4 DiscreditabIe Proceeding.


In view Of the indisputable fact that the
Congressional Library in Washington is
admitted to be one of the most magnificent
modern buildings in the world, the petty
policy of penny-scraping which has for ten
years Kept the designers Of the structure
out of their rightful pay for the work is
nothing short of a disgrace TO our govern
ment. The architects Of the building,
Messrs. John L. S~mithmeyer and Paul j.
PelZ, devoted twelve years of arduous labor
10 the designs. the plans and the engineer
ing preparations for the erection of this
magnificent library; and, while giving time
and labor and skill without stint beyond
the terms nominated in the architects
bond. they charged the government only
the usual regular architects fees, which
their standing in the profession obliged
them TO charge. This fair and business
like charge has never been met. Taking
advantage Of trivial technicalities not
worth a moments consideration. the gov
eminent Of these United States has made
shift, like a fraudulent debtor, 10 neglect
payment of this just debt. This is a shame.
The quibblers and dodgers who have per-
sisted in refusing his payment. many
years overdue. Ia hope they are gaining
credit for being economical. but in reality
they are gaining humiliation and disgrace
for this Nation.

TO POSTPONE The SHOW
AMENDMENT TO THE SUNDRY CIVIL
APPROPRIATION
st. Louis Exposition Buildings to Be
Dedicated Next Year, but Not TO Be
Opened Until May 1, 1904.

WASHINGTON, May a. Secretary of
State Hay to-day sent to the Senate
a letter stating the necessity for postponing
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition from
1903 to 1904. Enclosed with it was a letter
from Chairman Carter of the government
commission, and a telegram from President
Francis. of TIE exposition company, show
ing the neces5.ty for the postponement.
Senator Cockrell had the letter read in the
Senate and then offered an amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill now
pending in the Senate, providing for the
postponement of the exposition in accord
ance with the request.
The postponement amendment provides
for the dedication of the buildings OF the
exposition on April 80, 1903, for the open
ing Of the exposition to visitors on May 1,
1904, and for it's closing not later than Dec.
l following. The coinage of $20O,OW in gold
dollar pieces, to be used as a souvenir coin,
is also authorized, the money thus pro-
vided TO be a part of the $5,000,O00 appro-
priated by Congress for the aid of the fair.
The telegram from d. r. Francis, presl-
dent of the exposition company, is dated
at st. Louis, May 1, and is addressed 10
T. H. Carter. president of the National
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commits
sion. 1t was outlined in Mr.. Francis's in
terview given out yesterday. Senator car
ter explains in his letter that Mr.. Francis s
telegram is in reply to a telegram from
himself. Mr.. Carter corrObOrateS the state
ments made by Mr.. Francis, and adds:
According to authorized facts and rea-
sonable bilities $20,OOO,O00 will be eX-
pended within the exposition grounds for
construction by the United States govern
ment, foreign governments, the exposition
company, the States, the Territories and
concessionaires. With the labor and the
manufacturing forces of the country in
demand TO their full capacity it is clear
that the successful marshaling of the nee
essary labor and material for the compile
ton of this great task within not to exceed
ten months of fair weather is questionable,
and if accomplished will surely involve
wasteful expense and leave little time for
the proper installation of exhibits" He,
therefore, as president of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Board, recommends
the transmission of the proposition to Con-
greSs.

Mixers Removed by the Company.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, April 2.-The Indiana
Natural Gas and Oil Company (the Chica-
go Pipe Line Company, that supplies this
city with fuel, has aroused the indigna-
ton of consumers by sending a force of
men around and removing, without notice,
all the mixers from heating stoves and
demanding that no gas be used during the
summer months, as has been the custom
heretofore. From now on people wanting
a little fire on cool mornings must pay
full monthly rates for the privilege. The
company is trying to force meter rates in
the city, and the supposed object in dis
connecting the stoves now is to compel
the consumers to use meters or do without
gas the coming winter. The Kokomo Nat
ural Gas Company has issued an order that
it will not take on any new connections.

poses to announce his discovery of a
method of extracting from ordinary
petroleum oil a liquid absolutely I'M

record for unfreezability hitherto held
by liquid air.
According to DR.. d Arsonyal the new

of the greatest importance to scien-
fists, especially in chemical research,
permitting the construction of Their

attained.
In his forthcoming communication
DR.. d'Arsonval will demonstrate other
valuable scientific uses of the new dis
