4 COLUMBIAN HISTORICAL EXPOSITION AT MADRID. 



COMMISSION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

 FOR THE COLUMBIAN HISTORICAL EXPOSITION IN MADRID, 



Washington, December 5, 1894. 



SIR : I have the honor to submit the report of the Commission of the 

 United States of America for the Columbian Historical Exposition in 

 Madrid during the months of November and December, 1892, and 

 January, 1893. 



The time which has elapsed since the conclusion of the Exposition 

 has been necessarily occupied in the completion of the special reports. 

 This work has not been so rapidly forwarded as it would have been 

 had not the time of most of the persons engaged upon these reports 

 been absorbed for a considerable period by duties in connection with 

 the World s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. 

 Very respectfully, 



G. BROWN GOODE, 

 Acting Commissioner- General. 

 The SECRETARY OF STATE.
