Nearly every uilding constructed by the exposition roper in the great White City is practically ompleted, and, while general confusion still eigns in most of the structures, 1t is in the atter of installation of the exhibits and not delay which can be attributed to any fail- ire of the construction department. Indeed, 0 Chief Burnham and President Hiegin hotham must be given most of the credit for fthe phonomenal labors which have converted | a barren park nto an artistic city in the brief space of eighteen months. The difficulties encountered have been ex- eptional and harassing, the mest severe winter known for many years to the building trades coming just at a time when favorable weather seemed ind ble to the success of the international exposition. For ks | Ht was almost impossible to work on the out- side of the World's fair structures and the heavy snow storms of the winter did much lamaze to the roofs of several of these arch itectural teiumphs more thuu one oc- casion. we on F Held Buck by the Weather, In the obrief respites afforacd by the weather from time to time, howoey very resource of capital and executive ability was | brought to bear to hasten the work, and although the unfavorable elements haye vaged almost constant warfare, like a veng ful being of inteligence, up to the very opening day, the only significant effect has been to delay the installation of exhibits and vetard the completion of several struct- | ures, which were rather the artistic trim- mings of afterthought, than a component part of the World's fair. The great build- ings, which constitute the vital conception of the international exposition and which are a monument to the indomitable executive | ability of Chief Burnham and his assistants, have been completed for weeks, ready for the installation of exhibits, are the N - factures and Liber ilding, Machin- ery hall, 2 hall, Fisheries building, Art builai Woman's building, Forestr building, Mines and Mining, Horuicultura’y Agricultural, Transportation building, Ad- ministration building and the United States overnment building. Of the score of state buildings, nearly all are comploted, or noar- ing completion and the Midway Plaisance shows a dozen of Japunese, ‘Turkish, Son. danege and other typical villages, which _ Waxssprung up like mushrooms i a few ‘weeks or day Manufictures and Liberal Arts Bailding.

Mines wnd Mining. The Mines and Mining building is simply a wilderness of boxes, unfinished booths and unpacked exhibits. It will be one month at the inside before the building is in proper order. Throughout the entire length and breadth of the buildi there is but one exhibit in complete readiness and that s the one which came from the farthest end of the earth—from New South Wale The delay is due directly 1o the tardin of exhibitors in forwarding their goods. The building was finished completely over cight mouths ago, and has been dy for hibitors since that time. The ¢ e Utah and Idaho were at noon today nothing but heaps of dirty boxes. Some of the boxes had been unpacked, but not many, and nothing had been done toward arranging the exhibits.

New Mexico wi in no better shape, while Chili wus far ahead of any of the American states. Its exhibit is not yet arranged, but it is gett very rapidly. Noue of the other foreign countries in this building arve in anything like presentable shape.

MONDAY MORNING, NEW DEMOCRATIC TARIEF Ohanges Proposed to Be Made Under the New Order of Things. SUGAR BOUNTIES WILL BE ABOLISHED Wool Will Be Placed on the Free List but the Great Manufacioring Interests Will Not Be Affectad— Pretty Plan, WASHINGTON BUiEat 13 IFOURTEENTI STUEET, Wasmisaron, D, C., April 80, Work has slready been bogun upon the administrative” tarif bill which is to be run through congress at the extra session, which will be called in September, under the spur of President Clevelana. There are to be no herings by committec on ways and means, as has been been the custon when tari® bills are unde thecourse of preparation. Chairman Springer and Secretary Carlisle contend that there are w the room of the ways and means com mitte the test anl statemoents of manufacturers, d and others inter- ested in the tariff, when the Mils, MeKinley, Springer and other mensures re prepared, and that they are sulicient have been sent out to manu others interested, soliciting views upon thesubjectof tarff revision 1d asking that their statements be sub- mitted at an early day in writing. In the preparation of their new tari® bill Chuivman Springer an 1 Messes, MeMillin of Wilson of West Virginia, #nd the one or two other members of the committes bill with Sec ¢ Tur Bee, } the house mny ors taken turers and wito are at worlk upon the tary Carlisle, are depending almost wholly upon fizures furnished them by David Wells and some othor democrat theorists who never manafactured a dollar's worth of goods or protuced anything off paper. The statements of the Treasury department are s0 being studied, for the condition of the finances of the country is the most important feature of the work. How to make cuts into the duties to meet the pledges of the democratic party and at the same time not reduce the government's income below the requivements of current cxpenses is the greatest obstacle in the way of the work, and that is the feature which all ackuowl- edge is 1o cause most troub! Your correspondent is able to outline some of the most important features of the bill as it will be reported to the house committee on ways and means, and to vouch forits ac curacy, the information coming from the tw leading spirits who ave preparing the measure, Wool Will Bo Put on the Free List. ‘Wool will be placed on the free list and there will be a heavy cut in worst and common woolens. This was promised in the ¢ platfor.s, Iron ore will goupon the free list,and tin also. The ill be a duty retained upon pig iron, although scrap iron may be made free. The duty on coal will either be removed outright or cut in half: probably it will be removed entirely. There will be a big cut in lumber. The sugar bounty will positively be abolished. ‘The duty on Sumatra wrappers, increased.from 75 cents to $2 a pound by the McKinley bill to protect the Connecticut tobacco industry, will be abolished, as it is held that it helps the pro- ducers in but two counties, The sugar problem is making much embar- rassment to the committee. It is unani: mously agreed that the bounty shall be aboi- ished by the bill which will pass the house, although it is expected that it may be put back again in the senate; but what to do about a duty on the refined or gross article is the question. Refined sugar now pays a half cent per pound. This is done to protect the labor involved fn refining. Raw sugar is absolutely free, It is contended by the com- mittee that a half cent per pound can be put upou raw sugar and it will not increase the price to the consumer, as that mugh is now made by the trust through the duty on re- flned sugar. It is probable that a half cent will be placed upon the raw article. Sugar is so popular that it affords a tempting s of raising revenu Will Not Muke a Blg Cat. an be stated with positiveness that the reductions of duties upon the leading article: of manufacture will not be great. In th first pluce the revenue is needed; then it is acknowledged that a ruinous cut could not be passed through either branch of congress. By cutting off the sugar bounty about #18.- 000,000 or $20,000,000 annually will be saved. 1f a half cent a pound is added to the raw artcle there will be put 1nto the treasury from the two sources of the one article sugar wbout 40,000,000 or £50,000.000 a y "This gives a good margin to begin with, The reduction of the duties on woolens and car- pets and certain other articles will stimulate importations and thus in- crease the vrevenues at the cost of our industries.

Mr. Carlisle canuot, under the law, refuse the payment of the sugar bounties. He can suspend payments temporarily, but on the ground set forth by Mr. Atkinson, who forgets that an execu- tive officer must carry out the laws as he without regard to his own roclivities.

To a reporter Mr. McHugh said: “I did not come to Sioux City because | of the fuilures, but simply had to stop off here enroute to Nebraska Itis natural that I should make some inquiry into local conditions, and I have done so I have talked with & number | of bankers and am satisfied that every na tional bank in Sioux City is as solia as a rock, and that none have been affeeted to any extent. The bankers of Sioux City are men of integrity and have had lone experi enceand, us o consequence, did not become involved to a sufticient extent to involve their businers. 1 have known, too, that the banks here determined to stand by each other in this crisis and that one could not be broken unless they il were. and that would be next to an impossibility. \When | fivst assumed the duties of my present posi tion I made a tour of the national banks of Towa and found that they held about £400,000 of paper given by the institutions involved in the failures here, which they had discounted on the representation that the Union Loan and i'vust company held | ample collateral to secure all the paper, | doubted its value, and while § had no thority to investigate the company’s affairs, I determined to do so if possible, and secured the approval of the comptroller of the cur. reney in the undertaking. 1 came here and lled on the Union Loan and Trust company and asked its officers to let me go over its col laterals and satisfy myself of their value by a personal inspection.
