How Sir James Long Sizes Up the Ohi-
cago Worlds Fair.
TORONTO. May S.-Sir james Long.
proprietor of the Sheffield, England, Tel
egraph, who visited the worlds fair last
week with party of British journalists,
has given his impressions of and the
prospects of the fair. He said he con-
sidered the Chicago show the greatest
the world ever held the most extensive,
the most costly and architecturally the
most imposing. It was question OF
money, and never before had go much
money been contributed for such pur-
pose. The buildings are much ahead OF
those at Paris; but he was disappointed
at the unready state of the exhibition.
Strangely enough the most backward
exhibits were those which the Ameri.
cans themselves were making. In his
district in Sheffield all but two manu-.
facturers had practically boycotted the
Chicago fair, on account OF the McKin-
ley act preventing them from sell.
ing goods in the United States.
He approved this action at the
time they decided it, but now Thought
it was mistake. Many British mer-
chants were losing the opportunity of
lifetime for advertising. If it had not
been for the Mckinley act, England's
exhibit at Chicago would have been the
best that country ever made. He did
not think the exhibition of paintings
equal to that at Vienna. He did not
think the fair would be financial sue

AN EMBARRASSED BANK.
THE CHICAGO CHEMICAL NATION
AL IN DIFFICULTIES.
Compelled to CLOSE Doors on Account
of Being Refused Assistance by
the Clearing House

CHIcAGo, May 3-Bank Examiner
James B. Sturgis will tomorrow morning
make an examination into the affairs Of
the Chemical National bank. The
branch OF the bank located at the world 8
lair grounds, which has the exclusive
privilege of the banking business at the
fair. has been thoroughly secured by the
officers and directors of the main office,
so none OF the depositors in the worlds
fair branch will suffer. The president OF
the bank is J. o. Curry, who came to
Chicago short time ago from Aurora.
The bank was supposed to be of the
soundest financial standing, aud gave
every appearance OF profitable business.
II was organized five years ago as the
Ohsmical Trust and Savings bank, and q
year ago recrTanized IS national bank
undor tIle present title.
The trouble was brought about by the
Chemical National applying, through
the Illinois National bank, which cleared
for it, to the clearing house for loan
This was refused on the technicelity of
the Chemical not being mem Der of the
clearing house. Then the Illinois Ma
tional made an examination into the
affairs of the Chemical and refused
longer to clear for it.
After this verdict there was long
conference of bank officials, and at the
close word was sent to the comptroller
OF the treasury that the bank would not
open its doors tomorrow pending a full
and complete examination by the bank
examiner.
Later in the evening word was re-
ceived from Washington that Bank Elk
aminer Sturgis would take charge of the
bank tomorrow. The causes. leading to
the trouble are said to be the accumula-
tion of paper upon which the bank was
unable to realize easily. 1t is said,
however, that the securities are ade-
Quate.
