Li" - rWteklv Circular Letter-No. 7.) The work of preparation for the Ex position has now reached a point where the aesthetic ideas of the management are beginning to bear fruit. All the main buildings are practically finished, o far at the details of construction are concerned, and now comes the matter of decoration. Charles Graham, the well-known artist better known, per haps, in the Eo.it than in California on the Harpers, and more recently with the Columbian Exposition has been ap pointed as director of color for the Mid winter Exposition, and to him falls the duty of superintending the decoration of the Exposition buildings. There has been made no effort in this connection to pattern after the Columbian Exposi tion. The term "White City" will never be appropriately applied to this Exposition. Mr. Graham's idea baa been to let delicate tints predominate, and to so distribute and arrange these that the peculiar atmospheric effects of the California climate shall be utilised to enhance their harmony and increase their beauty. Warm tones are not par ticularly necessary in the decoration of any group of buildings in this glorious clim.it of California, and the darkness of background afforded by the almost black foliage is a magnificent setting for the delicate tints which are to pre vail. Borne excellent effects have already been partially produced on the main buildings, although none of them are yet to be seen in the fullness of perfec tion. Thpre will hit a imut deal nf flrnld in the scheme of color, although not enough of it to give the architectural tne llame of the -Golden Citv. The iomm of Admim8tration tai,J.

The ornamentation of the ..grand central conrt is also receiving a great deal of attention just now. The elec trical fountain is being installed in one tcnlprnre will soon be ready to be put in position. The electric tower has reached a third of its height, and two more weeks will tee it completed. Eight or ten inches of rich loam has been spread over the entire surface of the grand plaza, and on it will be sown the seed of the flowers and foliage which are to make this the nKSt beau tiful spot in all the beautiful Golden Gate Park. There has already been tranirplanted to this grand paraUaio (ram a large .lumber of bamboo plants and date palms that have been artisti cally distributed, and nave made a favorable impression on the public, which warrants the assertion that the picture to be presented within the lines of the court, around which the main buildings are situated, will be one of surpassing loveliness. The Venetian masts, several hundred in number, which are to stand like a line of sol diery around this court, are already in position. These are to bear the flags of all nations by day, and electric arc lights at night; and between them the snn will shine upon long lines of parti-colored streamers, while the darkness of each succeeding night will be relieved by long lines of incandescent light and fancy buttons in the development of the carnival effects which have been contemplated in this connection. The work on the concessional build ings is proceeding satisfactorily. The exposition will be nearer ready on open ing day than has been the case of any large exposition in the history of the world. Tb management of the Expo sition are to le particularly congratu lated on the fact that in the erection of the 7(1 odd structures within the Expo sition grounds, on which there has been an aggregate expenditure of nearly $1,000,00(1, there has, thus far, occurred so labor trouble, no accidents, and sot even an alarm of fire. The programme for opening day has sot yet been completed, but the cere monies will be of a character to war rant the nnbottling of all the enthusi asm which Ban Francisco and the ad joining cities and towns have been get- ing np for this occasion. It took the business men of ban Francisco a long while to wake np to the importance of this Exposition, but there is no longer any room for criticism on this score, and it is safe to say that when opening day shall arrive the city will be more gaily decorated and its inhabitants will tnrn out more universally than on any other occasion that has marked the his tory of California. A feature of the Exposition which has now been fully developed ia that which is to include the display of citrus fruit from different parts of the state. There are in the state two citrus fair associa tions tliat of Southern California and that of the Northern citrus counties. Both these fain will be held this year Eastem people to know that these grand dkplayB of oranges and lemons are inndt in the months of January aud February. The niiiungeinent of the state citrus t.'.ir northern district has just announced its dates to be from Jau, 16 to Feb. 15, and thut of Southern California will be on at the same time. In addition to these citrus displays Fresno county has completed arrange ments to erect a model of her court house to be constructed of oranges and raisins, so thut Eastern visitors will see more wonderful displays of the golden fruit than has ever been aud else where. FKOM WASHINK'lUN .I1ITY. Information has reached the 'lYcnxnrv Department from the Appraiser of Jler rhandise at the liort of Chicago that the transportation companies have failed to take away rapidly the portion ot mer chandise at the World's Fair intended for exportation : conseiiuentlv them are now at least 20,000 packages lying in the buildings, which cannot be removed bv December ill. The Collector has accord ingly asked that the time be extended for holding the buildings as a construct ive bonded warehouse, and the exposi tion officials have agreed to nrovide suit- able police supervision for the customs interests during the period over which tne customs control shall tie maintained In consideration of these facts the Treaa. ury Department has instructed the Col lector to continue in control of the goods referred to until further instructions are given him. It is said this condition is the result of bad faith on the part of the railroad companies, who promised to re turn the goods to the seaboard free if the railroad charges were paid one wav. Now n,a r.:. :.. .i: . io wra mxv are uiuiuerent to the matter, and are using their own convenience and giving other freight preference. A subject which will receive some con sideration at the hands of theCommittee on Appropriations of the House at this session ot congress is embodied in a bill introduced by sayres, its Chairman, en titled "a bill to repeal certain laws re lating to permanentand indetinlteappro priations." Bills havimr this oliiect in view have appeared perennially during ine pwsi ten years, dui tor various rea sons have failed of enactment. The ob ject of recalling these permanent annro priations and havingCongress pass upon matters covered by them each year in that it will conduce to a more thoroiiuh and careful examination of the items of appropriation than are obtainable under the present svstem bv which accounts are audited and passed upon by account ing omcers, and where no opportunity is leu lor scrutiny oy tne congressional committee. At the same time objection is made airainst the cliamree nrorjosed bv the bill because of the injustice that would result to claimants entitled to the amounts paid them under the present avatum vritlmilt M-nn.u a gressional legislation. The hill now be fore the committee excludes from its provisions the various laws therein spec ified, including the sinking fund and other appropriations under which amounts to nianv million dollars, roiiidi ly estimated at about one-third of the total permanent appropriations, The total annual permanent appropriations for the fiscal year 1HIH were l Ki.444.li80, and it is estimated for 18U5 at $101,074, 680. The committee has referred the bill to Hecretary Carlisle for his views on the cliangea proposed, and accounting officers of the department will be asked to submit their opinions before anv rec ommendation is made in the matter by uie necreiarv. The air of mvsterv assumed bv tle senate Committee on foreign Relations in its Hawaiian investigation gives the impression that Morgan's resolution, under which the inquiry is held, is merely a cloak for a much more impor tant inquiry than any as to the alleged irregularity ol our diplomatic relations with those islands. There is reason for believing that while presumably the present quest is for information hearimr upon the conduct of Stevens and Blount there will be an effort at the same time to obtain any Information which will in the first place prove the capability of the islands for self-government, and in the second the desirability or otherwise of annexing these islands at tome time in the future. It is understood perfectly by members of the committee wliomight have these in view that there is no hone of annexing the islands under the pres ent administration, but those who favor this disposition of the little kingdom do not intend to be swerved from their pur pose by the fact that one administration is opposed to this course. Senator Mor gan, Chairman of the committee, has been scrupulously careful about ex press ing opinions upon the Hawaiian ohm- tion, or manifesting a disposition to do or say anything which would appear extra-judicial, but he is known to be a firm believer in the wisdom of attaching the islands to this country as a part of it, just as Alaska is at present attached. and the fact that he has very recently introduced a bill in thetienate providing a form of government for any acquired territory lenus piausiuinty to the sup position that he is lookimr forward to possibilities far beyond anything in cluded in the resolution unduiiivhich the committee is authorized to conduct the present hearing. As a plausible ex planation of the origin of the bill, and without some end like the acquisition of Hawaii, it is difficult to find anv reason for its ex istence. Those who know Mor gan best say he is not the man to attempt to secure legislation that would fit a sup position. It would appear that when tl.L immmiHao Mnnria ,t .ll fn ...
