Francisco and against New Orleans, as
the city in which an exposition to cele-
brate the opening of the Panama canal in

determine whether the San Francisco res
olution or the New Orleans bill should
have consideration in the house. On
final vote the San Francisco resolution
was passed by y vote of 2o9 to 4S

claiming that their fight is won, and that
the senate will ratify the action of the
house.

publican vote in the house. New Or
leans support came from the Democrats.
Only thirty Republicans voted for New
Orleans. Thirty-six Democrats voted for
San Francisco. The San Francisco res
