DCS MOINES , March 11. ( Special Tele gram. ) Oil was poured on Ibe troubled waters In the senate this morning and the ndlcatlons are brighter than ever for < l.e mmedlato and substantial progress on the > oardof control bill. After a week of debate hu ways and means committee was again sustained today by the defeat of the Lewis amendment. The vote had hardly been an nounced when Chairman Funk of the ways and means committee took the floor and an nounced that ho wished to present a sub stitute. Ho explained that the pro\llon for a statutory confirmation committee had called forth > ery harsh criticism. It had > een alleged there was political Intrigue con nected with 't. ' For the committee he wished to say that It should not be taken as Indi cting luck of confidence In the gtncrnor , > ut merely In keeping with the conservathe spirit of the bill. Howo\er , despite the fact that the committee had been sustained sev eral times by handsome majorities , and was unalterably of the opinion the pro\lslon vns wliv , It had , In the Interests of har mony , decided to offer an amendment. The amendment ( lorn away with the statutory committee and provides for the appointment of a committee of five without motion. The amendment Is entirely aceptable to the op- > osltlon and Its presentation has already lu ll touted the legislative machinery not a title. The senate met In the afternoon nnd made good progtccs. The bitterness of last week iis entirely disappeared , the olive blanch las been extended and there Is reason to be- Icie the bill will bo ready for the house by the middle or latter part of nett week. The house republicans caucused this aft ernoon relative to action on the manufac- urlng bill now before the lower chamber. The matter was discussed quietly at considerable length , but no action was taken. The general sentiment of the caucus was the party should not attempt to bind members on the measure. It Is believed there Is no demander or additional legislation along this line and hat It would be exceptionally bad politics o become InvoheJ In the matter. 10 WV LUfUSIvYTimU MIOIJM ) ACT. \o Hcnxon for I'urllior Drlny of Ex- lion ! t Ion Appropriation. Ucs Molnes Leader. Before the close of the present week the towa legislature should determine what amount , If any , Is to bo expended for the proper representation of Iowa at the great expoJltlon whoso gates are to swing open at Omaha on Juno 1. Further delay Is not only needless , but fatal. But a little more than two mcntha romdln during which tc erect a building and carry on the work o ( gathering the exhibits , and every day ol postponement means cither additional ex pense or a less rejunii for the money ex pended. The Tmnsmlsslsslppl Exposition lane no longer In an experimental stage. It Is an assuted success The beautiful buildIngs - Ings , which rival In their sumptuousncss those at Jackson park It ) 1S93 , are approachIng - Ing completion. It Is now certain that the exposition will bo the largest ever held In the western hemisphere with the exception of-the Columbian on : . iFUo more states arc to be represented than at the centennial ex position at Philadelphia In 1S7G , and many more than that at the New Orleans , Atlanta or Nashville expositions. Every state west of the Mississippi , with the exception ol Iowa , Is already actively gathering Its ex hibit , and In several to the cast plans are at an advanced stage of completion. The following table shows the amounts to be expended by various states and constitute a showing that should certainly remove any lingering remnant of doubt In the minds ol the legislature as to whatIowa should do : Nebraska $100.000 ! Idaho 20,001 Colorado 60,000 Wyoming 24 Om Minnesota 60.000 Utah 20. < XX Missouri DO.OOO Oregon 20,001 Illinois 47,000 Washington . . . 20.001 Kansas SO.OOO Montana SO.OOi California 30,000 Wisconsin 30OQi In many of these states representation 1 ; not by elate appropriation , but funds ralscc by commercial bodies , counties , cities am private subscription. The amounts given however , represent the amounts that will b ( spent In the name of the state for state representation. In Iowa It te too late , even If It wen thought desirable , to ralce any conslderabli sum of money by private subscription , am It Is universally recognized that If the leg Is lature does not act the state will bo un represented or have only such represcntatloi aa can bo made by private exhibitors am with the $10,000 preliminary appropriation Iowa of all elates , doubtless even more thai Nebraska , will benefit by the exposition The visitors to the exposition from the eas will bo obliged to journey across the entln stale and will see such an exhibit as m other state at the exposition can present It will hardly do to have this first agreeabli Impression shattered by discovering tha Iowa Is either so mean In spirit or too pee In purse as not to bo present at the expo sltlon In the garb presented by other states Thousands of visitors from Iowa will vial the exposition during the summer , In th < aggregate up In the hundreds of thourande and 4o there visitors It will bo a source o more than regret to eee a few mildewed op plea and frayed stalks of corn as the enl ; exhibition of Iowa's magnificent resources Whatever may bo thought now , It la cerlali that next summer failure to make an adequate quato appropriation will be the most un popular act of the present legislature.
