ming Order - The States Build
ings.

CHICAGO. April 3o-when President
Cleveland presses the electric button, the
signal for the formal opening of the
Worlds Columbian exposition tomorrow.
the public will lind the fair still in
somewhat incomplete condition, but this
regretful situation is due more to tardiness
on the part OF exhibitors than any lack of
zeal on the part of the management OF the
exposition. Nearly every building con-
structed by the exposition proper In the
great White City is practically completed.
and while confusion still reigns in most
structures it is in the matter of the in
staIlation of exhibits and not delay which
can be attributed to any failure of the con-
struction department.. The great buildings
which constitute the vital conception Of
the international exposition. and which
are q monument to the indomitable exc
cutive ability of Chief Burnham and as
sistants, have been completed for weeks
ready for the installation exhibits. They
are the manufactures and liberal arts
buildings. machinery hall electricity hall,
Fl sheries building, art building, woman's
building. forestry building. mines and
mining. horticultural. agricultural and
transportation buildings. The admins
tration buildings are nearly all completed
or nearing completion and Midway Plai-
sance shows dozens of Japanese, Turkish.
Soudanese and other typical villages.
which have sprung up like mushrooms in
few weeks or DAYS.

The s1ines and Mining Ruild,nr.

CHICAGO. April 30-The Mines and
Mining building is simply a wilderness Of
boxes. unfinished booths and unpacked
exhibits. It will be month before the
building is in proper order. Throughout
the entire building but one exhibit is in
readiness, and that from the farthest end
of the earth, New South Wales. The de-
lay in this building is due directly to the
tardiness Of exhibitors, for the building
was completely finished over eight months
ago. Some boxes have been unpacked,
but many are unopened and nothing has
been done toward arranging other exhib-
its. No other foreign countries are in
anything like presentabe shape. Up in
the galleries things are in no better shape.
A large force of men is at work in this por-
tion of the building, and it is expected
that everything will be in shape in about
twsweeks. Down on the floor of tho
building, which covers nine acres, q tre-
mendous force of men is working with
desperate energy, but no force can arrange
the exhibits in the Mines and Mining
building before June.

CHICAGO. April 3o.-There 10 an appear
ancs of sturdiness about the forestry build

in tho structure are big tree trunks in

walls designedly innocent of paint give it
uniqueness all its own, and pre-
sented . good front. seeming to tell OF
we'll arranged exhibits within, but hope
sank when full view.of the interior of
the building is obtained. Scarcely moro
than dozen booths are even approaching
completion, while almost everywhere tho
eye rested could be seen exhibits still un-
packed in boxes. canvas, wrapping paper
and all sorts of covering; yet tho spectacle
is well worth many miles journey to see.
More huge cross sections and logs Of diff
ferent varieties; moro polished, brilliant
colored slabs and posts are about than an
average man would expect to see In
dozen Worlds fairs. Promise Of speedy
betterment, too, 10 observable.

CHICAGO. April 30-The situation on
the island at the entrance north of the
lagoon, in the Fisheries building, q model
of architectural beauty, is better. In the
main building the displays are being
rapidly placed in position and include the
skeleton of a mammoth whale, boats of
every description, from q canoe hewn
from a tree by Alaskan Indians to the
trim sailing smack; vast cords Of dried
fish, caught in Norway waters. and fish
prepared in every conceivable manner.
In the east wing are ten aquaria contain
ing every form of fish and animal life
possible to obtain. In the center of the
building workmen are constructing huge
aquarium from which arise mounds of
rock. Here fresh water fish will live.
Around the court adjoining the rotunda a
glass aquarium has been arranged for the
reception of almost any number of fish.
Every variety of fish. from half-vegetable
formations found at the bottom Of the sea
to the most active species, may be seen.
All the exhibits have not yet been received
and many in the building are not un-
packed. Indications are that it will re-
quire some active work to arrange il in
less than two weeks.

ExAnINAr1oS OF CHINESE.

Collector Wasson Begins Work ct t.
eoma-Nineteen Rejected.
TACOMA, April 30.-[Special.1 1-Out of
forty-nine Cinnamon on the Northern
Pacific steamship Victoria, exam
ined today by Collector Wasson
for admittance to the United
of those allowed to enter are Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia or Boston merchants,
but the bulk are bound for Portland.
Those rejected could not pass the
examination on points regarding
places in which they claimed previous
residence. One admitted that he was .
laborer. Most of the prominent China
men were put forward for examination 10
day. and it is expected that there will be
larger percentage of failures tomorrow.
Collector Wasson is not sure that any of
the certificates presented today are forger-
les. The examination 10 so rigid that one
Chinaman was deemed worthy of deporta-
ton until it was learned that Deputy Col.
lector Berry, of this port, had put an
20. K" on his certificate when he left the
country last fall. Collector Wasson will
ask the department for instructions re-
garding the taking up of Geary certificates
showing that Cinnamon have registered.
A few of these certificates are now
coming with photos attached. Secretary
Carlisle has ruled that photos are un-
necessary. If there are no photos it is the
belief that certificates can be used in float
ing scores of Cinnamon, who answer the
original description. into the country.

The Arts Gallery.

CHICAGO, April 30-There is less con-
fusion in the Arts Gallery than any other
of the buildings, but this is owing to the
fact that the exhibits are less cumbersome
and more easily handled than those In
other buildings. Some exhibits are in ex-
cellent shape, notably those of Great
Britain and Germany. One trouble with
the gallery Of fine arts is that the building
itself is not yet finished. Some of the
men in charge OF the exhibits say that
they will not unpack their stuff until the
roof has been entirely finished. In the
space allotted to Austria the work is we'll
along. OF the American pictures but few
are upon the walls. Spain is In the worst
shape, and Italy and Belgium are in about
the same condition, while Holland is in a
fair way to have everything in shape
within a week. France will take fort
night to get matters in shape. The paint
ings, as a rule, are better prepared for ex-
hibition than sculpture. However, de-
spite the confusion in the building, the
exhibit is even now great one.

immigration of Japanese.

PoRT TOWNSEND. April 3o-fSpecial. l.
The attention OF government official has
lately been attracted to the increased i'm
migration of japanese to this section of
the United States. The Empresses ar
riving a, Victoria and Vancouver
are bringing over large num-
bers of Japs from Yokohama who
are destined for points in the United
states. Friday night batch Of TWENTY
one came across from Victoria. and TODAY
another lot of twenty-five arrived. They
are all bound to Seattle and Tacoma. A
majority claim to be farm laborers.
They are young, well-deyeloped
men and fairly educated in
the Japanese language. They have
from $40 to $35 each, and consequently
cannot be denied admission into this
country as paupers. All Japanese passing
through this district are subjected to .
rigid examination here by the govern
ment's immigration inspectors.

men made the air nng with hammers.
For one writer or for twenty to describe
the details of the scene and action in this
largest building ever constructed is not to
be attempted. The building itself is COM
pieted, and the work being done today has
to do with the construction of booths.
houses and temples to hold displays. Ref
erence to the buildings in progress in this
big building may suggest to those who
have not been there only little affairs. but
when II is stated that the golden eagle of
Austria is perched on top of tower sew
enty feet in height. and when it is known
that New York jewelry firm has the noble
American bird on top of a column 100 feet
high, the subject will assume . proper
view to the mind.

Channel to BE Constructed In the Bay
and SnOhOmish River.

EVERETT. April 30.-[Special. while
Capt. McDougall, of the Steel BargeWorks.
was here he looked over the projected
harbor improvements with President
Hewitt. of the Everett Land Company.
They decided to recommend an extensive
system of dredging, involving the con-
struction Of channel 700 feet wide in the
bay extending around to the mouth of the
river, and then narrowing down to 800
feet. The channel will be protected by
piling on each side and filling in with the
dredger.
The channel will be continued around
into the Snohomish river to the head of
Steamboat slough. The latter is the one
used by the steamers in getting in and out
of the river. and the proposed improve
ment will reclaim the Old river channel.
which is now practically unnavigable by
reason of stumps and debris. The recon-
mendations of Capt. McDougall and Presi-
dent Hewitt will be laid before the land
company and an appropriation asked for
to begin WORK forthwith.
