To Advertisers, Owing to pressure of news and the increasing circulation of Tue Star, compelling its forms to be put upon the presses promptly at the re- quired hour, and also to make proper classifica- tion of matter, it is absolutely necessary that all advertisements shall be received at the business office earlier in the day than formerly. Ite advertising patrons are therefore requested to send in all changes of matter before 11 o'clock a.m., and all new matter before 12 o'clock m., and as much earlier than those hours as possible, Copy received earliest will have preference, al- ways, and that coming in after the hours named cannot have assurance of insertion until the next day. —————————E Goversment Receipts Topay.—Internal revenue, $435,458; customs, $763,302, Topay's Boxy OFFExiNas aggregated $62,150 as follows: Coupon 4 per cents, $1,000 at 126; registered 4's, $40,150, $5,000, $4,000 at 126, 8,000 at 12634; registered 49's, €4,000at 104%.

Whiting. ‘The Navy department has been infotmed of the death of First Lieut. Henry Whiting, United States marine corps, of pneumonia, in New York on the 8th instant. Lieut, Whiting was well known in Ws where he re- sided for many years with father, Commo- dore Whiting, at one time chief of the of navigation, Navy de) Lieut, Whit- was appointed to in 1874 WHERE TO HOLD THE FAIR. AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL. Washington’s Claims Eloquently| Presented to the Senate Committee. A STRONG ARRAY .OF FACTS Se ee Ably Presented by Commissioner Doug- lass, Secretary Anderson, Myron M. Parker, Major Powell, of This City, and Gen. Agnus, of Baltimore. - Two score of Washingtonians sat where they could in the reception room of the United States Senate this morning and watched half a dozen Senate employes arrange and rearrange chairs and tables so as to accommodate the leg- islators, the newspaper men and the crowd. Ten o’cloek was the hour set for the hearing of those who had been designated to present to Congress the claims of the national capital as the site for the proposed world’s fair; to debate upon the proposition that a national celebra- tion should be held in the only national city in the Union. At 1 Ohairman Hiscock came out of the sergeant-at-arm’s office, followed by several other members of the committee, and after a glance at the crowd before him rapped on the table and called upon the Washington contin- gent to proceed to business, By that time the room was fairly well filled, St. Louis, Chicago and New York being represented. Col. C. H. Jones was present to see that no undue violence was done to Missouri's interests aud Mayor Cregier watched the Chicago end, Seated alongside of the chairman were Sena- tors Sherman, Cameron, Hawley, Colquitt, Wilson (Lowa), Farwell and Daniel. OPENING REMARKS OF COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS. Commissioner John W. Douglass was the first to respond to the chairman's request. He briefly but clearly stated the program for the day; named tho speakers and told the committee what they were going to talk about. After doing this the Commissioner said he desired to assure the committee that the people of the District of Columbia would do everything in their power—financially or otherwise—to make the exposition a success, whether it was held here or elsewhere. Then the Commissioner introduced Alexander D, Anderson, secretary of the national board of promotion. SECRETARY ANDERSON TALKS BUSINESS. Mr. Anderson dived right into business by saying that he represented on this occasion the forty-one states and territories whose gover- nors and other officials were members of the board of promotion. This emphatic statement was followed up by an aggregation of the in- ternational and national associations which have indorsed Washington as the only city in which it would be proper to hold a celebration of Columbus’ great discovery. The bills which had been introduced by the board of promo- tion were then discussed—the one by Senator Faulkner appropriating $15,000,000 out of the treasury, and the other by Senator Gorman, authorizing the District of Columbia to issue $15,000,000 in bonds. Mr, Anderson paid espe cial attention to Mr. Faulkner's -measure, be- cause, he said, there was no question about the ropriety and advisability of the celebration tte thoroughly national in its character; in magnitude it was beyond the Dower or capacity of any individual city. If any change was to be made in the plan it should be to broaden and not localize it. It should be made inter- national by inviting Latin-America, Spain and Italy to participate in its control and manage- ment. WASHINGTON THE CITY OF THE WHOLE CoUNTRY. ‘The national capital was beyond question the proper, the only site. Washington was the city of the nation, of all the states; it was the city of Chicago, of New York and of St. Louis. In fact it was more their city than that of the people who reside in it, for they vote on the government of the District of Columbia; some- thing the people of the District were not al- lowed to do for themselves. ‘The city’s popu- lation was made up of natives of every state and territory in the Union; it was more than any other center of population a national city. Between the other competing cities there were mercantile rivalries and jeal- ousies, Washington had no manufactures, no commerce, and all the cities and all nations could meet here on common ground, free from local disturbances or political complications, ‘THE FOUNDATION FOR THE EXPOSITION ALREADY HERE. Mr. Anderson then went on to show that the foundation—and a very substantial one—for an exposition was here. Already there was a nu- cleus of $50,000,000 around and upon which could be built the great fair, The Capitol, the national museum, the Washington monument, the government departments were all here, and there could be no exposition of the government and its workings in any othercity. The capital was in itsclf an exposition of no mean import- ance. Should the world’s fair be held else- where there would be attempts made to have great quantities of the museum exhibits re- moved from this city during the continuancé of the fair. This would be a great wrong, for just at that time the peo; opie ‘of this country and of foreign lands would be flocking here to see the capital and the rarest treasures in the nation’s collection would be away. This pro» ceeding was most undignified, to deplete the national museum in order that the government might indulge, as it had in other expositions, in the traveling show business, If the fair was located in this city there would be no waste. Whatever buildings were erected would be needed for Sores papeees for alltime. The question was, the expos: tion come to the government or the govern- ment go to the exposition? ‘TRANSIT FACILITIES. Briefly Mr. Anderson touched on the question of siteand showed that there were several available in various parts of this city. Steam and street railroad facilities were discussed and it was shown that with the expenditure of a modest sum there could be a 24-foot channel from the mouth of the Potomac to this city, while there is now ample harbor capacity be- tween Washington and Alexandria, THE CITY'S CAPACITY FOR FEEDING AND SHEL- TERING @ multitude of visitors was then touched upon, and the statement was made that when there were 20,000 Knight Templars here during the conclave and 50.000 visitors. there were, never- theless fully 1,000 rooms uncalled for on the reg- ister of the Templar bur auof information. The hotels would doubtless be needed and they could be built just as rapidly here as they can be in cl , New York or St. Louis. None of those | cities have sufficient hotel facilities now, and they would all be compelled to build. This city would be able to draw on Baltimore for accommodations; a gr crowds should be unexpectedly numerous. The supply would equal the demand. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS EXPECTED. After referring to tae beauty of the city and its historic surroundings—Mount Vernon and various battle ficlds—Mr. Anderson said that there would undoubtedly be a great celebra- tion here in 1892 and that thie ge F igreamgpey | statea that there was enough material ay away in boxes to fill another building as large | as the present one. This movement contem- plates the use of the exposition bnildings for mmuooum: and other purposes when the exposition is over. A new building was alo needed for the oe department, and this, too, could Provided for. Another Pressing necessity was a great hail in which could be held sueh gatherings as an inaugural | ball or great interantional ceremonies too large for the House of Representatives. THEJ CONSTITUTIONAL TEATURES OF THE CASE were debated with brevity but considerable effect. For more than twenty years the gov- ernment had been making appropriations for expositions abroad and surely constitutional to appropriate for an exposition at the national capital as it was to spend money in the capitals of other natious. it was esti- mated that the people of the United States who went abroad last year took | with them and disbursed more than | $200.000,000 in gold, This was a great drain upon the country and a large proportion of it had gone to benefit Paris. Now the pro position should be reversed. Let the outside ey come and see the capital of this nation. there was an immediate necessity for action. The mercantile effect of the Paris exposition ought to be counteracted. At that great fair nearly all the Spanish-American countries were represented and the result was a stimulation of the practical monopoly which Europe has aiways had on the South American trade. A great exposition in this city—the seat of gov- ernment—would Be the most profitable invest ment ever made by the United States, In conclusion Mr. Anderson cailed attention to the neutrality of the territory in which Washington stangs and insisted that here, and | here only, was the place for a national cele- bration. Mr. Anderson's argument was plain and matter of fact, devoid of any attempt at ora- tory, but sincere and forcible. MYRON M. PARKER IRESENTS THE TAX PAYERS MEMORIAL, The next speaker, introduced by Commis- sioner Douglass, was Mr. Myrou M. Parker,who presented the memorial of tax payers. Mr. Parker said that the proposition to hold the fair in Washington met with patriotic res: rages s from the several states of the Union. only during last April that the ter assumed financial About that time New York, and St. Louis began to talk about guarantee funds and it began to look like a bid between these three cities, The question then came up as to how the natioual capital should meet this new aspect of the case. The matter was care- fully considered and it was decided to me- morialize Congress to authorize the issuance of District bonds to the amount of $15,000,000, if it were thought by Congress that this guarantee was necessary. This proposition to raise money by taxation was a substantial proposition. It was an e: matter, he said, for this business firm or that in St. Louis, Chicago and New York to promise certain subscriptions, but what assurance was | there that the money would be forthcoming when needed? The proposition of the national capital was 4 CERTAIN AND TANGIBLE PROPOSITION. He read the memorial to Congress and stated that the understanding had been that before it was presented to Congress the siguatures of a majority of the property holders of the Dis- trict should be had. He would now present to the committee a paper indorsing the proposi- tion signed by citizens representing by their names $75,000,000. MAJOR POWELLS APPEAL. Major Powell, superintendent of the geo- logical survey, made an appeal to the commit- tee for the establishment of the permanent features of the exposition. He said that here- tofore the expositions that had been held ended with the mere demonstration, and the vast wealth of exhibits was scattered and thé ele- mens of permanent good destroyed. What was needed was that there should be a preserva- tion of the rare and valuable collection of ma- terial in such « way that it might be of use to the public, Permanent buildings should be erected for the government pur- poses. The national museum, he snid, was crowded with valuable ' collections and there were further permanent exhibits that should be made. There should be pro- visions made tor an archwological exhibit, a natural history exhibit, a mining exhibit and an exhibit of the inventions of the people of the country, arranged in their historical order, He called’ attention to the fact that not only were all the scientific collections crowded together with mo opportunity for proper arrangement and display for use, but that the government depurtments gencrally were overcrowded and badly ventilated, and that many bureaus were scattered about the city in rented quarters unsuited for their pur- poses, and for which large sums of money were paid annually in rentals without adequate re- turns. MEMORIAL BUILDINGS FOR USE AND NoT sHow. This celebration, ne thought, should be made the occasion for the erection of memorial buildings which would furnish the government with the accommodations necessary. It would be a different thing erecting buiidings at the national capital from putting them elsewhere. Here the buildings were needed by the govern- ment, whether there was a celebration or not, By erectin; og the permanent buildings here now they would serve the double purpose of the exposition and of future utility to the govern- ment. Senator Sherman asked if he thought these buildings could be erected in two years. at Powell replicd that he thought they and procecded to perv done. He said tific branches of the government service had already the plans for the buildings they would need, Each could work independently and finish the buildings in time. He spoke of the new archwological work in this country and of the assistance it would be to us to have the foreign nations bring to us the benefits of their researches and to join them with our own, BALTIMORE'S VOICE. Gen, Agnus, the editor and proprietor of the Baltimore American, was next introduced to the committee, Mr. Agnus said: “I am an ambassador, as it might be, from the city of Baltimore and the state of Maryland. We take wint out how it at the three scien- great interest iu this exposition, so much so that we jac? rather am- bitious to become titors in the race; but looking the Gol. earnestly over we feel thatit must be a national exposition, and that therefore it belongs by right to the national capital, We came to that conclusion after holding a meeting on the 14th of August last of our most prominent citizens, presided over by the governor of the state. Our Sena- tors, members’ of Congress, our wealth, were represented; our enthusiasm was great and our resolutions warm.” He then asked Mr. Anderson to read the resolutions adopted at ee n. these resoiutions I would say that the speeches on that day iaeaen. made your beart feel happy, to to welcome the icans of our sister republics to our soil as they should be welcomed.

THE CHICAGO DELEGATION is as snappy as itcan be; is full of fight and bubbles over with expressions of satisfaction at the way in which things are moving, The Lake- side crowd is considerably elated over the fact that an Illinois man—Representative Hitt—is at the head of the committee on foreign affairs; aim, means @ favorable report for ago bill now before that comuittee. New York, St. Louis and Washington have, how- ever, joined hands to defeat this little plan and it looks as though they were going to succeed, | Their plan was to have Speaker Kved appoint a Special commitice of the House, like that of the Senate, to consider world’s fair bills, The rst attemptin this direction was « failure, but when the committee on rales was given to understand that the bill which would proba- bly be reported by Mr. Hitt would shut out Washington, it concluded that a special com- mittce was the only thing that would just tit the case, Kepreseutative Cannon, as a loyal lilinoisian, fought this conclusion, but he did not upset i The Speaker will probably au- nounce the committee on Mow which militates against Washing New York and St. Louis regard as unfair is the one which provides that Congress shall not be required to make any appropriation for the exposition.
