RIGID ESFORC RCEMENTO or THE SIN
DAY CLOSING ORDER.

All the Buildings Shut Up Yesterday.
Assistant secretary Hamiin to Investi-
gate the Trouble with Russian Exhibitors
CHICAGO, July "a. The White City wa
deserted yesterday and the warm sun of
the peaceful Sabbath shone upon desolate
thoroughfares, lonely Columbian guards
and few inhabitants OF the Midway
Plaisancc, who had left that cosmopolitan
quarter early in the day TO view the big
buildings in the park The Sunday cos
ing order was rigiCly enforced, and any
person who entered the Exposition grounds
had TO prove that his presence there was
absolutely necessary.
All buildings were closed and the sign
''closed TO day. placed on the doors OF the
State homes was entirely unnecessary, as
there We're no persons IN the park who
cared to do any visiting or Sightseeing.
All the electric and steam launches and
gondolas we've tied up, no fountain was
playing, the ends Of booths were barred of
wares and their handsome saleswomen,
and altogether il WAS the most complete
"clcsed Sunday" the Worlds Fair has
known. Only two gates were open and
these were for pass holders.
There i, IS 40 grumbling among the en-
ployes nor among the exhibitors on ac-
count Of the enforced day of rest. And the
grumbling that was done outside was not
loud enough 10 disturb any one num-
ber came to the gates as if they expected
to be admitted, but finding them closed
thoy left not caring TO stand around in the
hot sun for nothing.
Although UP To this time nearly G,0O0,OOO
persons have paid 10 sec the Fair md have
come from all parts Of the United States,
the Worlds Fair officials are disappointed
in the attendance. At the present rate the
record for the first half Of the six months
of the Fair will reach 100000.
The most sanguine experts on exposi-
tions say that under the most favorable
conditions the total attendance will. not
reach 20,000.000 Before the exposition
opened, Worlds Fair officials declared that
the attendance would reach a total OF 80
000, 600.

done, he relies upon the justice of the
French government to return the balance
after inquiry is made.
This reply not being considered satis-
factory in any point, the French minister
at Bangkok will comply with The instruc-
tions previously sent to him and will quit
the place.
The news of Slams defiant reply to the
French demands caused much discussion
in the city last night. On the boulevards
and in the public places intense Interest
was manifested I'm the policy which the
country woull pursue to enforce the de-
mands upon Siam.
At midnight It was stated that Slams
reply to Frances ultimatam is considered
unsatisfactory. NJ. Paye is probably
leaving Bangkok on Wednesday TO go
aboard the cruiser Forfait.
The refusal Of NJ Develle, French min
lister OF foreign affairs, to give Siam an
extension OF time for her reply to the ulti-
matum is ascribed to his desire to force
Slams hand aud prevent her negotiating
for British support.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, July 24.-What
seems TO have been an attempt to wreck n
passenger train on the Rome, Watertown
and O.glensburg Railroad occurred in this
city saturday night. Two switches were
opened in the freight yarl and tae lights

$50 and o'clock
At the latter hour train was due from
from Syracuse and Utica. This train was
half an hour late and was running un-
usually fast to make up time. 1t had a
heavy load Of passengers
The track coming into the city Is on a
down grade for over two miles. Trains
do not usually begin to slow up until
they reach the east yard. The engineer,
however missed the lights and fearing
danger checked the speed so that when
the first switch was reached the locomo-
tive and all of the train except one coach
left the track but did not capsize or tele-
scope, and no one was hurt.
The railroad officials are inclined to be-
lieve that former employe, who was re
