THE COLUMBIAN FAIR.
THE VEXED SITE QUESTION FOR
EVER SETTLED.
Washington Park Formally Accepted by
the National Commissioners De
Young the Only Dissenter.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-At the afternoon
session the national worlds fair commits
sion took final action upon the site. The
vote in favor of the grounds selected yes
terday was decisive, but not unanimous.
Commissioner DeYoung, of California,
stood out firmly in his original position
as al, advocate for an absolutely undi-
vided site, and, though unsupported,
cast his ballot in the negative. Presi-
dent Palmer asked Mr.. DeYoung if he
wanted division, whereupon Mr. De-
Young replied no, but that he wanted
to go on record as voting against any
thing that favored of double site.
During the day Mr.. DeYoung
offered an amendment to the by
laws changing the number of members
required to sign request for the presi-
dent TO call a meeting of the commission,
from thirty six, or one third, to ten. 1t
was referred to the judiciary committee,
which reported that it was too late for
action before adjournment, and asked
that no action be taken at this time
The matter was accordingly laid over.
The commission adjourned subject to
the call of the chair some time in No
vember, when the board of lady man.
ayers will also probably be convened
and when the national commission will
pass upon plans Of the buildings pro-
posed to be erected for the fair.
WASHINGTON, Sept. .23.-Acting Secre-
tary Grant, of the war department, has
addressed letter to Secretary Butter
worth, of the worlds Columbian expo
sition directory, in reference to the use
of the Chicago lake front for the Column
bian exposition. Grant says the de-
partment has arrived at the following
concluslCl:
The old harbor line two thousand feet
inside of the west wall of the break
water, Is re-established and extended
south. The restrictions heretofore ex-
listing between the prolongation of the
center OF Monroe street and Park row,
inside Of the harbor line, are removed
upon the condition that the Illinois
Central railroad company consent to
the provisions of the act of the state of
Illinois, approved August 5, 1890, and
the ordinance of the city of Chicago,
adopted September 10, 1890, and
release all claims to the land
between the points named and east of
their right-of-way.. To the necessity
for the consent OF the railroad company
in the matter, Acting Secretary Grant
makes reference to the former proceed
ings, and says in view OF the facts, it is
deemed important in the removing
OF the restrictions, that the Illinois Cen
tral railroad company should not be
LETT in position to take any advantage
of it..

BLAINE ON BARRUNDIA
THE JINGO STATESMAN'S OPINION
OF THE AFFAIR.
The Course of the Guatemala Authorities
Upheld-Captain Pitts Censured for
Protecting His Passenger.

New YORK, Sept. 23.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent, comment
ing on the Barrundia case, says" / am
able to give a brief OF Mr.. Blaine's opin-
ion in this case, which, though not
intended for publication at this time,
shows the diplomatic side OF the ques-
tion in its favorable light. The secre-
tary OF state holds that the authorities
OF Guatemala had an indisputable right
to arrest General Barrundia upon any
form of warrant legal in that
country, whenever he was found within
the territorial jurisdiction of the repub-
lie. The fact that he was on board a
merchant vessel of the United States
made no difference, nor was it necessary
that he should be shown to be actually
guilty OF any offense, prior to his ar
rest. Ii General Barrundia had de-
manded a warrant Of arrest, he would
have exhausted his rights at that mo-
ment, and any resistance would have
been at his peril. Up to the moment
when Barrundia opened fire in manner
SO frantic as to imperil members OF the
ships company and passengers, the
Guatemalan proceedings are admitted to
have been scrupulously correct and par
ticularly regardful of the feelings of Cap
tain Pitt and of the nation to which his
vessel belonged. Barrundia was not a
political refugee, for he went voluntarily
into the jurisdiction Of a country whose
laws required his arrest and trial, and
the doc rine OF political asylum
has no application whatever to the case.
So far as the investigation is concerned,
the conduct Of Captain Pitts from first
to last,in the opinion of the department,
presents most emergent subject for
inquiry. His case is regarded as stand
ing in an exceedingly unfavorable light,
upon the facts so far as they are known,
and whether his conduct was governed
by inexcusable ignorance or sordid con-
siderations of convenience or profit, is
not yet clear. Either he should not have
accepted Barrundia as passenger, or
having accepted him with the knowledge
of his legal status, he should not have
carried him within the territorial limits
of Guatemala"

CANADIAN RELATIONS
The Need of Reciprocity in Trade Felt
More and More.


TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 23.-At the an
nual meeting OF the Commercial Union
club tonight, President Goodwin Smith,
speaking of the Mckinley bill, said it is
a great disaster and will be felt much
more by the Canadian farmers than by
those having nothing personally to lose
by it. The latter class, he said, of
course can afford to receive it with
trumpet notes Of patriotic defiance.
The Mckinley bill, however, he said, is
not pointed against Canada; it is a
measure of domestic, not of
foreign policy. He read a letter
from Senator Sherman to Eras-
tus Wyman, in which the senator
said he believes with little for
bearance and moderation on both sides
OF the line, the feeling will become uni
versal that special arrangements for
reciprocity in trade should be entered
into between the two countries. The
senator intends, he says, at the first
opportunity, to offer resolution for
reciprocity and test the sense of the
senate.
Smith said Senator Sherman's state
ments were corroborated by all advces
from other quarters. He spoke OF it as
ridiculous, the notion that Americans
are always fixing greedy eyes on Canada
and plotting against her independence.
When Canada elects her own governor
general, said he, "the fisheries question
will be easily settled; but of course we
cannot expect the Americans to do for
the Canadian government, which shows
itself unfriendly to them, the same they
would do for a friendly government"

LABOR LESSONS.

Recent Strike.
He Makes the Best Of a Signal
Defeat,
And Takes Great Comfort From the
Lessons it Taught.
Speaker Reed Addresses the Pennsyl-
vania Republican Clubs-Other
Eastern Dispatches.
Associated Press Dispatches.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. %. .-Powderly
has issued circular to the Knights Of
Labor, in which he reviews the late
strike and draws some conclusions. He
acknowledges that it was clearly evident
after the first week that the men were
beaten, but adds: cit was necessary tc
teach the power that controls judges and
legislatures, that it would be an expen-
sive undertaking to attempt to destroy
manhood in those who created the wealth
that went to bribe public officials. The
experience gained by the Central man
agement in the loss of from $15, ZOO, 900
to $20,000,000, and the greater loss OF
public patronage, will have wholesome
effect in the future. The strike was de-
liberately planned in the office of the
New York Central railroad, and once in
augurated it was but Just that they
should get enough of it."
Abiding to the published sworn
confessions of Knights arrested on
charges of train wrecking, the circular
says hundreds of innocent persons
were arrested during the Southwestern
strikes, and he is convinced similar
state of affairs exists in this strike.
Many good, steadfast Knights will be
victimized and the order should not
hesitate to extend the aid necessary to
tide them over the period of distress
now upon them. The circular calls for
reprisals for the alleged outrages COM
mitted by Pinkerton's men, and says the
next legislature Of New York must be
looked to for such legislation as will
abolish worse form of brigandage than
ever existed in Italy. "We must put
speakers in this state as we'll as in 9TH
ers, and must present and push bill
which will do away with the hiring of
these miscreants."
Powderly reiterates his regrets that
the strikers had not made better pre-
paration, but though defeated, they, in
his opinion, deserved the support OF
their brothers.. He congratulates the
strikers upon having accomplished sew
eral results creating public sentiment
against Pinkertonism opening up the
eyes OF the nation to the necessity for
government supervision of railways,
etc.
The circular asks members to pay
no heed to the rumors OF the mismanage-
ment in the order; that he would
answer all charges to the general
assembly.
Powderly today announced in another
circular that on October 10th, form OF
ballot would be printed asking each
member of the order to vote either for or
against taking independent political
action in the future.

agree ANY Further.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The Republi-
can tariff conferees took respite from
their labors tonight. The situation is
now such that no good, it is thought, can
come of talking the matter over further.
The conferees have had turned upon them
all the light that can be difused upon the
only items in the bill now unsettled
sugar and binding twine-and when
they adjourned tonight itwas hoped byto-
morrow one side or the other would show
2 disposition to yield. The basis on
Which the metal and glassware sched-
dles, which have been the causes of
much contention, were settled tonight
was that on steel rails and structural
iron the duty shall remain as in the
house bill, and the duty on steel billets
is made lower than provided for by the
house bill and higher than fixed by the
senate. These were three of the princi-
pal articles, in this schedule, in dispute.
The rates fixed on the other articles in
the schedule cannot be given,
but are very generally lower than
the house and higher than the
senate rates. This last statement
applies also to the glasswareSchedule on
which were great many differences in
rates between the two branches of con-
gress. The tobacco clauses OF the in
ternal revenue section of the bill will
remain as fixed by the house, with the
exception that the tax on tobacco and
snuff is reduced two cents, instead of
four cents, making the rate provided by
the bill six cents a pound. May 1st is
fixed as the period when the tobacco
clauses of the measure go into effect.
Special licences on dealers are abolished
as provided for by the house bill.

THE BURCHELL TRIAL.
Some Evidence Developed in the Pris-
Oner'S Favor.

WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept. 23.-In the
Blrchell trial today, young Pelley testi-
fed that Burchell wore overshoes.
This tended to contradict the evidence
that Burchell's shoes were muddy and
to show that he was not the man in
Benwell's company near the swamp.
Burchell showed no more anxiety about
Benwell than would be natural in a fell
low traveller.
Charles Benwell, the murdered man s
brother, identified various articles found
on and near the body.
William Davis, civil engineer, testi-
fed that Benwell could not have walked
from Eastwood station to where the body
was found, and back, in the time al
lotted.
Joseph Eldridge, one of the brothers
who found the body, detailed the cir
cumstances ninutely. Constable Wat
son told about the Identification of
Benwell's body by Burchell, who at the
time seemed much affected and declared
he would give good deal of money to
have the murderer traced.
Medical evidence will be taken to-
row.

Winthrop sighted large whale, and
two boats were sent after it. As soon as
the whale was struck by the harpspns,
it wrecked both boats by striking them
with it's tail. The men were thrown in
to the water and two were killed.
Another had both legs broken. The
Winthrop reported having caught eight

CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS,
A Ready Market for Them in the East
This Year.

New YORK, Sept. 23.-Included in the
arrivals of California produce yesterday
by the steamer which runs in connection
with the Sunset line, were 1850 cases
and sacks of apricots, dried grapes and
peaches. Nearly one-half of these 60 to
New England, chiefly to Boston. Evap-
GRATED apricots will largely take the
place of dried peaches in the ordinary
trade, owing to the unusually high
prices that will be asked for the latter
fruit. The steamer also brought 1000
bales of Pacific coast hops. These
are important now, as they compare fa-
vorably with the moderate offering of
New York growers. There were besides
450 packages of strained honey. This
article has obtained an enlarged foot
hold in the eastern trade, on account of
its richness and purity. The best clear
white finds ready sale to druggists, who
must not use adulterated or glucosed
honey in their preparations. Amber
colored, up to white, sells at 61a to 8
cents a pound.
