World’s Columbian Exposition invites for Columbus descendants
In Washington a Senate session considers a set of resolutions tied to the World’s Columbian Exposition. Proposals authorize the president to invite living descendants of Christopher Columbus and allied parties to the opening ceremonies and arrange exhibitions with foreign governments. House action yields little progress on local DC measures as a port bill moves and the session adjourns after a routine day.
