ment that New York, through her rep
resentatives, would present her claims
for the location of the proposed World s
Fair beforo the Senate special commit
tee on the tquadri'C-ntennial to-day, was
sufficient to attract a crowd to the capi-
tol that speedily exhausted the accom
modations of the Senate reccption room,
where the hearing was held, lhero was
.such pressure foi: admittance that the
committee contemplated repairing to
the Senate chamber, but found that a

take* s rmuMM for an hour
rod t'haif in order to permit its mem
bers to attend the funeral of Judge

resentatives.
REPEW SPEAKS.
Mr. Depew was the first speaker. He
began to speak in a husky tone of voice,
but It soon cleared. He was listened to
throughout with the closest attention,
nnd was frequently interrupted by np-
plau-e from his loyal and admiring New
York ►’.pporters,
Mr. Ltepew, an American wh6 |was at

i-.m |... -j In than that of bolding an ex-
klU&a which nhuuld be equal if it did
not . '. cl the one held in France.
UUEATNDMOP TUB PARIS BROW,
That was the finest exhibition of the
arts, of the manufacturee, of the prog
ress of- civilisation and tho world tliat
lms bam seen in any of tho great exhib
itions that have been held at a national
capital, in Europo or at Philadelphia, in
18<G. Every visitor there was improved
by the appearance made by the older
countries of Europe, by tho representa
tives of the nations of Asia, aud of Af
rica, by Great Britian and her dependen
cies about the globe, by Mexico, and by
the .South American republics. It was a
representation of their products, their
manufactured, their skill, which was en
tirely satisfactory to them aud impress
ive on all other nations.
AMERICA’S FAILURE AT PARIS.
The one spot where there was a failure
to present adequately, or to present at all
jtwijwcUiUy, the products, progress, the
manufacturing skill and ubifity of the
United State* m competition with other
nations, w*s tho exhibit of tho Umtcd
States themselves. Now it becomes
necessary to ltold an exhibition of the
United Mates which shall bo so broad in
iU character, so international in its in
vitations and in its honpitnlitics, that ull
the people who can produce, who wunt
* materials or who have opportunities (or
trade, shall come hero with their products
to exhibit and seo what we can do. That
exhibition must necessarily bo the Lest
presentation of the growth, of tho in-
vi-ntious, of the skill, of the arts, of tho
manufacturing power of tho United
States that has ever been gathered on
this continent.
REPEW BAYS NEW YORK IB TOE ONLY
PLACE,
Ha reviewed the arguments put forth
by the advocates of other cities, and pre
sented tho claims of Now York, speak
ing of tho cost of the fair, ho said tho
Paris exhibition had cost about fi0,000,-
000, and this one, with increased price
of labor here, would coat at least 912,000,-
000. Unless there was that much mouoy
in sight, the fair would be, ho said, a
failure, lie ridiculed the apprehensions
that Tammany Hall could derive any
political beneht from the fact of tho fair
being held m New York, and claimed,
in conclusion, that New York was the
great center, tlp» great representative
city of America, and that if tho choice
were given to every family in tho United
Btates to choose one city to visit, and
only one, the vote would bo unanimous
to “Take mo to New York.”
Mr. Depew was followed by Burke
Cochran, who occupied the remainder of
the time to tbe recess.
NOW COMES CHICAGO.
When tho committeo re-assembled at
1:15 o’clock, the room was ugsin crowded
to its fullest capacity and the Chicago
delegation had front scats. Prominent
among them were Mayor Cregicr, .Secre
tary Crogin of tho World’s Fair com
mittee, ex-Congrcwunan George IL Davis,
Gen. A. K. btevensou, ex-First A habitant
Postmaster General, Gen. Newberry,

nutur Warner Miller, who, with
president of the New » ork.State

MAYOR COFXJIEU FOR CHICAGO.
2 o'clock Mayor t’regicr began the
Btatiuu of the argument in behalf
olj WHAT A MODEROUSUANH!
of the location of the city itself. It is in
T'lK VIRGIN IA Dr.BT,
tho coatcr of the agricultural interests of
the country, and, therefore, the best
place for the fair intended for that peo
ple. Its manufactures are widespread
and important, and an exposition of the
mechanical arts will be at home there.
Tho mayor spoke of the financial ability
of tho city to project and ojierats an ex
position, and of tno resources of the city
as a place of entertainment for the large
crowds that are expected to attend the
: position.
He was followed by Thomas B. Bryan in
an enthusiastic and eloquent presentation
of the attractions and capabilities of
Chicago as compared with those of New
York. He was frequently interrupted
by applause.
BIB ROASTERS FOR NEW YORK.
In closing he referred to the speech of
Mr. Dcpew, saying ho never opened his
mouth without opening a casket of gems
it and wisdom. lie, the speaker,
said he could not help wishing while
Mr. DejKjw was speaking that these gems
were blocks, which might be changed
into marble, for then, he knew that the
godded of liberty would not have been
compiled to wait so long for her pe
destal, nor her eyes have erown weary
waiting for a sight of the Washington
memorial arch and the Grant monument.
[Laughter]. Chicago has one thing, lie
said, New York has not, by the adtuisslou
of the Bleaker this morning, Mr. Depew,
public spirit, and that spirit invites the
location of the fair.
Chic ago’s finances.
The financial and physical features of
Chicago’s claims were presented to the
committeo by E. K, Jeffrey's, formerly
goneral manager of tho Illinois Central
railroad. The conclusion of Jeffreys’
remarks ended the open public discus
sion of the location of the World’s Fair
before the Senate special committee.
Senator Hiscock stated after the hearing
closed that ho would call tho committee
together agaiu Monday morning at 11
o'clock and he expressed a hope that a
report upon tha World’s Fair bill would
be made to the Senate somo time uext

WfUT a murderous tlot.
In tho mo in, the testimony was prac
tically the same ns on the trials of Ed
Johnson and Jim Butts, though the
ntsfoment* of those worthies created a
sensation,
Ed Johnson stated that all five of the
negroes on trial were iu the plot to rob
Capt. Miller, and names Hooks and
Parham; that all sgreed to go to C'apL
Miller’s house the night of the murder,
and that nil did go except lioee Gib. on.
Ho said that Glcu Lnwoon, i a >u
Hall and Alfred McUoUmr went
into the house; thnt Lawson carried
the axe, and Mann Hall had a heavy oak
stick about four feet long. While these
three were in the house committing the
foul cr.m9, the others, Ed Johnson, Jim
Butts and Alfred McGehee, kept watch
outside near tbe house, lie further said

Jim Butts exonerated tho five negroes
on trial, and Raid thnt P.d Johnimn com
mitted the crime atone; that he (Jim
Butts) went with him to Capt. Miller’s
homo, but he did so becuure Johnson
told him they were going to a wedding.
He emphatically declined that he did
not agree to ussist in the robberr or
other crime in any way whatever, this
statement it generally believed to be a
lie, as it is uuUcrmtiy different from the
statement Butt* made on tho commit-
Bunt trial, ond different from two other
statements lie ho-- made to purties who
have questioned him.
Of course each of the prisoner* say

THE CHAPLAIN*! tribute
The choral piece, “I Know my the Re
deemer Liveth,” was sung nnd the court
entered. Rev. Mr. Kocgel, the court
chaplain, in an eloquent address re
viewed Augusta’s connection with
German history during tiio last fifty
yean. Ho ha* since furnished to the
Reichstag a list of sjrf-cial scriptural
texts of which the empress was partic
ularly fond. Among tho many anec
dotes now made public in regard to the
de d cultures* is one that has the interest
of actuality. In sending a j^Rt to a ffis-
Oman’s husband had been a socialist
and she said: “I don’t cor* what the
political opinions of the man were, I
only remember tliat Lo has left a hungry
family.” To-day the house* in the
Untcr dm Linden are draped witn black
and the lamps are shrouded with crape.
THE OERMANS AND CZECHS.
It b expected that tho conference of
the Bohemian, German and Czech par
ties will end to-day. The delegates are
reticent regarding the proceedings. The
Germans hold that Count Taafe has
nvked them to help him solve an in
to! ublo problem against themselves, in
Bohemia there aro 2,UCO,OCO Germans
8 000,000 Czechs. The Germans stand in
that country in a stronger position than
tho Ulster men in Ireland. Yet Tnafo
ha* ignored them for ten years and given
rein to tho Czechs. He now finds that
in this ho has not even p!ea*cd
the Czechs themselves. They are not
satisfied with the repeated concessions
made to them at the expense of tlu» Ger
mans to help him out ot his dilemma by
making further concessions for the sake
of peso* This they hold to be absurd
politics. They themselves only demand
that intthe German speaking district* of
Itoliotma tho German language shall be
the official tongue and that in the dis
tricts where there is a mixed population
tho language of the majority shall pre
vail.
OERMAXS DOWX ON*TAAFE.
The Germans accuse Count Taafe of
trying to make all Bohemia a Czech
country, and in consequence of tho suc
cess of his efforts in that direction they
say that the German imperial patriotism
is disappearing. They assert that tho
German element, which Is the largest
aud strongest national mas* in the em
pire, has been kept down for ten years by
combinations of the other elements
against )L In the coalitions of the na-
tional elements thero is none, they say,
which could govern Austria alone and
agree long with any other nationality
except in opposition to the Germans,
The German party points out that the
Czechs, who at heart are in sympathy
with Russia, therefore hate the Poles;
yet, desptto this, the Poles unite with
them against the Germans, who form
the backbone of tho com.try and tqion
whom alone the monarchy couhl rely in
a crisis.
WHAT THE CZtCUS SAY.
On the other band the Czechs do not
contemplate Germans os such innccent
and helpless victims of persecution and
intimate that this is not the first they
base heard of tho exclusive virtue of
mat race, lney accuse me Germans ol
endeavoring to eradicate from the
country tbe Czech language and institu
tions, and whatever else may stand in
th( way of German domination ami as
sert tliat they themselves have had a
fair show in the conflict only siuceTsafe
has been in office. They do not dispute
tbe full right of the Germans to u*e
their own language in the dis
tricts occupied by them, but they I told
that Bohemia should be independent as
Hungary is, and claim that the emperor
should recognise their national rights
and privileges by being crowned King
of Bohemia, as the emperors formerly
were.
A ITORY ON THE EMPEROR.
The commandant of Berlin officially
denies the story that when tbe password

perrr formally addressed tho officer* re

IN HK7IORY OF KELLEY.
r Tiers lu (l*fs If oils© lit Honor
ilio Drad Pennsylvanian.
Washington, Jan. 11.—Long before
the hours of noon th* galleries of the
House were filled with spectators anx
ious to do honor to tiro memory of tho
man who had for many years been a
prominent member of that body. A few
moments before the House wo* called to
order tho members of tho Senate, with
out formal announcement, qntered the
chamber and quickly took seats in thu
body of tho hall. A sable-covered bier
stood in from of tbe clerk's desk and a
handsome floral tribute was placed near
by.
At 12:10, the officiating clergymen,
Bi». Kuiicr auu Cuthuerl, elilured the
hall, reading the beginning of the burial
service, Tney wero followed Dy tho
committee of tho .Senate and House hav
ing charge of the ceremonies, and then
amid a tolcmn hush the' magnificent
casket containing tho remains ot Wil
liam D. Kelley was passed on the bier.
The family of' the deceased were then
escorted to the seats provided for them
close to the casket.
SERVICES IN THE HOUSE.
The burial service was read by Dr.
Butler and prayer was offered by Dr.
C'uthbert. Dr. Butler then read the 10th
chapter of the Frst Epi«tlo of tho Cor
inthians and followed his reading by
prayer. The benediction was delivered
by Dr. C’uthbert nnd then slowly and
sadly tho committees escorted tho re
mains of Hon. Wm. D. Kelley from tho
chamber which had known him so long
and so well. The senators, heuded by
the Vice-President who had occupied a
seat to the right of tho speaker, having
left the chamber, ou motion of Mr.
Bingham of Peunsylvauia, tho House as
an adcilions 1 mark of respect to the
memory of the deceased at 12:40 ad
journed.
A BOLT FOB BRICE.
Humored That Certnin Ohio Demo
crat* Will Jump the Caucus.
Columbus, 0.,Jau. 10.—There have
been several rumor? in circulation to-day
relative to a proposed bolt of tho caucus
which last nigut nominated CoL Calvin
S. Brice for the Senate. There were
•oventy-three members of the caucus.
Three did not appear. They are Smith
of Franklin, Mum on of Licking and
Counts of Shelby, It is reported that
they will not voto for Brice. Counts is
here and refuses to talk. Munson went
home this morning. One report is that
he will voto for Brice and another that
ho will bolt. A double-headed expression
has ulso been received from Smith for
and against Brice.
SITUATION CREATES UXEA9INES3.
The situation at least has created un
easiness. Those who ought to know the
facts are not talking for publication.
There will be 74 democrats from the
caucus to vote for Brice, Brown of
Hancock having sent a note to the cau
cus that he would support the nominee.
Thero aro 71 republicans and if tho
three alleged voter* join them
they would iiave tho same number of
votes a* tho democrats. The claim is
made that Brice will hare to secure a
majority or all tiro members elected to
tho legislature, which would be seventy-
six. Brice's managers claim that the
law only requires a majority of those
present nnd voting.
DEATH CUTTING OrF DEMOCRATS.
Kenvsentativo Knapp (democrat)
died last night, and Lawler (democrat)
is not expected to live through tbe night,
which cuts the number of democratic
members to 77, aud the alleged bolters
still reduces tho strength to 74. Brice
and lib advisers seem but
very little disturbed over the
re{iort, and say the three members wiii
sup|iort the caucus nominee, and tliat it
U an injustice to charge them with eu-
tertniniug an idea of bolting tho caucus
in tho interest of any other democrat
or republican. Af election to fill
the Knapp vacancy will bo ordered by
Governor (.'urapbe)l next week, but this
will require thirty days. Governor
Foraker relused to issue the |iroclama-
lion to-day on the ground tliat Knapp
hod not been buried.

SO FARMER WEDDEBURN OF VIRGINIA
TELLS M’KINLEY’S COMMITTEE.
llo Says tho TnrifT MuH Go or the
FarmersMust no Paid Bounties—
ihe SttrUT Werttileea t<> «s.o
Laborer.
Wasiiinoton, Jtn. 11.—The ways and
means cemmitteee continued its hearings
to-day. Alex D. Weddeburn, of Alex
andria, Va., appeared as a representa
tive of the legislative committee of the
national grange and the Virginia state
grange, to demand equal protection for
the farmer with the steel, iron and wool
manufacturers. A witness yesterday had
asked to bavo briarwood placed on the
free list because it was produced only by
a few negroes in North Carolina. This
was not a proper pit-a, for there poor
wards of tha nation should bo protected
in their labor as w ell as the pipemaker.
He said the great surplus collected from
the farmer for tho benefit of tho manu
facturers should lie equitably divided by
a series of bounties upon agricultural
products.
THE TARIFF ROBS THE FARMER,
Mr. Breckinridge—There is no way to
help the farmer except by paying him a
I county or by reducing the taxes on what
he consumes. Is there?
The witness—None that I can see.
To Mr. Bayne he said that in his opin
ion protection protected the manufac
turers and cnabkd them to form combi
nations and trusts to tuke money out of
tho farmers’ pockets, but tho grange
recognized thnt tho country lutd de
clared for protection, and ho was not
hero to advocate free trade. He w as for
equal legislation and tho protection of
the farmers by means of bounties. Ho
dul not think the present system of taxa
tion protected laborers to the value of a
row of pins,
Cornelius Morrison of New York, rep
resenting the importers of brewers’ rice,
protested agaimt any iucrease of the
present duties. He said ono of the large
western breweries would con sumo tno
entire product of tho broken rice of tho
Soutlr.
THE DUTY ON BARYTES.
Representative Wm. H. Kinney of
Missouri appeared in behalf of tho pro
ducers of barytes, used in the manufac
ture of paint, asking that the duty bo in
creased to meet largo importations fi
Germany, whence barjtes come as L...
last. The industry had been broken by
tho tariff of 18D!I and could be revived
only by a restoration of tho old rates.
W. H. Dinno of Lynchburg, Va., a
producer of barytes, said thut tho ma
terial was hauled 1,(0J miles from tho
Bart! mountains and delivered on board
of vessels at German seaports nt |2.85 a
ton, while he (the witnevs), paying his
negro miners 94 a week and hfuil.m- if
half a mile, could not produce barytes at
less than a ton. A Connecticut firm
was importing and grinding this Ger
man product and underselling the wit-
ne«*. He denied that barytes was an
adulterant in paints, and susertod that
its admixtures benefited lead paints,
STOLi: SILVER FOB TIN,
New York Thieve* Nicnl Silver Bar
T!iliikiii£ They Were Getting Tin.
New York, Jan. 11.—'The two bars of
silver belonging to brokers Zimmerman A
Dorsay, of No. 25 Broad street, which
disappeared from tho truck while lx ing
conveyed to the steamship pier on the
night of Din*. 20. have been traced by
Inspector Byrnes’ detectives.
It wp?4trs that three th,e?cs CaitcJ off
the silver which was Tallied at 92,200
under cover of a heavy fog which pre
vailed on the night in question. The
thieves are Edward Rock, John Kenan
alias Nagle aud Thomas Dugan alias Red
Dugan, all ex-convicts. William Oil-
martin. a junk man, and Charles .Seaton,
a thief ju«t out ot prison, are also in cus
tody as receivers of tho stolen bar/,
THOUGHT IT WAS TIN,
It appears that after removing tbe bars
from tho truck the trio carried them to
the junk shop mentioned to dispose of
them. They thought their booty was
block tin, und Gilmnrtin was equally in
iguoranco of tho true character of the
uictiil. He offered tho thieve* $14 for
the plunder and they promptly accepted
it It wax not until the next morning
on reading a newspaper that they learned
that their liooty was so much more
precious than they had supposed. All
three hurried to tho Junk man, aud after
some dickering induetd him to take back
the money he had jiaid them.
BE ATI NO UP THB SILVER.
The junk man agreed to keep tbe
silver for the men, and did so until ne
gotiations lmd been mado with thief
Seatou. who took it off his hands. Kea
ton puid Sfi>0 for the bars, and tho money
wax divided among the theivos, after
9150 had been j*aid Gilmurtin for his
trouble. Heaton was arrested while
selliug some of the silver, which he had
beaten and melted into a new form, at
the away office yesterday. Altogether
9*0 worth of silver has thus far been
recovered, nnd this has been turned over
to the truckmen who had satisfied the
brokers by paying them the amount of
their Ions.
