Demand Credit Currency.

The resolution adopted by the Ameri-
can Bankers Association at its recent
Atlantic City convention favors the credit
currency plan submitted BY the cosmis-
sion appointed last year and favored gem
orally by eastern inancierS, although OPP
posed by western men. This indicates
that another effort will be made to get
another credit currency law through Con-
gress. In general the plan i to author
ize national banks of good standing which
have a surplus fund equal to 20 per cent
Of their capital TO issue credit notes in

FAIR IS A FAILURE.
jamestown Exposition Has Proved
an Affect Fizzle.

al ADJSCt ElZzle.
According to a Washington CORE
spondent, the jamestown exposition has
proved an abject failure 1t is hope
lessly bankrupt. The government Is to
lose the million dollars it loaned, and
lobby is preparing to invade Wash
ington to try to saddle the public treas
ury with the other $2,O00,00O of the
expositlon's debt.
The total liabilities of the exposition,
according to official figures, will reach
the sum of $3,465,0oO The total assets
are $4,000. Therefore the exposition
is bankrupt to the tune of $2,S55.0O0.
Second mortgage bonds will be due
next month for $370000. There are
first mortgage bonds due next year for
100000, and the exposition owes the
United States government up to dats
$SSS, 900. The assets OF the exposition
consist of the permanent improvements
to the real estate, estimated at $780,
900. Fixtures and furniture $4,000
and unpaid stock subscriptions $780,
600. The exposition has cost over
$5,000,000 The buildings put up by
the exposition company cost $1,750,OO0.
Those erected by the States $1,500,0O0,
and those by concessionaires $1,000,000.
The government and exhibitors each
have spent about 100000. The total
gate receipts to date have been about
$50S,000. The daily expenses have been
$1,000. The expenses have from the
beginning been greater than the re-
ceipts.
Perhaps the most potent reason for
the eXpostion's failure is found in the
purpose of party of the original pro-
moters to engineer a clever real estate
speculation 1t was figured that the
exposition was to bring Improvement
to the barren waste of land which was
were to profit by this unearned mere
ment by becoming owners of this land.
This influenced the choice of the ex-
POSITIONS SITE and the most important
reason for its failure was the inacces-
sibility of this site. To reach the place
a boat trip from Washington of twelve
hours was required, and there never
has been a time when there were
enough boats to handle the traffic COM
fortably. In addition to which there
were no facilities at the exposition for
covering the ground, and the visitor
was subjected from the beginning to
all manner of petty imposition and dis
comfort. q
A determined effort will be made In
Congress to foil the efforts of the lobby
to try to make the government "a goat
for this losing speculation.

the 4th day of July, when the suffering
garrison stacked their arms and 1900

The siege of Vicksburg is considered
one of the most remarkable in all mill

overcome were tremendous. Again and
again were the naval forces on the riv-

whole nation knew that the struggle
must never end until vicksburg was in
The hands of the Union forces.
The United States government has,
in commemoration of the great siege,
purchased the fighting ground around
