INVITED TO CHICAGO.
The House Worlds Fair Committee
Asked to View the Site.

Mayor Creiger and a number of prominent
Chicago men have sent formal invitation to
the congressional committees on the worlds
fair to visit Chicago to see for themselves the
proposed site for the fair and consult with the
representative men of that city. This would
involve change in the plan of the
House committee, which contemplated the
appearance of the Chicago fair managers be-
fore the committee in this city. There has
been some discussion by the members of the
House committe. in regard to the feasibility of
visiting Chicago at this time, but no decision
has yet been reached
Some difficulty ID apprehended, however. in
securing leave of absence from the House for
the entire committee. and it is probable that if
the invitation is accepted it will be by the sub
committee OF the special House committee.

1T is LABOUCHERE's FIGHT.
He Is Said to Have the Aid of the Prince
of Wales In His Inquiry.

LONDON, March Sin long letter to the
Daily Netos Mr.. Labouchere defends his recent
action in the house Of commons and declares
that after the meeting with Lord Salisbury
Probyu had prearranged interview with Lord
Arthur Somerset. Interest in the matter grows
and it is reported that the prince of Wales is
instigating MIR. Labouchere to hunt down those
responsible for the escape of the men impli-
Gated in the late Cleveland street scandals.
Tomorrow night in the house of lords Lord
Salisbury will make statemen mt in connection
with the same affair.
The presentation of Mr.. Smiths motion in
the house of commons tonight on the report of
the Parnell commission will probably be pre-
ceded by radical appeals to the speaker on the
suspension Of Mr.. Labouchere. A debate is
expected to follow such action.
