Col. Alex. Campbell, the Worlds Fair
Commissioner 70 Australia, arrived IN
| Wheeling Yesterday. and spent large por-
| ton of the day greeting his friends and
| talking over with them the wonders OF the
antipodes Col. Campbell, who has been
| absent on his trip for six months or more,
| is looking extremely well. He says there
is very favorable sentiment towards the
Worlds Fair in Australia, Tasmania
and New Zealand. At first, the in
fiuences of the Mckinley act did great
deal 10 dampen the ardor of the citizens OF
the South Pacific countries, and great
deal of effort was necessary 10 overcome
this impression. Now, ii is generally real
lied that the Chicago exhibition will be
one of the greatest if not the greatest, ever
held in any country, and both IN govern
mental and mercantile circles, after much
comforting and consideration, ii has been
agreed that the greatest Of the British
possessions, outside of India, cannot afford
to slight the opportunity Of letting the
world know what they have been doing in
recent years.
Col. Campbell says Australia is making
remarkable progress. both in population
and in material wealth. There has been
marvellous development in agriculture,
| and in the expectation Of live stock and
wool. Great refrigerating ships, carrying
thousands of carcasSes OF mutton, now ply
between Australian ports and those OF
Great Britain, carrying meat perfectly
preserved through the great heat OF the
equatorial regions, and vast amounts OF
daily products are shipped in the same
manner. In fact, it cannot be many years
until this rapidly developing trade serious
| " hurts the kindred shipments from this
country. The country is prosperous
throughout, and is being rapidly developed.
