AGAINST The FAIR.
The Charge Freely Made Against Certain
New York Firms.

-
New York Firms.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-The Tribune Sat
urday morning declares that there is
conspiracy in New York to injure the
Worlds fair Recent developments in
dictate that some of the strongest corpo-
rations and heaviest importers of that
city, backed by two or three newspa-
pers, have formed a combination for
the sole purpose of doing every thing in
their power to worry the exposition
officials and hurt the enterprise itself.
Within the past week large blocks of
choice space allotted to New York ex-
hibitors have been released by them I'M
der the most hiinsy excuses.
One electrical firm which had been
given the choicest location in the cleo
tricity building wrote a curt letter de-
claring it could not get its exhibit
ready. AS its allotment was the first
given out the exposition officials de-
nounce the action as unbusiness like.
The New York piano manufacturing
companies have all withdrawn, on the
plea that awards would not be given as
they wanted them. The officials, in
order to stop any more such delay and
annoyances, have notified all exhibitors
that unless exhibits are placed on
the allotted space at once, it will be
given to other applicants. Director
General Davis says that if all New York
exhibitors should withdraw it would
not injure the fair.

THE UNITED STATES FLAG
To Be Run Up on vessels Now Bearins
Hawaiian Nolors -.

Hawaiian Ioiors Es
SAN Francesca. Feb l9-An import.
ant offshot of the annexation OF the
Hawaiian islands by the United States
is the large number of vessels which
may then be available for the American
coasting trade.
There are known to be some thirty or
forty large vessels owned by Americans,
but sailing under Hawaiian colors,
which may then run up the stars and
stripes and be entitled to all
the protection and privileges OF
the national flag. At present,
as the navigation laws stand, no vessel
built in a foreign yard can hoist the
American colors, and no vessel flying
foreign colors can be used in the home
country trade
There are number of capitalists in
this city who have interests in the
Hawaiian islands, but who do not own
the vessels which they employ between
there and this coast They have found
it cheaper to buy or build a steamer or
ship in Europe and bring it out here,
where they put it under the Hawaiian
dag and nominaly in the name OF
some Hawaiian agent
What is said to be another point OF
Importance in the probable change Is
the large choice of vessels which it will
give the new line competing with the
Pacific Mail. AS soon as the terms OF
the treaty in this point are ratified all
large and convenient vessels now used
in the island trade will be available for
use between San Francisco and Pan

DEAD LETTER PROVISION.

The resolution Of the common council
for the payment of the street force
semi-monthly was signed by the mayor
May 10, and it was expected by the
street force that they would be paid their
half-monthly wages the middle of the
month; but they were disappointed, and
have not yet been paid. Just where
the fault lies is not quite clear; but it is
supposed that the comptroller has called
the attention of the city engineer to the
fact that the BELL charter requires that
all pay rolls must be passed by the COM
mon council. and thus brought about a
delay in sending the rolls down for
action until he, the comptroller, could
formulate one of his screeds to the
council.
A good many believe that the common
council epassed the resolution because
they did not dare to do otherwise, and
that it will not be enforced if plausible
ways out Of doing so can be found.
This may seem a small matter to some
of these men who live in luxury, but it
is very serious one to the laborers who
are compelled to buy their groceries and
clothing on credit and pay two prices
for them. 1t would be only small
matter to the members of the council to
convene twice month and pass these
rolls, SO that the laborers could get their
money on certain dates; but it is sus-
pected that their sympathies for these
unfortunate men are not strong enough
to induce them to do so. There is little
doubt that they would do SO with great
pleasure. if they thought their political
interests depended upon it.
