SitiOn.

SitiOn.
CHICAGO, Sept. 24.@The executive
committee of the worlds fair national
commission. having finished its labors
for the time being, adjourned this even
ing subject to call. THIS afternoon the
committee in body drove to Washing
ton park for the purpose of carefully
examining the grounds, which areSOon
to be the scene of probably the greatest
activity III connection with the big eX-
position. The party consisted of PreSi-
dent Palmer. Secretary Dickinson,
Director General Davis, the committee
members and Secretary of Agriculture
RuSk. After deliberately viewing the
park. it was the unanimous opinion of
those present that better loca-
ton could not have been secured.
Director General Davis gave at length
his views as to the best position for
exposition, while Commissioner Mar
tindale, of Indiana, explained in detail
the salient features of the site, pointing
out particularly the means of reaching
Washington park-five different rail
roads on the west, an elevated road, two
cable street car lines and four horse car
lines directly west and north, besides
the five magniticently improved pleas
ure drives leading to the corners of the
park closest to the heart of the city:
the celebrated Grand and Drexel boule-
wards. Judge Martindale said the show
ing made it evident that the Washington
park entrance to the exposition would
necessarily be the main entrance. He
then described the railroad and lake
facilities for transportation OH the east
- IL 1c4 f<,ll Of .r%h l.,
elevated railroads and electric roads
would be run east and west through the
exposition grounds to connect with the
various means of transportation ON
either side. Even with the facilities
now in operation, he declared the
grounds selected probably the finest in
the world. Before separating the COM
mittee took under consideration a num-
ber of suggestions made by Nj. III. De
Yyung, President Palmer, Hon. Mark
Mcdonald and others.

PARIS. Sept. 24.-The Matin pub
fishes letter from st. Petersburg
which declares that during the Tirard
regime Russia, hearing rumor to the
effect that France was making overtures
to Italy, proposed point-blank that
an alliance be formed between Russia
and France, but that M. Spuller, the
French foreign minister, rejected the
proposal on the grounds that it would
be impossible to sign such treaty
without the consent of parliament, and,
furthermore, that such treaty would
be useless, because Russian and French
interests were identical.

the theater tonight, taking tariff and
its results as his principal theme, but
dwelling at some length upon the edu-

or violent rant made it very acceptable
to many Republicans who are in SYM
pathy with the Democrats on the main
issue, which is the tariff. Allusions to
the Bennett law were OH broad grounds,
touching the natural rights of man, with
which the state must not interfere. At
the conclusion of the meeting Mr.. Mills

They are Il cock and hen with
black skin and comb and pure
white plumage, says the New York

week ago Friday. He says he got
them from an influential friend
who has connections in Japan.
They cost him $64. A dozen of
them we're sent at that price, but

rather small, but very pretty birds,
but The eggs The hen has laid are
larger Than those of any other spe-
cies. Mr.. Ritter has sold these
eggs at 81 apiece. The two chick
ems weigh together about seven
pounds. The hair or plumage
with which they are covered is
long and silky. A plume pulled
from the breast is seen To be made
