Recently Arrested BY a Columbian

Apologized to and Paraguay's Exhibit
VIII Again BE Opened-Agricultural
Implement Men Don't Want Field
Contest.
CHICAGO, June 3O.-Apology will be
made to DR.. Emil Hassler, Paraguay's
commissioner to the fair for his arrest by
Columbian guard ald Paraguay's
exhibits at the exposition will be re
opened after having been closed for sew
eral days.
DR.. Hassler and Arthur Letter, Secre-
of the Foreign Commissioners Association
received a letter from Director General
Davis yesterday in which that official
said that in the future the foreign COM
missioners will be recognized as having
authority in their own section; that they
will be exempt from general orders Of
trivial character and that their badge
will be an immunity against arrest or
other insult or annoyance at the hands
of Columbian guards or anybody else.
In this case, which is particularly
agsravsting one the director general said
that due apology would be made to Di-
rector Hassler by the proper authori-
ties
This is all DR.. Hassler desires. He
said yesterday that if the second letter
from the director general is what he
believes it will be he will at once reopen
Paraguay's exhibits. Otherwise the
exhibits will be withdrawn entirely He
does not expect the latter result how
ever
Implement Men Oppose Field Tests.
The exhibitors of agricultural imple.
ments are not disposed to look with
much favor on John Boyd Thachers
proposition for holding field trials of
their machines. A largely attended
meeting was held yesterday in Agricul-
tural Assembly Hall to discuss the plans
and not one exhibitor was present who
openly announced himself in favor of
the scheme.
Tomorrow VIII BE Dominion Day.
The Canadians have completed ar.
rangements for the celebration OF
Dominion Day, tomorrow, at the fair
Canada's building will be handsomely
decorated with flags, and there will be {
procession and speech making.
Mexico Now Flourishes There.
The Mexican exhibit in Machinery
Hall was opened TO public inspection
yesterday afternoon Senior Augustil
M Chavese, the representative in charge
turned on the steam and set the wheel
in motion. Quite a crowd of visitor
surrounded the exhibit Senior Chaves'
said the exhibit was too small to max
any celebration In honor of the event
Although small in some respects it is al
excellent display and shows that MexicI
is making rapid progress in the manu-
facture of modern improved machinery
France Again Wants to Compete.
France wants to come back into tn
fold and have her exhibits compete 70
the exhibition prizes Among othe
things which the French commissions
has asked the COMMITTEES on awards
that the naming of a certain number o
judges shall be accorded to the Frencl
commissioner and that graded system
of prizes shall be offered
The committee on awards has agree
that France shall have as much to say a
any other foreign country in the appoint
ment of judges, but is not willing {
consent TO the second part Of the Freno
proviso But it is safe to say that th
French exhibits in all departments vii
be re entered in competition and Joh
Boyd Thacher is correspondingly happy.
