DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE FAIR

Formal action for the postponement
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
to the year 1904 was taken on May
End, when the secretary of state, John
Hay. sent to the United States senate
a letter stating the necessity for an
additional year in which to prepare
the exposition. The reason for the
postponement exist in the fact that
many foreign governments would be
unable to participate in the exposition
in a BETTING lame if compelled to
repair themselves for 1903. In as
much as the plans for the exposition
contemplate a worlds fair in the
broadest sense of the term, 1t became
evident that without the complete par
ticipation of the leading governments
of the world it would fall far short Of
the ideal which the projectors have in
mind. The postponement of the fair
to 1904 is provided for in an amend
ment to the sundry civil %appropria-
lions bill now pending in the senate
offered by Senator F. M. Cockrell OF
Missouri. The amendment provides
for the dedication of the buildings OF
the exposition on April 80, 1903; for
opening the exposition to visitors not
later than May LIST, 1904, and for clos
ing not later than December LIST fol
lowing. The amendment also pro.
vides for the coinage of $259,0O0 il
gold dollar pieces to be used as sou.
venir coins and to be a part of the So
100000 appropriated by congress fol
the fair.
The postponement will not only per
nit the participation of all foreign
governments upon a much broader
scale than otherwise would have beer
possible, but it will assure a complete
exposition in many other details. Tht
plans of the exposition management:
up to the time of action for postpone
ment were based upon the eNpecta
ton of holding the exposition in 1908
but, as President Francis has said
while the management were ready tt
hold the exposition in that year, TIL
additional year will enable them t.
produce a far more magnificent AM
complete exposition"
