To he Omen sund.y..

The worlds fair gates will be
opened to the public on Sunday and
the vcxed question is settled. At the
regular monthly meeting of the local
directors of the worlds fair it was &c.
cided to open the gates of Jackson
park to the public for half the sum of
admittance to the fair during the
week-yiz 25 cents. This action has
nothing to do with opening the build.
ings. The latter will remain closed,
as required under the laws passed by
congress, and as agreed to when the
sum of S2,500,O0 0 was accepted from
the Fifty-second congress. The
action OF the board went into effect
the 2lst of this month. The vote by
which the resolution passed was q to
Z. Under the resolution, Midway
Plaisance will also be thrown open.
Edwin Walker, attorney for the
board, submitted an opinion ON the
question, and on the strength of this
opinion the board acted. Briefly,
Walker decided the exposition is one
thing and the exposition grounds are
altogether a distinct and separate
thing, and unless the national COM
mission acts vigorously to prevent it,
Jackson park will be open Sundays,
the exposition buildings remaining
closed.

IMMIGRATION.
The Senate Com,aitte. witt Ellis Islam,
to See How the Law Works.

The Scnate Committee Witt Ellis Island
to See How the Law Works.
The senate investigating commit.
tee on immigration matters went to
Ellis island a few days ago. They
were met on the island by DR.. SEN
ner, commissioners of immigration.
Surgeon-General Wyman, Of the
Marine Hospital service. explained
to the committee what preparations
had been made by the federal author.
titles to prevent the entrance of
cholera.
The committee spent the entire
morning in watching the working of
the new immigration law. While
they were at the island about 5000
immigrants were landed and regis
tered. .
There are five registering clerks
and beside each one stood a senator.
1t is the unanimous opinion that the
law is an improvement on the old and
will be a success. The senators re-
turned to DIR. Senner's office and be-
gan an examination.
James A. Wright, second vice-presi-
dent of the International Navigation
Company said it was probable that
the number of immigrants during the
year 1893 would be unusually large.
He said he was not aware that there
was an organized effort on the part of
steamship companies to encourage
immigration to this country. He
considered the new immigration law
a good one, and practicable. To put
the new law into operation would re-
quire more employees and necessarily
more money. Mr.. Wright considered
the Russian Jews the least desirable
classof immigrants.
Senator Chandler then said as a re-
suit of the Investigations SO far he
was satisfied that Commissioner Sem
ner and all on the island were doing
all in their power to carry out the
new law. But, he said, it seems that
more help is needed, and, therefore,
more money. He, for one. would
recommend a more liberal appropri-
alton Of money.
Senator Faulkner said he endorsed
what Senator Chandler had said.
SIN other words, "said Senator Hill,
"thc new law should have a chance
to be tried without being handicap
ped for want of funds"
The meeting then adjourned to con-
vene again June 1.

REAL wRArHY.
Sir Charles Russell Looses n,s rcmper IA
the Seal Trouble.

y &Bt8GASD 1NVU00A1 AVOSt6 HIS AC"R0x IN
the Seal Trouble.
Sir Charles Russell resumed his
argument in the Bering sea tribunal
Of Arbitration. Sir Charles arguedit
was impossible there could be prop
erty rights In seals in Boring sea. He
dwelt on the far reaching effects upon
international rights that would ensue
from comforting the power claimed
by the American counsel on behalf Of
the United States to seize foreign yes
sells in time Of peace.
Sir Charles, in dilating upon seiz-
ures OF Canadian vessels by Ameri-
cans for seal catching in Bering sea,
insisted that the seizures were made
on the high seas without previous
diplomatic eXpostulation. Bayard,
when secretary of state, never tried
to justify the seizures on the ground
that the United States had property
rights in the seals.
Here followed a sharp exchange of
contradictions between Senator Nor.
gan, American arbitrator, and Sir
Charles and T.. J. Phelps. Sir Charles
got excited and angry and declared
the Interruptions were uncalled for.
Sir Charles then proceeded to re-
view the diplomatic correspondence
between Great Britain and the United
States on the subject of the Bering
sea. He read extracts from a COM
m%unication sent by Lord Salisbury in
reply to a communication of Mr..
Blaine under dateof January %, 1890,
arguing thatunless the nations should
agree, pelagic contra bonus mores
seizures were not justifiable.
The alteration during Sir Charles
Russell's address was so hot that it
threatened to jeopardize the whole
arbitration, Sir Charles Russell, Sem
ator Morgan, Lord Hammer, Baron
de Correct, Mr.. Phelps and Justice
Harlan spoke with high spirit and
occasionally with bitterness. Sena-
tor Morgan and Mr.. Phelps declined
to guarantee that the United States
would accord damages for seizures,
even if the tribunal decided against
them. Lord Hammer exclaimed:
"Thcn, our whole arbitration is USE
less and the whole question will be re-
opened"
Finally the difficulty was adjusted
temporarily by a decision that discus
sion of the question of liability be
postponed.

HE .sEvER MAKES MISTAKES.
A Bank Clerk Who Paid Out One sso,
bill too Much.

A hank Clerk Who Paid Out One $500
BILL too Much.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: "The
rule at banks and other establishments
where sums Of money are paid out
not to rectify mistakes after the re-
celver has left the building is of
course a necessary one," said Walter
S. Dale, of San Francisco, who was at
the Southern last night; ''but it is
one of those rules of which no honest
man cares to take advantage. Not
long ago I needed some currency to
close a real estate transaction, and
going to my bank filled up u counter
check for $4,000, receiving $500 bills
for it. counted them casually and
there appeared to be six. but when /
counted them outagain an hour later
there were clearly seven. AS O as
l could I went back to the bank and
asked the teller If he did not make a
mistake in cashing my check. He noti.
fed me very haughtily that lie never
made mistakes andif he did there
was an invariable rule not to rectify
errors after the window had been left.
l was so annoyed with the way in
which this was said that I walked
outof the bank. At about. $3.50 the
young man entered my office with all
his haughtincss gone, and asked me
If l was quite sur he had not given
me u $500 bill too much, explaining
that his cash was short, and that
was the only customer to whom he
had given bills of that denomination
that day. 1t was my turn now and
reminded him very coolly with the
fact that nc mistakes were ever recti.
fed in the irregular manner he sug.
gested. To punish him / very stern.
ly declined to argue the point, and ]
am afraid he must have spent q very
sleepless night. I returned him his
$500 In the morning, and added two
or three words Of advice which he
was too delighted to resent. His
manner has been considerably less
sarcastic and smart ever slnce.n

The Chinese Dec:sinn.

Thousands of people assembled in
San Francisco to celebrate the Chinese
decision. and it was arranged to have
a general labor parade Saturday
night. Interviews with DIR. Condit,
head of the Presbyterian Chinese
missions on the Pacific coast, who
has spent much time in China, and
Reunj Poon Chew, his Chinese assist
ant, agree in the statement that the
first resultof the supreme court decis-
ion will be the severing of all diplo-
matte relations with the United States
by China, and this will be followed by
an order driving all Americans from
that country, including missionaries.
1t will be impossible to check the
fury CT the Chinese populacc, who
will almost certainly destroy all
churches, schools and kill many mis-.
sionaries. Orders have been issued
MOTTO send any more missionaries, and
many of those already there are leav.
ing or are on their way home. Some
are expected here today. Rev. Condit
has a letter from a missionary who
had an interview with Prime Minis.
ter Ii Hung Chang, who said all tho
Americans would be driven out in
case the Chinese were deported from
the United States. He believes ali
commercial relations with the United
States have also been severed.

Trained Fish.

Fish have many times been taught
to perform tricks, and it would ap-
pear as if they had much more intel
ligence than is attributed to them.
j. A. Bailey, of circus fame, once had
two brook trout in a small aquarium
in his private residence, that would
jump at flies held between the fore
finger and thumb and would also ring
a little bell when they required food.
They would also leap over little bars
of wood placed about two inches above
the surface.
1t is a very simple matter to teach
the fish these tricks. AT first a little
tower containing a tiny, sweet
toned silver bell was fastened to the
iron work of the aquarium with a
piece of string attached to the tongue
of the bell extending into the water
where the fish were. On the loose
end of the string an insect or other
tempting morsel was placed, which
the fish would at once seize, and pull
ing the cord the bell would naturally
tinkle. After this had been repeated
several days, the fish were left with
out food for some time until they
made the discovery that they could
obtain it by pulling at the string to
which the delicacies had been at
tached. This they never failed to do
ever afterward when they were hun
cry and as that was nearly all the
time the little bell was constantly
tinkling as the fish were continually
pulling the cord, and it was quite q
pretty and novel sight.-New York
Herald.

1t is satisfactory to learn that Col
onel @. j. Murphy, European agent of
the United States department of agri-
culture, reports a continued and in
creasing demand for American corn
meal food products. This is especi-
ally true OF Germany, where the prob
lem of cheap subsistence for human
beings is 50 serious a one. At the
same time we must not forget that
the increased demand is greatly owing
to the patriotic efforts of "Cornmeal
Murphy" himself.

All Hands Satisfied.

In reply to inquiries concerning
the city's compromise proposition,
for the settlement of it's indebted
ness to the National bank, Col.
Breckenridge says:
81 think they wanted to do the
best they could for me. The prop
osition is satisfactory to my attOr-
neys, and that is all | ask"
In speaking of the disposition of
the notes, he said:
"The notes will probably be dis
tributed among the banks, and the
city business will probably be di-
vided among them also. Every
bank which takes notes ought to
be entitled to a part of the city's
deposits, and as far as my influence
goes, | shall urge that all of them
have deposits, in proportion to the
notes they take"
On the local money situation
Col, B. take a favorable view:
"the local situation is all right.
Many of the demands for discounts
come from distance. We have
always run down at this time of
the year in deposits and not more
this year than any other. San An
tonic in the present as in the past,
has stood a close money market
better than any city in the south"
The people are also satisfied
with the stand taken by our mayor
and alderman, because the tax
payers are saved about $4,000 a
year in interest. a few more
savings like this and the city will
soon be able to liquidate all its in
debtness in cash.

CAPTAIN MACKEY's VIEWS.
He Does Not Favor the Proposed
Water Works But Wants
Sewerage

"SAOSS'
Captain Nelson Mackey returned
yesterday from a visit to the
Worlds fair and several northern
cities, where he met with success
in business. He was seen by a re-
porter last night, who asked him
what he thought of the proposed
sewerage and waterwOrks system
in San Antonio, and the action of
the mayor. The captain replied to
the reporter as follows:
"Well sir. Had 1 been mayor, |
would have advertised in the
northern papers offering two pre-
miums, Say $4,000 for the first and
ST. for the second, best system of sew
erage from this city; a system tia t
would be adopted by the council.
In that way one would get the
best sewerage engineers in the
United States. In that way we
would get value received, for even
if we would not accept that sys-
TENS, we would have their ideas.
| would do it with the view of be-
ing independent of the water
works company and get our water
for slushing the sewers from the
Upper Labor ditch, which has
plenty to spare, with fall of l07
feet to the First Mission.
~ am Satisfied, if we did not
have this reserved water to use as
we see fit, that if it had been laid
before Mr.. Breckenridge, he would
have selected plan to furnish
water with not cent of expense
to the city.
at would have been far better
to have the support of Mr.. Brack-
enridge in the matter of sewerage,
than his i'll will. AS for money
through his bank, which held the
old administration and in the be-
ginning of the new, he furnished
the same loans that he has done
" he l there isn't another bank in
tt city which would have done it,
or which had sufficient means with
which to do it.
81 would like to see the city own
the present water works sys-
tenn, [ prefer the purchasing
instead of antagonizing the pres
ent system. ] am in favor of not
only purchasing the water works,
but the head waters of the San Ar.
tonic, and the ground on which
Mr.. Breckenridge lives, for a pub
lie park; and now that the time
has about expired, only s years yet,
for the Water Works company o
run, it would be buSinesslike to
confer with Mr.. Breckenridge, with
a view of making this purchase
and having with it his good will"

A WINNER.

1t was COLONEL TENNYsoN who re-
marked that "The jingling of the guinea
helps the hurt that honor ~teels," or words
to that effect.
However that may be, libel suits there
have been since the law held it a crime
for a man to lie, with malice aforethought,
about his neighbor to the detriment OF
said neighbours business OF character, and
libel suits there will be so long as men
forget to bride their pens when handling
the name of a successful rival.
In the suit of w. C. BRADsHER against
JAMES A. CHEEK, which has been in
court for nearly three years, only reach
ing a decision this morning, the jury
agreed that Mr.. BRADsHER had sus-
tanned, through the Misrepresentation OF
said CHEEK, damages amounting to
s., 600.
This, while it might owe any pecu-
mary losses which the misrepresentation
in question may have Occasioned Mr.,
BRADsHER, is poor recompense for the
modification and humiliation necessa.
rily experienced by any man Of honor
who finds himself charged with drunken
ness and murder and nameless crimes OF
which he never dreamed and to which he
could never stoop.
Money consideration can never, in
THE GLOBES opinion, pay for slandering
a man who is honest and decent. A
good name cannot be bought, and it
should not be sold.
Yet the libel suit, as an example and
warning, is a good thing. 1t serves to
stay the tongue of malice and put un,
scrupulOus people on their guard, who
otherwise would know no bounds when
pursuing an enemy.
In the suit just closed the general opin,
ion is that the verdict is a just one, and
that MR.. BRADsHER should have been
INDICATED.
