northern circuit of Illinois. The Pres
dent made this nomination yesterday aft
ernoon. II leaves vacancy on the dis
trict bench. There are numerous candi-
dates for the vacant judgeship but just
who will receive the appointment is as
yet an enigma, although the chances seem
to be in favor of Ephraim Banning. a
member of the Chicago bar, who is strong
ly endorsed by majority OF the members
of the Illinois Congressional delegation.
Some of the other candidates are highly
endorsed by the Judiciary of the State,
the newspapers, and prominent COM
mercial men and politicians.
Several public men called upon the
President to urge the claims of their
friends for appointment as commissioners
to the Paris Exposition. Mr.. Mckinley
| informed each of these that the appoint
ments would probably not he made until

FOR A TOLEDO CENTENNIAL.
OhionnS to Irge Congress to Appro-
nrinic IIaII n Million

a party of $50 prominent Ohioans met
the Ohio Congressional delegation last
night at the Hotel Hamilton and dis
cussed and adopted plans for the promo
tion of bill to be introduced in Con-
gress providing for an appropriation of
100000 for the centennial celebration
proposed 10 be held in Toledo from May
/ to November /, in either 1902 or 1899,
the year to be determined later
Senator Foraker presided at the meet
ing. Representative Norton was elected
secretary Mayor Samuel Jones of Toledo.
together with the entire common council
of that city, was present. and explained
TO the delegation the object OF the cele-
bration and the plans and arrangements
which have been made. The centennial
committee was also present and several
members addressed the meeting Among
those who spoke were Thomas Tracy and
John Kuler of Toledo Mayor Jones. of
Toledo. and J. NJ Donnahue of Tiffany.
The members of the Congressional dele
CATION were called upon for their views.
All made brief addresses in which they
expressed their approval of the proposed
exposition and pledged themselves TO do
all in their power TO further the bill in
Congress.
Senator Foraker expressed his approval
of the project and promised to use his
best efforts TO aid it. He suggested that
n committee of Ohio Representatives he
appointed 10 look after the bill. Represen-
tative Norton made motion that the
chair be empowered TO appoint com
mittee of three. which was carried. ana
Senator Foraker named Representative J.
II. Southard. w. b. Shattuc. and John \.
Mcdowell, after which the meeting ad
journed.
The proposed exposition is intended to
celebrate the one hundredth anniversary OF
the admission TO the Union of Ohio as
State The bill providing for the exposi-
tion was passed at the last session of the
Legislature. An effort is being made to
secure the cooperation OF all the States
which were formerly a part of the North
west Territory, thus making the celebra-
tion of more than State Importance. Two
hundred and twenty acres of land has been
secured near Toledo for the proposed CEN
tennial and $50 600 has already been voted
by the city of Toledo to detray the eX-
penses and more has been promised. \
company for taking charge of the prepara-
tions of the ground and exhibits has been
formed. AS there is to be a large eXhi-
biton of a similar nature at st. Louis in
1903 it has not been decided whether the
anniversary celebration to be held at Tole-
do will take place in that year or the pre-
viOus one.
