CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-One million dol
lars. cold money, will be given by Mar
shah Field to the museum which is to be
the outcome of the worlds fair. Mr..
Field names conditions which will be
easily complied with. They are simply
that S500,000 more be subscribed and
that the stockholders of the Worlds
Columbian exposition Subscribe to the
fund S2,000,000 of their holdings, which
represent an investment of 100000.
but are worth much less. The biggest
stockholders never expected to realize
anything on their Investment, and they
have already expressed a Willingness to
turn over all the stock they have. The
trustees of the museum have no doubt
that majority Of S5,000,000 of
worlds fair stock will be turned over to
them. AS for the 100000 to be raised
before Mr.. Fields munifcent Offering
is secured, 100000 of it has been I'M
conditionally subscribed by George Nj.
Pullman. The balance, it is said, will
be raised in few days. 1t is claimed
that the museum will be the greatest in
the world. Some of the most valuable
and rareSt exhibits that have been at
the fair have been donated or purchased
for 1t. One exhibit in the forestry
building alone Is worth $780, and the
whole of the forestry exhibit will be
part of the museum. The trustees will
meet tomorrow and elect officers and, if
Mr.. Field consents, the museum will be
named after him.
The fine arts building at the fair will
undoubtedly be the property of the mu-
scum. 1t will be preserved Just as it
stands now, and many of the art treas
ures now in it will remain.
The exhibits fol the museum have
been systt matically secured by the
chiefs of the various departments of the
Columbian exposition, and James w.
Ellsworth, John c. Black. Edward
Aver are the members of the hustling
finance committee who secured an
equivalent to something like 100000
III less than three weeks.
The national commission spent this
afternoon in discussing resolution
offered by Mr.. Ryan, of North Dakota,
providing for a rejudging of farm ma
chinery. 1t is urged by those anxious
for rejudging of the exhibits that it
was not decided until late hour to re-
quire field trials by American exhibit
ors. This. it is claimed, was i'll the
majority of cases impracticable, as the
most of the machines had not been con-
Structed with view of making actual
tests, but displaying to advantage the
style and workings of the gearings.
Nothing was definitely decided.
The following commissioners were
named as official historians of the fair:
President Palmer, st. Clair, of West
Virginia; Tousiey, of Minnesota; A. p.
Butler. of South Carolina; Massey, of
Delaware; Thacher. of New York;
LanR0n, of Utah, and Martin, of Ne
braSka.
