THE German American who goes to
the worlds fair will have cause for
congratulation at the way in which
the fatherland is represented there.
Not only he, but everybody who goes
to see and learn, will be struck at the
superb presentation of German art,
industry and resources.
Germany leads every foreign country
in the extent, thoroughness and value
Of her display. In many respects the
German exhibit is the most striking
exhibit of the fair, The entrance to
the German manufactures exhibit is
marked by three Wrought-iron gates
made at Frankfort-on-the-M Main, and
these gates are probably the best ex
amples of such work ever placed before
the public. The middle gate is 40 feet
high and % feet wide, and the two
side gates ale each 80 feet high and Is
feet wide. The ironscomposing them
was hammered out by hand from crude
bars, and $50 skilled artisans worked
on them for six months. 1t is ex-
pected that these unique gates will re-
main here permanently as a part of
Germany's contribution, and they will
be valuable object lessons in artistic
handicraft.
At the centennial exposition Ger
many was creditably represented, hav-
ing in all 70G exhibitors, and using
something more than 900 square feet
Of space. AT Chicago Germany has
6,l34 exhibitors and the total of space
used by her in all departments ag-
gregates 100000 square feet. The
total contributions Of the German
states and of the empire fall little
under 81, 10000, which is very large
compared with England's $500, 900 and
the $740, 900 Of France. Inclusive of
cost of transportation, the value of the
German exhibits to the fair will ex-
ceed SIS, ,OoO, 900.
Much of all this great showing is the
result of the personal influence of EN-
peror William. He was an early and
staunch friend of the fair, and his en-
thusiasm has been contagious.

AMERICAN genius usually comes o
the front when occasion demands, but
in the matter of inyenting a superior
rife with which to equip the United
States army, it appears to have failed.
In 1891 board of army officers was
appointed by the war department to
examine models Of magazine rifles and
report as to which one seemed best
suited to the needs of the United
States army. Many types of magazine
guns, foreign and domestic, were
placed in competition, but the board,
after two years. work, reported in
favor Of the Krag-Jorgensen gun a
Danish invention. American competi-
tors were dissatisfied with this decision
and last winter secured the passage by
congress of an act which substantially
gave them another chauce providing
for new board, appointed by the
secretary of war to further test the value
Of various magazine guns. This COM
mission convened in Hartford recently
and, after giving all comers a fair
opportunity to demonstrate the value
of their inventions, reported in favor
of the Krag-Jorgensen gun, the
national boards views, and only the
approval of the secretary of war is now
necessary to place, at the disposal Of
the ordnance board the 100000 ap-
propriated By congress with which to
supply the army with the new guns.
The guns will be manufactured in this
country, the royalty going to the for
eign inventors. The American gun
makers are beaten this time. but they
may some day astonish Europe when
they fairly get at work.

NO EXAMINATIONS.

The Civii-Service Commission Cannot Con-
duct Them for Lack of Funds.
WASHINGTON. March 14.-The Civil-ser-
vice Commission to-day took the necessary
action to cancel all examinations scheduled
TO be held between March 81, 1893. and June
80. 1893. in the States of Missouri. Illinois,
Ohio. Indiana. New York. Wisconsin, Iowa,
Nebraska. New Jersey. Connecticut. Della
ware, idaho and Wyoming: also the exami-
nations scheduled for Pittsburg. Pa. Gar
den City, Kan.. Grand junction. Col. and
Salt Lake City. Utah. In explanation Of
this action Commissioner Roosevelt to-day
said that the cancellation of these dates
were made necessary by the failure of Con-
gress at its last session to appropriate suf-
ficient money TO pay the travelling expenses
of the examiners. When the schedules
were prepared the commission had barely
enough funds available to do its work.
Subsequently. by order of the President.
ali free-delivery postoffices were included
within the classified service. This addi-
tional work neoessitated q considerable ex-
peDditure. and when q deficiency became
apparent the commission asked gress
for g 200 to cover the time until next years
Rppro priation became available, explain
ing that the work of the commission could
not be continued without il. The deficiency
appropriation was not made.
