NOTES. The discussion of the world's fair bill by the house committee on foreign affairs lias resulted in bringing forward a propo sition which it is suggested may aid in the selection of a site for tho fair by tho house. ‘ The committee has already de cided that it will report a bill leaving blank the name of the city where the fair shall be held, but it is feared that if it, goes into the house in that shape and without some arrangement in advance to govern the method of selection of a siie, no agreement can ever lie reached. The Semite committee to select (lie site for the quadro-eenleniiinl exposition, on Friday, listened to the claims of Washington city to be selected, as present ed by District-Commissioner Douglas ; Secretary Anderson, of the national hoard of promotion of the three Americas exposition; Major Powell, chief of the geologic survey: Myron M.

Ya.. appeared before the ways amt means committee, on Saturday, as repre sentative of the legislative committee of the national grange and farmers of the Virginia state grange to demand equal protection of farm, with iron and wool manufacturers. He said that in his opin ion protection protected manufacturers, and enabled them to form combinations and trusts, to take money out of the far mers* pocket, but the grange recognized that the country bad declared for pro tection, and he was not there to advocate free trade. He. was for equal legislation, and the protection of fanners by means of bounties. He did not think the present system of taxation protected laborers to tiie value of a "row of pins.” FALLING WALLS.
