of the Four Rivals *
A WARM DEBATE IN THE SENATE
The Hauntlcr * Murder Stir * Up Con
siderable Sectional IlltloriieHS
Senator Chandler * Krnolutlon
l'lnnlly Aitoptcil
House ,
WA5nisoTox , Peb 20. 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

abandoned
Senate
Washington , Fob 20. In the senate to
day the resolution , heretofore offered by Mr
Chandler calling on the attorney general for
Information regarding the assassination of
Deputy Marshall Saunders at Qulncy , Fin ,
wns taken up and Mr Pasco resumed his remarKs -
marKs ir > regard to it Ite sonc to the clerks
desk nnd had read various documents , news
paper articles nnd proceedings ot public
meetings denunciatory of the conduct and
character of the United States court and Its
ottlccrs in the northern district of
Florida These representations ho said ,
might tend to throw some light on
the causes lealirig up to the sad affair
nt Qulncy In conclusion Mr.Pasco offered
an amundmont directing the attorney gen
eral to Inform thascnata whether any efforts
had been made by tbo department of Justine
to correct the action of the ofllcors of the
court which resulted in partisan Junes
made up mainly from one political party ;
also directing the attorney general to inform
tbo senate whether he bad any Information
ol an oQlclal letter by Marshal Mizol direct
ing ; the names of true and tried republi
cans for Jurors , etc
Mr Hawley said tbe remarks ot the sen
ator from Florida and the amendment
seemed a prematura apology for the murder
It was evident tbo amondmentLtvas intended
to mitlgato the Judgment of tbo public minden
on a crime which even a democratic paper
in Florida stigmatized as brutal , infamous
nnu cowardly The senator ( Pasco ) . has
represented Saunders asnot , having NDoen
always a good , icon , , and a fair inference
from his remarks would bo that there would
not have bean much objection to Saunders
havlne been killed If iitoould have eon
done In a less objectionable way Ha wished
the senator (1'usto ( ) to understand distinctly
that his speech was regarded by tbo repub
lican senators as an attempt to make a sort
of a left banded upology for the murder and
to evade investigation
Mr Pasco said bo made no excuse for any
body and had expressly declined to discuss
tbo question
Mr Call condemned the killing of Saund
ers , but declared there were fewer murders
in Florida in the last ton years than there
were in Connecticut or New Hampshire or
even In the national capital Ho alluded to
outrages committed Dy federal officers In
Florida and declared It was such acts wbich
had led desperate , misguided mon to resort
to lawless acts to protect themselves Ho
declared tbo senator from Now Hampshire
( Chandler ) was responsible for murders In
Florida , and the destruction of the happi
ness of households there by emissaries of
his
his.Mr.
Mr Chandler said many indictments had
been found in Florida for election frauds
and attempts had been made to arrest and
try tbo offenders The democrats of Florida
as a body in the section of the state where
these election frauds were committed • were
engaged in the defense ol tbo criminals by
tbe killing of witnesses and deputy mar
shals , and there was In that section ot tbo
state an absolute rebellion against the laws
of the United States Mr Chandler said it
was tbe duty of the governor of Florida and
of the senators from Florida to take suffi
cient interest in tbo assassination of deputy
United States marshals and witnesses before -
fore the United States court , to secure if
pessiblo tbe arrest and puntshmont of tbo
criminals , but , ba said , tbo governor
of Florida and thOt senators from
Florida are engaged In a very different
business What arc they doing ! Tboy are
hero trying to prevent the confirmation of
the Judge , attorney and marshal whoso busi
ness it is to punish election frauds in the
state of Florida If they can do so by lawful
means
Mr Call moved to rotor the resolution to
the Judiciary commltteo Rejected
Oo motion of Mr Chandler Mr Pasco's '
amendment was laid oa tbo table and the
resolution calling on the attorney general for
information regarding tbu assassination was
agreed to without division
The house amendment to the senate bill
fortbetimo and place of holding the terms
of the United States district court of South
Dakota were concurred In
The educational bill was then taken up
nnd Mr Ulairproeeedod with bis arguments
in support of It At the close ot Mr lilair's

CntcAoo Feb , 20. ISpoclal Telegram to
TnR UrcJ In an editorial this morning the
Trlbuno , under the caption of The Nebras
ka Farmers and the UniotrPaclllc , " aaysi
"In vlow of the fact thut the Union Pacific
railroad traverses Nebraska from east to
west ; that the freight rntos are about SOO
percent blgher than these charged In the
neighboring state of Iowa ; thnt It refuses to
tower thom when uskod to do so by the local
authorities , on the ground that it has a char
ter from the United States aud that the
lines which are chartered by tbo stnto claim
that it is unjust to force thom to come down
while the Union Pacific remains untouched ,
it might bo advisable for congress to pay
mora attention to what the Nebraska farm
rs and merchants ask and less
to what the managers of the road
may demnnd The latter want to postpano
the payment of their Indebtedness for half
n century nnd to reduce the Interest to 3
per cent They also ask that duriug thnt
long porlod they tnuy bo pormlttod to re
main lords paramount nl thu cultivators of
the soil of Nebraska , and that nobodv shall
question the fairness of tholr local freight
rates
The farmers of every Nebraska county
are petitioning their senators and represent
atives to vote ugalnst an extension for fifty
years or any other period , and to Insist that
thu road shall mauu its payments us tboy
fall duo , ami that if it fails to dosoit-bo
treated precisely as the road treats a farmer
to whom it has sold land If ho does
not mnko his payments promptly his
mortgage is foreclosed The mon of Ne
braska cannot see why the road abould not
be dealt with as It deals by others What is
good enough for thelil ts good enough for It
This unanimous protest of a longsuffering
ing community should not pass unheeded
The farmers of Nebraska have mora faith in
tbo greatness of their government than Son
ntorB Tryo and Davis They bellovo it Is su
perior to an v corporation on earth Thev be
llovo that that government which put down

blown out by the explosion of a boiler
The wreck was coraploto us for ub the

day we passed by the building , und
every window was in nnd business was
going on as usual The sight was so
surprising that I was in doubt as to its
reality 'Is this the same BtrcutV I
said to Mr Kendal There was no
doubt about it ; it was the same street
and tha same store Now , in England ,
you know , in a case oi tbat kind wo
should have taken two weeks to con

A Ilndlcnl Hnllrondrr
CrtiCAOO , Fob 20. Tbo annual report of
the Chicago & Alton road for tbo year IS39
shows tbo following figures : Gross earn
ings , $7(110,010 ( ; tncreaso , l" ,131i operating
expenses , $ lr 71,730 ; decrease , $00,1113 ; net

The question of railway legislation by the
states and by the general government is
treated at great length by President JSlack-
stone asd n statement Is made that railroad
property has boon greatly oppressed there
by , Tha report says
"Wo should not complain unless prepared
to suggest a remedy "
The suggestion is made that the national
government shall acquire the ownership of
nil roads in tbo United States now used for
intcrst.ito trnftlc , bv the exercise of Its
right of eminent domain , or by purcbaso
payment therefor to bo made by govern
ment lunds bearing interest at a ruto nut
exceeding II per cent per annum to bo re
deemed by the annual application to
n sinking fund of nn amount equal to I
per cent of the whole amount ot such
bonds so Invested , the annual interest mid
sinking fund to bo fromthonotearnitiKs , und
rates for transportation to bo rcducod from
jear to year so as to provide nn more money
than mny bo needed for such payments
Other details are elaborated at length , the
cblof features bolng the propo3.il that tha
government ot tha roads and the nuking of
rates shall bo vostcd in a bourd ot national
railroad directors , and that all railroad em
ployes , after ono years ' service , shall not bo
subject to discharge without cause and
proper investigation
The report in conclusion sarcastically observes -
serves thut nothing less potent than a spe
cial interposition of providence can so
change public sontlmenb as to Induce the
government to admit ot its being in thu least
degrco unjust in Its treatment of the rail
roaus during the past twenty years

The Wall Street Kins Wants Control

gram to Tuc Bnn.l It is learned upon ex
cellent authority that the hand of Jay
Gould , the Wall street wizard , will next bo
soon in westbrn coal matters Mr OOuld , 1
through his longheaded second ' son Eilwln , 1
controls some of tbe most valuable coal
mines , railroads and suctions of coal lands
in Mlsssouri , Kansas and the Indian terri
tory In the Indian territory Mr Gould's
best lines are near , McAllister , while lu
Kansas he owns the celebrated ChnroUoe and
Windsor mines , and in tnis state ho gets
coal principally at Rich Hill and Lexington
At the first named point Mr Gould's mines
adjoin thnso ot the Keith & Perry cool com
pany The coal company headed by Edwin
Gould is named for the railrmid company of
which the only Jay is at the head Tno M is-
souri Pacifio coal company is a very far
roachmg institution , us are , indeed , all
of Gould's schemes They include
uvory bit of tbo coal lanas on
the Missouri Pacifio railroad , and no other
coal oporntors uro allowed to put a pick into
the ratlroud company's ground iu search ot
the product ot tbo carboniferous age 'ihis
coal monopoly , it will thus ho seen , covers
some of the very best properties of the west
1'ho Keith and Perry mines nt Rich Hill
have not boon gobbled up nor will they bo ,
the Leavonworth mines are out and tno
Standard Oil company's ' llelds In
the Indian territory , probably the
greatest In the world , are in apparently se
cure bands Mr Gould already owns inuoh
valuable coul laud in the territory , howovcr ,
winch-ho reaches by tha Missouri , Kansas &
Texas railroad This property is worked
steadily b.v the Missouri Paalflo coal com
pany , but owing to the poor railroad facili
ties heavy forces have not yet been put on
Tbo Cbcrouco and Miuden properties ot the
company are being woikcd for nil
they are worth , while at Lox
ington and Rich Hill , in this
state , the Gould interests are mining in
altnost unlimited quantities Mr Eawiu
Gould , piesidont and gonerul manager ot the
Missouri Pacific coal company ; has Just re
turned to Now York from the southwest
His puruoso In going to lha Indian territory ,
it Is understood , was to look into the valua

Ho found thom altogether satisfactory , und
will ndviso the immedlato extension ot the
Missouri Pncinu from some polut butween
Waggoner , I. T. , and Fort Smith , Ark , into
the coal fields from which the output Is now
hauled by Missouri , Kansas & Texas cars
At ono tiii'O it was assorted that Mr Gould
proposed buying the Missouri , Kansas and
Texas in its entirety , but it is thought that
such a move would not bix advantageous in
view ot the olose proximity ot his present
line to the Held ho wishes to penetrate This
fnct.bonovor.does notalter the arrangement
