city at the failure of the Albany legisla-
ture, last Friday, to pass the Worlds fair
bill is now giving way to Indignation with
those who delayed the passage of the
measure. There is strong talk in public
because no one appeared in committee to
speak in behalf Of the bill The Evening
Telegram has not allayed the now ugly
feeling by printing the following in its
edition.: "The Platt wing of the republi-
can party in this state have at last shown
their hand in the Worlds fair fight. There
was an informal meeting of the committee
on Legislation. yesterday at Mr.. Chauncy n.
of a delegation to Albany TO appear
in behalf OF the bin before the
senate committee this afternoon. 1t was
expected that Depew. Root and Whitney
would 60 up there to defend the cOnStitu-
tionalty OF the proposed bill. At noon to-
day it was asccrtained that they had
changed their minds and had not gone to
the state capital. This was q great sur
PRISE to the other members Of the general
committee who are anxious to have New
York get the fair. "All SORTS OF rumOrs
prevailed" the paper says. and then states
that EEK Senator Platt had demanded that
twenty mugwumps be dropped from the
commission and republicans substituted
therefor" The demand was refused. and
Platt told them they could do what they
pleased with the bill.

PASSED THE SENATE.
After Considerable Discussion, New York
World Fair Bill is Passed,

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 29.-In the senate
to-day Mr.. Erwin from the special Worlds
fair committee, supported Mr.. Stewards
fair bill, amended by adding twenty-five
new exhibition commissioners, of whom
eighteen are republicans and four are dem
ocrats. Mr.. Cantor moved that the senate
bill be tabled, so that the bill which had
already been passed by the assembly,
would be taken up, but the motion was lost
by vote-ayes, II; noes, II. The report of
the committee was then taken up, the
democratic minority reporting against the
amendment Then the bill was taken up on
its third reading. Cantor said the addition
Of the twenty-five names was the first
effOlt to inject politics into the Worlds fair.
The amendment was an attempt to drag the
fair into politics or to throw it to Chicago.
Mr. Cantor moved that the senate act
on the assembly bill. Unless that course
was taken, he said, the site of the worlds
fair would not be the city of New York,
and Washington, Chicago, and the whole
country might as well know it. The mo-
ton was lost by party vote. After further
debate the bill as amended was passed by
a vote of 25 to 8.

Sustains the Republicans.

HELENA, Jan. 2S.-The supreme court
to day decided the Thompson mandamus
case by granting peremptory writ order
ing the state auditor to allow Thompson's
bill for mileage and per diem. Thompson
is republican member Of the legislature
from Silver Bow county, being one Of the
five elected by the throwing out of the
Tunnel precinct. The court goes into the
question of certificates and sustains the pO-
sltion of the republicans that certificates
from the state canvassing board are only
prima facia evidence of membership in the
legislature. This decision makes the re-
publican body the legal legislature.

composed of Geo. II. Ely, of Cleveland. ana
II. w. Seymour, Of Sault Ste Marie, ap-
peared before the house committee on riv-
ers and harbors to-day in advocacy of the
Stephenson bill, making appropriations
for improving st. Mary's river and Hay
lake channel, Mich. The delegation expa-
tlated upon the Importance of the improve
ments and their bearing upon the COM
merce, OF the great lakes. They remon-
strated against the continuation of
the old policy Of making insuffi-
cient appropriations for the prosecution
of these great improvements and asked the
committee to grant the full amount OF the
engineers estimates as follows: Hay lake
channel, $1.5&, ,115; st. Marys river at the
falls, S3,7S8864. The indications are that
the committee will report to the house a
river and harbor bill carrying total
appropriation of about S23,OOOOOO to
remedy in part the failure of the bill in the
last congress. Such an appropriation
would be very little larger than that made
by the last act, that of 1888.
