London Industries says: sit has
been decided to hold an interna-
tional exhibition in Hobart during
the summer of 1S94-95, and the
government of Tasmania has grant
ed its official patronage to the I'M
dertaking. The proposal has been
taken up by the people OF tasmania
and the adjacent colonies with such
general approval that the necessary
capital has been readily subscribed.
The objects of the exhibition are t:
To promote and foster industry,
science and art, by melting the
inventive genius of the pee lie
to further improvement in
arts and manufactures, as well
as to stimulate commercial
enterprise by inviting all nations
to exhibit their products both in
the raw and finished state. Sam
pies of the products for which this
and the other Australasian colonies
have become famous will be ex-
hibited, with view to increase the
development of their natural re-
sources. Similar and more varied
exhibits are expected from Great
Britain, the Continent, America,
India, Canada, the Cape and other
colonies, to which the government
of Tasmania has forwarded an OIL
cial invitation to grant substantial
support to the undertaking. The
site which has been granted by the
government for the exhibition
building covers about eleven
acres"

Gated, will you allow me 10 make q

the election began TO be in doubt, |
asked several leading papers this ques-
ton: "ln Q contested congress- II a.

certificate OF election, or should you
await final decision by The house Of

imously that bets could not be
paid until congress made ITS decision.
The same opinion wGs expressed by the
local press. IL the declsion OF news
papers fails to satisfy any ore, the state
ment, Congress IL the sole Judge of the

sufficient. The opinion Of Lawyer
