RIVAL CITIES.

Their Claims to the World's Fall Laid Before Congress.

THE ORATORICAL CONTEST BEGINS.

ItoRwoll l\ Flower tlin Principal Speaker for Now York What tho Chum, pious of Chlcngo, St. I,ouls and Washington Said*

TALKING FOR THE FAIR.

WASHINGTON, Fob. 21.— By special order yeBtorday was sot apart by tho House for tho opening of tlio debate on tho report of the committee on the world's fair. Tho public evidently ontertainod hopes of an interesting discussion, for tho galleries were well filled with spectutors.

The usual preliminary routine business was transacted by the House with a sliow of impatience: Mr. Morrill (Kan.) presented tho conference report on tho Senate bill to lncreaso tho pension of helpless soldiers. Tho agreement makes tho proposed increases take effect from tho date of passage of the bill on tho issue of surgeons' certificates. Mr. Morrill explained that tho bill involved an expenditure of S-100,000 or $450,000 for this year. Tho report was adopted.

Tho special order—tho consideration of tho world's fair bills—was taken up. Chairman Candler, of tho House special committee, took the floor. His remarks were wholly explanatory of tho two bills introduced—one adapted to Chicago, Now York and St. Louis, and tho other to Washington.

NEW YORK'S CLAIMS.

Mr. Flowor followed in behalf of Now York City. Ho was for New York, he said, beeauso ho believed tho selection of Now York meant tho greatost possible success and bocauso of her great advantages. Now York would assume tho financial responsibility and had a site containing 809 acres ready for use, while tho Paris exposition contained only 2fi0 acres. Mr. Flowor then expatiated on New York's claims as a groat commercial center, and the danger to foreign exhibits through transhipment across tho country, and closed as follows: "Therefore, with a guaranty on the part of New York for the pecuniary success of the fair, with Its dense population, Us nifty points of Interest, Its nttractlvoness to foreign visitors, Its commodious harbor to receive foreign goodB, Its ample accommodations to provide for tho comfort of a million dally visitors, and with a beautiful site hi the hands of tho committee, already Improved to the extent of 11,500,000, New York is better prepared for this fair today than any other city that asks It—in faot, Is tho only city prepared to undortako tho enterprise, complete the buildings by May !, 1892, and close tho' fair by Nof vember 1, istti, and therefore Is "tho only' place whero the fair can be held In that year where politics would bo debarred, for they- can finish the buildings two months beforo a President Is nomluated and clone tho fair before tho election."

Mr. Flower was followed by Mr. Mooro (N. II.) and Messrs. Covert, Cummings, Tracoy and Quinn (all of Now York) in favor of tho selection of New York as tho site.

CHICAOO'S CHAMPIONS.

Mr. Ilitt (111.) opened for Chicago. Ho said tho exact center of tho United States was a short distance southeast

AILY

of

Chicago, it surpassed any other place in facilities of travol and ability to care for the people. Tho hotels were on an enormous scale and had never boon overtaxed. Her oar lines and steamers could handle thousands of people. The city was accessible to tho mining regions of Pennsylvania and tho great agricultural belts of the West Commerce was thoro carried on in tho grandest scale by land and wator. llor tonnago was tho seoond in size among American countries. A foreigner would not stop at tho gato- of tho republic and turn back, as ho would if tho fair were to be held in Now York. He 'would go on and see tho Mississippi valley and tho grand opulonco of the groat interior. The site at Chicago was all ready tho lands level, and no preparation was required. Tho people of-

Chicago were enthusiastic thoy were' not bickering among themselvos they Btood united to make the fair a success. What proportion of the attendance at the fair would be composed of foreign visitors? Perhaps 50,000 at most. Ho expected ir., 000,000 Americans to attend tho fair. Would it bo proper to require 7,000,000 people to travol to tho extreme edge of tho country, as thoy would have to do if tho fair were hold in Nov/ York? Chicago afforded tho opportunity to bring to tho notico of tho capitalist, foreign and domestic, tho vast undeveloped resources of the West and South, which seek capital and tempt its investment. In conclusion ho said that the fair at Chicago would enlist tho enthusiastic efforts of all of tho peoplo and be a memorable and magnificent success.

Mr. Adams (111.) followed Mr. Hitt Ho said tho peoplo of Chicago wore earnestly in favor of a world's fair in 1892, oven though it were not to be held In Chicago." Tho peoplo of Chicago-working-men, business men and professional men and capitalistsall agroed in asking Congress to allow tho great celebration of 18'J- to be held in their city. They know how much responsibility was involvod in tho honor thoy asked. They wore prepared to meet it. Chicago had many advantages as tho location of the exhibition. The population was largely made up of settlers from other countries and other portions of tho Nation. He believed Chicago could guarantee the financial success of tho undertaking. They had raised $5,000,000 by voluntary subscription. A quarter of a million of this sum, onotwentioth of tho whole, was in small sums. Thoy came from the workingpooplo of Chicago and showed tho interest of tho entire population. Thoy were an added guaranty of success. Another guaranty was that tho subscription fund, whilo it came mainly from Chicago, came also from the outsido. Nearly every State in tho Union was represented. That thoy proprosed to raise 85,000,000 more by the Issue of bonds in the manner provided by tho bill reported from tho world's fair committee. Not a

Mr. McCreary (Ky.) earnestly arguod In favor of Chicago, saying tho three greatest National celebrations ever held in this country had been hold in the East and it was now the turn of the West, lie urged that the fair should not bo held on. tho rlin ot the country, but in tho interior. We should care for our own people rather than for "tho 70,000 foreigners who might cotno hore.

Mr. Lawler (lit), called attention lo tho Now York Sun," which he commended, particularly last Saturday's issuo, containing a complimentary article on Chicago, lie held a petition signed by thousands of workmen of every city in the Union (excopt Now York) asking that tho exposition bo. located in the city of Chicago.

Other speakere in behalf of Chicago were Messrs. Cutcheon (Mich.), Taylor (111.), Perkins (Kan.) and .Chfaman (Mich.).

FOIT ST. LOUIS.

Mr. Frank (Mo.) opened tho battle for St. Louis. In a historical commemoration like this ho wanted no political manager to locate 'the site according to what ho thought were proper considerations. Chicago vied with Now York in political animus, supplimented by sordid mercenary aims. St. Louis offered the' advantages of location, and was accessible to the greatest number of citizens of tho United States and Southern republics. Foreign goods could bo unloaded on the levoes of Now Orleans with less confusion than at'Ne w. York. St. Louis, in a spirit of loftj| ambition, asked Congress to awhrd Ijer*tho fair.

Messrs. Niedringliaus (Mo.), Stone (Mo.), Breckinridge (Ark.), Dockory (Mo.) and Caruth (Ky.) followed in behalf of St. Louis.

TIIE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Mr. Lee (Va.-)-deemed-Washington' not only the most proper place, but the only place in which to looate a National exhibition, as Philadelphia was moBt proper for the centennial exposition. Air. Coqipton (Md.) followed, basing his argument for Washington on the assertion that all great National gatherings should: be held at the National capital. It was upon a high plane of patriotism and thd universal brotherhood] of tho Nation that he wished to see the fair in Washington. Mr. Stookbridge (N. was the next speaker. The holding'of the fair in Washington he said, would entirely divest it of sectional Is nS, Messrs. MoComas (Ind.) andColeman (La.) also spoke in favo'ir^of Washington. Th»House adjourned at 5:45 p. m.

NEW YORK'S HILL LIKCOMES A LAW. ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 81.—Governor Hill has signed the world's fair bill.

THE SENATE.

It Docldea to Investigate the Reoent Murder of Deputy Martial Saunders In Florida—Senator Blair Sndi IHi Hpeech on the Educational BUI.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The Senate yestorday discussed Senator Chandler's (N. H.) resolution calling for information in regard to tlie Florida assassination. Tho debate was of an inflammatory character. Senators Call and Pasco (Fla.) making attacks upon the character of tho dead man, Saunders, and Senator Chandler attacking tho Florida Senators for defaming tho dead. After an extended debate tho resolution was agreed to ^d the Senate resumod consideration of tho educational bill.

Senator Sawyor (Wis.) introduced a bill to amend the revised statutes relating to lotteries. It provides that no letter or circular concerning the advertisement of lotteries or so-called gift enterprises, and intended to deceive the public, shall bo sent through tho malls.

Senutor Blair (X. H.) took tho floor and finished his speech on the educational bill.

MONTANA'S LEGISLATURE.

It Adjourns After a Session of Ninety Days, During Which Not Bill Was Passed.

HELENA, Mont, Fob. 31.—The Montana Logislaturo adjourned Thursday night, having beon in session ninety days, and failed to pass a single bill. Addresses to the peoplo wero issued by tho Republican Senators and tho Demooratlo Representatives. It is understood Governor Toole will call a special session to pass appropriation bills about the 1st of May. It is said the Governor will recognize the legality of tho election of the five Republican Representatives from Silver Bow County if the United States Senate seats Sandors and Power. This done, the dead-lock ends and legislation may prooeed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 21.—The Motion Railway Company is determined not to let any of the victims of the late wrock enter tho courts for damages if such a thing can bo provonted. The husband of Mrs. Nollio Eubanks, who was burned to death, has accoptod S5,0(M) in compromise Of this sum $3,500 goes to the children and the remainder to tho husband.

After the singing of "Amorioa" and prayor by Bishop Whitehead Mr. Carnegio presented tho key of tho library to Maydr Pearson. Mr. Carnegio referred to tho fact thft it was in Allegheny that his parents—poor Scotch Immigrants—found a homo in Amorica, and concluded jjy. handing over the key, with warm wishes for the. prosperity of every citizon of Allegheny. Mayor Pearson replied briefly, and then Introduced President Harrison, who spoke In part as follows: "Mil. CHAIRMAN AND FKLLOW CITIZENS: I have spent a very Instructive day In Allegheny County.

"I hope that this Institution may carry with

Because, unless thinking accompanies reading, there is not much profit In the books. 1 congratulate you that you have a citizen who could concelvo a work like this. I am sure It will be an Impulse to others who dwell among yon, which will infiuence those who have aooumulated wealth to fgel that they hold it as trustees for mankind. 'May I not do what I will with my own?' Is the selfish spirit that dodicates to personal luxury the fruits ot toil. How much highor and nobler use of accumulative wealth huvo we before us In this magnificent structure to-night I It glres mo great ploasure to be associated with the inauguration of this great enterprise. No one cab tell how wide and deep and strong the stream will b4 that shall have its origin here. We oan not follow it through tho generations that are to oome. "It is left In your charge, citizens of Allegheny, and speaking for Its generous donor, I deolare it now to bo opened to public use and a plaoe of assembly for all, and I charge you that you cure for it In such manner that its highest usefulness may be reachcd, and that It may not in your hands fall below the high* thought which was in tho mind of him who has out of his own personal means .ereoted and dedicated this library to public use." [Applause.]

The Presidential party was then escorted through the art gallory, aftor which they entered oarriages and were convoyed to tho Duquesne olub. After a light lunch at tho Duquesno club President Harrison was driven to the depot, whore ho took the night train for home.
