WORLDS FAIR.
Chicago Selected by the House fox
the Site.
The Bill Must Pass the Senate and be
Signed by the President Before 10
Becomes Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.--Most of the
time in the House was occupied yester.
day balloting ter site for the Worlds
Fair. On the eighth vote Chicago was
selected by the following vote Chicago,
157; New York, 107; St. Louis, 25; Wash.
ington, ls. Total, 3O7. Necessary to
choice 1s4. Chicago won the prize, in so
far as the action of the House goes, and
1T goes a long way; but nobody should
make mistake and suppose that the
performance yesterday finally settles the
Worlds Fair project. Two Worlds
Fair bills have been introduced, and
both OF them have been recon-
mitted to the committee having
the subject in charge, The vote
was in pursuance of an agreement intro
duced in a resolution adopted on the
18th inst, simply providing that the
House should ballot yesterday, so that
each member could express his choice
the roll to be called till some one
place should receive a majority of the
votes cast. So the effect of yesterdays
work will be to have Chicago named as
the place in the bill which will be re-.
ported from the committee, and that
bill must pass the House and the Sen.
ate, and be signed by the Presidet before
it becomes law. Although there was
nothing but balloting, the crowd that
packed the galleries remained to the
close, and the Washingtonians watched
to the last the dwindling of the little
boom for the Capital City. The sincere
vote for Washington was probably much
smaller than the ballots showed. Some
of the members who were opposed to
holding fair any where voted for
Washington as tho least likely place.

terrible Calamity In Japanese Waters
caused by Storm-Twelve Hun
dred Fishing Boats Lost.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-The Pacific
mail steamer China, arrived yesterday
from Hong Kong and Yokohama, Japan.
The people state that the storm which
swept along tho Bosu coast on January
"a was very disastrous. About one
thousand fishing boats, with between
2,t00 and 5000 fishermen, drifted out to
sea. Nine hundred of these boats, with
all the men aboard, we're lost. Most OF
the bodies drifUed upon the beach, and
were taken care of by relatives. The
scenes among the families and friends
were heart-rending. The same day elev.
en- boats were wrecked in the sea of To
bishima, during storm, and fifty fisher
men were drowned. January 25, twenty.
three fishermen were drowned on the
coast of Maschawa. News has also been
received of the disastrous storm which
swept tho Isle of Tukuo and Chusie
kadsusa district the night of January
20. Over three hundred fishing boats
that were out, never returned. Fun.
eral ceremonies for about six hun.
dred fishermen supposed to have been
drowned have been observed. Whole vii.
lagos are in mourning. China advices
state that the Courier d'Haiphong
chronicles the assassination of three
Europeans-M. D'Argence, wife and
son. Their bodies were found in house
that they had been occupying. The
same paper states that Messrs. Rogue
and Costa, whose abduction were pre-.
viously announced, are still detained by
bandits in the mountain Businesses.
The bandits demand heavy ransom, and
negotiations are in progress to that end.

THE WORLDS MAIL.
Interesting Statistics Regarding the We

Interesting Statistics Regarding the Work
of One Year.
An Industrious statistician has been
collecting figures relating to the postal
business of the entire world for the wear
of 1888, He develops some very sur
prising and impressive facts, in which.
however, it is exceedingly hard for the
ordinary mind to follow him. 1t is easy
to read. for instance, that in the year
1886 the people of the civilized world
sent almost 5000, 900, 600 of letters more
than LOCO, 900, 600 of postal cards, nearly
5,OOO,OOO,0O0 of newspapers and more
than l0O, 1000, 900 merchandise packages,
making in all nearly 1900, OOO, 900 of
mail parcels. But who can possibly
realize the meaning Of such figures?
We can easily follow our statistician,
however, when he proceeds to show us
what regions of the world make the
largest use of their mail facilities in
proportion to their population.
America, with very much smaller
population than the continent of Eu.
rope, sends more than half as many mail
packages as the whole of Europe. The
figures are little upward of 1000, ,OOO,.
600 for Europe and almost 1000, 600, 900
for America.
Asia sends but a comparatively small
n, mber, and Africa smaller number
sttll-iesA than one mail package in
year to every seven inhabitants of the
continent.
How great contrast is presented by
the case Of Australia, where "a letters,
cards, papers and parcels are, sent on an
average to every inhabitant annually.
Australia, indeed, makes the largest use
OF its mail facilities Of any continens on
the globe.
To circulate the worlds nail matter
no fewer than 5O0,0 200 persons are en-
ployed, and this matter is distributed
from more than 100000 post-oilces, Of
which about one-third ara in the United
