By special order , today was sot apart by the homo for the opening of the debate on the report of tbo commltteo on the worlds fair The usual preliminary routlno business was trans acted with a show of impatience , The conlerenco report ou the senate bill to increnso the pension of helpless sol diers was adopted Mr McMillan of Tennessee raised the point of order that the fnir bills Involved ap propriations and should bo cousidored in committee of the wltolcv Mr Chandler of Mnssachusetts explained how the time was to bo divided ono hour to himself as chairman and one hour to each of the four contcuding cities , 'loinorrow the opponents of any bill were to- have ono hour and the remainder of the dav was to be divldod between repre sentatives of the four clticr ' 1 ho speaker , referring to Mr Mc Millan's point , thought the special order had the effect to render unnecessary any mo tion to go into commlttoo of the whole , nnd when Mr McMillan took a contrary vlow ho had read n decision made in the Forty-ninth congress embodying nis opinion Mr Mills of 1'oxas domandol hnlf of the tlmo in behalf of the opponents of the bill The matter of recognitions wns one for the presidio ? olHcor The speaker thought the ( iebnto should bo arranged so as to give the fullest information to the house on the point It desired to oxplnlu , Mr Chandler then took the floor una opened tha debate Ho suid the connnittno had two bills ono ndaptod to New York , Chicago nnd St Louis , and the other to Washington . Mr Chandler took up the first bill uud explained the sections briefly but succinctly Ho said that the government was to tend its aid to the people to dig nify and gtvo a national recognition to the great national event Tha only ap propriation asked for under this bill wns n small ono to defray the expenses of the gov ernment bill and the display of works of art Mr Chandler continued his explana tion of the bill , saying that it bound the gov- ernmoiit in no way to financial obligation Thcro was no proposition , direct or indi rect In the bill to secure a dollar from the government for any purpose not clearly stated Hy the oxpeience of the past the benellts of tbo exposition to the pcopla in an educational way could not bo questioned , 'lha government should do its part The co mm it too asked for $1SOOUOO for the government to lake cn.ro of Its own The government could not do less to sustain its dignity turning to the second ( Washington ) bill , Mr Chandler said that it difforcd from the others In that the fair here would depend not upon the popular fair subscription , but upon funds raited by tbo district govern ment upou the 11 per cout limit Tbo pro ceeds from tickets sold were to go , not to the stockholders , but to meet the bonds issued It was supposed that tha chairman of the special eommitteo was the only member not committed Ho believed that in every phase of thu subject , whether as a recogni tion of of.tho services of tha great discov erer or from any other phase , it Boomed proper that at the close of the 400 years elapsing since the discovery of this great continent wo should call the attention c-t the world to our condition An Invitntion 'by the government of the pcoplo of J.he world to visit us and study our resources - sources would sur'elv bo beneficial In con clusion ho hoped that this congress would bo trud * to the ! > Jhlstory of the coun try and Bet an example of patriotism and cnterprisos 'or the congresses of 100 years to contemplate and follow Mr Floworof Now V ° rk followed in be half of Now York * Ho believed the selection or Now York meant tbo'gruatcsf possible success of tbo undertaking New York would assume tbo financial responsibility nnd make the fair a bucccss A situ was ready for use , contain ing 309 acres No other city had mot this question ota site and solved It New-York is the halfway station between the greater Dart of this country and the world The American manufacturer and agriculturist would have greater incentives to ex hibit his ware * and products in Ne\v York city than in any other place bv reason of the fact that ho would bavo there a larger local assamblago to bo in structed and benotlted bnd by reason of the further fact that his goods would be thrown Into comparison with the wares and pro ducts of the greatest commercial exchange • of tha continent Therefore with a guar anty on the part of Now York for the pecuniary success of the tair , with its dense population , its many points of inter est , ample accommodations for visitors and the beautiful site in tbo hands of the com mittee , Now York was better prepared than any other city Hoaskod if the house wus prepared to vote from the treasury $5,000,000 or 110.000,000 for locating the fair at Chicago , St Louis , or Washington when It oould locate It in Now York without anv appropriation except for the government exhibits ! In conclusion Mr Flower announced tbat ha bud Just received - ceived a telegram to the effect that Governor Hill bad signed the fnir bill Mr Flower was followed by Mr , Moore of Now Hampshire and Mossors Covert , Cumtiiings , Traoy aud Quinn , all of Now York , iu favor of tha selection of New York as the site Mr.Uittthonnpaued the debate for Chicago , Blr Hittsald Chicago surpassed any other place in facltltles for travel und the ability to care for people Her hotels were on an enormous scale and had never been overtaxed The cltv was acccsslblo to the mining re gions of Pennsylvania und the great agricul tural belts of tbo west Commerce was car ried on hero on tno grandest scale by laud and by water Chicago's tonnage was second end in alzo among Amcricancitlus Tbo site at Chicago wns rciuly , therland was level and no preparation was required It would leave a great empty space in the treasury after New York bad blasted away enough rocks to afford a site Placed in the interior , the fair would be visited by many more peopio than It placed at tlda water The people of Chicago cage were enthusiastic , they wore not bickering among tboinselves What pro portion of the attendants at the tair would bo composed of foreign visitors ? Perhaps 50,000 nt the most Ho expected that 50.000- ' 000 Americans would attend the fair Would it be proper to require 7,000,000 people to travel to the extreme edgo'ot tbe country , as they would linvato do it the fair was held in Now York ) In conclusion , bo said tbo fair at Chicago would enlist the enthusiastio ef forts of ult tno peopio and be a mamorabla and magnificent success Mr Adams of lllnols said the people of Chicago tbo trorkiuenien , husinossmonand capitalists lUagreed in asking congress to nllow the great colouration , of ltJOU to ba held In their city They worn prepared to meet tha responsibilities , fho world knew tbat they have the habit of succeeding sin what they undertake Chiuago bid many advantages as to location for the exhibition Ho believed Chicago could guarantee tbo Ununctal sue * cess of the undertaking They had raised $5,000,000 by voluntary ubaoription An other gunran too was that the subscription fund , while it came malalv Irom Chicago , eauio also , from tuc outside , . Nearly every state In the Union wus represented They proposed to raise $3,000,000 more by the issue of hoods In the innunor provided in the bill If it was necessary for the state to act iu order to secure a state exhibit , und especially an agricultural exhibit which would bo worthy.otthu statu aud worthy of the city in which the celebration la bold , such action would forthcoming . Chicago would bo at no expense.to secure an ample and convenient site Mr , McCroulry of Konluclty earnestly argued in favor of Chicago , saving tbroo of tha groatsst national celebratious ever hold in this couatry bad boon held In the east aud it was now the west's turn He urged that tha fair should not bu held onthe rim of tbe cobntry , but id tbo interior Mr , Cutcboon of Micbigau * spoke warmly iu favor of Chicago , which , be said , was tbo most marvellous city tbe world had ever looked ui > oiu Mr Taylor of Illinois said there was a great country Ip.tua west uf which , tbo pee pie of Now York know llttlo , anil ho desired to hold the fair in the west to educate the peopio of the east Ho concluded by telling of the wealth or the country surrounding Chicngo nnd the pntronave which coald bfi expected to bo bestowed upon a fair hold there Mr Perkins of Kansas said Chicago was the proper place for tbo fair If ibU was to bo n European fair lot us go to Lon don [ Applnuso } . If It was to bo for the benefit of the patriotic citlrona of this country It Bhould go to the great interior city , representative of the great Industries of the country , Mr Lawlor of Illinois said ho hold n peti tion signed by thousands of workmen of the union , except New York , asking that the exposition bo located in Chicago Ho de tailed her advantages Mr Chapman of Michigan followed In a glowing tribute to Chicago , the present me tropolis of the west nnd the future metropo lis of the whole country Mr Frank of Missouri opened the battle for St Louis The site for the fair , ho said , was to bo chosen upon sound reasons Chicago cage vied with New York in political nnl- mu , supplemented bv sordid , mercenary aims St Louis offered advantages of location nnd was acccssiblo to the greatest number of citizens of the United States nnd the southern republics St Louis hospitality was known the world over Her climate wns excellent She would bid the world welcome to a nursery of vlrtuo not a morass of vice Mr Niodrlnghnus of Missouri extolled the tnlents of the business men ot St Louis The peopio of St Louis know ; how la hold a fair ami mnko It n success Mr Stone of Missouri enlarged upon the ml vantages of the geographical position of St Louis , on tbo mineral wealth of tno sur rounding country , the cereal products nnd the great internal commerce Mr Hreckenrldgo of Arkansas followed In the ( • amo line Mr Dockeroy of Missouri spoke iu com plimentary terms of the other competing cities , but dismissed Now York and Chicago on account of location nnd Washington for flnnnclal reasons Mr Cnruth of Kentucky closed for St Louis Mr MeComas of Marylnnd was for an exposition - position wherever it was to bo hold , but It was historically fitting that the exposition should bo hold hero In Washington , in tha district bearing the name of the discoverer of the continent He appealed to tbo friends of Chicago , Now York und St Louis to como together in pcaco here on national ground Messrs Leo of Virginia , Coleman ot Louisiana , Compton and Stockbridgo of Maryland also spoke in favor of Washing ton , and then the house adlournod until to morrow The proposed night session was abandoned Senate Washington , Fob 20.
