THE ST. LOUIS WORLDS FAIR.

thoriZed all reports that the fair will be
postponed, there Is a general belief in st.

cient to convince any one that the fair
cannot be held in 1903. While an enormo
amount of work has been done. the period
of construction may be said to be just be-
ginning. The site Is not yet cleared and
the grading Is incomplete Work has bare
ly started on the construction Of workmen S
and storage buildings. Only seven or eight
states have made any appropriation what
ever for exhibits at the fair, and several
of these have made only preliminary ap-
propriations. The final work of securing
appropriations from states cannot be con-
summated until the next session of the
legislature next winter.
Foreign governments have indicated that
it is impossible for them to get ready by
1903 Japan has made formal request for
poStp0nement.

been reiteraing for months that the fair

He said the adoption of the substitute
would merely put off the evil day The
present legislation was meagre and it was
only proper that Congress should act af-
tirmatively and courageously upon'the ques-
ton.
Mr.. Lodge strongly antagonized that pro-
vision of the bill which excludes Chinese
from employment on American ships. The
adoption of that provision, he said. would
put every American vessel on the Pacific
coast in an absolutely hopeless position. He
declared that it would drive every Ameri
can ship on the Pacific coast under a for
eign flag and send every foreign ship into
Vancouver.
Mr.. Frye (Me) explained that as presi-
dent pro tempore he frequently received
dispatches and letters bearing upon legis-
lation proposed. He had received some
concerning the pending bill and he read sew
etal dispatches from business men of San
Francisco expressing the hope that the
pending bill would not pass, because it. was
too drastic in it's provisions; because it
would interfere with our. trade with China
and insisting upon the re-enactment of the
Geary act, which, they said, would protect
