Chicago Will Also Spend $5,000,000 Permanent Improvements. in A TEATURE OF ARTIFICIAL WATERWAYS PART It FBOM A STAFF COnUESrONDENT.l Chicago, Sept. 27. There is not much to e added to w hat The Dispatch of Satur day contained regarding the state of the Exposition site. As far as the other build ings are concerned, the great halls of Man ufactures and the Liberal Arts, 788xlGS8, and to cost $831,255, the mighty temples of Agriculture and Machinery, and the several annexes, the art galleries and so on, they exist on paper only as yet. For some of them not even the ground is ready, and this leads me to the changes that liavc been made, and are still mak ing, to fit Jackson Park for Exposi tion purposes. In a little pavilion by the lake Fide in that part of the park winch has not vet been taken from the people it is to be closed to the people on October 1, I be lieve a man in a white jacket behind a 5elancholy temperance bar why is it teetotalism is always so unattractive? who t-erved me w ith ginger ale, and had the hon esty to tell me that the five-cent kind would quench thirst jtt-t as well as the twenty-me-cent varietv with a foreign label, aHo remarked that tlie Exposition would have been a good bit further jtdanced if the designers of the grounds had not been bent upon making all the hills valleys, the vallcvs hills, the dry land water, and the water land. And a couple or days spent upon the site con vinced me of the justness of this criticism. I noticed one place in particular at the northern end of the grounds, where one set of men were filling up a canal, and another Fet of men not 50 feet away were digging a river, said to be 1H feet deep! Of course, the land as it originally lay was not suitable for the grand purpose in view, for a good deal of it was swamp, I am told, and the made ground amounts to many acres, but from the workmen about the ground, as well a from my own observation, I gathered that home money and labor, not to speak of t'ie even more valuable iime, might have l-en saved by adapting the plans more gen erally to the lay of the land. "Water will cat a bigger fisure in this exposition, I should say. than in any previous one. VATEK WIIO. BE PLENTIFUL. There will be, in addition to the embraces of Lake Michigan, a host of artificial and Fcmi-artifical waterwavs intersecting the p rounds of the Exposition. A canal from the lake w ill lead from the northern side of the lesser pier, in the lee of which will be llic naval exhibit, a lull. sized model of a coast line battle ship of the first class, to a teries of lagoons which will surround a vfooded island in the center of the grounds. Other canals will debouch into basins and tmall lakes in various directions, so that almost every building in tho ground will have a water tront, and it will be possible to make a verx satisfactory tour of the Ex position by water. The grading, dredging, digging of canals and lakes, and the prepar ation of the site havecost over $300,000. Only an expert in such matters could answ er the question which suggests itself as Foon as the Exposition topic is broached, imraely, is the work as far advanced as it should be? "Workmen and foremen about the grounds told me that if the work went on at its present pace the "World's Fair would be ready by the appointed time, and with some month to spare. The Exposi tion is being built by contract. The con tracts call for fulfillment six: months before the date set for the opening, which is May, 3W)3, thus allowing the Exposition Director ate time to remedy any defects or to com plete unfinished work. The contractors are all under heavy bonds, and the penalties for breach of contract are plainlv de fined and in large amounts. The di rectors of the Exposition with whom I discussed this phase of the matter were comfortable in the unanimous belief that the Fair was well under way, the prospect most encouraging, and the only considera ble danger was that the people of the earth, as soon as they became fully and iinallv coninced of the Fair's genuineness, "would make such a mad rush to get there with their exhibits that the present di mensions of the Exposition would prove in adequate. THE OFFICIALS IIAKD AT "WORK. The men with shovels and picks, the men who hold down the plows, the carpenters and the artisans, and the executive officers of the Exposition, whose work is plainly to be een in Jackson Park, are not the only one- laboriuc in Chicago for the great fair. Go down LaSalle street to the corner of Adams and enter the gigantic building of lUuid, McXally & Co., the publishers; go up in trie elevater to 1 lorget wnicn floor, it is hard to remember floors in these tre mendous Chicago buildings, and you will find the clerical force and director ate of the Exposition, to the number of limidreds of men and women as hard at work with pens and ink, as the brawny fellows vith spades aud saws in Jackson Park. The Expo-ition has two whole floors of Utand, McNally & Co.'s building, contain ing scores of rooms, and another floor in that wonderful office building called "The Xiookery," across the street The department with which Lbecame ac quainted is that of Publicity and Promotion, of which Moses P. Hahdy is the chief and E. E. A. Dorr, an eminent Pennsylvania newspaper man, bis assistant Something of the magnitude of this department can be gleaned from the fact that there are 60,000 people on the mailing list, to whom inter esting statistics and general information about the Fair are sent regularly, and 17,000 newspapers in all parts of the world which are kept informed in like manner. It was irom Mr. Dorr that I obtained an exact statement of the financial condition of the Exposition and all the figures, in fact, that have appeared in this article. DOUBLED UP THE CAPITAL. The stock of the Exposition Company is 10,000,000. It w as f 5,000,000 at first, but several months ago, owing to the enlarge ment of the plans, the amount was in ci eased to 510,000,000. Of this $5,595,440 have already been subscribed. The subscribers, citizens of Chicago, number 28,000. As yet CO per cent only of the stock has been called for, and the amount collected is over S3, 000, 000. It was on condition that 53,000,000 of the stock should be paid up that the city of Chicago agreed to issue $5,000,000 bonds for Exposition use, and this issue ot bonds will take plai-e immediately. Of course, these bonds will be snapped up at once. The United States Government appropri ated $1,500,000. The assets of the Exposi tion in the treasury, broadly speaking, in cash are close upon ten millions of dollars. If the original plans of an Exposition to cost $10,000,000 or $12,000,000 had been ad hered to the financial resources in sight now would be ample. But the plans have expanded, and unloresecn expenditures have been made neoessarv, with the result that the Exposition will cost Chicago at least $17,000,000 or $1H,000,000. Sow the Expo sition directorate intend to ask Congress for $5,000,000 as a loan to be secured -by the first gate receipts. A syndicate of Chicago bankers is w illing to advance this $5,000,000 now, but thev ak 10 per cent, or five and a half million dollars worth of tickets for five millions. Congress, therefore, will be appealed to this winter; and it is said that the Western Congressmen, at all events, irrespective of politics, will vote for the loan. As to the teceipts from the Expositiou.it is estimated that M.000,000 will be realized from conces sions anil privileges, $2,000,000 from sal vage that is, from the rale of building ma terials, etc., aRcr the Exposition is over aad $7,000,000 Irom gate receipts. Sobody in Chicago expects to get anything back upon the stock subscribed, either interest or principal, and no subscriber is likely to be disappointed. THE CITY'S ACTIVE PART. It must also be remembered in fairness to Chicago that outside of the subcriptions of her citizens, and the direct bonding of the city for Exposition purposes, not lesi than $5,000,000 will be appropriated from the city treasury for the improvement of the citv, in order to make the best showingpos stble in the world's sight in 1893. The Park Commissioners, who control the parks, boulevards, etc, contemplnte special ex penditure of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 in the beautifying of the city, and the muni cipal authorities are 'being aided by a special improvement organization of citi 7ens. One cannot be in Chicago a day without observing the harmonious and whole-souled interest of Chicagoans in the great Fair. From bankers, newspaper proprietors, and influential citizens generally," down to the newsboys, Chicago's neart and soul are wrapped np in the great undertaking. The 28,000 subscribers to the Exposition stock represent all classes and degrees. This en thusiasm and sustained effort can hardly fail to be crowned with success. After a few days' stay in Chicago, you feel that the en thusiasm is contagious. By way of completing the financial show ing of the Exposition up to date, it may be well to give the amounts appropriated by the States and Territories, as follows: Arizona $ 30,000 California A 300,000 Colorado 100,000 Delaware ju,uiw Idaho 20,000 Illinois 800.000 Indiana 73,000 Iowa 50,000 Maine 40,000 Massachusetts 73,000 Michigan 100,000 Minnesota 50,000 Missouri 150,000 Montana 50,000 Xow Hampshire 25,000 Xew Jersey 20,000 New Mexico 25,000 North Carolina , 25,000 Xorth Dakota 25000 Ohio 100,000 Pennsylvania 300,000 Rhode Island... 25,o:0 Vermont 20,000 Washington 100000 West Virginia 40,000 Wisconsin C5.000 Wyoming 30,000 $,700,000 It must be added that a number of States have yet to make appropriations, and in Vermont and Minnesota, a special session of the Legislature in the former and a conven tion in the latter, arc to be held for the pur pose ot increasing, ine amount onginauy appropriated. SO LAGGARDS IN THE HATTER. In other States, for instance in Texas, Kansas, South Dakota and Arkansas, where the Legislatures failed to make any appro priations, State conventions have been held and money raised for the purpose by special stock subscriptions of sums ranging from $10,000 to $200,000. Altogether the State appropriations will amount to not less than $5,000,000. The foreign nations participating in the Fair have, up to date, made the following appropriations: Great Britain, $125,000; France, $400,000; Germanv, $250,000; Japan, $500,000: Mexico. $750,000; Dauish "West In dies, $10,000; Jamaica, $10,000; Trinidad, $10,000; Cuba, $25,000; Brazil, $445,000; Ecuador, $125,000; Peru, $100,000; Chile, $100,000; Honduras, $20,000; Bolivia, 150, 000; British Honduras, $10,000; Nicaragua, $20,000; Costa Rica, $50,000; Guatemala, $120,000; United States of Colombia, $100, 000, and Salvador, $30,tjp0. The following countries have accepted the invitation to be present, but have not jet voted appropria tions: Spain, Denmark. Norway, Kussia, Persia, China, Turkey, Siam, Egypt, San Domingo, Porto Rico, Hayti, Belgium, Zan zibar, Venezuela, Dutch Guiana, Argentina and Uruguay. Hepburn JoHJfS. OCEAN VESSELS COLLIDE. The Clrcasula and Daylight Sleet and the Former Is Disabled. New York, Sept 27,. The Anchor line steamer Circassia returned to port to-day with a large hole in her starboard bow. She collided Saturday night about 10 o'clock with the schooner Daylight, bound from Boston to Philadelphia. The Circassia was in charge of Chief Officer Italston at the time. Italston says that the steamer was going along slowly. The night was dark and hazy. Suddenly he and the men on the platform looked out and saw a white light directly ahead. He was in a quandry as to what action should be taken, when a green ligh t appeared on the unseen vessel. The bow of the Circassia was set to port In a few moments the unknown showed a red light and was directly under the steamer's biw. The engines were reversed, but before tney had any effect the crash came. A hole four feet square was smashed into the Cir cassian starboard bow. The jib-boom and bowsprit of the schooner were carried away. The Daylight proceeded on her way. The Circassia returned for repairs. There was no little commotion among the steamer's 120 passengers when the crash came. They will remain on the vessel while she is being re paired. This will take but a day or two, for the steamer will not go on the dry dock. A BUNCO BTEEBEB AEEESTED Charged "With Robbing an Albany Man of 810,000 a Tear Ago. 2ew York, Sept 27. Special. Thomas O'Brien, an all-around crook and confidence man, known the world over and the associate of "Hungry Joe," the prince of bunco steerers,was arrested last night by two of Inspector Byrnes detectives on a benoh warrant issued at the instance of District Attorney Andrew Hamilton, of Albany county. The warrant charges O'Brien with robbing a wealthy citizen of Albany of $10,000 in a bunco game about a year and a half ago. O'Briei and George Post were operating at that time in Albany. O'Brien made the acquaintance of the victim, whose .name is withheld, and invited him to inspect some goods in his apartments. A game was in progress. The victim took a hand and was induced to believe that he would win $10, 000 by the turn of a card. They refused to lethimplav unless he could produce $10, 000. The victim left the house, drew $10, 000 from the bank and returned. No sooner had he entered the room than the confidence men knocked him down, robbed him and fled. Post escaped to South America and all trace of O'Brien was lost until yester day. Old Lady Stranded In New York. New York, Sept 28.

An Admission That the Plumed Will FrouaMy Be Named. Knight A WAEM ADJIIBER OP MA JOE FKINJiEI Chicago, Sept. 27. The Herald contains the following interview: "I don't see how a Grant could vote for James G. Blaine for President or even favor his nomination for that office on the Republican ticket If a man should call you a thief and a pickpocket, or call your father a thief and pickpocket, you would not be likely to think well enough of that man to aid him in securing a public office. That is the reason a Grant could not vote for James G. Blaine for any office. " Those are the words uttered by Jesse E. Grant in an interview with a reporter at the Auditorium yesterday. Jesse Grant is compactly built and under the medinm height. His complexion seems to have been acquired by outdoor exercise, and he wore a broad-brimmed, black slouch hat This hat was not arranged in the military style, but the whole crown stood up with out a dent in it, giving the wearer the ap pearance of the practical "Western miner that he is. In conversation Mr. Grant is extremely modest, but impresses one as being a solid, substantial young business man of the West who is taking pains to travel through this world on his own merits, and not on account of distinguished parentage. WILL NEVER VOTE FOR BIAINE. "No, sir; Blaine will never receive a vote from me for any political office, nfter the way in which he and his friends attacked the" personal honor of my father here in the Chicago convention, continued Mr. Urant in answer to further queries. "Blaine and his friends virtuallj charged my father with being a thief and scoundrel and being no better than a common pickpocket, and can it be expected that I could forget those malicious charges? There was no occasion for Blaine and his friends to enter into any such personalities. But under these cir cumstances you can easily see why a Grant naturally has an antagonism to Blaine. "Blaine seems to be talked of for the Presidental nomination everywhere, and if be wants the nomination there is no doubt he can get it," continued Mr. Grant "He can get a solid delegation from California to the National Convention. Everything is Blaine on the coast; they have nothing particularly against Harrison, but it is just simply everybody talks Blaine. If he be made the nominee of course I could not vote for him. If I were a politician I could vote for Blains or anybody else on the ticket, but I am not a politician But it doesn't make much difference with other people how I may vote, as I am not in politics I am a plain, everyday miner, and have been lor ten years. M'KIXLEY HAS FIRST CHOICE. And in a spirit of fun, Mr. Grant added: "I guess I'll have to vote for the Alliance candidate for President, as I am too good a Republican to vote the Democratic ticket." Mr. Grant said he regarded Major Mc Kinlev, of Ohio, as the greatest man in the nation to-day and thought his high, tariff bill was just the thing the country needed. He said he would rather see McKinley made the Presidental nominee than any other man in the party. Mr. Grant is ac companied by his wife, who is the daugh ter of ex-Senator Chaffee, of Colorado. Their child and maid are also with them. They left for the East last night They will visit Mr. Grant's mother in New York until the 2d -or 3d of Octocer and then Jesse Grant and family, his mother and his brother, Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., will come to Chicago; to be in attendance at the unveiling of trie' Grant equestrian statue in Lincoln Park. They will arrive in Chicago several days be fore the unveiling. A.
