Tho Work Incomplete, but tho Grounds
Crowded With Sight-seers.
CHICAGO, May 4.-Work on the I'M
finished portion of the worlds fair was
resumed this morning and thousands of
men were soon busy putting the finish
ing touches on the great show while
other thousands we're at work putting the
exhibits in place. In the midst of all
throngs of sight-seers strolled through the
grounds, mostly engaged in getting an
idea of the architectural splendors of the
exposition, which, 80 far as outward ap-
pearances 90, are complete. This alone
is more than can be acco nplished in
single day. The immensely Of the work
grew on the spectators as they moved
from point to point and found an amount
of exertion necessary merely to walk
around the great structures. A mere
sight of them does not afford fair gauge
Of their size because all are 80 large that
nothing Of ordinary dimensions is in sight
to furnish standard OF measurement.

CARLISLE AND THE BANKERS
An Erroneous Construction Placed upon
What Was Said.
JONES OF ARKANSAS INTERVIEWED
He Says the New York Bankers viii Be
Blamed by the Country for the POSI-
ton They Have Taken.

New YoRK, May 4.-The World says:
Senator James K. Jones, of Arkansas,
was in town last night Referring to the
conference recently held by Secretary
Carlisle with the New York bankers,
the Arkansan said:
II apprehend an erroneous construc-
ton has been placed upon what the
secretary told the bankers. According
to the reports, which perhaps they cir
culated themselves, he declared it was
his intention to render Sherman's silver
law go obnoxious that public sentiment
would compel congress to repeal the act.
OF course Carlisle favors a repeal, but he
is not the kind of man to 90 to work
deliberately to make this or that law IN
popular. The conduct of the New York
bankers during all this scare of gold ex-
portations has been at least unpatriotic.
They have tried to force the secretary
OF the treasury to issue bonds, but he
has bravely withstood them. l know
that throughout the country there is the
greatest resentment toward the New
York bankers for their refusal to come to
the aid Of the government, and they
are not likely to hear the last Of it for
some time"
SIS it your opinion that the Sherman
law is responsible for the large export of
gcld?" he was asked.
ut is not. The balance of trade has
been against us, and that accounts in a
great measure for the expectations. l
don't anticipate repeal in the next SEES
sion unless satisfactory substitute ia
offered. l opposed it when it was
brought before the senate because l dc
not believe in making a commodity Of
silver l would suggest return to the
Bland law if compromise is to be made
hardly think the free silver bill win be-
come law the next session, or during
the administration of Cleveland"
