EXPLAINED BY FRANCIS.
President Francis of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Explains
the Proposed Lonu.

Washington. Feb. Am extended
explanation of the proposed loan of
s4,5O0.0O0 by the government to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co,
was made, Monday. by David r. Fran
els. president of the company, to the
house committee on industrial arts
and expositions Mr. Francis was &C.
companied by a number of officers of
the company. Preliminary to his
statement Chairman Tawney an
nounced that the senate committee
had the matter under consideration
as an amendment to the urgent def
cheney appropriation bill. 1t was pro-
posed to have this amendment intro
duced in the house in the form of
bill. The hearing was. he said, to per
nit members to be informed as to
just what the proposition was in the
event that favorable action is taken in
the senate The amendment under
consideration in the senate committee
had been. he said. drawn with great
care. It provided for loan of $4,000
O00 to the exposition company.
Mr. Francis reviewed every feature
of the enterprise at length. In acre
age he said, it cQuslled the Chicago.
Buffalo and Paris eXpositions COM
bined Foreign governments had APP
propriated a total of s7,5OO,OO0 for
their buildings and exhibits. The states
and territories have appropriated an
aggregate of S7,0O0,000 He said the
estimate of $4,000 GOO as the cost of
the exhibition had been found to be de-
cidedly too low. Chicago had expended
500 100000 before opening the gates.
With the loan Iow asked the eXposi-
ton would. he said represent an ex-
penditure of $19, boo, 900.
The increased cost of labor as COM
pared with this item of expenses at the
Chicago exposition, he said, amounted
to at least 25 PEI cent. Labor was 30
per cent of the cost of the exposition
and this increase alone amounted TO at
least 81 100000.

pnrtmcnt Amid Concentrations
and Good-Bys for Retiring aud
Incoming Secretaries.

Washington. Feb. Gov. William
H. Taft took the oath Of Office as secre-
tary of war Monday and at once en-
tered upon his new duties. The cere-
mony took place in the large reception
room attached to- the secretary's office
in the war department, and the trans
fer of authority from Elihu Root, the
retiring secretary, to Gov. Taft, while
simply made, was more impressive
than any similar event in many years
Before noon. the appointed hour, Gov.
Taft came over to the department from
his hotel with little party of personal
friends and some of his immediate
family. They were ushered into Sec
rotary Roots office. where the retiring
secretary. in a few well chosen words
and with a good deal of feeling, sur
rendered his portfolio TO Gov. Taft.
The party then proceeded to the recep-
ton room, where Gen. Chaffee. chief
of staff. in uniform. took charge o. the
ceremonies. The room was cleared of
all except the participants in the in
duction save the party of friends and
members of the general staff.
Congratulations and GOod-Bys.
Gov. Taft and Secretary Root took
their places at the long table. where
stood John Randolph. notary. who
administered the oath of office to the
incoming secretary. Then there were
congratulations showered on Secretary
Taft and good-bys were said to Secre-
tary Root Every army officer on duty
in Washington was aligned at the door
way and the brilliantly uniformed col
umn. passing before the retiring and
incoming secretaries, formed a pretty
spectacle Secretary Taft was in the
best of spirits. and he had a smile and
good word for everyone. while Secre-
tary Root showed in his countenance
the relief he felt in laying down the
cares of the office
History Repeats Itself.
Hanging in his office as the new Sec
rotary was indicted into the arduous
duties of his post was a picture of his
distinguished father, Alphonso Taft.
who was President Grants secretary
of war in 1876 Thus father and son
have held the same portfolio, this be-
ing the second instance in the history
of the war department. the first being
presented in the incumbency of Simon
Cameron. under Lincoln. and James D.
Cameron, his son. under Grant There
is a single other case of the kind in
