Wide Acquaintance.
William Wanamaker, brother of the
Postmaster Generals, was a passenger from
| Philadelphia to Chicago on the limited last
night. His visit to the Windy City was one OF
purely business nature. Mr.. Wanamaker is
of the opinion that the projected working by
the Government of the telegraph systems in
connection with the postal department would
be of great advantage to the public. No diff.
Guilty would ensue in treating with existing
owners of lines. and in every charter granted
to such corporations there was clause under
which the Government reserved to itself power
| to buy up the property at any time. Similar
| power was reserved in the case of railroad cor
porations. Speaking of Quaker City affairs,
he said that he looked upon Fields occupancy
of the Philadelphia postofice as assured. In
relation TO national affairs, Mr.. Wanamaker
said that the assembling of the House in De-
cember would be accomplished without any
difficulty or internal disruption, though the
Republican majority was small lie thought
that the Speaker was certain to be an Eastern
man, and be regarded Reed, of Maine, as most
likely to be elected as presiding officer, whom
he regarded as an atfable gentleman and a
good parliamentarian. The Worlds Fair
would most likely, and properly, be located in
Chicago, he thought, as the people there had
the requisite money and energy to carry such
an affair to success to greater degree than
New Workers.
