the Senate TO adopt rule which will
prevent Senator Hoar from performing
the name operation on the bill to regu-

rectors for Site.
SCHIcAGo, July 23.-Amid great cheer
ing about 1880 p. m. tonight, the ordi-
nance asked by the directors of the
worlds fair granting the use of the lake
front as part site for the exposition
was adopted by the city council without
any amendments. The vote stood A to
Is. The ordinance pledges the city of
Chicago to pay for any piling or
filling-in of the lake that may be re-
quired, to the extent of S2,Oo0.O0O, and
after the fair is ended returns the made
ground to the city to be used forever as
a public park. Not less than $50 acres
of the lake front are to be utilized for
worlds fair purposes. It is stipulated
that no bargain of any sort is to be en-
tered into between the fair directors
and the Illinois Central railroad for the
control of that portion of the lake front
occupied by the Illinois Central
tracks unless such bargain shall
be firstapproved by the city council. In
case the city of Chicago loans or SUBJ
scribes 100000 to the stock of the eX-
position, the directors guarantee that
the amount of money returned to the
city shall not be less than the cost of
whatever piling and filling-in OF the
lake may be done. The ordinance does
not fix any maximum number of acres
to. be utilized of the lake front.
but the greatest amount obtaina-
BILE by any of the plans thus

ASHLAND. Wis, July 29.-The back
bone of the great lumber mill hands
strike is broken. For the past two days
medlators between the parties in inter-

endeavors to effect some settlement, and
it appears that they have been success
full. Merchants of this city, lumber con-
tractors and others, who have seen that
prolonged strike would mean hard
times and poverty for some, brought
great pressure to bear on both sides to
settle their differences as speedily as
possible. The great difficulty so far
has been the unpOpularity of the leaders
of the strike, and mill owners refused
to confer except with the men person.

selves in the endeavOr to arrange mat
tiers finally succeeded i'll etfectlng

committee of the mill mems union
caused to be served on all mill owners
the following notice. which will explain
the whole plan Of settlement:
Whereas, We understand that all are agreed
that hours of labor hereafter should be ten
hours per day, Now, therefore, you are
hereby notified that your day crews will be

meet you there to settle Individually as to
wages, aud we hope you will receive this no
tice in the spirit in which it is seryed-that of
friendship and good faith and in the mutual
interests of all.
Part of the mill force at Durfee'S
started to work to-day and fires will be
started at Sutherland's tomorrow.
Every one is rejoicing over the settle

fronted the city. Some 1900 men were
directly interested in Ashland alone and
