PECK American World’s Fair Commissioner Replies to the Charges of Extravagance. PARIS, April 21.—Regarding the demand in Congress for a detailed statement of the expenditures of the United States Paris Commission Commissioner General Peck said to-day: The statement sent to Congress was prepared under the act of Congress by the official dis- bursing officer, who has had long experlence in department’ matters. As to my personal traveling expenses, 1 have visited Paris hefore the present just twice in the performance of my official duties, since my appointment twen- ty months ago. at a cost to the Government of less than 3500, Instead of the large amount published, which probably referred to travel- ing expenses of the heads of departments and experts in the United States and to Parls. We have been obliged to collect our exhibits in every part of the United~ States, involving necessarily considerable traveling expense to the corpe of experts. This does not apply to any other great nation, their territories be- ing comparatively smail and nearer Paris and saving large freight expenses. Yet the appro- priation df the United States is less in propor- tion to our exhibits’ areas than the amount provided by any other great nation. There has been most consclentious economy practiced throughout. yRadidt SR e T WORSHIPS WITH THE POOR. Czar Nicholaus Surprises a Church Congregation.
