The executive committee of theWorld's Fair
or rather the executive committee headed by
Judge Hilton, and which Is considered the most
responsible OF the rival organizations has held
meeting and decided unanimously that the
fair should be held at some place on Manhattan
Island, but, until the site has been selected,
1t is deemed advisable to postpone fixing date
for holding it. 1t was further determined that
the United States shall neither directly nor
Indirectly be made liable for the cost or the
undertaking, or any portion OF IL. Tue
fair is to be placed under the patron
age Of the National Government, but
nothing more The proposed law which 1t
Is intended to ask Congress to pass, incorpo-
rates a commission, to consist of one dele
gate and one alternate from each state and
territory, to be known as the United States In
ternational Commission, which will have gene
raj charge of the work. The Commissioners
are to be appointed by the President, on the
nomination OF the governors OF the states. In
addition to the general commission, there is to
be Incorporated body known as ''The Board
Of Finance OF the International Exhibition"
which VIII have exclusive charge Of the finances
of the exhibition. This corporation will con-
sist Of the shareholders in the enterprise. The
capital is to be ten million, divided into ten
dollar shares. and each share gives its holder a
vote for the % directors of the corporation. The
only pecuniary assistance asked Of the United
States government is the temporary advance
OF a sum Of 1880 900, whenever the directors
shall have collected and disbursed like sum.
The loan is to be repaid without interest out of
the proceeds and property Of the corporation.

From the tenor Of the action OF the republican
county conventions held throughout Ohio Sat-
urday it appears that Taft is likely to be the
leading gubernatorial candidate In the CIncin-
natl convention on the 18th of May. There is
strong undercurrent OF feeling In favor of Sher-
man, and II his name should be proposed In the
convention, with the assurance that he would
accept, he would doubtless be nominated by
reclamation. The same Is true of Garfield, but
there appears to be general feeling that
neither of them can be spared from the National
capital adyantageously to the republican party,
and it is held that they should not be asked to
abandon their important posts, to run for gov
ernor

The war upon the practice OF creating is
pronounced by the Judge" and the Colonel
and their imitators in real life mean, under
handed attack upon one OF the most glorious
privileges of the American citizen. Such bum
merS and the grog-shOp politician who finds
the dispensing OF liquor in this way an easy
method OF bribery, are the only persons outside
OF the bar-keepers who are likely to defend
with much earnesrness an expensive custom
which often leads to the excessive use OF liquor.

Orange wine is the latest novelty. 1t Is made
by the Spanish, who fear that the phylloxera
will cause the supply Of grape wine to run
short. 1t contains fifteen per cent. OF alcohol
and Is agreeable to the taste. In countries
which have prejudice against water, and de-
pend largely upon wine as beverage, the de-
struction OF the grape crop is an unusually seri-
Gus matter.

The frequency OF fires Of incendiary origin In
Russian cities is exciting comment, and the
nihilists are suspected In this connection. The
fact that several government buildings have
been destroyed, gives some ground for the sus-
picion. But it Is not likely that the nihilists,
who hope for the support of the majority OF the
people In the revolution which they are expect
ing, would prejudice their cause by turning
hundreds of men, women and children out Of
their houses and into the fields. The nihilists
In their turn may fasten the blame for the fires
upon the government, on the same principle by
which the party In power Is held responsible for
falling crops and Indictment weather.

A Ma row Escape.

Yesterday afternoon, when the 2.1l
train from Philadelphia arrived al
Chester, II. Robelin and another man,
both of this city, jumped off the train
and ran into hotel for drinks. Before
coming out the train started, and it was
with great difficulty they managed to
board it. One of the men was dragged
below Edgmont avenue before he sue
ceeded in crawling upon the platform,
A number of persons standing by
thought the man could not gain the
platform, they expecting every moment
he would fall beneath the cars. His es
cape was very narrow one, and
should be lesson to others who in
dnlge in the practice Of getting on trains
while they are in motion.
