WILL OPEN ON SUNDAY
The Worlds Fair Directory
 Rule Sustained.
NATIONAL COMMISSIONERS FAIL

After Much Debate on the Subject the
 Final Vote Was Reached 31 in Favor
 of Opening to 27 Against It-Methodisf
 Exhibit to Be Withdrawn.
 CHICAGO, May 24-The Fair will be oren next Sunday. The National. Com mission by vote of 31 to 27, adopted the minority report of it's Judiciary Commit tee, which favored Sunday opening
 The Commission numbers 109 members and under common rules it would require y votes to decide the matter under dis
 ,ussion. Only 57 commissioners, bare quorum, were in attendance. It was de cided to limit the discussion to four hours and d half-two hours for the advocates of the two reports and two hours and hali for general discussion.
 The talk was begun by Commissioner
 Eibock, of Iowa, who spoke in favor of opening the Fair on Sunday. He was fol
 lowed by Mr. Burton in the same vein.
 Commissioner Massey of Delaware, who draftei the majority report opposing the
 opening, said that divine law forbade
 She boeaking of the Sabbath, and that
 :his was not question of human law.
 but one for each individual commissioner to
 take to himself, his conscience, and his
 God
 After recess Hundley of Alabama, Burton
 and others continued the debate. Gen. St. Clair, the leading champion of
 the minority, formally moved that the minority report be substituted for the majority report, and on this the vote was 50 to 27.
 Then followed motion that the rule declaring for an open Sunday Fair be adopted, and this was passed by 30 to 27. Commissioner Massey took exception, as serting that to adopt rule required 50 votes, majority of the Commission. Vice-President De Young, who presided in the absence of President Palmer, took water on this decision and sided with Mas sey on the latter's claim, but decided that the minority report was adopted. This ended the matter and coinmittel the Commission to Sunday opening under the act of Congress which says that the Directory shall make rules for the Govern ment of the Exposition, subject to mOdi l fcation by the Commission. As the latter did not modify the rule l rendered it hy the director, the decision | had tiIe effect of placing the affair jusC as l if the Commission had had nothing to dc ! with it.
 The only chance now for the Sabbatari- | ans is the assistance of the United States | courts.
 l The weather was most unfriednly to- day, yet a big crowd was at the Fair, the | main event being the dedication of the l beautiful German building.

NoN-PAEr1sAN APPOINTMENTS.

We hesitate in giving credence to a telegram from Washington that Mir Cleveland is formulating a measure to be presented to the next congress pro- viding that appointments shall not be made upon partisan grounds. Accord ing to this statement the ability of the applicant and bis fitness for the place should Ee considered, politics never.
 We do not believe the story because MT Cleveland brides himself on his democracy. It was only last week that he refused to appoint Mir Myrick, a Georgia editor, otherwise unobjection- able, because MT Myrick in his paper called MT Cleveland mugwump. If his distaste for mugwumpery is so great It is scarcely probable that he would seek to set up system of appointments fash toned after that of England and dear to every mugwump heart.
 The system would be undemocratic. Appointments under it would be for life or during good behavior. It would tend to the building up of an office holding class which might become hereditary, for nothing would be more natural under such circumstances than that the son should succeed the father.
 The democratic party has been kind to MT Cleveland. It has elected him to various offices because he is democrat and in our opinion it believes that he should reciprocate in using the mighty power with which it has entrusted hin to appoint democrats to office, and ir forwarding the interests of democracy The democratic congress has alwayI been loyal to the president, but we doubt if it would be led by him to enac such policy into law.
 There is an impression abroad that the adoption of such 8 measure by { democratic administration and a demo cratic congress, at a time when nearly all the offices are filled by republicans would have a disastrous effect on tn, future of the democratic party.

THE announcement of the Blaine Memorial association at Augusta, Me, that it will accept no subscriptions to the Blaine fund from people outside of that state unless they are natives of Maine, shows a worthy feeling of native pride. Mir Blaine, however, was in such true sense a national leader, and his work and fame were so identified with national affairs, that this determi- nation will be heard with regret. It is to be hoped that it will not prevent the erection of a memorial beftting the illustrious patriot.

REHRING SEA CASE
Sir Charles Russell Resumes His Argu
 InCut in Paris.

PARIS, May 24.-The Behring Sea Fri 5unaI of Arbitration resumed it's session at noon. Sir Charles Russell took up again the question, of property in the seals. He argued that unless the United States owned the individual seals it was absurd to claim property in the herd. Sir Charles pro ceeded to read extracts from the British Stenographic report of the arguments on international law by Mir J. c. Carter, ol counsel for the United States. and Sir Charles included in the reading the inter- ruptions by the president, Baron de COur- eel. during Mir. Carter's address.
 Mr. Carter was greatly irritated. and hotly urged that his own revised report of his arguments ought to be quoted, instead of the British report.
 Sir Charles Russell contended that MT. Carter, in admitting that the United States had granted to the Indians the right oi seal catching, had given away the whole legal proposition

FIG. VIEW OF BARN.
separated from the manure pit by y
tight wall 4 perspective view of the
barn is shown in Fig. /.
Such barn is cxcellently adapted
for the keeping OF sheep, three sides of
it being devoted to the pens for these,
while the feeding of all the sheep can
be done from the main floor; or, it can
be very we'll made to serve the purpose
of dairy barn, with silo in one
corner, extending from a cemented
floor in the cellar to the hay and
fodder floor. When arranged for
sheep, the pen can be advantageously
arranged, as shown in Fig ., each pen
having communication with the
neighboring pen, and also with the
feeding floor.
An inside feeding rack may be used,
into which hay and other fodder can be
pitched directly from the feeding floor,
and this. in some respects, is the best
plan to pursue. for 1t permits o tight
