Selected by the President This
Afternoon at the white House.
Joseph FIory the Most Prominent
Candidate for Secretary at Present
Ex-senator John NJ Thurston was
this afternoon designated Chairman Of
the St Louis Fair Commission BIZ the
President Mr. Thurston called at the
White House with four members Of the
Commission. ex-senator Lindsay. ex-
Senator Mcbride. Representative Al
len, and Col. John f Miller, and had
a brief conference with the President
regarding their work Mr. Mckinley
ar nounced his selection of Mr.. Thurston
FOR Chairman, and the Commissioners
proceeded to the State Department
where in the Office OF Secretary Hay
they all took the oath Of Office.
Under the law creating the Commits
sion the members are 10 meet within
thirty days after their appointment and
organize = call for meeting viii be
issued BIZ the Secretary OF state, who
VIII also designate the place, which viii
be in St. Louis. The Commission VIII
first select a secretary and other off,
defeated Republican candidate for Cow
ernor of Missouri, is regarded as the
leading candidate for the secretaryship.
He was ar applicant for commission
ership but it is understood that an
agreement was reached whereby he is
to be secretary of the board, instead.
The first work Of the Commission
VIII be to consider the plan and scope
Of TIE Exposition and 10 decide upon a
general outline of what the faI- is to be.
4 site Will then be selected to conform
to the plans adopted The Commission
ers have as yet given but little thought
10 the question OF postponing the fair
until 12e4, and before considering it de-
sire to ascertain what progress has
been made by the people OF St Louis
lIr Lindsay said today that so far as
the Government is concerned, he
thought The Exposition could be held in
1903 as originally contemplated, as the
money appropriated can of course be
had at any time it is needed, and that
the matter of Postponement would de-
pend entirely on ether questions.
It Is sad that unless there is a post
pOLiCLLS4At l4itii 4Tv-s many Oh the
States VIII not be represented at the
Exposition In a large number OF
States where the Legislatures meet BIZ
enniaIIy there viii be no opportunity
for them TO make an appropriation for
an exhibition until early in 1903, which
would scarcely afford sufficient time for
any extensive disnlay. It Is recalled
that the Columbian ExUasiticn vas
postponed one year when it was found
that plans could not be completed in
time for holding the fair in 1882 It
would not be surprising, therefore, If
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition was
postponed
The most serious objection made to
the delay is the fact that if there isasE
postponement it viii throw the fair iItkz
the year OF the Presidential campaign.
This is not desired BIZ the politicians,
and II is also feared that the fair might
be Injured thereby

DISPOSING OF AGUINALDO
The Question Not Yet Settled by
the War Department.

General Macarthur Net Ready to
Recommend His Unconditional Re
IeaSe-Fiiipino CIieftain Likely to
BE Held Pending the Surrender of
Other Leaders in the FfcId-Prcs-
ident Orders That He Be Treat
ed with All Due Consideration.
It is said by War Department Off
Gals that the question Of Gisposing OF
Asuinaldo has not been settled by rea-
son Of his taking the oath of allegiance
to the United States Government In
his cabIecrara to the War Department
yesterCay. telling Of AguinaIdo's acton.
Genera Macarthur also made certain
recommended tons lie regard 70 the fu-
ture treatment Of his prisoner
It IS known that General Macarthur
did not recommend his Immediate and
unconditional release This cannot be
accomplished until Aguinaldo has sat
isfed General Macarthur that the
charges against him of violating the
rules Of war are untrue
Pending an investigation of these re-
ports, therefore, Aeuinaldo wIll ne de-
taiued at the Palace, though he VII not
be kept in close confinement
Secretary Rect has. by direction Of
the President. instructed General Mac
Arthur TO accord Aeuinaldo every con-
stderation and treat him with proper
courtesy. It is certain that General
Macarthur viii. through Chief Justice
Arellano. endeavor TO persuade Again-
aldo of the ACCESSIBILITY Of issuing an
address to the FnipinGs pIocIaiming the
end Of the insurrectiCn- announcing his
own allegiance 10 American authority
and urging all natives to cease hostili-
ties and avail themselves Of the terms
OF The amnesty proclamation before its
expiration on May l.
The present intention Of the Admin
isgration, It Is said, is 10 retain control
over Asuinaldo until the insurG- Ilts
themselves acknowledge the termina-
ton OF hostilities. Asuinaldo can Sc
cure such acknowledgement from the
few leaders who are now refusing 10
surrender. lie is to be given perfect
freedom in consulting with his former
followers. and II is hoped that il Will
be hUt Few Gays DeitIe ne " al ISSUE
an address urging Sandico and otEer
leaders to capitulate.
7 is said that the officials here do NOT
believe it expedient TO allow AguinaIEo
absolute freedom until Sandico and
Alejandrfno have given Up the heht
AIejandrino has several times been
spoken Of as successor TO AgUinaldo
and the Government would profit little
by Aguinaldos taking the oath Of ale
glance SO long as Sandico and Alejan-
drino were determined to continue hos
tilities.
Il is held that Aguinaldo. having an
nounced his allegiance to American au-
thority, cannot offer any excuse for not
urging his followers TO do the same, and
it is therefore believed he will accede
tc Chief Justice AreIlano's further ad-
vice Il is not fully determined, how

opmeuts- Should he prove his limo
