S« r.-rnl Million Dollar*.
WORLD'S FAIN KXTICA V.U{.\?,N W 1*4*1). 7. For t!ii*oc liours Friday afternoon and up to the time of final adjournnn'nt the National commission *»f flu1 world's fair was on trial liofon* th* Hotisc. Chairman Candler had ayain brought to the front his resolution sla^hiny salaries, junioriiiK" the direetor-^e^eral and limiting' the meetings of the National hoard and ladies' hoard.
Mr. Flower (X. Y.) said that the desire of the committee on the fpiailrieentennial was to maki.* the ronntrv understand that the eomniittee was in favoi* of economy in (Jovernmont expenditures connected with tho fair. He recited at length the condition of affairs found in Chicago hy tlu* Candlfrr coiumittee. It found a larye numher of committees, each with its own powers, each organized on an e\travi»ant basis. It found that there were two National commissions, one of 11"» men and tho other of 115 women. It was ill" tmiversal sentiment of l'hie :fonns -prominently connected with the management of the fair that if the National commissioners1 expenses went, an as they had begun there would be but little left of the Government appropriation for legitimate uses. He said in justice to tlu* success of the great enterprise, in justice to the men in Chicago who had raised S!0.000t000 for it, this extravagance ought to stop, and so the committee had unanimously agreed to oppose any appropriation that would provide means for a continuance of such extravagance. ]\lr. Wilson (W. Va.) questioned the efficiency of the National commission in the expenditure of (Government money and criticised the salaries paid to the officials. Tin* total amount of the salary list was §08,450, and under the authority given the commission to increase the number of appointees as the fair grew the salaries would swell until they swamped the Government appropriation. The report of the world's fail* committee was that these salaries should be cut down. If the United States assumed to run the commission by paying its own 'Commissioners it would he morally bound to make up any deficiency that might occur.
Mr. ISreckinridge (Ivy.) defended the action of the committee on appropriations in reporting the paragraphs providing for the expenses of the commission. It was the duty of Congress to make the fair a success, not a failure, and he, as a member of the committee on appropriations, had felt it to be his duty to concur in the recommendation of the appropriations which hod been made.
Mr. Taylor (III.) said that what Chicago wished was-to be let alone. This was not a Chicago fair, not an Illinois fair it was an international fair but gentlemen did not seem to understand that this was a fair to commemorate the discovery of America. It would be a disgrace to the Nation after inviting foreigners to come to the exposition to turn those foreigners over to a local board. They should be met by men appointed by the Government and acting for the Government. The Government should stand by its act.
Mr. JJntterworth (O.. in opposition to the substitute, said that the United States was committed to the world to ascertain thing. 110 matter through what instrumentality. The faith of the country was pledged. The fair would result in advantage to Chicago, but it would also result in the glory of this Republic. It was not a local fair or a State fair: it was a National fair in the* proudest and best sense. The centennial exposition had been of the greatest br«nelU to the country. Mr. Butterw. rth sptke of the unexampled work Chicago had done in raising £11.000.000. No citv in 1 lie world had done such a thing before. It represented $10 for every human being in Chicago. Chicago, deeply anxious for the success of the fair, had gone lar beyond reasonable efforts. She n«d agents in Japan, in South America and all over tin.* world aidiug and making the fair a success. In glowing terms he described what the fair would accomplish as an educational factor and as showing the advance of centuries, lie insisted that the Candler committee report was largely criticism of trouble that had passed. The cogs had not moved smoothly at first, but now white-winged peace had settled down and there was harmony and a single purpose, lie defended the ladies' board, or. as he styled it, the women's board, for he disliked the word ladies as tin-American. He referred to the president of that board as a woman who would grace any court in the Old World.
This closed the speech-making, and Mr. Candler thereupon formally insisted for a vote on his amendment. Mr. Mason, of Chicago, made the point of order that the Candler amendment was not in order, as it was contrary to the rule providing that an appropriation bill could not be amended so as to change existing law.
Without arguing the point the llouse adjourned. WILL SPEND MILLIONS.

LINCOI.N, Neb., Feb. 7.—Representative hall was well tilled Friday morning and the galleries were overflowing with those anxious to hear the new Governor's inaugural address. The message was listened to with respectful attention. Governor lloyd counseled wisdom, patriptism. economy and fairness in the Work of the. Legislative body, and pledged his hearty support to any legislation in that line. He advised against any reduction of the interest rate on account of the fact that this was a new State and in need of capital to aid in its de velopment. but urged radical legislation against usury. He strongly advocated a reform in the system of voting, founded on the so-called Australian ballot system, advising against the enactment of sumptuary laws, and advised the Legislature to take the people at their word in the late defeat of the prohibitory amendment. lie discussed 1 hi' railroad question at some length, and presented the great need of regulation of the rate question so that cheaper rates might be secured. but rather advised against a maximum rate law. and thought that a railroad commission eleetcd by the people could handle the question better. 11c recommended a liberal appropriation for the Columbian exposition at Chicago, lb' suggested Hint ('residential electors be elected, two at. large, and the others by 11:j ivssi. nal districts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—In the Senate a resolution was presented by Senator lliiwley (Conn.) requesting the President to furnish all correspondence and papers relative to Commander Keiter's conduct at San Jose de (iuatcinalain connection with the killing of (ieneral Harrundia and his action on this occasion.
The Senate resumed the consideration of the House bill for the adjustment of accounts of laborers, workmen and mechanics arising under the eighthour law, and was addressed by Senator Morrill (Vt.) in opposition to it. Senator Stewart (New) argued in favor of the bill.
The amendment reported from the committee on education and labor was read. It strikes out of the House bill the proviso that it shall be operative •whenever the Court of Claims shall find that the. work or sen-ice was performed under any contract, express or implied, and the workman has been paid therefor the amount agreed upon.
Senator Sherman (O.) said that he would vote for the bill as it passed the House. He considered it an excellent bill, recognizing as it did the general principle that eight hours wi»re a fair day's labor, but not denying the right of men to work more hours if they chose.
Senator Vest (Mo.) moved to amend by inserting the words "without duress or coercion of any sort by any otlicer of the Government."
Senator l'.lair (N. II.) opposed the amendment'^ad suggested the substitution of the words "undue inlluence."
Senator Teller (Col. spoke in favor of^he principle of the bill and opposed Seniitor Vest's amendment because it could not be shown that, the men had worked under duress or coercion.
Senator Ingalls (Kan.) inquired whether any estimate had been mad$.a of the amount involved in the bill.
Senator I'ockrell (.Mo.) said that an estimate miule bv a distinguished member of the House of Representatives gave the amount a'. $:)().DOO.OOO. Senator Vest said that Senator Morrill had given his estimate at -1s,(l0i).000, and that Secretary Whitney bad said that for the Navy Department alone the amount would be Si.UUU.UOO. He knew that it was not a pleasant duty to oppose what was called a labor bill. It was not a popular thing, considering the present condition of the country, but whenever tin time came that, legislators were to give up their judgment on account of any consideration of popular favor, that would be the end of the
Government anil the end of sound legislation. He was not prepared to coiuc to it.
Senator Ueagan (Tex.) complained that the Senate was absolutely without information as to the amount involved in the bill. The Senate was asked to pass an act blindly without even an attempt having been made to ascertain what the liabilities of the Government would bo under it. As to the talk ofduress.it was his impression that the Congress itself was habitually under duress— was habitually coerced by classes to do things that honest conscience forbade to be done.
Senator Ingalls characterized the bill as a paltry, quibbling evasion of the real question at issue.
By unanimous consent Senator Blair withdrew the committee amendment and offered as a substitute for the House bill the one passed by tho Senate last Congress. It direets payment of a day's pay for every eight hours' work of Government employes since .Tune is08 when the eiirht-lioi"-

Senator llawes (Mass.) moved a substitute for that offered by Senator lilair. It directs the profier accounting otlieers of the Treasury to readjust the accounts of Government workmen on the basis of eight hours for a day's work and appropriates the amount necessary for their payment.
It was agreed that the bill should be voted on to-day. Senator Dawes modified his amendment by striking out the appropriation and instructing the accounting otlieer of the. Treasury to readjust the claims and report the result to Congress. Adjourned.
