Il. W. Downe, of Chicago, q director of
the Pullman Company, passed through last
night to attend a meeting of his board on Fri
| day in the Windy City. While in New York he
found great deal OF indifference among lead
| ing men there as to whether they should pos
sess the Worlds Fair. Several hotel keepers
told him that they would prefer the great show
should be held anywhere but in their city. Mr.
Downe naturally favors his own city, and says
that no better site could be wished for the loca-
tion of the fair than in Jackson Park. Half a
dozen railroads run their tracks right into it.
The question of location would be brought be-
fore Congress on an appropriation bill, though
it would not be necessary that the Federal
Government made an appropriation for the
purpose. The majority Of the Southern States,
and, of course, all the Northwest would favor
Chicago and since Senator Quay and Don
Cameron were similarly disposed, the chances
were altogether in favor of Chicago having the
fair. He thought it probable that Congress
would appoint a committee to report on the
different sites offered for the purpose.
Herr Paul Strohman, of Essen, Ger
many, is in town. He is connected with the
Krupp ordnance factory, and is here to in
quire into the various processes of iron and
steel as in use here. Herr Strohmann is greatly
taken with the extent of Uncle Sans domin-
ions and the magnitude of some of the indus
trial enterprises. He came here with the be-
lief that Krupp's works were about ahead of
anything this country possessed, but now freely
admits that this country contains few plants
on par with the Germans.
Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley, Chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commission, passed
through yesterday from Washington to his
home at Ann Arbor, Mich. The Judge is very
i'll, and tender of the use of one of the PEN
sylvania private cars to the old gentleman was
gratefully accepted. He said that the commits
sion had had more business before it during
the last two weeks than ever before. All the
members are more or less indisposed, while he
was positively sick, and was going home for a
rest.
Council Clerks Roland T. White and
