The story Of the second day 10 short ono.
The rain made a perfect failure Of what every
one expected would be the most sucoesstul
second day of the fair ever held. Nothing IN
the program came of except the trot before
mentioned and the address by Gen. Grout
which was delivered late in the afternoon.
The storm having nba,el somewhat, few
hundred people gathered about the hall and
listened to the address with marked atten-
tion. At the conclusion vote Of thanks WAS
rendered the speaker, and he was loudly APP
plauded. HIS address was favorably com
mented upon by all who heard IT, 1t was
full Of ideas. Our brief abstract given be-
low comes far short of doing it justice.

The Republican Senators, after sew
eral caucus meetings, decided upon a
policy. They resolved that the action
of the Attorney-General in refusing to
furnish information regarding remov-
ais from Office is in violation of his
official duties and reprehensible; that
whore the Senate has called upon the
heads of departments for information
regarding removals from office, and
Che information is not furnished, as
requested, the Senate will not confirm
the appointee; and that the disregard
Of law which requires that in selec-
Cons for office preference should be

Chinese authorities interpret thei,
own laws. They have not, as far a
Is known, sought his advice on the
subject, and while Count Ito is douot-
less grateful for the unsolicited coun-
sel OF the American Secretary of
State, he possibly considers himself
competent to manage the business of
Japan, even If he had been SO unfort-
unate as to receive no officious warn
fngs from Washington. The Japa-
nese arrested Calvin Pratt on the
broad principle that no country should
allow itself to be made an asylum for
criminals. The same principle has
led them to arrest Ang Tia Duck.
The only power which might CON-
plain of the arrest is China, and it has
not done SO. On the contrary, the
Chinese Consul General at this port
has assisted the police in the chase Of
the murderer by every means in his
power. On Saturday he telegraphed
the Chinese Minister at Toxic beg
ging him to throw no obstacles in the
way of the extradition of the assassin.
