Testing some importance about the pay
ment OF cash prizes offered by the expo
sition. The show was concluded some
time ago, and as yet not one Of the sue
cessful exhibitors has received any OF
the cash set aside by the Fair for the
payment OF prizes offered. Alarge num-
ber have become greatly exercised over
the delay and some assert that no funds
have been set aside for the payment OF
these premiums. In speaking OF the
matter to-day Director General Davis
said: This feeling Of mistrust on the
part OF the exhibitors Is I'll founded.
The Exposition has set aside Sl5O,OOO
to be used 10 the payment OF cash prizes
awarded to successful competitors In
the horse and cattle show. Part OF the
vouchers for these prizes have been
sent in and the remainder are expected
this. week. When all have been re-
ceiyed and looked over the money will
be paid. The date OF payment has not
vet been fixed, bat II certainly will not

There is always more or less friction
in the National Commission when an
action Of the lady managers Is to be
considered. The Commission took Of
fense It the action OF the Board OF
Lady Managers in attempting to secure
the adoption OF the Dubarrow resolu-
tion providing for the distribution OF
fac smile diplomas and medals 20 work
men At the fair. Commissioner Brom-
berg. of Alabama, to-day offered q pa
uer which he said was the text
OF bill that would be brought
before Congress in day or two
and asked that II be printed in the
minutes. This Mr.. Bromberg explained
wasa modification OF the Duourrow
bill, which the lady mGnAgerf had sue
cesded In having offered iE Congress
some time ago and which the exhibitors
antagonized. Com missioner Mcdonald,
OF CalifornlS, opposed the proposition.
| He thought q subcommittee which bad
conferred with the lady managers was
being discredited. Then Commissioner
Adams, Of Florida, who was one OF that
/ subcommittee, made an Indifferent
| objection 70 having the latter printed.
This dIsgusted hr. Bromberg, who II
known a. a chlyalrlc gentleman, and ne
/ sat down saying: II am surprised
that gentleman from Florida should
! be so discourte)us 70 the ladies'. thlnR
this CON mission is acting foollshly on
all these questions. This Board OF Lady
Managers has more power al Washing
ton than this commission has.
Com missioner 81. Clair. OF West Vir'
ginis, said the committee on Legislation
was watching the lady managers trying
10 get the diploma bill through -
Washington. They we're opposed 10 is
