ANSWERS THE KICKERS.

AS some fault finding has been in
dulged in of late regarding the con-
duct of affairs at the Minnesota
State building and few other mat
tiers connected with the State exhibit,
the Minneapolis Journal interviewed
Commissioner Furlong upon the mat
ter, as follows:
Hon. J. j. Furlong, of Austin,
treasurer of the Minnesota worlds
fair commission, was in the city yes
terday afternoon on his way home
from Chicago. He returns this eve
ming in order to be present. at meet
ing of the commissioners that will be
held on the grounds tomorrow. Mr..
FurlOng had in his inside pocket yes
terday copy of the Albert Lea
| Standard, which contained series Of
articles attacking the commission and
stating generally that the Minnesota
exhibit is the poorest Of any North
| western state, and that the attend
ants in the building are Surly and un-
| accommodating The paper con-
| tainS an editorial paragraph to the
| effect that the commission has on
hand $4,000, which is farmeG out
among number of pet banks when it
should have been laid out in making
| the exhibit first-class.
| Mr. FurlOng said that as far as he
knew, the employees on the Minnesota
| building were prompt and courteous,
and were pleasing the public.
| ST this is not the caSe," he added,
''none of the commissioners have been
able to find it out. The Albert Lea
article is the first intimatiOn to me

in every way. The editor of that
paper should have correspondent with
members of the commission and made
his complaints to headquarters. 1t
is not our intention to foster any
cranks at the Minnesota building,
and if any are there we will get rid of
them in short order. AS to the money
in banks | want to say that the sum
is about $4,000, and that it is divided
between six as good banks as there
are in the state. We are spending it
as rapidly as it is needed and can draw

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 1.-THE house

consideration of the Arizona statehood
bill. The Democratic leaders decided this
morning TO proceed with consideration of

pose of them before the holidays. The
Republicans do not relish the idea of bring
ing these Democratic territories into the

refrained from voting. except those from

Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the Da-

under the act of 1880 was not affected, was
taken up, and there was some debate by
Hermann of Oregon and Van Voorhis Of
New York. The latter intimated that
some private interest must exist in the
bill. and that it sought to deprive one
class of claimants for the benefit of an
other. He declared it would be another
Des Moines river case. Hermann stated
that the old claimants had had forty years
10 confirm titles. The bill was not de-
signed TO dispossess any claimants. The
bill simp y required the original claimants
or their heirs TO come forward and protect
titles or surrender them TO the present oc-
cupants. The bill was passed.
