CHICAGO, June 1.-The weather was

no rain fell.
Mgr. Satolli, the Papal Legate, in COM
pany with Archbishop Feehan and other
Catholic dignitaries. visited the Worlds
Fair to-day, driving slowly through the
grounds, admiring the great buildings
and then paying visit to the Monastery
of La Rabida.
The Mexican exhibit in the manu-

this morning.
Word was received to-day that the far
famed Oriental monarch, the Sultan Of
Johore, is coming to the Worlds Fair.
His majesty has directed Commissioner
Lake to meet him in Germany and ac-
company him to the fair.
The White City is now practically COM
pleted. The railway tracks which were
laid inside the grounds to facilitate the
distribution of exhibits were taken up to-
day, and with very few exceptions the
exhibits are all in place. and by the first
OF next week the fair will undoubtedly
be finished for the inspection of the public
from end to end.
The band of Austria's crack regiment
arrived to-day, and will give series of
concerts throughout the fair.
The heavy clouds that threatened rain

SUNDAY OPENING.
CHICAGO, June 2.-Just before the Fed
eral Court adjourned to-day in the
Worlds Fair Sunday-closing suit.
United States Attorney Milchrist asked
that, in the absence of a permanent de-
cision, restraining order be issued for
next Sunday. Judge Woods, speaking
for the court, said no intimation could be
given as to when a decision might be ex-
pected.
On behalf of the fair it was argued that
if this court should grant the prayer of
petitioner for an order closing the gates
on Sunday, the management would have
to either disobey that order or the order
OF the State court holding that the park
being for the recreation and enjoyment of
the people, they could not be kept out on
any day of the week.
The court asked if the logic of this was
that no entrance fee could be charged.
The attorney for the fair said no, because
of the large amount spent in building the
fair the directory was entitled to charge
fee. This had already been decided in
effect.
Attorney High, for the Government,
produced a report of the dedication
exercises of the exposition, and read
portions of President Higinbotham's adj
dress formally transferring the enter
prise to the National Commission. This.
Mr.. High asserted, placed the entire ex-
position in the hands of the Government.
and invested the Federal representatives
with full power of control.
"What do You think Mayor Harrison
meant when he rendered Chicago'sI dis
tinguished guests the freedom of the
city" said Judge Jenkins, referring to
the courtesy extended the Duke of
Veragua.
The question caused a ripple of
laughter, and Attorney High, who was
somewhat taken back at the query,
said. well, of course, this is for your
honors to decide"
There is much speculation tonight
now that the case is finallyIn the Judges
hands for decision. AS to when the de-
cision will be rendered is unknown.
Not few expect that decision will be
announced tomorrow, but such quick
action is not generally looked for.
