President williams says Too Much Has
Been Mad OF the Western Failures.
New York, May 13.-Speaking to-
day OF the Western bank failures, and
attempts made in some quarters to dis
credit local banks, George g. Williams,
President OF the Clearing House Com
mittee, and Of the Chemical Bank,
said: "There has been an altogether
too much made OF the situation. All
that is wanted now isQuiet. The west
ern failures are adequately explained
in the method on which they did ousi-
ness. The ease with which this ousi-
ness community sustained the losses OF
last week makes them grounds Of conh-
dence rather than anything else The
losses must have been enormous, yet
see how quickly aud how comparatively
easily they have been taken. London
cannot hurt US much, n any, not only
because il is particularly tight Of means
10 affect US, but because the relation OF
financial standing and resource Of Eng
hand and the United States have
changed. We are stronger LOW"

CHICAGO, May 13.-When the gates
were thrown open at the Worlds Fair
this morning the prospects FOR large
attendance was anything but promising.
A chilly wind was blowing, the atmos-
phere was damp and dull, leaden hued
clouds overcast the sky.
But the threatening, unpleasant
weather did not seem to frighten the
visitors. They began to arrive early,
and as the day advanced the arrivals
advanced at the rate OF strlcai
progression until it began to look as II
the last day OF the second week OF the
Fair was TO be the banner day up TO
date.
Towards noon the wind died away,
the dismal clouds shifted and the sun
came out and before night 1t was esti-
mated that there were from 10000 to
GO, 900 visitors on the grounds.
A feature was the number OF school
children who visited the fair to-day.
1t was their regular weekly holiday,
and thousands OF them took advantage
of it by taking in the great exhloltlon
at Jackson Park.
A good deal of interest is taken In
the number OF visitors who have paid
admission daily since it started as COM
pared TO the attendance during sim
liar period at the Centennial at Phila-
delphia. The daily attendance autho--
itatively furnished by the bureau of ad-
missions shows that already 1t is much
larger than that of the Centennial at
the commencement Of the season. The
total attendance at the Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition during the first eleven
days is nearly $4,000 greater than at
the Centennial during the correspond
ing period.
The National Commissioners had a
lively session to-day. The chief topic
for discussson was the action OF the
local directors regarding the opening OF
the Fair on Sundays. The question
came up when Secretary Edmonds, Of
the local directory, came in with mes
sage from President HigRinbotham,
containing a report of the action on the
Sunday question, taken by the directors
at q meeting last night.
Commissioner Burton, OF Kansas,
moved to refer the report to the Com

WHOLESALE SMUGGLING.
Maine Yankees Haul in Produce and hum
from Over the Canadian Border.

BANGOR, Me-, May ia revenue
officer states that there are scores OF
men in Eastern Maine whose sole occu-
patton is smuggling. There are hun
dreds OF farmers, otherwise honest, who
evade the payment OF customs upon
produce.
Many merchants and spectators
make regular business OF dealing In
smuggled goods. Almost every night
great wagons are rumbIing across the
State line, trayersing the many ROADS
that lead into the Great Houlton turn
pike.
Said Deputy Collector G. NJ. b.
Sprague, OF Vanceboro, to-day: Even
IL there were enough deputies to touch
elbows al! along the Maine border, still
there would be smuggling carried on.
You can imagine to what extent the
abuse prevails at present, especially as
about 300 miles Of border are TO oe
looked after by twelve men,"
A deputy from the Houlton region
says that more rum is rolled in over
the Houlton turnpike in the course OF
year than was imported into Nav York.
The liquor smugglers do an immense
business. and captures are not very
freouent

May Sot Visit Chicago-The weather LOO
Severe for Her Delicate Health.
WASHINGTON, MAJ 13.-There Is at
i ast a possibility that the Princess
Infanta Eulalia, of Spain. will not visit
the United States and attend the
Worlds Columbian Exposition under
the invitation OF The President. She
has started on the voyage which was
intended to bring her to these shores,
where she was expected to arrive on the
10Th inst. She has proceeded as far on
her way as Havana, but that she Will
continue In accordance with the pro-
gramme originally prepared is not yet
decided. The matter was the subject OF
a conference to-day between Secretary
of State Gresham and Senor Muruage,
the Spanish Minister.
Senior Muruaga said In conversation
regarding the Princess's plans that Her
Highness was person OF quite delicate
constitution and that the care OF her
health was her first consideration.
Several years ago." Senior Muruaga
continued, "the Princess was CON PEELED
TO 60 to the baths in the Pyreenes where
she remained at intervals for years,
and any undue exertioh or excitement
is to be avoided"
The Princess has probably read OF
the bad weather in which the prelimi-
naries OF the opening OF the Fair were
conducted and is timid about venturing
into a climate where she Is likely to en-
counter similar conditions.

The New York Sun has the fol.
lowing to say of the controlling in
fuence of the South in Congress
and it is the vote of this section,
beyond any question that made
Cleveland President:
."Of the 45 Democratic United
States Senators, 80 are from South
ern States and Is from the Eastern,
Western, New England, Pacific
and Northwestern States. There
is not a Republican Senator from
any one of the fifteen States of the
South. If there were a Southern
Republican in the Senate the
Democracy would now be without
a working majority in that body;
if there were two Republican or
Populist Senators from the South
the Democrats would be in a
minority. The new Senate is COM
posed of 45 Democrats, 80 Repub-
licans, and 4 Populists, all of the
latter being chosen from the West
ern States.
"The new House of Representa-
tives, when organized, will consist
of 213 Democrats, 131 Republicans,
and 12 Populists, the latter all
hailing from Western States. At
the late election 1875 Congressman
were chosen in Southern States.
Of these 120 were Democrats and
6 Republicans. Excluding the
States of the South from the COM
putatlon, the next Houae of Rep
resentatives would consist of 1876
Republicans, 103 Democrats, and
- Populists.
"The decisive influence of the
votes of the Southern States in the
determination of the Presidency
is already we'll known. Mr.. Cleve-
land received 277 electoral votes,
of which the South contributed
1853. Outside of that section Mr..
Harrison's electoral vote was 145,
Mr.. Cseveland's 124, and Gen.
Weavcr's IL. Nor can we examine
the popular vote without arriving
at the same conclusion, namely,
that the solidity of the Democratic
South was a determining force in
deciding the election; for, exclu-
sive Of the Southern States, Mr..
Ha-'-ison's majority over Mr..
Cleveland was 447,O00."
