The dill having been read In extenso, Mr..
Oandisr, on bsnaif Of the oomnittee, onersu
On amendment providing that the commis-
sion thali appoint board OF lady managers
OF such number, and to perfoi m such duties
as may be prescribed by the commission;

Also an amendment providing that one
OF the members Of the board created to be
charged with the selection Of the govern
ment exhibit ehall be chosen by the fish
commission. Adopted.
NJ. Gambler ia opening the debate ex'
pressed the satisfaction which he felt In
being able to state that Chicago which lad
been selected by the House as site had
proved itself before the committee equal to
all that had been expected OF 1t. Tbs COM
rltttee had found that Chicago not only
comprehended the importance and magni.
tude OF the enterprise but had
entered into It with determined spirit
which had impressed upon the COMMITTEES
tue conviction that 1t would be successfu
| In itg undertaking. He believed that the
| bill was perfectly constitutional and he ad-
| vocated 1t upon Its merits, because ne be-
lieved that Its purpose was wise and patri-
! otic.
The committee was satisfied that Chicago
| had raised bona flde subscription OF
| s5,OO0,000 and was also satisfied that Obi
cago mad done more than had been ex-
pected from any competing city In agree
Ing that the subscription should De raised
| to s10000,00O.
Ia order 10 meet the conservative ele-
ment which die not favor the holding Of
fair the bill provided that the President
should rot issue bis proclamation Inviting
foreign nations until he was satisfied that
the contribution was a bona hde ons.
Mr. Gambler then offered Or amendment
on his individual motion to be considered
MS psn3lng providing for the dedication OF
the buildings of the world's fair with ap-
proprtRte ceremonies October 12thi 1872,
and further providing that the exposition
shall bs opened to visitors not later than
May lat, 1893, and close not later than
October 30th, 1893.
He said that tnis postponement was NOT
asked by Chicago; but he thought that 1t
would inure TO the benefit Of the exhibitors
who were 70 take part IN the exposl'ion.
In conclusion he said that he believed that
the fair would be grand advantage
10 evsry section OF the country:
He did not think one section would
be more benefited than ano her. The fair
would be means OF educating the psGple
and Of encouraging the inventive and In
dustrial interests of the country. The price
OF liberty was not only eternal vigilance
but progress, constant progress.
TIE House agreed to Mr.. Candler's
amendment postponing tine fair until 1888

lows:
ubsrcIs, We know that our farm lands arc
reduced in value, and although our land and
BUILDINGS are better, they aro not considered
so good ~ an Investment.
This was not offered In partisan spirit,
but rs policy, so We may know whether the

Eclipse.
BERLIN, March 24.-Ohaneellor Won
Oaprivi has addressed note to the Gsr-
man ambassadors abroad, IN which he
tntlmatea that he will continue the policy
OF Prince Bismarck.
The grant whicl Bismarck declined was
an cifsr to continue his SALARY and Off oial
residence. 1t Is rumored that Bismarck has
not seen the emperor In week.
1t IS stated that Emperor W liam has pri-
vately intimated 10 King IIumbsrt and Em.
peror Francis Joseph that there will be no
change in the German policy gsregards the
triple alliance.
The emperor has appointed 0ount Eulon-
burg, now governor of II 9sse- Nassau, Pgus-
Sian minister OF the Inter or; DR.. Miguel,
one OF the leaders OF the National Liberal
minister of agriculture and General Won
Goltz minister OF public works.
Among the numeroul statements concern
ing the crisis In government affairs Is the
assertion that the kaiser aone time ago
obtained from General Won O6privl Il MEM
orandum setting forth his views on foreign
and domestic politics, and this incident is
accepted as showing that Wilhelm foresaw
his parting with Bismarck and had pre-
pared for the emergency.
Herr Richter's Radical organ describes
Prince Bismarck's present frame OF mind
rs white neat Of passion. He ia satd to
be enragei at the calmnesS with which his
final resignation has be Il regarded by the
nation at large. and the discovery that his
personal importance In this era OF European
| progress, is not considered 50 great by
| others as by himself has thrown him into a
violent temper. 1t Is reported that the eX
chancellor intends to visit the Riviera, and
1t Is said that he will perhaps make trip
| to Paris.
