THE WORLDS FAIR.
President Palmer Preparing for Active
Work at Once.

CHICAGO. Ill, August 7.-President
Palmer of the worlds fair commission, ar
rived in this city from Michigan late last
night. His visit to Chicago, he said, was
caused by a desire to consult with the
directorsin the hope to expedite matters.
1.-THE chief thing now" he continued, is
time and it can not be bought with money.
The classification, too, IS a
vital and immediate necessity.
| have no precOncelved ideas
regarding the directOr-generalship, though
his appointment will be one of the first
duties of the commission. He must be a
man of great executive ability, possessed
of tact and energy, and able to act at once
without consultation with others. When
the local board is ready for active work
they viii not find the commission far be-
hind either in following or taking the
lead. The commission will defer in every
thing possible to the local board. You
may say, however, that the director
general is to be elected by the whole com
mission and not by the directors nor by
myself nor by the executive committee, as
many suppose. If | find matters sufficient
" advanced | shall recOnvene the commits
sion a month earlier than originally in
tended, though they are so scattered
that they really ought to have a month's
notice.
President Palmer cleared up one point
regarding which there has been much CON
tention and fears. When asked if he in
tended appointing all the Chicago
members of the lady board of directors
from one coterie-and some hoped he
wOuld-he replied, emphatically and
with a Taught: well, not if | know
it. Those appointments will be mad
from all organizations claiming recogni-
tion and only after [ have consulted with
friends who know about them"
Secretary Benjamin Butterworth of the
Worlds Fair directory in an interview
this evening advocated a substitution of
Washington park for jackson park as q
part site for the fair. Washington park
is near Jackson park, equally as large, and
has the advantage of being on high, dry
land-a fact which would enable the di-
rectors to turn to other purposes the great
fund proposed to lie expended for drain
ing jackson park.
President Palmer, of the worlds fair
national commission, held a conference to-
day with the executive committee of the
directors. Mr.. Palmer announced that he
would call a meeting of the national COM
mission on September - instead of a
month later. The manner of selecting
directOr-general was discussed, and
the choice of one was informally
left to the national cOmmitte eX-
clusively. 1t was agreed to empower
Romayn Hitchcock, now of the Smith
sonian institute, Washington, to visit
China to promote the interests of the eX-
position and secure from that country an
extensive exhibit. A telegram from Land
scape Engineer Olmstead, of Boston, was
read. saying he would be in Chicago Satur-
day to take up the subject of the improve
ments needed at the South parks. Before
adjournment a resolution was adopted di-
recting that services Of one or more of the
responsible officials of the Paris exposition

OELMAN'S RESIGNATION.
The Chamber Of Deputies Votes to Ao-
Cept It.

LONDON, August "A dispatch to the
Times from Buenos Ayres says: After the
reading in the chamber of deputies of
President Celman's message rendering
his resignation of the presidency, General
ROca invited the members to express their
opinion as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of accepting
it. General Mansellaopposed its acceptance
on the ground that such action by the
chamber would be an admission of the
revolution and of Buenos Ayres over the
other provinces of the republic. General
ROca explained that he had sacrificed him
self in order to show utterly impossible it
was for Celman to continue in the presi-
dency after the mistakes made by the
members Of the presidents party. Nobody,
ne declared, could serve man who had
shown such complete incapacity. He had
gravely compromised the country. 1t was
not Buenos AyreS alone which opposed
President Celman, but every honest man
was against him. General ROca's remarks
were greeted with applause.
The vote in accepting the resignation
was taken i'll dead silence, but when the
result was announced showing a majority
in favor of accepting it, the chamber re
sounded with cheers.

The Center OF Population.

In 1920 the center of population was
twenty-five miles west of Baltimore. Since
that time it has moved westward at an av-
erage rate of about tifty-one miles in each
decade, never deviating degree north or
south of the thirty-ninth parallel. The
greatest progress was between 1850 and
1850, when it travelled eighty-one miles
from point in Virginia to twenty miles
south OF Chillicothe, o. This of course was
caused by the gold excitement and conse-
quent settlement of the Pacific coast. In
1870 the center of population was forty
eight miles northeast of Cincinnati, O.
The census of 1880 showed that it had ad-
vanced ffty-eight miles in the decade and
had detected to the south, being near Tay
lorsville, KY. If this westward movement
continues at the present rate it will cross
