The Worlds Fair Ronrd.

The board of control of the worlds Co.
lumbar commission held an adjourned
meeting at the Arlington Hotel today
There were present President Palmer of
Chicago. Secretary John T. Dickinson of
Texas, Gen. J. w. st. Clair Of West vir-
ginia. Gov. Waller of Connecticut, George
V. Massey Of Delaware. Commissioners
Platt Of Ohio. Sanders Of Mississippi and
Dowsley of Minnesota. John Boyd Thacher
and Mr.. A. T. Britton of the bureau of
awards were also present and took part in
the proceedings.
The question Of the preparation of a his
tory Of the exposition was considered, and
1t was stated that some provision would
have to be made to meet the expense Of the
publication. President Palmer thought that
$lS,OOU would be needed for this purpose
and about $12,O0 additional to meet other
expenses incident thereto, but whether Con-
gress would be asked to authorize the board
to use funds appropriated for other uses
or whether some other eXpedient should be
adopted was not fully decided. The board
will continue it's sessions until about Sat-
urday, when 1t will adjourn.

MUST BE TAKEN Up.
The Hawaiian Matter Not Co he
Smothered I'm the House.

Those who are responsible for affairs In
the House have practically decided mot
withstanding the efforts of the administra-
ton to smother the Hawaiian matter al
together) that the whole question must he
taken up and disposed OF. Their expecta-
ton is that IL there are no further develop
ments in the situation ina Hawaii. ana the
matter stands there just as IL was left
when Mr.. Dole declined Mr.. wilns' very
polite offer to surrender the government
the question will not be taken up In the
House until after the tariff debate Is over
III, however, there is a revolt OF ary sort
Of violence beyond what is already re-
ported, the matter will have TO come up
as soon as such facts develop. The posi-
uon taken by the democratic leaders out
side of the committee on foreign AFFAIRS
which is entirely I'm control OF the admin
istration. Is that several days must be
given for a full discussion OF the oues-
tion and that the House must not confine
Its action to the mere consideration OF the
resolution of the. foreign affairs commit
tee cQ1demning Stevens. but must take
up the whole question to the present date
The idea is, IL the situation does not get
worse than at present, that either the
resolution introduced In the Senate by Mr.
Turpie or that prepared by Mr.. Holman
should be adopted. This action, OF course,
Is not such as the situation seems 90 de-
mand. nor what those who disapproye OF
the administrators course would like,
but II would be a rebuke to the admins
tration.

WAR ON THE RACE TRACKS.
Organization of the National Anti
Gambling League.

Gambling League.
the gentlemen who engineered the over
throw of the race track interests in New
Jersey last fall to extend the work to every
state in the Union. A committee Is now
engaged in laying plans for beginning Op-
erations in q very practical way in this
city.
The name OF the organization is the Ma
tional Anti-gambling League. Its object is
in the language of its chief promoters, Ito
offer an incorporating opposition to
every form OF betting and gambling and
to diffuse among young men and others
useful Information on the subject by edu-
cation, agitation and legislation, and to
hold out the hand OF love and help to all
young men fallen by this vice"
Nearly every state has been heard from
already, and In many states organization
before anything like national organiza tion
will be attempted. Work will begin at once
In this state and In this city. 1t Is the pur-
pose to build up an organization as COM
piete as any of political nature. The
methods to be used will be those which
proved so very effective against the race
track clique in the election in New Jersey
II Is campaign Of exposure and publicity
that these ger tlemen are about to enter
upon. They propose to keep the public fully
informed upon the condition Of the city and
state In respect to gambling and the laws
and TO appeal not to the courts, but to pub
lie opinion, the legislature and the ballot
box, for redress.
The Ives pool law is to be the first target
1t Is believed that the organization can
bring some weighty arguments to bear on
the question Of iegalizing race track gam
bling.

He Wants the COmmis issiOners to Erect
Transfer Stations.

He wants the Commissioners to Erect
Transfer Stations.
Senator Butler has grown tired of walt
ing for the Washington and Georgetown
Railroad Company to erect transfer sta
tions at the corner Of 18th street and Penn
sylvania avenue, and Of standing around In
the rain while the plans for this struc-
ture are being drawn. He had an exper-
ience on Monday, when he was waiting for
a 14th street car at this junction to take
him to his home on N street northwest in
drizzling rain, and the result Of his dis
comfort took the form of a resolution in
troduced by him today in the Senate to
the following effect:
Resolved. That the Commissioners Of the
District of Columbia be, and they are here
by, directed to have erected suitable and
convenient sheds or covers at each and
every transfer station Of the street car
and herdic lines OF the District Of Colum-
bia for the protection Of passengers"
Il will be seen that this resolution, which
was referred to the committee on the Dis
trict, is very wide in its scope. 1t does not
ask the Commissioners to ask the railroad
companies to have these stands erected; 1t
does not ask them to inquire whether such
stands can be erected, but it tells the Com
missioners point blank to have it done II
this resolution is carried out every trans
fer station in the city will be provided with
a she'd including the much discussed juno
ton Of the herdic lines at Lafayette Square.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
What Representative Holman Says |
About Restoring the Ex-Hawaiian |
Queeu.

Queen.
"A reason once admitted in favor of lib
erty should never be recalled. whether true
or false This political MAXIM said
Representative Holman this morning, 'is
rs ancient as the Justinian code and IL is
as true today as it was centuries ago." NJ
Holman's remark was apropos of the pro-
posed resolution which he may at an early
day introduce in the House protesting
against any action on the part of this gov
ernment looking to a re-establishment of
the monarchy of Hawaii.
My resolution" said Mr. Holman this
morning. will be offered only in the event
that the House committee on foreign af-
fairs decline to report resolution disap-
proving the seating of the queen upon
the throne again. / prefer that the COM
mittee shall take the initiative in the mat
ter. II they do not / shall feel compelled
TO offer my resolution 1 don't see how We
can restore the queen. She gets her title.
rot from the people. but in the line Of
descent. We have never been in the busi-
ness Of bolstering up that form Of govern
ment and we ought not to begin 1t now."
Mr.. Holman was asked IL IL would not be
an act of justice to restore the queen and
II IL were true that she was dethroned be-
cause of the Intervention of this govern
ment. Mr.. Holman replied that he had no
doubt that Minister Stevens had acted un-
wisely. but that should not alter our posi-
ton in the matter. The revolution was
sure to come sooner or later, and" said
Mr.. Holman. again dropping into ancient
history, "a reason once admitted in favor of
liberty should never be recalled, whether
true or false"
I'VE ought, too" continued Mr.. Holman,
''to protest strongly against the interference
Of any foreign country in Hawaiian affairs.
we did IL In the of Mexico and we
ought to do 1t in the Pacific. To all pracs
tical purposes the Monroe doctrine applies
as strongly to Hawaii as it does to North
or South or Central America"

MAI. JONAS TELLS A STORY.
One Of the Results of Having . Senate
Weather Bureau.

One Of the Results of Having . senate
Weather Bureau.
Major Jonas. the deputy sergeant-at-arms
of the Senate, is a man of strong faith
He believes firmly when he believes at ALL
and he has recently been putting himself
to severe test by trying to believe in the
predictions Of the weather bureau. The
new instruments that have just been in
stalled in the marble room were the OBJ
ject Of his closest scrutiny this morning
The recording barometer. or "barograph,"
had been contenting itself for several hours
by remaining stationary and drawing a
straight line across the sheet. Mr.. Jones'
the envoy OF the weather bureau. was ex-
planning his pet pieces Of brass to the off,
cial and pointing to the blue line, said: :
THE barometer will rise very soon!"
How do you know it will?" queried Mai.
Jonas.
Because it is time for it to RISE" replied
Mr.. Jones; because the low has gone by
and the high Is sure to follow
The major was about to accept the situ-
alton without murmur, but his memory
story.
THAT reminds me-" he went on, .'of the
case Of a man who had died and who was
carried out to the cemetery. When the
was to take place, 1t was discovered that
the sexton had failed to dig a grave, and
there was no spade. So the party all trudg-
ed on to get spade, leaving the coffin on
the ground. While they were gone, the man
came out Of the trance that had been mis-
taken for death, and managed to burst the
lid on the coffin. Sitting up in the box, he
locked around at the tombstones and the
thought occurred to him that the day Of
resurrection had arrived But the solitude
puzzled him. and he pondered for a long
time. At length he expressed the situation
by concluding: Well I'm either ahead OF
time or else I'm nightly belated.
Il hope your barometer won't be out of
its reckoning" concluded the major, as he
hurried off to rebuke a page who was in
sisting upon using the lobby as a race
track.

The story to the effect that Mr.. J. w. AL
baugh had abandoned. for the present. all

on account Of the trouble he has met with
from the property holders in the neighbor-
hood Of the site he has selected on H street
is not generally believed here. MIR. Albaugh
is in Baltimore. but Mr.. Harry w. Fisk, his
representative in this city, said to Star
reporter this afternoon that so far as he
knew there was no reason to believe that
the undertaking had been given up. The
first intimation that he had received that
such was the case was in the morning pa
pers, and he did not believe the story was
authentic. In an interview with a reporter
of the Baltimore Sun in Baltimore last
evening. MIR. Albaugh is quoted as saying:
"It is true there Is hitch in my negotia-
tions for the H street lot. A number Of
those who signed my petition withdrew
their signatures, owing to pressure from the
authorities of the Columbian University,
which the lot adjoins. There Is, however.
still a chance that I may be successful
The Corcoran Art Gallery building was Of
fered to me. as well as number of other
eligible sites. but the price Of the Corcoran
lot was SO high that did not seriously con-
slider it," .
