The Opinion of Judge Lacombe Will Be
Sent All United States Judges.
NEW YORK, May 26.-The Tribune will
say in the morning: cat the request of
Maxwell Evart, who is associated with
Joseph II. Choate as counsel for the Six
Companies, Judge Lacombe has written
his opinion in the case of Ny Look,
the Ch1naman who was arrested
several days ago. The Judge ordered that
he be deported as soon as provision was
made for carrying out the Geary law, but
set him at liberty. In the meantime
Choate caused the arrest of a man for the
important reason that he felt that q judge
in this city would not order that China
man be kept under arrest pending any ar
angling to put the Geary law into effect,
but western Judge might. However,
copies of Judge Lacombe's opinion have
been sent to the attorney general at
Washington and will reach every United
States judge before long. This decision
will furnish a precedent which other
judges will not be likely to set aside.

COL. MERRITT LEADS.
The Attorney-GeneraI FayOrs Him fer
Chief Justice.
Ex.DeIegate Game Is More Spoken of for
Head of the Commission Than
Any One Else.

WASHINGTON, May 20. = Especial. !
Attorney General Olney is still said to
favor Colonel Merritt for cher justice,
and anxious to close up Utah matters as
early as possible. The president, how
ever, wants to consider the reorganization
of the commission first. Indications are
that he will appoint only one new Demo-
cratic commissioner at present, though
Secretary Smith favors a complete reor-
ganization. Ex-Delegate Game is more
spoken of for the head of the commission
than any one else. Just now officials are
extremely reticent and it is hard to get
anything definite. The president has
been making most careful inquiries dur
ing the week and his decision will soon
be announced.
In making appointment OF assistant
district attorney for Utah as announced
today, the attorney general was guided
almost wholly by advices from the terri
tory and he has had many letters on the
subject in answer to inquiries made.
Postmasters appointed today were:
Utah-Nephi johnson at Johnson, Kane
county, vice William D. Johnson, re-
signed.
Idaho-Mrs. Ida Cross at Van Wyck,
vice Zelmer, resigned.

Great Crowds Expected to Visit
the White City.
ALL ARRANGEMENTS MADE.
The Federal District Attorney Will
Begin Injunction Proceedings.
A Temporary Restraining Order Will Not
Be Asked FORSYTH Will BE Before
Circuit Judges Wood and
Jenkins.

CHICAGO, May 26.-The Worlds fair
will be open Sunday. Officials in charge
are making extensive preparations to re-
ceive immense crowds, and if the weather
is pleasant they estimate the attendance
will be great. After hearing arguments
all today in the Clingman case to prevent
the directors closing the gates on Sunday,
Judge Stein of the superior court took the
matter under advisement till Monday.
The federal district attorney announced
tonight that his bill for an Injunction to
keep the gates closed will be filed tomor-
row, but he does not anticipate that any
action can be taken before next week. A
temporary restraining order will not be
asked for pending the argument. The
suit will be heard before Circuit Judges
Wood and Jenkins and District Judge
Grosscup, and it is likely Chief Justice
Fuller OF the United states Supreme
Court will occupy seat on the bench.
June bids fair to be prosperous month
for the fair. From the number of socie-
ties and organizations that have an
nounced in advance their intention of Wis
iting the fair during that month it is estl-
mated the daily attendance will be enor-
moUsly increased. There are to be num-
Der of special days selected for some par
ticular observance by different nationall-
ties, societies, etc., and each of these will
bring crowds.
Today was ushered in with cold, raw
weather, diminishing the attendance in
comparison to what it would have been
with clear skies and comfortable temper
allure.
Among the features at the fair to-day
was the dedication OF the Irish village
with religious and civic ceremonies. The
dedication had the blessings OF the pri-
mate of all Ireland, and of Father Null
doom, chancellor of this archdiocese,
Arch bishop Feehan being unavoidably
absent. Hon. John F. Finerty of Chicago
delivered the dedjcatory address.
Among others who took part in the
exercises were President Higginbotham
of the Worlds fair directory, Attorney
General Moloney of Illinois, Postmaster
Sexton and number OF representatives
of the Catholic church. Speeches were
made and musical programme rendered.
The New York room in the woman's
building was also thrown open, it is
beautifully furnished and decorated and
has library of 5000 volumes. Every
thing in 1t is the handiwork of women.
An incident to the opening was the I'M
yelling of a marble portrait bust OF
Harriet Beecher Stow.
The French section of the woman
building was also opened. 1t is very
beautiful and attractive in every way,
representing a modern French salon.
The furnishings are the finest, most
costly and artistic obtainsble in Paris.

MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD.
Secretary Herbert Grati1ed at
Captain Matthews Report.
EVERYTHING IN GOOD SHAPE
Naval Interests on the Pacific Coast
to Be Built Up.
Stories That the Coast Defense vesse
Monterey Was IL Bad Condition
Prove ro BE Unfouuded in
Every Particular.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Secretary Her
bert has given his approval to the find
ings and recommendations made by Cap
tain Matthews as a result of his inspec-
ton of the Mare Island, California, navy
yard. The secretary is gratified at the
nature of the report as it enables him to
carry out a plan which he has cherished,
as in the line of economy and calculated
TO build up naval interests on the Pacific
coass. Captain Matthews found the plant
aud equipment of the yard OF first quality
and capable of doing repair work OF a
high order, while the labor is thoroughly
skilled. Careful calculation shows that
the cost of work there will compare very
favorably with that done in the east,
when due allowance is made for distance,
consequently Secretary Herbert announ-
ces that hereafter he viii order all repair
work not cnly for the Pacific station, but
also for vessels of the Asiatic station to be
done at the Mare Island navy yard.
Heretofore it has been the practice OF
the department to order Asiatic vessels to
proceed to the Atlantic coast Tor repairs,
but the report of Captain Matthews shows
the work can be more economically done
at Mare Island when the cost OF transpor-
tation is taken into account. Captain
Matthews. also by direction OF the secre-
tsry, closely inspected the coast defense
vessel, the Monterey, in view Of the re-
ports that her boilers were ruined on her
trial trip. He found that there was. nc
basis for the reports, and the vessel is IN
splendid condition. There are some small
leaks in tube connections, but these are
insignificant and nothing more than Incl
dent to the boilers of all types which are
SEVERELY tested.

Read-The Publishers Associa-
ton Gives Banquet.

of the Worlds Press congress opened this
afternoon and evening. These were the
trade press and religious press. In the
general congress Editor in Chief John A.
SIeicher Of the New York Mail and Er-
press, discussed the question whether the
daily press colors its news too highly.
The speaker held that as a general rule
the news was not too highly colored. He
made novel suggestion that newspapers
should print both Republican and Demo-
cratic editions, each having Republican
and Democratic editor who should write
from principle.
Papers We're also read by ex-G Governor
Hoard of Wisconsin and John B. Stoll,
of Indiana.
In the trade press section J. Fred Wag-
goner, George w. HotchkisS, David H.

was decided to form a national association
of trade paper publishers. and commit

issue invitations for national meeting
to be held here some time in September.

from Margaret LANCASTER, Kate Field,
Katherine Conway, Annie L. briggs,

dresses were heard from DR.. Simeon Gill
bert of Chicago, Nine. Bogelot of Paris,
