THE WORLDS FAIR.

Chicago has won the preliminary battle

waged before the United states Govern

fair. The victory OF Monday Was notable
one. II was gained against great odds. and
II Was fairly won. Chicago remained from
The beginning 10 the end against the ted,
and the parliamentary NlrtOry WAS won
practically against the field. The contest
In the House was unique. IL lasted from
noon until o'clock at night. Dur.ng that
time there was continuing series of roll
calls. pom eycrs roll-call Chicago made
gains. There were eight ballots. GIN the
seventh ballot Chicago lacked only one vote
OF The necessary majority. On The eighth
ballot Chicago had three votes more than
The number necessary to choice. And
against The fairness OF the voting and the IN
legriiy OF the count no one has yet raised
any question. In can not loo claimed that
the chairman OF the special con,mittc,
on the worlds fair showed any
favoritism 10 Chicago. for he did not vote
upon any OF the ballots which involved
the question OF location. lie considered
evidently, although he dl not stale, that IL
would not have been In harmony with the
attitude OF neutrality which he had assumed
Tor MN TO voc upon amy OF the ballots for
the different cities. But he did vote against
the dilatory motion made by Wilson OF
west Virginia, az the cnd OF the seventh
ballot, when, Chicago having only one less
than majority. an attempt was made 10 Sc
clrca recess over until tomorrow. Then
Mr.. Gambler voted against the recess, to-
gether with good number of tho
New England men, who, although fayora-
bic to New York did not believe Il fair
play 10 deprive Chicago OF the chance to win
on the next ballot which IL seemed probable
that II could. The balloting were rs fol.

native, "but l will show you what II is

tree with his spear, whereupon stream

The attack began at once, front, flank

were severely wounded. but all con-

Assault after assault was made by
French, each OF which WAS repealed.

tired down the Lalas road.
AS parting shot French poured n
heavy fire into the block house at ALA

and French captured its force, eighty
nine men. Then he retreated rapidly,
so rapidly that he passed the Dallas road
before Cox's head OF column could reach
him, and rejoined Hood.
The Confederate Brig. Gen. Young
was captured among other prisoners. In
this bloody battle OF Allatoona Pass the
Union loss was 706. that of the Con-
federates, 1,142. Gen. Sherman con-
sldered their defense OF Allatoona so
handsome ana important that he made
IL the subject OF a special aud congratu-

defense illustrated 1.-The most important

board the Confederate gunboat Louisi-
ana when Farragut began his journey
up the Mississippi. and had he known
how we were fixed in there he could
have captured the boat without any diff
ticulty. The Louisiana was hurriedly
built by joining two tugs together, and
an endeavor was made TO arrange the
two tugs shafts SO rs 10 work a large
wheel between the two boats. The
deck OF the boat was covered with

engines failed and the boat was trans
formed into n floating fort. She carried
eighteen guns. While in this disabled
condition we were grappled by the Uni
ted States man-of-war Brooklyn
and another frigate. Before bes
ng grappled we used both our
broadsidei on them with consider
able effect: but after that we could not
use our guns, owing to the smoke caused
by repeated discharges from the two
men-of war. Our ports were not large
enough TO allow the escape Of smoke
caused by our guns, and il soon became
so thick that we could not see each 9TH

roof without avail, and finally drew off
and we drifted down the river. where
we grounded. When we were able 70
open the vents in the roof we found
that more than "A quarter OF our men
had been rendered unconscious by in
haiing the smoke. Had the men-of-
war continued their firing fifteen min

To n limited extent the action OF
smokeless powder has become known
through experiments with the new re-
peating arms, and also with artillery.
Earlier In the year, duIing the maneu-
vring OF the artillery brigade OF the
Guards in East Prussia, two regiments,
one consisting OF eleven and the other
OF eight batteries prabticed all day long
with the nearly smokeess powder, firing
projectiles OF different calibers. IL pro-
duced at each shot ga ball OF black
smoke about three feet in diameter,
which quickly disappeared. The ac-
counts show that the powder left so lit
tie refuse in the bore that, instead OF
cleaning II out after every shot. il was
only necessary to to pass rag through
IL now and then. In Italy recent ex-
periments with the same or equivalent
powder showed practically the same re-
suits. The new German powders made
bv the united Rhine and Westphalian
factories are also highly satisfactory in
point OF initial velocity aud moderate
pressure.
