KANSAS WILL HAVE EXHIBIT.
Bill Appropriating 100000 Il
Passed hy the Senate.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Topeka, Kas. March 1.-The Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at st. Louis will have
a Kansas exhibit. The Senate has passed
the bill approrriating $4,000. and the House
will concur
Senator Carpenter made hard fight to
increase the amount Of the appropr.at ton TO
800, 900, but he was not successful. Senator
Allen wanted 1t placed at $4,000. and his
efforts were seconded by a large number OF
Senators. They argued II that amount was
not enough the next Legislature could In
crease it, as it would meet several months
before the opening Of the Exposition.
The Pan-American Exposition got an ap-
preparation of $4,000. The bill called for an
appropriation of $4,000. but a motion to cut
II to $4O. 900 was made and then amended to
make n 10000. Senator Carpenter fought
the bill. as he considered the exposition
too far away to do Kansas any good After
a good deal Of discussion 1t was decided TO
make the appropriation $4,000.
Each bill provides that five aanns Commission; sgs
ers shall be appointed by the Governor and
that the treasurer shall give bond to the
amount of $4,000.
