CHICAGO. May so. - Decoration day

Worlds Fair grounds and the people began
coming through the gates earlier than

bers as the DAY progressed.

Central locomotive No. $50. which has the
record of the phenomenal speed of 112b
miles per hour.

Montana's famous solid silver statue OF
Justice was unveiled in the Mines and
Mining building to-day. l: is the statue
for which the actress Ada Rehan stood as
a model, aud by so doing created much
contention among her sisters of the profess
sion. The unwilling of the statue was the
event of the day at the White City, and
the great building in which the statue
stands was thronged with people eager to
see the magnificent work of art. While
the crowd was assembled the Cincinnati
band played national airs.
The opening address was by Major Mar
tin Maghinis of Montana, who spoke in
glowing terms Of the brilliant future be-
fore that Territory. Of her untold wealth,
the enterprise of her citizens and her Won
derful natural resources.
When he finished Mrs. Richards of
Montana stepped forward, and taking up
a small siken cord gave it gentle pull.

the silver image of Justice fell away and
exposed the statue for the first time to
public gaze. The crowd gave vent to wild
cheers, while the band played America"
When the applause died away Hon. J.
NJ. Quinn, editor of the Butte Miner. made
the closing address. He spoke OF the
statue as work of art, of how it came TO
be made, and how it represented the
wealth, enterprise and artistic tastes OF the
citizens of that Territory.
At the close of the exercises the Mon

friends and large number of exposition
officials and representatives of foreign
nations at luncheon.
Superintendent of Census Porter is in
the city, in compliance with telegram
from John Boyd Thatcher, chairman of
the Bureau of Awards. Porter said, this
evening: "In my opinion, Mr.. Thatcher
views have been misunderstood and mis-
represented, and if the contending parties
will only get together, face to face, within
the next day or two, plan entirely salts
factory 10 all classes of exhibitors will be
agreed on. and harmony restored"
Thatcher to-day had conference with
some of the foreign mmissioners who
told him that they would not consider any
proposition involving an examination of
exhibits by single judges. Their declara-
ton on that point was unconditional, the
French commissioner receding from the
single judge plan. and Offering to substitute
three judges In such groups as the COM
missioners might think important enough
for jury examination.
At te-day's session of the WoIld's
Medical Congress many women dele
gates from India were seen in the
quaint costumes of that country, side
by side with experts from Russia. There
were also Chinese experts in the art of
healing, wearing flowing robes, swarthy
delegates from the tropics and representa-
lives from all European countries. A feat
ure of the proceedings was an address by
Professor Scudder on Dirt as the princi-
pal cause of disease"
In the homeopathic section the chief
speaker was DR.. William Tod Helmutl of
New York, whose topic was surgery in the
homeopathic school. Many other delegates
were heard.
In the Dledico-climatology section the
trend of the discussion favored the theory
that frequent bathing was more necessary
in high attitudes than elsewhere.
