on Sunday.
CHICAGO, May 26.-The Worlds Fair
will be open Sunday. The officials in
charge are making extensive preparations
to receive immense crowds, and if the
weather is pleasant the estimate the at
tendanceto be great.
After hearing arguments all day in the
Clingman case to prevent the directors
closing the gates on Sunday, Judge Stein
of the Superior Court took the matter un-
der advisement until Monday.
The Federal District Attornsy said to-
night that his bill for an Injunction to
keep the gates closed will be filed to-
morrow, but he does not anticipate that
any action will be taken before next
week. A temporary restraining order
will not be asked for pending arguments.
The suit will be heard before Circuit
Court Judges Wood and Jenkins and
District Judge Grosscup, and it is likely
Chief Justice Fuller of the United States
Supreme Court will occupy a seat on the
bench.
June bids fair to be prosperous month
for the Fair. From the number of So
cieties and organizations that have an
nOunced in advance their intention of
visiting the Fair during that month, it is
estimated that the daily attendance will
be enormously increased

RoCKLIN, May 26.-The Coroner's in
quest was concluded this afternoon about
O'Clock, and the jury, after being in
private session for about half an hour,
returned verdict to the effect that "Miss
Irish came to her death from being
burned in Thursday mornings fire, the
origin of which is unknown by this
jury" This exonerates the cook, around
whom so much suspicion had been
thrown, as far as the result of the in
QUESTION is concerned.
The cook-Walker by name-was
placed on the stand late this afternoon
and subjected to the most searching
cross-examination. His answers, how
ever, were very straightforward, and his
questioners We're unable to catch him
in single instance. District Attorney
Chamberlain conducted the examination.
Although no one can be legally charged
and held as having been the cause of the
confiagration. the whole affair is en-
shrouded in mystery, and no one seems
to be at all satisfied with the idea that the
fire was accidental The fire started near
the kitchen, and there had been no fire in
the stove since supper-fully eight hours
before the outbreak. The supper fire
was out before the cook left the room.
That such furious fire should break out
at 3 O'Clock in the morning through any
other cause than incendiarism is not
credited by any one.

Trial Trip To-day.
VALLEJO, May 26.-The Monterey will
proceed on her final and official trial to-
morrow, leaving the navy yard between
10 and IL A. NJ, Captain l. Kempff in
command, with a Board of Naval In
spectors on board.
To-day the crew took on board supplies
and stores for eight days, although she is
not expected to be absent longer than five
days.
The Board of Naval Inspectors were as
signed quarters on board this afternoon,
and Immediately commenced to inspect
and give orders for the final trial.
1t has been definitely decided that the
Monterey trial will take place on the
course from Pigeon Point to Point Sur
and the Santa Barbara Channel
The trial of the armament will be con-
Quoted with precaution, as it is feared that
haste in testing the big guns will result
fatally to the turret.
Six sheep have been purchased and
placed on board, to ascertain the results
of the cOncussion caused by the discharge
of the big guns. Service charges will be
used of 2G0 pounds of powder and 750-
pound projectiles. The guns will be fired
by electricity, to avoid possible accident
to any of the crew. 1t is held in doubt
whether the supports of the carriages
will sustain the shock and recoil of the
guns.

tain H. L. Howison, Chief Engineer Bur

structor Taylor. and from the Union Iron

able, like many others, to get money
when he needed it, and, like them. he un-
doubtedly had to throw up the sponge.
One trouble with him has been the fact
that he was interested in SO many things,

Foster was generally considered by
Wall-street men to take an active interest
In Wall street affairs, and supposed to
have been associated with Senator Calvin
s. Brice and General Samuel Thomas in
some of their deals. The amount of
the speculation, however, is said to have
been grossly exaggerated. Senator Cal

Fosters assignment beyond what heard

Treasury Department he has paid off
Sl5O,OO0 of his obligations here, and but
for the difficulty in making loans would
have been able to carry on his various
enterprises.
SYMPATHY AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Universal
sympathy is expressed here with ex-
Secretary Foster in his financial difficult
ties, especially in the Treasury Depart
ment, where he was very popular. Those
intimate with him here knew of the close
quarters in which he was. A friend ex-
pressed fear the result would be severely
felt in Ohio.

News of the affair spread, and large
number of citizens engaged in a search
for the man. The Chinese residents de-
clared that they knew nothing of his
whereabouts, and, becoming alarmed,
went to Governor Mcdonnell and asked
for protection, stating that 200 citizens
had signed paper pledging to meet at
midnight and drive the Chinese out of
town.
The Government allowed some of the
frightened Chinese to hide in building
on his premises, and sent a communica-
ton to the Sheriff advising him of the
report. and urging him to take steps to
protect innocent Chinese. The Sheriff
swore in large number of Deputies and
patrolled Chinatown. The excitement
now has largely subsided, and both Gov
ernor and Representative Sweet appre-
hend no general movement against the
Chinese residents.

MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD.
Repair Work Can be Done There as

Repair Work Can be Done There as
satisfactorily as in the East.
WASHINGTON, May 26. = Secretary
Herbert has given approval to the find
lngs and recommendations made by
Captain Mathews as a result of his in
spection of the Mare Island California;
Navy Yard. The Secretary is gratified at
the nature of the report, as it enables him
to carry out plan which he has cher
ished as in the line of economy, and
which is calculated to build up important
naval interests on the Pacific Coast.
Captain Matthews found the plant and
equipment of the yard of first quality,
and capable of doing repair work of high
order, While the labor is thoroughly
skilled. Careful calculation shows the
cost of work there will compare very
favorably with that done in the East,
when due allowance is made for distance.
Consequently Secretary Herbert an
nounces that hereafter he will order all
repair work, not only for the Pacific
station, but also for vessels of the
Asiatic station to be done at the Mare
Island Navy Yard.
Heretofore it has been the practice of
the department to order the Asiatic YES
sells to proceed to the Atlantic Coast for
repairs, but the report of Captain Mat
thews shows that work can really be
more economically done at Mare
Island, when the cost of transportation is
taken into account.
Captain Matthews also, by direction of
the Secretary, closely inspected the coast
defense vessel Monterey, in view of the
reports that her boilers were ruined on
the trial trip. He found there was no
basis for the reports, and the vessel is in
an excellent condition. There are some
small leaks in the tube connections, but
these are insignificant, and nothing more
than an incident to boilers of all types,
which were severely tested.
