Washington. Jan. THE Foreign Affairs Com
mittee Of the House met to-day and discussed
questions connected with the holding of World ;
Fair in 1892. 1t is usual to leave the appointment OF
a subcommittee to the chairman OF the committee
and such subcommittee has, rule, been composed
Of three members. In the present instance however,
the matter was deemed to be Of such importance by
the chairman himself that he re.egated the task Oh
appointing the subcommittee to the entire committee
and increased the usual number Of three 10 five The
subcommittee, agreed upon, consists OF MessrS'
Hit chairman: and Rockwell, Coleman. Chapman and
McCreary Mr. Hit is, of course. in favor Of Chi
cago Mr.. Rockwell is for New York Mr. Coleman would
like to see the fair 60 TO Washington. MI Chpmah
leans strongly toward Chicago, and Mr.. McCreary Is
believed to hold the opinion that ST. Louis would be
the proper place
If if depended upon the vote of the subcommittee
Chicago no doubt would secure the FAIR but as 'dc
question is to be determined by vote in the House.
unpreiudiced by any recommendation which the com
mittee may make, much importance cannot be al
tachcd to the composition Of the subcommittee 10
