The worlds fair officials have succeeded

The Worlds fair officials have succeeded
in inducing the senate appropriation commit
tee to insert into one of the appropriation
bills an item for the indemnification of the
French exhibitors who suffered a loss of
their exhibits at the fire in the
Manufactures building. The house had re-
fused to make this appropriation, but the
interested parties hope to push it through
the house in the shape of a senate amend
ment Thus the Worlds fair officials will
shift upon the taxpayers of the whole United
States the obligation which the stockholders
ought to discharge, and will increase by
nearly 500, 900 the already large bill which
the federal government has betrayed for the
benefit of the Chicago exposition. AS a
great part of the fair stock has been either
given over to the Field museum Of Chicago
or belongs to the city Of Chicago itself the
greater part of this appropriation will in
reality be subsidy to Chicago. The fed
eral government win doubtless be able to
stand the expense, but it is to be
hoped that this is the last bill
which the fair company will ask the United
States to pay for II.

CREATING SOME ANXIETY

The continued outflow Of gold is said to
BE- causing some anxiety in eastern financial
circles. More than half of the gold which
the New York bankers recently sent to the
treasury was exported last week, the out
ward movement for this week will be
heavy, and there is no indication of an early
cessation of the demand. This state of af-
fairs is naturally creating some solicitude,
because 1t is realized that 1t cannot con-
tinue much longer without causing gold to
go to a premium, Should that happen the
danger is that 1t will be accompanied by
a panic, which In the present condition Of
business could hardly fail to be most dis
astrous. Practical financiers who can under
stand what the possible effects of a pre-
MUM on gold would be may well feel
alarmed over a situation that promises such
a thing at any time.

state held a conference the other day in

upon issued an address to their people tell

all negroes vote for Oates and the demo-
cratic ticket, and urging them to do so.
