WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS. July 2i.-It 10
not at all unlikely that tho latter part OF
next month or the first of September will
see the crowned heads of Europe commence
pouring into CHICAGO to view the wonders
of the White City. Word was received
here to-day that Commissioner Wermuth,
of Germany, who salled for home yesterday,
being called back temporarily 10y aprivate
m essage from Emperor Wilhelm. had let
drop the fact in New York that the Kaiser
desired very much 10 como 20 the fair. but
that the many evil reports circulated by
London papers about the alleged unhealthy
condition of Chicago. and. what is far
worse. alleged discourtesies that royal
parsonage might receive. made him hesi-
tate. Hence. it is said. ne had sent for the
German nations commissioners TO
advise with and arrange the de-
tails of q satisfactory journey. It 10
also understood that Comm issioner Wer-
muth intimated as much 10 Director
general Davis before leaving. The COM
missioner said it was possible the Emperor
bad decided to visit the fair and if he .Wer-
muth) were consulted on the question, he
would do all In his power TO persuade the
Emperor to come. This is taken as grand
news for the fair as it will no doubt resuls
in bringing over the Prince of Wales with
possibly his son George. the Duke OF York.
lately married 10 Princess May of Teck. on
their wedding tour. This will also open
the way TOR other crown heads. including.
some say, even the naughty Alexander III.
Car of Russia, who by the way. IS great
admirer of America, and may brave the
NlhllIsts and come.
The action of the Russian exhibitors who.
because of an alleged insult. closed their
exhibits in the Manufactures and Liberal
Arts Building does not meet with approba-
tior of the worlds fair officials. Charles
II. Schwsb. of the council OF sdministra-
tion, said to-day: The exhibitors, foreign
and American. must obey the rules of tho
exposition. and the sooner they come 20
this conclusion the better It will be for
them. If they attempt to close their ex-
hl bits permanently we will put custodian
In charge and open IL up and MAINTAIN ie

aged by the authorities In charge and not
by the eXhl bitors."
The foreign commissioners held their
regular meeting TODAY. The sale of dupli-
Gates OF exhibits and the grievance of the
Russians were questions discussed. The
commissioners sent an ulsimatum TO the
fair directors. which Will be replied to
within q week. and the present situation
warrants the conclusion that an smIcablo
adjustmsnt of the difficulty Will be reached
before the next meeting of the commissions
ere. The only way In which the Russian
matter came before the commissioners was
in a short speech from Commissioner Soust-
chevsky. he dealt with the case more in
the light of an act of imDolitenese on the
part of the customs officers which would be
settled in q manner satisfactory TO the
commission ard the exhibitors. As the
RuRaian eOmml r.. did 0f1iClallV
order the covering of exhibits, and he'd no
grievance 20 present to the commissioners.
no action was taken on the matter. It 10
likely that letter from Collector Clark
and the director-general will settle the
matter. Colonel Davis and Chief Allison,
of manufactures department.. paid an In
formal visit TO the Russian section during
the day. but aid not induce the exhibitors
to remove the coverings.
AS q result of the council OF administra-
tion con nsideration to-day of the matter of
distributing the Sl05.0O0. which is now
the amount of the fund for the families Of
the fire victims. President Higinbotham
will recommend that the May or's commit
tee, the Board of Trade committee and the
worlds fair trustees net together in the
work of distribution. putting all tbemoney
contributed in n pool and apportionlng 10
as one sun. President HIginbotham said
~
should be made. as money was still being
received. and he would wait until tho
contributions stopped. The foreign COM
missioners' contribution TO the fund. as an-
nounced at the meeting to-day, amounts 20
$957.
