CmoAoo, Xov. 19. The National Nation-al World's Fair Commission aj.m-bled aj.m-bled again jrestenlay, and had an interating session. The first business was the report of the committee on classification, which was received, but no action taken. While a n. port torn Secretary Secre-tary Dickinson was being read the I'onimWslonerg had an opportunity to think abont what they are here for, and the more thoughtful ones UIcovirel that there will be three most important things for their consideration. con-sideration. These are, first, tae settlement or the site question; second, sec-ond, the establishment or bureaus to taLe the place or standing; committees; com-mittees; third, the amalgamation or the po era possessed hy the local directors di-rectors and the Commission Into one head, that head being Dirtctor-General Dirtctor-General Davis. These are the three main questions and nothing more important for determination has come before ttie Commission. It Is generally believed that this is to be the great wind-up clash between the two bodies. Unless a great many canteens of Bwcet oil are toured on the troubled w atcrs, there will be a great diversity of opinion on all thec questions. Commissioner Mercer or Wyoming Wyom-ing has been preparing a lake front .last during the reading or Sir. Dickinson's report. He was wotting wott-ing moH industriously, out Just before be-fore he had a chance to throw his bomb Commissioner MeKenzIe offered of-fered the following: Besotted That all reflations relat Te to die si e bd rrferred to the comvi tee on pounds and buildings without debate. There was a bomb in Mr. Mercer's iwu camp, and he immedUtely Iropped work on bis resolution and iot the floor with a protest. Vice-President Be Young, who was out of the room when the resolution reso-lution was offered, returned hastily and immediately moved to lay the resolution ou the table. Governor vValleror Connecticut seconded the motion. It was a very irritating hlng, thb word "site," and the comtnlssloner wanted to cet rid of it, to when Mr. McKeuzie moved an tmeudment that "plans for public wildings" be substituted in place of the word "kite" in his original resolution reso-lution Mr. De Young withdrew his notion to tab'e, and the resolution passed. Mr. Mentr then Introduced a resolution t) the eOect tltat no other building thau the "fine arts" be puv n the lake fron. President l'ai-ner l'ai-ner orJerul it referred to the buildings build-ings committee. Then the California commissioner, Do Youui,-, created the sensation o( he day by the introduction or the tollowing scorching preamble and resolution: WnEatus.

This was followed by a small uabble, but the resolution was ordered or-dered printed for consideration today. to-day. Last evening's VW rays that Commissioner lie Young or California Cali-fornia is very augry at the remarks which Local Director Baker made concerning him before the Congressional Congres-sional committee yesterday. Mr. Baker, referring to the classification committee, remarked that the work of the ixtcrt professors bad been uperseued by that of "an Irish editor ed-itor from the Pacific Coast." This and othir remarks of Mr. Baker about the National Commission in general were delivered in a very sarcastic manner. "Baker's speech was the most la-temperate la-temperate I ltave heard uttered in the whole W orld's Fair movement," said Commi-sioner Thatcher of New York today. Other commissioners commis-sioners spuke In a similar vein and Mr. Baker's reputation in tome re "pects is ruined with them. The California commissioner is considered consid-ered one of the ablest men in the national body and one of Its lead .rs. LIVELY VHA?aLE. Chicago, Nev. 19. There was a lively wrangle in the World's Fair commlosioa today over the passago of a resolution by the executive comrdltec, calling on the Secretary ot the Treasury not to pay bills by thu foreign aflairs committee, of which CMunccy M.

(Jovernor Waller, or Connecticut, B member of the foreign affairs committee, also objected strenuously strenuous-ly to the reflection cast upon the committee by tho resolution. He raid the executive committee, was also wrong and that it has nothing to do with the standing committees in a supervisory way. He Intro-duced Intro-duced a resolution, setting forth that It Is the sense or the commission commis-sion that the committee b taken noSction Jurtirylng the resolution of the executive committee.

Commissioner Allen or New York then moved a resolution, re-luestlngthe re-luestlngthe executive committee to either expunge the unfortunate resolution from its proceedings or ollicially disavow any Intent of disrespect dis-respect to the foreign affairs committee. com-mittee. After a lengthy talk both resolutions went over. McKenzie and Britton, members or the executive committee, made addresses, regretting that their absolution abso-lution bad been to worded as to give a raise impression or their iutenlion in this matter.
