Although It Is more than four months be fore the date set for the opening of the gates of the Trnr.mnlpfllsslppl ami International Exposition , Omaha Is already the Mecca ot largo bodies of people drawn hither by the exposition. They come from all quarters of the LVilon und reprcacnt a great variety of Interests , but all are actuated by ono motive , viz : to.Iearn by actual observation the exact etatus of the exposition and to make ur- rangemecita for representation by the sec tion of country represented by them. A num ber of thcsD delegntlono have vl-iited the city within the lust few weeks a < ul others are expecte.l In the near future. Judging from the unanimous expressions of the delegations which have preceded them the expected vis itors will tleid that their most flattering an ticipations will be more than realized. Thirty-two business men from St. Joseph , M.\ , will arrlvo In the elty today to visit the exposition grounds ami olllces and con fer with the exposition officials regarding leprcsuntatlon for their city and state. Saturday morning a party consisting nf nearly the entire legislature of lowt will e'omo to Omaha to look Into the exposition situation , In connection with the applica tion of the Iowa Expedition commission for nu additional appropriation f-r state repre sentation. Thursday of next week a delegation of members of the Minnesota c.tjijj'tlon ' , prom inent business men and prrat representa tives to the number of about thirty , will visit Omaha for the purp > so ot Informing themselves regarding the nltuatlon In order that the work of the commlis'an may be more Intelligently directed and local Interest aroused In the matter of state rtpresenta- tlon. tlon.Two Two representatives of the Loulslam. Sta.e Heard of Agriculture , which has charge of the matter of making a state uxUlblr , will lie In thet city early In February on n similar errand , ami arrangomcnts are now bolng perfected for a trip to Omaha by the' New Jersey Exposition commission.

Thh change \va.i tnado on account of the great press of applications for epaco In tin. manufactures display. It has been appalcnt foi1 some time that the Manufactures bulld- liiK wcs entirely too small for the purpose for which Itvas Intended , ami no practicable plan Imrt been devised for enlarging the building. The Liberal Arts building was planned and erected near the IMnnufacturco building as onu means of relieving1 the prcs sure , but this was not sulllclcnt and tbo de mand for more space has been pressing for somn time. The Department of Exhibits re ports tliat after leaving out of consldcratloi all the exhibits which might bo considered undesirable for any reason and confining ex hibitors to the smallest space commensurate with 'their ' proposed exhibit there still re main application * for space at least 2 , " per cent In excess of the capacity of the Mnnu facturcs and Mbeinl Arts buildings combined ami in > ere applications for space coming It dally. In view of these conditions the executive committee , at Its mcoilng yesterday , decldei to change the namrs of thu buildings as stated heretofore. The decoration of Hit Mine ? building , which has especial rcfer- cricii to the mining Industry , will be trans ferrcd to thu Manufactures building and the space Hi us left will bo filled with other orna mentation In keeping with the new character which will bo given to 'the building. With this exception no changes will bo made li cither building and there will bp nothing about either to Indicate that any change was made' . The new Manufactures building will have fully one-third more lloor space than the one first deilgnnted by thut name and thrro will bu nmplo opportunity for extending this building toward the north along the east sldo of Twentieth street.Vlrllo no definite plan of this kind has been olllclally decided upon , It Is probable 'that a wing will be con structed to this building as suggested and this will bo assigned to the foreign ex hibitors , of whom thcro will Ina large num ber.

The bill Introduced In the New Jersej legislature , providing for an 'appropriation for a state building to bo erected en the ex position grounds , docs not specify the amount to be appropriated , the amount being left blank at the suggestion of members o : thi > seatecommltto ? on appropriations there being Home difference or opinion as to whether the amount should be $10,000 or $ L'0,000. The matter of promoting the pas sage of this bill Is In the hands of Chair man Robert Mitchell Kloyd of Jersey City ind 'E. ' O.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. * - t The Judlrlary rommlttee of the council h--s considered a number of amendments to the new gas franchise ordinance and has finally decided on due which will bo offered nt tile next meeting of the council. H was at first proposed to tack on several amendments. Ivit the committee , after considering the matter , dn.jped alt but one. A sugge.itlon had be.ni made regarding the- new company erecting peimanent buildings of a certain size , etc. , the number of eiu'loyes wa-3 al.3O . to be desig nated In another amendment. Then thei < . > was aiiothe-r one Miked over w'.ilch provided that the 'franchise ' must run for a cettnlti dumber of years before It could be trans ferred. The ctie amendment which has been de cided upon by the judiciary committee yro- vldes that the promoters , Mcssrs. Flynn , Wyiiun and Cres-sey , shall deposit a certified check for ? 5,000 as a guatanty that the t > lant would bo completed and in working or der within two years. In speaking about this amendment last eveoiing W. U. Wyman , who la ono of the aiollcttits for the franchise , stated t'jat lie would under no elrcumstances accept the amendment. It was ridiculous , ho tald. to nsk any concern to lay ? 3,000 aside for two years where It oould not be used by anyona. Nothing of the surt had been demanded by the Judlrlary committee when a fran chise was gva'iited ' for ? 1.CO gas , and now that the cou.rviny ho represented offered 'o soil gas for $1 jicr 1,000 cubic feet this stumbling block was placed In the way. Continuing. Mr. Wyman said that if the present city council did not giant the fran chise ho would not be discouraged. T-jeru would , ho said , be a city election next April whca four councllme'ii ' were to be chosen , and unless the franchise as originally drafted was yassed , the gas franchise question would bu made-one of the features of the election.

The managers of thr' lacking houses have made finite liberal sub scriptions , and It la understood that enough money has been pledged to vlacc the insti tution on a firm footing 'for ' ssme little time. There has been considerable criticism of the prestot nyinagomc'nt ' on account of alleged extravagant expenditures. It Ins been as serted that the > utmost -economy was neces sary In order to prevent the hosiltal from becoming too dccoly Invslved In debt. One- thing that ii great many members of the , take to the enJ- -oclatlon exceptions was E - kig of $10 to give one of the retlrlug nurses. Miss Nelson , a present of some silverware. Miss Nelson resigned for t'je reason liial she was going to bo married , and , although she had boon employed at the hospital only ulx weeks , certain of the ofllccrs felt called upon to fncnd the amount mentioned lei pur chasing a suitable wedding present. The women are talking about this expenditure a great deal , anil as there Is quite a bit of dissatisfaction It may cut something ot o. llgurc at the election. I'ulfin Vfti-1-aiis' I'uloii.
