LOAN TO EXPOSITION.
President Francis Explains to House
Committee.

An extended explanation of the proposed
loan of S.500.000 by the government to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company
was made today by David r. Francis, presi-
dent of the company, to the House commit
tee on industrial arts and expositions. Mr.
Francis was accompanied by a number OF
officers of the company. Preliminary to his
statement Chairman Tawney announced
that the Senate committee had the matter
under consideration as an amendment to
the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. 1t
was proposed to have this amendment in
troduced In the House in the form of a
bill The hearing today was, ne said to
permit 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 1t provided for loan OF
A.JW.0O0 to the exposition company.
MIR. Francis reviewed every feature of the
enterprise at length. In acreage. he said, IL
equaled the Chicago. Buffalo and Paris ex-
positions combined. Foreign governments
had appropriated a total of $3.50 600 for
their buildings and exhibits The states and
territories have appropriated an aggregaS e
OF S4.UOo.U0. He said the estimate of S1J-
100000 as the cost of the exhibition had
been found to be decidedly too low Chi
cago had expended s22 O30 900 before OPEN
Ing the gates. With the loan now asked
the exposition would. he said represent an
expenditure of $19600.O00.
The increased cost OF labor as compared
with this item of expense at the Chicago ex-
position, he said. amounted to at least -
per cent. Labor was so per cent of the cost
of the exposition, and this increase alone
amounted to at least 100000.

MR.. BAKERS GRIEVANCE.
The Speaker Decided That It Was Not
a Privileged Matter.

When the House convened today Mr.. Ba-
ker IN. W arose to question of personal
privilege, announcing that local news
paper contained an article concerning him
in which there were misstatements of facts.
The Speaker asked IL the gentleman's
rights or reputation were affected by the
publication, Mr.. Baker replying that it af-
fected his reputation.
The article. which was read, related to
Mr.. Bakers threat of few days ago that
he would refuse unanimous consent in the
future. objection having been made to his
request to extend remarks.
The reading provoked laughter on the re-
publican side. Mr.. Payne objected, saying
the matter did not come within the scope Of
personal privilege.
Mr.. Baker thought he had a grievance in
that the article applied his threat to refuse
unanimous consent to republicans when he
did not so specify.
The Speaker agreed with Mr.. Payne that
this was not privileged matter, and the
incident was closed.
The bill to ratify and amend a treaty
with the Sioux tribe of Indians on the
Rosebud reservation. which had reached
the point of third reading Saturday, was
passed. The House then proceeded to the
consideration OF District Of Columbia bust
ness.

: The case of the state of South Dakota

Of the North Carolina Railroad Company
given by the state of North Carolina to

Dakota holds ten bonds of 81 600 each under
a gift from Simon Sehafer and Samuel M.
Schafer of New York city, the amount due
on the bonds and coupons attached being
$4,000. =.s..,.
The opinion was rendered by Justice
Brewer, and the decree of the court was
embodied in the following: "A decree will.
therefore, be entered, which. after finding
the amount due on the bonds and coupons
in suit to be $274O0, no interest be recov-
cradle, and that the same are secured by
one hundred shares, of the stock of the
North Carolina Railroad Company, belong
ing to the state of North Carolina, and d.
reefs that the. said state Of North Carolina
pay said amount to the state of South Da-
kota, and that in default of such payment
an order Of sale be issued to the marshal
of this court, directing him to sell at public
auction all the interest of the state of
North Carolina in and to one hundred
shares of the capital, stock Of the North
Carolina Railroad Company, such sale to
be made at the east front door of the Capt.
