CHICAGO, June 9O.-The foreign COM
mlssioners at the worlds fair have
written letter to Director General
Davis demanding that the Exposition
company make suitable apology to
Commissioner Hassler, of Paraguay,
who was arrested by a Columbian
guard several days ago. The foreign
commissioners held a meeting this
afternoon in the administration build
Ing, at which the arrest of DR.. Hassler
was discussed at length. When the par
tlcularS OF his arrest had been heard,
and when it had been learned
that the exposition officials had made no
apology for the indignity it was de-
clded 10 demand one. Director General
Davis has not as yet received the letter.
and refused to express himself in regard
to the demand the foreign commission
ers decided to make at the meeting this
afternoon.
The total attendance at the fair yes-
terday was 1T, l99,of which 11O,SS2 were
paid admissions. The total admissions
at the centennial for the corresponding
day were 1926, of which 1854 were
paid. The paid admissions today were
1886.
a number of foreign commissioners
to the exposition left Chicago by
special Wagner palace car on the NIichf-
gan Central railroad this evening. as
the guests of M. p. Handy, en- trip to
Niagara Falls, and for forty-eight
hours sojourn at that place.
Ladies in Doubt.
The executive committee of the board
of lady managers is in doubt as to its
powers to ratify the appointment of
women on the jury of awards For
this reason a special meeting of the Z
board of lady managers has been
called. Mrs. Palmer has called for ad-
vice on the subject from the legal de-
partment of the worlds far. 1t IS
called, will continue to meet all
summer, and there are those WHO
see in the sale of the Isabella quarters
q source of revenue to defray the ex-
penses of the meeting. The sentiment
of an all-summer meeting does not
unanimously prevail and many will
oppose this action. The Isabella
quarters will arrive next week and will
be put on sale for 81 each for the first
let the demand regulate the
price, which it is expected will
be greatly in advance of this
figure. The ladies expect to realize s4O,-
600 from the sale of the Isabella quar-
ters, and it will be decided at the next
meeting the disposition to be made.
OF this amount. So far two plans
have been suggested for the
expenditure of the appropriation. One

the board; the other is proposition to
make the profits realized from the sale
of 25-cent pieces nucleus for fund
to be used in erecting III this country a
permanent ;
Memorial Building
to be the storehouse of woman's work
and record of the progress of the fair
sex throughout all ages. TO such a
building it Is proposed to remove many
of the valuable exhibits to be seen .
in the woman's building at Jackson >
Park. 1t will be a permanent monH-
ment to the greatness of the fair sex
and all aid to the women of the coming
generation. 1t is OH the proper dHpoSi-
tod OF the money that these may be .
lively times during the proposed ses-
sion.
The committee on awards of the
national commission has practically
ceded everything the board OF lady
managers have asked in regard to the
women judges. The request of the
board was based entirely on the facts
as submitted by the various depart
ments. A call has been issued for q
meeting of the subcommittee of the
executive committee of the board OF
lady managers for July 5.
Canadians will take the fair tomor-
row, as it is Dominion Day.
Patriotic services will be observed at
the fair Sunday, and will be conducted
by Fort Dearborn garrison No. 81,
regular army and navy union.
There will be meeting Of the ma
riOnal commission tomorrow.
AS the result of disagreement be-
tween the Wisconsin board OF worlds
fair managers and the Wisconsin fish
commission. Wisconsin's fish ex-
hiOit in the fisheries building is to
be taken out and the fish replaced
in the waters of the state. The
boards action in not paying over the
money appropriated tor the exhibit to
the commission in lamp sum, and iu-
sisting upon acquisitions or vouchers
for the smallest items was mainly in
strumental in bringing about the with
draWal.
