Eliot, Mrs. M. S.
Severance, Mrs. H. 7. Lee and Major
Lee. The party were driven to Pasa.
dena where they spent the day.
