President Mckinley had his thoughts
everywhere when he was in the White
House and very little escaped his oJser-
walton. though he didn't make much fuss
about il. Every time we had to play at
the White House we had our little lunch
after the performance was over. When
We had finished the programme some mem
Der OF the White House staff would come
out TO US, thank our leader in the name
Of the President, and inform him that
you VIII find lunch downstairs
But no one has informed President
Roosevelt, evidently Of the previous Gus
tom for it's different now We are
thanked very kindly for the music. but 1
can tell you from experience that does not
satisfy the stomach.
Some Of our men have talked the mat
ter over. and thought IL would be a spIen-
did idea TO take their lunch with them in
little wicker baskets. That's against the
rules. however, I know that wouldn't be
allowed. But ! can't see how they could
be prevented from putting a sandwich

As the plea for the admiral is for plain

is no need Of Mr.. Rayner relying upon

WANT 100000 APPROPRIATED.
Head officials of Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition Divided Among

Difficulty Of Getting Foreign TX
hibits for 1903 Causing Trouble.

1t is not improbable that Congress will
be asked to postpone the ST Louis
Worlds Fair from 1893 to 1904. Accord
ing TO statements made by managers o.
tine fair il seems that the foreign Govern
ments viii be unable 10 have their ex-
hibits ready before 1904 and without the
foreign exhibits the fair, it is claimed,
viii not be a success
The one question that is worrying the
managers Of the fair is. II the exposition
is postponed will Congress refuse to ap-
propriate the 100000 for the Govern
ment exhibit
Anxious TO Make Ii n Success.
Enquiry today among the friends Of The
fair developed the fact that the sentiment
Of Congress is decidedly in favor of any
proposition that viii make the exposition
a success OF course, there is no mis-
taking the desire on the part OF all con-
nected with the Louisiana Purchase ceIe-
bratiou that the exposition omen on sched-

Chase-but rather than have it prove a
failure they are willing that Il 90 over

ernments may make an exhibit that viii
do credit to themselves as well as add 10
the attractiveness Of the exposition.
II is but fair to state, however, that
there Is more or less friction between
some Of the higher officials Of the admin
istratiye machinery OF the exposition it
self on the subject Of postponement.
Views Not in Accord.
Mr.. AdoIphus Busch. general foreign
representative Of the Exposition Com
pany and one OF the heaviest stOckhoId-
ers. says that the celebration must be
held over a year, or It viii be a decided
failure, as far as foreign exhibits are
concerned.
Former Governor Francis. president Of
the Exposition Company, who is, with Mr.
Busch, feeling the Government officials
and members Of Congress on the sub
ject, is emphatic, today, in his assertion
that he is opposed to a ostpOnement
first last, and all the time.
Despite Mr.. Francis eehphatic asser-
tons TO the contrary. he-is believed 20 be
in favor Of the postponment If Sc can
