The Worlds Fair Bonding Bill Opposed
by Tom Plat.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 24-The bill empower
ing New York city to bond itself for ten mill
lions to promote the New York worlds fair
encountered serious opposition in the legisla-
tune this morning, which has disturbed the
New York city senator's. Tho bill was introduced
by Senator Stewart, New York republican,
who asked that it be passed at once, as Con-
gress was watching the action of the New York
legislature and Chicago would hasten to avail
itself of New York's delay. To the general
surprise Senator Fassett, who is regarded as
the Hon. L. &. Platt's personal representative,
and Senator Hendricks, VINO is regarded as
Senator Hiscocks personal representative in
the senate, both protested against what they
termed indecent haste" and demanded that
the bill be put over until next week.
and a hearing granted. They held that the
method of spending the ten millions should be
closely examined before the bill was passed.
The New York city senators took every means
to secure immediate consideration of
the bill, but were defeated by a
vote of 10 to IL, practically q
party vote, the democrats with Senator Stew
art in the affirmative. This action prevents the
passage of the bill, certainly until late next
week, and possibly for longer time. The
friends of the New York project are much dis
appointed.

THE MIrKIEwICz BANK PROJECT.
Report That Was Denied at the Chi
nese Legation Today.

One OF the New York papers this morning
had dispatch from this city to the effect that
Count Mitklewioz's scheme for the formation
of an Oriental-American bank in China had
been revived and was likely to be carried ont
in a short time with the full sanction of the
Chinese government
The plan contemplates the right to establish
bank, to construct railroads and telephone
lines. the erection of mint and other projects
Of like character. The dispatch goes on to
state that Count Eugene Mitkiewicz has been
hard at work for two years and
that he has at last succeeded in
putting the old scheme on its feet again. with a
new set Of capitalists and with himself as the
recognized and trusted head of the concern.
The negotiations between the count and the Chi
nese government are said to have progressed to
such a stage that the Chinese minister in this
city has formally accepted the proposition of
Count Mitkiewicz for the establishment Of a
bank, and will within very short time forward
the proposition, complete in every detail, even to
the naming of the American capitalists in
terested and the amount which they will in
vest to Ii Hung Chang, the prime minister of
China, for his formal acceptance.
A STAR reporter called at the Chinese lega-
ton to find ont il there was any foundation for
the rumor and was met with fat denial of the
whole story. The secretary of the legation
said that if such a scheme had been discussed
recently it was without the official knowledge
of the Chinese legation, and he himself knew
nothing at all Of the matter. The statement
that the minister had formally accepted the
proposition and would forward it to the prime
minister of China, he said. was entirely
without foundation in facts. Such a
scheme might have been talked of in New York,
but it would not have the slightest value unless
acted upon by the legation here, and such
action, the secretary asserted, had not been
taken

The Majority Of the Subcommittee OPP
posed to Mr.. Springer's Resolution.

There was to have been a meeting Of the
worlds fair subcommittee this morning to con-
slider the Springer resolution, so as to be able
to report to the full committee tomorrow.
Messrs. Belden and Flower, however, still con-
tended for delay, and the st. Louis and Wash
ington men appeared willing that delay
should be had, and no meeting was
held. 1t may be that they Will get together late
this afternoon, but it is not expected that they
will. There appears to be a combination of
all the other members of the committee
against Chicago to secure delay and to defeat
the proposition to ballot for the site in the
House before going farther.
MIR. Hit contends that if the committee re-
ports general bill with the provision for the
site blank it will cut Washington out. Such a
bill, he contends, will have to make provisions
based upon the assumption of a large guarantee
fund being raised by the citizens, and will pro-
vide for d local finance committee to look after
the money subscribed to this fund Such bill,
he thinks, could have no application to the
Washington plan and could not accord with
the idea held by many members that the cele-
bration should be here because this is the
national capital and should be conducted by
the government.
The Chicago folks have new proposition to
offer in addition to that already made They
propose to have their city council donate the
Lake Front park as a site and to provide build
ings for the government.
Though the subcommittee had no meeting
the majority of them, who are OF one mind,
have decided in private conference that thev
will ask the full committee for authority to go
ahead with the preparation of a general bill,
without further considering the Springer

100000 FAILURE.
Reported Collapse of a Big Importing
House I'm Buenos Ayres.

New YORK, Jan. IA rumor was in circula-
ton around Wall street and among the various
commission houses today Of $4,000, 900 failure
in Buenos Ayres. Nothing definite could be
learned, as the various merchants engaged in
the trade with that country refused to say any
thing for publication until they received more
information from Buenos Ayres.
At the London and Brazilian bank here the
rumor was not denied, but the officials would
not disclose the names of the firms in this city
who were directly interested. It was learned
at some of the commission houses that if the
rumor was true it would seriously affect some
of the shipping houses in this city.
