ALBANY. Feb. 1.-THE Worlds Fair 100000
appropriation bill came UP In tho Senate this
morning. and was received with such y storm
Of disapproval that it had to be laid aside.
Tho bill doubles the appropriation oil the
State Of New York. which is already as large
as the appropriation Of any other state except
Illinois. Intending exhibitors from the cities
OF the State have sent complaints to their rep
resentati,cs In the Legislature TINT the CHI
cago authorities are discriminating against
New York manufacturers. and that there is no |
use In appropriating any moro moneyto make
q fair n success which the better 1t succeeds
the moro It will help tho Chicago manu'ac-
turers at the expense OF New Workers..
When the bill came UP. Col. William Lucifer
Brown asked what had become OF the s3oO,ooo
appropriated last year. and which the Worlds
Fair on cials at that time had said would DO
sufficient. He wanted the particulars OF the
expenditures OF last years appropriations be-
fore he would favor any further appropria-
tons.
Senator Cantor who has the bill In charge.
said the Worlds Fair officials did not give
more particulars OF their expenditures be-
cause they did not want to give tipsto exribit-
ors and State Commissions elsewhere. They
were entirely willing to have their accounts
examined. but they did not think 1t advisable
to mako too full a financial statement.
1--WE want q full bill Of particulars OF what
has become Of this money" said Col Brown.
I'VE want to know whether 1t went for tho
purpose for which it was intended, or whether
it was expended for SIS. 200 dinners. scores OF
clerks. special trains to Chicago. carriages.
and such things as that. which do no good to
the manufacturer or business mon from New
York. Before appropriating any more money
for these luxuries. which do not benefit tho
people Of the State. we should find out lust
what hos been done. and Just what this money
is needed for"
Senator Saxton said that he wanted to know
the reason for a further appropriation before
he would favor it. II moro money was neccs-
sary he would favor the expenditure Of 1t by
