TIE WORLDS FAl1..
The Programme ArranGcd-A Rush of Ex.
hibits,

CHICAGO, April l6,-Exhibits are
coming into the Worlds Fair grounds
faster now than ever before. There
were 600 cars in the yards to-day. The
daily average of cars received is 800.
Goods are coming in SO fast there that
the restrictions about wide tires on the
wagons that enter tho grounds had to be
removed.
The work OF unpacking the exhibits
is being pushed vigorously. That work
can not be done any too fast, for there
are yet but two weeks before the gong
will sound and President Cleveland
will formally open the fair. The pro.
gramme for the opening exercises seem
to be generally m isunderstood. While
it will be strictly IN outdoor event,
there are to be no military features
whatever-no parade aud no display OF
troops. Tho ceremony is to be very
simple, and it will all take place in
Jackson park, the formal part OF it from
platform Mt the eRst front OF OF the
administration building. The pro-
gramme is complete except for the sc.
lection OF a chaplain to offer the open.

1t has beon arranged that the plat
form from which the programme will
be given will extend from the east
rotunda, where the chorus and orches-
ira will be stationed, out far enough
into tue plaza SO that the President,
speaking from the front, may at least
be seen by all the crowd.

THE czAR,s ABSENCE
From st. Petersburg Causes tho Delay In

From st. Petersburg Causes the Delay In
Ratitying tho Treaty.
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 16.-The
probable reason for tho hitherto unex.
planned delay in the exchange OF the
ratfications OF the extradition treaty
recently concluded with Russia became
known to-day. The treaty was ratified
by the senate Of the United States with
an amendment limiting the section re-
lAting to political crimes shortly before
the close OF the last administration. The
exchange oil ratigcations was to take
place at st. Petersburg and tho ex-
change copy for tho United States with
instructions and authority to Minister
White to effect the exchange were for.
warded some weeks ago. The announce
ment that tho exchange had taken
place was expected before tho close OF
March and the delays giving rise to con-
siderable speculation. This wont so far
as to originate rumor from Berlin that
President Cleveland had instructed
Minister White to withhold the OK.
Change-a statement that was promptly
denied at the state department,
1t was learned to-day that the delay
in making tho exchange was doubtless
due to the absence OF the car from st.
Petersburg. He is visiting his second
son, George, who, on account OF pull
monary weakness, is spending some
time in the Caucasus mountains in the
Crimea. The czar had not seen him
for somo months, and in company with
his family went to pass the Russian
Easter week with the invalid. . lie is at
u great distance from st. Petersburg
and means OF communication are COM
paratively slow. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the c2ar's Authorization OF
the Russian copy Of tho treaty is now in
st. Petersburg and that the iormality oil
exchange will soon be enacted. The
copy for tho Czar's signature left 81,
Petersburg on tho third instant and
should have returned thore by this
date. may be, though, that the czar
did not transact any business last week,
and II that should DO so, further do.
lay Of somo days may onsuO before tho
exchange actually takes place.

THEY RAISE AN OBJECTION.

Operators Say a Speed of Eighty
i've Words Minute Is Impossible.
The commercial operators of Savannah
have raised an objection to the statement
made by a Central railroad telegraph
operator that one of their number took
1850 words in thirty minutes, or at the
rate Of eighty-ive words minute.
AS will be remembered the statement
was published as letter from an opera
tor in Augusta to the Savannah operators
and was followed by this explanation:
AS Will be seen, this is at the rate of
eighty-fve words a minute. The great
est number of words heretofore taken in
a minute, of which there is any record, is
tfty-fve. The tournament record is held
by Pollock, of New York, who received
tfty-two words a minute. An expert
writer puts down about twenty words a
minute; q very fast writer about thirty.
The following communication will ex-
plain the stand the operators take in the
matter:
To the Editor Of the Morning News-Dear
Sir: Noticing an article in your issue of Nov
Is that certain operator or operators at the
Central railroad transmitted over 2. 500 words
at a rate of So words per minute, we are ready
with wager of $40 that this or these oper-
ators are not capable Of handling, trans
uniting 40 words minute in good, plain and
distinct Morse, to say nothing OF the IS words
which he or they claim to have handled and
keep up this rate for 80 minutes, which is i'm
possible.
They may have sent IS per minute includ-
ing about % figures in each group, each figure
being counted as word, which any ordinary
operator can handle about 100 with great
ease
These gentlemen are beyond all doubt able
people, but we still defend Pollock with the
belt
II at any time these gentlemen are at
leisure, the telegraph fraternity of Savannah
will gladly donate II each to witness this
great feat in telegrlphy, or to be sure Of be-
ing accepted, we will lower our challenge to
45 words per minute in good Morse, and have
rehearsal in the opera house some evening
named by said gentlemen, in the next week

a NEW POLICEMAN GONE.
He Was Too Frisky, and Acting Mayor
Mills Dismissed Him.

Policeman John Sheehan was sum
marily dismissed from the force by Acting
Mayor Mills yesterday morning. Sheehan
was one Of the younger members of the
force, having been appointed only about a
month ago. He was charged with flag
rant misconduct while in uniform
The charges against him were entering
the house of Essie May. at No. 81 Houston
street, near the corner of South Broad
street, after being relieved of duty at
midnight Thursday night. After enter
ing the house he was charged with
disturbing the inmates, and abusing and
cursing the proprietress, Essie May.
When the latter protested against his
conduct he placed her under arrest and
carried her half way to the barracks
when he released her. The woman went
In the barracks where she preferred
charges against Sheehan.
When Sheehan appeared for duty the
next morning Chief Green notified him
of the charges against him and asked
him what he had to say. He denied the
tinued until yesterday morning TO give
the officer better chance to prepare his
defense
Sheehan realized, however, that his
offence was objectionable and added to
the charges against him by refusing to
IAN IN with his squad when ordered to do
so Friday night He said something
about being tired of working so hard on
the police force. Chief Green promptly
placed Sheehan under arrest for
his INSTRUMENTATION and had him locked
in one of the barracks rooms, where
he remained until yesterday morning
This action of the chief was not expected
by SheehaD, and he declared that he
would prosecute him for false imprison-
ment. 1t is not very likely that he will
do so, however The last offense made his
dismissal certain, even had he been able
to escape dismissal on the first charge.
Sheehan made no defense at his trial
yesterday morning except to declare in
the most positive manner that he had not
been in Essie Mays house at all. The
evidence against him was conclusive,
however, and resulted in his dismissal
from the force as stated. He certainly
made some very bad breaks in his short
career as an officer. The officer dismissed
yesterday was not Policeman William
Sheehan, who has been an efficient mem
Der of the force for several years.

In concluding the report Mr.. Conner
says:
During the months of July and
August business was unus ually depressed I;
even September, when ordinarily there
is revival from the dull summer months,
was disappointing. caused in part by the
general stagnation, and in part by very
bad weather.
The storm of Aug. q was very dis
astrous, causing the loss of the steamship
City Of Savannah. The ship was l6 years
old, and cost originally S25l 1852 as, and
was insured for about Sl4S, 900, which
viii be placed TO the credit of the Ocean
Steamship Company as collected. She
had been thoroughly overhauled and re-
paired during the summer, and was in
good condition. Her loss will be seriously
felt during the winter
The Savannah and Atlantic railroad
was also very seriously damaged by the
storm, but as its business is almost en-
tlrely passenger, confined to the summer
months, and the season was about over,
as the road has never been a profitable
one no steps have been taken to re-
pair it."
The annual report Of the Savannah and
Western, made by Receivers Conner and
Lowry, which has been given in the sum
mary OF Receiver Corners annual report,
was ready yesterday, and was forwarded
to the judge of the Fifth circuit court for
the middle circuit of Alabama.
