THE *. OF P. FINANCES

In Jeopardy and the Supreme Master OF
the ExChequer viii Be Discharged.
WILMINGTON, Dbl, May 3l.-A final
request has been made for the resigna.
tion OF Mayor stansbury K. Wiley, Of
this city, as supreme master of tho ex-
chequer OF the supreme lodge OF the
worlds Knights OF Pythias by Supreme
Chancellor Blackwell, OF Henderson,
KY
As soon as the failure Of R. r. Robin.
son & Co., OF this city, was learned, and
that $4,000 of the knights of Pythias
money was in jeopardy, tho supreme
chancellor came to Wilmington and
held conference with the mayor. He
assured them that the funds were safe,
as he had secured property and other
securities which at fair estimate
should be worth $4,000. The finance
committee OF the supreme lodge were
not satisfied, however, and they came
to Wilmington to Investigate. The pro-
ceedings were kept secret until to-day,
when the mayors refusal to resign tho
office which he has held for so many
years compelled the committee to make
them public.
Tho chancellor has called meeting
Of the supreme council to meet in
Chicago, Juno 10, and at that time
Mayor Wiley will be given his dishon.
orable discharge. Claims will be made
against Wiley and his bondsmen for
the amount deposited with Robinson &
Co., which firm is unable TO pay it.

CHICAGO, May 3l.-To be exact there
were 1904 visitors who paid for adj
mission at the Worlds Fair on Dec
Grafton Day. Then there were S860O
workmen, exhibitors, concesslopaires
and newspaper people who were ad.
mitted on passes, making the total at.

l76,474. There was a reaction to-day.
and the streets and buildings that we're
througod yesterday and Sunday had q
rather vacant look.
The superintendent OF the bureau OF
admissions said this evening that he
did not think tho paid c.s.tendance of
to-day would number over 10000 to
$4,000 people. There was this differ
ence between the crowd OF to-day aud
those Of Sunday and yeaterday. That
OF to-day appeared to be made up ale
most exclusively OF out.of.town people,
while those OF Sunday and Decoration
Day seemed almost entirely local.
The marble room OF the German art
section was thrown open to the public
to-day without ceremony. The collec-
ton Of statuary, while not large one,
contains some very valuable and cele'
brated pieces.
One feature OF special interest at the
fair to-day was tho performance OF 1000
children in calesthenic exercises un-
der the direction of Prof. Henry Har-
tung, physical director of the expost-
ton. The exercises took place in the
immense arena building for the exhibi-
ton OF live stock. 1t is modelled after
the coliseum at Rome and holds $4,000
people. 1t was about two-thirds full.
The children who took part are all
members OF the North American Turn
erbund.
Herr Wermuth, the imperial German
commissioner to the exposition. has
had no official notification that Emperor
William intends to visit the fair, as an
nounced from Washington this morn
ing II may be that he will come. for
he Is found OF travelling and takes O
great interest in this exposition. 1t
need therefore surprise no one II 'he
does come, but there is no notiaca-
ton Of his intention.
The childron's building will be form
ally opened tomorrow.

CHICAGO, May3l.-An immense crowd
of spectators gathered in the United

to the arguments in the injunction suit
brought by the United States govern
ment to restrain the opening Of tho fair
on Sunday.
Soon Judges Woods, jenkins and
Grosscup walked into the court room in
procession, garbed in their silken
gowns. Judge Woods announced that
| Chief Justice Fuller had been expected,
but that on account of his daughters
| illness he would not be in attendance
for several days. Judge Woods added
that Judge Grosscup had decided not
to sit in the case, as he was q stock
holder in the exposition. The attor-
neys ON both sides at once objected to
Judge Grosscup retiring and he finally
consented to serve. The legal talent
arrayed on either side was something
formidable. District Attorney Mil

Since last fall, when in certain European
ports cholera became epidemic, the san

use. The United States government,
both ut home and abroad, are observing
all known precautions to prevent its
reaching here, and these efforts will be
doubly Increased now that cholera cases
have appeared in Hamburg. It is not
thought necessary at this stage to quar-
antino against any OF the European

On Chicago day there was an
other cause of rejoicing, especially
to the hearts of the stockholders of
the Columbian exposition COM
pany. This was because the last
dollar of a threatening debt that
hung like a pail over the fair was
swept away. In the morning the
treasurer signed a check for
81, 565, 310.76, which wiped out the
remains of the interest and prin-
cipal of the $4,5O0,OO0 issue of
bonds to cover the final expenses
of the fair. The check was made
payable to the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank as trustee for the
bondholders. 1t was one of the
largest checks ever written in
Chicago, and the exposition man.
