Congress Arriving Very Slowly at
the National Capital.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-There was surprise
in store this morning for some of the gen.
lemen who are prominently connected
with the management of the Worlds
Fair. 1t will be remembered that during
the agitation of opening the gates of the
big show on the Sabbath an action was
brought in the State Superior Court here
restraining the directors from closing
jackson Park on Sundays. This case
was intended to offset the injunction
proceedings instituted in the Federal
courts forbidding the Worlds Fair peo-
pie from opening the exposition on the
day in question, and the matter came up
before Judge Stein.
Judge Stein has decided that Jackson
Park is a public recreation ground and
the people could not be excluded from it at
any time. When the directors closed the
grounds Sunday, July 23d, the fact was
brought to the attention of the court, the
result being the somewhat unexpected
developments of this morning.
The gentlemen were cited for contempt
of court in closing the gates, and the
court ordered Directors George, Hutch
inson, Henrotin, McNally and Kerfoot to
be fined 1000 each.
Director Lawson received a fine of S100
on the ground that he voted to close the
gates in the belief that the Injunction had
lapsed.
Director General Davis was fined $3.50.
President HigginsbOtham and National
Commissioners Massey, st. Clair and
Forbes were discharged on the ground
that they merely carried out the direc-
tions of the management.
The attorney for the fair prayed for an
appeal from the decision, and at the con-
clusion of the arguments Judge Stein
granted the appeal.
Pending the hearing in the higher court,
however, the parties were required to
give bond TO obey the injunction.
Chief Buchanan, who is in charge of the
stock exhibit at the Worlds Fair, has an
nounced the result of the cheese contest.
which has been in progress there for sew
eral weeks. The test is pronounced the

Quoted and the most thorough ever made.

cided victory for the Jerseys. Milk in

Iowa. The four next best are Jerseys.
Now that the fair is half over the Coun-
Gil of Administration and National Com
mission have become convinced that
heroic measures must be adopted to in
duce the people to come in crowds LARGE
enough to insure financial success. They
are making every effort to stop the leaks
and create new attractions.
With regard to the financial position of
the company now. President Higgin
botham said to-day it was impossible to
give exact figures concerning the in
debtedness yet. However, when they
can say that with the best half of the ex-
position season before them, they are ont
of debt, they think it is doing well. In
side of five days, said Higginbotham, we
will have all the funds necessary to paw
every debt we owe. The assertion that
one million dollars would not put us
even. is entirely false.
To-day the national union held cele-
bration at the exposition grounds, fully
three thousand members from all parts
of the country being present.
The total attendance to-day was lis. .657.
of which 81, ,45O were paid.
