To Charge Decision Relative to Pan
anna Exposition.

London, Oct. 30.-With the view of
asking the British government to re-
consider its decision in regard to par
ticipation in the Panama Pacific Ex-
position at San Francisco in 1916, an
influential committee has been form
ed here, composed of the heads of the
great steamship. commercial and man
ufacturing companies. The commit
tee points out that since the govern
ment announced its negative decision
circumstances have changed consid
erably and many Of the large manu-
facturers have determined to take ad
vantage of the improved tariff con-
ditions in the United States and send
exhibits to San Francisco.
Information is being gathered by
the committee for presentation 10 the
government, the members of which
are being pressed already by their
supporters. including the Irish Nation
alists, to reconsider their decision.
