Detailed Account OF the Ceremonies
Mt the Worlds Fair Grounds
Monday.
President Cleveland Makes Short
speech Before Pressing the
Button.
Nearly Catastrophe During the
Progress OF the Exercises-An
Awful Crush.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The opening cere-
monies of the worlds fair are over and
the greatest exposition the world has
ever seen is now under way. OF course
Ii was not complete when the president
of the United States pressed the button
which set the gigantic machinery in
motion, but it was as nearly complete
as anything of the like nature ever is,
and more nearly so than could have
been expected of so gigantic an enter
prise. At the same moment that the
wheels began to move a national salute
pealed forth from the guns of Andrew
johnson, lying off the exposition
grounds in Lake Michigan. Seven hum
dred fiags, released from their steps
at q concerted signal, swung loose and
screamed out under the sky in scarlet,
yellow and blue; over in machinery hall
q great roar arose and the turrets of the
building nodded as the wheels began to
turn, and great volume of sound arose
from the throats of the great concoursa
/ of people who thus acclaimed the OPEN
ing of the grandest achievement of
American pluck, enterprise and gener
osity.
Nearly all night there was continu-
ous, soaking, drizzling rain that caused
the spirits of the worlds fair officials to
sink to the zero point. The rain con-
tinued until Z o'clock. when the clouds
parted and through rift far over the
lake there was 4 glearn of cold sum
shine. 1t lasted only for moment,
however, and, although the rain ceased,
the clouds still hung sodden and lower
ing over the city. The wind blew
family from the east happing the ban
ners and other decorations in a dismal
fashion, and, except on the asphalt
boulevards, the mud lay thick and deep.
All this, however. had no effect upon
the enthusiasm of the energetic citizens
who had determined to witness the
opening of the fair. M

WATERS. STRIKE.
1t Is Inaugurated in Small Way at
Chicago.

1t Is Ifiaugurated in a Small Way at
Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 2. The strike of the
walters in this city for recognition and
a material advance in wages for the
worlds fair period, was inaugurated in
a small way at noon by the walkout of
the men in two or three oyster houses.
AS far as can be learned it is the inten-
tion to call out the walters in only two
or three places each day until every
hotel, restaurant and eating house in
the city employing union help has
signed the agreement. Men are coming
in from other cities, but they are being
taken care of by the local union, it is
claimed, who do not go to work except
for the wages demanded by the Chicago
walters. Three restaurants had al
ready signed the agreement before the
strike began.

HITCHCOCK'S WAR.
His Rivals Accuse Him of
Rate-Cutting.
ALL IN THE SAME BOAT.
A Merry Little Fight Among the Rail-
road Ticket Agents, Who Talk
About Each Other.
L IN THE SAME BOAT.

There is merry war among the trans
continental railroad representatives, and
they all are accusing the Union Pacifcs
agent of cutting rates and breaking agree
ments.
They say the same thing of the Burling-
ton man, and all the other general, special,
or sub-agents are displaying much virtuous
Indignation on account of these alleged
heinous Offenses.
AS matter of fact they are all in the
same boat, and all this talk amounts to
nothing.
Rate-cutting is going on every day In
nearly every Office on Montgomery or Mar
ket street which does any overland business,
but it is done so artisticaly that no specific
case can be traced after the transaction is
all over.
Colonel Hitchcock, the veteran agent OF
the Union Pacific Company, said yesterday,
when speaking Of the charges made against
his office: They have combined against
us. boycotted us. so to speak, and have
flooded the Office of President Clark in
Chicago with kilograms accusing US of rate
cutting; but they have not made out
single case, and, what is more, they can't
do It. The whole cabOodle of them together
can't make out a single case against this
Office That is all the doughty colonel
would say, except that he had advices from
President Clark which assured him that the
latter understood the case and that he paid
no attention to the accusations which have
been made.
The Traffic Association and its offspring,
the North American Navigation Company,
are working hard but quietly to get matters
into shape, and it will be several days before
they will have anything Of public interest to
give out.

HEATH AND POLICY
Suspected of Numbering g
McWhirter.
Both Men Claim to Be Able to Es-
tablish Their Innocence of the
Charge Against Them.

Richard S. Heath and Frederick w. Pol
ley were arrested Monday on suspicion of
being the murderers of Louis B. McWhir-
ter, who was assassinaIed on the morning
Of August % last in the rear of his resi-
dence at Fresno.
Policy was arrested at Fresno and Heath
was taken from the corner of California
and Montgomery streets In this city.
Each of the accused declares that he
can prove an alibi. although the evidence
against them, which is circumstantial, is
very strong.
The killing of McWhirter was the out
growth of the recent political difficulties in
Fresno, where McWhirter belonged to the
faction of the Democratic party advocating
reform, and was generally prominent in
political matters. His assassination Gre
ated considerable excitement at the time on
account Of its boodedness.
After his death rumor to the effect that
cNhirter had taken his life in order to
provide his family with the 100000 for
which his life was insured was set afloat,
but that theory has never been credited by
either the officers or the public.
New hlrter conducted an evening news
paper, of which Joseph Baker, an Oakland
newspaper man, was editor. Shortly be-
tore the killing Baker and Heath had en-
gagged in fight on the street, which re-
suited In Heath being badly beaten. He
declared at the time that lie would kill
Baker. Just previous to his taking eff
McWhirter had returned from q pleasure
trip to the mountains. and during his alb
sence Baker occupied his house. 1t has
been supposed by many that Heath id not
know Of McWhrteT's return and mistook
him for Baker. The prosecution claims TO
have witnesses to prove that Heath. pre-
Vious 10 the killing, said that McWhirter
ought to be killed, and that Chinese high
binder could be employed to Il 10 it for SEQ
A noise made by some one in forcing an
entrance into the back yard on the morning
Of the murder awoke McWhrter, W no went
to the back door attlred only in his night
clothes. He was fired upon by the assassns,
VINO shot him through the heart. NOtwth-
standing the fatal nature of the wound he
received McWhir,er emptied his revolver at
them before he fell and died.
The alibi which Heath expects to establish
in order 20 prove his innocence is that he
went to bed in the Central Hotel at IL
O'Clock, which was before the shooting of
McNhrter, and did not leave his room till Z
o'clock the following morning.
When questioned about the murder Policy
denied all knowledge of tue affair, but
finally admitted that he had been drinking
with Heath up to 1 O'Clock on the morning
of the murder, after which he was unable
to remember anything

MeWhirter. expresses his belief in the inn g.

EmbeZzIer Greene,

In compliance with an order of court,
Nathaniel Greene was yesterday brought
into Judge Daingerfieid's court from the
State prison at San Quentin, where he is
serving five years sentence for EN- bezzle-
ment. to answer to fourteen other charges
of enlightenment, which were preferred
against hun by Farnsworth 81 Ruggles over
a year ago.
According to the information filed he had
embeZzlrd nearly $40 600 from Farnsworth
& Rufgles, and on September IA, 1892. he
was convicted on one Of the fifteen charges
and sentenced to five years Imprisonment.
His attorney now claims that as the sew
eral acts of EN- beZZlemeAt were committed
during only two years and in such n man
ner as 10 form q connected series, he should
have been tried upon all at the same time.
After argument the matter was taken under
advisement by the court.

INDIANS IN LUCK.

But the Omilak Mining Company OBJ
iects-Native AIaskans and Tai
Iowa Question of Diet.

A free and easy manner of handling other
peoples provisions. resulting from a too
ready sympathy for hungry Alaska Indians,
is made the basis of the defense of the
Omilak Gold and Silver Mining Company
to the suit brought against it by Eugene
Taggert for wages earned.
The trial has been pending for several
days before Judge Hunt and jury.
In September, 1882 the company stationed
Taggert upon its mining property in the
Fish River mining district on the Yukon
River, giving him a contract by which he
was to be paid about 500 a month for keep
ing the property In good condition, caring
for the company's livestock. and doing the
necessary assessment work on the mine.
lie was to stay for two years.
lie was given permission, so the contract
ran. to employ three Indians whenever he
needed their help; but it was understood
that they were to receive only the Compen-
satiOn which it is customary to give Indians
in the mining districts In Alaska, and this
is the point on which the defendant corpO-
ration and The plaintiff emplOye most en-
phatically disagree.
According to j. c. Greene, the man
ager of the company, Taggert was well pro-
visioned and housed aud we'll equipped in
every respect TO perform the services re-
qulred In the contract, but he neglected
the property. was often absent for long pc
riOds, tried TO sell the claims to outside par
ties. and worst of all, that he supported
three families of hungry Indians on the
provisions the company gave him.
Mr. Greene says il is customary to give
an Indian a cup OF coffee for days work.
or perhaps hunk Of tallow.
For tallnw," explained Mr.. Greene, ''is
exceedingly deleclabe 10 the palate of the
Alaska Indian, and tallow wages make him
happy. But Mr.. TagGert supported the
wives aud children Of his three indians, so
that they lived like white folks"
On argument Mr.. Morganthal submitted
to the jury that Indians had appetites as
well as Caucasians. and thai laborers are
worthy Of their hire, and that iaGgert had
a right to feed the Indians Ike fghting-cocks
if ne chose.
The jury were then left to wrestle with
these gastrunomic questions In the privacy
OF the jury-ToOm.

Pugilists Who Are Bound
for Carson.
The First Contest Will Be a Go Be-
tween Abe Myers, the Goldpicker,
and Tommy White.

'"ro work or not to work" is question
which is at the present time puzzling the
brains of the local pugilists who happened
to become shipwrecked by the striking of
the Pacific Clubs warship against the rocks.
Although there has been an exodus of
fighting men from this city to more pros
porous fields since the collapse Of the boxing
clubs, there still remain a few unfortunate
pugilss who are so financially embarrassed
that they are unable to ride out of town.
Yes, its all well enough for you to say
that walking will be good in few weeks"
remarked member of the fraternity yes
terday, "but how about eating until we can
hit the ties between here and New Orleans?"
Have you heard that boxing will be
tolerated in Nevada and that clubs have
been organized in Carson ?" was asked of

heart on the receipt of good news the face

At this juncture another member of the
"hard-fsted sons of toll" put in an appear
ance and displayed a telegram from a noted
sporting man who resides in the Sagebrush
State which read: "Will you fight Mr.. -
to finish for q $500 purse; expenses al
lowed?"
That speaks like business don't it?"
joyfully remarked the fighter. who a few
days ago was calculating on the amount Of
shoe leather he would destroy between here
and the nearest boxing city of the East.
We'll" retorted the pugilist who was
shown the message. that beats nothing all
to pieces; but don't you know it makes a
fellow feel sick TO think that To avoid hard
work he must drop his price from $4,000 to
$500. It's not right, and l for one am in
favor of keeping up the price Of good fight

The pug who was armed with the telegram
colncided with his brother in .pugiism, but
under his present circumstances he could
not afford to leave the offer pass by giving
the old-time answer: "Why. what do you

The most practical protest yet made
against the location of the Pesthouse on
the Almshouse tract or any adjacent spot
within the natural territorial limits of city
extension was filed yesterday in the office
of ;he Supervisors by James P. Mccarthy.
Mccarthy urges that there is but one safe
place for the Pesthouse. namely on the bay
shore where the wind blows off shore 365
days in the year.
He is of the opinion that rather than see
a pesthouse located in the line Of the city
proper and improvements a large mum ber
OF reputable and substantial citizens would
come forward to pay for a suitable site for
pesth0nse in location where the growth
Of the city would net be injured.
he contends that the protests of residents
in the vicinity of the present Pesth house
should be a sufficient warning in itself TO
the Supervisors not to authorize or permit
the purchase of a site by which an injustice
would be done the property-owners seeking
TO improve their land and aid the natural
growth Of the city.
