VAN buren,, Ark, May 1.-Two water

was immense and many lives lost.

transportation Facilities Prove TO Be
Adequate.
CHICAGO, May 1.--Transportalion faoili-
ties to-day to and from the exposition
grounds were given their first trial and
proved sminently satisfactory. The bulk
of dow town traffic reached the grounds on
the Illinoins Central road in trains of
eight cars each. which ran at t~hree-minute
intervals. These facilities will be increased
when occasion demands to twice their pres-
ent capacity. The Illinois Central handled
an average of 1000 people an hour. The
Cottage Grove Avenue cable line disgorged
crowds at the exposition gates at the rate
of 5000 an hour without great providing.
The elevated system was not 30 fortunate
az its competitors for its terminal sy stem
ia not finished, and to-day it was literally
swanped. The road carried about 1000 an
hour but could have doubled the number
under more suspicious circumstances.
Boats ran at thirty-minute intervals. but
the day was too cold and the lake to o
rough for the water route to be popular.
Taking the day, which was considerably
heavier than the average will be, as a cri-
terion, 1t is safe to say transportation to
the exposition will be an pie for oil de-
mands made upon it.

full and melodious tones filling the air with
glory hallelujah in honor of the event.
The official ceremony over Commissioners

terror section of the German exhibit in
manufacturer hall. A reception by Com
missioner Wermuth. and luncheon with
obligatory toasts to this success OF the ex-
