Paris, Nov. 12. The exposition closed
tonight with the evening illumination,
rive tickets weie bold for one admis
sion. There Were few visitors In the
davtime, tickets lacking purchasers nt
a sou each.
The work of removing the exhibits
began after midnight. No vestige will
be left of the groat exposition except
the Immense hot houses, on the north
bank ot the Seine, and tho art palaces.
The prefect of the Seine submitted
to the municipal council today a
scheme to demolish nil the buildings
on .the Champs De Mars and thu
Trocnrdeo. The center of the grounds
will be maintained In the form of
gaidcns, lor the embellishment of the
i'lty, while the wide border will be sold
for building lots for the erection of
mansions and hotels. The slate Is
asked to abandon lis right to use the
site for future expositions.
The closing days or Hie exposition
have been marked by wholesale bail
iff seizures of the properties of a
number or concession holders, chielly
lestaurant keepers and proprietors of
side shows, who have failed to meet
their financial obligations.
The exposition authoilties contract
lor the demolition of the American pa
vilion, provides for it disappearance
nt an early period. Weak will begin
almost Immediately and Commission
er General Peck has ariangod with
th'i railroad company to provide for
he rapid, transportation to Havre oC

board tljo UniUd States uuxlll'ary
cruiser Piairie, which Is expected to
arrive there shortly. The railroad
company will place sevei.il cars at the
L'nlted Slates commissioner's dispo
sal. All the lUtlngs, etc., of tho
American constructions will lie sold
at auction as soon as possible. Low
prices will be realized. Tile handsome
facades, which cost large sums origl
. Tially, will bring very little money.
The bids thus tnr received aro Insig
nificant. The American building of
the machinery annex, at Vlneennes,
built through the generosity of tii fow
American cxhlbtiois, has been sold,
with Its power plant to n Manchester
linn.
The United States Commission.
All tho member of the t'nited State.-;
commission are anxious to return
home. They are working hard and
hope their labors will be terminated by
T)ee. 15, in order to enable ilium to
.spend Christmas in America. Mr.
Peck has engaged passage lor himself
and family on the American line
.steamer St. Louis, which sails JXc. 13.
The closing of the exposition was
celebrated in the chamber of deputies,
this afternoon by the unanimous adop
tion of a motion of M. CiervHle-fteuchi-republican,
representing one of ihe
divisions of the island of tiii.ulcluiipe,
congratulating the organizers and col
laborators on its success.
The booming of a cannon fioiu tho
llrst story of the KIiTel toiver an
nounced that the exposition of lOflu had
ceased to exist, li ended in n blaze oi
illumination, tho llnttl eent being cele
brated by a night fete. The attend
ance, however, was small, visitors be
ing kept away by a cold, dilzzllng rnln
fall.
The wisdom of the authoiiiles In re
fusing to prolong the exposition fur
ther, as was warmly mged In many
quarters, a little time ago, was vindi
cated by an examination today or the
buildings. Many were found to bo in
a lamentable condition, even the oill
olal struotuies lacking much of tho
original stucco and paint, while sever
al foreign pavilions, chiefly of plaster
construction, demonstrate tho illmsy
character of work that Is unequal to
battle- with autumn winds and humid
ity, to say nothing of winter storms.
Tho Idea of their permanent retention
Is absurd.
Ofllcinl Statistics.
Olllclal statistics show- that the ex
position was a. glgantlo success fio'ui
the point of view of attendance, which
was double that of tho exposition of
1S89, when L'o.lSl.'JT.I passed thu gates.
When the gates of the exposition of 1UU0
closed this evening more than r.o.ooi) noo
persons had passed through. The llrlt
ish and Uolgluus headed the Um u ismi
In point of number; but this year tint
CJermuns were llrst and the Helgluns
second, with the Urltlsh far behind.
Americans also formed a very notice
able contingent. Indeed, they were im
mensuiubly more numerous than at thu
previous exposition. Tho record pay
ing day this year brought nut more
than UOO.ooo visitors, as compaied with
a maximum of 3:t3,!l77 In 18.su.
A curious scene was witnessed at the
exposition gates shortly benno 8 o'clock
when the authorized ticket bureaus,
which earlier In thu day hud been bell
ing tickets for two sous, reduced the
prlco to one. The stieet hawkers, In
dignant at this, attached cards to their
coats Inscribed, 'Cltvu you a ticket for
nothing." For a time collisions be
tween the street hawkers and tho em
ployes of thu exposition seemed likely
to result, but the police Intervened and
averted trouble. M. Ilauotuux, former
alil8tr of foielgn alfulis, in un itrtlole,
entitled "The Hnlnncc Sheet of the im
position," says:
"France expended two or three hun

Prof. Commons Advocates Compul
sory Work as a Cure for Pauper
ism, and Points to the Keconstruc

nnd the Return of Labor to the
Country Districts as the Most
Likely Solution of the Question.

"Washington, Nov. 12. The problem
of the unemployed was discussed be
fore the Industrial commission todny
by Prof. John H. Commons, of the
bureau of economic, research, New
York city. He reviewed labor condi
tions here and abroad, advocated
compulsory work to relieve pauperism
and pointed to the reconstruction ot
agricultural conditions and the return
of labor to the country districts as
the must likely solution. lie com
mended the labor councils In foreign
countries, representing all the inter
ests Involved, partly appointive by tho
government to assist In labor legis
lation. lie contended thut tile United States
commissioner of labor as an adminis
trative olllclal was not competent to
draw conclusions from the data com
piled by the department of labor,
fnemployment, he thought, was the
most serious problem of all labor prob
lems. He held that the questions of
unemployment and of prices of com
modities go hand in hand; that in
times of depression, unemployment
becomes gi eater and during prosperity
diniinlsheo.
The Eight-Hour Day.
Prof. Commons said the argument
for the eight hour day was to bo
based not on the lessening of unem
ployment, but to other considerations,
namely, more time for mind improve
ments, etc.'., necessary for American
citizenship. The effect of the mini
mum wage was to increase the num
ber oi the unemployed. He held that
religious bodies for governing chari
ties anil employment should not be en
couraged unless under strict state
supervision, as belnsr too indiscrimi
nate, "gullible" and prejudiced on re
ligious lines.
These bodies, be believed, encouraged
pauperism. Tramps, he Maid, should
be compelled to learn some out of door
trade. Almshouses. th witness sug
gested, need not have the stigma or
pauperism but for the tramps they
shelter. They could be made actual
labor colonies. Ho urged the divorc
ing nf polities and employment. lie
believed that Immigration which
comes to this country mostly In times
nf prosperity was the most evident
and obvious cause of unemployment.
