WASHINGTON, July IS. The navy de.
partment officials do not credit the
story that the United States stea1ne,
Mohican was fired upon and disabled
by a poaching steamer in Alaskan

strong reason for their incredulity is

NANAIMo, B. c., July IL.
Secretary of the Navy, Washington:
BY order of Commander Ludlow the
steamer Rush seized, on July 2, at Chrukat
island, American schooner St. Paul and
Alexander for violation of Section 1885, re-
vised statutes
1t may be noted that tine events men,
TONED in the above dispatch were Of
later date than that upon which the al
legged firing took place, but no mention
is made of it, although the order for
the seizure was given by Captain Lud-
low, and presumably his vessel, the No
h1ean, was in company with the Rusk.
Commodore Ramsay, acting secretary
OF the navy, believes that Captain Lud-
low would certainly not have failed to
mention so important an event as the
dlsablement of his ship, if it were true.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-From one of
the leading railroad men of the country
It has been learned that movement
was on foot to continue the worlds fair
during next summer.
While this matter has not as yet been
made public, it has been seriously con-
sidered by the leading capitalists who
have put their money into the worlds
fair bonds, and by the leading railroad
managers, whose companies have made
big Investments to meet rush of visi-
tors to the fair, which has not yet come.
The officers of the worlds fair and
many prominent exhibitors have been
canyassed regarding their views ON the
matter, and sentiment in favor of
continuing the fair is said to be mani
tested.
It is admitted among all careful and
calculating observers Of the fair busi-
ness which has been done thus far that,
in point of attendance, the exposition is
failure. The continuous, almost daily
rains during the spring, and during the
first month after the gates were opened,
delayed the completion of the buildings
and the unpacking of exhibits, and
made the May attendance and receipts
ext1Snely small. The June returns
were alsa disappointing. While the av-
erage daily attendance promises, even
at the present showing, far to exceed
the average at Philadelphia in 1876,
which was only $4,000, it does not
promise to approach that of Paris in
1889, which was 900, one days at
tendance being 400, 900.
i The Philadelphia exposition which
covered only go acres was small affair
compared with the Chicago enterprise,
while the French figures Of attendance
although the Paris exhibits covered but
70 acres, and the French people was but
half as numerous as our population, do
not seem likely to be reached even in
the food-tide expected in latter August
and early September.
In word. the werld's fair is disan-
poInTment and failure, so far as pub
lie patronage is concerned, although its
666 acres are replete with most valu-
able, diversified and interesting exhib-
its, and although the fair Enclosure rep
resents an investment of nearly $685.
