PARIS EXPOSITION REPORT.
The First Volume to Bc Issued Dur
ing the Coming Week

The first volume of Commissioner Cen
eral Peck's report on the Paris Exposition
will issue from the press at the Govern
ment Printing Office early next week. The
report has been all in type for some time
When completed the report will cover
over 5000 pages and will be divided into six
volumes. While, of course, the interests
of the United States at the exposition
are given most attention. the entire ex-
position is treated quite thoroughly. The
300 plates and fifty maps printed in the re-
port include many pictures of the build
ings along the Seine and several of the
exhibits made by American firms.
The law required the report to be de-
liveTod to the President by the Commits
soner within four months after the close
of the exposition. Thus the report was
brought to the recent session of Congress
just before adjournment. The press of
business was too great to secure the
passage of a joint resolution authorizing
copies to be printed for general public
distribution. AS a result there will be at
the present time but a single copy printed
for each member OF Congress and the
usual number for the departments and
the depository libraries.
