everybody under cover and put a stop
to open air sightseeing, There was
ruah for refuge among the visitors who
had not come prepared for such sud-
den change in the weather. Hundreds
Of workmen employed outside on va.
rious buildings scrambled down from
their perches like monkeys, and rushed
to the nearest places OF shelter. Tho
grounds looked as deserted and barren
Of human life as II it were Sunday, and
oven the guards retired temporarily un.
der cover. The storm did not last long,
however, and as IL eliectually laid the
dust onthe roadways and plazas, nobody
complained.
order was noticeable in electricity
building, which is inexcusably behind
in tho work OF installations. There
was activity in every section, and the
indications are that the exhibits will be
in n presentable condition whom the
third week OF the exposition opens.
The work OF installation in agricultural,
machinery and manufactures buildings
Is being done slowly, and by an insuf-
ticiont force, but an excuse is offered in
liberal arts and agricultural buildings
by the elaborate character OF tho paVil-
ions and booths occupied by foreign
nations and individual firms, The in
stallation in the mines and mining and
transportation buildings is practically
complete.
Worlds Fair visitors are steadily on
tho increase. Yesterday tho CATO
keepers disposed OF 1898 tickets for
admission. This number was augu-
mented by the sale Of several thousand
at the down town booths and hotels,
making the total number OF paid
admissions amount to over 10000 The
paid attendance up to date has been
272,S9O.
The clerks in the exposition branch
Of tho suspended Chemical National
Bank we're busy to-day classifying and
making up the accounts OF those de-
positors who will be paid the amounts
due them by the voluntary guarantors
without waiting for tho report Of the
goyernmentexaminers Thedepositors
arc evidently satisfied now with the
immediate prospects OF receiving their
money, as none OF them were to be seen
outside the closed doors Of the bank to-
day. The amount OF clerical work ID
be done will hardly allow OF the de.
positors receiving their money until to-
morrow.
Tho mnin gallery Of the women's
building was redolent OF chape jas
mines to-day. Two thousand of these
flowers were received from Galveston,
Texas, through the efforts OF the lady
managers from that state. The people
OF Galveston will send daily load o.
jasmines for gratuitous distribution in
various parts OF the exposition for the
purpose OF decoration and individual
use.
After two weeks OF hard work the
committee investigating the misunder
standings in tho bureau OF music late
this evening made report to the ma
tionaI commission. The report, In Of
feet stated that Mr.. Thomas usefulness
us musical director Of the fair had end
ed, aud that harmony in that depart
munt required that his services be dis
pensed with. The report OF the com
mittee reviewed the whole situation
from the inception OF the disagree
ments that have been disturbing the
waters Of tho musical circle.
Hon. I. A. Goshorn, FORMERLY directoi
general Of the Philadelphia Centennial,
addressed tho national commission on
tho subject OF special awards at the
special Invitation OF the commission

was the most successful that coulc
have been brought forward. He urgeC
tho management to appoint tho judgcI
MS early as possible, in order that The
work OF examining and awarding med
ala could begin at as early q date aI
possible. Tho judges, he said, ought L

Then, at tho suggestion OF President

rlous questions put to him by the com
misaloners. One OF these brought ou
remark which was body blow to tn,
national commission and the local di
roCtory. Commissioner White, OF NoV
