Yes, it was awfully wrong, OF
course, but knew that y on were COM

and did so want to come; so, as papa
was going somewhere else first, we

WASHINGTON. April at is stated
with positiveness that President Clevc-
land has finally decided to accept tho
invitation rs open the Worlds Fair

ally push the button that is to start
the machinery of the great Exposition.
While this decision to go to Chicago
has been made, the details of the
Presidents trip are AS vet not fully

the naval review, returning to Wash
ington for a few days and then pro-
ceeding to Chicago, II is probable
that Secretaries Gresham, Herbert.
Morton and one or two others will
accompany the President to Chicago.
Mrs. CleN Gland is not likely to accom-
pany the party. She had been very
anxious TO make the western trip. but
has been unable to arrange her affairs
so as to be in Chicago
Gen. Schoticld has about abandoned
the project of an encampment ut Chi
cago during the Worlds Fair, in which
United States troops and West Point
cadets should participate. The GEN
erel stated that the opposition
of the Park Commissioners of Chicago
10 the use of Washington Park APP
peared to put an end to all chance of
the encampment The Park Commits
sionerS had stated that Washington
Park could not be occupied by the mil
itary, as it was needed by the general
public and by the many tourists who
would be in Chicago during the Worlds
Fair. They had insisted that there
We're other places equally as good
which the soldiers could occupy. The
War Department has shown no dispo-
sition, however. to look beyond Wash
ington Park, and as the park cannot
be secured, Gen. Schofied abandons
the cncampment
Washington's effort to have "a special
day set aside for its gloritication dur
ing the Worlds Fair crystallized YES
tcrday in the following telegram from
the District Commissioners to Director
General Davis:
THE Commissioners of the District
of Columbia would be pleased to know
whether day can be set apart for the
District of Columbia, and If so what
dates are open from which Il selection
can be made and whether the munich
pal authorities of the District of Co

such selection"
