CHICAGO'S FAIR BILL.
The Subcommittee Ready to Report
to the Full Committee.

The subcommittee Ready to Report
to the Full Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 10. - The special
House subcommittee on the worlds fair
held another conference with the visiting
Chicago delegation to-day, and completed a
bill which will be presented to the full COM
mittee as soon as the chairman can call it
together. The changes made in the bill by
the subcommittee are few, and the princi-
pies Of the original bill are closely
adhered to. The provision for a ma.
tional commission, composed of
two members from each state,
nominated by the governors and
appointed by the President, has been
retained, but an amendment has been added
providing that the commissioners shall be
divided equally between the two political
parties.
DUTIES OF THE COM MIsSIoNERS.
The government commissioners are to
have control of the operation of the fair,
the appointment of juries, the distribution
of awards, etc., but the Illinois incorpora-
tion (which is recognized in the billy is to
prepare the site, construct the buildings,
and retain control of financial affairs.
The President is not to appoint
commissioners until the Chicago men have
raised S5,000,000 outright and have given
satisfactory assurance of their ability TO
supply another S500O,O0O if it shall be
needed. The appropriation of 81, 100000 for
the government exhibit remains as in the
original bill, so that the full committee may
change the amount if SO disposed. There
has been considerable discussion of the ad-
visibility of changing the date for the fair
to 1888. The Chicago men here have
stated that they are ready to hold the fair
in 1892, but they are ready to accept the
Judgment of the full committee upon this
proposition. 1t is understood that the
Illinois members of the House, however,
feel that in justice to the foreign exhibitors
the time should be extended.

vase and Flooding the Country.
NEW ORLEANS, March 10-A special to
the States from Arkansas City says: 'The
levee broke about six miles above here, at
Sappington Hook, at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The break occurred at point
where the levee was about seven feet high,
and was due to the fact that the levee was
built largely of sand. Since the break the
crevasSe has not widened materially, and
strong effort will be made to stop it. Capt.
Sollinger, government engineer, has gone
up to make preparations, and he proposes to
stop it if possible.
GOVERNMENT BOAT ON THE WAY.
The government boat Vidalia will be up
from Greenville some time tonight with a
pile driver and screw. A barge is being
loaded with bags of dirt, which will be
taken up by the Vidalia. A large force of
men will go up, and if it is possible for the
crevasse to be stopped it will be done. Con-
siderable water has come in already, but it
is filing up the back country, and so far
there is no water in the town. 1t
will be a day or two before this
place is flooded if it is flooded at all. II the
break is not stopped the water coming out
through the crevasse will eventually fill up
the Tensas river and overflow the Tensas
district, there being no protection between
here and Louisiana and the crevasse. The
river has not risen here to-day, but as the
rise continues all the way above to Cairo
we cannot hope for a genuine decline here
for week or two"
