Was the Richest Man in America.

New York, Feb. 23.-The funeral OF
the late John Jacob Aston will take place
on Tuesday from Trinity chapel. Thus
passes away perhaps the richest man Of
America, certainly the head of the
wealthiest family in this country. The
benefactors of Astor and his wife, who
died two years ago, were many and
great. John Jacob Aston was the eldest
son Of the late William Aston, and a
grandson of the original John Jacob
Astor, who founded the fortunes OF the
family. He was the head of the third
generation of the Aston family. He was
born sixty-fve years ago. Ii 1875 his
father died, leaving John Jacob two
thirds share Of his estate valued at $780,
100000. During the civil war Astor
went to the front and served with credit
as aide-de-camp to General Mcclellan.
He is succeeded by an only son, William
Waldorf Astor, who was minister to Italy
some years ago.

Behring Sea Agreement.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-A Daily News
Washington special asserts that Secre-
tary Blaine and British Minister Paunce-
fote have reached an amicable agreement
on the Behring sea controversy, and the
question of damages sustained by Brit
1sh vessels will be submitted to arbitra-
ton. Details of the agreement cannot
be obtained, but it is known that the
United States will not, under any cir
cnmstances, permit foreigners to catch
seals even in disputed waters during
seasons when our citizens are prohibited
from doing SO. The dispatch says that
foreign powers have never been formally
notified before that these waters were
considered a closed sea, and foreign
fishers had nominal liberty to enter
waters from which they had not been
formally prohibited. Our seizures there
fore were illegal. The conclusion is
drawn that in the agreement Blaine
comedies this fact and Pauncefote con-
cedes the right of the United States to
prohibit poaching hereafter, therefore
the United States will pay what damages
may be assessed by arbitration, and Eng
land guarantees that there will be no
more trespassing.

Chicago Gets The Worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-In spite of
the bad day, with rain falling, the hall
and galleries of the house at noon were
packed with spectators, and crowds OBJ
structed the corridors. AL of these
people had gathered to witness the de-
Gliding struggle between New York,
Chicago, st. Louis and Washington,
upon the result of which depended the
location of the Worlds fair of 1892. A
host of representative men were to be
seen in the reserved galleries. The clerk
read the special order prescribing the
method of voting upon the site for the
fair, requiring some one place to have a
majority of the votes cast. Blount, of
Georgia, wished to know if there would
be an opportunity afforded to decide up
on the question as to whether there shall
be fair before selecting the site. The
speaker replied that under the special
order this opportunity could not be had,
and Immediately directed the clerk to
call the roll. Eight ballots were cast,
Chicago leading from the first. On the
eighth she received three more than nee
essary for achoice. The result was re-
ceived with great applause and much
among the friends of Chi
cacn.
