SMALL ATTENDANCE.

Tho Last Open Sunday of the Worlds Fair
a Failure-The Benefit Fund Increased
G5O,OOO-Novel Government Exhibit In
Preparation.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE last open
Sunday of the exposition did not show
any improvement upon other Sundays
In point of attendance, but as nearly
all pass holders paid the entrance fee
of fifty cents, the fund for the benefit
of the sufferers from the cold storage
fire was increased in substantial
way. The morning was uncomforta-
bly, warm and the sultry air in the
vast park made walking and sight
seeing laborious task. A shower at
noon, however, cooled the atmosphere
few degrees and during the after
noon the turnstiles at the pay gates
recorded the advent Of many visitors
who formed the principal crowds Of
the day. The pass gates were almost
entirely ignored, the holders Of the
Photographic privileges in nearly
every instance buying piece Of paste
board bearing the words: admit
one. Benefit sufferers from the cold
storage fire." or using their passes and
depositing silver half dollar in the
tin receptacle which met the eye just
inside the gate.
A space about twenty feet square in
the rotunda of the administration build
ing directly under the great dome was
enclosed by n strong iron fence yester'
day. To-day, work will be begun on
model of the United States treasury al
Washington to be made of Columbian
coins and erected within the enclosure
The work will consume several days
and when complete strong force oi
guards will guard the precious edifce
night and day.
The paid admissions to the fair yes
terday were 40, 1t is estimated
that the amount contributed to the re
lief fund by concessionaires from Sun
days receipts will amount to $1,000
which added to the proceeds from
ticket sales will swell the fund By
| about $50, 900.

The GERMAN ARMY BILL.
II Passes the Reichstag by n Majority
Sixteen-The Session Declared Closed.

IL Passes the Reichstag by q Majority OF
sixteen-The Session Declared Closed
BERLIN, July 1.-THE army bill was
placed on its final passage in the reich
stag Saturday afternoon. Count Won
Derdocken, leader of the Guelphs'
made strong speech against the meas
ure, basing his objections to it on the
theory that it would have the same de-
plorable consequences that followed
the war Of 1896 between Hanover and
Prussia, when, he declared, the legiti-
matist feeling of great section OF
Germany had been involved. The gov
ernment was doing the same thing
now. Such bill as the present could
not and should not be passed at the de-
mand of government that had not yet
won the confidence of the country and
which was weak even in the counte-
nance of its supporters.
Herr Bebel, leader of the social dem
ocrats, defended the French people, or
at least section of them, against the
insinuations that had been made to the
effect that they were the cause of the
governments wanting an increased
military force. II was not the French
workingmen, he said, who were ag-
gressivs. 1t was only the bourgeoise
who entertained the desire for revenge
against Germany. The continued de-
mands for increases in the German
army were caused solely by the annex
alton Of Alsace- Lorraine. II Germany
should be threatened with invasion by
foreign power it would be the Ger
man worlsingmen, who were socialists,
who would defend the soil, and not the
rotten bourgeoise Of Germany.
Herr Won Kardof supported the bill
by a speech in which he declared that
the measure was demanded to strength
en- the agrarian population in order to
stop socialist inroads. Nine Other
members spoke for and against the
measure and the final vote was ther
taken.
The bill was adopted by a majorit!
slightly larger than that given Friday
on its second reading, as 201 member
voted in favor of the passage OF thu
measure, while 1856 voted against II
After the bill had finally been adcpte'
the reichstag was declared closed.
The opposition organs contend tina
the majority of sixteen in favor OF tn
bill is not large enough TO cause tn
government TO exult especially as
was won by the chancellor givini
pledges to the argrarians and anti
Semites that will certainly give hin
trouble TO fulfil.
But the government, with reason
does exult, while its opponents fail I
conceal their chagrin. Vexation an
disappointment was plainly manifesto
at the passage of the bill. Rumor ha
it that the emperor will confer upo
c Chancellor Won Caprivi the dignity
y prince.
II the debate had been short and d.
corus, as was expected in official eli
cles, the emperor might have appeare
: in the house TO close the session. II
S stead Of closing the house in person /
gave that task TO Chancellor Won G.
priyi.
