WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The de ciding struggle between the cities competing for the World's Fair com menced at noon, and resulted in a victory for Chicago. The hall of the House was so gloomy that the gas was lighted. The galleries were crowded in fact packed. Chauncey M. Depew, Mayor Cregier, and a host of representa tive men were to be seen in the re served galleries. Representative O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, opened the proceedings by presenting John E. Reyburn, the successor of tht late Representative Kelley, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Reyburn took his place before the bar and was sworn in by the Speaker. The Clerk read the special order of the House prescribing the method of voting upon the site for the fair, requiring some one place to'hare a majority of the votes cast. Mr. Blount, Georgia, wished to know if there would be an oppor* tunity afforded to pass upon the question as to whether there shall be a fair before selecting a site. Tlie Speaker replied that under the special this opportunity could not be had, and directed the Clerk to call the roll. There wa3 some applause as the first few responses were made, which was pramptly chocked by the Speaker. THE FIRST BALLOT. The first ballot for choice of site resulted as follows: Chicago, 115 New York. 72 St. Louis, 61 Washington, 66 Cumberland Oap, 1 Necessary to a choice 154. SECOND BALLOT. Chicago, 121 Now York, S3 St. Louis, 68 Washington, 48 THIRD BALLOT. Chicago, 127 New York, 92 St. Louis, 63 Washington. 34 FOURTH BALLOT.

Chicago, 153 New York, 106 St. Louis, 29 EIGHTH BALLOT. Chicago, 157 New York, 107 St' Louis, 25 Chicago reached on this ballot three votes more than were necessary and thus gets the fair. The an nouncement was applauded and the House adjourned. THE FINAL STRUGGLE. On the seventh ballot a majority would be 156, and Chicago had 154, just two votes short. Theie was an agony of expectations when Mason dragged Reyburn, the new member, forward. Ho said he wished to change his vote from New York to Chicago, and did so. He was greet ed with applause, and evidently ex pected to lead a stampede foi Chicago, but he was disappointed No hn7 !. ii. ? the several sup ploments theroto for tlic ch >rtor of an intended corporation to be called "The Fishing Creek Improvement Company," the character and olijeot of which is lor the purpose of erect ing reservoirs, construction of dams, tho driv ing and floating of logs, timber and lumber on the West Branch of Fishing Crook in the coun> lies of Columbia and Sullivan on said stream not exceeding twenty miles in length with the right to clear out, improve and use the same, purchase dams, erect new dams, straighten, deepen, orib and widen tho same.
