THREE AMERICAS EXPOSITION. Washington the Only Suitable Place for Its Location. From the American Arebitect and Building News, The object of the exhibition is threefold: To commemorate and do honor to the name of Columbus en the four hundredth anniversary ef his discovery of America. To bind more firmly together North, South and Central America in friendship and amity, by contact, friendly iutercourse and rivalry. To induce a more cxtended exchange of raw materials and manafactures between these countries which are bound to each other by the ties of one land, and which would be of material advantage to all. All movements toward the formation of such sn exhibition have been entirely local, their claims being supported only by their own in- weliers with the one exception— Washington city—whose scheme is not ouly national but American, I might almost say world-wide. Brooklyn, through Talmage; St. Lous and Chicago, through a committee of citizens; New York, through its stock exchange; Staten d, through some of its newspapers, have all made a bid to obtain this valuable prize. For, in whatsoever commercial or manufactur- img city the exhibition is located, that city and expects to forestall its sister cities in any commerce, consignments and trade which undoubtedly be the outcome of it. Wash- ington, with no commerce, manufactures or trade, does not expect to outrun its fellow- cities in the race for gain, is indorsed with few exceptions by every city and state in the Union, by the eighteen American nations, and by Spain and Italy. who are anxious to do honor to the name of Columbus. ALL CLAIMANTS FOR LOCATION have gracefully withdrawn their claims, except New York and Chicago. New York is profes- sedly determined to win. the prize. This large city has made many failures in efforts to accomplish even smali things when the monied men did not see an investment with good, sure interest behind it. Are not the chances in favor of history repeating itself in this instance? ‘The Statue of Liberty pedestal, for money to build which they found it necessary to beg all over the country, and then were on the verge of failure. [By ‘th have been placed in Washington, not in New York.} Grant, although adored, was loved less the money which is not forthcoming to eten commence his monument; and his very grave was used for the purpose of boomin, real estate. If repeated at an internation: event, such squabbles as those between the , the aldermen, the legislature and the ittees during the late centennial ceremo- nies in New York would be very mortifying to right-minded citizens of the United States and would create a bad and possibly a hurtful im- Pression on our sister nations, At the time of the world’s exhibition in New Orleans, about three years ago. in New York there were great blowing of trumpets. meetings of citizens, ap- intment of committees, collection of money m railroad and hotel’ men (the only New Yorkers who apparently felt sure of a proper return), selection of a site and other things preliminary to a great world’s fair. New York ‘ust and would have the fair! What was finally done? No site would do except Central park. The people would not have Central park destroyed even temporarily for such a ga ose. Only some few hundred thousand ae were raised, where as many millions Were necessary. It would have been of ad- vantage to the many in New York, THE MONIED FEW were evidently aware that the personal return would not be sufficient to induce them to dip deeply enough into their pockets to carry the scheme through. The result all will remem- ber; the exhibition was held in New Orleans, New York bas topographical or geographical difficulties which, I think, she would be posi- tively unable to surmount. The street and elevated roads are crowded—and even the hotels in many instances—with the ordinary Population. How would it transport and lodge the large crowds who would necessarily attend the exhibition with no room within herself to expand? And where would New York hold it? That is a question over which they are now having a determined fight. In New York the exhibition would be almost necessarily «local affair, although possibly a big local affair. The south, west and east would not join, or at least would join with little zest or vim in help- ing New York to still further monopolize trade, could join at Washington as on neutral ground belonging equally to every part of the country, with a ME 2 of certainty that any trade or commercial advautage that would ac- crue would be in proportion to the display each city or section should make. Richmond, At- lanta, New York, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco. would each receive its due — of advantage. The governments of American nations would more readily in- dorse such an exhibition in Washington. the capital city of the strongest one of these na- tions, than fn any city. however large, which represented only a state or section of United States. Chicago not being on the seaboard, the cost of transportation thither of exhibits would be a sufficient bar to materially cripple the number and ebaracter of such exhibits. ADVANTAGES OF WASHINGTON, The advantages of Washington are: First, that it is the capital of the nation; secondly, it has permanent exhibits of no little importance. Starting with the Capitol, the largest and most important building in the country. architcetur- ally, historically, Togislatively and judicially, here thoughtful’ people may study our great judges and legislators, in the Supreme Court and houses of Congress. Some hundred yards to the east of the Capitol will probably be com- ee by that time the new Congressional ibrary, containing one of the largest libraries im the world and in itself to be, I believe, the largest library building. West, a short distance, are the botunieai gardens. Two equares farther west still is the fish commission buiiding, where the methods of tish hatching, breeding and distributing can be seen with pleasure, Across the «treet, still going west, is the National museum, full of interesting and valuable things, showing the history of man and his imple- ments, utensils, arms and habits; also many THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C...

The intention of the board is to have at least « part of Calera epee set fend Manent one, displayin e a ngey different states and Rathens; jing to the long series of it ing collections which already occupy the mall, as enumerated above. This would be of permanent advan’ and interest to our country. Reser pine ae well drilled in the proper an: me! man- flseacny as exemplified by our in- ratiroad Ite lines run to all parts of the country, and the Potomac furnishes oppor- tunity for tion by water from all rts of the world. The wharves would be on @ exhibition grounds, and little rebandling or hauling would be necessary. In this connection it does not seem out of place to mention in addition to the advantages which have been named for locating the new headquarters of the A.A. in Washington that an active institute in this city might induce the establishment of an architectural museum in connection with some of the many museums now in operation, and it might obtain the establish- ment of a government testing station for build- ing materials as. advocated at the last conven- tion by the Washington chapter. The change in the method of ting the supervising architect’s office would have a bet- ter chance of being carried through. The reasons why the first convention of the new institute should be held here are: The neutrality of the city and these many things of interest as enumerated in connection with the exhibition, and a Cn ere bes the objects to be obtained by the institute ough the govern- ment, Giexn Brows, 7 Gnaxp Recatra at Bay Rrpoz.—On Friday, August 30, in addition to the attractions of the Anae Arundel county fair and the wonderful Pawnee Bill’s wild west show, a grand regatta will be held on Lake Ogieton at 4:30 p.m. The celebrated clubs takin; rt are the Ariel of Baltimore, Potomac of ashington, the Vir- ginia club of Richmond and the Severn of An- napolis.

SS uo SRE, The Irish University Bill. The London Standard believes that the new Irish university bill which the government has prepared and which Mr. Balfour briefly out- lined in a speech yesterday will provide a special charter and a separate endowment for a Catholic university to be located in Dublin and to be completely independent of existing in- stitutions, This concession on the part of the government is expected to still further strain the relations between the Parnellites and the radicals, the former of whom cannot fail to heartily welcome the proposal, while the rad- icals will as bitterly oppose it. ————— ree —— The Wisconsin Highwayman. A special from Ashland, Wis., says the name of the highwayman and murderer is Reimund Holzhay, and he formerly lived at Shawano. He is a young-appearing man, has pleasant manners, evidently knows the usages of polite society, converses fluently and in good lan- guage, and is not at all the whiskered villiain that the lone highwayman of the north has been painted. It is stated that Holzhay ate breakfast in the hotel Monday morning at the same table wit the tourists whom he wasafter- ward to meet in the dark forest to rob or mur- der. They conversed with him as with any pleasant ‘chance acquaintance, found him reasonably intelligent aud apparently honest. 00 Go on Fripay anp Satvrpar Eventxa to Marshall Hall excursion.

A St. Augustine, Fla., special says: There is great excitement there over the discovery of hidden Spanish treasure in an old house on the corner of Bridge and Marine streets which is being torn down to make room for improve- ments. A negro employe in digging near the foundation of the chimney dug up a metallic t containing fifty-two Spanish coins, The test date on the coins is 1806 and several of them autedate 1760.

A misplaced switch at the Swan-street crossing caused a collision on the West Shore road with a Rochester aud Pittsburg train. The Rochester and Pittsburg engine ran into the West Shore sleepers, throwing them from the track. Rob- ert Weed, a boy, was thrown from the car plat- form and had his wrist fractured. A lady pas- senger and the negro porter were badly bruised. A Western New York and Pennsylvania train ran off the track about the same time near North Division street. Engine 56 on the Nickle Plate road was run out of the Chicago- street round house about 7 o'clock, aud near the Hamburg street crossing the engineer saw train No. 24 coming in fast speed. He reversed his engine and he and the fireman jumped. The train hit the switch engine with territic force, knocking it back into the round house. Engine No. 140 was just coming out and both engines were smashed. The engineer and fire- man of No. 140 were badly injured. ee Yost Will Not Support Mahore. The Valley Virginian, 8. M.

Adjoining the mu- seum on one side is the Smithsonian Institution, with similar interesting matter on exhibition, and on the other side is the Army medical mu. seum, with the largest and best medical library im the world and many rare specimens, particu- larly rare, I believe, im the examples of gun- shot wounds. Nothing could be more interest- ing to the medical frateruity. Passing from the Smit jan grounds, still in a westward direc- tion, we G0 into those belonging to the Agricul- tural department, where farmers and. agri- culturists and all interested in vegetables and domestic fowls cen see many things to please them. Still going west, we pass into the Wash- ington monument grounds, to the monument, up which an average of 10,000 people have one monthly since it was opened to the public. e bird's-eye view of the city, the Potomac and the surrounding country well repays the visitor for the time and troyble needed for the ascent. It is the highest stone structure in the world, tall, simple and effective in its pure white outline against the green hills and the blue sky which form its background. NORTH OF THE MONUMENT, within ten minutes’ easy walk, are the Treasury, through the vaults of which many people en- Joy going and seeing millions of money; the White House, where every one can go and shake hands with the ruler of 70,000.000 people (quite an inducement, judging from the number who daily visit the White fiouse;) the War, State and Navy department, a costly granite pile; the museum of hygiene adjoining the Navy de meut, containing many things of interest to sanitarians, having the largest library on such subjects, and quite a collection of heating ventilating. plumbing and mortuary devices— the best collection im the country of the kind.

A desperate and bloody prize fight with two- ounce bard gloves between Louis Bezenah of Covington, Ky., and Tom Comer of Cincinnati, was fought festerday about five miles from Dayton, Ohio. Seventeen rounds were fought, and, finaily, Bezenah was declared the winner, although he is injured internally and is ina! very serious condition. Comer was knocked down eight time and shows horrible punish- | ment, but he was full of grit throughout the mill. He is but eighteen years of age and | weighs 126 pounds. Bezenah is twenty three | and is 11 pounds heavier. The affair was wit- nessed by about 100 choice spirits, mostly Cin- cinnatians. PDE SPIES = Scie Mee Asbury Park Has a Scandal. Application has been filed at Asbury Park, N. J., for divorce by Samuel Patterson, a lawyer, against his wife, Julia Patterson, Mr. Patter- son was married only three years ago. There DEMPSEY IS VERY SORE. He Begs for Another Fight—The Blow That Knocked Him Out. After the decision of the referee in favor of La Bianche in the fight between him and Jack Dempsey in San Francisco Friday night, as s00n as he could get his senses Dempsey stag- gered into La Blanche’s corner, fell upon the victor’s neck, and asked imploringly: ‘You'll give me another fight, won't you?” Upon re- ceiving an assent he tottered over to one of the directors of the club, repeating: “He'll give me another fight, he'll give me another fight; you hear it, he'll give me another fight,” and seemed to recover his equilibrium when he was sure of a returm battle, and went over again and shook hands with the winner. Both principals retired to their dressing rooms at the close of the fight. La Blanche said to a group of friends: “They call it a chance blow, but I nad things all right, anyhow. I was not punished and not dis- tressed, I was also as strong ashe. He asked for a return battle and I have agreed to give it tohim. I feel about as as amen pen does when he wins €5, Thave fought all my life for what I have won. Am I better than when I was licked by him before? Well, I haven't been fooling around all this time not to learn aang have I? I determined after that defeat that I wouldnever rest until I wiped it out, and last night I wiped it out, and it was about the happiest night of my life.” Dem; took his defeat sorely. When he reached his dressing room he fell upon a lo: in one corner and sat gazing at the floor. nose was double its usual size and of a mixed blue and red tint. Asa physician stepped for- ward to make an examination of the fallen champion he gave no of having seen him. Dempsey shook his head mournfully and said: “He will never give me another show. I asked him if he would and he said ‘yes,’ but Iam afraid he will never let me have another go.” “You were not down ten seconds. You were on the ropes in seven seconds. It wasn't fair,” broke in Denny Costigan, his trainer. ‘ “Don’t say that, Denny,” Sepa replied. “The judges said it was eight and it must be 80. I was in such good condition, too.” “You're still middleweight champion, Jack, and you'll get plenty of fights,” remarked young Mitchell. “What's the championship?” replied Demp- sey. “It meant $5,000 to me, and, then, I’ve gone down, They'll never give me another match.” “Yes, we will,” replied Mitchell, vigorously. This seemed to rouse the former champion. “Get me another fight. Bother the cham- pionship. Any weight at all, only give me another. had the fight in hand, and was making it a waiting one.

At Norfolk, Va., cables were received yester- day announcing that the English courts have ordered that the insurance upon the British steamship Kimberly and her cargo of cotton and corn must be paid. This cargo was the largest ever shipped from New Orleans, The Kimberly was beached below Cape Henry last fall, and was ashore for a considerable time Her cargo was saved in a damaged condition, and the vessel floated by the er Salvay company of Norfolk and towed to New York. Since April she has been lying in the Erie basin navy yard. She-was owned by a Mr. Hamilton of Port Glasgow, and heavily insured in Brit- ish companies. Hamilton claimed that the ves- sel was badly strained by getting her off below Norfolk and refused to accept her. The insur- ance companies demurred to this. Hamilton's wife brought suit to revover the amount of in- surance, and won on ores point in the suit. Probable Sale of a Richmond Rallread. Negotiations are pending for the sale of the horse car line in Richmond, Va., running from the exposition building down Marshall street to Mayo’s bridge to Ware B. Gay of Boston and as- sociates. Mr. Gay recently bought Mayo's bridge. He intends to extend the car line across the bridge and up into Manchester and equip it with the electric motor. The length of the line is now about three miles. When finished it will be nearly five miles long. The West Virginia Count. ATerra Alta (W. Va.) dispatch says: “The gubernatorial contest committee started Tues- day afternoon to decide the contested votes in Mercer and McDowell counties, Seven repub- lican votes were rejected out of nine passed upon, There are about twe hundred and fifty | votes in these counties similar to thoserejected, ; and it is probable t the whole number in them will be thrown out. The evidence in these cases developed the fact that those voters, all colored, came from Virginia and North Carolina, and worked in this state less than a year, many of them having been in the state only a few months, and many others having been registered as voters in Virginia during the year, and working in Pocahontas county, Va., in the coal mines. The committee will com- plete these counties during the week.” Mary Donnelly Likely to Recover. Mrs. Mary Donnelly, the nurse who was stabbed, it is charged, by Mrs, Robert Ray Hamilton at Atlantic City, N. J., rested quietly yesterday, and the physician attending her says her ultimate recovery is assured, provided no new complication arises. Mr. Hamilton was in close consultation with his lawyer the greater part of the morning. The attorney eaid in the afternoon that the favorable con- | dition of the nurse would lead him to seek to have Mrs. Hamilton released on bail. Mrs, Hamilton's first night in prison was | passed in the attic part of she sheriff's resi- ence, where she will be coufiued uutil court | convenes or the nurse is convalescent and bail | | ix accepted. There is much speculation as to the amount of bail that would be required, but no one doubts that it would be immediately furnished, whatever the amount.

A monster procession left the West India docks, London, yesterday afternoon, which was swelled as it progressed by contingents of iron workers, carters and cutters from Millwall. A steamer which had been loaded by stewards and clerks from the office of the consignees, sailed yesterday for New Zealand, Other ship- ping houses are taking similar action. The clerks, however, are disposed to object, and are considering the question of striking. The men at Hirsch’s Copenhagen oil mills and at Johnson Brothers white-lead mills have struck. A delegation of wharfingers and granary owners held a conference with the directors of the dock company yesterday. The latter dis- countenanced the disposition evidenced by the wharfingers to agree tothe men’s demands, thereby forcing the hands of the directors when a collapse of the strike was imminent. The delegates from the coal heaver: id the coal exchange in the afternoon and ad- mitted that they had no grievances of their own, but had struck on principal, and would not resume work until the demand of the dock- men had been granted. The merchants pointed out the injustice of this position, but to no effect. It is rumored that Mr, Norwood, chair- man of the joint docks committee, has re- signed. The tea trade is pressing upon the dock companies the advisability of settling with the strikers and their overtures seem to be received favorably, Mr. Burns declares that if the dock companies do not yield a com- act will be made with the wharfingers to un- oad ships in midstream, I is said that 10,000 of Lord Durham's miners are idle by reason of the London strike. At midnight it was stated that the strike of the coal porters was practically ended, and they would resume work today, the merchants having conceded the main demands of the strikers. At a meeting of the dockmen last night Mr. Burnes an- nouriced the receipt of checks from New York and Hamburg. Le also announced that the Southampton stevedores had offered to strike if necessary, The Wholesale tea dealers’ association has resolved, unless the strike be ended today, to obtain the delivery of tea without recourse to the docks, by an arrangement with wharfingers, The Glasgow dock men have formally de- manded an advance of wages, coe Bay Rivoe, Gueat Weex.—On Tuesday, Wed- nesday, Thursday and Friday, August 27, 28, 29 and 30, the great Anne Arundel County agri- cultural fair will be beld at Bay Ridge.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of emploving, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWKR- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to print each day « full Feport of every transaction of public ine terest occurring in the District up to the very hour of going to press. 30: By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES: for REGULAR AND SPECIAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every aflernoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHLRE for the entire day, and up to 12 o'clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Kurope, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. —:0:——_. Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the pubiication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic or- respondents at all important points; ind with wires leading directly from its wa office to the general network of telegroh system touching every city, town ad hamlet in the United States and Teri- tories, it is enabled to receive and priat atonce a full report of every event £ comsequence occurring during the dy anywhere between the Atiantic and Ps citic Oceans. —:0: — @ NOTE THE RESULT: 29 —_—o—— THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIGERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THB SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVEKY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else, Asan ADVEKTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSU- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL, It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGE1 HER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST iN THE CITY, aba In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIQG; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —:0:—— © The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fige ures given below.
