NEW YORK, May 13.-The Rev. Wilbur
F. Crafts, the chairman Of the new ma
tionRl committee on Sunday closing Of
the Worlds Fair, recently organized at
Columbus by officers Of the American
Sabbath Union, the Womens Christian
Temperance Union, the Endeavor soci-
eties and other bodies, are ia New York
to-day arranging by telegraph for an
earnest resistance to the proposed Sun
day opening Of the Worlds Fair, which
was yesterday voted by the directors Of
the fair.
The committee expect that hundreds
OF mass meetings by resolutions and
thousands Of individuals by letters will
appeal to President Cleveland and Attor-
ney General Olney to defend thels by
injunction or otherwise IN the courts.
Mr.. Crafts has q letter from President
Palmer, Of the Columbian commission,
saying he will defend the law. He will
be supported by resolutio rs and letters.
The committee expects to employ able
counsel also. The secretary Of the COM
mittee, Rev. Fl. II. George, of Beaver
Falls, Pa, is sending out an appeal to
the public.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, May 13.-The
action Of the directors last night in de-
Gliding to open the gates Of the fair to the
public on Sunday, beginning with Sun
day, May 81, has caused flutter among
the members of the Worlds Fair national
commission. They gathered in the as
sembly hall of the commission and dis
cussed the matter.
A good many expressed the belief that
the directory had exceeded it's authority,
and talked Of getting an injunction to
restrain the officials from permitting the
directory to open the fair.
The national commission had lively
fight to-day. The chief topic for dis
cussion was the action Of the local di-
rectory regarding the opening Of the
fair on Sundays. The question came up
when Secretary Edmonds, Of the local
directory, came in with q message from
President Higinbothsm, containing the
report Of the action on the Sunday ques-
tion, taken by the directors at the meet
ing last night. Commissioners Burton, Of
Kansas, moved to refer the report to the
committee on judiciary. A long Wrangle
followed. Commissioner st. Clair led
the opposition to this action and In
spirited speech talked OF calling upon
President Cleveland, il necessary, to en-
force the mandate Of congress. He held
that the only way the gates could be
lawfully opened was for the national
and the local directors
each to pass q joint resolution repeating
the rule forbidding the opening of the
fair Sundays. After a dozen or more

the matter was referred to the commit

A BROKEN RESERVOIR.

Four Elves Lost and $4,000 Damage
Done at Portland, Me.
PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 6.-The great
reservoir of the Portland Water COM
pany, on the eastern promenade, burst
this morning, letting loose its 10000, 900
gallons OF water in the space of about 15
minutes. The immense mass of water
thus suddenly loosed dashed with
mighty power upon two houses occupied
by the families OF Michael Lappin and
Dennis Conley. The buildings were
crushed as if they had been made of
cardboard. Four persons lost their lives,
Mrs. Dennis Conley, Agnes Conley,
Mamie Conley and James Messley.
Both houses stood but few feet from
reservoir fence, and high wall of clay
loomed up 80 feet more above them.
Fortunately the break in the bank was
discovered early and the residents in
the vicinity were warned of the impend-
ing danger, which enabled them to
reach place of safety, else the loss of
life would have been much greater.
The flood tore up the street to depth
of elk feet. The damage done amounts
to $25 900.

A Gigantic Scheme to Secure Govern

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.--Since the close oi
the silver convention, George F. Wash.
burn OF Boston, chairman of the eastern
division of the national committee oil
the Peoples party. and Col. A. @. Fisk
of Denver, president of the Pan-Ameri-
can Bimetallic association, together

relief to the country and make at once
an issue OF two OF the pet planks OF their
platform. j. III. Davis of Texas, who
was the Populist candidate for attorney
general year ago, is legal counsel for
the Populists. 1t is alleged that the
money stringen,y has affected trans
portation go greatly that the re-
ceipts of many western roads have
fallen off fully one-third, and
receiverehips for some of them have
already been asked for, which would
also mean the ruin of commercial and
industrial interests in every western
and southern state. Washburn states
that most of the stock of there roads is
held in New England, they being Boston
enterprises, and the loss of dividends
and threatened ruin is rapidly changing
sentiment in that section in favor Of
government ownership of railroads, as
we'll as for bimetallism.
The plan proposed is that the national
government issue bonds for all legal and
just indebtedness, being governed by
tho Qnd onk xuhso al.
now exists {the amount is estimated to
be about two-thirds of the value of the
railroads) and the issuance of legal
tender treasury notes or silver
certificates for the remaining
one-third. Objection was raised to the
Populists' plan to pay one-third in
treasury notes, which would greatly in
crease the price of products in the conn
try, but it is claimed this issuance OF
treasury notes would afford immediate
financial relief and inaugurate a period
of prosperity unparalleled in the history
Of the world. The Populists do not pro-
pose that the government shall buv all
the railroads at once, but go gradually
that no shock will be felt in the money
market.
Populists say while their party is op-
pUocQ w nDy LOW lbbUduC0 VI uaLl0QAl
bonds, no objection could be offered to
an even exchange of bonds which al
ready exist, and the bonds could be
gradually paid, and in few
years the government would own the
railroads. 1t ia claimed the plan would
not antagonize the existing railroad in
terests, and if the government owned
all the railroads west of the Mississippi
river, instead OF being competitive to
eastern roads, they would be distribu-
tive, and could be used by the govern
ment to move crops to markets at cost,
and in this way develop the resources
Of the great western country, and thereby
stimulate trade. The uninhabited Sec
ton could be colonized, thus relieving
the cities from their present congested
state.
Several additional arguments are ad-
luced. Washburn will leave for WASH
ngton tomorrow to have the matter
presented to congress.
