FAIR NOTES.
A congress of hankera from all narts
of tlie world will be World' Fair
ll" ia iU" Wttek ' Juno Wlh 40
25th.
The Duke of Voragua, when lie aaw
the Eaat river bridge, remarked : "It's
a pity Columbus ia not here to see it."
In the exhibit of hand-made laceasent
from Great Britain to Chicago is an
apron given by Queen Elizubeth to Lord
Fairfax,
The report of Director-General Davis
nhowa that a grand total of nearly fi,
500,000 have been raiaed for the World'a
Fair, excluaive of the coat and value of
the exhibits.
A general wail ia heard all over Mich
igan about the scarcity of hired girla,
due in a great part to their departure for
the World'a Fair, where bi waueH are
ollered them.
The Harmony Society of Beaver, Pa.,
anionic the II rut to operate a succcrwful
ailk industry in this country, haa sent to
tlie world'a Fair an exhibit of dress silks
manufactured sixty years ago.
The Chicniro Tribune estimates on the
present scale of prices that a temperate.
economical man can get along in that
city on IS a day. This will include
lodging, board, car fare and admission
to the exposition.
Tlie big Krutin gun, now at Chicago.
contains 10,000 pounds of wrought steel,
and it is tlie greatest implement of de
struction that the world has ever seen.
It hurls a mass of steel weighing 2,300
pounds sixteen miles.
'Are you busted?" is now the common
salutation of the World's Fair people
and visitors from tlie North went. Tlie
opening day hotel rates and restaurant
charges were more tiian doubled, and
great dissatisfaction prevails. G. V.
Calhoun, executive of the Washington
Commisnion, wired the following to the
KiKiknne Keview : " Would not advise
any one to visit the fair for the present.
Nothing ready; weather bad; everything
Confusion and insolence,"
When asked for an expression of opin
ion regarding his visit to the World'a
Fair President Cleveland replied : " We
received a very cordial welcome, and
everything that could be done was dona-
tor our comfort and measure. It was an
occasion I shall always remember with a
aense of genuine pleasure. I am much
gratified at the enterprise, skill and
taste displayed in the arrangement and
appearance of the buildings, and the re
sults so far attained bespeak to my mind
a great success for tlie World'a Fair."
From present Indications the music
trouble at the World'a Fair ia about to
become a scandal. Evidence was pro
duced at a recent meeting of the Na
tional CoinmiHHion which tends to show
that Musical Director Thomas, not satis
fied with using a contraband piano, ia
bent on boycotting pianos in his de
partment that are made by firms having
exhibits at the fair. The evidence wa
of such a forcible nature that the com-
misfion adopted a resolution directing
President Palmer to appoint a special
committee of six to investigate tlie mut
ter. The participation of the German Em
pire tn tlie inauguration oi tne oig lair
was an elaborate allair. At the moment
when President Cleveland touched the
button that set the machinery in motion
the chimea in tlie chapel of Germany'a
building were brought into action, their
siautiiul ana melodious tones lining the
air with a "glory hallelulia" in honor
of the event. The official ceremony
over, Commissioner Wermuth led the
1 'resident around the interior section of
the German exhibit in manufacturers'
hall. A reception by Commissioner Wer
muth and a luncheon with obligatory
toasts to tlie success of the exposition
and the exhibit of Germany were a suit-
aoie unaie oi una wormy commemora
tion day on tuo part ot Germany.
NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Representative Outhwaita of Ohio is
the iaust to verify the report that Con'
cress will convene In extra session in
September next. Outhwaite does not
take any stock in the statement that im
mediately after the appointment of the
House committees a recess will be taken
until the first of December. He said :
"It is my opinion that Congress will be
in continuous session, barring the usual
Christmas holidays, from September
until me louowing june.
It was learned at the State Depart
ment mat me reiusai 01 tne Kusstan
Consul in New York to vise the pass
port issued to Mrs. Sadie Scliwarta by the
State Department, on tlie ground that
she is a Jewess, ia in accordance with
the laws of Kussia. If Mrs. Schwartx
should make complaint to Secretary
Greshnm, she will, of a necessity, be in-
lormcu tnai ne can do nothing in the
matter, because the rules governing the
missnm consular ouicers prohibit them
from countersigning any paper intended
iur use 111 ivustua oy dews.
Tlie danger of an uprising in Corea
against thb Christian missionaries in
that country has passed. The news that
mobs of natives had threatened to ex
terminate tlie whites was received bvthe
Slate Department some weeks ago by
Ciihle. Protection from the United
States government was requested, and
accordingly the Navy Department sent
tho steamer Alert from Shanghai to
Corea, with orders to remain until af
fairs had assumed a peaceful nsnect.
Admiral Harmony cabled the depart
ment that the Alert arrived at her des
tination April 24. The other day an
other dispatch was received from him
stating tlie Alert had returned to Shang
hai, while nothineconeerning the con.
clitjon of atrairs was contained in the
dispatch, it is certain the Alert would
not have left Corea if any serious trouble
had existed.
The International Monetary Confer.
enee, which adjourned to reassemble in
Brussels the 80th inst., will not reas
semble an that dato. .The general feel
ing expressed Dy the representatives of
tlie loading powora is that the end of
May is not a suitable time for recom
mencing the labors of the conference,
and as a result a consultation was held be
tween the President, Secretary Gresham
mid some of the delegates of the United
States. It was determined to cable the
announcement that the reassembling of
the conference would be postponed until
some time in next November. Governor
McCreary of Kentucky, who, as well as
Senator Jones of Nevada, will con
tinue to serve upon the commis
sion, expresses much gratification at the
change of date, and believes it will in
crease the prospect of tlie conference ao
complishing some solid results.
