WASHINGTON CRY, April 22-Tbe fea-
nre Of the debate In the senate yesterday
On the Worlds fair till was the speech Of
Senator Vest in opposition % any blu or
any worlds fair. He did not believe the
people wanted the proposed exposition
hey didn't have time TO bother with IT, He
hen turned his attention 10 Chicago II
lad been said Of him in Chicago news
PAPER that hs had declared that in q contest
between hades and Chicago for the far, be
would support hades As Chicago news
osp>rs never led il was unnscsss1ry for
aiL1s 10 say IN q mid, AMI not TOO emphatic
way, that he made no such statement
What b. did say was that In a popular elee-
ton among the people Of Missouri for the
location Of the fair, it would b. very Close
poll between ha1es AMI Chicago As BE-
tUesa these two localities in such contest
be would b strictly neutral.
A Pew Very Odious Companions
Tns population Of Chicago was active,
energetic, aggressive, not troubled BY those
moral and conscientious considerations
which a late interview had characterized as
4irridescent dreams He had bs=n toll
that the population 0f hs1es was colnposeI
Of similar material Chicago, sides, was
full Of trusts, .nonopoli.s and combin-s, and
the latest authentic information from hades
was that they were forming there trust on
| sulphur in OTier 70 bear the market. Ths
water supply Of Chicago, be sad, was de-
fective, and in support OF tais statement he
referred 10 an article in The Chicago Herald,
| stating that instead Of magnificent lake
| supply Of pure water the only supply came
| from filthy and fetid creeks reeking with
the debris and corruption Of stocky yards Hs
took IL that the same paper which had
stated his position between hades and
Chicago had also told the truth about ta.
water supply.

CnIlom Briefly REPLIES
When the name Of Chicago was IN en-
| TONED, said CullOn, tho senator from Mis-
souri, seemed % b5 ssizsd with a kind Of
hydrophobia. The senator had said the peo-
| pie OF Missouri we're ia doubt whether they
would go 10 Chicago or bades, and this
raised the question, which place the senator
represented; but the people Of Missouri
would be at the great exposition by tens of
thousands, whether Vest liked it or not
Two More SIaps at Chicago.
Evarts thought nothing could be more
coguate 70 the proposition OF the whole bill
than tbs two features proposed by the senate
amendment-the naval review and the Col
umbus statue The whole matter 70 be Gel
sbratsd was the discovery OF America by
Columbus; the Chicago internatio nal fair
was but an incident
Plumb opposed the committees amend
ment as incOngruous and totally inapplica-
ble 20 the purpose Of the bill. The purpose
back Of the amendment was that New York
should have something TO break its fall :;
something 70 minimize the fair at Chicago
IL would, Plumb thought, be small enough
anyhow, without drawing ofyany portion Of
the people to witness a naval review. His
opposition to the naval review was mainly
because it was essentially a monarchcal idea.
