NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Among the
first letters to be opened from the may
or's bag this morning with regard to
the worlds fair were those from two
Iowa statesmen, Senator William B.
Allison aud Congressman d. b. Hen
defsol. Both men declined to cooper
ate with Mayor Grant for the reason
that they favor Chicago as the place to
hold the worlds fair.
Next came another endorsement for
Chicago. The mayor of Dixon, Illi-
Dois, returned Mayor Grants invita-
ton with this foot note.
What's the matter with Chicago?
She's all right 10
Following quickly on the heels of
this came still another Chicago boom.
Governor Larrabee of Iowa wants
Chicago first, but if New York is Sc
lected, then he may be counted upon.
The same NAV be said of Governor
James Z. Eagle of Arkansas, who
names Chicago as his first choice.
The mayor of LOckpOrt will favor
the city whose residents put up the
most money.
United States Senator John Sher-
man favors New York.
Quite a number of letters favOriDg
Chicago and other points were re-
ceived.

DETROIT, Sept. GA deal of great
magnitude is in sight and although Hi
ram Walker. the only one near here
who is interested, denies it, it is
undoubtedly true. A gentleman who
has been interested with Mr.. Walker
in his various schemes, il. authority for
the statement.
Some time ago Hiram Walker who
owns the great distillery in Walker
vile, just across the river from Detroit
and has 3 .OO0, 900 gallons of whisky in
his warehouses. conceived a scheme for
getting all the distilieries in Canada
under one management, and took
J. b. Weiser. the large distiller, and
Goderam 81 Werts, of Toronto in with
him. They decided to send men
to England to confer with English cap
italists and form trust. Walker sent
his son, F. I'll. Walker, and he was ac-
companied by j. p. Weizer. They are
nowin England, accompanied by one
OF the abiest lawyers in Canada, and
it is probable that the deal has
been made. 1t is said to be one of the
largest money transactions of recent
times. Every gallon of whisky in Can
ada will be bought and the distilleries
win go with II. The duty on whisky
which Walker and Goderam and
WeTtze now own will amount to over
% 900, COG, and this duty must be paid
the government before it is moved.
