WASHINGTON, March 25.- Immedi-
ately after the approval of the journal
Mr.. Gambler, of Massachusetts, called up
fer consideration the worlds fair bill.
The bill was read in extenso. An
amendment was adopted providing for
the appointment Of a board of lady man
ayers to perform such duties as may be
prescribed by the commission. An
amendment was also adopted providing
that one of the members of the board
created to be charged with the selection
of the government exhibit, shall be
chosen by the fish commission.
Mr.. Gambler opened the debate and ex-
pressed the satisfaction which he felt in
being able to state that Chicago had
proved itself before the committee equal
to all that had been expected of it.
Mr.. Gambler then offered an amend
ment, TO be considered as pending, pro-
viding for the dedication of the buildings
of the worlds fair, with appropriate GER
emonies, Oct. 12, 1892, and further pro-
viding that the exposition shall be
opened to visitors not later than May /,
1893, and close not later than Oct. 80,
1898. He said that this postponement
was not asked by Cnicago.
MIR. Belden. of New York, gave notice
that at the proper time he would move
to recommit the bill until such time as
Chicago should produce bona fide sub
scriptions to the amount of $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Carlisle offered an amendment,
which was adopted, providing that the
government buildings be built of such
material that they could be taken out
and sold al the close Of the exposition.
Mr.. Cummings, of New York, said
that some months ago he appealed in the
house for fair. play towards New York.
and he now appealed to the house for
fair play towards Chicago. New York
had fair play in the house but lost the
fair through the treachery in her own
ranks. There was a Benedict Arnold in
New York. More than that there was
no jocky of Norfolk to receive a warning
before her natural geographical allies of
New England and Pennsylvania, were
led into the ranks of the enemy. For
himself. he would stand by the commit
tee because he believed it manly to do
90 and because he believed it his duty as
q member of congress from New York
City to do 30 1t had been a fair fight
for the fair in the house. The New
Workers met the enemy, and, said Mr..
Cummings, 1--WE were theirs. He
closed by saying that he believed he
would honor himself, his city, his state
and his country by standing by Chicago
and doing all he could to make the fair
there q success.
Mr.. Frank, of Missouri. said nothing
should be done to retard the progress or
imperil the success of the commomora-
ton of the great historical event in Chi
cago. The honor Of the entire country
was involved in the success of the expo
sition. Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, Nc
Adoo, of New Jersey, and Mansur,. of
Missouri, who had, before the selection
of site, respectively favored Washing
ton, New York and st. Louis, earnestly
expressed hope for a successful fair in
Chicago.
Mr.. Belden then offered his motion to
recommit, but it was defeated without a
division. The bill then passed--yeas,
202; nays, 40.
The house then, after an unsuccessful
effort to go into committee of the whole
ON the Wyoming admission bill, at 5:45
p. m. adjourned.
WASHINGTON. March 21.-The house in
the morning passed senate bill for pub
lie building at Burlington, Iowa, at a
limit of cost of 100000 (tbe appro-
priation clause being struck QUIT and
house bill for building at York, Pa, at
q limit of cost Of $S0, 600.
The house then resumed the Maryland
contested election case of Mudd vs..
Compton, and Mr.. Compton addressed
the house on his own behalf. Mr.. Nc
Comas, of Maryland, spoke in support of
the claims OF Mr. Mudd. and Mr.. Cooper,
of Ohio, closed the debate in favor of
Mudd's admission. The house, by vote
of 1855 to 145, declared Compton not en-
titled to his seat. Mr.. Mudd then APP
peared and took the oath of Office, amid
much applause from the galleries.
