Iin : ] During the recent meeting of the
Svii'u alliance a delegate from Buffalo county
xk exception to the records of farm tnorl-
, 'nro , indebtedness published monthly In the
\ . ' fmns ol THE Bpi'nnd : to n group of in-
f TastoU alliance men undertook to explain
Just how Tun UCB was "pulling the wool"
over the eyes of the peoplu of the state , and
bow , instead of getting out of debt , thu
people were really plunging deeper In.
' In my own ( Buffalo ) county , " said ho ,
"tlio farmers nro paying olt their debts by
reason of thu' fact that the mortgages nro
being rapidly foreclosed. When you read in
TUB DEI : that so many mortgages bavo been
pul.l off nnd released it means thut to many
mortgages hnvo been foreclosed. That's the
Way it is in my county , and that's Iho way it
is nil over the state. "
11,0 was emphatic In his assertions and his
auditors , among whom were a delegate from
Adorns county nnd ono from Clay , nodded
their beads approvingly nnd throw glances
of commiseration nt tlio humble BIE : corres
pondent.
An Appeal to tlio Itecords.
Ill order to show the utter fallacy of the
fctntemont mndu by the Buffalo comity
alliance man , it : s only necessary to appeal to
thn records. In Buffalo county for the past
scvon months there have been filed
" 111 form mortang.es , representing n
vnluo of S-'lWumiO. During the snmo
purled 2S7 farm mortgages wcru
released , their aggregate amount nuing J-I'.IS- '
117.f > 9. According to the Buffalo comity man's
statement n largo number of thcsu farm mort
gages recorded ns having been released must
have boon foreclosed. The records , however ,
knock tlio pins from under tbo gentleman
from Buffalo county. During tbo same
period of seven months the record shows that
but six farm mortgages were entered for
foreclosure. The Buffalo county man will
have to look away from his own county for
facts upon which to base his assertions that
the farmers uro paying oil their mortgages
by giving up their farms.
Morn Facts I'roiu the Itccorils.
If the Buffalo county man could find
nothing In the records to bolster up his argu
ments , his friends from Adams und Clay
( Xuntics who applauded his remarks so
Igorously uro equally At fault. In Adams
" nnty for the same porlod tbo last seven
' inths of the year 1801 the records show

Home of lt History ,
"When the national commission organized
It proccoded to operate under a largo number
of committees , mooting only two or three
times a yoar. But ns the commission duties
increased it was found difficult to enable
thorn to conduct the affairs of the exposition
through these committees , and a board of
control , consisting of oiglt | members , was
created and clothed with nil thu power which
tlio commission could delegate to a repre
sentative committee. TliU board was era-
atod in accordance with a compact between
the national commission and the directory of
the World's Columbian exposition. This
compact provides for the work of the expo
sltion through a number of departments , ami
provides that n chief of each department will
ho appointed by the director general.
"Tho office of director general was created
and filled by tbo national commission , nnd In
the suggestion of said directory , George H.
Duvis of Chicago was elected to
this office , and thereupon bacumo the
chief executive officer of the expo
sition , and his power * nnd authorities
as suoti wora distinctly recognized by the
compact mentioned. Thu said compact
created n board of reference and control con-
slating of n president , vice chairman and six
members of the national commission which ,
with n lilco commlttoo of said directory , con
stitute the committee of conference toilwbich
shall bo referred nil matters of difference
nnd the action of which thereon shall bo
conclusive.
"Tho principal business of the committee
vlll bo to try to secure tlio nocoisary appro
priation to enable the national commlttco to
ptoporly oxccuto the duties required of it by
tbo act of congress. This appropriation com
prehends the expenses of the national com
mission and its officers and that of procuring
the medals , premiums ami diplomas and the
jurors of awards , all of which are absolutely
necessary under the act of congress.

"At the last September mooting of the
national commission n communication was
recolijod from Hon. W. T. Baksr , president
of the World's Columbian exposi
tlon , requeuing the national commix.
slon to endorse a request that it
proposed to make to the Fifty second
oongroaa for a loan of fi.OOO.OOO to bo ex-
ponded ns before stated. From a careful
budget of tuc expense of the propnratioti of
the grounds and buildings so to bo dedlzaled
it was seen that about ? 17,000,000 , Jvould bo
actually necessarv to defray thnt oxpptiso.
The tlO.UOJ.OOO , contemplated and provided
for In tbo act act of congrcsi , to Us raised by
the said corporation , being IdadcqtmVu , it was
thought by the national commission that It
would bo but fair thnt the government of the
Tilted States , under whoio auspices and in
whoio name the World's fair was to bi > In
augurated , should comu to tno rcllof of the
Illinois corporation and lend It the sum of
$5,000,000 , thu government , having performed
n Ilko service and shown a like mark of
patriotism In the interest of the Pnlladdlphia
centennial In ISTil , by landing the neces
sary . funds to carry out tho. pup-
poses of the government In holding
that exposition. Tncn the commission
felt construinad to favor and endorse the
proposition , conditioned upon such terms ns
congress in its \rlsdotn might impose , and
this commlttco wa charged with the duty of
presenting to congress the reasons which
actuated the national commission for the
action which it took in that regaro. Since
the adjournment of the sid September soi-
slon of the national commission thn directory
of said corDoration has , it Is stated , aban
doned thu idea of asking congress to muko
the loan referred to , and has determined to
nsk congress for an outright appropriation of
i,000,000 , , tinder what conditions and rostrio-
tions , If any , It is not stated. Neither
the national commission nor Its boird
of control having taken any action upon this
last proposition of direct apnroprlatlon this
committee docs not fool called upon to take
any part for or against the proposition on
which would In nny sense commit the na
tional commission or its Board of Control to
tbo sumo. Certainly the committee will say
nothing to congress on the subject of the
loan , as It has no power to originate nny
proposition on that subject , being controlled
by the order of the commission which re
quires that it shall only urge the loan upon
congress in the event It is requested by said
Illinois corporation.

Thu work of the preparation of tbo grounds

This unexpected act of tlio Chilian minis

have requested the American minister to say
to tlio mliituter of foreign affairs thnt I am

to that of Chill in such matters , and that 1
consider his criticism offensive , and will not

In Full Tliln ol Legislation.
Although the house has not been able to
act upon any of tbo hundreds of bills that
has boon introduced uy its members , the
stmato is now in tbo full tide of legislation.
A do cn hilts have already passed that body
nnJ have been sent over to the house. Among
thorn are several bills making appropriations
for public buildings , a class of measures
which representatives very much wish to
father. The work is to be kept up this week ,
and as theroaro already thirty-seven of these
bills on the senate calendar within easy
roach , the members of the house will proba
bly buffer omo loss of prestige in the eyes
of" their constituents through the activity of
the senate. There is llttlo bojond tneso
moasuaos us yet for the senate to act upon.
Tomorrow the Weil and LaAbra claims will
bo discussed in connection with the pending
bills to investigate the allegations of fraud in
their allowances. The bill ra-organlzinc the
sjstotn of printing and issuing puolic docu
ments may also bo a provocative to debate.
Senator Kyle will talk about marriugo and
divorce , and the executive nossions during
the week will probably develop some party
feolintr , as it is expected that the judicial
nominations and the Elmira postmastership
will liguro in the proceedings.
In tin ! House.
After the introduction of bills tomorrow
the bouse of repreaentotlvos will take up the
measure reported by Mr. Richardson of Ten
nessee , from the joint commlttoo on printing ,
entitled "A Bill Providing for the Public
Printing and Binding and the Distribution of
Public Documents.1'
It is expected at least half of the sessions
of the house during the week will bo qon-
sumca In the consideration of this matter
The bill malms a general revision of the
present system of printing and distributing
public documents , and as thcro nro llfty-nino
pages of It , and it contnins many things of
public interest , and otbors of special lnterost _
to the congressmen themselves , it is iin-
prolmblo that it can bo brought to a vote
speedily.
Hold Tlielr. I'lrHt Conference.
On Saturday Messrs. McMillan and C.Uch-
Ings , members of the house rule ? committee ,
held their llrst conference with the speaker
on the subject of a permanent code of rules
for the house of representatives during tlio
Fitly-second congress. They hope to bo able
to report the rules to the bouse early in the
week in order that they may bo taken up before
fore its close , but past experience of
tbo time necessary to accomplish congres
sional work of such a delicate nature as the
framing of a Hot a rules would indicate that
unexpected delays may dofur the report
longer than Is anticipated. Besides the ill
ness of the s'poakor militates against rapid
work.
The rules of the Fiftieth congress hnva
been referred to the commlttoo and will , with
fiomo modifications , constitute the rules of
tills congress.
Tlio senate resolution making an appropria

The experience of Tun Ben CI.VIMS
BntUAu has brought out the fact that many
of Its subscribers do not understand that the
Indian depredations act passed by the last
congress annulled all previous contract. ' * for
collecting claims under it. This is a fact
that they should know for their own protoo
lion. When the act was sienod nil contracts
with agents were made void by its terms.
1'ho holders of claims were then free to make
such bargains with their adonis ns they
pleased , or could refuse to maUo any bargain
at nil.
The framers of the act found it nocoisary
to take this step for the protoctiou of tha
claimants. At the time when there seemed
little chauco that such an act would bo
passed hundreds of claimants had contracted
with agents to pay outrageous fees in case
tlio money could bo collected. Cases nro
known in which thocluinmnts had contracted
to give up to the agents over olio-half the
amount collected. Cases in which one-third
was promised were not at'nil uncommon. To
allow these contracts to stand would muko
the law not an act of justice , but. an act of
extortion for tlio boiiellt of the claim agents.
The cfauso was iuserto.1 annulling all the
contracts , good , bad and indifferent , and
limitiug tbo percentage to bo charged by
agents to 15 per cent , wlh ; an extra 0 pur
cent allowance for special cases. The claim
agents naturally objected to this , assorting
that It was beyond the po-.vors of congress ,
but the best opinion ofiipth houses was that
'
contracts made to colloct''eTflms ! under a law
that did not exist could bo nnnullad In tbse
manner.
On tho-ttti of March , therefore , the claim
ants who had signed contracts were as frco
from obligations to agents as those who hud
not. If they wore satislied with then-agents
and wished to aU-u a new contract within the
limit of compensation ll.xud by the law , it
was their right , but ncno of thorn were
under any loKal obligation to do so. The
more unscrupulous of the agents naturally
represented to their clients that they were
bound to renew their contracts , with merely
the substitution of the conns named by law
for the outrageous commissions at lirst
monded. Cases have boon brought ttb
attention of Tii'j Bun m whichhl
policy had been followed sncujsly
by unscrupulous agents. They had in aworJ
bullied tbo claimants into hiring them whan
if tha claimants had understood that they
wore free of obligation , they would have
chosen other representatives. As others nro
being worked upon in the snmo way , the
facts of the case are set forth for their pro
lection. If they nro satislied with the men
they first chose they are right In ro-cngajiing
them. If they oronot _ sutilled , they are free
to engage anbody they chooso.
