An Argument for New York.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE Temps, in resume
Of the financial results Of the exposition,
says before its close the number Of people
who will have visited the great show will
reach 100000 or more. Referring TO the
proposed Worlds Fair in America in 1892,
Temps says il is by no means as certain az
il seemed a month ago that the Americans
will select New York for the location of
their exposition. as Chigcago is making
strenuous efforts 10 secure il. Commenting
on the availabilities of Chicagoas as compared
with New York, Temps says; "We wonder
how many Chicagoans who crossed the ocean
10 visit the exposition of the first city Of
France would take the same trouble IL the
show had been held in Lyons, our second
city Of importance"

the consideration of the rules TO be followed

vessels Of the United States upon the high
seas and in all the coast waters of the
United States, except within the harbors of
lakes and the inland waters of the United
States, as a basis for the proposed interna-
tional rules.
The discussion to-day was based upon the
revised international rules and the regula-
tions for preventing collisions at sea CON
tanned in a circular issued by the United
States treasury department in Sept. 1887.
This was adopted at the suggestion of the
American delegates as a basis for action,
because II was in convenient shape and af-
forded good starting point, The votes
upon suggestions or propositions of change
are seldom taken, for the reason that after
the regulations shall have been thoroughly
discussed they will be put into shape fol
final acceptance by the committee appointed
for that purpose. and who will be guided in
their work by the expressions Of the con
ference.
