DISAPPOINTMENT INTIMAIED.
Exposition management May he Conn
PEELED to Postpone in Difference
to Foreign Exhibitors.

Chicago, April John Barrett,
commissioner-general to Asia for the
Louisiana Purchase exposition, left
Chicago last night for San Francisco,
EN- route to the orient. AS Mr.. Bar
rett had just returned from Washing
matte correspondence with foreign
governments on Worlds fair matters,
and as he also has been in recent con
ference with the fair officials at. st.
Louis, the following statement made
by him last night in reference to the
reports of a possible postponement
of the St. Louis exposition has a spe.
cial significance:
''The Worlds fair management in
st. Louis has been bending every en-
ergy to have the exposition open
promptly in 1903, but a grave condi,
ton has arisen which it can not con.
troll and for which it is not RESPONSE
bic. Nearly all of the foreign govern,
ments have officially notified the Unit
ed States government or the Worlds
fair management that it is a physical
impossibility for them to be credita-
bly, represented at st. Louis in 1907,
On the other hand, while the MAORI.
t,y of them have accepted for 1903 and
will do the best they can they have
informally intimated that, if the ex.
position is postponed, they will en-.
deavor to surpass even what they did
at Chicago and Paris.
"As the success of the Worlds fair,
us II great international exposition,
must depend largely upon foreign
participation, it can be seen that this
is a most serious consideration which
neither congress nor the exposition
officials can overlook. In short, if
the Worlds fair at St. Louis is post
poned it will be done largely in de-
ference to the wishes of foreign ma
tions. For instance, the Japanese
government has informally notified
me that Japan will welcome postpone.
ment and will participate according
ly, because in 1908, the great exposi-
tion is to be held at Osaka, which will
interfere with a worthy representa-
ton at ST. Louis, but in 1904, the best
of the Osaka exhibits could be
brought to st. Louis"
