the exposition goods and exhibits have
not been allowed to enter the grounds.
The order has been rescinded. United
States Commissioner General Peck,
foreseeing the jam OF cars that would
be occasioned by this sudden release
this morning. conceived an ingenious
plan for getting the American exhibits
thru without delay. He is now carry
ing out his plan to the bewilderment
of slower witted commissioners OF other
countries.
& Two locomotives have been chartered
by the United States commissioner.
These have been specially charged with
the task Of bringing in the cars loaded
with American exhibits. instead OF all
lowing them to wait their turn until
the railway authorities are ready to
move them. The United States will
thus, in all probability. have Its ex-
hibits at least within the grounds by
today or tomorrow at the latest.
All the way between Paris and Havre
the sidings at the small stations are
crowded with freight cars carrying
goods for the exposition. The greatest
confusion prevails and 1t is next to i'm
possible to, find particular exhibits.
They have got all mixed up in the most
exasperating manner.
