The Worlds Fair Local Directors
Adopt Another Rule.
Everything 60 Be Open on Sunday-Money
Received from the Government to Be
Returned Government Exhib-
It's VIII Close.
WIDE OPEN GATES.

CHICAGO, May 17.-The directors OF
the Worlds Columbian exposition de-
cided Tuesday to abrogate their con-
tract with congress by which they
bound themselves to close the fair on
Sunday in consideration of an appro-
priation Of 81, 10000 The money
will be returned to the govern
ment and hereafter the fair will be
opened Sundays. This course was
decided upon at special meeting of
the directors. Most of the directory
were dissatisfied with the plan adopted
at their last meeting by which it was
proposed to open the grounds Sundays
while closing the buildings containing
exhibits. Tuesdays action was prac-
tically unanimous, but two directors
out of thirty.six voting against the
proposition.
THE NEW RESOLUTION.
BY the terms of the resolution
adopted the machinery will be closed
down on Sunday, but in every other
respect the fair will be open in all de-
partments the same as on secu-
lar days. But s1,929,1 100 of the
appropriation originally made by
congress has been turned over to
the exposition company and this amount
is to be returned to the national treas
ury after the debts of the exposition
have been paid. A rule embodying
these points will be submitted to the
national commission for approval
What action this body will take is
problematical as mere working quo
rum of the members is at present in the
city. In any event it is the evident pur-
pose Of the local directory to open the
fair Sundays even at the expense of q
rupture with the national body.
GOVERNMENT EXHIBITS.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Attorney Cen
eral Olney has rendered an opinion in
which he holds that the laws of con-
gress providing for the worlds fair
prohibit the opening of the branch
post office located in the post Office de-
partment exhibit on Sundays In ac-
cordance with this opinion the post
office and other government exhibits
will probably be closed on Sundays.

New YORK, May IA special from
Fort Scott, Kan, says: Hepler, Craw-
ford county village, with a population
of 800, was reduced to ashes early Tues
day morning. 1t is almost certain that
the fire was started by the Land
League of Allen, Crawford
and Bourbon counties, which a
few years ago was brought
to national notice by it's murders and
wholesale thefts. Several of the law
lawless members are now in the peni-
tertiary. Hepler was the stronghold
of the anti-leaguers The league was
organized several years ago for the pur-
pose of protecting its members. against
the usurpation of land by the railroads
and new settlers. 1t was supposed that
the league had disbanded.

General Business Bears Up Well Despite
Numerous Failures.

Numerous Failures.
New YORK, May 13.--R. u. Dun q
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
1.-The smash in the indus trial stocks week
ago. the failure of some firms and OF the Ma.
tional Cordage company and the largest decline
in stocks known In any week since 1879, have
been followed by surprisingly little disturbance
Business has shown remarkable soqndness ana
strength under such strain. Bank failures at
Chicago andIndianapolis and rumors OF others
reject large losses through Chicago specular
tons in real estate and grain, and at Ind1anap-
oils through the failure Of the Premier Steel
company, but commercial credits are not as yet
materially affected Interior money markets
are growing tighter and more cautious, but no
such stringency is yet seen as to check general
trade, which appears to have improved. On
easiness is caused at Indianapolis by the failure
of steel works and bank and money is close.
At Detroit collections and prospects are lit
tie better.
'1rhe volume Of trade at Chicago is satisfac-
tory, though somewhat disturbed by financial
troubles and retail distribution is not up to ex-
pectations. There is a heavy demand for money
and accommodations are somewhat d1h1cult
collections being slow. Receipts OF wheat arc
very large, $50 per cent. above last years.
milwaukee reports close collections and
money scarce. At Minneapolis trade Improves.
The -four output is large, with heavy foreign
BILE weather ana improving trade. The volume
OF trade at St Louis is heavy shoe factories
working extra time, and trade in dry goods is
excellent, with easy collections.
Speculation has lifted wheat two cents,
though the crop report is less gloomy than was
expected Corn has slightly advanced and pork
products largely. Cotton is unchanged exports
in April having been g. coo 600 less in value and
1900 600 pounds less in quantity than last year
Oil is one and one-half cents lower, exports also
declining All exports from New York have
been g. l00, 600 less for the last two weeks than
last year, while imports show an increase OF
s., 100 600 for one week Of May
'sWhile the failures in the United States and
Canada for the week were 2so in number,
against l75 last year, and in the United States
alone 275 against $50, there were only eleven
with rating over 100000 From S200s000 to $500,
600 there were five, from $500 600 to $500 600 only
two, one from s5Oo, 600 to $4,000, and two with
rating over ST., 600. Considering the extraor-
binary pressure in stock and money markets
the report indicates greater soundness than
could have been expected.

Ex-senator ingalls, Of Kansas is
not an anarchist, but he certainly
does not take a very rosy view OF the
condition which the money con-
tractionists are bringing this country
to by reason Of their unholy war upon
its productive industries. As Mr..

through his hat, his views possess
more than ordinary Significance. In
an interview on the financial sltua-
ton the other day be said:
"This day is balmy and sanshiny
in comparison with the clouds and
storms just ahead Of us. The result
will be the redistribution Of the assets
of the country. The millionaire Of
today will occupy the pauper hut,
and the pauper in the near future
will ride in the chariot OF the million

Thousands OF people are walking the

birds of the air have nests, but the
Colorado tramp has nowhere to lay
his head. On every street corner in
Denver goes up the piteous cry for
bread. In Wall street the piteous

two panicky conditions come together

and anarchy will follow"

THE SILVER PARTY.

By what is taking place concerning
the subjects of silver and finance gen.
orally can be seen what will ere long
produce union of all the friends of
bimetallic money and others wanting
a fuller provision made for currency
than is now existing. The operation
of building party of politics of such
portion of the people is fast culmi-
mating and when it is perfected the
party will be so large it can elect the
next president and probably a ma
ioritv Of the lower branch OF congress.
We have no purpose whatever to dis
cuss political subjects or to fill the
columns of the paper with such dis
cussions, but the fact that such
party is coming into power is appar-
-e-rTu to all who have interest in the
present position of finances, and it
concerns the money OF the country
more than any other interest of the
people. We have few friends in the
silver party at this period, for its
members are suspicious of a paper
published in this city, no matter what
its position on the question of silver
may be. We are not seeking favor
or friendship from such a class of
people, nor do We want any place in
politics for the paper. All we wish
TO offer on the question OF party is the
mere fact that by the opposition by
banks and a great class of the people
to the full use of silver in the money
Of the country, they are provoking a
great purpose on the part OF those
they oppose to struggle for control
Of the government, and it is our opin-
ion the new party will thrive greatly
by the present contest by which its
members are more affected than anv
other class, save banks and capitalists
having plenty in their possession.
The number of the silver people is
four-fifths OF the population OF the
country, and they can, il they will,
make a clean sweep OF two-thirds of
the states, and it is probable they
will do this in the campaign for pres;
dent and members of congress. Before
the session OF congress is adjourned
this party will find its full strength,
and after it is seen it can make its
own place for silver and in all other
financial matters it will be able to
dictate its terms and will do so.
The past congress, though possess
ing majority of silver men, failed to
pass free coinage bill or to do any act
itself concerning the money OF the
country, for the reason that many of
the party were afraid they would
make mistakes and produce more
trouble for themselves in the future.
BY the further discussion of the ques-
ton before the people they have be-
come more informed, and the present
financial troubles Will far more con-
vince them that only by their own
power can they correct what they be-
lieve to be wrong in national finances
They are now arousing a formidable
party which is to grow to its full ex-
tent and have thousands Of members

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

ABsURDLY TANGLED.
The Ford Theatre Disaster Gets Bad
ly Mixed up in Court.

The Supreme court of the District
of Columbia, on yesterday, dismissed
Col. Ainsworth's petition for man.
damus, against the Deputy Coroner OF
the District, on two grounds, first
holding that the Deputy Coroner is
not legal officer. This invalidates
the inquest as far as held. Second
that the right of a person to be pres
ent at an inquest in person or by
counsel is discretionary with the cor
oner, and therefore not subject for
mandamus.
In reference to the Supreme court
of the District of Columbia that there
is no such officer of the District of
Columbia as deputy coroner DIR.
Schaffer, who had been conducting the
inquest at Wizards hall IN that sup
posed capacity, Immediately adjourn
ed proceedings until tomorrow at II.
A curious point now developed is
that no dead body has been viewed by
legally constituted coroner's Jury.
Unless one of the injured victims still
lingering shall die it may be necessary
to exhume body.
1t can readily be seen therefore,
that the examination into the cause of
the Ford theatre horror has now
reached stage, where, as far as so
sad and terrible an event can
be mads to so appear, it Is
almost ridiculous. The court on
yesterday, as stated above, decided
in the case of the application of Aims
worth for mandamus requiring the
coroner to admit him to the inquest,
that the coroner could exclude any
person he wished. But the court fur.
ther decided that there was no au-
thority in the law for the existence of
deputy coroner. 1t seems that in an
appropriation bill 5000 was appropri-
ated for the payment Of salary for a
deputy coroner. On this deputy
coroner was created and he has been
acting right along sending persons
charged with the death of others to
prison. The coroner is old, deaf and
infrm. The business of inquest-hold-
ing was put on this deputy. Now he
is decspitated and all that has been
done has to be done over. Some OF
the clerks under Ainsworth are talk
ing about coming forward and maxi
ing statements favorable to Aims
worth's conduct towards his employ
es. This reduces the matter still fur
ther to jawing match.
