he heard that time ways anti means eonsnsitteo
hmath decided to report. thus senate bill n Ith
litit. One amendment.
Late this afternoon Iicprcsentativo Dolli-
ver of Iowa. who muncIe a most gallant fight

by the senate bill-but. who woo defeated by
a combination of deunocrats and Serene
Payne , a republican of New York , ( ho vote
standing five to six against the inctease-
rcported time exposition bill. The report
after the usual preamble states ttmat. the bill
was favorably passed upon imi comnultteo and
recounmontla but one amendmnqnt to the bill.
Section five in so ansemsded as to provide
that. no liability against. time government
shah be incurred , and no expenditure of
niommey under time act. ehail be muuado , until
time othicers of time exposition shall have furnished -
nished to the secretary of the treasury
proof to hits sattsfactlon ( hunt there have

subscriptions of stock in good faith , contributions -
tributions , domuatiomis or appropriations from
all sources , for ( lie purp-'o of time oxpositiomm ,
a suns aggregating not less thamm 250,000.
Tue report further says "Twenty-four
statc and territ.orlea are vitally interested
it' this enterprise , eacim one of which has
given assurances that it will mmsake an exhibit
anti ami appropriation in order that. the exposition -
position may be a great. succcs. The gov-
crnmnent has encouraged expositions of sirni-
lar character at New Orleans anti Atlanta
while government aid has beets extended to
some hsser affairs in other parts of time
coummtry , We are assured that timis exposition -
tion will be on a larger scale than the one
lately hold at Atlanta , and nih be of special
benefit to the Tranemiuississippi country. It
has been urged on this committee by frlemmds
of the exposition , Including members of tim
house , that the amount hcumltl be imcreavad :
to $250,000 in order that the enterprise uisigimt
be of a character commensurate witim the
greatmuass of tue tranonmlssissippi cottntr' ,
but , while concedipg the full force of this
contentiomu , In vioi' of ( lie deplorable condition -

that the senate in passing this bill , withmotmt
divislomi or objection , reduced the amount
Irons $250,000 provIded by the bill originally
to $200,000 , we do not. feel justified In raising
the amount to $250,000. The amendment
vrbposed by the conitnittee iviil insure a

PRESIDENT \VATTLE'S ARGUMENT.
Whem President Wattles arose to address
tue wayo and means committee this morning
juat a quorum of that august body was prer- ,
emit , bcBides Messrs. Mercer , Antirews and
Kern of the Nebraska delegatipu. Later.
however , cloven hnenb9rs shmowcd up , , on a
vote being taken in executIve eosaion. Chair-
ntanDInghy'1sot'votln . Watte3 ! began hut'
speech by reciting the' inceptian of the exposition -
position amid ro'leved the ression of the
Tramismnississippi congress , wimi h stands as
Its god parent. Arguments in favor of this' '
oxpositlon , said Mr. Wattles , brought cut the
fact timat time tide of initnigration which has
steadily flown westward for a cemitury was
aimoststeommed , and ( lint. the treat. depres-
tdoms in business durhnmr the past few years ,
coupls.'l whim n partial failure. , of crops in
eQmo of time western statee and activity of
other sections Of time country in advertising
their rpaurces might showat. the next ceo-
Bug that for time first time in fifty yearn the
center of population had mat'cc1 eastward. It
was argued that an exposition of the character -
ter proposed would counteract these influences -
ences , and by advertising in a fitting manner
the resources of the. wait and educating the
pcopio , cf our own country utmm ! of the world
in the variety and magnitado of these resources -
sources , this exposition would result. in last-
log ianoflts , not only to time west , but to the
entire country ,
Ho told lion' rnudlm greater thie exposition
would be than time Atlanta expouitimaus , and
aimowoci how tar short. an exposition building
costing but $50,000 would fall , in view of time
fact that the government building at Atlanta
iwima removed from the Worlth's fair at Chi-
cage. He showed the vastness of the country -
try to be benefited and the varied int1ustrie'
that would participate. He spoke of time
grand passibiiltiea that held out. inviting
hands , niountaimis of mineral wealth , oil fields
of Wyoming , coal fields of Colorado anti Utah ,
and capped it. nil with time strong thought of
how universally this exposition was being
taken up from Iowa to California anti from
North Dakota to Texas. In conclusion ito
stated timat the house bill earrying $500,000
woo righmt , but in view of toe chorinosa of
limb , auth as there was objection to time imouse
bill , ho urged time' committee to adopt the
eanato bhil with $50,000 added.
Mr. Wattles made a decided impression ,
speaking , as he calm ] . as a plain business man
to a representative body of legislators.
Dave Mercer misade a few remarks' , e'ayimmg
that thin nsemhmerc of thiO cuimimittee knew
imow earnestly ho desired time bill to pass.
Representative Dolliver , wlmo will mmow tnltc
ehuargo of time bill , is enthusiastic in Its support -
port , lie said tonight thai ime wouiml ask
unanimous consent in a day or two to pmmt time
bill on passage. falling in mehmlclm hue would
call it UP next Moaday , that being sucpent'Ion
day ,
McMilhin is against time bill , because Nmushm-
ville' ' got turned down , Tursmer voted mme because -
