THE WORLDS FAIR.

lBy United Press1
WASHINGTON, March 17.-With the
the exception of one section, the Worlds
Fair committee is ready to report to the
House. This section, however, is not in a
fair way to be disposed of easily. It con-
Germs the financial plan on which the
Fair is to be conducted, and it caused
long controversy at the meeting of the
committee on Saturday.
This morning when the committee
met the members present were Chair
man Gambler and Messrs. Hit and Sprin-
ger, of Illinois; Belden, of New York, and
Hatch, of Missouri. The trouble was
taken up, but it soon became obvious that
the committee could come to no agree
ment on it, and it was passed over for
the present. The eighth section, which
provides for the time of holding the Fair,
was also the cause of some discussion.
Mr.. Gambler offered an amendment,
providing that Centennial Celebration
be held on Oct 12, 1892, and the Fair
be in the following year.
Messrs. Hit and Springer, as Chica-
go's representatives, declined to vote on
this amendment, and it was voted down,
Messrs. Belden, Hatch and Flower vot-
ing in the negative.
Another amendment fixing the time OF
holding the Fair from April 30th to Oc
! tober Goth, 1892, was offered and carried
An adjournment was taken without
further action

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Another bill
to provide for the election of members
Of the House of Representatives was in
trodnced in the House to-day by Mr..
Harris on Kelly, of Kansas. Under its
provisions members of the House are to
be elected in each State by districts, to
be fixed by Congress. Immediately upon
the publication of the returns showing
population in each State, and the
determination of the basis of repre-
sentation, the districts are to be
made up of contiguous territory :;
and no county is to be divided unless it
contains a population equal at least to
one and half times the basis of repre-
sentation. In case Congress shall fail
to arrange the districts of the several
States after any reapportionment, at
least ninety days before the next elec
ton, the members of the House shall be
chosen in each State at large, and not
under the former redistricting. The
district Judge of each district is directed
to appoint member Of the bar to be
Commissioner of Elections for that dis
trict, to receive 81 500 per year.
| The Commissioner is to have general
supervision of the election and to ap-
point registrars, one in each precinct,
who are in turn authorized to appoint
four judges of elections, not more than
two of whom are to be of his political
party. The names of persons prevent
ed from voting are to be certified to
each election commissioner by the regis
trars. The elections are to be conducted
according to the Australian system. Al
the expenses of tho elections are to be
| borne by the United States.

(By United Press
WASHINGTON, March l7.-In the Sen
ate to-day Mr.. Voorhees, offered pre-
amb.e and resolution reciting that the
farming interests are laboring under
great depression, and resolving that
Congress lay aside all other matters to
consider measures for the good of the
farmers lie gave notice that he would
speak on the resolution on Wednesday,
and would suggest the remedy for exist
lag evils.
At 2:10 Mr.. Daniel addressed the
Senate in support of the Blair educa-
tional bill He thought it right to
throw out Of the discussion the
declaration that the bill could be looked
upon in any light as bill of mendcan-
cy. He could see no more propriety. in
declar ng that bill aopropriating pub
lie funds for purposes Of education was
a bill to fill the hands of .beggars, than
any other Appropriation measure that
might come before the Senate.
Mr. Morgan asked Mr.. Daniel whether
he desired to increase taxation on the
people OF Virginia by the amount ap-
preparation made by the Blair bill. Mr..
Daniel replied that he did not wish to
increase that taxation in the form in
which it had been drawn from the peo-
Pile The bill would be said, an assu-
rance to the people of the South that the
Federal Congress held them and their
situation in cOnsiderate remembrance.
1t would be an indication to the colored
people of the South that those who preach
ed generosity were willing to practice it.
He put the question whether the agricul'
tural classes desired the passage of the
BILL and said that they did. They were
under weight of taxation which they
could but i'll hear under the cir
cumstances of their situation. They
would welcome well directed apprO
priation from the Federal treasury that
would give enlarged school accommoda
tions, al that would carry the schoo
house King Alfred carried Justice
TO ever mans door. They would re
ceive tha bill in the cordial spirit il
which il gas rendered

The work done here has been thus far
encouraging. The most serious obstacle
has been the prevailing influenza which
