"A meeting of business men of Baltimore
city was held at the Mayors Office on Tues
day, at which, Governor jackson presided,
the object being to set forth the advantages
OF Washington city as the place for holding
the Three Americas Exposition in 1902. The
gentlemen present were unanimous in the ex
preston Of opinion that the capital Of the
country is the proper spot for the great ex-
position. Mayor Latrobe remarked that to
hold it elsewhere would be TO localize it.
Gov. Jackson said that merchants and bust,
ness men all over the country must contrib
ute the lions share of the expenses. Since
the entire world will be invited to send art-
cles to the exposition and attend it, it wonld
seem in every way more fitting that it should
be held at Washington. The argument that
there are not sufficient accommodations at
Washington for large crowd is pueflc, since
there is plenty OF idle capital near at hand
which could and would be proftably en-
ployed in this direction if necessary. Wash
ington should be the place, by all means.
