Losses Indiana i Kentucky i South Carolina i Virginia i. According to this table the gains and losses Are distributed As follows the classification being based on those in Vogue before the late elections. The republicans would gain 15, the democrats 5. The democrats would lose 4. This would be a net gain to the Reid liens of 14 counting the states As before. Pattie in an Englewood botel. The Timmerman opera House in Englewood a suburb of Chicago was destroyed by fire. Fortunately no performance was Given that night but As it was there were Many narrow escapes from death in the building occupying the second and third floors is a Large and fashionable hotel that was filled with guests. When the flames burst out in the theater a panic ensued in the botel and As Many of the guests had retired for the night they came tumbling Down the stairs in a wild scramble to reach the Street. Some were overcome by the dense Clouds of smoke that rolled in volumes through the hallways but fortunately All were rescued and borne to the open air by the firemen. A rough estimate of the loss places it at Between $75,000 and $100,000. It is supposed the fire was caused by the Furnace. A murderer shot to death. A Williamstown ky., dispatch says that Geo. Burgess a Saloon keeper shot and fatally wounded miss Alice Mckinley at her Home and then barricaded himself in his Saloon threatening to kill any one who should try to arrest him. Sheriff Webber and Deputy marshal Cates went to the Saloon and broke Down the door. Burgess opened fire and a fusillade followed ending with the death of Burgess. The officers escaped injury. Miss Mckinley is reported dying. Salaries must come Down. The Rumor that thereas to be a wholesale butchery of salaries next year among the base Ball players is substantially Well founded. The action of players in withdrawing from the National league and american association ranks and forming a players league with an entire set of new backers resulted in Over half a million dollars being actually squandered during the past season. This loss has got to be made up in some Way and it comes from Good authority that rank of the nations. Records made at the previous worlds fairs. Roasted to death.

There were about forty occupants in the building at the time two of whom Mcirwin the janitor and his wife were burned to meath.

Chicago dispatch great Britain seems to be the quickest nation to take advantage of the chances offered by a worlds fair. A study of such worlds fair records As Are available shows that she has been near the top of the list in the number and character of her exhibits. Leaving out of course the countries in which the fairs were held great Britain headed the list at Paris in 1855, was second at Philadelphia in 1876, second at Paris in 1878, and first at Paris in 1889. No other nation can show As Good a record so England must be considered at the head of exhibiting nations France easily leading All others in the line of giving exhibitions. The United states Only recently awoke to their value. Its exhibits have not been numerous although the prizes it has captured show that what it did exhibit was the Best. It has captured More prizes in proportion to the number of its exhibits than any other country. In going Over the records one is rather surprised to find that the smallest nations have frequently made some of the largest and Best exhibits. They Are interesting also As indicating where some of the Best exhibits for the worlds columbian exposition Are coming Fram. At London in 1851 More than half of the exhibitors were from great Britain and colonies but it is impossible to discover what foreign nation led. It was clearly not the United states As it supplied Only 499 out of a total of 6.446 foreign exhibitors. It is probable that France headed the list. At Paris in 1855 England was clearly a Leader making a better exhibit than she did at her own fair in 1851. The United states was somewhere near the Bottom on the list not even making As Good a record As it did at London. Its exhibitors numbered Only 144 out of 11,968 from foreign countries. There Are More Complete records of the fair at London in 1862, and the records show that France returned England a visit. In space occupied and number of exhibitors she led All other countries Germany coming next. The United states was near the Tail of the list again but the United states was in trouble again at that time so it can hardly be blamed for allowing Austria. Belgium Italy Russia. Sweden Norway Switzerland Turkey Egypt and Denmark to Lead it in the number of exhibits and the space occupied. Even Holland and Portugal gave it a Tough rub and in some ways beat it. China and Japan began to take an interest in exhibitions and were Well represented. As exhibiting nations they have been coming Forward Ever since and May be looked for to make an excellent display in 1893. At Paris in 1867 England again called on France and took one ninth of the entire space allotted to exhibitors thus holding her position As the greatest exhibiting nation. The other eight ninth were divided Between some thirty nations. The United states got its display in about one fourth the space that great Britain needed. At Vienna in 1873 Germany led both in the number of exhibitors and the space occupied doing better than Austria itself. France and England both furnished More exhibitors than the United states and Italy nearly As Many. In amount of space occupied Germany. England France Russia. Italy. Belgium Turkey and Switzerland All led the United states. At nearly All these fairs the United states exhibits were due to individual Enterprise rather than to any interest on the part of the government and that May account in a measure for the country with All its resources figuring so far Down the list. At Philadelphia in 1876, great Britain received a Shock. Spain took a notion that it had some things Worth showing and when noses were counted it was found that it had furnished More exhibitors than any other foreign nation. England was a Good second and Portugal third. It was a Surprise to All other nations. At Paris in 1878, great Britain took twice As much space in the main building As any other nation but did not Lead in the number of exhibitors. Italy Austria Hungary Russia and Belgium occupied More space than the United states and Switzerland was pretty close to it. Austria Hungary supplied the most exhibitors outside of France with Spain second and great Britain third. Algeria Belgium Italy Portugal and Switzerland were All ahead of the United states in this respect. At Melbourne in 1880 England again led without counting her provinces and Austria France Germany Italy British India and a number of minor states did better than the United states. At Paris in 1889 great Britain led with Belgium second and the United states third but the United states did not make the Best use of its space and did not present As attractive a display a Many other nations with less space. Mexico with about one fourth the space appropriated nearly five times As much Money and a number of other governments spent More Money than the United states on much less space. From the record it would look As though great Britain would make the greatest exhibit at Chicago although Spain May duplicate her record at Philadelphia and some of the smaller nations May come up with a Rush. They have been taking a great Deal of interest in such exhibitions recently and Are Apt to be More lavish in proportion to their Means. Another interesting matter in this connection is the record of the assistance Given exhibitors at Philadelphia and Paris by the various governments. Some governments gave great assistance and some none outside of the expenses of the commission and of making the government exhibit # at Philadelphia the Argentine Republic appropriated $120,000, and went so far As to employ agents to interest its citizens and gather together exhibits. It also advanced Money to exhibitors to enable them to make the Best possible showing. Austria and Belgium appropriated $75,000 and $50,000 respectively for the use of their commission and to pay for the government exhibits. Private exhibitors had to look after themselves. Brazil however assumed the entire expenses for the transportation and care of exhibits from that country. So also did Egypt Venezuela Orange free state Peru and Portugal. These countries even went so far As to pay the living expenses of exhibitors in Many instances. Denmark appropriated about $12,000, and Germany paid the expenses of its Eom Misson Only leaving its exhibitors to paddle their own canoes. The record at Philadelphia would seem to indicate that great Britain a Success As an exhibitor Lay largely with its colonies. The Home government appropriated $25,000 for the Pum oses of the Art exhibit and gave some help to exhibitors but it was far behind some of its colonial governments. The Dominion of Canada appropriated $100,000, and its provinces $33,000 More. Cape Good Hope defrayed the entire expense of exhibitors. As did also new South Wales. The latter appropriated $40,000 for that purpose. South Australia appropriated $17,500 and Tasmania assumed the entire Cost of exhibiting. Victoria spent $15,000 purchasing exhibits appropriated $44,000 for expenses and assumed the Cost of exhibiting. Apparently the colonial governments spent Over ten times As much As the Home government. Japan appropriated $300,000 and paid All the expenses of its exhibitors. The Netherlands also looked after its exhibitors As did also Switzerland. Sweden and Norway appropriated $110,000 and Tunis $50,000. At Paris in 1889, Mexico led in the size of its appropriation devoting $1,200,000 to its exhibits and the Argentine Republic was second with $1,000, 000. Both countries erected special buildings. Austro Hangary gave $35,000, but not out of the government Treasury. It was raised by private subscription. Belgium put up $120,000�?a Good increase Over what it gave for the Centennial and Bolivia put $60,000 into a special building. Brazil used $200,000 pm its exhibit and Denmark More than doubled its Centennial appropriation putting its figures at $28,000. Ecuador used $30,-000, raised by private subscription and put up a special building. Egypt thought it was Worth $24,000 and gave that Mach. Great Britain a reputation was largely upheld by her colonies As before. The is 35,0c0 she gave was raised by subscription and it was left to colonial governments to make appropriations which Many of them did. The figures however Are not known. Greece gave $60,000 out of the Treasury and Finland $26,000 in private Money. Guatemala gave $50,000, Italy 870, xxx and Japan $130,000 less than half of what she used for the Centennial. Nicaragua and Portugal gave $100,000 each and erected special buildings. Roumania also touched the $100,-000 Mark and Spain put $145,000 into a special building. San Domingo gave $10,000, Servia $44,000, and Sweden and Norway $25,000, something of a drop from the Centennial appropriation. Switzerland however improved on its former appropriation giving $91,000 in addition to various sums voted by cantons. The week has been devoted largely to speculations As to the personnel of the Board of reference and control and of the bureaus. Several slates have been made up and smashed again. For the Board of reference and control the following have been suggested president Palmer vice chairman Mckenzie and commissioners Waller Mussey Lindsay St. Clair Martindale and Sewell president Gage vice president Bryan and directors Jeffery Walker Peck Palmer Strong Winston Waller and Kerfoot most of these men will probably be found among the sixteen when the appointments Are finally made. For the head of the Bureau of publicity and promotion col Cockerell m. E. Stone j. S. Clarkson Stanley Waterloo and r. J. Murphy were mentioned but director general Davis put a Stop to speculation by announcing that he had not yet decided in his own mind whom he would appoint. Gov. Fifer officially announced the result of the vote on the constitutional amendment and it was left for the Council to act on the $5,000,000 Bond Issue. Gen. A. Goshorn and Thomas Donaldson both of whom were connected with the Centennial arrived in Chicago and in interviews with director general Davis gave him some valuable pointers on organization. Both thought that the work Here had been carried on As rapidly As was to be expected and that the system of organization As finally settled on was a Good one. Robin a. Keyes resigned from the press and printing committee and Gen. W. E. Strong was appointed in his place. Or. Keyes gave As the reason for his action press of private business. An interview with congressman Flower published recently criticising salaries of officers of the commission created something of a scare but it was the general opinion that As they had passed the ordeal of examination by the commission Aud the Secretary of the Treasury they would stand. A scare was also occasioned by the information that there was a Rumor in England to the effect that the fair had been abandoned. It was promptly denied by Cable. Thursday word was received that it was rumoured in Russia that the fair had been transferred from Chicago to new York.

The credentials of senators elect Carey and Warren of Wyoming were presented and they took the oath. Senator Carey a Bald head was known to every one in the Senate. Of senator Warren it was remarked that he added another to the Long list of youngest looking senators who Wear glasses. The customary Resolution that the draw lots to determine their length of service came from senator Hoar who is chairman of the committee on elections. Secretary Anson Mccook brought out the queer looking Box with its handle like a co in Popper from which the slips were to be taken and in less than a minute after the adoption of the Resolution it was known that senator Warrens term will expire March 4. 193, while senator Carey will serve until 1895. Members of the House of representatives were in no hurry to resume their places before noon so that in the crowd of people on the floor before la of clock not a dozen were congressmen. Pages and doorkeeper kept running in and out bearing Flowers in Bunches and tied with ribbons baskets gotten up by skilled hands and elaborate Floral pieces donated by enthusiastic friends. The democrats were specially favored with mementos though the desks of about Twenty republicans were also tastefully decorated. Some 200 members were present when the chaplain invoked the divine Blessing and during the tedious Roll Call enough More came in to swell the number to 227. The galleries were jammed except those reserved for the presidents family and the diplomats where a few persons lonely looking were seated. The speaker had much difficulty in moderating the noisy convention of members so that the clerk might hear the responses to the Roll Call. At the expiration of the hour devoted to the Calendar in the Senate on the 2d, or. Hoar moved to proceed to the consideration of the House Bill a to Amend and supplement the election Laws of the United states and to provide for the More efficient enforcement of such or. Gorman demanded the yeas and nays on that motion. The yeas and nays were taken and the tote a strictly party one resulted yeas 41 nays 30.

Rne a or native vote was Given by 105 republicans and 34 democrats and the negative by 69 democrats and 26 republicans. A Large proportion of its support came from the Eastern and Middle states while the bulk of the opposition was from the West and South.

Pugh spoke in opposition to it. He said the country could not fail to understand the True character and nature of the proposed legislation. It was never intended to be put in operation in Republican districts. Under its operation there would not be a single District in the i United states from which democrats were elected to Congress that would not be subject to supervision by partisan republicans.

He believed there would be no deficiency next year that there would prove to be a slight excess of appropriation. J the election Bill was taken up in the Senate on the 5th. And or. Gray spoke against it. The Bill he said was menacing to the peace happiness and Freedom of the several states. Notwithstanding the sneer uttered by the president of the United states As to the objections of those who opposed the Bill there were Many who believed the measure one that threatened the integrity of american institutions state and National. Senator Stanford introduced a Hill to provide the government with Means sufficient to Supply the National want of a sound circulating medium and asked that it lie on the table stating that he would hereafter submit some remarks on it. The Bill is the same As that introduced by him last May. It authorizes the Issue of �100,000,000 in Treasury notes to be loaned at 2 per cent. Upon application by citizens owning unencumbered agricultural lands the Loans not to exceed one half the assessed value of Tho land nor to extend for More than Twenty years.
