WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

The United States patent Office will
exhibit at the Worlds fair as complete
collection as possible of the models Of
all the important American patented in
ventions.
The educational exhibit from Wisccn-
sin at the Worlds fair, it is estimated,
Will require 5000 square feet of space,
and application for that amount has
been made.
From California is to be exhibited at
the Worlds fair one of the fur famed
huge redwood trees. The one selected
is 300 feet high and more thhn thirty
feet in diameter at the base.
One of the most interesting exhibits
in the government building at the fair
will be display OF arms, uniforms,
tents and flags in use in the United
States army at various times since 177G.
Baroness Burdett-Coutts, the cele-
brated philanthropist, will cross tho
Atlantic to attend the fair, and will
read an original paper on the sub
ject of women's institutions conducted
by women.
A dispatch from Singapore says that
the sultan of Johore, one of the most
prosperous states in the east, situated in
the western part of the Malay peninsula,
is causing to be prepared for thu Worlds

village.
On the inland waterways, which ira
verse the Worlds fair grounds from one
end to another, there will be plying
three kinds of boats for public use.
Omnibus boats will make regular trips
around the waterways, stopping at each
building, express boats will make round
trips without stopping, while CAB boats,
with carrying capacity of four persons,
may be hailed at any point and engaged
for the trip or by the hour, AS is ham

1t has been explained by Director
General Davis and other Worlds fair
officials, who are inclined to favor Sum

or desire that the fair shall be opened on
Sundays in the wide" way in which 1t
will be on week days. On the contrary.

for the purpose of presenting TO the ad-
miring gaze of visitors the spectacle of

A BATTLE 1Mm1N1l INT.
Striking Miners Drive off Posse Of
Sheriff's Officers.

TOWER, Mimi, June 90. = Sheriff
Starvey, accompanied by Deputy Arm
strong and posse Of sixty deputies, ar
rived in The city on special train, hav-
ing been telegraphed for to assist in
holding back the 400 striking miners.
The strikers at once surrounded the
sheriff's posse. The deputies immedi-
ately surrendered and left for town.
Later forty members of Company A,
under command of Captain Fear, ar
rived on q special train and are now
stationed at the machine shop to await
Developments, as the strikers are not ex-
pected to take any decided action until
there is an attempt to start work. An
other special with two companies of
West Duluth militia are expected. The
strikers have possession of all powder
and dynamite belonging to the Minne-
sofa company, and say they will use it
If necessary. They also claim they will
have all the miners of the Chandler
mine at Ely up in arms to assist them
in the strike, but trains between Tower
and Ely will be carefully guarded to
prevent any help from that quarter.
The citizens of Tower and Soudan
have laid in n plentiful supply OF ammu-
nltlon, ana Will DE ready TO receive any
hostile demonstration towards personal
property from the strikers. Itwas whis-
pered around that detachments will be
sent out to every miners house in the
location, and every geh compelled to
Join the strikers. The Situation at pres
ent is the worst it has been for the past
three days. Water in the mines is ris-
ing steadily, and much damage has been
done already to machinery and other
property. Twenty of the leaders have
been arrested and will be taken to Du-
luth as soon as the militia arrives.
The fear is entertained here that there
is plot to blow up the engine aud shaft
houses, as large quantities of dynamite
used for blasting have been taken from
the magazine.

county almshoase at Lima, escaped from
that institution Saturday night and
came to Chester, where he visited the
City hotel and drank several rounds

created fnrore by disclosing his iden-
tity. When J. P. McCarty undertook to
take hold of him Anderson bit him
seyerly on the hand. An officer was
afraid to arrest the loathsome Swede
and advised the citizens to take the
other side of the street and give tho
leper all the room he wanted. Ander-
son was arrested yesterday by Officer
Sill as he was about t8 undress on
Market street. The officer did not know
him at the time. DR.. G. w. Perkins,

about tho possibilities of his nomination.
They did not renounce their allegiance
TO Cleveland, though, They discussed

Senator Villas Confidence.
Senator Villas came in from Madison.
Mr.. Villas said: "It's all one way. Wis
ocnsin has given her delegates clearly
defined, specific Instructions, and will
sbide nothing less than their faithful
execution. Wisconsin does not tolerate
anything but sound sense and good
Judgment on that question, and we have
but one thing to do" In answer to an
inquiry whether Palmer would get the
Cleveland votes If Cleveland were not
nominated Mr.. Villas said: THAT is not
q supposable case. Senator Palmer is
sincerely enthusiastic Cleveland. His
only desire is that Illinois shall cast its
vote for Cleveland and secure that gem
tleman's nomination. And there is no
doubt that Cleveland will be nominated"
The position of Mr.. Morrison as a cup
porter Of Mr.. Cleveland which, was made
plain In u telegram before the Illinois
delegation, was reinforced by Delegate
Eckels, who has letter from Mr.. Nor
rison dated Washington, June 10, con-
taining this passage: 81 don't see that we
cnn do anything except carry out the
line Of action indicated by the proceed
ipgs of our convention, and let the con-
6equsnees take care OF themselves. Any
thing else is liable to lead to misunder-
standing and possibly elimination and
divisions" 10 view of this Mr.. Eckels
insists that Illinois will vote for Cleye-
land.
a Different View.
The Illinois delegation does not feel
quite sure of itself yet. however, and
several of the delegates are regarded
with suspicion by the Cleveland people.
Among the Indiana politicians there
4s considerable disgust expressed at the
manner in which the influence of the
state ls likely to be frittered away by
divisions over the presidential nomina-
tion and the failure, as one of them ex-
pressed it, "to appreciate the politics in
the situation" One of the best known
politicians in the Hoosier state is the
Hon. James FL. Rice, ex-state auditor,
ex-chairman of the state central COM
mittee and the intimate political friend
Of the late Vice President Hendricks.
"What rilesSne," he said, speaking of
the action of the Indiada delegation. sis
the fact that the real political issue this
year, at least so far as Indiana is con-
cerned, is lost sight of by these Cleve-
land fellows. We could not il we
would, and we would not if we could
get away from tariff reform in our state.
The party has been committed to it
from the time when Speaker Kerr was
ele6tSd. There is no doubt Of the posi-
tipn 9f the Democratic party on that
question, and the iteration Of the state
fnent that we MUST have an apostle of
