course should not be taken. and especially
when an immediate hearing Of appeal

State executive commissioners TO the
Worlds Fair have signed a circular 10
he people Of the United States urging |
hem 10 visit the Fair, which is 0e-
icribed as complete. The stories Of ex-
ortion of charges are declared unfound-
d. The text Of this circular has been
evised and reversed during the last
week until II met with the approval of
III the commissioners. Yesterday the |
rinted copies were issued. Each of the
xecutive commissioners will receive a
efficient number to be enabled to distri-
ute them to all newspapers in their re-
pective States and Territories. The |
'ress Will DC asked to give the widest
publicity TO this statement. Its impol-
ance is derived from the fact that 1t |
ioes not emanate from either Of the |
,odies that are managing the Fair, the
Ocal directory or the national commits
ion. 1t is the testimony of the commits
toner's. each of whom is responsible |
irectly to the beard in his own State.

ence in this unbiased statement Of the
resent status of the Worlds Fair, as
