WORLDS Fair prosneots.

The few Representatives that were at the
Capitol to-day spent most of their time
discussing the prospects Of the vote on the
Worlds Fair on Monday. Nearly all agreed
that the matter could not be settled
in one day, and some were inclined to the
belief that the greater part of the week
would be consumed before settlement
could be reached. BallotiDg on the
site is n special order for Monday,
and shonld the House adjourn on that day
without coming to a conclusion the
special order would be lost. To prevent
this the workers for the bffereut
cities are endeavoring TO effect an arrange
ment whereby the House will take a recess
from day to day until the matter is dis
posed of and thus retain the special order.
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, one of Chicago's
most active supporters, believes that the
site will be selected In three or four bal
lots, but he Is almost alone in thinking this.
1t is probable that recess will at least
be taken from Monday evening until Tues
day morning, and in this event the lobby
ing that will take place during
ity result in material change
in the status of the first ballot on Tuesday.
A number Of doubtful members will change
their votes without great deal of persua-
sion. Washington and st. Louis hope to
gain great deal by the recess.
When the site matter has been disposed
of, the bill suitable to the city selected will
be taken up by the House, and there VIII be
discussion of some length.
Cbauncey Depew was at the Capitol to-
day, but the only member he found chance
to talk to was Mr.. Moore of Massachusetts.
Mayor Grant and ex-Secretary Whitney are
also in the city and great crowd of other
New Workers are expected tonight and tor
morrow. Chicago's great contingent will
also arrive before the ballot. A number of
representative st. Louis people are in the
city and more expected.
