ANOTHER WORLDS FAIR ROW.
An Effort to Prevent Secretary Of War Elkins
from Securing q Military Camping-Ground.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1&.-Another row is on in
the worlds fair. This time it is between
the government board of control at Wash
Ington. or. more properly. Secretary Of War
Elkins, and the South Park commissioners.
The trouble grows out of the attempt to
use the meadow in Washington Park as the
camping-ground for q model military camp
during the worlds fair. A long while ago.
before the site of tie worlds fair was
finally settled. the South Park board
offered Washington Park as q part of the
site and the national commission accepted
it, This action tands yet. In consid-
tring plans for an exhibit from the
War Department Secretary Elkins con-
ceived the idea of establishing q mode
military camp somewhere near the exp posi-
ton grounds as q part OF the governments
show. Prices were too high for him to
lease ground near Washington Park. so il
was decided to turn over the meadow. d.
rector-general Davis had it surveyed and
yesterday be made the assignment of space
to Secretary of War Elkins and forwarded
the Dapers TO Washington. The South
Park commissioners refuse to allow the
meadow in Washington Park to be used
for that purpose and arc trying to defeat
Secretary ElkiHs's plan.

called to the revolutiOnIsts asking that the

WAR VESSELS ON THE LAKES.
Three British Revenue Cutters" that Could
Play Havoc with Uncle Sam.

TOLEDO, O., Dec. 1S-The Blade pub
fishes a long article descriptive of the three
alleged revenue cutters. now lying in
Owens sound, on the South shore of Georg-
ian bay. These vessels, which are named
the Petrol, the Constance and the Curlew,
are, according to the Blades representa-
tive, who visited the place, men:of- war
any one of which is capable of knocking
into splinters all the floating armament
which the United States now has on the
great lakes. The vessels are said to be
each $50 feet long and twenty-five feet
beam, with o draft Of less than ten feet.
They are capable of running through the
smallest canal in the lake system, and their
armament Is the most complete OF Its kind
known TO modern naval warfare. Each
vessel has three MaXim-N orcenfeldt four
teen-pound rifles. capable OF doing execu-
ton at six thousand yards. and of piercing
four inches of solid steel
In addition, each vessel has four rapid
firing Hotehkiss guns. The fleet, which, Is
under the command of Lie~utenant-com-
mander McGregor, is manned by British
sailors, and orders are received direct from
the British Admiralty office In London,
and the Canadian officers have nothing
whatever to do with them. The old man.

Another interesting point disclosed is the
fact that the Navy Department some time
