Worlds Fair Matters.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-At to-day's meeting of
the executive committee of the Worlds
fair national commission, Harris, of Vir-
GINA, offered resolution, which he asked
be referred to a conference committee of
the commission and local directory, direct
ing that committee to consider the advis-
ability of appointing a joint conference
committee Of the two bodies to act perman-
emily with relation to subjects in which
both bodies are interested. If this propo-
sition is adopted, it will result in the crea-
ton of a body representing both boards,
which would probably be in almost contin-
ual session IN this city, and would exercise
supervision over all practical administra-
ton of exposition affairs.
The director general has submitted re-
port, urging the adoption of a system of
bureaus for the administration of the
work of the exposition. He announced
| the appointment of General f. H Arm
strong as his assistant to be sent to the
different states to assist in organizations.
| A subcommittee of the committee on
classification submitted report, review
| ing the entire work of the committee and
making an estimate of the number Of
acres, floor space and uncovered ground
required for the various displays as fol-
| lows: Agricultural hall, fifteen acres; hor-
ticultural hall, five acres, without.
outside space, twenty-fve; live
stock, one hundred acres; no esti-
mate of the buildings, fishes two
acres; mineral palace, five; machinery
hall, twenty transportation, twenty, be-
sides open space; electrical palace, four;
manufacturers palace, twenty; fine arts
gallery, five. The space to be occupied by
federal buildings and those of foreign and
state governments and special and private
exhibitors are not included in these esti-
mates.
Professor Blake's report gave system
of classification substantially the same as
that temporarily adopted few nights ago,
except that he reposes a separate depart
ment for transportation, railways, vessels,
and vehicles, and also a separate depart
ment, entitled technology, archaeology and
the progress of labor and invention" The
matter of a separate department for
Emusic and the DRAMA" he leaves for the
commission to discuss.

Trouble in the U. P. Denver Switch Yards.

DENVER, Colo. Oct. 90 Special telegram
to THE HERALD. Although the strike of
the Union Pacific switchmen has been
practically ended by the employment OF
new men, slight progress is made daily in
clearing the freight yards from its inextri
cable mass of cars which have accumu-
lated and which the new men seem incom-
petent to handle. The Rio Grande road,
among Union Pacific connections, is prob
ably the worst sufferer by this state of af-
fairs, as its tracks are crowded with cars
awaiting transfer. 1t is also known that
Tor 200 miles distant the side tracks of the
RIO Grande are filed with loaded cars
awaiting transfer to the Union Pacific,
while the Burlington road is promptly TAX
ing ali freight consigned to their line. The
Rio Graade officials are feeling the situa-
ton keenly and fear this embargo on traffic
will materially affect their monthly earn
ings, although its cause is beyond their
control.

BLOOD IN HIS EYE.
Freddy Gerhard is Said to be serewing His
Courage up to the Sticking Point.

[Specialto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.l
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-It is no secret
among uptown clubmen and FOUNDERS gen
orally that Mr.. Gerhard has for long
while beenengaged in the task of newing
himself up to undertake an encounter with
the gentleman who first stepped in be-
tween him and the Lily. Every one is
familiar with the empity which has existed
between Porter Ashe, of California, and
Mr.. Gebhard, of New York A few weeks
ago Mr.. Ashe came TO New York to attend
the races. One night when he was in the
Lambs club the San Franciscan
raised his eyes and discovered Gerhard
glaring at him by means of the reflection of
the mirror on the mantel piece; Gerhard
was standing in the doorway and was
backed by Mr.. Ellison and one or two
familiar friends. The two men looked at
each other very fxedly for long while.
loungers in the club watched the two star
ing visitors with great interest. In the end
Mr.. Ashe looked his rival down and Geb

the club. A few days after this lots OF
stories were told about the number OF
threats Gerhard had made concerning the
pugilistic programme at which he had
decided upon, in which Mr.. Ashe was 10

Gerhard went into training, and he

MIR. MORTON WHO KEEPS A HOTEL.
The Trials and Tribulations that the Shoreham
Causes the Vice-President.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-In spite of his
protestations against the way in which the
management is running the Shoreham
apartment hotel in this city, Vice-President
Morton persists in enacting the role of Bon
iface for his guests, and also in drumming
up trade for his hotel whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself.
The President is in constant receipt
of complaints by mail at his Rhinebeck
home, and he finds that the ownership of a
fashionable hotel is not without disagree
able features. Shortly after the Shoreham
was opened to the public, a proposition was
made to him that he should resign control
OF the house and receive compensation
equivalent to per cent. on his investment
and outlay. This he declined to do, but
rumor says he now wishes he had assented.
The liquor question also continues to
make trouble at the Shoreham. Since Mr..
Morton's order to discontinue the sale of
liquor at retail in the cafe the revenues of
the establishment have decreased greatly
and even political and real estate agents
VINO advised Mr.. Morton to issue the
order fail to see the benefits which it was
supposed would flow 1t. To be sure, per
sons who sit at the dining tables can obtain
bottles of spirituous refreshment with ease,
but the deficit arising from prohibition by
the glass Is not thereby counterbalanced,
nor are the patrons of the house any better
satisfied with the present arrangement than
they were when it was first put in opera
| ton. Interesting developments are ex-
pected when the time comes for a renewal
OF their leases by many OF the occupants Of
the Shoreham.

The Race Problem in Mississippi.

JACKSON, Miss, Oct 20.-The supple
mental report of the legislative committee
relating to the state boundaries was taken
up for consideration this morning. The
second and last section thereof reads as
follows:
''The legislature shall have power to con-
sent to the acquisition of additional terri
tory by this state and to make the same a
part thereof, the creation of another state
or territory to be formed in whole or part
out Of portion Of this state whenever
the consent of the Congress of the United
States shall be given thereto. And the
legislature may solve disputed boundaries
between this state and its conterminous
states whenever such disputes arise"
This is regarded by the delegates from
the black counties as an intimation that the
white counties may at some future time
make an attempt to secede from the black
counties and leave them to struggle alone
with the race problem.

Gladstone,s Scotch Tour.

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 2O.-Gladstone left on
his tour of Scotland this morning. AT the
railway station at Wigan the crowds
shouted they did not want him to make a
speech, but to reserve his voice to speak in
Midlothian and demolish the Tories. Glad
stone nevertheless made a short speach in
which he said Midlothian knew what to do of
itself and nothing was left for him to do.
He was heartily received along the entire
route. At Carlisle he said he had no fear
for Scotland and hoped England wauld do
as well in the home rule movement.
When Gladstone reached Edinburgh he
received large number of Scottish politi-
clans. There was large crowd at the

BOulangism in Canada.

OTTAWA, Oct. 20.-The Patris, of Mon
treal, declares Count Dillon is here to pre-
pare another Boulangist stroke. Count
Dillon is credited with saying he is in daily
communication with the son of the million
aire duchess who found the money to run
the Boulangist machine. Many believe he
is to agitate among the French Canadians
for the establishment of French republic
in Canada with Boulanger at its head.
Several papers profess to know that the
counts object is the acquisition of land for
Boulangists IN British Columbia; another
is for promoting the emigration OF
Frenchmen to Quebec. Still another Is

from Monsiguor Granden and the &c
clesiastlcs of Quebec and sanctioned pre-
sumably by the members of federal cabi

Architect A. b. Mullett Suicides.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20-A. b. Mullett,
one of the best known architects in this
city, and for years supervising architect of
the treasury department, shot and killed
himself this evening at MS residence. He
has been in poor health for long time,
suffering from rheumatism and other COM
plants, but it is thought financial trouble
was the chief cause of his act.
DIR. P. j. Murphy, the surgeon in charge
of Columbia hospital, who for many years
has been Mullett's family physician made
statement OF the circumstances of the
shooting, substantially as follows About
D O'Clock he called at the house to see Mrs.
Mullett, who was slightly indisposed. After
prescribing for Mrs. Mullett the doctor
took his leave and went TO his office, Just
across the street. He had been there but
short time when a son of MIR. Mullett
came running over and asked him to come
to the house Immediately. He hurried back
IN response to the summons and found
Mullett lying across the bed in mis- sleeping
apartments, and partially disrobed. He
was unconscious, and bleeding profusely.
The doctor made hasty examination and
found the blood came from wound about
two inches above the right ear. The dying
man gave three or four gasps and expired
within seven minutes after the wound had
been inflicted. When the doctor first en-
tered the room he found Mrs. Mullett lying
| by the side of the body of her wounded
husband, weeping bitterly, with her arms
thrown around his neck. The doctor re-
moved her gently from the room and Tn en-
gavehis attention TO her husband Later
in the evening the coroner was summoned,
and after an examination of the body gave
a verdict of death from suicide, due to mel
ancholy. Mr.. Mullett was SO years old,
and very well known. He designed many
of the public buildings that have
been erected in different cities.
