CHICAGO, June 2l.-The atmosphere at
the White City TO day reminded one strong
lv of the steam room in the Turkish bath
II had rained pretty nearly al night, and
this morning the sun rose with scarcely a
breath of air stirring.
1t was cool and pleasant along the shore
Of the lake, however, and many sought
comfort there But the heat dld not seem
TO drive visitors from the Fair. People
kept coming all the afternoon and evening
and thousands of visitors came to see the
electric display in the evening.
The great Ferris wheel was dedicated
late this afternoon. II was the intention
TO have started it at 3 o'clock, but 1t was
4:30 when the signal was given for the
huge machine to start. The Ferris wheel
is To the Columbian Exposition what the
Eiffel Towner was TO the Paris Exposition
of 1889
It has not vet become as widely known
as that sky piercing structure, but there is
no doubt that il will be in time. The
wheel with its passengers weighs 200
tons and is 265 feet hign.
The colossal statue OF Gladstone which
was erected in London and Is the work OF
the Irish artist, Bruce JOY, has been re-

25th In the banquetinR hall OF Donegal
Castle, on the Midway Plaisance. Mayor
Harrison will preside and Judge Moran

CONDITION OF The TREASURY.
Gold Shipments From Abroad Have Be-
gun-A Comfortable Balance.


WASHINGTON, DC, June 2l.-United
States Treasurer Morgan to-day re-
ceived a cablegram from London stating
that Barring, Magoun & Co., OF London
and New York, had shipped 5000 900 OF
gold to New York. This Is the nrst
shipment of foreign gold in any conSld-
erable quantity to the United States
during the present month and Is looked
upon as showing that the tide In gold
in exports from this country to Europe
has turned.
For the past three weeks no gold has
been exported from New York TO
Europe, and as consequence the
Treasury Department has been gaining
gold during that period, the net gold
balance to-day standing at s94, ,O5O, 5lO'
In the building up OF this gold the
Treasury Department has redeemed
nearly $4,000, 600 gold certificates, the
amount outstanding to-day being S9S,-
O7O 600. against SlO4, 600, 900 on the
first day of June. While the receipts
and expenditures of the Treasury thus
kept about even during the month,
the stated balance to-day is S26, 42O, 40.
OF this amount SIP, ,253,0O Is in sub
sidiary silver and minor coin, and SILL
92f. 600 I'm national bank repositories.
This statement shows that the Treasury
is provided with a good working cur
rency balance.

BY Speaking Kindly
Strengthening Of Germany, az
That the Centre Party Finds
Inspiration in the Confessional.

BERLIN. June 2l.-The representative In
this city OF the Associated Press to-day had
an interview with DR. Johannes MIGUEL,
Prussian Minister OF Finance, in regard 10
the political situation.
Dr. MIGUEL was frank In his utterances
regarding the significance OF the late cleo
tions. He said that the oalloting hitherto
had proved that generally the intelligent
classes were In favor OF the Army bill as
proposed by the government.
Among those classes, however, there was
one exception. This was the class or po.
litical section that is under the influenced OF
tho Roman Catholic Church-that is the
Csntre party.
DfMiquel added that he did not mean 20
imply tLst this party was unpatriotic, but
he did believe that their consci ences had
been overruPd through the confessional.
IL was an undsputed fact that power
full party at the 'aticaG IS strongly against
the strengthening n Germany; hence this
party werks secretly against the bill
In speaking of the campaign DIR. Miguel
said that the most remarkable feature OF
it was the complete wiplng out OF the can
didates OF the Reichterists or Radical
Peoples party.
1t would be great pity he further AID,
IL Herr Richter, the leader OF this faotf q
should be personally excluded irOm 100
Relchstag by the result OF the by-election
that is necessary In bis constituency.
DIR. MIGUEL showed his broad minded
ness by his reference 10 Herr Richter, who
is his political opponent He praised Herr
Richteris parliamentary ability aud said
among other things that he was most
clever speaker, though his ideas did not Al'
ways bear fruit.
With reference 20 the position OF the
Army bill, DR.. MIGUEL said II was possible
that the Government, through skillful
management would evolve majority.
This majority would, In his opinion, be OBJ
tanned on agrarian lines against the Social
lists, Radical aud Particularist minority.
In speaking OF the many political dl-
visions that have sprung up since the dis
solution OF the Reichstag, DIR. MIGUEL said
he was convinced that the present party
organizations would soon disappear.
He held that the decadence OF the Centre
party would cause the supply OF an impor-
tant addition 10 the new groups that Will
support the government.
When questioned as 10 the number OF
members OF the ReIchstag, who, aside from
the regular Government supporters, might
be Induced by various concessions 70 vote
for government measures, DR.. Miguel said
he thought the government might a->-A.>
out OF more than 300 cohesive deputies d
solid working majority This could DO
done, he thought, on platform OF modern
agrarian protection.
