visos that the Exposition shall not be opened on
Sunday and that intoxicating liquors shall Dc
| sold within the Worlds Fair grounds whether the
management will caro- to accept Government aid under
thcs, restrictions seems probematical but - strong
| n sentiment has been developed against any grant
not counlcd with similar conditions OF some sort mat
| the Chicago people will probably have TO accept what
Congress Is now willing to give in this restricted way
or get nothing Mt all Mr.. Quay's sunday closing pro-
| vIso went through this afternoon with rather nm
| expected ease. Its opponents could muster only
o,nvcn votes for a motion 70 kill II BY laying II on

the fight completely the provso being accepted Wheh

| plunged them. lie presently offered an am"hdheht
OF his own on the llquorsellng question. which no
pronounced fair compromise between TOTAL cVs'hR
and iudlscrminatc selling. and this compromise VIII
le voted upon 10 ns substitute Tor the fcHcr
proviso when tho sundry Civil bill gets out OF the
| Commi;tc, OF tho Whole and into the Senate. Mr.
Pa,mcrs change Of heart will leave the senate tle
~ the division follows the general llnes rs II did
to-day. II probable however that the present
antiqnor selling proviso will be- rejected on second
vote a. It considered too radical commItnl Of the
| general Government to the principle Of enforcing
| prohibition Besides, Il IS argued though tho Cen
tenuIal Exhibition at Philadelphia was closed on sun
dnys yet tho snle OF liquors on the Farmount PARK
