COLUMBIAN FAIR.
THE COMMISSIONERS DECIDE ON A
LOCATION.
Sites Selected-Much Opposition TO the
Choice-The Dairymens Request.

CHICAGO, July 2.-The worlds fair
national commission this afternoon
formally accepted the joint site, consist
ing Of the lake front and Jackson park,
as the location for the Columbian expo
sition, by vote of 7S to II. This con-
clusion was not reached without much
discussion. In fact, when the question
came up the opponents OF this location,
as offered by the local board of directors,
seemed to number about as many as the
advocates of it. Various resolutions
and amendments, expressive of the
views of individual commissioners,
were offered; but after the commission
ers had listened to the detailed explana-
tion of the directors, vote was taken
on the proposition to accept the site as
rendered, with the result above given.
Before this matter came up communi-
cation was received from the National
Dairy Association, asking that consider
alton be given to that interest as its
financial magnitude warrants. A reso-
luton that committee in this interest
be appointed was referred to the COM
mittee on organization.

Profits in California Prunes.

l have never known a better market
for our prunes than now, and 1 have
owned a 48-acre prune orchard for twelve
years. The man who has good, bear
ing prune orchard and does not make a
big thing from it this season, is wholly
at fault. The. trees are loaded down
with fruit, and there never was such a
demand for California prunes. l have
had thirteen buyers after my crop,
which will amount to not less than 220
tons, at the rate of $40 ton, or cents
pound. have refused all these offers.
and SO have my neighbors refused offers
for their crops. Now am offered even
21a cents pound. l am still refus-
ing, and there are many of US
fruit-growers who will not sell for less
than $55 ton, or pa cents a pound.
There is regular boom in prunes
up here and the buyers are getting red
not. Some of the prune-growers who
sold at 2 cents pound early in the
season are mad enough to choke them
selves now, when they can get more
money. am going to make my prune
crop net about $11 ,0OO.-[L. F. Thomp-

FIVE CENTS.
An Austra1asian Empire

''The sentiment of an Australasian
empire is spreading" said A. B.. Rogers,
barrister from Sydney, New South
Wales, at the Grand Pacific last evening.
Encouraged by their rapid advance in
population and wealth, the colonists
feel that they should divide the rule of
the Pacific with the United States.
Some excitement has been caused lately
by the step taken by the colonies
for the acquisition OF navy ex-
clusively for colonial purposes. The
ships will be built in England and the
money raised in Australia. It is now
almost assured that inter-colonial free
trade and union will be established.
Then there will be another country
not unlike the United States. The Aus
tralian colonies have been studying the
question of defense for a number of years.
They are great distance from the
mother country and are exposed to at
tack in case Of England's trouble with
other powers. With navy at it's
command Australia could forcibly object
to encroachment in Polynesia. While
the people OF Australia like to see. Eng
lish and Americans settle in Oceanica
they recognize that there is no room for
the great influx of French and Germans.
The idea of Australasian union includes,
besides the continent of Australia, Tas-
mania, New Zealand, New Guinea and
the Fijis. With this view the estab-
lishment of the French in New Gale
donia is an encroachment upon what is
called Australian territory Australia
does not aspire to extend its influence
over all the Pacific ocean, but it's people
want independent power, with enough
force to maintain its rights. ."-[New

WASHINGTON, July 2.-President Har-
rison today sent to congress a message
transmitting letter from Secretary
Blaine upon the reports adopted by the
Pan-American conference respecting

the secretary says in part: "The repre-
sentatives Of the various countries COM
mend the cooperation of various coun-
tries for the establishment of one or
more subsidized steamship lines of the
first class between San Francisco
and Valparaiso and intermediate
points, each country to pay a
Share proportionate to their population.
Between the United States and the ports
OF Brazil, Uruguay and the Argentine
Republic, it is recommended that fast
subsidized line be established, and an
auxiliary slower line between the United
States and Brazil to stop at minor
points.
The president in his message says he
cannot too strongly urge upon congress
the necessity of giving this subject i'm
mediate and favorable consideration and
making adequate appropriations to carry
the recommendation into effect; and in
this connection calls attention to what
was said on the subject in his annual
message.
