Two and Perhaps Three Members Of the
kafser's Household Will Visit Chicago.
CHICAGO. July S.-Unoficiaf information has
been received from Germany to the effect that
two, and perhaps more, members of the
royal family will arrive in Chicago
early in September. Ernst Gun,her,
better known as the Duke Of Schles-
wig Holstein, is already making preparations
for his visit. The duke is brother of the EN-
press Of Germany. He will probably be &C
companied by Prince Heinrich, . brother Of
the emperor.
The chief object Of the trip, of course, is to
see the exposition. but the royal visitors are
especially interested in the German section
Herr Wermuth's work for the ex-
position has been SO highly praised
by the press Of Germany that much
curiosity is felt among all classes to see what
the fa'serland is showing at the fair. This
feeling extends to the royal family. 1t is not
improbable that Herr Wermuth, who will soon
return to Germany, will come back to Chicago
as an honorary escort to the royal visitors.
At their meeting yesterday afternoon the for
eign commissioners received the apology of
Davis for the arrest of DIR. Emil Hass-
Ter. the delegate Of Paraguay, by Co.
lumbar guard The commissioners served
notice on the officers that a suitable apology
must be made for the arrest or
they would follow the example of DR.. Hass-
Ter and veil their exhibits. The explana-
tions made public yesterday were en-
tirely satisfactory to the foreigners. A COM
mittee of six was appointed to call on Director
General Davis and make some arrangements by
which foreign exhibitors could sell duplicates
OF their exhibits and also to learn whether the
collection of customs duties on sales 80 made
could not be simplifed.
One week from today the judges who are to
make awards to exhibitors at the fair
will begin their work. few of the
foreign judges have already arrived in Chicago
and are quietly inspecting the exhibits
in different sections. Most of them
are now aboard ocean steamers bound TO New
York, Boston or San Francisco and will reach
Chicago Thursday or Friday Of next week. The
German judges sailed last Sunday and are due
in Chicago Friday evening.
Most OF the German judges are experts of
national reputation. many of them having

portaton department on account of his init
mate knowledge of military armament.

been satisfactorily explained. are in
Guided IN the transportation department. II
was for the purpose of making sure that Krupp
received due credit for his display that Mai.
drosser was selected as judge in that depart
ment.
The English judges also sailed early this
week and will reach Chicago about next
Thursday. TEeY number forty. Belgium's
quota has already arrived The French
judges, who come merely to make a
report on the different exh bits to their
own government will arrive about the same
time. On account of the French exhibits hav-
