CHICAGO, April 4.-Notwithstand.ng
the serious delay cccasioaed by the bad
weather OF last week, the managers oe tna
world fair are promising TO have things in
presentahle shape by next Monday. Under
no circumstances Will the opening be post
poned
As to the interior work OF the fair the
outlook is not 50 hopeful. no one VIII pre-
tend to say that the great show Will be on
tireiy completed by the first OF May lu-
stallation Of exhibits may go on day and
night and yet much will remain to be done
week hence. 1t is a physical lmpossibilIty
TO get everything in reaiiness in the short
remain ng time. For this the exhibitors
themsalves are to blame They have in
many instances delayed their part OF the
work until the very last moment and so
lind themselves behind the procession.
The action of the carpenters' union in
declaring q strike for to-day had n visible
effect at the fair grounds. This mornin.;
the usual force of carpenters was at worl,
and none had struck and 10 far as could be
learned no orders had been issued to the
men working there to so cut Among tho
inen there seemed to be feeling of dissatis.
faction at the action taken by the meeting
last night in declaring g general strike.
President Russell Roughly HaudIed.
CHICAGO, Ill, April 94.-Prssident Rus.

men at work on the German building to

them to strike they called on the Co,umbiaa
