WORLD'S FAIR NOTES. World's Fair construction has cost ptighteen lives. World's Fair buildings will need 120,- 000 incandescent electric lights.

The Executive Committee of the local directory of the World's Fair held a meeting at which resolutions were adopted which practically mean a flat renunciation of Congressional control. The joint committee made a lengthy report on the recent act of Congress in structing the Secretary of the Treasury to withhold enough of the Columbia half dollars to secure the payment of $570, 880 for awards, which was amply dis cussed. The report says the committee would regard it as a direct and inexcus able violation of the pledges and coven ants with the bondholders to enter into the formal undertakings which the act of Congress require. The requirement of this act, says the committee, is a violation of the act of August 6, 1892, accepted by the directors. . FOREIGN CABLES. The Pope Trying to Break tne Drouth in Italy.
