PLEADING FOR NEW YORK.
WAsHiNGroS, Jan. 1.-THE Senate
Worlds Fair committee met shortly
after 10 o'clock Mr. Chauncey NJ
Depew opened the hearing. He said
that there were 100 of New Yorks lead
ing citizens prsEssrs representing every
business interest he described the
great Paris Exposition. and spoke of the
impression made by ths exhibit
there and Of the wisdom OF holding
a like exposition in this country. II
being settled that this was 20 be
purely National affair, now came the
question where IL should be held. In
ternational eIpositions, be said, had
never been success, unless hela az the
metropolis Of the country. II the
citizens OF ST Louis, Chicago and
Washington would lay aside local
prejudices and view the matter With
fair mind, they would realize that
they would not go 70 the tair held In any
smaller city of Great Britain OF Europe.
but if the fair was held At Londsn or
Paris or Berlin, all would go. New
York, he said, was without doubt the
metropolis OF the United States. There
was not an industry, be said, that had
started. OF wished to start that did not
come 70 New York and establish its
headquarters II was, he said, the great
financial barometer Of the United States
Unless great mum bers visit the fair
daily II is failure, and no other city
could supply the number Of constant
a
ply. II was very well to draw circles
demonstrating that Chicago or St. Louis
was the center OF a creator population
than was New York. He was born at
Peekskill. on the Hudson. circle
drawn around that place, he said, in
cluded many great clties and represent
ed a great number OF people, but Peeks
kill was not an aspirant for the fair.
Within tho limits OF what constitutes
the city of New York, Jersey City. etc,
etc. you have three Chicagoex Eight
millions OF people in the vicinity could
visit the fair At New York for sum
OF not more than two dollars and from
that down TO five cents. On the trans
portation problem, he said, depended
largely tho success OF the fair. Two
hundred thousand people wishing TO &c
home from St. Louis or Chicago could
not disperse at the rate OF more than
25, 900 per hour and this would take
eight hours. and the next dsJ the fair
would close. New York could dis
tribute the crowd more rapidly than
was done at Paris. Referring 20 Ia.
financial problem be said that the eK-
position could not go on credit II
would not be possible 70 sell bonds,
SO the chrome business" could rot be
success. Chicago and ST. Louis had
guaranteed funds of 81 900 600 each,
New York q oollectable assessment OF
s.. 500, 900. The bill was now ready 20
be presented TO tho New York Legis-
laturo authorizing tho expenditure Of
$40. 900. 900. which. he said. would pass
without dissenting voice. On the sub
ject OF climate be said that s,erY eiti-
zen of Washington. Chicago and St
Louis. who had the means. Was in Ees
York m Iuly and August 20 escape The
