Jan. 9.—Tho rivalry of

tho cities of Now York, Washington, Chicago and St. Louis for selection its tho site for tho World's Fair of 1S!)2 had ita first practical manifestation at tho Capitol yesterday morning boforo tho Senate special committee on tho quadri-contenniai. Tho hearing took placo in tho room of tho committee on tho Districtof Columbia. The members of tho committee who woro present woro Sunators lliscoek, chairman Sherman, Hawley, Wilson of Iowa, Stanford, Eu.stis, l'arwell, lvenna and 1 ray.

Arguments were opened by Uovcrnor Francis, of Missouri, who spoke briefly, giving liis attention largely to tho claims of tho State. Ho was followed by C. II. Jones,editor of tho St. Louis Republican, who presented a map with circles drawn having as their centers tho various cities claiming tho exposition. Ho claimed that within these fiOO-milo circles there aro shown by tho last census: Ithin tho New York circle 20,000,000 people, tho Chicago circle 21,000,000, the St. Louiscirelo 2:1,000,000, and held that the census of 1890 will show in the New York circlo 24,000,000, the Chicago circlo 27,000,000 and the SL Louis circle !i0,000,000. Ho: called attention to tho rail and water facilities which enable rapid transit and rapid carriago of heavy freights also the numerous and healthful sites offered at much loss cost or labor than in New York or Chicago. Ho also claimed that the St. Louis hotels could accommodate a greater transit custom than any other city. Tho largo attendanco at tho National conventions were better accommodated by the railroads and hotels at St. Louis than at Chicago, lie presented arguments to show that tho charges against the climate of St. Louis aro not founded on fact and asserted that in tho six months in which tho exposition would be held would givo a greater percentage of 'favorablo weather than anywhere. Ho claimed for St.,Louis the origin of tho idea of the exposition in 1S92 to celebrate tho discovery, of tho country. He was followed liV Cfovornor 'Stannard, who stated that the guarantee fund now amounts to over $4,000,000 and is steadily increasing.

Tho hearing concluded at noon, when tho committee adjourned to Friday. On that day tho Washington committoe will present its olaims. and on Saturday New York and Chicago will bo hoard.

In the Senate the disposition is growing to postpone the fair until 1895 on tho ground that two years is not sufficient time to mako tho necessary preparations. At least two members of tho Senate committee have expressed themselves as opposed to tho exposition in 1892.

S1CNATOJ! VOOKIIKES SCOltES DUDLEY.

Washington*,

Jan. It.—Tho Sonate

after some routine business took up Senator Voorhees' resolution in regard to tho failure of United States District Attorney Chambers, of Indianapolis to arrest and prosecute W. Dudley, and Sonator Voorhees spoke on tho subject. The Senator, after commenting on the charges against Colonel Dudley of violation of tho election laws in t^e last Presidential election, spoko of tho crime as inflicting an indoliblo stain on that memorable eleotion, and impeached tho integrity of the political result that followed. "Tho crime was openly admitted, yot the beneficiary of a polluted ballot-box, now in high place, had folt compelled to shield the corrupt instrument of his success." Senator Voorhees had tho oolebrated "lllocks of Five" lettor read at tho Clerk's desk. Ho spoko of Mr. Dudley as the immediate personal representative in tho National committee of Benjamin Harrison. They had been political Siamese twins in tho State of Indiana. When, therefore, the scheme of bribery and corruption was exposed on tho Hist of October, said Sonator Voorhees, as far and as fast as the lightning carried tho- shameful story, was it to bo supposed that Dudley was left without advioo, instruction and assistance? Sonator Quay, chairman of tho Naiional Republican Committee and Senator from tho State of Pennsylvania, arrived at Indianapolis and held repeated and protracted conferences with those who held the fate of Dudley and tho interests of the Republican party in tho hollow of their hands.

Sonator Voorhees went on to spoak of Dudley's threats to uso tho dynamite which lie had in his pocltot in case an ittom pt was made to inflict punishment upon im, and also to criticiso very sercrely the part which Judge Woods was represented as taking in proventing tho Undingof a bill of indictment against Dudley. In view of tho indignity, Injustice and open outrage inflicted on tho people of Indiana in tho name and by tho authority of tho Republican National Committeo, aided and abetted by tho action of tho Federal Court, it would not seem strango that,as a representative of that insulted pooplo, lie should like to know by whose instructions and by what authority of law a responsible law olllcer of tho Government in Indianapolis, selected and appointed by tho Administration, felt himself warranted a few weeks ago 'in ordering a Unitod States Commissioner not to issue a warrant for Dudley's ar-

rest when lie veuw. turn to Indianapolis for the first time inmoro than a year, characterizing at tho samo time tho Dudley letter as an honorable and patriotic public doccment. Tho action of Chambers called for his summary dismissal. No better opportunity could present itself to tho President than was now presented to define his connection with Dudley hnd

AFTEH THE lira SHOW.

Washington,

Dudloy's crime.

Senator Edmunds (Vt.) offered a substitute tor tho Voorhoos resolution, cutting out tho preamble and chargos and calling for an investigation, lie said that it was possiblo that tho so-called Dudley lettor had I®.1on forged or so altered as to make an innocont—a morally innocont—political lottor appear to bo a morally guilty ono. There wore instances of such political forgeries about tho time of Presidential elections—such as tho Moroy lottor.

Senator Voorhees—If tho Dudloy lotter is a forgery, why is it that ho has not brought his libel suits against the. Now York papers to a trial, and why is it that ho has skulked and cowed and hid himself in exile for tho last twelve month's or more.

Sonator Edmunds said that tf Dudloy failed to prosecute his libel suits tho defendants oould have them dismissed. Tho letter, however, if it was gonuino, was an oiTenso against the laws of Indiana. Why did tho Democratic District Attorney—boforo tho chango of administration—fail to bring tho matter to tho attention of tho grand jury?

IIo intimated that the Dudley letter might have been suggested by or imitated from ono which had been sent out by a Mr. Whitaker, of Martinsville, Ind., cl.airman of a Democratic county committee, on September 7,18S8, and which was sent to tho clerk's desk and road.

The letter uses precisely similar expressions as aro used in tho Dudloy letter as to supplying lists of doubtful voters, describes them as "floaters," and directs that they shall bo closely loCked after and nono of thom allowed to escapo.

Senator Edmunds then referred to the Indianapolis tally-shoot forgeries, for which Coy was sentenced to the penitentiary, and to tho story that InmatoB of tho Marion County poor-houso and insane asylum wero taken to tho polls and mado to voto the Democratic tickct by a former Domocratio county treasurer. Theso samples, ho said, showed that thoro had been going on systematized, persistent, organized party frauds on the part of Democrats and Democratic organizations, which might havo led somobody in Indiana to follow the Martinsvillo precedent. If so ho should bo punished, and ho hoped that tho Senate would not stop until corruption and disWnosty at olections should havo boon uttorly oast! away. At tho closo of the discussion Sonator Edmunds' amendment was agreed to by a party voto (81 to 24), and the resolution thus amended was adopted.
