Expenditures of the World's Fair Commis- sloners Cause Discussion. Avmaxy, N. Y., March 15.—Therc was a rumpus in the assembly today over the ex- penditures of the New Yorik State World's fair commissioners, apropos of their request for another big appropriation. The ways and means committee reported the World's fair bill and Mr. Quigly moved that it be made a speeial order for tomorrow. Mr. Ainsworth (republican) said he sup- posed there was a great sentiment behind this bill, but he was opposed to its passage with the information be now had at hand. A year ago the republicans had opposed an appropriation of §00,000 and declared that if all this was given that it would be squan- dered. There is a general fecling now that if the commission bas changed front and wants more money the reason that impels it should be made known. He understood that the ways and means committee had some information. He had approached the repub- lican members of the committer. He was told that this information had been given in confidence and could not be divulged. He did not believe in letting the ways and means committee run the house. He wanted to know what had been done with all this money. He wanted to know how much of the state’s money had gone for champagne for the ways and means umittee, how much for traius, how much for luncheons, how much for drinks. Ho so wanted to know what commissioner had ordered each expenditure. Hot words followed on both sides of the house when Ainsworth submitted a resolu- tion calling upon the comptroller to furnish to the assembly by Puesday next a full and detailed statement of all expenditures and to indebtedness now outstanding, the name of the commissioner by whose order each ex- penditure was made and all communications that had passed between the comptroller and the commissioners, The resolution was adopted and the World's fuir bill madea special order for Wednesday i — CONDITION OF THE MONEY MARKET.

Benu 4 series of con- ferences with Chancellor von Caprivi, Herr von Bennings has offered, for the national liberal party, to agree to an incroase of the annual number of recruits by 48,000, Al- thouzh this coacessiow is an increase of 4,000 men above the former offer of the national liberals and was stated by Herr von Bennings us the ultimatum of his party, Chancellor von Caprivi declined it. The chancellor still holds out for the fuli increase of 60,000 providad for in the arm; bill. His attitude toward Herr von Ben- nings' proposal is believed to seal the fate of the army bill in the committee. It is gen- erally believed that the measure will be de- feated at the second reading in the commit- tee tomorrow.

The resolution was thus disposed of for the time being, no opposition being offered to a delay of twenty-four hours. A wrangle occurred at the opening of the session. lmumediately after roll call f(fl'kley made a motion ordering all the evidence taken by the cell house investigating com- mittee spread upon the journal of the house. Met Some Opposition. Hailer favored Keckley's motion. He stated that a disposition had been maonifest all along to say that the report in this case was overdrawn, and a uumber of the newspapers had tried to discourage the showing made. He wanted the house to remember that it was coufronted by a future, and that this matter would certainly come up, and it was due the committee that the evidence be made a matter of record in order thatis might be obtainable ut any time to back up the report McKesson de lared that there was no nec- idence a matter of it had been printed by the newse papers ybody had read it. Davies {'attention to thegreatchange t had suddenly come over certain people. t night, when the report was caliing for action, several members had stoutly main- tained that they did not know what the evi- dence was, as it had been kept out of their way and they hud not been given an oppor- tunity to read it. ow, when it was desired to place the evidence on record, where it would stay for all time. and where anybody could see it at any time, the statement was made that it had been printed and was a matter of public knowl- edge, and there was no occasion for further publicity. He did not like that way of do- ing business, and insisted that the evidence £0 into the record, Keckley insisted that the people had a right to know what was in the evidence. He said that the committee had been mis- represented, and that he had personally been made the subject of attack. He was accused last evening of being the most bit- fer partisan in the house, and had also been charged with going back on his party after pledging fealty on the stump. He wanted it understood thas he was not enongh rtisan to wink at jobbery and corrupe id he was always in favor of unearthe ing rascality, whether found in his party or any other. Horst call record, u th attention to the fact that it ch the floor last pight that Rosew wet with the committee and as- sisted in formulating its report. He de- d to state publicly that, although Sher- 1 had given it out that it was a fact, he anted to say that M. Rosewater had not met with the committee, either then or any other occasiou, and had not had anything to do with the work of the com- mittee, and any such statement as that mede by the gentleman from Red Willow was absolutely false and entirely without foundation Oukley then took the floor to ease his mind. “How did it happen,” he asked, that Tue Bee reporter got possession of this evidence before the house got itt 1f, as you say, Tur Bir was not on the inside with the committee, how did Mr. Hunt of Tu t hold of that evidence and priat it 1t was the property of this houset” “1f he got it,” replied Horst, “I don’t know how he got it.” Beal #hought that the people were en- titled to know all the facts in connection with the state of affairs on which the report was based, and said he should insist on the evidence being made a part of the journal, Burns declared that if there was going to be an attempt to print it he should insist on the printing of 10,000 copies in pamphlet form, and then it would have full publicity. He thought it better to print it that way than to print 1t in the house journal Woods declared that the printing of the evidence in the journal would mot prevent the priuting of 10,000 or 100,000 copies in pamphiet form to satisfy the gentleman from Lancaster. Stevens held that as a matter of simple ustice to the committee the full report and the evidence should go into the journal, and to the journal it went, despite the strenuou opposition of the Lancaster delegation.
