Resolutions by Official Representatives of States et Exposition.
 Norfolk, Va, July 14.-At the meet ing of the State Commissioners Asso- citation of the Jamestown exposition, held at the Missouri building. July 5, the following resolutions were unani- mcusly adopted, and asked to be pub lished by the newspapers of the coun- try.
 Whereas, we believe that the repre- sentations in some of the papers of the country in relation to the Jamestown exposition, and to the accommodations and cost of living in this vicinity, are unjust to the exposition, and conse- quently grossly misleading to the peo- pls of this country; and it is due to the citizens of oru respective States that they should have from us such authoritative information about this exposition as will enable them to form a just opinion of its value and charac- t9r and to mature their plans to visit it, with such knowledge of conditions as we, their representatives, can, from our investigation and experience, give them; therefore
 Resolved, That we hereby testify to the magnitude and varied attractions of this exposition, ranking, as 1t does, with the leading expositions of the country, appropriately celebrating the ter-centennial of our nations birth, and we commend it to our fellow-citizens as worthy of their confidence and pat ronage.
