CHICAGO'S BIG VICTORY.
HER RIVALS WON'T SULK IN
THEIR TENTS.

The New York and st. Louis Men to
Make No Fight in the Senate-That
Body Expected to Give the Victor a
Much Larger Majority than She Sc
cured in the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The New York
and st. Louis worlds fair delegations went
home to-day, leaving the Senate to the
Chicago men. Consequently the Chicago
men expect, and not unreasonably, to cap
ture larger majority in the Senate than
in the House. Personally majority of the
senators are unquestionably for Washing
ton, but politically majority may be for
Chicago.
The influence Of Chairman Quay and all
the republican national committee is all
for Chicago. Col. w. W. Dudley. who, it
should be remembered, is still the Indiana
member of the republican national COM
mittee, is credited with having gotten per-
sonally twenty-five or thirty votes for
Chicago IN the House. The sectional argu-
ment will also be used in the Senate, as 1T
Is In the House. No member from west of
the Alleghanies could finally stand out
against Chicago yesterday. So all the
Chicago, even when, as in Senator Sherman's
case, they have strong personal desire
growing out of large personal interest to
have 1T here. There is some talk in the
Senate of letting Chicago have the fair, and
also provide for a suitable celebration and
memorial here. This may be carried out.
oHICAGoANs STILL BUSY.
The Chicago people are>not resting upon
their victory In the House yesterday, but
are making every effort to expedite legisla-
tive action upon the fair bill. Under the
terms of the resolution which governed he
proceedings in the House yesterday, the
effect OF the final vote was not only to name
the site for the fair, but to also recommit
the fair bills to the select committee. The
object of this provision was to secure
speedy insertion in the proper bill of the
name Of the site and the perfection Of the
details, which were necessarily left open
until the successful city was known
Chicago's representatives desire some
changes in the general bill reported, and say
that it was the understanding all along that
when the site had been named its represen-
tatives should be allowed to shape the
measure within reasonable limits to suit
necessities. There was for a time an ex-
pectation that either by increasing the
membership on the special committee or by
the replacement of six Of its present mem
bers, its control should be absolutely vested
in the winning city, but the Chicaguans
have abandoned this idea, confident that
they can rely upon the loyal support of the
committee as at present constituted.
OBJECTION TO THE CARLISLE CLAUSE
AS already stated, changes in the bill are
desired, but just. what changes, the Chicago
men have not themselves settled upon
Many of them object to what is known as
the CarliSla an1G1An1apt xuhi iCb Yn.Oujdac fOp
a United States charter and was inserted as
a concession to the constitutional objec-
tlons of some southern members. The pro-
vision of the original Adams bill for the
incorporation of board under the Illinois
law is preferred by some of the Chicago
people, for the reason that it would make
the incorporators amenable to the penal
provisions of the state law This point is
not, however, regarded as material. An
other amendment that is desired is one
authorizing the mayor of Chicago to
appoint one-half and the governor of
Illinois the other half of the 100 incorpor-
ators An appropriation of money
is also desired to meet the expense of a gov
ernment exhibit and suitable buildings for
its display.
A COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY.
The special committee is to meet to-mor-
row, and will probably hear representatives
from leading Chicago men as to further
procedure. Undoubtedly the commit 20
will be requested to go itself or send a sub
committee to Chicago to look over the site
for the fair. If this request cannot be
granted, then an effort will be made to
bring before the committee here number
of Chicago's prominent citizens, and par
ticularly those who have interested them
selves actively in the success of Chicago's
efforts to secure the fair. There is no ex-
pressed fear of any further opposition in
the House or Senate to the perfection of the
Chicago bill.
Mr.. Springer says that the New York
representatives have assured him that they
accept the situation in good faith, and will
use their influence in the Senate to help
along the Chicago bill aud do all in their
power to make the fair success.
