The debate spon the "World! Fair bill

herents of Chicago, St. Louis and "Washing
ton. A Tote will probably not be reached
before Monday.

'Wjlshikgtok', February 20. The House
has at last taken up the World's Fair ques
tion, and there is some probability that a
decision will be reached upon it within a
week. The whole of to-day's session was
deToted to the hearing of arguments in favor
of the different sites. The vopular interest
in the subject was well evidenced by the
crowded galleries, every seat being occupied
during the entire session.
"When the interest in the speeches being
delivered on the floor flagged a little,
visitors turned to watch the flying fingers of
four New England ladies occupying the
Speaker's reserved seat, who had brought
tbeir knitting with them, so as not to lose
time. Consequently, there was always
something going on to amuse, and one of
the visitors declared that she had never at
tended so interesting a session of the Honse
before. Of the speeches, some were good,
some bad and many indifferent.
JL VOTE ON MONDAY.
To-morrow, and probably Saturday, the
debate will continue, and on Monday the
vote will be taken. As the roll is called,
each member will declare bis preference by
naming the city he desires to vote for. It
may take only the one roll call to settle the
matter, and then the House will vote on the
qnestion. Shall a "World's Fair be held iu
1892? Upon that point, it is likely that
there will be some lively talking, and the
issue is held to be in doubt
To-day Mr. Hills, of Texas, demanded
half of the time in behalf of the opponents
of the bill. The Speaker said that in the
absence of an arrangement the matter of
recognitions was one for the presiding offi
cer. Mr. Mills said that the presiding
officer should, in fairness, recognize the
opponents of the bills during half of the
time. The Speaker replied that no donbt
the expectations of the gentleman wonld be
realized so far as they were in accordance
with the views of the Chair.
The Chairman of the committee, Mr.
Candler, took the floor and opened the de
bate. He said that the country conld be
proud of the rivalry between the four cities.
They were working for local interests: but
they were also animated by a spirit ot
patriotism. The fair itself would be an
honor to the United States wherever held;
each of the four cities wonld do its best.
The committee had presented two bills one
adapted to New York, Chicago and St
Louis, and the other to "Washington.
ITBST GUN FOB 1TEW TOBK.
Representative Flower opened in behalf
of New York. He said:
lam for New York because I believe sneh &
selection means the createstlposslble success
In this undertaking and because of tier great
adrantages, and its proposition set forth a
veii-mgestea plan lor practical operation,
which would not, as a visionary scheme sprung
up in a nightfall to pieces upon the test of
demonstration, for it was founded upon prin
ciples of business suggested by men of Dull
ness. New York would assume the responsi
bility ta make it a success. The site was ready
for use now. It contains 309 acres, while the
Paris Exposition contained only 250 acres.
Had any other city met this question of site
and solved It? No: others had only attempted
the financial problem, and would ask for a
large appropriation. In Chicago, St. Louis and
Washington this problem of site was still in
the clonds or the mua. New York was the
half-way station between the greater part of
this country and the world, and through it
comes and goes nearly 70 per cent of onr ex
ports and imports. Her commercial position,
therefore, would give the United States,
tbrongh this fair, an impetus it would receive
from no other city.
The American manufacturer and agricultur
ist would have a greater incentive to exhibit
his wares and prodncts in New York City than
he would In any other by reason of tbe fact
that be will have a larger local assemblage to
be instructed and benefited, and by reason of
the further fact that his goods would be thrown
into comparison with the wares and prodncts
in tbe great commercial exchange of tbe con
tinent As this was to be an international ex
hibition, largely dependent for its succer upon
the acceptance by foreign nations of the invi
tation to participate In it it behooves us to nse
due care in affording foreign exhibitors sneh
facilities as may bring within ths reach of all
tbe opportunity to take part in it witbont sub
jecting them to unnecessary expene,delay and
liability to damage to their exhibits
GOVEBKOE HILL tS LINE.
In conclusion he said: "We offer New
York for just what it is. "We do not wish to
detract from Chicago or St Louis, or any
other western city, for we know that the
growth and prosperity of any part north,
south, east or west, of this great American
Republic. Just here," said Mr. Flower, hold
ing up a telegram, "I am informed that
Governor 'Hill has signed the Fair bill.
(Applause.) Mr. Flower was followed by
Mr. Moore, ofNew Hampshire, and Messrs.
Covert, Cummings, Tracy and Quinn, all of
New York, in favor of the selection or New
York as tbe site.
Mr. Hull, of Illinois, was tbe first speaker
in behalf of Chicago. He said:
Chicago is the great interior city, the great
center of the United States being a short dis
tance southeast of tbe city. It surpassed any
otter place in facilities of travel and ability to
care for the people. Tbe hotels were on an
enormons scale, and had never been overtaxed.
One bad been opened last fall that was monu
mental, and how many more would come de
pended only on tbe energy of Chicago. Her
car lines and steamers could handle thousands
ot people. The city was accessible to the
mining regions ot Pennsylvania and the great
agricultural belts of the West Commerce was
there carried on in the grandest scale by land
and water. Her tonnage was the second in
size among American countries.
ONE OP THE POINTS.
A foreigner would not stop at the gate of the
Republic and turn back, at he wonld If tbe fair
were to be held at New York. He wonld go
and see tbe Mississippi Valley, and tbe grand
opulence of the great interior. Tbe site at
Chicago was all Teady: the lands level and no
preparation was required. It would leave a
great emptr space in tbe treasury after New
York had blasted away rocks enough to afford
a site. Placed in tbe interior tbe fair would be
visited by many more people than if it were
placed at tidewater. The people of Chicago
were enthusiastic: they were not bickering
among themselves; they stood united to mate
the lair a success. What proportion of tbe
attendance at the fair would be composed of
foreign visitors! Perhaps 160,000 at most He
expected 15.000,000 Americans to attend the
fair. Would It be proper to require 7,000,000
people to travel to tbe extreme edge of tbe
country as they would have to do It the fair
were held in New York:
Mr. Creary, of Kentucky, earnestly argued
id favor of Chicago, saying the three great
est national celebrations ever held in this
country had been held iu the Fast, and it
was now the turn of the "West. He urged
that tbe fair should not be held on the rim
of the country, but in the interior.
Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, said there was a
great country in the West of which the
people knew little, and he desired a fair in
the West to educate the people of New
York. For years the "West had been the
cow from which New York had drawn
milk; it was time that she should receive
some benefits in return. He concluded by
telling of tbe wealth of the coiintry sur
rounding Chicago, stnd the patronage which
codld expected .to be bestowed upon a fair
held there.
A HIT AT CHICAGO.
Mr. Frank, of Missouri, opened the "battle
for St Louis. Tbe site for the fair, he said,
was to be chosen upon sound reasons. If
missionary education was the object Chi
cago was the place. In a historical com
memoration like this, he wanted no political
manager to locate the site according to what
he thought were proper considerations.
Chicago vied with New York in political
animus, supplemented by sordid mercenary
aims.
St Louis offered the advantages of loca
tion and was accessible to the greatest num
ber of citizens of the United States and the
Southern Republics. Foreign goods could
be unloaded on the levees of New Orleans
with less confusion than at New York. St
Louis, in a spirit of lofty ambition, asked
Congress to award her the fair. Her hospi
tality was known the world over; her cli
mate was excellent; she would bid the world
welcome to a nursery of virtue, not a morass
of vice.
Mr. Niedrinehans, of Missouri, extolled
the talents of the business men of St Louis.
He said that he had there been able to start
and carry on a business that had not an
equal in" the world. Mr. Breckinridge, of
Arkansas, followed in the same line, touch
ing upon tbe transportation facilities afforded
by tbe Mississippi river, with its tributaries,
and the great railway systems.
THE CLAIMS OF "WASHINGTON.
Mr. McComas, of Maryland, was for an
exposition wherever it was to be held. But
it was historically fitting that the Exposi
tion should be held here in Washington, in
the District bearing the name of tbe discov
erer of the continent Heinvoked the mem
bers to seek some higher motive and broader
ground than locality. He appealed to tbe
friends of Chicago, New York and St. Louis
to come together in peace here, on national
ground.
Messrs. Lee, of Virginia; Coleman, of
Louisiana; Compton and Stockbridge, of
Maryland, also spoke in favor of "Washing
ton, and then the House adjourned until to
morrow. Tbe proposed night session was
abandoned.
A C0BFDSED WITNESS.
O'Oonnell Brcemei Very Mueh Mixed on
Cross-Exnmlnntlon.
Chicago, February 20. In the Cronin
jury bribing case this morning the Court in
structed the jury to return a verdict of not
guilty as to Thomas Kavanaugh and he was
discharged. This left Jeremiah O'Donnell
the only defendant He went on the stand
and made explicit denial of offering a bribe
or attempting in any way to get a corrupt
jnrvman accepted In tbe case.
On cross-examination he became confused
and could not remember that he had made
certain damaging admissions to the State's
Attorney when first arrested.
On redirect examination it was brought
out that O'Donnell had no sleep the night
or day before the inquisition in Judge
Longenecker's office and having also had
nothing to eat for 12 hours, was sick and ex
cited, After evidence pro and con as to the cred
ibility of "Witness Hoagland court adjourned
till to-morrow.

The Edneational Conference Piuses n Reso
lution Approvlnalhe Ptnn.
NewYobk, February 20. At the Edu
cational Conference here to-day a resolution
w&s5ntrodnced by ex-President "William F.
Sheldon declaring that the association re
garded the public school system as the chief
source ot civilization and the bulwaik of
civil and religious liberty. That they ap
proved of placing the. American flag over
schoolhouses and rrcommended the study of
the Declaration of Independence and other
historical American papers. That they
could meet hostile criticism and make the
public schools the allies of home, and be
come sources of the highest moral instruc
tion without any sectarian bias. Tbe mem
bers pledged themselves to do all in their
power to establish the system in all sections
ol the iiepublic and inase intelligence and
loyalty a blessing.
The resolution was passed unanimously.
COAL MEN IK CONFERENCE.
The Advisability of Pormlpe sin Agreement
With Ore Dealers Discussed.
Chicago, February 20. A number of
well known coal men met at the Grand
Pacific to-day to confer concerning Lake
Superior transportation sales. A. G. Gates,
of "Rochester, N.Y., presided. They dis
cussed the advisability of forming some sort
of an agreement with the iron and copper
ore dealers so that boats might come from
Lake Superior to Chicago laden with ore
and return with coal.
Most of the coal dealers were of the opin
ion that money could be saved by nnloadipg
in Chicago and shipping on the lake to all
Lake Superior points. A proposition will
undoubtedly be made to the ore men.
On Her War to tbe Lepers.
Chicago, February 20 Sister Rose
Gertrude, f the Order Of St Dominio, ar
rived in Chicago last night on her way to
the Sandwich Islands where she is to devote
her life to the service of the lepers at

"Willie, Cecilia and John, aged from 4 to 12
vears were burned to death. Mr. and Mrs.
