Interview With an American
Commissioner to the
Great Exposition.

Now to Make Up fur
Lost lime.

Ferdinand Feck, of Chicago, Com?
missioner-General for the United
States to the Paris Exposition of WOO,
in conversation with a reporter, said:
??France appropriated $1.000.000 lo
defray the cost of her exhibit at our
Columbian Exposition, ami we ought at
le.ist to have that much money in order
to make a showing at Paris common
surate with our National prestige. Wo
have lugged behind all other tuitions,
too, in accepting the invitation of
France to participate, and on unit ac?
count have put ourselves ai a great dis?
advantage. On account of our slow?
ness we hare been allotted but 150.000
square feet of space, which is alto?
gether inadequate lo a proper display
from this country. I hope that we shall
be accorded mure room, and shall work
earnestly to get some concession from
the French management. Then, tou,
all goods intended fur exhibit must be
listed and entered by next February,
which will be an impossibility so far
as we are concerned, so I shall have to
make a plea for mote time for Ameri?
can exhibitors.
"The question of having a Govern?
ment building is otic of sonic difficulty.
The rule over there is that no tuition
can have a building unless its ruler or
president attends ine Exposition in
person. Under our Constitution Presi?
dent McKinley cannot, during his term
of offne, visit a foreign country. Per?
haps this rule may be relaxed in out
favor; but. if not, v. e will have to do
without nur own structure. Or.r Gov?
ernment exhibit, how-eve", will be a
magnificent oue. quite worthy of our
high standing as a people.
?c-,""",e culling out of intended exhibits
wTtTbe a herculean task, for as we will
have but a limited space, only the very
best will he considered. This is the
task to which I expect to dev.ote most
of my energies, and therefore will
spend the greater part of my time be?
tween this and the opening of the Ex
position at the Commission's head?
quarters in Chicago.
"This commemoration of the cen?
tury's close will be u unique spectacle,
and at the French capital will he gath?
ered the most enormous aggregation of
humanity ever known at an interna?
tional display. 1 think r.O.OOO.OOo of
people will attend during the life of the
Exposition, which will more than
double the number we had at Chicago."
Mr. Peck had a conference with the
President, who suggested that the rep?
resentation of this Government should
he conducted on a broad, generous plane.
The President agreed that there should
be an additional appt opriation of $100.
000 for the expenses of our i (-presenta?
tion there, the present appropriation
for the purpose being $000.000.
As Commissioner General to the
Paris exposition Mr. Peck will not gain
his first experience in promoting the
welfare of the arts and Industries of
the United States. As one of the crea?
tors and leading officers of the World's
Columbia exposition he did splendid
worki Since thon he has been foremost
? n urging .generous patronage of the
Atlantic, Nashville and Omaha expo?
sitions, and has done not a little for
the success of these enterprises. He is
thoroughly equipped for the positron
to which he has jti-.t be-tn appointed.
Mr. Peck represents the type of citizen?
ship that has made Chicago great anil
marvelous as a cit/. Not only with
the great "While C-ty" and the Audi?
torium has his name been connected,
but he has been projiinently connected
with the projection <rid building up of
many other great en erprises which are
an honor and a betelit to Chicago.
Mr. Peck was bom in Chicago fifty
years ago. Tu the t. rt and educational
wants of Chicago hi has especially de?
voted a large sharsj of his time anti
means. He is a trustee of the Univer?
sity of Chicago and has been actively
and officially connoted with the Chi?
cago Athenaeum association, the Il?
linois Humane society, the Art Inati
' *e and other rub! - ?'t;'i.ionsi.
