For the Idaho World's Fair building in a block of atone 10x6 feet will ha carved the coat of arms of the State of ioano and in other blocks the name of tue utate. Vermont will send to the World's Fair an odd exhibit in the shape of the skel eton of an enormous whale, which was lound several years ago near Lake Cham' plain, ninety feet above the sea level. The first exhibit at the World's Fair grounds is an immense redwood tree, which was cut by the Tingo River Lum ber Company near San Gabriel, Fresno county, Cal. The sections are being piaceo m oraer in tue government build ing. The coinage force of the United States mint has been divided into two shifts. and the work of coining the souvenir half uouars, aonatea oy uongress to the World's Fair, will go on night and day without intermission. About 30,000 coins can be turned out every twenty four hours. The total number to be coined is 6,000,000. President Higinbotham of the World's fair nas addressed a strong and com prehensive letter to each of the Con gressmen, outlining the position of the directory on the question of Sunday opening. He offers evidence to show that a majority of the people of the United States are opposed to closing the exposition gates eunaays. For the construction of the Washing ton building at the World's Fair, beside the logs and stones, it require 658,735 feet of lumber; of this number 378,894 feet have been sent to Chicago, leaving a balance to be sent of 179.841 feet. Some of the lumber promised from the several firms in the State has not been forward ed. The required 205,000 laths and half of the 357,000 shingles donated by the Bningiemaxers' Association nave been shipped. The stone for the arches and lintels is on the ground, so that the ma terial nas been fairly up in quantity, sufficient to meet the demands of the contractor. Mavor Washbarne of Chicaeo la tak. ing active steps for the opening of the World's Fair on Sunday. The Mayor sent a message to the Council declaring the people to be most benefited by the lair are tnose wno are unable to entov the luxurv of travel and thoee who lit erally earn their bread by the sweat of their brows. Sunday closing would de prive these people of their chief oppor tunity to see the fair. Furthermore, Chicago must next year extend hospi tality to thousands of foreigners, and on this account alone it would be admissible to open the fair Sundays. The Mayor stated that the great majority of the peo ple are in f tvor of an open Sunday, and asked the Council to prepare an official address to Congress on the subject. The suggestion was heartily indorsed, and the committee appointed. NATIONAL CAPITAL. President Harrison in His Message to Congress Won't Turn His Back Upon High Protection. Senator Dal oh has filed with the War Department a letter in relation to the appointment of a board to exanrne and report a site for a gun factory on the Pa cific Coast. He requests that care be taken in toe selection ol tne officers, that they may not be prejudiced in favor of one sight as against another. This precation, he say, is particularly neces sary, because some officers have privately expressed their belief thatBeniciais th proper location. More than usual interest attache to the forthcoming annual report of the Commissioner of Pensions. The state ment has been made that the amount required for pensions the next fiscal year will nearly reach the enormous sum of $200,000,000. The work of compiling figures is, however, sufficiently advanced to show this estimate ia in excess of the actual requirements. It is now thought Congress will be asked to make an ap propriation of about $180,000,000 for the coming fiscal year, about $18,000,000 of which is in anticipation of an increase of that amount over the actual expendi tures of last year. It is the judgment of General Raum that, while this amount is likely to be increased the next year or two, yet he feels confident the maximum limit has already been reached. President Harrison in his message to Congress will not turn his back upon the present Republican tariff law. On the contrary, he will give it an earnest indorsement. The President said he did not blame the McKinley tariff law for the recent defeat at the polls, and after having given it his indorsement prior to a teat of Republican principles at the polls he was not inclined to repudiate it In the hour of adversity. The President believes that the Republican principles of protection will live longer and stand the various tests of time with better suc cess than will the present Democratic supremacy. There Las been consider able curiosity expressed in certain quarters as to what the President would eay in his message to Congress, which l.A la now mmnl Atinfr. in rAfarAneA fn th ...IA? I.. m.nn D.nnklln... ... !.. I elined to bold it almost wholly responsi ble for the recent defeat. There need be no doubt in that direction. President Harrison believes in protection of the character now afforded by the Repub lican party. Word has reached Washington from Philadelphia that the Chinese in that city propose to try to defeat the Geary law by means of fictitious photographs, the same as at Baltimore. It is believed in Philadelphia and Baltimore that a scheme is now on foot among the Chi nese all over the country to defeat the purposes of the Chinese exclusion act. The promoter of it is the Hip Sin Tong, a powerful fraternal society, which has six branches Junk, Lee, Chang, Shu, Young and Mock embracing every State in the Union. The Hip Sin Tong is hav ing photographs turned out by the thou sands to supply any Chinaman who may need one. The colony in Washington has been notified that a batch of pict ures would be sent to them in a few days, from which they can select as many a they wish and return the balance. Pho tographs are being sent all over the coun try, and in a few weeks each colony will scribed his invention of an electric rail have snongh on tap to meet any demand way, calling into use a loco-motor which that might be made upon them. It it , will travel 123 mile an hour. The reported that the Chinese are trying to ; buildlmr of a railway of this description secure the service of Robert G.
