COL. nowMAN,s BILL FOR EXHIBIT

CALLS FOR FIFTY THOUSAND.
To De Utilized for the Collection OF
Builuins.-Arsumcnt for the Bill


The fight for an adequate exhibition by
the State of Virginia at the ST Louis
Worlds Fair was begun in the General
Assembly Yesterday when Hon. A. M.
Bowman, one Of the most progressive and
influential members Of the body, pro-
posed to appropriate $4,000 for such an
exhibit and the expense incident to pro-
vidng such a one, The bill proposes not
only to utilize the appropriation asked
for the collection of a great exhibit of the
States varied resources, using none OF
it for buildings at ST. Louis, but provides
further for the preservation of the arti-
cles exhibited and their permanent loca-
ton in this city in connection with the
Department Of Agriculture.
Hhe bill is one which it is believed will
meet with universal favor, and will result
in securing for Virginia an exhibit of her
natural resources worthy Of the Common
wealth. instead OF having the State
laughed at for the meagre and even plea
yune display made at Buffalo. The fair is
regarded generally as a fine opportunity
to advertise the resources of the State to
the world.
The first section of the bill appTopriates
$4,000 the same to be available on pas
sage of the act. 1t provides for COM
mission Of three, one of whom shall be the
Commiss oner of Agriculture, the other
two to be named by the Governor within
thirty days after passage of the act, and
subject to removal by him. The commits
sion is to be called together by the Gov
ernor within thirty days after appoint
ment for organization; it may employ

such assistants as may be necessary, not
exceeding five, one OF whom is to be pr1n-
cipal assistant with maximum salary OF
$l01 per month.
CHARACTER OF THE EXHIBIT.
The proposed commission is to be given
the necessary powers for the purchase,
preparation and transportation, exhibition
and return Of the articles and or the ma
terials exhibiting. the natural and mate
rial resources and industrial and CONNER
cial development of the State, said arti-
cles and material to comprise an exhabi-
ton Of the soil, mine, forest, and sea, ana

longing to the State, shall. upon their re-
turn to the State, be delivered by the COM

after the exposition. In this coni2sation
it may be stated that the number OF con1-

man expresses it about in this wise: THE
only logical conclusion | can ORA" from
these figures is that there is ample sur
plus in the treasury to-day to warrant
the Legislature in voting this appropria-
ton OF $4,000 without in any way enlbar-
RAISING the State financially. Nor will
this expenditure lead to any future en-
barrassrent."
Governor Montague IS warm advocate
Of proper advertisement Of the States
natural resources and opportunities and
of the commercial Industrial, and asri-
cultural upbuilding of the State, as shown
by his earnest plea therefor in his mes
sage and inaugural. He is counted upon
to give the advocates of the appropria-
ton every encouragement and may send
a special message to the General Assem-
bly, urging the appropriation.
Altogether the outlook is promising for
a Virginia exhibit at St. Louis.
