THOSE WORLD’S FAIR MEDALS.

Strange as It May Seem, Some of Them Have Been Distributed. The long-expected distribution of Columbian World’s Fair diplomas and medals has begun at last, and Monday about 3,000 diplomas and medals, covering all of the successful German exhibitors at the fair, were turned over to Baron Thielmann, the German ambassador, who will ■hip them immediately to his Government for distribution. Those awarded to American exhibitors will be ready for delivery within the next ten days or two weeks at the farthest, and the shipments to England, France, Russia, Spain, Italy and other foreign countries will be ready for delivery to their respective diplomatic representatives here within the next month.
