THE WORLDS FAIR.


From the Philadelphia Inquirer
The debate on the worlds fair has opened up
In earnest in Congress. 1t has developed Q
strong opposition to any fair whatever in 1892
on the ground that the time is too short to per-
feet the plans on the magnitude necessary.
There is more or less Of truth in this argu-
ment, but there is one way in which fair can
be made success and that is to locate it in
washington. 1t cannot be done in New York.
For political reasons it would be dangerous to
give the fair to New York, and even if that OBJ
lection were removed there is another quite as
strong. New York would still be talking about
what it intended to do when the time came for
opening the doors and the fair would be any
thing but an enterprise to be proud of.
Neither is Chicago the place for an exhibit
ton Of SO much importance. It would be a
credit to the city, Of course, but not TO the
nation. No international exhibition can be
located so far inland and make it successful
Washington, then is the only place left for the
site and under the circumstances it would seem
as If that city alone could successfully struggle
with the gigantic undertaking.
The national capital is easy of access. The
most comfortable and elaborate trains and the
fastest too, run into it. Freight can be easily
handled and there is plenty of water front for
vessels. Erected under the eyes of the govern
ment the buildings could be designed for per-
manent occupancy and much of the rentals
which the government is now paying for pri-
vate buildings could be dispensed with after
the close OF the fair On the whole, Washing
ton seems to be the emlnently proper site for
the exhibition. and it could be pushed to COM
pletion there with rapidity which no other
city could approach. 1t must either be Wash
ington or failure.

A CORTEZ IN TROUBLE.
A Cuban Official Charged With Stealing
$685. 900 Wanted.

lineal descendant of Cortez, the conqueror
OF Mexico, was examined yesterday III the
United States court in New York on a demand
from the Spanish government for his extradi-
ton to Cuba for trial. Senior Luis Oteiza was
secretary controller in the Office of the Inten-
dente General da Hacienda or secretary of the
treasury of Cuba. FREDERICK Prado, and, as
such official had charge of the public debt &C
counts. He quilted Havana December % last
in the steam ship Olivette and, landing in
Florida, went to New York. where he was ar
rested by Detective John G. Meehan at the
Hotel Brunswick as he was in the act of ar
ranging his departure for Paris. He is charge
in the documents forwarded here with the en-
bezzlement Of Sl9S, 900 of the public moneys of
Cuba, in completely with Secretary Prado and
three money changers of Havana-Senors Juan
Remirs y Alvarez, Fernando Valdez and Miguel
Audrade LopeZ-who are under arrest in the
Fortress Punta of that city. None of the money
was found on him when caught here. and it
transpires shat he deposited $1,000 with
bankers in Havana and drew cable transfer
orders, made payable to his mother, Sonora
Francisco CorteZ and Banker Bernardo Will
nal of Madrid. Where the other $4,000 went
to is not known. The proofs offered against
the secretary controller were taken by an in
QUESTION ordered by the captain general Of

THE PENDING LIQUOR LICENSE CASES.
"But when will we get our license?" is the
question repeated day after day to the Com
missioners by some applicants who were I'M
lucky enough either to have their applications
rejected or held up when they were first con-
sidered: The reply to this question varies
Probably today" maybe tomorrow" about
Monday, las soon as the new Commissioner
gets acquainted with the regulations" are
some OF the most common, and the poor appli-
cant turns away quite disheartened. The de-
lay has been caused by the Intervention of sew
eral unforeseen difficulties. In the first place
just previous to the order relieving Mai Ray
mond the Commissioners were unusually busy
reporting on congressional bills. Then came
the majors transfer and the Commissioners did
not care to take the responsibility of approving
applications without full board, although in
several cases it was done. Several days were
lost then to allow the new Commissioner
to master the regulations. This he has done
and today reported his willingness to wade in
and finish the matter. So it is probable that
before the end of the present week Lieut.. Amiss'
precinct will at least be completed. The others
Will follow in short order. as it is the present
intention OF the Commissioners to dispose of
the liquor question during this month.

PrincetOn's Lacrosse Team.

Princeton now holds the championship in
lacrosse and is beginning to work hard to re-
tain it another season. OF last years team all
but five remain in college and will form the
nucleus of the team this spring. Many men are
now practicing daily, but not in regular order.
Capt. Graham is now arranging the candidates
IN divisions for practice, and will train the men
on the grounds back of Reunion. Payne, 81;
Graham 80; Taylor, Pc; Chaplin, 80 and
Voorhees,. 30, OF the defense; Poe. 81, and A..
Riggs '92, of the attack, remain in college,
This leaves one position on the defense and
four positions on the attack to be filled Active
training will begin March l and a series of
games will be played during the Easter recess.
The clubs most feared by Princeton are Lehigh.

GETTING READY.
The Present Situation in Base Ball
Matters.

The base ball season has opened in earnest
and the first sign of IL il seen in the scores of
the Philadelphia Chicago game at Jacksonville,
Fla. yesterday. Anson's men won by the score
of to 8, making hits and errors to hits
and errors by the Philiies. The batteries
were Vickery, Anderson, Clements and Schriver
for Philadelphia and Coughlan, Hutchinson
and Kitteridge for Chicago. The scores pub
lished in the morning papers have an odd look,
through the absence OF the old, familiar names,
but they inspire the thought that the league is
doing well to get started in the exhibition dia-
mond 50 early, thus giving the public chance
to become acquainted with the work as we'll as
the names of the new men. Wilmot played
center field yesterday and made hit and q
put out.
THE LEAGUE CLUBS.
Apropos of the endeavor of President John
d. Day to secure the Indianapolis team Presi-
dent Reach of Philadelphia is reported as say
ing: There is no doubt but that an eight
club league would prove more advantageous
But let me say right here that there will be no
freezing out done. Both parties will have to
be perfectly satisfied before will consent to
the change. It looks very much as if WASH
ington and Indianapolis will be out of the
league, nevertheless.
1t might be interesting at this juncture to
nhow "udt ITesiueuL lOung OF the league
thinks OF Mr.. Brush. He said in a recent con-
versation with STAR reporter: "Mr. Brush is
a urn man and he is not in the base ball bust
ness for money. He likes the sport and can
afford to foster it. He is successful business
man, with ample means, and with one of the
best teams in the league behind him he will
probably stay in the business
"Sllver" Flint, the veteran catcher, is to re-
tire from active work, after thirteen years Of
labor on the diamond.
THE BROTHERHOOD UMPIREs.
Secretary Bunnell of the Players national
league has announced the eight umpires who
are to serve the Players league under the
double umpire system during the season of
1880. Their names are: j. H. Gaffney, Wor-
cester, Mass; Robert Ferguson, BROOKLYN;
Alonzo Knight, Boston; Robert Matthew'S the
once famous pitcher, Philadelphia; T. F. Gun
ming. ex-catcher of the Boston and Athletic
clubs, Fall River, Mass. Charles Jones, ex-out-
fielder Of the Boston and Cincinnati clubs, New
York; w. H. Holbert, ex-catcher, New York,
and Ross Barnes OF Chicago.
NEW PHILADELPHIA PLAYER.
The Philadelphia club yesterday signed W.
T. Trey. catcher for the Highland club. He
and Becker will leave for Jacksonville in few
days.
ANsoS WANTS LAWSON.
Capt. Arson of the Chicago club is after
Lawson, who has signed to pitch for the Will
mington club. Lawson is now playing with the
st. Augustine, Fla, club, SO as to get in condi-
ton. He is doing good work and will not be
released. as he is expected to be wilmington's
star pitcher.
Chas. Hamburg, base ball player for two
years past with the Buffalo internationals, has
been signed by Louisville to play left field.

UTOPIA IN THE WOOLLY WEST.
The Nearest Approach to a Pure De-
mocracy in the Country.

Capt Frank L. Green is chairman of the
committee from Oklahoma that is here expe-
diting the business of securing territorial gov
eminent for that magic land. He is ably sec
onded by Mayor Ross of Guthrie, the official
who brought order out of chaos, by Mr.. Horace
Speed, chairman of the Cherokee commission
and Judge Robt Martin. Mr.. Speed was once
student in President Harrisons law Office and
is the prospective governor of the new terri
tory. 1t is expected that Judge Martin will be
given a territorial judgeship.
AND YET THEY ARE NOT HAPPY
"How do you run things without any law?'
Capt. Green was asked by STAR reporter.
Merely by the consent of the governed
Municipal officers have been elected, but they
have no other authority than public sentiment.
We have the nearest approach to a pure democ-
racy that the country affords-rather too near
it, in fact. We need some general authority
under which to act. We want our democracy
republicanZed. Our society needs the enamel
of law and order"
Your folks are in exactly the condition a
Dakota statesman longed for, /" remarked a by-
stander. I'm 1885 you remember South Dakota
seeded from the union and when her delegates
met in convention to adopt a constitution the
committee appointed for the purpose reported
the motto, Under God the people rule when
a member from one of the river committees
jumped up and with a good deal of emphasis
moved to amend the report so that the motto
should read, with the accent on the first two
and the next to the last words, BY God the
people rule You have
A FREE AND UNTRAMMELED POPULATION"
"But how about the expense of maintaining
municipal governmental
ave have an occupation tax which is col
lected by common consent, and then the cities
realize something from the sale Of lots belong
ing to the municipalities, but for which some
returns must be made to the general govern
ment"
SLOW was your committee that is now here
appointed?"
"The constitutional convention of lO4 men,
bers held at Guthrie last fall. after planning a
provisional government. appointed our COM
mittee, and We are now here to represent to
Congress the wishes Of our people"
''Nust have good class of people to be look
ing for laws to obey?"
Yes, they are like the fellow who. when the
preacher asked him if he believed the fish
story, replied that he not only believed that,
but wished there was something harder to show
| his faith We obey all the law we have down
there and want more to show the country wha,
| a model community We have"

Married by Telephone.

Minnie Worley, aged twenty-five, telephone
exchange operator at South, Bend, Ind. and
Frank Middleton, aged twenty five, in like
position at Michigan City, became acquainted
over the wires during their night watches.
Finally Middleton proposed in fun that they
get married by telephone and Minnie con-
sented. A Michigan City justice was called in
and performed the legal ceremony, but without
the necessary state license. This occurred last
week and passed off as a joke. Now eminent
legal counsel pronounce the marriage legal and
binding. and say Justice Dibble is liable to i'm
prisonment for performing the ceremony with
out the necessary license. The groom will go
to South Bend to see his bride and divorce pro-
ceedings will probably be instituted unless they
agree to live together.

ENVELOPED IN DARKNESS.
An Atmospheric Phenomenon Scares

remarkable phenomenon was witnessed in
Petersburg, Va, yesterday morning about 8
O'Clock. A dark and angry looking cloud passed
over, enveloping the whole city in darkness 20
intense that people were forced to light gas or
lamps in order to see to move about in their
houses, and many were frightened at the awful
appearance of the cloud, which came from the
west and moved due east In the country peo-
pie were terribly frightened and those who
were out in the fields at work ran to their
houses. The colored people were, perhaps,
more frightened than the whites, many Of
them, after the cloud had passed, saying that
they thought the judgment day was about at
