however, has not discovered whether the
IsMuance of this souvenir Is in accord

be sent to the secretary of the treasury
for Information. The commission also
has no especial fund to pay for this
Issue, and la In doubt as to the number
of coins to Issue, what metal to use
and how to distribute the coins after
they are Issued.
This last point causes the chief worry
to the commission. The management
of the St Louis exposition has written
President Jefferson Myers of the com
mission that the coins cannot be sold,
even If for only their cost price, on the
exposition grounds, unless a concession
