TROUBLE OVER LINE OF MARCH.
The Exposition Will Be Closed on Sun
day-Meetins OF the National Com
mission and the Lady Managers.

De held III the heart Of the city, where
the people generally could see it. A reso.
luton to this effect was presented, but re-
ceiving opposition as being an imputation
upon Gen. Miles, in charge of the parade
the matter was laid on the table. Mr..
Allen, of the committee on ceremonies,
said the desire of the commission would
be considered. and that a military parade
through the streets would be prepared il
possible.
The board Of lady managers also held a
meeting today. After some preliminaries
Mrs. Potter Palmer reported. declaring
that the work Of the board was progressing
satisfactorily. Mrs Palmer said the board
had encountered great difficulty in enlist
ing the cooperation of the women of for
egn countries, especially in the far East.
where the only result of their efforts was an
lntimation that women were not al lowed
TO NEEDLE with such affairs, and, even if
allowed, had not sufficient knowledge
to undertake the work with intel
Hgence. It was announced that the
board had invited proposition for
publication Of newspaper to be sold on
the fair grounds, to be edited and printed
by women and devoted to their interests.
Reso utions of coincidence with President
Harrison were passed. and after hearing a
number of interesting and satisfactory re-
ports the board adjourned.
Vice-President Morton and party and
ex-President Hayes and party arrived here
this morning to participate in the Worlds
far dedicatory ceremonies. They were es-
corted to the hotels by the Worlds fair
people. Almost every incoming train
brought pilgrims of more or less distinc-
ton to be present at the imposing cere-
monies. Governors with their stats, mil
itary companies, Federal and state con-
gressmen and judges are included in the
list. Among the governors were Mark
ham, of California, and Routt, of Colo
RADIO.
Those who go TO the dedicatory exercises
on October II will see stru ctures entirely
different from the ones that will greet
those when the exposition gates are opened
next May. Some of the buildings are in
condition now that almost warrants the
use Of the word finished" in speaking of
them. All that remains to be done
on these is the decoration work on the in
side and some rougher work around the
buildings, such as grading and landscape
touches. This is particularly true Of the
woman's building. which, planned by a
woman architect about the time the main
buildings were designed, was almost lin
isheo before some of the others were be-
gun. The mines building wants only in
terror and exterior decoration to be classed
as completed. Horticulture hall and the
transportation building are also nearly
done, but each will furnish enough work
in the way of laying floors and other in
terror details to keep large number of
iaborers busy for weeks Electricity hall
looks naked in many places. Much ex-
terror covering is yet to be put on. and
when that is done tiuishers can work for
weeks in getting tie interior in shape.
Fisheries building is practically finished,
but Machinery hall lags. A thousand
men. working day and night, would
hardly be able to put it in the condition
buildings are supposed to be in when for
mally dedicated. Agriculture hall is much
farther along and artists are painting rich
panels in its recesses. Administration
building will be in the hands Of carpenters
and laborers for several months. Manu-
facturers' hall, in which the exercises are
10 be held. has been rushed towards its
present condition at a tremendous rate.

that 1000 men were employed on the
buildings in various lines of work
for nearly three months. The build
ing Is now entirely under roof
and the outside scafiolding, that gave Il. a
ragged and unfinished appearance. has
been removed. The seats are all in place,
and 10000 will find room there. The
schools OF the city, public and private.
close today, and will remain closed until
next Monday. The demand for seats and
windows along the line of the great parade
of October Il is unprecedented. and ire
mendous prices are being offered.
Vice President Morton, accompanied bv
Miss Morton and Mrs. Redmond, arrived
on the same train with ex- President HAYES
and daughter. Mr.. Morton received
an enthusiastic reception. The vice
presidential party were driven to
the residence Of President Hig-
ginbotham. of the Worlds fair.
and exPresideat Hayes was escorted to the
Grand Pacific. Military officers are to be
seen everywhere. ana the United States
