MAY CHANGE THE DATE.
The Worlds Fair Likely to Be
Postponed Till 1898.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The special
house subcommittee on the worlds fair
held another conference with the visit
ing Chicago delegation to-day, and COM
pleted the bill. which will be presented
to the full committee as soon as the
chairman can call it together. The
changes made in the bill by the sub
comittee are few, and the principles of
the original bill are closely adhered to.
The provision for national commits
sion, 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 commits
sioners be divided equally between the
two political parties. The government
commissioners are to have control of
the operation of the fair the appoint
ment Of juries, the distribution of
awards and so forth, but the
Illinois corporation. which is rec
prepare the site, construct the buildings
and retain control of financial affairs.
The president is not to appoint the COM
missloners until the Chicago men have
raised $5,000,000 outright, and have
given satisfactory assurance of their
ability to supply another S5,OO0,00O if it
shall be needed. The appropriation of
$1,5O0,000 for the government exhibit re-
mains as in the original bill, so that the
full committee can change the amount
If so disposed. There has been consid-
cradle discussion of the advisability of
changing the date of the fair TO 1898.
The Chicago men here have stated that
they are ready to hold the fair In 1892,
but they are willing to accept the iudg-
ment 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 eX-
hibitors, the time should be extended.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 10.-The

day the guests of the city of Jackson
vile. Mayor McQuaid and commit
tee of citizens went to st. Augustine
this morning and escorted them
to this city. A committee Of
twenty met them here and carriage
drive was taken over the city. At Q
o'clock luncheon was served at the st.
James hotel, with the vice president
and his wife as guests. Mayor Nc
Quade proposed the health of the vice
president, who said in response: "My
compact with the mayor was that my
visit should be quite informal and
non-partisan in character and tnat
there should be no Speechmaklng. L
cannot, however, take my departure
without expressing my thanks for the
cordial welcome which has been eX-
tended to my family and myself on the
occasion of this, our first visit to your
enterprising city and land OF fruit and
flowers. 1t has given me great pleas
ure to meet so many OF the rep
resentativeS of the business interests of
that sectiOn-the men to whose enter
prise and industry the whole country is
indebted for the great rapidity with
which the losses resulting from war
have been regained. and to whom is due
the marvelously rapid development
of the agricultural and manufact-
uring resources and industries Of
the Southern states. congratulate you,
my fellow countrymen, upon the great
results achieved since the restoration OF
peace to our common country, and again
thank you for most enjoyable day."

to be erected and the officers ana en-
ployes it is designed to employ at such
immigration port, and whether in the
opinion of the committee such island is
the best and most suitable place for
such depot. A bill was passed increas-
i'll to 800 month the pension of Gen.
Horace Boughton. Senate bills were
passed for the aScertainment Of the
amounts due to the Pottawattomie In
dians of Michigan and Indiana, and for
the taking of the census in al ska. The
senate bill to prevent the introduction
of contagious diseases from one state
to another was passed. A number OF
bridge bills were also passed, among
them the following: Across the Mis-
souri, river at Pierre, S. D.; across Trail
creek, Michigan City, Ind: across the
Arkansas river at Fort Smith, Ark;
over the Mississippi at South st. Paul:
Minn., and at Lyons, To-; over the Red
river between Minnesota and Dakota;
across the Minnesota river, in Henne-
pin county. Mr.. Lacey, of Iowa, re-
ported from the committee on elections
a aresolution for the appointment of 2
subcommittee to go to Arkansas and
make a full investigation of the Clayton
Breckenridge contested election case.
Agreed to. The house then in commit
tee Of the whole took up the Oklahoma
territory bill, but, without making much
progress, the committee rose, and the
house, at Sis, adjourned.

The Great Worlds Fair Likely

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The board
of immigration of Florida have taken in
hand the difficult problem of supplying
domestic servants to the householders
in that state. They have agreed, to sup
ply 1000 servant girls with places in
that state at wages ranging from Sc to
SO per month. These girls are to come
from Norway and Sweden. That there
might be no hitch in the arrangement
the board has asked the secretary
of the treasury if there are
any provisions of the alien
contract labor law which will prevent
the girls from coming into this country.
The board explains that no contract is
made in advance, and that the law ex-
cepts domestic servants FROM it's opera
tions. The fact that the board will,
when they arrive here, provide for
them removes them from the danger of
becoming public charge. The board
is composed of Gov. Fleming, Secretary
of State Crawford and Commissioner of
Agriculture WOmbrell. Secretary Win
dom will doubtless in day or SO an
sWer the request in the affirmative,
pointing out the safeguards to be
thrown around their plans to prevent
the law from being abused.

some 500 hands, and to manufacture

The La Belle Wagon works
at South Superior will employ upwards
of 600 hands, and will result i'm the
building up of town of $500 or 5000
people in that place during the cOmirg
year. The street work to be done this
year will employ more than 1,500 men f0E
six months and will completely metamor-
phoSe the present appearance of the
side streets, the red clay here making il
absolutely essential that paving should
be extended as rapidly as possible.
From all appearances at the present
time, the city of Superior promises TO
be the most eXcitedly busy place In
America in the year 1890. The delega-
tions from all parts of the Northwest
are numerous, and from the East much
interested inquiry ana correspondence
is pouring in from bankers, railroad
men and investors of all classes. So
that it is fair to say that this is to be

SHIFTS WITH THE WATERS.
A Water Line Takes in MI Accre-
tionS.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The Sd
preme court of the United States.
through Justice Blatchford, to-day rem
dered an opinion affirming the judg-
ment OF the circuit court for the district
of Nebraska in the case of Thomas Jeff
ries, plaintiff in error. against The East
Omaha Land Company. The case In
wolves title to about forty acres of land
on the bank of the Missouri, opposite
Omaha, formed in the course of twenty
years or more by gradual accretions.
The land company is the owner of the
lot against which the deposits were
made that resulted in the accretion of
the forty acres, and the decision is in
it's favor ON the ground that where
water line is the boundary of q
lot, the limit of the same Is
bounded by that line and shifts
with the water. The supreme court
denied the application of Miller &
Tafel, trustees, for writ Of error to the
supreme court of Ohio, to bring here
for review decision of the state court
in the case of ManniX, assignee, VS..
Elder, ct al, arising out of the litiga-
ton over the property of Archbishop
Purcell, of Cincinnati. The applica-
tion was denied on the ground that no
federal question was involved. The
following allotment was made for the
various circuits: For the First circuit,
Horace Gray, associate justice; for the
Second circuit, Samuel Blatchford. as
soclate justice; for the Third circuit

LONDON, March 10.-A terrific ex-
plosion occurred to-day in the Morsa
colliery, in Glamorganshire. Wales,
which, it is feared. will attended with
great loss of life. Later advices from
the Morsa colliery are that 800 miners
were entombed, but that many have
been rescued from the workings nearest
the main ahaft. Most Of those taken out
are unhurt, but several have received
fatal injuries. Heavy falls of rock pre-
vent the explorers from reaching the
more remote workings. The latest esti
mate is that $50 lives have been lost.
A further fall of debris has completely
blocked the shaft and renders all efforts
to render aid futile until it can be
cleared away. The latest estimate
places the number of dead at 100. Eight
bodies, shockingly mutilated, have been
recovered from the MOrsa mine. Great
excitement was caused at the pit by
rum or that appeals for help could be
heard from the entOmbed men. The
reScuers are constantly succumbing to
the effects of the gas and are obliged to
make speedy retreat.

A North Dakota Statesman At
tempts Suicide.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., March 10.-Represent-
ative Samuel L. Hess. Of Flandreau,
Moody county, Saturday night attempted
to commit suicide by poisoning, and re-
mained in a critical condition all night
and Sunday. The facts came to light
to-day, and tend to show that Hess was
bewitched by one of the demi-moude
called "Frankie," whom he solicited to
leave with him and become his mistress.
This she refused to do, and in drunken
frenzy, Hess attempted to take his own
life. Hess was one of the most popular
and able members of the legislature,
and has wife and three children at Elan
dreau. His attempt at suicide created
intense surprise among politicians, state
officials and citizens generally to-day.
The bagnio where Hess went wrong is
kept by a Madame Gilbert, and the
woman in the case is described as
homely and cross-eyed.
