CHICAGO, June I8.-There was no wild
rush to the White City to-day. and the
sun indicated almost the noon hour be-
fore the crowd began to pour in at the
gates. In the makeup it differed little
from those of previous Sundays. Work
ingmen, many with their wives, families
or sweethearts, took solid comfort in the
wonderous sights before them. If any
one imagines the wage-worker does not
appreciate fine paintings and works of
art, he should see the multitude of
artisans that fingered in the halls of the
fine arts building throughout the after
noon and far into the evening. When
evening came thousands crowded the adj
ministration plaza and listened to the
music while eating luncheons. The
exposition buildings themselves were
not the only places patronized, for the
wonders of Midway Plaisance drew even
larger crowd. The Ferris wheel at
tracted great attention, and the captive
balloon carried it's full quota each trip.
The Ferris wheel is to be formally
opened to the public next Wednesday
with great ceremony.
To-day the admissions numbered all
most 70, 900, comprising 81, $50 adults. 3. Oq4
children and l6, S36 officials and EMPLOYEES.
Chief Justice Fuller yesterday morn

Circuit Court, which issued an Injunction
restraining the directors of the Worlds
Fair from opening the gates on SUNDAYS.
He decides for the United States Court of

The courtroom was crowded, and the

only appeal is to the Supreme Conrt

the fair will be ended. The opinion rem

to the lack of time. A full decision will

The opinion began by overruling the
motion of the Governments counsel to

on the ground of non-jurisdiction of the
Appellate Court as untenable. 1t was

BENICIA, June 1S.-Arthur Yorke and
Charles Trimmer, two young English
men, who about year ago left their
ships here and went into the salmon fish
ing business near the cut off at the mouth
OF the Sacramento River, have been
missing since Monday last.
1orke. in company with a Greek,
threw out his net near that of one Greg
gerio Aleck. The latter objected to the
close proximity of Yorke's net and row
ensued, Aleck boarding Yorke's boat
and beating him into insensibility with a
tiller. Yorkes partner demonstrated
with Aleck, when the latter choked him
and threatened to beat him.
When Yorke regained consciousness
he and his partner went ashore and
4orke made arrangements to come here
to have Aleck arrested. His partner,
fearing Aleck, refused to accompany
him, so he induced Trimmer to start
with him in his fishing boat. 1t is said
that Aleck followed soon after.
On Wednesday Yorke's net and por-
ton of his boat were found in the straits
near here, but neither he nor his friend
Trimmer have been heard of since, and it
looks as if they met their death either
through Alexis treachery or by drown
ing.
Aleck passed through Benicia Tuesday
on his way to San Francisco, and has not
been heard of since. Constables Malone
and Hyde went up to the cutoff yester-
day to investigate the matter and brought
the partners of Aleck and Yorke down.
Fishermen at the cutoff are of the opin-
ion that Aleck has made away with both
Yorke and Trimmer.

Several OF the Crack Runners Have

New YORK, June 1S.-A week ago the
Suburban handicap, which will be run
at Sheepshead Bay on Tuesday, gave
promise of being the most brilliant con-
test of the kind seen in years, but in the
short space of seven days Tammany, His
Highness, Diablo and in all probability
Pessara have gone amiss, and will not
face the starter for the Coney Island
Jockey Clubs big prize. The racing
public must not imagine, however, that
the disabling of the horses named will
make the Suburban certainty for Lamp
lighter, as Lorillard's champion carries
129 pounds and meets such dandy horses
as Banquet, Charade, DR.. Hasbrouck,
Mars, The Pepper and LowIander.
Everybody admits that Banquet will be
Lamplighter's most dangerous opponent.
Some think Charade has chance, but
others maintain that the distance is a fur
long too far for him. There has always
been the gravest doubts as to DIR. Has

so of Lowlander. Morris representa-
tive, Mars, is dead game, and is in the race

The Ownership of an Island and the
Boundary of Alaska.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Professor T.
G. Mendenhall, on the part of the United
States, and Commissioner King, on the
part of Great Britain, will shortly deter
mine the vexed question as to the legal
owner of Pope's Folly Island, off the
coast of Maine, near the international
boundary. In view of MendenhalPs dis
covery that the island, according to the
first chart of Great Britain, was conceded
TO the United States, he believes he will
have no trouble in settling the question
IN favor of this country. When this is
settled the only other important matter
between the two countries is the determi-
nation of the boundary line between
Alaska and the British possessions. A
party which left here in March last was
unable to accomplish much. and it is not
believed that the boundary line Will be
marked for a year because of the un-
favorable weather.

ATToRNEY-GENERAL,s OPINION.
Jute Bags Must Be Sold to Actual Con-

Jute Bags Must Be Sold to Actual Con-
sumers Only.
SAN FRANCISCO, June l8.-The prob
lem with which the Warden of San Ouen-
tin and the Prison Directors have been
wrestling for some in regard to the con-
struction of the law adopted at the last
session of the Legislature governing the
disposition OF jute bags manufactured by
prison labor at San Quentin has been
solved by the Attorney General in a de-
cision rendered yesterday by Deputy
Oregon Sanders.
He declares that the prison authorities
cannot sell such goods except to actual
consumers. The Act so states in every
section of it, as follows: "They shall
contine the sales to consumers direct,
1.-The Warden, after June 18th, may fill
orders for larger quantities to actual con-
sumers.
There must be an affidavit accompany
ing the orders to the effect that the goods
are for for individual and personal use
of the applicant
lin view of these provisions" the
opinion reads, sit cannot be held that the
provision that orders of farmers shall
take precedence over all others would
authorize the sale of such goods to mer-
chants or to anyone who was not an actual
consumer. There is nothing in the Con-
stitution prohibiting the Legislature from
passing such law.'
The above opinion was rendered in
compliance with the earnest request of
the Warden, and there is no question
that the intention of the author and the
Legislature in passing the bill was to pre-
vent persons other than actual consumers
from dealing in the product Of prison
labor. The law is somewhat ambiguous
in one or two instances. In every sec
ton, however, as the A Acknowledgement
says, it refers explicitly to actual con-
sumers, and that means the grain-pro-
ducers or those who use jute bags for coal
or for sand in the protection Of prop
erty from overflow by water. At all
events, it was aimed to prevent extortion
from the dealers who combine to corner
the market and put the cost of grain sacks
above the price at which they might be
purchased direct from the prison.
This opinion will relieve the prison au-
thorities from the embarrassing situation
in which they have been placed by the
dealers who have been making applica-
tons for the purchase of goods.
