CHICAGO. May s.-The features OF
the day In official circles at the Worlds
Fair grounds was the effort OF Miss
Phoebe Couzins, OF Missouri. 10 abro-
gate the action Of the Board OF Lady
Managers in adjOurning sine die
After the National Commission had
been in session few minutes Miss
Couzins appeared before that body and
demanded recognition as a member OF
the National Commission. She based
her claim, she said, upon the decision Of
Judge Blodgett, OF the United States
District Court. The Board OF Lady
Managers by these decisions was sub
: committee OF the National Commission.
A sine die adjournment had been
rushed through the Board of Lady
" Managers, but she had not adjourned,
aud wished, as a member Of the National
Commission, TO be recorded present, so
that she could draw her salary.
At this point Commissioner Francis
w. Breed, OF Massachusetts, raised a
point Of order. His point was that
Miss Couzins should present her claims
in writing, and that they should be re-
viewed by the Judiciary Committee.
President Palmer said the point was
well taken, and the matter being refer
red TO the Judiciary Committee on mo-
tion Miss Couzins withdrew.
Bright, beaming and beautiful the
second week Of the Worlds Fair was
ushered 10 to-day. The prospects Tor
greatly increasing the attendance over
that Of last week are exceedingly IA
vorable. Visitors in large numbers be-
gan TO arrive early, and by this after
noon things took on an appearance Of
completeness that was lacking the 1rst
week of the Fair.
Ii was somewhat disappointing to
many Of the visitors to note the con-
trast between the external and internal
appearance Of the beautiful white pal
aces. Without all seemed to be I'm
ished. but a peep inside the great doors
disclosed a mass or boxes and works Of
art being unpacked with marvelS Of me-
chanical genius. Hundreds OF men were
unloading wagons and freight cars.
IPresinent HginbOtham entertained
the naval visitors at breakfast in the
Recital hall OF the Music Palace this
morning. IL was all elaborate affair.
Many OF the naval guests arrived at the
grounds early and spent much time
in looking through the buildings.
The Committee on Science, History,
Literature and Education reported that
the musical instrument exhibitors are
averse to having their exhibits installed
Non the 18th inst, as proposed by the de-
partment, as there is some new "Stuf"
being put up in their immediate vicin-
ity which creates a degree Of dampness
incl "a nn
they prefer TO postpone the installation
until the s5sh. They also feel greatly
agQrieved, the report says, at the action
OF the Bureau OF Music in permitting
the use OF pianos manufactured by nom
exhibitors.
The Committee on Agriculture re-
ported that most Of the exhibits in the
Agricultural building would be in posi-
tlon by the end Of the week.
The Sunday closing question then
once more bObbed up serenely, when
Commissioner Huntley, Of Alabama,
arose and presented q resolution, which
caused a rather animased and prolonged
debate. The resolution was as follows:
WHEREAS, There is an impression
that the rule heretofore adopted by the
Commission, requiring the gates of the
Exposition 10 remain closed on Sunday,
can be abrogated or modified; aud,
WHEREAS, the interest Of the fair de-
manded that the question be definitely
settled, II not already settled by act Of
Congress and this commission, there
fore,
ResOlred, That this commission re.
CARDS the rule requiring the gates 70 be
closed on Sunday as a binding and
final determination Of this S sbject both
in law, and In fact.
The matter was debated all its as
poets alSi finally matters bd me so in
volved that Mr. Huntley ldrew the
Co Commissioner nilds. Forsytho, falIi6sNia,
presented the following; n

Theodore Thomas's i eating
committee was in session 70 urS to-
day. Several witnesses wer Dined,
among them being Mr.. Peat who is
in charge of the liberal arts music,
the chief harpist who could sy on
any but a special make OF hs nd for
which, by the way, he was ying q
salary from the manufaetu and a
LADY harpist. The latter tes ! that
IL did not make very much blence
to her what make OF harp played
upon.
A majority Of the experts ar ex-
amined by the investigating c. nittee
voiced one idea, viz: that any Musician
can play on any good inStrumeAt, the
manufacturer cutting no figure Athe
case. Several OF the eommitte Ne
greatly wrought up over the m
