mand Of prominent people Of Ohio. and

itants, the General Assembly of this

dents Of the state, whose duty 1t should
be to formulate plans and devise ways
and means for the due observance of
the centennial of Ohio In the year

General Assembly. The Governor
performed the trust, and the commits

the subject made Its report to tho

on the 21st day Of April 1898, made
part of the record of that body, In a

the must important question arising
In the present general assembly is
that OF the representation OF the state
at the Centennial TO be held in To-
ledo in 1902. 1t is argued that the state

o manner as to make 1t practically a
disgrace not to participate therein or
to see the Centennial to its finish. and
there is a sentiment that Ohio should
celebrate her participation In, the
event in a manner commensurate with
her standing in the union. and her
wealth and importance as state.

.Ohio's Official Acts.


Two years ago, then, 1t will be seen
that the state OF Ohio officially decid-
ed to have an exposition; officially de-
termined that it should be held at To-
ledo; officially invited her sister states
of the union, as well as foreign ma
tions, to participate therein; and off,
cially created a commission with in
structions to report to the general as-
sembly what was necessary in order
for the state to creditably perform its
part. 1t is now claimed that SO far
then as the state is concerned. she has
planted herself in an almost irrevoca-
BILE position with reference to the Gen.
tcnnial celebration, and cannot. re-.
treat with honor.
In addition to these facts 1t is fur
ther cited that the congress of the Uni;
ted States. March 8, 1899. passed an
act for the purpose of encouraging the
holding of the Ohio Centennial Exposi-
tion and made an appropriation OF
100000 to be expended by federal
commission; 100000 of which Is to .be
used for a government building. and
s300,000 to be expended in the ex-
hibits.
Following the act OF congress. thu
other states composing the old North
west Territory. viz: indiana. Illinois.
Wisconsin and Michigan. each passed
laws declaring the intention OF those
states to take part in the Ohio Gen.
tennial and Northwest Territory Ex-
position, and each provided for the ap-
pointment OF commission to prepare
plans and supervise the same relating
10 their participation in the Expos.

THE OUTFLOW OF GOLD.
Secretary Gage Sees No Danger in
the Movement.

The recent heavy expectation OF gold
gives Treasury officials no concern. Nor is
the outflow OF the yellow metal having any
effect on Treasury interests. Secretary
Gage said yesterday the shipping of gold
TO Europe would In no wise impair the
reserve, nor was it a cause for alarm
The movement he said, "is entirely nat
ural, and nature always tends to establish
just equilibriums. The negotiation on this
side Of so large part of the English loan
fully explains the movement. We have
gold to spare. and it will CO. and ought 10
go, where it can be most profitably en-
ployed.
AT the moment that place of most need
appears to be Great Britain and the Con-
tinent. We have a large supply of the
yellow metal-an increasing supply when
our domestic production is considered Be
sides this, we are buying at our assay
offices on the Pacific Coast almost the en-
tire product OF the British Klondike re-
