What the Atlafta Exposition Did
Fin*cially.
Whentho cotin exposition gates
closed Tuesday light the turnstiles
indicated that sin‘e the opening day
1,286,863 people Sad been admitted to
the grounds. Of this number there
were 817,923 paid admissions, includ¬
ing adults and'chi dren.
This statement is according to the
report kept in the office of Mr. C. M.
Felder, who has been the chief inspec¬
tor of the exposition and who has
made the reports of the turnstile read¬
ings to the officials.
The total figures include the admis¬
sions at the pass gates, paid admission
gates and the wagon gates, through
which the soldiers and invited guests
have passed.
The following is a detail statement
of the attendance:
Adults, paid admissions..... 738,115
Children, paid admissions... 79,813
Passes...................... 434,935
Wagon gates............... 35,000
According to the best reports ob¬
tainable today the exposition company
has realized from the paid admissions,
§354,072.95.
The percentage received through
the concession department is figured
at $115,654.32 and this added to the
gate receipts make the total receipt
from these sources since the exposi¬
tion opened $479,727.27, but there are
other sources to hear from.
According to the haSs statement-of Mr.
S. M. Inman, who handled the fi¬
nancial department o:f the exposition
for some time, the total receipts of the
exposition company nfill approximate
a million and a quartler dollars while
the expenditures were not above these
figures. Mr. Inman- is thoroughly
conversant with the affairs of the expo¬
sition and has mad$ the following
statement about its finances-:
“We cannot give al detailed state¬
ment of the finances oV the company,
but will be able to do ipo in a few days,
but the receipts of tbie company will
approximate a million and a quarter
of dollars.
“This only covers t. ae amount han¬
dled by the exposition company, We
cannot tell yet ho^,we will dispose of
the exposition effifcts, but will adopt
plan to dispose them to the
advantage. expoaj^nn, This fas been a three

ROUTINE OF HOUSE AND SENATE
BRIEFLY CHRONICLED,
Summary of Bills and Resolutions
Presented and Acted Upon.
THE HOUSE.
The last session of the house for the
year 1895, held Tuesday, was a purely
formal meeting, lasting but a very few
minutes, and an adjournment was tak¬
en until Friday, according to tho un¬
derstanding. The prayer of Chaplain
Couden was most impressive. He
asked that party contentions might be
buried, that the nation might advance
with the motto “One flag, one coun¬
try, one God,forever,” and concluded:
“With malice toward none, with char¬
ity for all, let our nation stand an ex¬
ample to all the W'orld with justice
written on her brow.” Mr. Noonan,
the only republican member from
Texas, made a correction of the jour¬
nal to show that he had voted for the
two revenue bills last week. At 12:15
the house adjourned.
The session of the house Friday
lasted only five minutes. The chap¬
lain offered prayer, the journal was
read and approved, a message was re¬
ceived from the senate and then the
house adjourned until Monday.
THE SENATE.
When the senate met Tuesday Mr.
Perkins, of California, asked unani¬
mous consent for the consideration of
a resolution directing the committee
on finance to report an amendment to
th^ house tariff bill laying an addition¬
al duty on raw sugar equal to the other
increases of the bill. Mr. Berry, dem¬
ocrat, Arkansas, objected. It was
agreed to adjourn over till Friday,
Mr. Morrill, republican, Vermont,
exjffaining that the finance committee
desired to consider the bond and tariff
bills on Thursday.
Mr. Chandler’s resolution offered
Monday directing the committee on
naval affairs to investigate the prices
paid by the government for armor
plate and as to whether any official of
the government was interested in pat¬
ent processes, was cabled up. At the
suggestion ££^Mto^q^lUii£ of Mr. Gorman, democaat,
Marv 2 0 cting an in-
senate. Alter tnat possiDiy tne dis¬
cussion of this proposition would be
desirable.
Mr. Butler said the proposition
needed no discussion. The couutry
understood it. It had been exhaus¬
tively discussed, until the public judg¬
ment was as certain as that two and
two made four. Still, according to
Mr. Hill’s request, the measure was
temporarily withdrawn. At 1 o’clock
Mr. Sherman begaD his speech on the
financial question, reading from manu¬
script and receiving close attention.
At the conclusion of Mr. Sherman’s
remarks Mr. Butler renewed his re¬
quest for the immediate consideration
of his bill to prohibit the future sale of
bonds except with the consent of con¬
gress. The newspapapers, he said,
had told the story of the impending
bond issue. Action should be had at
once. Mr. Butler asked unanimous
consent to put his bill upon its pass¬
age and Mr. Hill, who happened to be
in the chair, rather startled the senate
by himself interposing an objection.
Mr. Mills, democrat, Texas, took
the floor to reply to Mr. Sherman. He
repelled the charge that the Fifty-
third congress was in any way respon¬
sible for the present financial crisis.
The burden belonged to the Fifty-first
congress and Mr. Sherman was partly
responsible for the legislation of that
congress. The democrats had turned
over to the Harrison administration in
1889, $230,000,000. How was it, he
asked, if the claim that the McKinley
bill had produced sufficient revenue
was true, that in 1893, when the dem¬
ocrats again assumed control, all that
surplus was gone, consumed and dis¬
sipated? He said the
Mr. Elkins next spoke.
house bond bill was intended to meet an
emergency. There was no reason, he
said, why the president and allowed secretary
of the treasury should be to
sell bonds without advertising, saying
that they should not be given a privi¬
lege which would not be granted to in¬
dividuals in ordinary affairs. He criti¬
cized the last bond issue, claiming
that the commission was too great.
He saw no reason why loans should
not be floated at home. Mr. Elkins
thought the people were as likely to
buy from the government as from a
syndicate, and considered the syndi¬
cate superfluous. The president should
take the people into his confidence.
