More Time Is Required to Ar- range for a Fitting Display. ST. LOUIS, May 1.—The following statement was given out this evening by President David R. Francls of the Loui- siana Purchase Exposition Company: The sundry civil bill, which passed the House several wecks ago and is now going through the Ssnate, contains an appropriation of $1,048,000 to provide for a Government ex- hibit, a special Indlan exhibit and the addi- tional cost of the Government building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. It was deemed advisable to have the date of the fair definite- ly fixed in that bill, in the event any change from 1003 should be decided upon. . For many months past the fair has virtually been post- poned for one year. A decided majority of the directors prefer 1904, and have for six months or more. The repeated requests of both domes- tic and foreign exhibitors for postponement; advices from foreign governmenis to the ef- fect that they had not sufficient time in which to make preparation for a pepresentative dis- play in 1903; the statement of Governor Taft that the Philippines would not be able to in- stall their exhibits in a creditable manner if the exposition should not be postponed to 1904; the expressed fear of the Government archi- tect that he could not procure material for a Government building by 1903, and the fact that the general public have for months past con- sidered postponement a foregone conclusion, were some of the reasons that moved the executive committee to authorize me to in- forra the National Commission that any action of Congress changing the time of the exposition from 1903 to 1904 would be acceptable. The telegram from. President Carter of the National Commission was received at 3:30 this afternoon, Senator Cockrell wired us this afternoon that the sundry civil bill would pass the Senate on Saturday, and if a change of date was to be incorporated therein Congress should be im- mediately advised of the wishes of the local corporation. There was not sufficient time in which to call a._meeting of the board of direc- tors to take action on the subject, consequently the executive committee authorized me to ex- press their wishes to the effect that a postpone- ment should be ordained by Congress. After receipt of Carter's telegram I framed a reply, setting forth the conclusions of the executive committee, but before sending the message made efforts to get the views of every director in the city. Up to this hour over firty ! of them have been consulted, and without an exception every one favored a postponement. :hhn\'P_ therefore, replied to President Carter of 5 have asked that our conclusions be subs 10" Comaress amd "to_the.

An additional year for preparation will enable us to hold such an exposition as ill be worthy of the great event we propose to celebrate. be truly International character and will, in my judgment, be par- ticipated in by every civilized country on the globe. We have no more time than wlill be needed in which to make required preparationg for the proper accommodation of the thousands of visitors who will be wflxln our gates. Our streets and boulevards should be improved, the city water should be clarified and our city em. beilished in such a manner as will make a good impression upon the representatives of every country. — e Consular Service in Cuba. WASHINGTON, May 1—The House Committee on Foreign Affairs to-day of- fered a favorable report on the bill of Representative Hitt of Illinois, establish- ing a United States diplomatic and con- service in Cuba, with a United States Minister at $10,000; secretary of le- gation, 0; second secretary, $1500 Consul General at Havana, $3000: Consuls at Cienfuegos and Santiago, $3000 each, The bill differs from the plan proposed in the Senate. which allows the Minister a salary of $12,000 and adds a Siatinaan.

However, Mr. Aitken, recognizing their superior beauty when they were here last year, and for some time life-sized plaster busts of “Sport” and “Flossie,” as a sur- prise for the fascinating Maxine, have been under cover in his studio.
