Tbe bill was referred to : the judiciary committee, but abort- u , ly-afterward tbe Louisiana delega tion calico on the committee to ask ahd rccelvc explanations. Judge Moulton "bad at first re fused l to make , any disclosures, .saying simply that be bad beard .tbe Exposition was a failure, tbat '" tbe money bad been expended ^ ‘Wtthout any Satisfactory results, and tbat.not a -tenth of tbe sp&co .. was taken up- by exhibitors. He had' therefore acted for tbe pro- ' tcction Of the governmerit. Upon Ueldj? approached bytbo Louisiana il delegation, however, be said that ,„bls information bad come from a Mr, West Sleevrr, an attorney and lobbyist hero.

He is perhaps tbe busiest man in tbe . worldiBVtbfs time; sleeps and cats at fits office at,tbo Main Building, Works eighteen hours a day, has soetlhfe family buttwioo in twenty 1 days. - When tbo resolution was teed to him he repliod : ‘•Tbo world never witnessed an Exposition of the magnitude of ibis. Moro ma- ' cblifery, moro art, moro agriculture, more diversified industries, more oxkiblts of tho natural resources of America than tho world lias seen b.eloro at one time! Two thousand oarloads of materials bavo been oarried to tbe Exposition, and the bnildings are not yet half full.

Applications for space have been allotted for British, French, Belgian, Russian, Austrian, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and ■ Bismeso, Central American and Mexioan exhibits, oovering 160,000 square feet of space. “Our floor space is about 2,500,- 000 square feet, and wo have not i been able to allot space for a week, i’ became tho ground floor and gal leries are full to overflowing. “We shall add a building 400 feet long to tho Main Building, and hUVe It finished by the 16th, al though not a post is np. V “As to expenditure! and manage ment, wo, defy criticism. Not a penny baa been expended without 'th'i appropriation by tbe board, 'close scrutiny by the committee and over my ccrtifloato, and every . voucher, until the last installment of the loan, hoe beoii examined and found correct by jjie Secretary of tbe Treasury. .

WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON INDESTRUCTABLE ROCKS OF UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT, Tottered and Pell in a Day! Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi al* bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil drens and-Men’s Clothiug, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 80 to 60 per cent, of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock These Purchases will be Put on Sale and itQwill be to the interest of every one in this city or country to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods you were never offered them in the history of the dry goods, clothing, boot and shoe trade.
