Immediate selection i,of IA site by q. the
House, aud pointed ont how delay jeop-
ardized the chances Of the fair. He said
that the Committee on Foreign A fairs
had been working for some time on fair
bills, and had practically completed pre-.
liminary arrangements. Z All OF the re-
suits Of their work could be made use Of

DOUBTS A FAIR WILL DE HELD. Z,
Mr.. Bowden at this point expressed a
doubt as to whether any fair could be
held in 1902. It should be settled first
that the government will only aid the
fair before the. attempt was made to Sc.
lect a site. This brought the Washing.
ton men, to the lloor with a strong obiec.
tlon:ig They contested that to adopt Mr..
Bowden's course would result in com.
bining all OF the other contending cities
against Washington, which must rely
upon, government financial 4 aid. Mr..
Bowden's idea was that a historic cele.
bration could be held in 1892. to be fol.
lowed a year later by the Worlds Fair.
y The Chairman's attention was here
called to the language of the resolution
under. which the committee was appoint.
ed. which speaks of a aWorld's Fair! ii
1892, and the point ;was made that; the
committee had no alternative and could
deal with no proposition that did not
concern a fair to be held in that year. II
d Mr.. Frank, OF Missouri, offered reso.
luton, that the Springer resolution (pro.
viding for balloting by the House next
Thursday be referred to a subcommittee
Of three, with instructions to report at
the. next committee meeting. i Subse.
quently the motion was modified so as
to make the Chairman of the full. com.
mittee also chairman OF the sub-com.
mittee and to have it report on it Thurs.
day. ,; III s,jJ "a sii3
y Mr.. Springer said thatIif this motion
was defeated he would move to modify
his proposition SO as to have the debate
in the House next Monday and ballot.
ing on Tuesday, as suggested by Mr..
Flower. I! y
III NEW YORK; MEMBERS TAKE ALARM.
The New York members took alarm
at this, however, rs it was apparently the
object Of Chicagoans to get the Chair.
man to vote and ascertain his views.
The Chicagoans had calculated on Nfr.
Flower voting with them in. support Of
his own proposition. + This would leave
the remaining three members present
besides the Chairman in opposition and
compel the Chairman to vote to break q
tie, and it was not regarded as desirable
that the Chairman should be committed
at this early date. II i Il
when Mr.. Franks resolution was put
the two Chicago men found athemselvea
alone in opposition, and prevailed !; 80
the Chairman was instructed to appoint
a subcommittee to consider the Springer
resolution and report next Thursday,
when the committee will meet again.
The subcommittee WIS appointed as fol.
lows: Chairman, Gambler, and Messrs.
Hit and Flower: y The committee dc.
cided to hear arguments respecting the
site Of the fair. Then the committee I'D.
journed till Thursday. Y; ;!E.
