l'h« World'* Fair.
Washington, Jan. 21.—The special
committee on the world's fair held its
first meeting this morning.
Mr. Springer called up his resolution
providing that the hou.«p proceed next
Thurslay to selcct a site for the world's
fair by ballot and it was discussed for an
hour. Mr. Springer urged the importance
of speedy action on the proposition. He
held that by its action on the Cannon
resolution list week, the house had virtu-
ally decided that the matter must be set
tied as early as p >ssible and th it the com
mittee was practically under such in-
structions and was as much bound by
them *9 if they had been formulated He
argued that the house could not move in
the matter until it tint settled where the
fair was to be held.
Mr Hitt also declared In favor of the
immediate selection of a site by the house
and pointed out how delay jeopardizes
the chances of the fair.
Mr. Flower thought the date fixed for
ballotting on the springer resolution,
(Thursday neit) was a little too soon Ho
suggested that a resolution be report-
ed providing for a debate in the house
next Monday, one hour and a
half to be allowed for the pre-
sentation of the claims of each
city, to be followed by balloting _on
Tuesday.
Mr. Frank of Missouri offered a resolu-
tion that the Springer resolution (provid-
ing for balloting by the house next
Thursday) bo referred toa sub committee
of three with instructions to report at the
next committee meeting. After much
debate this was adopted and a sub-com-
m'ttee w»s selected as follows: Chand-
ler. chairman; Messrs Hitt and Flower.
The Nation'* Ward*.
Washington, Jan 21 —The president
has sent to the senate the report made by
General Crook and Lieutenant Howard
on tha con iition of the Apache prisouers
at Mt\ Vernon Barracks. The president
recommends that provision be ma le for
locating these Induns upon lands in .he
Indisn Territory, and says: Some of (he
Indians have rendered good service to the
<rotunm<-nt in the pursuit and captureof
the murderous band that followed Geron-
imo It is a reproach that they should
not in our treatment of them be distin-
gniahed from the cruel and bloody mem-
bers of the tribe now confined with them
The president has also sent to the sen
ate a memorial prepared bv a committee
of the American association for the ad-
vancement of science relating to the
preservation of forests on the public
domain. The president approves the
sentiments expressed in the memorial and
recommends legislation to prevent the
needless destruction of our great areas.

San Francisco, Jaa 21.—The steamer
Oceanic with Miss Nellie Bly among her
passengers arrived here at 9:30 this
morning. Miss Bly wm taken off by a
tug as soon as the steamer entered the
harbor, and was taken at once to Oak-

which was in waiting, and started on an
overland journey via the Southern Pacific
and Atlantic and Pacific routes.

Winnipeg, Jan. 21.—The band of 800
Indians of St. Peter's reservation, a few
miles out of Winnipeg, is being wiped
out. The Indians are afflicted with la
grippe in its most severe form, and being
without proper medical attendance they
quickly succumb lo '.he malady which, in
most cases, developes into lung diseases
Seven.y-five per cent of them are down
with the epidemic and if speedy action
is not taken by the authorities in the
way of sending physicians few will sur-
vive.
morning by two masked men. seven miles
north of Tulare. The robbers climbed
over the tender to the engine and com-
pelled the engineer to stop the train.
They then compelled the engineer and
fireman to no with them and ordered the
expressman to open his door. The
amount taken is not known, but it is ru-
mored to be several thousand dollars.
The robbers made the engineer and fire
man accompany them some distance from
the train. A tramp stealing a ride was
mistaken for a train man and the robbers
•hot him in the head. He was brought
here and may recover. There is no trace
of the robbers yet.
Kad of th* World.
Charlotte, N. C.. Jan. 19,—Much
excitement prevails among the people of
many western counties on account of
alarming sermons being preached by
ministers of the Baptist denomination.
It is siid tuat a few days a conference of
twenty preachers of the faith was held at
Brushy Mountain in Wilkes county.
Rev. Israel Hollock. one of the oldest
preachers in western North Carolina, eud
possessing great influence among his
brethren, presided at the conference.
The preachers debated on the coming of
Christ or the end of the world,an 1 finally
agreed to preach that the world would
surelv and certainly come to an end this
year Their preaching is said to have
greatly stirred up the more ignorant class
among the farm people, and it is feared
that it will affect the crops to a certain
extent, farmers who believe ttie doctrine
cuncludiug that it is of no use to make
any preparations ahead.
T enant* of a UoaU tiica Dm.
(From Longman'* Magazine.)
Go and live there, inhabit that pictur-
esque adobe dwelling for twenty-four
hours, either with or without jungle
fever, and your enthusiasm will possibly
be considerably modified. Tho breeze,
tepid and languorous, brings little re-
freshment to the heavy, steaming atmos-
phere, charged by blazing sunshine in
brief alternation with torrents of rain,
deadly miasmas from the rot laden lagoon
steal like ghosts through the moonlit
night, aud e*ery type of winged and
creeping abomination that earth produces
there teems and swelters in luxurious viru
ience. Great hairy tsrantula spiders,
centipedes a foot long and scorpions like
niiniatuie lobsters had their being in the
banana leaf thatch above me; land crabs
burrowed up through the fun^us-gro^n
floor to visit my couch; huge toads and
veno;nous reptiles came frankly in at the
door. Alligators aud enormous serpents
infested the lagoon bard by and might
bo expected at any moincut. I did not
see an anaconda while I was there, but
a blow trom the tail uf au alligator
struggling with some creature it had
captured, actually broke away Borne of
the wall of my hut one night. Beastly
oats sailed in occasionally, aud were
found by daylight pendant and pugna-
cious overhead, while more than oace a
yell, a scuffle and a rush proclaimed the
disturbed intrusion of some unidentified
delegate of the cat tribe.
Respiratory air seemed have acquired
a third constituent in addition to its nor-
mal oxygen and nitrogeu in the stiffening
clouds of moBquitos which filled the
darkness—and a Central American mos
quito is as merciless an organism as any
of its acc.ut&ed kind found outside of the
Arctic circle,which is saying a good deal.
Strange thiugs whizzed and buzzed and
boomed through the obscurity, dropping
with a sharp thud as though ehot, or
alighting with sticky feet, reluctant of
dislodgement, on one's face; all night
long there was a rattling and a crackling
and a creeping suggestive of unseen
invertebrate horrors all around; walls,
floor and roof crawled, and were horrent
with hideous animation. I am a natural-
ist by instinct, and can love and cherish
the meanest reptile, but I would not vole
untanly of forethought and design choose
a hut in a Costa Rica swamp as a shelter
for my sick bed during the delirium of
intermittent fever.

Chicago Jan. 21.—A special from New
York says there is a rumor on Wall street
which, considering the discussion of
Secretary Windom's silver proposition,
occasions considerable comment. Messrs.
Zimmerman and Fershay announced they
had received advices from London to the
effect that the Bank of England is about
to exercise its right, never hitherto as-
serted, to use silver to the extent of one-
third ot its reserve aud issue SI
notes in silver against it. . The
dispatch also said the hank had purcha-
sed 13,000,000 of silver bullion in the
expectation of this action. The larger
foreign firms on the street, while they de-
clared that they had received nothing
confirming the rumored action of the
Bank of England, said that such a step
was by no means unlikely, but on the
contrary that there were inany reasons
why such an issue would be advanta-
geous to England.
lArtdu'i Oomplalnt.
Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 20.—A. special
to the Gazette says: "A Laredo con-
tractor and his workmen have just re-
turned from Villaladoma, Mexico, on the
line of the Mexican National, where taey
have been for the past month erecting a
second smelter for the Mexican and
Yanana mining and smelting compiny.
The company wil. begin operations of the
two smelters combined on Monday next,
and they will hereafter be run to the ex-
tent of their capacity, twelve tons of bar
lead and silver pi r day. This product is
shipped through this country in bond to
Liverpoo', where it is refined, the silver
being separate 1 from the lead, Thus
operates Secretary Windom's interpreta-
tion of the tariff laws on the ore question
an 1 compels the o »ners of the two hun-
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars
concentrator in thiscitv to remain closed.
Murdered in Hed.
Catlkttsbubg. Ky. Jan. 21.—R. M.
Loner, a Wyandottn county constable
was murdered and his wifn desperately
wounded Sunday night by a band of rufi
fians who broke into his house. A neigh
bor passing found the front door had
been broken in with a piece of timber
used as a battering ram. On the bed,
weltering in their blood, were Long
and his wife. The former's body
was literally riddled with bu lets and
life was extinct. The latter had a ghastly
wound in the face from which she was
rendered unconscious. As the furniture
was not disturbed and the wife could
give no solution of the mystery after she
had regained consciousness, friends cf
the murdered man believe a gang of des-
peradoes, against whom be held a war-
rant for "moonshining," committed the
awful deed. Others belieye it is only a
continuation of the Hatfield' McCoy feud,
as the victim is related to the former
family. The wouids of the woman are
believed to be fatal.

Tbenton, N. J. Jan. 2t — In his inaug-

in the classification of silk ribbons used

Boston, Jan. 21 —About seventy-five
men and a large number ot girls emp oyed

ber factory received notices yesterday
