Gen Buffinson, chief of ordnance, asks the secretary of war to end seven relic arsenals from the old prewar system. They waste funds and officers, rust from idleness, and hinder proper work. A Fay etteville North Carolina arsenal bill is seen as retrograde, keeping buildings and land in U S hands.

Americans Expected to Spend Heavily at Paris Exposition
Bankers estimate that American visitors to the Paris exposition will spend about 40 million dollars more abroad than usual this vacation season. In 1889 about 120,000 U S visitors attended, with New York to Europe cabin passengers spending around 92,771,950 dollars that year. The estimate relies on 77,590 cabin passengers at 1,000 dollars each and 101,213 third class passengers at 150 dollars each. The effect on exchange rates remains uncertain though a surge in demand for sterling could raise its price above current levels.
