Chicago, May 29.-Over half OF the
140 turnstiles at the worlds fair are out
of order and do not record the number
OF visitors who pass into the grounds.
AS consequence there is no means of
keeping an accurate count of the at
tendance. 1t also gives the 70 odd gate
keepers at the faulty tnrnstiles an ex-
cellent opportunity to hold out admis-
sion tickets. The bureau OF admissions
has been on the outlook for this and al
ready number of gate men have been
discharged and several are under arrest.
The turntiles are being replaced as rap
idly as possible. On account o. them 1t
will be impossible to tell the exact num-
ber OF visitors at the fair Sunday until
the tickets taken are all counted. 1t is
known that over 10000 tickets were sold
at booths on the grounds. To these
must be added those sold by the various
transportation companies carrying pas
sengers to the fair, and the large num-
Der of admissions on passes issued to
workmen, employees OF concessionaires,
etc. The officials are confident the

There was little ostentation in the
opening of the French section in the
manufacturers building this afternoon.
There was large crowd of Frenchmen
there and an orchestra rendered the
Marseiaaise and other stirring airs, after
which the commissioner-general of
France, NJ. Kranz, made brief speech,
inviting all to visit the section and see
for themselves the beautiful things dis
played.

Secretary Gresham Contradicts the State.
ment of j. Hubiey Ashton.
WASHINGTON, May 20. = Secretary
Gresham today said he had no kuowl-
edge of any threat On the part of the
Chinese government to retaliate on the
United States in case of the enforcement
of the Geary act, as indicated by J. Hub
ley Ashton counsel for the Chinese
government.
New YORK, May ga Washington
special says: Secretary Gresham author
ICES an emphatic denial of the statement
that the Chinese minister noticed"
the department of state that the Chinese
government would retaliate if the Geary
act was enforced. Gresham declared
that the recent interview between him
self and the Chinese minister on the
decision of the supreme court ON the
Geary law Was pleasant and friendly.
Not word or intimation of threat was
used during the interview. No verbal
or written statement from. the Chinese
government has been received since to
indicate thst they propose retaliation.
Being asked il any steps had been
taken toward the enforcement of the
law, Greshsm replied that that was.in
the hands OF the secretary of the treas
ury. So far as he knew, nothing had
been done.
Gresham had a protracted consults-
ton with the president, lasting till the
latter went down to receive callers, and
waited to renew it when the calls were
ended. The subject under discussion
has not been learned.

DENVER, May 29.--The American Bap-
tist Home Mission society met this
morning. President L. III. X. Porter OF
Pennylvania, delivered the annual ad-
dress, followed by reports OF the execu-
tive board and treasurer. The latter
shows receipts, $473.S42; expenditures,
$47I, ,491.
To the subject, "Religious Conditions
ard Needs of the West" were responses
this afternoon by eloquent divines from
Montana, Washington, Utah, California
and others. From the talks it was found
that the growth of the church since the
last annual meeting was most gratifying.
The eastern delegates could not help
but quietly emile at the many manifest
attempts of each speaker to "boom" his
particular section, but were fairly horri-
fed when Rev. d. II. Proper of Seattle.
WASH, said the trouble with too many
people in his part of the country was
that "they were too much married"
and when he saw the CONSERVATION on

die west and far east are responsible

AGAINST SUNDAY CLOSING.

A Temporary Injunction Granted by
Hebrew Judge.
CHroAeo, May 29.-On the spplicstiun
Of Stakeholder Clingman, Judge Stein of
the superior court this morning issued a
temporary injunction restraining the di-
rectors of the worlds fair from closing
the gates on Sunday.
The suit on which the injunction was
granted was fled by Clingmsn several
weeks ago as q stakeholder in the expo
sition and rs q citizen. This proceeding
is in the state court and is entirely dis
tinct from the action begun Saturday by
the United States district attorney in
the federal court. Judge Stein held that
congress had made no law compelling
Sunday closing.
The point on which the Injunction
was granted was Clingman's claim as a
citizen and taxpayer. The court held
as parks are set apart for the recreation
Of the public forever, park commission
ers had no power to grant the privi-
lege, nor the exposition management to
exercise it, of closing the gates on Sun
day.
The court said in the act of congress
creating the exposition it was expressly
provided that no rule or regulation con-
hicting with the state law Of Illinois
should be enforced. Under this law the
whole of jackson park will be thrown
open to the public on all days
of the week. Later the fair manage
ment accepted an appropriation
providing for Sunday closing.
This constituted legal contract, and
tie gates could be Kept closed under it.
But later congress withdrew from the
agreement by withdrawing part of the
appropriation. The fair authorities did
not accept this additional condition, and
this relieved them from the Sunday
closing contract.
In opposition to the petition it had
been urged that this was Christian
government and that Christianity was
part of the law Of the country. "This,"
said the court, ''iH clearly not SO; it is
certainly untenable; in this country
there ia religious freedom"
Judge Stein, who rendered the decis-
ion, is a Hebrew.

NEWS FROM NICARAGUA,
First Official Message from
Minister Baker.
He Reports a Serious Civil War
in Progress.
Nothing Said of Harsh Treatment Of
Americans.
United States Marines Landed from the
2Atlanta at Greytown But Quickly
Withdrawn - Peace Conn
missioners Appointed.
By the Associated d Press. I

by the AssOciateo Press.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-For the first
time since the departure for his post as
minister to Nicaragua, Mr.. Baker has
been heard from officially. Secretary
Gresham today received a cablegram
from him, sent from Managua and dated
yesterday. The cablegram came By way
OF La Libertad, Salvador. The minister
telegraphs that a warship is necessary at
Corinto. OF course, he is ignorant of the
fact that the United States ship Alliance
is fastening to that point on the west
coast, and is expected to arrive Wednes-
day. He further says the war between
the government and revolutionists will
probably become bitter, aH the revolu-
tionists are aggressive and powerful.
No news has reached the department
indicating that American residents of
Nicaragua are being treated with harsh-
ness, as reported in kilograms by way of
Salvador.
The Atlanta has arrived at Greytown.
Captain HigginHon reports landing 100
marines to look after American inter-
ests, but withdrew them Saturday even
ing at the suggestion of the United
States consul.
Secretary Gresham has heard nothing
from any authentic source about the
proposition to establish a protectorate
over Nicaragua. DR.. Guzman, minister
from Nicaragua, explains in speaking of
the probability of protectorate being
established by the United States, that
his purpose was to limit his remarks to
the canal and not to apply them to the
entire country. His belief is, and al
ways has been, that If the Nicaragua
canal is built the United States will
assume protectorste over that work.
New YoRK, May 29.--The Herald's La
Libertad special says: News from Gran
ada says marines from the United States
steamer Atlanta were landed on the plea
that there were not enough policemen to
maintain order. The revolutionary
leaders resented thiE and Immediately
appointed large police force The
marines were then Withdrawn. United
States Minister Baker this morning
asked for truce for As hours, and ap-
pointed commissioners to meet commiH-
sioners from President Sacaxa tomorrow.
The request was granted.

A "TRIP UP THE HUDSON.

Eulalia Entranced with the Beauties of
the American Rhine.
New YoRK, May 29.-Infanta Eulalia
went to West Point today on the steam
er Mammoth. Her passage from the
hotel to the pier was an ovation, and as
the steamer proceeded up the river there
were deafening salutes from the Span
ish, American and other war ships. The
princess was entranced with the bea-
ties of the American Rhine, the day
being a perfect one, and the palisades
standing out in all their beauty. A
royal salute was fred on the arrival of
the party, and the infanta was met by
officers of the post and an escort of cav
airy. At Colonel Ernst's house the prin-
cess met Mrs. General Grant, and ex-
pressed much pleasure at meeting the
widow OF the great commander,
whom che met in Madrid during
his trip around the world. The great
event of the day, of course, was the
review of cadets, whose appearance was
fautless. The princess, escorted by Col.
Ernet and followed by her suite, walked
down the entire length OF the lines OF
gray-coated soldier boys. After this she
returned to Colonel Ernst's house. The
officers Of the post and their wives were
presented. The princess WAS about to
step into carriage when she remsm-
bered she had not bidden Mrs. Grant
goodbye. She Immediately turned and
ran up stairs, grasped Mrs. Grants
hands and told her again now pleased
she was to have met her. She returned
to the steamer and the start for New
York was quickly made. Tonight the
