WORLD'S FAIR NOTES.
In the Oregon display Is an exhibit
that attracts much attention. It in
cludes a working model of a gold placer
mining outfit. A large amount of gold
bearing dirt is at hand for demonstrat
ing the whole process of panning out the
gold, and at stated intervals the plant is
put into operation. This exhibit is not
surrounded with glass, and it is an amus
ing sight to see people hunting over the
sand and dirt for particles or appear
ances of gold. i
Near the north end of the forestry
building are shown cross sections of trees
from Oregon. There is a yellow fir log
six feet in diameter. The yellow fir
grows all over the Northwest Coast
Range Mountains. It is of superior ex
cellence for ship-building and spars. It
ranges from two to ten feet in diameter.
A cross section of a trunk of tide-land
spruce is shown. It is nine feet nine
inches in diameter. The butt was six
teen feet in diameter, the tree being 305
feet high and 300 years old. Great slabs
of noble fir, spruce, lovely fir and yellow
fir are shown.
Baron de Maraja, Commissioner from
Brazil, and 8. Suwa, Secretary of the Jap
anese Commission, have through O. 8.
Whitmore, editor of Hardwood, offered
forestry exhibits at the World's Fair to
to the city of Chicago for a permanent
museum. Said Mr. Whitmore the other
night: " Both the collections are com
plete and large, the former being one of
the largest in the forestry building. Mr.
Suwa's is large and exceptionally well
arranged and perfectly classified. Dr.
Niederlein, Commissioner from the Ar
gentine Republic, and Dr. Hassler, Com
missioner from Paraguay, both have
splendid collections, which they have
given me to understand they would pre
sent to the city if they could be assured
they would be appreciated and cared for
as they deserve. No such collection of
forest products has ever before been
shown as is now in this exhibit, either
from domestic or foreign sources. I have
discussed the matter with others among
foreign exhibitors, and am satisfied the
bulk of the foreign exhibits can be se
cured by the city. American exhibiters
also are prepared to make handsome do
nations. I think the Jessop collection
can be secured and some other private
collections. Dr. Charles Millspaugh, the
botanist who has charge of the West Vir
ginia collection, intimates that a large
part of that exhibit can be secured. It
is one of the finest shown, is complete
and thoroughly classified. Kentucky,
Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michi
gan, Washington, Missouri and others
have complete, well-arranged and well
classified exhibits which they would
gladly donate in whole or in part."
NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Senator Dolph has introduced a reso
lution calling lor a report from the War
Department of the Board of Engineers
which examined the proposed improve
ments at The Da1 lea. Senator Dolph
thinks this ought to be before Congress
so that early action may be had by the
Oregon delegation.
A brief prepared by Judge Advocate
General Lemly of the navy on the re
port of the court of inquiry that exam
ined into the disgraceful condition of the
cruiser Atlanta has been presented to
Secretary Herbert for his consideration.
It is said the brief contains evidence ad
ditional to that given in the report, and
a court-martial of the officers connected
with the vessel will be ordered by Mr.
Herbert.
All the members of the administration
took the greatest interest in the vote on
the Wilson bill; Secretary Carlisle espe
cially so. He received in his office in
the Treasury Department official an
nouncement of the several votes as soon
as thev were flashed across the wires.
When the first vote was received, which
showed that free coinage at a ratio of 16
to 1 was beaten by 102 majority, ho said
the majority was greater than he had
anticipated, and that he would have
been satisfied with sixty majority. At
the conclusion of all the votes Secretary
Carlisle stated that he was very much
gratified at the result and felt that it
would do much to restore public confi
dence. He expressed tho hope that the
Senate would take speedy action on the
silver question. The Secretary added
that the present stringency was not due
to want of money, but to hoarding it
and withdrawing it from business on ac
count of this lack of confidence.
It has been decided impracticable to
let the tariff question go over to the reg
ular session by adjourning Congress as
soon as the silver question is settled ; so
work on the tariff bill will soon begin.
Chairman Wilson of the Ways and
Means Committee hopes to have the bill
ready for consideration by the House by
November. Another urgent question
may have to be considered before this.
The monetary stringency has caused such
a falling off in receipts from internal
revenue, customs and other sourc 8 that
the dailv receipts of the government are
now falling $300,000 short of the com
pulsory expenditures for pensions and
the ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment. Already there is a deficiency of
$10,000,000 to $11,000,000 in eight. The
situation cannot be met by economy, as
these expenses are obligatory under the
law. The alternatives before Congress
to meet the situation are limited to three
a new issue of government bonds, an
income tax or some such new impost, or
an increase of the rate in some of the
existing forms of taxation.
Secretary Carlisle has ordered that the
United States mints at Philadelphia and
8an Francisco be fully manned and the
full capacity of both mints utilized in
coining gold bullion. The Treasury De
partment possesses from $80,000,000 to
$90,000,000 in gold bnllion, which is part
of the gold reserve of $100,000,000. Gold
bars cannot be used as currency; so it
has been decided in the present need to
coin the bullion on hand. The bullion
will be coined into $10, $5 and $2 gold
pieces, preference being given to the
first two denominations. The coining
capacity of the Philadelphia mint, it is
stated, will be between $5,000,000 and
$6,000,000 per month. The San Fran
cisco mil twin also be utilized, but fortu
nately nearly all bullion possessed by the
government is in the East. There is
$20,000,000 of gold bullion in the Phila
delphia mint, $15,000,009 of it being in
one vault, whore it has remained un
touched for fifteen years. Acting Di
rector Preston visited" Philadelphia tho
other day, and completed arrangements
with superintendent Bosbysbell to begin
work at once. The Treasury is now pav
ing out gold coin all over the country,
and aa a consequence stands more In
need of gum com than Heretofore.
