tho Worlds Fair.
 WAsuINaToS, D. C., December ll--At
 the St. Louis Worlds Fair headquarters
 two clerks arc busily engaged sending out
 the literature forwarded here for distribu.
 tion. That thore will be a fair at all is yet
 question. There are several uimportan,
 matters concerning the South which will
 have an important bearing upon tho propo-
 sition. Tho contested election cases are
 absorbing the attention of Southern mem-
 bers and all of them arc greatly exercised over the threatened legislation in Federal
 elections Congressman Pendleton state.
 that those matters first concern his delega tion from West Virginia. Congressman O'Farrell, of Virginia, talks likewise, and in doing so voices prevailing sentiment among the Southern representatives. The representative men intimate that
 until the House of Representatives shows it's hands on what they call proposed pro scriptive Legislation they have no desire for a Worlds Fair. They want their Northerr, colleagues to put themselves on record on what they deem of first importance to them at home. So it looks like an issue might here arise.
