WORLDS FAIR 1892.

Public Opinion has gone practically
to work to ascertain, if possible, the
prevailing sentiment of commercial
and municipal America, on the loca-
ton of the Worlds Fair of 1892. This
was done by addressing a circular
to the mayors of all cities in the
United States of over $1,000 popula-
ton, and to the secretaries of over
three hundred representative CONNER
clal organizations requesting an an
swer to the following ques tions:
l. In what city, in your opinion,
should the worlds exposition of 1892
be held?
2. Should the expenses be betrayed
by national appropriation, private
subscription or both?
To these enquiries 1873 replies
had been received to date of August
9Th, and Washington was the choice
of 55; New York the choice of "a; Chi
cago the choice of SO; st. Louis the
choice of 8; with two for Cincinnati,
and one each for Boston, Buffalo and
Philadelphia. These answers CAME
from as far southeast as Florida, as
far southwest as Texas, as far north
west as Duluth and as far northeast
as Maine. These replies show a de-
| cided disinclination to locate the Ex-
| position in the Mississippi Valley,
the votes for Washington and New
York leading those for all other sec
tions combined by 40, and forming
nearly two thirds of the whole.
| This very accurately represents the
| general sentiment which Is very
largely in favor of the Atlantic sea-
board and more In favor of the nation
al capital than any where else. Eighty
one of these replies are from interior
states, that Is the states which do not
border on the Atlantic seaboard. OF
the eight votes cast for st. Louis six
were from the state of Missouri itself,
the other two from Arkansas, proving
that the preference fer st. Louis is
quite sectional and circumscribed
within very narrow limits. OF the
thlrty-slX votes cast for Chicago thir-
ty-one are from the states of Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana, MICHIGAN, Min.
nesOta, Wisconsin and Ohio, showing
that the preference for Chicago is moi
general, there being but one vote from
the Atlantic states and not one from
the southern states i'm her favor. o.

York, eighteen are from New York
New Jersey and Pennsylvania and

patches, the last hours of Sunset Cox
were rapidly approaching. The end
came at 1886 last evening, quietly and
peacefully as sleep comes to a tired
body. He was the same genial, sun
ny tempered, humorous soul to the

peritonitis, was the cause of his death.
A typical American statesman has
gone, and the country will not soon
see his counterpart. He was an able

 ''In manner of speaking, sir. He first put the idea into my head. You would never guess it, and I mustn't say what it was.''
 But had guessed it. MT, Mortlock, hating mo and mine, would have incrimi- mated me- it was he whose malignant whis- pering had caused me to be received as had been on that morning.

 "It's my opinion, sir, he's confessing to the clergyman. Thank you, sir" I had slipped couple of sovereigns into his hand ''There's something that ought to be got al if the man is really dying" ''What is that?"

 Glow did it happen?"
 "I was in the police station with the in. spector when . man came in, or rather stag. gered in. We had to catch him to prevent him from falling, and we thought, of course, that he was drunk. Not a bit of it. Nearer dead than drunk, with face like the face of ghost, and worn to a skeleton. When he could speak, he said in a voice we could hardly hear, it was so faint, My name is sam uel Fleetwood. I have come to give myself up for the murder of MT. Wilmot, at Bos- combe Lodge With that he swooned. and we called in the doctor, who gave it as his opinion that the man was dying. Werestored him to his senses, and the inspector asked him if he knew what he had said. Yes, he answered. I murdered MT. Wilmot.' Be careful said the inspector; whatever you say may be brought in evidence against you. I am aware of it, said Fleetwood, and re- peated, I murdered him. He tried to say more, but he hadn't the strength; so, acting upon the doctors advice, we removed him to a room where ho could be attended to. There he signed his bare statement, which the inspector had taken down, and then we left him to the doctor"
 "How long ago did this occur?" I asked, drawing a deep breath of relief, feeling that was now safe from SuSDicOn.
