GATHERING THE EXHIBITS.
Chiefs and Commissioners Of the
Worlds Fair Have Great Tasks to

Worlds Fair Have Great asks 20
Perform.
Worlds Fair, st. Louis, Sept. 29.-Dr.
John A. Holmes, chief of the DEPART
ment of mines and metallurgy Of the
worlds fair, has returned from an ex-
tensiye trip which well illustrates the
work which the various chiefs of eX-
hibit departments are performing. Or.
Holmes went first to Nashville, Tenn,
where he delivered an address before
the Cotton States Commissioners OF Ag-
riculture and State Chemists. His ad-
dress treated of the interests of the
southern states at the worlds fair. The
delegates were representative men of
the south, many of whom will be state
commissioners at the coming exposi-
.tion. DIR. Holmes next attended the
international Mining Congress at Butte,
Mont, probably the greatest gathering
of mining interests ever held. Here he
delivered an address upon the work of
great expositions in promoting mining
interests. The congress adopted resolu-
tions approving the general plans OF
the coming exposition and recommend
ing that strong effort be made to have
the mining and mineral exhibits far
surpass any former display at an expo
sition. DIR. Holmes visited some of the
great copper mines of Montana and ar
ranged for exhibits which will not only
represent the great mines themselves.
hut the process of smelling and refin-
ing copper. At Ogden, Utah, he met
some Of the leading geologists and min
ing engineers of that state, with the
result that magnificent exhibit of
minerals will come from Utah. In Colo
RADIO other mines were visited, with re-
suits equally favorable, as Colorado has
set about her task with the intention of
SURPRISING, if possible, the other state
exhibits at the worlds fair.
Reports from the commissioners who
are representing the worlds fair in dis
tant countries are favorable. South
American countries will be on hand
with magnificent exhibits. The Argen-
tine Republic, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and
other republics are preparing displays
that will far outriyai any former eff
forts in this direction. The Central
American republics, to which John Rice
Chandler is the commissioner. have sent
official acceptances and the preparation
of exhibits is under way. Mexico. which
investment of American capital along
with American management in the de-
velopment of her natural resources, will
have at the worlds fair the equivalent
of great Mexican exposition. Her
rlans are broad and the displays in the
principal exhibit buildings will portray
the wonderful development of that
country. From Europe encouraging re-
sports are pelng received, and the Lead
ing countries will all be represented
under government auspices. Commits
sioner Barrett's reports from the orien-
tai countries are full Of promises OF
great things. China and Japan will be
represented as never before at a great
exposition. 1t may be truly said that
the entire world has now become inter
ested In the coming worlds fseslr and
each country, province and state Will
contribute q share to its success.

be felt at the fact that the banks are
slightly below the legal reserve-that
margin being ample for safety. espe-.
cially in present conditions of general
soundness-it is evident that we must
not be surprised at a further contrac-
ton in loans unless bank reserves are
replenished by larger arrivals of gold
than those now on the way. The latter
will afford only temporary relief: and,
since money, like any other conveni-
ence, goes where it Is most wanted and
commands the best returns. 1t is prob
able that Europe will have to allow us
the temporary use of part of the pres
ent surplus OF gold In the big European
banks. Very likely some important
loans which were to have been ffoated
in the foreign markets this autumn will
be postponed until American demands
are satisfied.
