almost TO BE- malicious. In view Of all
these complaints Clarke county - not

place the responsibility Of these nsiscar-
riages. Some one Is certainly to blame. No
one has interfered with DR.. Blalock in
No one e.se can explain the affair. All the

WASHINGTON CRY. June @.-Attorney
General Olney has decided that the APP
preparations made by the act Of congress
approved August s. 1892. in Aid Of the
Worlds fair, including the appropriation
for the government exhibit, are as svaila-
BILE now as before the decision of the cir
cult court Of appeals permanently opening
the Worlds fair on Sunday. with the sin
gle exception that no more money ought
to be paid to the Illinois corporation
known a. the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton. the grounds for his opinion are:
Congress meant for the exposition - . whole
TO b closed on sunday. II did not. however.
under take to pass . law 70 that effect, but con.
tented isself with making certain appropriations
conditional. not upon the fact OF sunday closing.
but upon the Illinois corporation agreeing to
the proposition Of sunday closing, 10 that rexu-
lafions 20 that effect might be made by the
Columbian commission. The Illinois corpora
tioa did agree to the proposition. proper rules
were made by the Columbian commission, and
tho condition upon which the appropriations
referred to were made must be regarded - fully
Ka,isaed. Tho rights Of the United States and
ths liabilities OF the lilinois corporation conse-
Quent upon the isttes's violation of its sgree-
men: are matters for future consideration ana
settlement. but such violation, except a. IL
shonid prevent the payment of any more money
O. the Illinois corporation. not be allowed
20 render the appropriations referred to unavail.
Ing. for the most cogent reasons. II would re-
suit In great waste. because. while only one.
elapsed. tho government has already
erected a building At cost OF $4,000
All expended other large Gums In
gathering and INSTALLING exhibits. dcfrgyias the
expenses o. the commissioners ana lady man.
sgers aad ia the compensation OF tho necessary
agents ana employee. Further. IL would almos,
amount 90 bad faith ~ regards foreign nations
and foreign exhibitors. because no; merely the
awards Of medals aud diplomas. bat their pre-
fa.atlon and distribution. hsve been assumed
by and belong exclusively 20 tie United states
acting through the Columbian commission.
Resrlts o. this sort caanei possibly have been
