CHICAGO, May 26.-The worlds fair
will be open Sunday. The officials in
charge are making extensive prepsrs-
tions to receive immense crowds, and If
the weather is pleasant they estimate
the attendance will be great.
After hearing arguments all day in
the Clingman case to prevent the direc-
tors from closing the gates on Sunday,
Judge Stein of the superior court took
the matter under advisement until
Monday.
The federal district attorney an
nounced tonight that his bill for an in
junction to keep the gates closed will be
filed tomorrow, but he does not antici-
next week. A temporary restraining
order will not be asked for pending ar
guments. The suit will be heard before
Circuit Judges Wood and Jenkins and
District Judge Grosscup, and it i6 likely
Chief Justice Fuller OF the United
States supreme court will occupy seat
on the bench.
A PROSPEROUS MONTH AHEAD.
June bids fair to be a prosperous
month for the fair. From the number
OF societies and organizations that have
announced in advance their intention of
visiting the fair during that month, it is
estimated that the daily attendance will
be enormously increased. There are to
be number Of special days selected for
some particular observance of different
%sa,ru1,k;ao a4O onA aaoh 0f
these will bring crowds.
A PLEASANT INCIDENT.
A pleasant international incident to-
day was the the Inauguration of Mrs.
Ernest Bart's Donegal village. Among
those who took part in the exercises
were President Higinbotham of the
worlds fair directory, Attorney-G General
Maloney of Illinois, John Finerty, Post
master Sexton and a number of repre-
sentatives of the Catholic church. Arch
bishop Feehan was unavoidably absent,
but sent the chancellor of the diocese,
Father Maldoon. Speeches were made
and musical programme rendered.
THE woMAN's BUILDING.
The New York room in the woman's
building was also thrown open. 1t is
beautifully furnished and decorated and
has library of 5000 volumes. Every
thing is the handiwork of women. In.
cident to the opening was the unveiling
OF marble portrait bust of Harriet
Beecher Stowe.
The French section of the woman's
building was also opened. 1t is very
beautiful and attractive in every way,
representing q modern French salon.
The furnishings are the finest, most
costly and artistic obtainable in Paris.
The day WAS ushered in with cold,
raw weather, diminishing the attend
snce in comparison with what it would
have been with clear skies and COM
Portable temperature.
NATIONAL COMMISSION ADJOURNED.
The national worlds fair commission,
after short sharp debate, and without
transacting any other business, to-day
adjourned till July 1st. Whether or not
the threatened Sunday closing litigation
had anything to do with the action, did
not appear on the surface. 1t was
claimed by those in favor of adjourn
ment, that it was next to impossible to
get quorum for the transaction of busi-
ness, therefore continuance of the ses-
was unnecessary expense.
Massey's resignation as a member of
the judiciary committee was accepted.
