WASHINGTON HAS A GUARANTEE FUND.
ASSESSING REAL ESTATE OWNERS TO BOOM The
FAIR PROJECT CHICAGO AND 81
JOI-IS STILL TALKING.

FAIR PROJECT r CHICAGO AND 81
LOUIS STILL TALKING.
Washington Dec 10 (SpeciaD The interest mani
tested by the New-York delegation in Congress in Sc
curing for New-York the proposed Worlds Fair has
stirred the friends Of rival cities make new eXer-
TONS but as far as be judged they are confined
chiefly TO talk and assertions of the widest nature
Thus Ex-Governor Fletcher, OF Missouri, who Is on
the committee TO secure the size for SIT Louis Is re-
ported this afternoon as saying that ST. Louis mad
seventy votes pledged in the House. that moro would
be forthcoming If second ballot was found to lie
necessary 1t is scarcely necessary 10 say that THIS
is all moonshine At tho Chicago headquarters the
men in charge are not in any way behind their ST.
Louis brethren in claiming nearly all that Is In sight
Conservative men like Adlai f. Stevenson Of Illinois.
and General Black content themselves in expressing
a hope that Chicago may get the Fair incidentally.
they expressed themselves in favor of an early meeting
of the proposed Joint committee OF the two Houses Of
Congress- The indications are that such a committee
will not be got together probably until after the adj
journment of Congress for the holidays.
Washin gton is looming up with its project of raising
the Fl 600 guarantee fund by means OF an assess
ment upon the real estate The canvassers who COM
peted this afternoon their first days work reported
that property Owners possessing real estate worth
s6,57G437 have given their unqualified approval Of
the project. They also report that there are only
few objections the part of taxpayers to the raising
of this guarantee fund upon their real estate The
objections the say, from the old men
who have made their money here and who are now
in comaose state concerning the welfare Of the
city. II is curious to note some Of the excuses which
certain taxpayers give the canvasscrs for not wishing
contribute their share to the guarantee fund one
man asserted that he too old to sign and that he
might die suddenly, and hence 1t would he unwSe I'm
his opinion TO cucumber his property. \ prominent
merchant showed the canyasSer the door with the
remark that it a scheme TO rate taxpayers An
other said that he would not sign because he did not
desire to make hash-hOus3" of his homo for Irla
tves from California and old lady told the
that her husband before his death had told her
not to sign any papers. As the canvassers get ~
per day for their work. IL IS only fair to presume that II
will take some time 10 secure subscriptions for the
guarantee fund. To Judge from the replies given to
the applications of the it may De said that
Washington does not seem very anxious TO raise the
guarantee fund though it may be very anxious TO
secure the fair
