success in Chicago which New York had ex-
pected to achieve When the site had been Sc
lected and the bill had been recommitted 70
the special committee the members from New
York had asked the Illinois members for the
| guarantee they had promised, and 10! behold
| they had produced paper marked Exhibit
A, with some names upon 1t.
The first name was that Of E. St. John and the
amount mentioned was S3S9,OOO. He had
| asked Mr.. Springer about it and had been told
that that amount had been promised at tine
meeting of railroad men. They bad
not yet subscribed. That was the way that
subscription started out. Exhibit B. with more
names promised subscription OF S6l4.OO0.
On the back WAS a memorandum without Q
name on it promising SS64, 900.
When he had inquired in regard to this
memorandum he had been told that the SUBJ
scription book was too bulky to bring to Wash
Ington. Not dollar Of subscription had been
shown. Not single security had been offered.
Mr.. LAwLER's INQUIRIES.
Mr.. Lawler Qll.) inquired whether it was not
fact that gentlemen Of standing had not come
before the committee and satisfied q majority
OF the committee that everything was all right.
Mr.. Belden replied that the two Illinois men,
bers and the chairman had some gentlemen
before them, but the general committee had
not.
Mr.. Lawler-Did you meet Mr.. Gage2
Mr.. Belden-T did not.
Mr.: Adams-The gentleman was absent from
the city for ten days.
Mr.. Belden-He did not 60 to any other
member except the three have mentioned.
Mr.. Lawler inquired whether Mr.. Belden,
had any doubt that they would carry out the
promises they had made in order to guarantee
success.
TALK VERSUS MONEY
Mr.. Belden-I believe that if talk will do ID
they will do it, but when money is required
they do not put it up. lLaughter.l
Mr.. Lawler inquired whether the gentleman
wanted to convince the House that New York
was able to take hold of such a large fair
success in face of the fact that the Grant
monument was not yet built. [Laughter.l Chi
cago had carried out everything contemplated
by it.
Mr.. Belden-In talk
Mr.. Lawler-I make this statement that il
S25 OOO, 900 is necessary to make the fair a sue
cess in Chicago it will be raised within six
months
Mr.. Belden proceeded to argue that before
the bill were passed Chicago should be COM
PEELED to show some guarantee that the SUBJ
scriptions could be raised
Mr.. CANNoN's COMPROMISE.
Mr.. Cannon Qll.) inquired whether the gen.
tleman would agree to compromise by letting
New York have the fair one hundred years
hence.
Mr.. Belden replied that New York did not
want fair if she had to shuttle the cards the
way Chicago had.
Mr.. Mason Ill )-Do you want Chicago to
have the fair?
Mr.. Belden-Yes sir
Mr.: Mason-Is this the way you take to help
Us? Thank you. tI.aughterI
Br. Belden-Yes, sir; am better friend Of
a successful fair by insisting on provisions to
secure its success than are the men who stand
here and say, I'VE will fix it up by-and-by."
MR.. GAMBLERS AMENDMENT AGREED TO-
The House, after further debate, agreed to
Mr.. Gamblers amendment postponing the fair
until 1893.

A Battle With Fire and Gas.

CHICAGO, March 25.--A dispatch from Nor.
way, Wis. says: The burned shaft at the West
Vulcan was uncovered Friday. No smoke es-
capped but when light was lowered II was in
stantly extinguished two or three feet from tha
surface. At the rock shaft the upcast was
found to be very strong and more or less smoke
escaped. Saturday morning everything was
ready to run a skip in No. 5 shaft, aud an at
tempt was made, without success. TO eKplora
and locate the remaining fire and, If poss,ble-
extlnguish it and introduce a current of air 10
drive out the fatal gas. What can be done in
this direction is only matter OF conjecture.
In the meantime the mine is filling with water
and II may become necessary TO fill everything
below the fifth level, which will increase the
loss sustained by the mime owners to near.y

THE DYNAMITE GUN TESTS.
The Armament of the Vesuvius Satis-
factory-Shells Thrown Over y Mile.

The Secretary of the Navy has approved the
report of the board of officers appointed to
witness the tests of the pneumatic dynamite
guns of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, con-
sisting of Commander Robert F. Bradford,
Lieut. Commander Manney and Lieut.. Schroe-
der.
The report is dated Philadelphia, March IA,
and merely states the performances of the ves-
sci as far as the guns-which were loaded
with gun cotton-are concerned, without any
reference to the speed or horse
power of the vessel. Three shots
were fred, one from each gun, the charge
being about 204 pounds of gun cotton, which,
together with the structure of the shell and the
fuses and packing, made the total weights
vary from 50514 to 5l01a pounds. The guns
flight was steady the distances varying from
2, 1l6 to 2, 1888 yards.
The report concludes: 'The record shows
that shell containing 200 pounds of dynamite
or other high explosive was thrown at least
one mile by each of the dynamite guns consti-
tuting the vessels armament The ranges
attained were considerably over the mile,
being respectively 2,116, 1888 and 2, 333 yards.
Since the first sentence of this quotation con-
tains the text of the contract it will be seen
that the vessel has been proved to be equal to
the firing tests and therefore is acceptable on
that ground.
There still remains test to be made of the
horse power of the engines and the department
has written to the contractors asking them
when they will be ready for such q trial.
