NATIONAL CAPITAL. What is Being Done in Congressional Halls for the Country’s Welfare. PROCEEDINGS FROM DAT TO DAT BRIEFLY TOLD —BILLS AND MEASURES UNDER CONSIDERATION—OTHER NOTES. THE HOUSE. Wednesday—ln tbe bouse, Wednes day, it was expected that a vote would be taken on the world’s lair amendment to tbe sundry civil bill without debate, but the friends of the fair at the last mo ment concluded that it would be better to have more talk and, when at 12:80 o’clock the sundry civil report again ob tained the floor, Mr. Caruth,of Kentucky, was given an opportunity to explain why he had decided to change front at this time for tbe appropriation. His reason was that the fair had become a national matter. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, closed for the appropriation, his strong point be ing that by ordering Sunday closing the bouse bad diminished the fair receipts. Mr. McMillin closed for the opposition, urging the necessity for economy. The debate being concluded Speaker Crisp announced that he was satisfied that his ruling Tuesday should be changed. The effect of the ruling was to give Mr. Hol man entire control of the situation unless the house should take it away from him by voting down some proposition he makes. The first senate amendment proposed to increase the appropriation for the government exhibit, and, on Mr. Holman’s motion, the house, without division, insisted on its non concurrence in this amendment. The same course was followed as to other amendments of minor importance to the five-miilion-dollar appropriation, the world’s fair managers not caring to force the fighting until the big appropriation was reached. In this way, without division, alt the senate word's fair amend ments were sent back to coherence until the five-miilion-dollar appropriation was reached. Mr. Holman, in accordance with the opposition programme, yielded to Mr. Bankhead to offer the five million dollar amendment and the previous quesion being ordered, the clerk began to call the roll on Mr. Bankhead’s amendment. On the first roll call the amendment was defeated by a vote of 77 to 141. Mr. Holman demanded the yeas and nays and a second roll call was ordered. When the clerk finished the calling of the roll it was noised around that the motion had secured a majority of nearly twenty. Mr. Holman immedi ately changed his vote from the negative to the affirmative in order that ho might be entitled to move a reconsideration. Several votes were withdrawn, and the speaker finally declared the motion carried by a vote of, yeas 117, nays 105. All of the republi cans voted to concur in the senate amend ment. The Farmers’ Alliance members vote ! against concurrence. Sixty three democrats voted to concur. On the an nouncement of the vote Mr. Holman was promptly on his feet with a motion to reconsider, snd Mr. Bingham as prompt ly moved to lay that motion on the table. Then filibustering began in earnest. Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, moved an adjourn ment and pending that moved thnt when the house adjourn it be to meet Friday next. This was supplemented by Mr. Bailey, of Texas, with a motion for an adjournment until Saturday. Sevcnty ■even of the opponents of the world’™ fair proposition refrained from voting and Mr. Bailey’s motian was lost—yeas, 2; nays, 143. The point of no quorum was raised and Mr. Bingham moved a call of the house, which was ordered, but only after the filibusterers had wasted some time by demanding tellers. Two hundred and eight members responded to their names. Mr. Bingham offered a resolution revok ing all leaves of absence except those granted on account of sickness and di recting the sergeant-at-arms to notify absent members to attend to the sessions of the house immediately. The resolu tion was subsequently withdrawn and the house adjourned. When the matter again comes up the pending vote will be on Mr. Bingham’s motion to tablo the motion made by Mr. Holman to recon sider the vote by which the house reced cd from its disagreement to the world’s fair amendment. Thursday. —McMillin, of Tennessee, called up in the house a joint resolution that congress adjourn Saturday, at 2 •.’clock. Mr. Hatch opposed it fiecauso he wanted the anti-options bill to pass and Mr. Outhwaite, the leader of the filibusters, has also opposed it, and suggested Monday next as the date of adjournment. The house refused on a vote of (15 to 110 to agree to the amend ment, fixiug the date of adjournment at 2 o’clock Monday next. The oiiginal McMillin resolution providing for the fi nal adjournment of congress at 2 p. m. Saturday, was then adopted by a vote of 121 to 51. The speaker stated the pending motion to be that made by Mr, Bingham to table tbe motion to reconsider the vote by which the house receded from its disa greement to the senate's World’s Fair amendment. Immediately the fllibus terms came to the front led by Mr. Outhwaite, who moved an adjournment, tup|dementing this motion with one to sojourn until Saturday. Mr. Cummings, of New York, acted as lieutenant and moved an adjournment until Mondav. On the Cummings motion the vote stoocl: yets 1, uays 164, 2 less than a quoium, and the house was at a standstill, having refused to order a call. On the vote re curring, on Mr. Curomiog’s mo tion to adjourn till Monday, the house was again left without a quo rum. Friday.— I The World's Fair matter was delayed by a question of privilege raised t y Mr. Wheeler, or Alabama, rc lative to certain statements contained in a campaign book recently published by i Representative Watsou, of Georgia, re- I viewing the action of the present congress ] and positions taken by its members in the past. The house was thrown into a state of great confusion resulting from tbe sssertions by Mr. Wataon that everv word written in the book to whi h Wheeler referred was literally true, aid that he stood ready to defend every word of them. The asscriion was greeted with prolonged hisses, as the words charge h t drunkeu members reel through the "nd drunken members speak main grave measures. Mr. Watson was called to order by Mr. Tracy, of New York, who was greatly indignant over the wholesale charge upon the house. Mr. Watson was permitted to explain his language. He reiterated his assertion as to the truth of the state ment made by him and defied the house to do with him what it wished. Mr. Boatner introduced a resolution calling for the appointment of a committee to investigate the truth of Mr. Wstson’s charges relative to drunkenness of mem bers of the house, snd to recommend what course shall be taken with respect to the member (Mr. Watson) if the ' charge is found to be ttn'rne. FIT "bus | terlng was immediately inniigur ted by ! Mr. Cummings, of Now Ymk, a suming 1 command of the filibusters. Mr. Boatm r ssk'd for immediate action on the reso lution. and the question of its privilege was discussed and was ruled to be privi leged aDd adopted wuhout division. It was after 1.80 p. m. when the house re sumed the consideration of the World’s fnir amendments to sundry civil appro priation bills. Saturday. —The World’s fair appro priation continues to deadlock congress. The filibustering in the house went on j Saturday until the announcement was made of the death of Representative | Craig. The house then adjourned out of ! respect to his memory. Before that, however, and during tbe filibustering Mr. Holman reported a resolution ex tending the old sundry civil appropria tions until August 4th. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, one of the World’s fair advo cates, objected to its consideration, knowing at the time that a failure to adopt it would leave many departments of the government without funds. His objection sent the resolution over. THE SENATE. Wednesday. —ln tbe senate, Wednes day, Senator Hale, of the committee on naval affairs, introduced a joint resolution to amend the act in relation to the pro posed international naval review at Hampton Roads and New York. Tbe amendment empowers and directs the sec retary of the navy to send the United States ships of war to rendezvous in Hampton Roads in April, 1893, and to proceed thence at some time during the month of May or June to New York har bor to hold a review. The senate joint resolution authorizing foreign exhibitors at the world’s Columbian exposition to bring into the United Htates foreign laborers of their respective countries for the purpose of preparing for and making their exhibits was taken from the calen dar and passed. The anti-option bill then came up and three speeches were made upon it. No attempt was made to have a vote on Mr. Wolcott’s motion to refer the bill to the committee on finance and when Mr. Washburn asked unanimous consent to have a time fixed, (perhaps Thursday) for taking the final vote on the bill and pending amendment, a very prompt and determined objection was Interposed by Mr. White. Many house pension bills were taken from the calendar and passed; also, the senate bill to faoilita'e the en forcement of the immigration and con tract labor laws of the United States; also, the house bill to authorize the con struction of a bridge over the Tennessoe river at Deposit, Ala, After a short executive session the senate adjourned. Thursday. —ln the senate, sundry res olutions for the appointment of select committees to sit during recess were re ported. After spending one h >ur in pass ing bills on tbe calendar, among them the eight-hour law as to the public works of the United States and the District of Columbia, the anti-option bill was taken up at 2 o’clock p. m., and Mr. Washburn moved to lay on the tablo. Mr. Wolcott inovod to refer it to the committee on finance. This was agreed to by the very decisive majority of 32 to 13. Mr. Paddock then proceeded to deliver an argument in favor of the bill. Mr. Turpie also defended the bill, both from moral and legal points of view. After wards the amendments came up for ac tion. Mr. Washburn’s amendment to strike out section 12 was agreed to. Mr, Daniel’s amendment to strike out section 13 was debated until 5 o’clock, when the renators, exhausted by the oppressive hi at, voted unanimously for adjournment. The house adjournment resolution was received and referred to the appropria tion committee. Friday— There was no quorum when the senate mot Friday morning ami a half hour passed before one appeared; then Mr. Stewart seiz d the op portunity afforded by the colloquy between Messrs. Carlisle and Cock rell to make a silver speech. Mr. Carlisle addressed the senate on Mr. Hale’s invitation as to the re alive merits of “protection” and “tariff for revenue only,’’ and in response to tlie speeches of Messrs. Hale and Aldrich. Saturday. —The anti option bill was finally buried in the senate Saturday. Owing to the hot weather many senators have left Washington for the summer. Senator Washburn realizes ho could never get a quorum to vote upou it this session, so he agreed at Saturday’s res siou for it to go over until D. comber. That practically means its defeat after the election, ns but little interest will be taken in tbe measure, and the opposition will find no difficulty in postponing it indefinitely. Monday —The attendanse of senators Monday morning was not indicative of any great success having attended the telegraphic summons of the vice presi dent recalling absentees. The vice pres ident stated that no less than thirty-one such telegrams had been rent out, and he laid before the senate four telegrams re ceived by him alleging rick ness as the cause of absence. These were from Messrs. Wilson, Ca-ey, Dolph and Faulk ner. Leaves of absence were granted, be sides, to Mr. Platt, for the remainder of the session, aud Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, for Tuesday. On motion of Mr. Hawley, the invitation of the Grand Army of the Republic at the encampment in Septem ber was accepted on the part of the sen - ate, and a committee of five senators pro vided for. The house joint resolution, extending the appropriations included iu the sundry civil bill till Thursday receiv ed from the house was laid before the senate and parsed. NOTES. An extra session of congress is possible if the filibusters will not let the for “p propriation go through, and it the fair people will not let the resolution extend ing the old appropriation from August 4 (as it now stands), to next December an extra season wc uld have to be called to meet the emergency or a lot of gov ernment machinery would stop. This situation existed once before and an ex tra session bed to settle it. The president, on Friday, vetoed the famous McGsrrahan claim bill. Tbe veto message comes in the face of the fact that the bill passed both houses of con gress by more than a two-thirds majority. For his veto the president has been se verely criticised. Old man McOarrahan had expected it from the president’s de | lay in acting, and received the news philosophically. He believes it can be passed over the president’s veto in De cember. Such an effort will be made. The Walton Investigation. Watson’s statement to the committee and his statements iu his book revealed j the fact that Judge James E. Cobb, of the Tuskegee, Ala., district, ww the speaker referred to. Cobb's name was | made public at his request. He said it was generally known that the charge was against him and he wished an opportun ity to refute it. All Mr. Watson’s wit nesses expressed the opinion that he was intoxicated when he made his speech in tne Noyes-Rock well esse. Mr. Rock well, in whose favor Judge Cobb was arguing, test fi d that he had seen Cobb liefore, after and all during his speech, and that he was not in the smallest de gree intoxicated. Colonel Oates, of A'n bama, testified that be had known Cobb twenty-seven years; that he was not a drinking man; that ho stood high in his church; that his character was above reproach. He said that Cobb was physi cally week; that he was making a long and careful argument; that some friend sent to his desk a stimulant (whiskey, he supposed); that Cobb sipped it; that his manner brightened up somewhat; that he emphatically was not drunk. Represen tative Patterson, of Tennessee; Bynum, 1 of Indiana; Meyer, of Louisiana; Dele gate Smith, of Arizona; Peyion Wise, of Virginia, clerk to the house commerce committee, and Solicitor Hepburn of the treasury testified to Mr. Cobb’s sobriety on the occasion in question. Messrs Patterson, Bynum and one or two other witnesses testified that they bad seen a cup on Mr. Cobb’s desk and had seen him drink out of it, but from close observ.i tion and Knowledge of Mr. Cobb they knew that he was not under the influence of liquor. Representative DeForest, of Connecticut, did not think Mr. Cobb at all under the influence of liquor. Mr. Fellows, of New York, testified, and gave general absolution to members of the bouse as to drunkenness. Mr. Mutch ler, of Pennsylvania, testified in de nial of the truth of Mr. Watsou’a charges, and so did Mr. Tracey, of New York. The members of this house, Mr. Mutchler said, were particularly Ire" from the habit of intoxication, and were as sober a set of men as he ever saw in his life. He would not say that he had never seen a member on the floor of the house under the influence of liquor, but he never saw a member drunk there this session. Mr. O’Brien Moore, correspon dent of the St. Louis Republic, testified that he talked with Mr. Cobb Immedi ately before and after his argument, to which he had listened, and knew Mr. Cobb was not under the influence of liquor. Mr. Andrew Devine one of the official stenographers of the house, produced the manuscript of the official report cf Mr. Cobb’s argument, and testified that he saw nothing in Mr. Cobb’s conduct to justify the charges made. The examination of congressional witnesses to prove by cu mulative evidence of his audience that Mr. Cobb was not under the influence of liquor when he delivered his Noyes- Rockwell speech grew tiresome from tbe long array of congressmen who made statements. Messrs, Funston, of Kan sas; Cummings and Rockwell, of New York; Wheeler, of Michigan; Dungau of Ohio; Wise and Meredith, of Vir ginia; Byrnes, of Missouri; Kyle, of Mississippi; Sperry, of Connecticut, aud Stump, of Maryland, added their testi mony to that of previous witnesses who had testified that they listened to Mr. Cobb’s argument, and were surprised at the charge tliut he was under the influ ence of liquor. THE DEADLY HEAT. The Highest Death Rate Known in Twenty Years. TWO HRNDHED AND EIGHTY-SIX DKATIIS IN NEW YORK CITY IN ONE DAY MORTALITY IN PHILADELPHIA. During twenty-four hours, euding at noon Saturday, 286 deaths were reported m New York city. This is the heaviest death rate for a single day for twenty years. The number of deaths for the week was 1,434, the heaviest since July 6, 1870, when 1,581 deaths were reported for the week ending that day. Prostra tions from heat among workmen ul the Williamsburg sugar refineries for the week exceeded 600 Only two of the large sugar houses are in full operation. Havemeyer’s establishment employs near ly one thousand four hundred men. Of these more than four hundred, or nearly 83 per cent, were carried out during the week. The Brooklyn sugar refinery (fin ploys 450 men. Of those between seven ty and one hundred wore compelled to quit work and have been replaced by new men, ns were those in the Havoweyer sugar house. GREAT MORTALITY IN PHILADELPHIA. The effect of the terrible heat of tho past week in the city of Philadelphia whs startlingly shown by the weekly re port made Saturday by the board of health. During the week ended at 10 o'clock Saturday, Health Officer Voale issued 870 death certificates. This is a gieater mortality than hag ever been re corded by the officers before. This death rate is even greater than when epidemics of grippe or even cholera, smallpox ot diphtheria scourged the city. COOLER IN BALTIMORE. The weather at Baltimore Saturday, was about eight degrees cooler on an average than that of Friday, but deaths and pros trations from heat during the day were nearly as numerous us those on any other of the protracted hot spell. The report of the city health commissioner for the week gives the following facts: Total number of deaths for tho week, 457; under five years, 224; from sunstroke, 51; cholera infantum, 89; convulsions, 18. The number of deaths for the cor responding week of 1891 was 207, or 250 less than for the week just ended, and the excess 'n mortality is attributed by the health commissioner to be unparal leled heat here. Never before in the history of the city have there been so many deaths during the same period of time. CONDEMNING THE PINKERTONS Railroad Men Pass Resolutions Against Their Kinployment. Sunday, seven of tbe ordetaof railroad euiployeeof New Y'oik, New Jersey. Penn sylvania aud Delaware met at Wilkes birre, l a., in general convention to dis cuss the benefit and advisability of earn ing under one head. The societies are the Railroad Conductors. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Switchers’ Mu tual Aid Society, Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen, Order of Railroad Te legraphers aud ladies’ auxiliary. In the afternoon a mass meeting was held at tended by 5,000 non-brotherhood men. Addre-srs were m»do by prominent mem bers of tbe various branches. Grind Master Workman of tbe Knights of Labor T. V. Powderly spoke vigor ously of the outrages of tbe Pinkertons st Homestead and submitted the follow ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we regard the interfer • nee of the Pinkertons in the labor trou blts as unpatriotic and un-American. We have confidence in the power of the law to keep the peace and, therefore, demand the aboiit’on by law of the practice of throwing standing armies of irresponsible men aiound mills and factories and upon our railroads in times of labor disputes. A DETROIT MIRACLE. A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN . MEDICAL (SCIENCE. PARTICULARS OF ONE OF THE MOST REMARK ABLE CURES ON RECORD DESCRIR D RT THE DETROIT NEWS— a STORY WORTH A CAREFUL PERUSAL. (Detroit New*.) The following paragraph, which appeared fn the N«wb a short time ago, furnishe t the baots of tht* information-a cose that was *o wonderfully remarkable that it demanded further explanation. Tt is of sufficient im portance to the New-’ readers to report it to them fullv. It was so important then that it attracted considerable attention at the Hme. The following is the paragraph in question: “C. B. Northrop, for 28 years one of the liest known merchants on Woodward ave nue, who was supposed to be dying last spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping paralysis, ha- secured a new lease of life and returned to work at his store. The disease ties n'wavs lieen suppose I to be incurable, t ut Mr. Northrop’s condition is greatly im proved and it looks now as if the grave wc uld lie cheated of its prey." Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily Improved, not only in looks, but in condition, till he has regained his old-time strength. It had been hinted to tho writer of this article, who was acquainted with Mr. Northrop, that this miraculous change had been wrought by a very simple remedy called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple. When asked almut it Mr. Northrop fully verified the statement, and not only sc, but he had taken pains to inform any one who was suffering in a similar manner when he heard of any such ease. Mr. Northrop was enthusiastic at the result in his own case of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. It wsg a remedy that he had heard of after lie had tried everything he could hO|je to give him relief. He had been in the care of the l<est physicians who did all they could to alleviate this terrible malady, tut without any avail. He had given up hope, when a friend In Loekport, N. Y. t wrote him of the case of a person there who bait been cured iu similar circumstanc-s by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. The person cured at Loekport had obtained his information respecting Dr. Williami’ Pink Fills from an article published iu the Hamilton, Ont,, Times. Tbe case was called “The Hamilton Miracle" and told the story of a man in that city who, after almost incredible suffering, was pro nounced by the moat eminent physicians to be incurable and permanently disabled. He had silent hundreds of dollars in ail sorts of treatment and appliances only to be told in the end that there was no hope for him, and that cure was impossible. The person al luded to (Mr. John Marshall, of 25 Littla William Bt., Hamilton, Unt.,) was a mem ber of the Royal Templars of Temperance, and after having been pronounced perma nently disabled and incurable by the physi cians, was paid the #IOOO disability insurance provided by the order for its memtiers in such cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been utterly helpless, and was barely able to drag himself around bis bouse with the aid of crutches. His agonies were almost unbear able and life was a burden to him, when at last relief came. Home months after he had been paid the disability claim he heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and was induced to try them. The result was miraculous; almost from the outset an improvement was noticed, and in a few months the man whom medical experts had said was incurable, was going about the city healthier and stronger than before. Mr, Marshall was so well known in Hamilton • bat all tbe city newspapers wrote up his wonderlul recovery in detail, and it was thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop came into poasession of the information that led to his equally marvelous recovery. One could scarcely conceive a case more hopeless than that of Mr. Northrop. His injury came about in this way: One day, nearly four years ago, lie stumbled and tell the complete length ot a steep flight of stairs which were at the rear of his siore. HU head and spine were severely injured. He was picked up and taken to bis home. Creep ing paralysis very soon developed itself, and in spite of the most strenuous efforts of friends and physicians the ter rible affliction fastened itself upon him. For nearly two years he was perfectly helpless. He could do nothing to sup port his strength in the least effort. He had to be wheels i about in an invalid’s chair. He was weak, pale and fast sinking when his timely information came that veritably snatched his life from the jaws ot deatu. Those who at that time saw a feeble old man wheeled into bis store on an invalid’s chair would not recognize the man now, so great is the ebauge that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have wrought. Wheu Mr. Northrop learned of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall in Hamilton, ami the person in Loekport, he procured a supply ot Dr. Williams’ Pink rills through Messrs. Bassett & L'llomme- Uieu, 25 VV oodward avenue, and from the outset louud an improvement. He faithfully adhered to tne use ot the remedy until now he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop declares that there oau be no doubt as to Pink Pills being the Cause of bis restoration to health, as all other remedies aud medical treatment left him iu a condition rapidly go ing from bad to worse, until at last it was declared there was no hope for him aud he was pronounced incurable. He was in this terrible condition when he began to use Dr. W Illinois' Pink Pills, au l they have restored him to health. Mr. Northrop was asked what was claimed for this wonderlul remedy,and replied that he uuuerslood that the proprietors claim it to be a blood builder and nerve restorer; supplying lit a condensed form all the ele ments necessary so earn'd sue 0100 l, restore shattered nerves an t drive out disease. It is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, palpitation of the h'art, healache, and all diseases peculiar to females, loss of appetite, dizziness, sleeplessness, 1 wi of memory, and all diseases arising from overwork, mental worry, loss of vital force, etc. “I want to say,” said Mr. Northrop, “that I don't have much faith in patent medicines, but l cannot say too much in favor of Dr. Williams’Pink Pills. The proprietors,how ever, claim that they are not a patent med icine In the sense in which that term is used, but a highly scientific preparation, the re sult of years of careful stu ly and exoeri ment on the part of tbe proprietors, au l the pills were successfully used in private practice for years before being placed for general sale. Mr. Northrop declares that he is a living ex ample that there is nothing to equal these pills as a cure for nerve diseases. On inquiry the writer found that these pills were man ufactured by Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y„ and Brockville, Ont., and the pills are sold in boxes (never in bulk by the hundred), at 50 cents a box, and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co..from either above addresses. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment with them comparatively inexpensive as compared with other reineiies or medical treatment. This case is one of the most re markable on record, an I as it is one right here in Detroit, and not a thousand miles away, it can be easily verified Mr. North rup is very well known to the people ot Detroit, and he says he is only too glad to testify of the marvelous good wrought in his case. He says he considers it his duty to help all who are similarly afflicted by any word he can say in behalf of the wonderful eflioacy of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Of General Interest.

The board of trade and citizens of Fargo, N. D., have undertaken to raise $30,000 to supplement the state’s World’s fair appropriation of $25,000. Butteiflies to the number of 150,000 will be shown in the Pennsylvania ex hib.t at the World’s fair. The collection is said to be the most complete and finest in the world. It is estimated that the thirty five rail roads which enter Chicago will expend $110,000,000 in increasing and.improv ing tlieir equipment and facilities for transporting World’s fair visitors and freight. Costa Rica’s pavillion at the World’s fair will be surrounded by gardens orna mented by a profusion of tropical plants, and in the galleries of the pavillion will be placed more than three thousand beau tiful birds,many of which have very gor geous plumage. Conspicuous in the shoe and leather exhibit at the World’s fair will be the display made by Lynn, Mass. Lynn ii the largest shoe producing centre in the United States, fully seventy five and per haps one hundred of the shoe manufact urers of th t city will furnish exhibits.

France intends to show its skill in landscape gardening at the World’s fair. A eab'egram has been received from the French commission asking that it be al lowed to do and bear the expense of the “whole decoration of the spaces sur tounding the horticultural and the wo man’s building.’’ This generous oiler, doubtless, will bo accepted if it does not interfere with plans too far advanced to be changed. The French are world renowned as artistic landscape gardeners, and it is believed they would hardly have made the offer referred to unless they inteud to make a d splay of surpassing b- auty. The commission asked also for 60,0(0 square feet for the French horti cultural exhibit. The Result.
