CHICAGO. April l9,-To-night the great
glass dome OF the manufacturer build.
ing is blazing out in unexpected glory.
Since the installation Of the regular arc
lights to permit tho workmen who are
hammering at the booths to continue
their labors through the night the
building has flashed in little patches Of
light, But last night and again tonight
the whole south end Of the roof shone
with a strong steady white glare that
lit up the waves running along the
beach and could be seen for many milea
out in Lake Michigan,
The occasion was the test lighting Of
the first Of tho great corona that is to
illuminate the biggest building in the
world.
The most novel wholesale money
grabbing scheme brought to light in
Chicago in many day IS said to be in
operation upon Worlds Fair exhibitors
by the railway switchmen in the great
outlying mazes Of tracks at Grand Cross
ing, South Chicago and lark Side. The
abuse had q queer origin, beginning, 1t
Is said, with some OF the shrewd Ger
mans who arc here installing exhibits
for the German manufacturers and
merchants. There has been constant
rivalry between the Germans and the
French since the work Of installation
began. Tho German government ex.
hibit, surmounted by the imperial
eagles, is just across the main aisle from
the pavilion above which waves the
tri.color Of France.
The Germans we're determined to
beat the French in tho installation, and
few weeks ago their agents went
through the yards paying the switch
men and yard masters to ''cut out care"
loaded with German exhibits and shunt
them into the grounds.
It was part Of the service paid for,
according to the Frenchmen, to shunt
tho French cars TO side tracks. Tho up
shot OF this was that the German ex-
hibit made amazing progress, while the
French installers bit their nails and
waited and prayed in vain for the ar
rival OF the exhibits that are to knock
the Prussian beast comparatively silly.
When the representatives Of France
learned what the trouble was they
charged over 10 the administration
building and the French cars were final
ly pushed in,

EDWIN BooTH STRICKEN,
The Great Tragedan suffering From
Second ParaIytic Stroke.


Second Paralytio Stroke.
New York, April l9,-Edwin Booth,
the tragedian, is lying at the Playera'
Club, 10 Gramercy Park, suffering from
paralysis. 1t is feared that this, the
second paralytic stroke the actor has
been stricken with, will prove fatal.
At II o'clock this morning superiu-
tendent McGonnigle, OF the Players
Club, not having heard from Mr.. Booth,
opened the door Of his sleeping apart
ment at the club and found the trage-
dian lying in bed unconscious. DR.. st.
Clair Smith and DR., Ransom were I'M
mediately summoned and they gave
it as their opinion that he had
been seized with n paralytic stroke
some time during the night,
Drs. Smith and Ransom remained
with their patient, and NJ midnight,
though there were signs OF conscious
ness, his condition was considered very
critical, and the attending physicians
said it was very doubtful ii Mr., Booth
would recover.
Mr.. Booth was compelled to go to
Lakewood last fall on account OF i'll
health. He returned from there No.
vember 4, apparently somewhat i'm
proved. lie went to his homo at the
Players Club, but could not bc seen by
visitors.
Mr.. ]. H. McGonigle, the superin-
tendent of the club, said: 1.-THE verti-
go, which had troubled Mr.. Booth for
years, made it impossible for him to
see strangers. Tho moment he began
to talk to them tho unusual excitement
caused him to get very dizzy His head
whirled and the sensation was very I'M
pleasant to him."

The Unton Pacific Situation More Serious.
A Conference In Session.
OMAHA, April 10,-There may be q
walk out OF the engineers and tlremen
OF the Union Pacific. At least that is
what the striking iron workers claim.
The advisory committee OF the strikers
help conference this afternoon with a
delegation from the engineers' and
tiremen's brotherhoods, and although
the outcome Is not known, one OF the
strike leaders asserted that the engt-
neers would refuse to handle any
engine repaired by "scabs," except
those drawing the f,Ist mail. There are
no indications yet, however, OF the en-
ginemen going out.
Beyond this report there Is no change
whatever in the relations of the Union
Pacific railway and the employees who
walked out Monday. The company has
settled down to the work on hand and
all departments are running smoothly,
although the officials admit that they
arc handicapped in the blacksmith
shop, but still able to stand n protracted
siege. There Ia no indication on the
part OF the strikers to yield their
ground assumed by them on Monday.
The leaders among tho men who arc
out seem con tdent Of winning, The
committee from Denver shops which
arrived Tuesday are still at the strikers
headquarters and will probably con-
linue there for several DAYS,

Yates Played Game of Nine Pins and Got
Badly Left.
ROCHESTER, N, Y, April l9.-H. II.
Warner is here and made statement
to-day about his connection with the
failure OF A. G. Yates for million or
moro. He said:
"The cause OF Mr.. Yates assignment
is due to the fact that he had too many
irons in the fire, and has had them for
years. He has been playing game Of
nine pins. The atringency in the
money market sent its ball down the
alley and it hit the first pin. That, OF
course, tumbled and knocked down the
Others. This has been going on for
months, and might say for over year.
81 took UP quite lot OF my paper re'
gardless OF my ability to dispose OF his,
and to my surprise Mr.. Yates gave up.
And / was still more surprised when
he tried to lay upon me the cause Of his
failure do not suppose it would look
well for me to say it was due TO the
poor credit OF prominent coal COM
pany, or any one OF dozen other in
stitutions might mention, or from the
tact that the mortgages were recorded
against his property or mine"
