WASMI.VOTOS. March 81.—•Thursday was notable in the diplomatic history of the government because of the up. pointnient of the first ambassador from the Lnitcd .States t.o a foreign post sini'o continental days. Hitherto, though empowered to appoint ambassadors under section two of the constitution, every president has co.ifincd himself to the lower rank of ministers, but the last congress provided that whenever any foreign nation raised the runic of its representatives at Washington to that of am bassador the president should recognize the eunrlesy by a similar appointment. Croat Britain was the first, to promote, its minister at Washington, Sir Julian 1'aunce-

fote, to the runic of tunbassador, ami Franco and (:»ermanv have promptly followed. Thursday President Cleveland appointed the first ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, lion. Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware. Mr. Bayard's nominal ion caused considerable surprise. It had been stated frequently of lale that Mr. Cleveland did not propose to make any change for the. present, al least, either at London,, or at Vienna, and that both Messrs. Lincoln and Grant would be permitted to remain for some time. The appointment is regarded in Washington with general satisfaction. Mr. Bayard being: an ex-senator was immediately confirmed by the senate at its executive session without the formality of a reference to committee. It is felt that Mr. Bayard is specially equipped for service at the court of SL James. The question now before the foreign office at Loudon involving our rights in Behring sea and the Canadian fisheries are familiar in all of their details to Mr. Bayard.

He took his seat March 4, lB»9, and being reelected in. January, 1S75, and again in I SSL served continuously until' he became Mr. Cleveland's secretary of state in 1885.' On the day on which he was elected to the senate lor a full term his fu.t!:cr was also elected a senator from Delaware to serve for the unexpired part of his original term. This is the only case of a father and son being voted for by the same legislature to fill the senatorial oftice In the senate he served on the committee on finance. judio:ary, private land claims, libra ry and revision of laws. In October. 1881, he was elected president pro tempore of the senate.
He was a member of the electoral commission ol ISTtVt and a conspicuous upholder in conpress of democratic doctrines and state rights and was voted for in national convention as a candidate Tor the presidency in 1880 and again in W

When the vote of the chamber was announced Premier Ribot adjourned the session until'.) o'clock p. m. in order to give iiitn and his fellow ministers time to consider their position and whether they should regard the vote of the. chamber as a sign of want of confidence in the ministry.
After a lengthy consultation in a committee room the ministers proceeded to the Klysee and tendered their resignations to President Curnot. The president had a long interview with the members of the cabinet and urged them to reconsider their determination. llis arguments were in vain, however, and the ministers insisted that their resignations must be accepted.

The president had taken §02,000 from a French bank. The president's sudden descent upon the bank was the outcome of a legal 'iiiit between him and some of the French residents, involving the payment of money. The ease was sent to a higher, court for judgment, but this was delayed too long to suit the president. So lie ordered out his militia, with instructions to seize whatever French gold they could find. The soldiers proceeded to the bank March 14, bore down the doors, blew open the vaults, and carried off £02,000 in cash. The French commauder on the cruiser was appraised of the outrage and sent an armed force ashore, who captured the president as he was about to proceed to Monte Cristo.

OOI.rMBiAN EXPOSITION. CHI
CAGO, March :V), ISO:]---To the Public Bceauso of many misrepresentations and'misstaieinenis relative to exposition management and affairs being in circulation through the press and otherwise, both in this country and abroad, and in reply to many letters of inquiry or complaint touching the same matters, it seems advisable that some, oftk-ial statement regarding them should be made to the public. Therefore 1 respecttully ask that the widest publicity be given lo the following facts ••1. The exposition will be opened in readiness for visitors May 1.
An abundance of drinking water, the best supplied to any great city in the world, will be provided free to alL The report that a charge would be made for drinking water probably
arose from UH: fact that liygeia water can also
be had by those who may desire it at one cent a glass. "3. Ample provisions for seating will be made without charge. "4. About 1,500 toilet rooms and closets will be located at convenient points in the buildings and about the grounds and they will be absolutely free to the public. This is as large a number in proportion to the estimated attendance as has e\cr been provided in any exposi-| lion. In audition to these tbere will also be nearly an equal nunber of lavatories and toilet rooms ol costly and handsome character as exhibits, for Die use of which a charge of live cents will be made. I '•5. The admission fee of flfiy cents will on* lille the visitor lo see and enter all the exposi" Hon buildings, in-qvet the exhibits, and, in short, to see everything within the. exposition grounds, excepl the lisquimuu village and ,ihe. reproduction of the Colorado clitf dwellings. For these as well as for the special attractions on Midway plaisance a small feu will be charged. "6. Imposition or extortion or any description will not be tolerated. "7. Free medical and emergency hospital service is provided on the grounds by the exposition management, '•s. The bureau of public comfort will provide commodious Iree \vaitlug-rooMs. including spacious ladies' parlor and toilet-rooms, in various oarts of the grounds. "II. N. HIGINHOTHAM. President."
indorsed by tho IHreetor General* Director General Davis has indorsed all that the statement conveys. lie did not sign it because of the fact that the exposition management is responsible for the granting of concessions over which the error has arisen.
To make it plain, there are in Jackson park proper about 500 acres on which arc buildings. Eighty acres of this space is devoted to state buildings, in which will be the headquarters of the world's fair commissioners of the various states of the union. No charge, of course, will be made to them. The 400 acres on which stand the buildings that have cost the exposition company nearly 818,000,000, including the preparation of the ground, constitute the exposition. It is in these structures that exhibits from almost every nation on earth will be installed and they are the world's fair.
Private Kntcrpriwes,
lint the. World's Columbian exposition promised to be such a great affair from the time of its inception that there were attracted to it numerous private enterprises which in themselves are of a costly and almost magnificent character. They are known as concessions, and with two exceptions they have been located on the, Midway plaisance, a strip of land 1 mile long and about 000 feet wide. It, runs directly %vcst from the north end of .lackson park. While it is a portion of the exposition grounds it is devoted wholly to side exhibitions. Still the visitor may pass through this strip of land withont cost and see the beautiful buildings which have been erected as characteristic of half a score of foreign nations. One of these is the German village, on which may be expended over £-200,000. The visitor may sec the character of the architecture, but if he chooses to go inside and witness some of the entertainments he 'will be obliged to pay a fee as would any one who should come to Chicago and care to attend its places of amusement. The I .abbey Glass company of Toledo, ()., has erected a complete glass manufacturing plant at an expense of 8100,000. The visitor will not be charged for entering the factory and observing the methods of glass-making. It is only in ease he desires to purchase something that lc will be obliged to resort to his poeketbook.
May Drill It l*ure Water.
President Iliginbotham in his statement might have been more specincon a number of facts. The drinking water which will be supplied free is to be either filtered or sterilized. The process of sterilization is accomplished by boiling the water. This has been done for months at the grounds to supply the laborers and others engaged at work there. Months ago the exposition company made a contract for something less than S.000 drinking fountains. These fountains have each four faucets, so that 12,000 people may drink at the same time. These fountains will be distributed all over the ground, and, as has been indicated, the water will be either filtered or sterilized. The llygeia company is merely a side issue in dispensing water. It was permitted to build a great, many booths about the ground simply for the accommodation of those who wish to drink mineral spring
vva'-v rather than that from Lake Michigan. The 1,500 free toilet roomsand closets will be immediately contiguous to thosa for which a fee of five cents is

in the public prints. The burden of them has been that wherever a visitor to the fair would turn he would be obliged to pay a fee. it has even been stated that nothing could be enjoyed ticable because every person having at Jackson park without cost except air. In view of the general publicity and wide misapprehension of the facts President Iliginbotham has issued the following:
