He Advises a Grant of From Five to Eight Millions. The following message from President Harrison accompanied the report of the World’s Fair Commission to Congress: To the Senate and House of Representa tives: I transmit herewith, for the information of Congress, the annual report of the World’s Fair Commission, a supplementary report of the same commission submitted February 16. the report of the board appointed by me under Section 16 of the act of April 25, 1899. to have charge of the exhibit to be made by the Executive departments, the Smithsonian Institute, the Fish Commission and the National Museum and the Board of Lady Managers. The information furnished by these re ports as to the progress of the work is not only satisfactory, but highly gratifying. The plan and scope adopted, and the site and buildings selected and now being erected are fully commensurate with the national and international character of the enterprise contemplated by the legislation of Congress. The Illinois corporation has fully com plied with the condition that $10,000,090 should be provided, and the Government commission reports that “grounds and buildings will be the most extensive, ad equate and ornate ever devoted to such pur poses.” It seems, however, that from five to eight millions of dollars more will be necessary to prepare the Exposition for complete and successful inauguration. It will be noticed from the reports that it was first proposed by the local commission to ask Congress for a loan of $5,000,000, to be paid from receipts, and that the National Commission appropriated this suggestion. Subsequently the Illinois Exposition Cor poration reconsidered its action and deter mined upon a subscription of $5,000,000. The supplementary report of the National Com mission seems to approve this amendment. “I have myself no detailed information of the finances of tho enterprise which would enable me to form an independent judg ment, and am not therefore prepared to make any specific recommendation to Con gress. The committees of Congress having this matter in charge will undoubtedly obtain ac curate information before action. The exposition, notwithstanding the limi tations which the act contains, is an enter prise to which the United States is so far committed that Congress ought not. I think, withhold just and reasonable further sup port of the local corporation consents to proper conditions. Liberality on the part of the United States is due to the foreign nations that have re sponded to tne invitation of this Government, and will I am sure, meet the approval of our people. The exposition will be one of the most illustrious incidents in our civic his tory. I transmit, also,certain resolutions adopted by the representatives of National Guards of various States, appointed by the Governor to attend a convention, which was held in Chicago, October 27, 1691, on the subject of of holding a military encampment at Chi cago during the exposition. (Signed.) Benjamin Harrison. Executive Mansion, February 24,1893. The report of the Columbian Commission mentioned in the President’s message is signed by President Palmer and dated Chi cago, November 25, 1801. The report says that most satisfactory advancement has been made in every department of the work, and the substantial results furnish the assurance that the work of preparation will be fully comoleted within the period contemplated by Congress, and that the exposition will be opened and conducted in a manner worthy of its national and international charaglfir and with a success which will Realize, if they shall not and -jlfmands it is said, is ex'ceptionally eligible and fully adequate to all demands. In no feat ure is the magnitude of the proposed exposi tion more clearly emphasized than in the character and capacity of the buildings, which will afford a much larger space for exhibition than any that have ever been hitherto erected. The fifteen departments, with one or two exceptions, are in active operation. It was determined to have the dedicatory ceremonies on October lltb, 12tb, 13th and 14th, 1892, and an official historian of the exposition was also provided for. The National Commission has reduced expendi tures so far as possible. Nevertheless it finds it impossible to keep its expeqditures within the limits of the appropriation of $59,500, but the aggregate expenses for the present fiscal year will be $80,000, so that there will necessarily be a deficit of no less than $20,000. Under date of February 16, 1S92, President Palmer, of the World’s Columbian Commis sion, writes to the President calling attention to a report submitted on November 25, 1891, reciting the action taken by the National Commission upon the proposition of the Ill inois corporation to apply to Congress for a loan of $5,000,000. An appeal to Congress for aid in a sum slightly m excess of one- fourth qf the total cost of the work, he says, would seem to be entitled to special consider ation. THE LABOR WORLD. Steel is supplanting iron. London (England) has 4000 letter carriers. Lowell (Mass.) spinners average $9 and $10 a week. English ship-builders are taking steps to break up the Seamen’s and Allied Unions. The Chester (111.) Penitentiary will soon have a pearl button and pearl jewelry de partment. The total number of employes in the Government postal and telegraph offices and on the Government railways is 187,771. It is said that an engineer on the Wabash Railroa i was paid $249 for his December services. The trainmen on the AVabash make big pay. In Australia no newspapers are published nor railroad trains run on the Sabbath. Tele graph offices are closed and all business is suspended. The railways of the United States pro vide a living for nearly 3,000,000 persons, or nearly one-twentieth of the population of our country. The manufacture of sleigh bells in the East has so diminished in recent years that it is only about one-tenth so important an industry as it was. Governor Brown, of Maryland, has ap pointed Dr. Allan B. Howard, Jr., of the editorial staff of the Baltimore American, to be Labor Statistician. Bctte Crrv, Montana, has so many idle men on its hands that the authorities are talking of putting up a new building where the unemployed can be fed and lodged. 0 here are 4000 female compositors in the Department of the Seine in France, and a school for teaching typesetting to girls has been opened in Algiers, French Africa. [Only one woman delegate was sent to the uernatioual Labor Congress at Brussels, ■gium, and she was from Poland. Oae of chief translators was Mrs. Max-Aveliog, London. JAt a libel trial held in Munich. Bavaria, le fact was revealed that an embroidery lanufacturer had in his employ women, ho, under the “sweating” system, received mly five cents per day. The report of the United States Census Bureau shows that “the average earnings of all persons employed at the gold and silver mines during the year 1869 were $725 a Year, while the average output per man amounted to $1723 a year.” Last .year the organized shoemakers of Attensen, near Hamburg, Germany, struck against being compelledd>o board with their bosses and the system was abolished. But the bosses have formed an organization since, and they now propose to compel the men to board with them again. Sixteen thousand more persons from the famine stricken districts of Russia have taken refuge in St. Petersburg and have been quarantined on various householders. DEDICATORY EXERCISES A Programme Approved for Openln] the World’s Fair. All of the boards of the exposition man agement have approved the programme of dedicatory ceremonies of the World’s Fair at Chicago, 111., for October 12 next, and un less some changes are made, which does not seem at all probable now, it will be as fol lows: 1.
