WORLD'S FAIR NOTES.
Vermont Will Send to the Exposition an
UJd Exhibit in the Shape of the
Skeleton of a Whale.
. 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

ing active steps for the opening of the

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
