publishing the following from its London

Ferdinand of that illustrious family has
had the glamour thrown over him by Prin-

to know her own mind.
Naturally, there are all sorts of stories

majesty, the joining together of these two
persons in holy matrimopy will be the event

A SIGHT o. TROUBLE.

Ended by the Final Selection Of Site
For the Big Show.
CHICAGO. Sept. 22.-World's fair site ques-
tion has been settled by to-days action. In
the morning the South Park commissioners
agreed to add Washington Park to the por.
tions of the South Park system already Of
fered to the commissioners. This was IN
accordance with the resolution adopted by
the national commission, last Saturday
At this afternoons session of the national
commission, the amended site proposition
was presented and unanimously ac-
cepted. The site thus provided for
includes Washington and Jackson
parks, Midway Plaisance, connecting
them, and Lake Front park,
in all about one Thousand acres. In a sense
the chosen site is one great unit, conpris-
ing, as it does. the entire South Park sys-
tenn of Chicago, the finest of any in the
CITY. The enthusiasm with which the ten
der was received by the national commits
sion showed in marked contrast with the
reception of previous propositions. By a
resolution adopted early in the day the ma
self to regard the offer of such site as the
final settlement of all questions relating to
the site, and when the park commissioners
promptly responded the exact location of
the big exposition at last was finally fixed
there was an outburst of cheers.
Stepping from the doors of the city rail-
road depOts, hotels and business houses
visitors to the Worlds Fair will, as it were,
enter directly the vestibule of the exposi-
tion on Lake Front. This Lake Front is a
strip of park comprising sixty acres, bor-
dering the shore of Lake Michigan. Lead
ing from it the finest boulevard of the city
goes directly to Washington park, and con-
Meeting with the latter is Midway Plais-
ance, which ends in jackson park. Like
Lake Front, one side of jackson park is
washed by the waters of Lake Michigan.
The greater portion of the site is one vast
network of pleasure drives, inclos-
ing great stretches of meadow and
groves of oak. Adjoining Washing
ton park is a race track capable Of
accommodating $1,000 people, and this the
local direct Dry expects to make part also
of the site, for the purpose of speed display
and live stock show. This improved
race track, where the live stock show will
be made, is within 100 yards of the point
selected for the main building, thus plac-
ing the whole fair in one compact quarter
of the city, including the government dis
play and displays to be made by various
states in conjunction with the main exposi-
tion buildings. The site selected and the plan
of buildings proposed is generally regarded
as calculated to be especially gratifying to
the live stock men of the country. There is
great rejoicing in Chicago tonight by all
classes over the final settlement of the site
in a way that gives satisfaction.

Fatal Shooting ARRAY ON a Principal
Street i'm Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-To-night a fatal
street affray between bfothers-in-law ended
a remarkable contest for the possession of
fortune of 100000. Alfred Richner several
years ago was the husband of a noted
brothel keeper. Notwithstanding this and
his unsavory record Richner succeeded in
clandestinely working himself into the good
graces of a daughter of wealthy -four
and feed dealer named Kessler.
Upon Kessler's death the daughter, who
seems to have been somewhat simple mind
ed, disclosed her attachment for Richner.
The instant opposition of the family to any
recognition of that worthy resulted in
prompt elopement of the couple to Mon
treal. Richner, later, went through the
brothel-keeper, and having his marriage
with Miss Kessler legalized. They then re-
turned to Chicago and a feud was soon en-
gendered between Richner and his new
wife's brother. The latter charged Richner
with being actuated solely with desire to

LONDON, sSept. 22.-McAuliffe was Al.
rested at his lodgings in this city. Slavin
was arrested on his arrival from his train
ing quarters. Upon his arrival at the rail-
way Slavin entered cab and was immedi-
ately placed under arrest. Hewas conveyed
quietly to the Lambeth police station, where
both were arraigned and bound over in
s., 900 each to appear tomorrow.
Richard X. Fox, of New York, in an inter-
view, denounced the arrest of Slavin and
McAuliffe as an outrage. He said twas not
proposed to have prize fight. but only q
limited round contest with ordinary gloves,
and there was no reason why the police
should interfere. Both men were in splen-
did condition and anxious to have fair
contest and the police had no reason to an
ticipate breach of the peace. The fight
was to be nothing but what often occurs
openly in England and America. Bemple,
proprietor of the Ormonde club, said he
believed the management Of the Pelican
club was at the bottom of the matter. 1t
the fight had been arranged by the fashion
able west end club the police would not
have interfered. In his opinion the Peli-
cans were Jealous and he had expected all
along that they would try to stop the fight.
He did not believe there was anything
''snide'' about the two fighters. who were
both anxious to see which was the better
man.
