Places on st. Louis Exposition COM
mission Were in Great Demand.
Washington, March SO.-The Presidents
announcement of the membership of these
two important commissions completes a
work that has been receiving his atten-
ton for some time, and in the case of the
st. Louis commission the pressure for ap-
pointment has been almost unprecedent-
ed. The Congress of American Repub-
lies to be held at Mexico City next Oc-
tober is hardly less important, however,
and its international aspect promises to
be to the Western hemisphere what The
Hague congress was to Europe and the
few Western countries participating in it.
The list of the st. Louis APP
pointees has been made up for some
days. The President had desired to in
clude the name of Prof. NorthroD, but
this was found to be inexpedient, and
Prof. Northrop was accordingly given the
first place on the commission to the Con-
gress of American republics. The duties
of the st. Louis commissioners are I'M
usually responsible, for this body Of nine
members exercises all the authority given
TO the national commission of
the Chicago exposition, including
members and alternates from each of the
states and aggregating a hundred or
more members. AS Congress has appro-
priated $5000,000 to aid the project, and
st. Louis is pledged to raise $4,000, 900
more, the exposition will take on national
and international scope. The service of
the commissioners will probably cover
several years. as the exposition will not
be held until 1903, and until then the
work of the commission will be in pre-
pairing for the event
