many doubts arose. Oneof the results of the
discussion is that to keep brewery supplied
with force of water sufficient for all the
requirements of such an establishment would
monopolize one sixth the amount of water
that could be raised by the proposed pumping
station per day.
One Councilman facetiously remarked that
perhaps it would be better to have the new
water works completed and then let the
brewery projectors buy the old water works.

49, - ~ nad Deen Speculallng
upon the probable winners of the Worlds
Fair trips offered in this contest. This
question cannot be answered very accurately
because there are other sources of revenue
which depend somewhat upon the attendance
but which cannot as yet be only estimated
Still, this inquiry about the financial success
of the enterprise is an interesting one, and
speculation upon it is a convenient means of
reaching better appreciation of the magni.
tude Of the operation.
In round figures which are within a hun.
dred thousand dollars of the actual sum, the
cost of the fair to the opening day was twenty
millions of dollars. This enormous sum is
more than twice as much as was spent for the
last Paris exposition, and there the govern
ment of France was behind the enterprise.
Twenty millions probably reaches the high
water mark in the outlay for international
expositions. 1t may be doubtful if the
coming century will see a parallel to this
affair in magnitude or costliness. This fair is
not too big but it is big enough. Future
fair-builders will probably devote their
energies to making more perfect but not
more vast. How was all this enormous sum
raised? Principally by the citizens of
Chicago. In the first place, they subscribed
nearly six millions of dollars of stock in the
exposition company, and have paid over in
cash thereon S5,751,173 Then the city of
Chicago as municipal corporation issued
bonds and devoted the proceeds. to the pur.
chase of $5,OOO,OOO of stock.
At first it was thought this would be
enough, or nearly enough, to build the fair
But it proved to be only half enough. The
exposition issued five millions of its own
bonds and sold them at par. This gave a
total of sixteen millions. Congress voted five
millions of souvenir half dollars in aid of
the fair, and then took away half million
dollars worth of them on quibble. Out of
the remaining two millions of dollars worth
the management realized, by virtue of
premiums, very nearly $2,5OO,OOO. Thus the
total receipts were brought up to nearly
eighteen and half millions. Interest and
miscellaneous receipts swelled to the grand
total of $l9OOO,OOO
Looked at as vast financial operation this
Ialr is almost as fascinating as from any other
point of view, twenty millions to open the
gates, three millions more will be needed to
pay expenses till the end of the six months,
therefore S23,0Oo,O0O is TO be approximately
the total cost of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. Is there any chance that this
enormous sum of money can be earned by
the gates and the concessions2 At the close
of the fair it is estimated the salvage from
the buildings and grounds will net a million
dollars. Still twenty-five millions to raise

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The senate
committee on territories held meeting
today devoted to making preliminary
arrangements tor the consideration of
the territorial admission bills. Sub
committees for the investigation of the
various questions involved in connec-
ton with the several bills were ap-
pointed as follows:
Utah-Faulkner. of West Virginia
Bate, of Tennessee; Platt, of Connecti-
cut. Arizona-Hill, of New York; Call,
of Florida; Davis. of Minnesota. New
Mexico Blackburn. of Kentucky; White
of California; Shoupe. of Idaho.
Oklahoma-Bate, Hill and Hans
brough, of North Dakota.
There was some discussion concern
ing the policy OF admission but it was
of an extremely general character and
none but a very indefinite opinion
could be formed from what was said.
There was nothing, powever, said to in
dictate very determined fight on any
of the bills.
A sub committee consisting of White,
Faulkner and Carey, was appointed to
consider the various bills before the
committee relating to Yellowstone
Park. The committee will not meet
again until after the holidays.

States over $50, 900, 900. Over 5000, ,OOO, 900
are invested and 250,0OO operatives are
employed in the manufacture Of woolens
and this industry is offered up as q
sacrifice on the altar of tariff reform.
Attention is directed to the effect of
placing iron ore on the free list. The
result of this will be loss of over half
a million in revenue and will admit to
competition with American ores, foreign
ores which will be produced at from
one-fourth to one-tenth the cost of pro-
ducing American ores. Significance Is
attached to the fact that while hoop
and band iron and steel bear 80 per
cent duty, iron or steel ties for baling
cotton are on the free list.
The common schedules show the same
Inconsistency and lack Of knowledge on
the part of the trainers OF the bill that
have marked the preparation of other

bituminous coal is considered an amaz-
ing proposition, for this coal has little

The flames held two hundred miners in

by attempting to light a torch while

two gallant fellows made an attempt te

The smoke. however, WAS pouring ou
