WASIIIXOTOX, March was another lively meeting of the world's fair committee yesterday. Messrs.

Frank (Mo.) and Bowden (Va.) were absent from tho city, and Mr. Wilson (W. Va.) was engaged in the ballot-box investigation. As a consequence, Chicago temporarily lost two members favorable to her and the committee was tied up so as to be unable to achieve any positive progress. The fifth section of the bill was the first matter under discussion.

To this section Mr. Belden (N. last Saturday offered an amendment requiring a positive guarantee by the citizens of Chicago of a $10,000,000 fund. It soon became evident that the committee was equally divided on this proposition, so it Avas passed over for the time. When section (which leaves blank the date for holding tho fair) was reached, Chairman Candler proposed to fill in the blanks so as to provide for the dedication and celebration October 12, 1892, and for the holding of the fair in 1893.

The Chicago members had all along'declared that they were prepared to accept the views of the committee on this point, although personally they felt that in justice to the foreign exhibitors and in view of the delay on the part of Congress in acting upon the subject, it would be better to hold tho in 1893. Therefore, when the question was put on Mr. Candlers motion, they refrained from voting, and the chairman found himself alone in voting for the motion, and it was lost. Thereupon the dates were filled in so as to require the fair to be opened April 550,1802, and closed October 20 of tho same year. The entire bill was then read over and agreed upon, excepting section 5, which will bo acted upon at another meeting to be held to-day when it is hoped a full attendance will be had.

It is probable that if tho Chicago men go there in force then, they will make an effort to reverse the action of yesterday fixing the date for holding the fair. CROSSED THE DARK RIVER. Death of J.

March William wrote a letter to the Pope informing him that Bishop Kopp, of ISreslau, had been appointed one of the German delegates to tho labor conference, and declaring that he relied upon the support of the Catholic clergy in settling the social question. The Pope, in reply to the.

letter, thanked His Majesty for the appointment of Bishop Kopp, and indicated that himself and the church had always been interested in the question which, he said, would be best solved by the application of the Christian principles of Sunday rest and religious education. although he had practiced law in 'Maine, his native State, some years before. He prac- Wticedhis profession here for -ten years, but was of a too progressive nature j. YOUNf; SCAMMON. to confine his energies strictly to the law and soon assumed a prominent part in developing the city.

With W. B. Ogden he was succesful in completing the Chicago Galena Union railroad, and these gentlemen made themselves pioneers of the present railway system of the Northwest. During this period, Mr. Scammon also took an active part in the political arena, and was one of the founders of the Republican party.

Ho then engaged in the banking business, forming the Marine bank, which was the first in Chicago under the general banking law, was a director of the State Bank of Illinois, and a promoter of the Mechanics' National Bank. He founded the Chicago Fire and Marine Insurance company. Ho helped to establish the Tribune, Evening Journal and Inter Ocean. He was one of the first stockholders in the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railway. He founded, built and presented to the city the Hahnemann Hospital.

He built the Dearborn Observatory, and for a long timepnid the salary of the superintendent. In 1857 Mr. Scammon retired from active business, having acquired large property possessions outside of his regular commercial interests. He then visited Europe and remained there three years, and while abroad his wife died. He returned to Chicago in I860 and found his Insurance company threatened with financial disaster and its affairs in very bad shape.

He opened a private bank and closed up the affairs of the old institutions. The fire in 1871 destroyed all the building property he hud. and his loss at that time was estimated at SxiOO.OOQ. By he was in fair condition to repair his financial standing, but the panic of that year involved him still further. His energy was again displayed to a remarkable degree, so much so that he died possessed of a comfortable share of this world's HE WAS 151 YEARS OLD.

His skin was yellow and drawn like that of a mummy and his bones seemed starting through it. Yet he was vigorous and active until last when his birthday was celebrated! The excitement of this anniversary had a bad effect on him and he declined visibly. He could remember distinctly events of more than a century ago. including tho founding of Carmel mission, near Monterey, and the setting up of tho cross by PorLala. The record of his birth is i-u the mission at Monterey.

THE BOOMERS MUST GO.

WASHINGTON, March General Kelton has telegraphed General Merritt at Fort Leaven wo i-th, to use troops if necessary, and with prudence as heretofore, to enforce the proclamation issued by the President relative to intruders upon the Cherokee strip lands. This order is sent by direction of the Secretary of War. GUTUWK, Ind.T., March President's proclamation ordering all settlers on the Cherokee strip to vacate is already having the desired effect This, together with the orders received by General Merritt at Fort Leavenworth to use troops if necessary to eject the boomers, has already caused considerable of an exodus from the forbidden territory. All day long the trains loaded down with boomers leaving the strip. A large number of them went to Arkansay City, and about 100 came to this point.

Many poor people who flocked to the Cherokee strip under the impression that it was open to settlement have not the means to return and remain there until the troops escort them out. General Merritt has ordered six troops of cavalry to proceed to the Cherokee strip and oust the boomers there. It is learned that General Merritt has given instructions for the troops to give the settlers ample time to vacate before resorting to forcible measures- Under no circumstances will such measures be taken unless the boomers, after being given full opportunity to vacate, refuse to leave. In any case the movement on the boomers will not be hasty. A day or two will probably elapse after.

the arrival of the troops at Guthrie before the march to the strip is taken up. Speaking of tho situation Lieutenant Dodge said: "I am convinced that a large number of the boomers now located upon the strip will vacate voluntarily when they learn the conditions. A few, however, will remain until ordered out by the military. It can be authoritatively stated that, should troops be called out. they will be located in the southern part of tin; strip, where they can make effective patrol." ARKANSAS CITY, March The cattlemen here did not receive tho news o'f the President's proclamation ordering the invading settlers oil the strip with much interest.

To them it was like locking the door after the horse was stolen. The settlers seemed to think that the easiest, way to gain possession of the strip was to drive the cattlemen off. and the easiest way to do that was to fire the prairies, and fire the prairies they did. From Ponca, Willow Springs, Nyceville and other settlements in the outlet comes the news of burning prairies. It seems to have been generally agreed upon that the first thing for the settlers to do was to start a prairio lire, and much of the strip has been burned over.

These prairie fires served a double purpose. They drove most of tho cattle before them and also destroyed the fodder which those remaining might have lived upon. Therefore the cattlemen arc naturally depressed over the gloomy prospects. Said Mr. Flowins, of the Cherokee Strip Cattle Company: "What, the can do in tbcir present condition can not even be conjectured.

Our fences have been cut, our cattle scattered to the four corners of the strip, anil every blade of fO-ass on the ransc destroyed by prniric tires. There now, or valhcr there were before the invasion, about 80,000 head of cattle on strip. I do not believe, that the most energetic action on tho part of the cattlemen and the Government can stive them from irreparable losy. The damage is already done. The cuttle can not be They am not in marketable condition.

If left in the strip they will starve to death, for there Is iioibing for them to eat there, and we can not ship provender to them, it. would be a losing investmeut. So there we head of rattle good for nothing but hides. Rluc and bone dust." Ira Hurnctt, a large cattle-owner, near hero, has returned from an extended trip over his range, and reports that no cattle have been' killed by lire or boomers. lie estimates the number of acres burned over to be at least 100,000, but that enough remains to feed the cattle until new grass sprouts.

Durnett also reported colonists on their way out of the strip in great numbers, and was of the opinion that but few would be left for the military to displace.

This means 1,800 homesteads transferred from the hands of so many industrious families to the bands of capitalists, either domestic or foreign.
