Worlds Fair Opened.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The electric age
was nshered into being III this, the last
decade of the 18th century, when Presl-
dent Cleveland, by pressing button,
started the mighty machinery, rushing
waters and revolving wheels in the
worlds exposition.
No exhibit of the fair that is to at
tract thousands to this city for the next
six mouths can be more marvellous tian
the magical effect following the Demn
opening of the fair to-day. OF the mul,
titudes Of visitors-some estimate the
number as high as 200,000-probably
not one fully realized the full import of
the effect that was to come from the ar
rangement c,everly devised in the open
ing of the exposition. 1t was known
in vague way that the president WAS
to press golden key and that electric
communication with the machinery was
to start the fair, but no one realized how
intricate was this machinery, how inf
mite the qualifications of that electric
spark until the metal fountains threw up
their geysers 70 feet into the air and the
rumble and hum Of wheels in the man
ufactures building and the clatter of
machinery in all parts of that area OF a
square mile or more told the story of the
final contamination of scientific thought.
The lfeless started into being on
every hand, draped statuary shed it's
veil and vealed to the world the artis-
tic labors of the past Is months, and in
a moment all that had been apathy and

ST. LOUIS, May 2.-For the present

from high water seems to be past. This
evening Ohe river was stationery at 81
feet, and no further rise is Immediately
anticipated. On This side of the river
further ser Gus damage Is reported, and
on the OTHER side the situation is about
the same as last night. The new levce
south of East st. Louis is in imminent
danger. Men aud teams have been
working steadily to save it for AZ hours,
but tonight it looks as if their efforts
would be fruitless.
| Advices from southern Missouri and
northwestern Arkansas are to the effect
that the third food this year in the
White and Black rivers Is pouring down,
doing great damage to all kinds of prop

Bluff are submerged, and people arc
obliged to abandon their homes. The
bottom lands along boch the White and

miles. All crops are damaged or wholly
destroyed. At Stielville, Mo-, the wator
is pouring through the streets our feet

are washed away,
CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 2.-The heavy

feet and l. rising only one-halt an inch
per hour, The greatest damage is done
along the smaller rivers in Ohio, The
Miami is higher than since 1884. Paper
mills at Franklin and Middleton have
been compelled to stop wo.k. Along
the Little Miami thousands of acres of
planted ground are submerged, and
along the Scloto the same state of af-

are all under water. Only the absence

and a chilled mist filled the atm lsphere
Bunting throughout the city was limp

pervaded the air and streets, but to
Chicago, whose day of history this was,
the weather conditions counted for
nothing, and people were astir early.
The busting, eager spirit of the great

TUCKER BILL. PASSED.
The House Passes the Elections Rep
Bill by Party Ma aioritY.

The House Passes the Elections Repeal
Bill by Party Majority.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The fact that
the voting on the Tucker bill to repeal
the federal election laws was to begin
according to the special order under
which the debate had progressed at
o'clock attracted full house and the
galleries were crowded. The special
order bringing the bill to vote and
the pending amendments by Mr.. Fitch,
Mr.. Lacey and Mr. Burrows were read
at 1 o'clock.
Mr. Burrows explained that he would
not demand division on his amend
ment if the house would permit the five
statutes his amendment sought to save
to be read at the clerks desk, that they
might get into the Record. They are
the sections providing for free reg
istry and vote of citizens ire
spective of color or previous con-
dition, providing for the punish
ment of those who should prevent,
hinder and delay registration and vot-
ing and giving United States judges
jurisdiction in such cases. On a rising
vote the amendment was defeated-91
to 1s3, strict party division. The ayes
and nays were demanded and the roll
was called. This resulted ayes 100,
nays 1913, demonstrating the fact that
the democrats had margin of nine in
excess of a quorum.
Mr.. Laceys amendment providing
for the punishment of crimes against
the ballot box in congressional and
state elections was then called up and
Mr.. Lacey demanded an aye and nay
vote, claiming that the defeat of his
amendment would give bribery and
ballot box stufing free vent in the
delegate elections in the territories.
| The Lacey amendment was defeated
and then the bill itself was put to q
vote and passed, without amendment
by a vote of 200 ayes to 10t nays

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
A Discovery Affecting the Tucker Bill

A Discovery Affecting the Tucker Bin-It
VIII Be Amended in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The decree of
the democratic caucus at the house last
night was that the Tucker bill repeal
ing every vestige of the federal election
laws except one statute should be
passed to-day.
Over 40 members were present, indi-
eating that the democrats will have a
quorum. It was also discovered that a
stray statute, 1928, not included in
those repealed, permitted interference
of troops at the polls.
The general sentiment echoed by
Mr. Tucker, Bourke Cochran and Pat
terson, of Tennessee, in strong speeches,
was for passing the Tucker bill modi-
fed so as to include the stray No. 552S.
Speaker Crisp, however, called atten-
tion to the fact that owing to the
peculiar parliamentary situation re-
sulting from the special order under
which the house was operating, no
amendments were in order save such
as had already been offered-the sub
stitute of Chairman Fitch and the
amendments of Mr. Burrows and
Lacey.
It was decided unanimously to pass
the Tucker bill as it stands and have it
amended in the senate.

THE SENATE.
Several Matters Touched Upon Before the
Repeal Bill Is Taken Up.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-When the SEN
ate met Mr.. Turpie, of Indiana, pre-
sented a petition of citizens of Rich
mond, Ind, asking that the use of the
mails be denied newspapers and other
mail containing reports of prize fights.
The resolution heretofore offered by
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, calling for in
formation as to money borrowed by the
United States, if any, since 1856, was
agreed to.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Dolph,
of Oregon, calling for information as
to whether China had requested an ex-
tension of the time in which Chinese
laborers were required by the act Of
May, 1892, to register, was laid before
the senate and Mr.. Dolph started to
speak in favor of its adoption.
Mr.. Sherman suggested that the mat
ter should be discussed in executive
session and the senate went into exec
tive session.
The senate resumed the legislative
session at 1850 o'clock and Mr.. Hill, of
New York, presented petition signed,
he said, by Is, 900 merchants and manu-
facturers of New York, not broker or
banker among them. asking for the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman law.
The repeal bill was then taken up
and Mr.. Mcpherson, of New Jersey,
addressed the senate in favor of it.

Out Some of His Chances.

Out Some of His Chances.
NEW YORK, Oct 1O.-Lord Dunraven
bore the defeat of his yacht, the Val
kyrie, by the American yacht Vigiiant,
yesterday, like true sportsman "As
a result of to-day's race am satisfied,
he said last night, s'that the Vigllant
is the faster boat at the weight OF
wind which prevailed. In heavier
or lighter weather the Valkyrla
might make much better show
ing. The unfortunate part of the
day was the crowding and interfering
done-innocently enough, have no
doubt-by excursion steamers. Now
while honestly believe that the Vigi-
liant would have beaten me to-day un-
der the most favorable conditions for
a good race, nevertheless but for those
excursion steamers she certainly
would not have finished more
than five minutes ahead at most. 1t
seems too bad after coming so far for
fair race to encounter this serious
annoyance What wish is fair test
of merit with the American boat, which
can never be secured while racing in
the midst of feet of steamers. 1t
will be hard for the public to estimate
the retarding influences of their wash.
Yachtsmen, however, know how hard
it is to sail in water of that character,
and will understand the disadvantage
under which the Valkyrie labored
to-day when say that her decks
were frequently under water from the
wheels of passing steamers. So serious
is this annoyance and so fatal is it to a
fair test of speed, that could have I
foreseen it, would not have consented
! to race in these crowded waters. With
to-day's splendid breeze we would have
had magnificent race. / think it is
very probable that she will win the
next race, but to capture the cup l
must now take three straight races,
and : and =, well :, the prospect is
somewhat dubious"

WASHINGTON, Oct 10-Commissioner
Lamoreaux, speaking for himself and

they courted the very fullest investi-
cation of their official acts with rela-
tion to the opening of the Cherokee
strip He pronounced the current
rumors of official connivance at sooner
ism, bribery and other corruption as
utterly baseless.
Democratic members of the house
generally are disposed to make light
of the clamor for an investigation.
When Oklahoma proper was opened
a similar clamor was totally disre-
garded.
'sIf any good can come of it," said
Mr.. Barnes, of Wisconsin, in whose dis
trict Mr.. LamoreauX lives and with
whom Mr.. Lamoreaux discussed the
situation freely, ''there will not be a
dissenting vote on our side, but hate
to see a yielding to senseless demand,
which, when granted, accomplishes
nothing"
The public lands committee is dis
posed to be fair, however, its pres
ent attitude being induced more
by the Incorporate charges that have
been made than from wish to shield
anybody. Commissioner LamoreauX's
expressed desire that action be taken
and an investigation ordered will prob
ably do much to cause an inquiry.
Congressman Davis said that the
committee on public lands at its
meeting tomorrow would probably
ask the house to invite the departments
concerned in the proposed strip investi-
cation to appear by representatives
before the committee. eve have only

Escaping Prisoners Not to Be Punished for
That Natural Feeling to Walk On
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Oct. 10. I'm the
circuit court, Judge Myers presiding,
in the state case against three prison
ers who escaped from the penitentiary,
the motion to quash sustained upon
two grounds-frst, that the law to eX-
tend penalty for trial to escape was
under the jurisdiction of the warden,
and the legislature had no right to
infict an additional penalty by a jury
trial; secondly, these men simply
walked out of confinement when op-
portunity offered, and when caught all
the warden could do was to make them
serve out their sentences, or the un-
served part thereof. Judge Myer was
most emphatic and stated that prison
ers should not be punished for the care
lessness of the state or state officers.
This is new ruling under the Kansas
laws, and Judge Myers is commended
by the bar for administering whole
some advice to employees of the state.

ground that the indictment does not

remanded until Monday. She says she
was not surprised at the erlict; that
she had been convicted because she
was an anarchist and an atheist, not
because she had committed any offense

This One Meets at Los Angeles and Is

Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 10.-The
national irrigation congress. called by
the Irrigation congress at Salt Lake
City two years ago, met in the city to-
day. 1t is made up of delegates ap-
pointed by the governors of the states
and territories, members of various
chambers of commerce and irrigation
corporations, mayors of cities of over
1850 inha bitants, delegates from en-
gineering societies and others. The
department of the interior is repre-
sented by officers regularly detailed to
give such information as may be de-
sired concerning results obtained by
the government.
The congress will be much broader
in the scope of its discussions, and con-
siderably larger and more representa-
tive in attendance than the Salt Lake
convention. In view of the fact that
irrigation is an object of lively govern
mental concern in several European
countries, as well as in Africa, Asia and
Australia, it is likely that the invita-
ton of the secretary of state will meet
with a considerable response.
