Mr. German, q member Of the coni-

question which confronted the country
was such that he did not sec how the

lures.
II am . firm believer that We have
only .ucned the bordersof this trouble,
add that the real trouble is that the
revenue laws don's produce sufficient
money TO pay the expenses OF the gov
ernment as now fixed. And l believe
that before July next extraordinary
action will have to be taken by the
men who control the financial sstsb.
llshment of the government TO meet
the exigencies. or else congress will
have TO reassemble and meet it by
making adequate provision"

CHICAGO May 3O-In the legal pro.

day and to restrain public admission on
that day, the former gained the first
victory. Judge Stein issued a tenn.
rorary injunction restraining the direc.

His ruling was made in accordanc e
with the prayer of bill filed by Charles

and as a citizen
Judge STEMS Decision.
The decision 10 DIS in substance that
the park commissioners had no power
to concede to a corporation more than
the usufruct OF the South park ground
The contention OF the intervening petit
toner, c. Fl. Howard. that to- open the
fair on Sunday is against the law Of
the land and the act Of congress Of
April IS. 1899. is dismissed with the
statement that it has not been proven
that there is anything in that act which
overthrows any OF the existing laws of
the State of Illinois. and the laws of
illinois are not affected.
Scored Congress.
The court roughly handled congress
and its action in the making anpropria-
tons with the Sunday closing strict
ares.
1T took two parties to make con-
tract" said the judge, land two to un-
make one; therefore. by its determina-
ton to withhold $4,000 from the
amount conditionally appropriated.
congress caused palpable breach of
contract, and the directory was absolved
from agreeing to its actions; further
more, 1t has not been shown that the
local directory has received a single
dollar from congress subsequent to the
passage of the law"
Attorney Gault, for the intervening
petitioner, gave notice that he would
try to show that the exposition did re-
