BUFFALO, August 16.-To say that the
local strikers of the Knights of Labor are
jubilant, would be to put it mildly. They

The Worlds Fair,

CHICAGO, August 1S,-The result of to-
morrow nights meeting of the worlds
fair directors is looked Onward to with
more than ordinary interest. The meet
ing is expected to be the most Important
yet held and will be a stormy one. The
directory is by no e q unit on any of
the questions to be decided. Some OF
the members go so far as to say they be-
lieve the meeting will adjourn before
settling the site question. Some of the
directors favor Jackson park; others the
lake front; the north and west sides have
their champions, while there are a few
who apparently do not know what they
want. A large sized protest from specu-
lators who have purchased options on the
Jackson park property, or the land ada
cent, is also looked for at the meeting.
Ever since the contents of Olmsteads re-
port was made known, spectators have
had a horde of engineers on the ground,
who now say they intend to show the di-
rectory that a landscape engineer does
not know what he is talking about and
that Jackson park is the best place in the
world to hold an exposition.

Tho Claytan- breckenridge Contest

WASHINGTON, August 18. -l.epresenta-
tive Marsh today presented to the house
the report Of the democratic minority Of
the committe on elections in the case of
Clayton vs. Breckenridge of the second
Arkansaw district. The report says that
with n exception the district has al
ways gone democratic and the presump-
ton should be in favor Of democratic
against republican contestants. The
theft of the ballot COX in this case is adj
mitted, but it is held that it did no change
the result of the election as the democrats
carried the district by a majority Of 140,
even allowing the republicans the dis
puted votes in every township. The re-
pors comments strongly upon the COM
mittee's way Of acting, calling it unfair
and partisan in the extreme.

Rhe Trusted Rascal Did Very Lively
Business Last Year.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The grand total Ct
money embezzled from corporations, private
firms and the United States government dur
ing the year 1889 was 81, $50, 753. The ali
nual appropriations for the United States
navy department are less than double tie
amount stolen, while it would meet the es.-
penses of the war department for three
months. 1t is about equal to the total value
of either the living animals, fresh and
salt beef, lard, leather, petroleum, woods,
or cheese exported from this country 20
Great Britain in a year. 1t is more than
equal to the combined annual exports 20
Great Britain of iron, copper, and sugar,
and two-thirds as great as the total volume
OF tobacco or maize annually exported to the
same country, these being the most impor-
tant items Of Americas export trade. The
amount would be sufficient to meet the
allowances to Queen Victoria and the
English royal family and the royal
pensions for two years, It is greater than the
total annual public revenue of the kingdom
of Servia or the principality of Bulgaria, to
say nothing of the minor German principali-
ties and duchies. 1t is also greater than the
total annual revenue of the republic of Guat-
emala, the urited republics of Honduras,
Costa Rica and San Salvador, or Columbia
and Ecuador combined. The amount is a so
greater than the cost of governing eth er
such important colonies as Tunis or Algeria
by France
