There is mu :h complaint among ex
hibitors over the dehy in awarding
World's Fair medals. As many of the
exhibitors expect to make the most of
their medals in an advertising way, thev
complain that tho great delay will rob
them of much ol the commercial advan
tage which they expected to reap in re
turn for the heavy expenso involved in
making t'ie World's Fair exhibit. The
design by St. Gaudcns for official medals
is here, hut the contracts for manufact
uring the medals has not yet Iwen award
ed, and it is still even uncertain whether
the work may not be done by the United
States mint. The plan of the Treasury
officials contemplates medals of elegant
w orkmanship that would require four or
live months, as it would necessitate
stamping some of them 400 or 500 times,
and it does not seem probable the work
will lie completed before next summer.
The blame is laid to the Committee of
Awards or to Designer St. Gaudens for
not furnishing the designs earlier.
Secretary Carlisle has received from
tho Commissioner of Immigration at
San Francisco a reK)rt, accompanied by
sworn testimony, nliout the landing in
San Francisco of twelve Russian con
victs, who escaped from confinement and
were picked up by passing vessels and
brought to this country. The men are
now under arrest in San Francisco, and
the question that complicates the situa
tion is w hat to do with them. While the
greatest secrecy is maintained at the de
partment atiout the contents of the offi
cial report, it is believed five Russians
were political prisoners, in which case it
is said our immigration laws do not in
terfere to debar them from landing. At
the same time the Rupsian Minister,
Prince Cantacnr.ene, has interested him
self in having them turned over to the
Russian authorities. The matter has
assumed such an important phase that
Secretary Carlisle has taken it into his
own bands and will confer with Secre
tary Grcsham on the fate of the Rus
sians. Sumner I. Kimball, general superin
tendent of the life-saving service, in his
annual report to Secretary Carlisle states
that at the close of the last fiscal year
the establishment embraced 244 stations.
The number of disasters to documented
vessels w ithin the tield of the operations
of the service during the year was 427.
There w ere on board these vessels 3,56o
persons, of whom twenty-three were lost.
The estimated value of the vessels in
cluded in tho disasters was $6,414,075,
and that of their cargoes $ 1,684.000. Of
this amount $6, 442. 605 was saved and
$1,055,570 lost. The number of vessels
totally lost was eight. The cost of the
maintenance of the service during the
year was $1,231,893.45. The general su
perintendent states that the fears ex
pressed in former reports of a threatened
decadence of the service, excited by the
frequent resignations of many of the
best snrfmen on account of the" meager
ness of their pay, have been dispelled
by the recent increase granted by Con
gress. Hiram Hitchcock, President of the
Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua,
has submitted to the Secretary of the
Interior the annual report of the com
pany, which wss not due until Decem
ber 1, but sent it at the request of the
Secretary, who desired to use some of
the data in his annual report. President
Hitchcock says that since the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Canal Con
struction Company little work has been
done. The Secretary was referred to the
last report as to the present condition of
work. Since organization $1,055,811 has
been paid into the treasury, all for stock
subscribed for at par except 48,871,
which came from other sources. There
was paid out forconstruction and admin
istrat ion expenses 830,788 in cash and
31.000 shares of stock, par value, which
are worth $3,190,000. The company is
obligated for $ 6.355,000 of its first-mortgage
bonds. It has issued 180.000 shares
of stock, par value $18,000,000, in pay
ment of concessionary rights, privileges,
franchises and other property.

A Bad Break.
Parson Whangdoodle Baxter of the
Thompson Street Blue Light tabernacle
made a pastoral call at the flat of Sam
Jobusing, the object of the visit being to
remonstrate with Jobnsing for eating pea
nuts during divine worship. Sam heard
his pastor's voice and hid behind a curtain,
while Mrs. .lohnsing received the pastor
and assured him that Sara had gone up tbe
Hudson on an excursion. Unfortunately
tbe curtain did not quite reach the floor,
and some large, generous feet protruded.
"So, you says dat Sam has done gone off
on a skurshon?" queried the dusky cleric.
"Yes, parson, and he specs ter be gone all
day," replied Mrs. Johnsing.
"Well, be so kind and tell Sam when he
gits back dat de nex' time he goes on a
skurshun he had better take his feet erlong
wid him," at the same time prodding Sam's
feet with his cane until he roared. Texas
