ST. LOUIS WORLDS FAIR.


st. Louis, Aug 27.--'rherc has been
marked renewal of activity at Louis
lana purchase centennial worlds fair
headquarters recently. In accordance
with the programme mapped out at
the meeting held at the end of June,
active local work to secure the COM
pletion of the stock subscription fund
of Sj,000,000, will be commenced at
the beginning of September More
than S4,00O,0O0 Of this amount has
been pledged already, and 1t is be-
lieved the remainder will be obtained
soon after the books shall have been
reopened. At least one subscription
running into six figures Is confident
ly relied upon as an encouraging
starter for the last canvass. Both ex-
Gov. D. II. Francis and Mr.. William
II. Thompson look upon the early
completion of the fund MS certain.
Very encouraging correspondence
has been received with reference to the
constitutional amendments. So far no
opposition whateverh has developed and,
as only majority of the votes ac-
tually cast on the question Is neces-
sary, the carrying of the amendments
authorizing the issuance Of $50O0,OOo
of city bonds and the diversion from
the sinking fund of $1,OO0,0OO for a
state exhibit, is looked upon as a GER
tainty. Steps will, however, be taken
to bring the matter prominently be-
fore the voters of each of the coun-
ties In the state, in order that the
majority may be overwhelming and
further assurance given to the coun-
try that the movement is generally
Endorsed throughout the entire state.
Communications received from out
side points gave further evidence Of
the great interest taken In the Louis
lana purchase centennial, not only in
practically every state in the union,
but In very large number Of foreign
countries.
Correspondence from Paris indicates
the certainty Of securing several OF
the very best exhibits In the exposi-
ton there for the Louisiana centen-
NAL In 1903. Never since the inaugu-
rntion OF the worlds fair movement
has the correspondence Of the week
been spread over such an enormous
area. This Is owing to the large num-
Der Of replies received from United
States consuls to queries, asking what
each consulate district could be relied
upon to do at the Louisiana purchase
centennial. A majority Of the re-
plies are hopeful and enthusiastic in
character.
