Expenses Better Times Expected.

The Worlds Fair Hardly Paid Operating
Expenses Better Times Expected
CHICAGO. June Yesterday closed
the first month Of the exposition. The
weather and the general impression
that the fair Is not finished have affect
ed the attendance and the average ha
not been as high as the governing OH
GERS of the fair expected before the
president OF the United States pressed
the button May 1. There is no
denying that the treasury de-
partment OF the fair Is pressed
for ready money. although the
banks which are represented in the
local corporation stand ready to adj
vance money at any time to tide the ex
position over. But money Is owing to
contractors and employees and the for
mer find much difficulty in getting
quick and full payment Of their claims
There viii be a severe policy of re-
trenchment in all departments in the
fair. The discharge of 1000 employees
Is contemplated. the distribution OF
passes Is to be kept within the narrow
est limits possible.
The directors are heavily interested
the financial success Of the exposi-
ton. and they can ne relied on to do all
in their power to reduce the expend-
itures and increase receipts in spite OF
public opinion or individual interests.
Before the opening the enthusiasts con-
Rected with the fair talked about a
average daily attendance of &c., 200. but
that nJmber has only been reached
twice-on the opening day and memo
rial day.
Special fete days and single fare ex-
cursions from distant points viii swell
the crowds for the next five months,
but the European patronage Is not be
ing relied on 10 any great extent in
figuring up prospective receipts. FOR
the month of May it can only be said
that the fair has not much more than
paid operating expenses.

WASHINGTON. June 2--Having decid.
ed by vote of $50 to 116 that it had q
hereto on its hands in the person oi
Dr. Charles A. Briggs. the first thing
for the Presbyterian general assembly
to do when it met yesterday was to con.
slider what should be done with him.
Accordingly a committee was appointed
to bring a verdict, and its members
were requested 60 get to work at once.
After a long session the committee
brought in this recommendation: "Sus-
pension from the ministry and the as
sembly adopted the report.
During the session of the committee
a motion was made by DR.. Stewart to
adopt a resolution admonishing DR..
Briggs for his delivery of the inaugural.
and requesting him to refrain from
further spread of his teachings, against
which the church has spoken. 1t was
suggested, however. by another MEM
Der. that possibly admonition would be
of no avail. and it was decided that a
subcommittee should wait on Dr.
Briggs and ascertain what position he
would take in the case. As had been ex-
pected from his speeches, they found
that DR.. Briggs was not disposed to
take back or modify anything which
he had said. Upon making this report to
the full committee it was decided that
the only thing to do was to suspend him
from the further practice of the offices
of a Presbyterian minister. and this
was agreed to by an unanimous vote.

can only be reinstated on his recanta-

writings to which objection has been
