INDIRECT BENEFITS.

General Groner is opposed to the opinion
OF some of the Chicago people that the
fair should be made financially successful
as test Of its usefulness, and insists that
the objects should be to make it success
as an exposition. relying upon indirect,
rather than direct benefits in the way OF
profit.
Secretary Window has issued o circu-
lar to customs officers in regard to the free
entry OF articles designed for exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. He says:
"All articles which shall be imported
from foreign countries for the sole pur-
pose Of exhibition at said exposition. upon
which there shall be tariff or custom
duty, shall be admitted free of payment of
duty, custom fees, or charges under such
regulations as the Secretary of the Trea-
sury shall prescribe: but II shall be lawful
at any time during the exhibition TO sell
for delivery at the close OF tho exposition
any goods or property imported for and
actually on exhibition in the exposition
buildings OF on its grounds, subject to
such regulations for the security Of the
revenue and for the collection OF the i'm
port duties 40 the Secretary OF the Trea-
sury shall prescribe"

TRANSPORTATION TO THE FAIR
General Groner Reports that the Carriers
Are Graciouo.

General V. d. Groner. of Norfolk, w.,
chairman of the Committee on Iranspor-
tation for the Columbian Exposition. was
IN Washington Wednesday on his way to
Norfolk. He reports that he has made sub
stantial progress in securing assurances
of favorable rates and arrangements for
the conveyance of persons and exhibits
TO the fair at Chicago. Having first
consulted tho American lines of steam
ships in New York, he has obtained from
several of them the promise that they Will
convey free Of charge TO any OF the South
American countries the agents of the Gov
eminent to be sent out to stimulate inter-
est in the exposition. In addition to this
he has obtained from the steamship CON-
panies assurances that they VIII carry
goods intended for the exposition at the
cost of handling them with some arrange
ment for the payment of freight on ex-
hibits sold at the fair.
Then the steamship companies say that
they will be ready when the fair is about
10 open to make a rate for visitors to the
fsit that will barely cover the. cost OF
meals during the trip and something addi-
tional to maintain the vessels for the COM
fort of the passengers. General Groner
SAYS that the inducements will be such
that South Americans will find It cheaper
20 come to the fair than TO stay at home
while 1t IS IN operation.
LIBERAL RATES.
While the railroad companies in the
United States have done nothing as yet
toward establishing special rates calculated
to induce travel to and FROM Chicago du-
ring the fair, General Groner says that they
are disposed to be very liberal and enter
prising, and that they will find 1t possible
under the amended section y of the inter-
state commerce act 10 permit free trans
portation to persons in charge OF exhibits
TOR the fair both going and coming, and
that they will arrange excursion rates at
very low figures
General Groner has made calculation OF
the number of persons that can be moved
from Chicago in day and finds that 1t Is
81, 900, and be says that with the improve
ments contemplated, and which will be
made, it will be possible TO move 100, 600 in
day with the greatest smoothness. Gene
raj Groner will maintain his headquarters
at Norfolk for year. and will then change
them il occasion seems to require that he
should be nearer Chicago. The foreign
steamship lines will probably cooperate
with the American in making rates to all
exhibitors and visitors 10 the fair.

Iowa CITY, May 27.-There is tremen-

which occurred when the university

Keep quiet, and with his club struck

the worst of 1t but for gang of saloon

men Results In the Loss of His
Own.
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo, May 27.-A
terrible accident occurred at the Little
Corporal mine, near this place, by which
three men-William Barklie, John
Dierks and B. Benson-lost their lives.
Their deaths resulted from foul air. 1t
appears that drift has been driven in
the main shaft and raise was made
from the drift to intersect an old incline
above. This incline has been known to
have bad air for some time. It is sup
posed that when the break was made
through the men were at once overcome
with the rush of foul air and killed.
Benson's Heroic Sacrifice.
Dierks and Elmer Miller were found
by Benson in the top of the raise, both
insensible, and he carried Miller and re-
turned for Dierks, only to pay the for
felt of his own life for his singular
bravery. Barklie's body was reached
five hours later. Barklie and Dierk have
both been recently married. Miller re-
covered shortly after being taken out.
