ELECTRICITY BUILDING.

moment later by strips of
light which spraug to life on all parts
of the administration building. The
entire structure was gilded with seams
of light running around the top
of the pavilIons and to the dome.
The effect was one Of SURPRISING
beauty. and was greeted with
great applause. Much disappointment
was felt later when it was made known
that the piece de resistance of the even
ing's diSplaY-the MacmonnieS fountain
-w>4ld not be Illuminated. Its two
companions were dark also, an undis-
covered break IN the wires causing the
postponement of the display.
Inside the administration building the
scene was one Of dazzling splendor, the
structure from the rotunda to the peak
of the splendid dome being CLEAN of
of fifty lights gave forth con-
slant glare. Lights surmouEted the
gallery two stories above and be-
fore the effect of this display could be
lost similar circle at the base of the
great dome caught the spirit of the
brilliant scene and sent the whole
against the magniticently decorated
dome with an effect never before
witnessed in an interior. The crowds
gaZed with speeches. Wonderment
upon the view, and instinctively fell
back into the shelter of the pavilion
supporting the dome to escape the
bewildering spectacle. The scene,
while one of intense brilliancy,
had withal remarkably soft
effect. The manufactures, machinery,
mines and mining, transportation and
horticultural buildings were also beauti-
fully Illuminated. 1t was ten o'clock
before the currents we're shut off and
the crowds left TOR home.

GRAIN MEN HOSTILE.
The Proposed Mammoth State
Elevator Causes Their Wrath
to Seethe and Bubble.
Attorney General ChiIds Renders
an Opinion on the Provisions
of the Law.

Grain Inspector Clausen and the mem
bers of the state railroad and warehouse
commission leave tonight for Duluth,
where they will inspect the four sites
which have been proposed for the
$4,000 state elevator provided for
by the late legislature. The new
act has created some feeling among the
grain and elevator men of the state
who concluded that the change in the
inspection and weighing fees was to APP
ply to all grain to arrive at or be shipped
from the terminal points of the state,
and meant an enforced arbitrary tax
upon their business, for the purpose of
building a state elevator at Duluth, to
compete with them in their line of bust
ness. The prospect therefore has set
the grain trade fairly wild. and many in
dignant protests have resulted there
from. A delegation of grain men called
on the commission few days ar" TO
ascertain what construction the car
placed upon the law. The commission
referred the matter to Attorney General
Childs, who submitted the following re-
port:

ROUTED THE HUSSARs.

MARsETLLES, May las trouble WAS
anticipated here in connection with the
observance of May day, detachments of
troops and gendarmes were placed on
guard at all the public offices and at
every place of popular resort. A large
part of the working population took
part in the celebration. Toward even
ing the crowds in the streets became
very disorderly. The police tried to ar
rest several socialists. who were waving
red flags and melting workmen to vio-
ence. A fight in which the police were
worsted followed. Hussars came to the
assistance of the police, and a general
fight was begun. Several soldiers and
policemen were badly cut and bruised.
NJ. .Flavot, municipal councillor, was
knocked down by the charging hussars,
his clothing was torn and he was kicked
and trampled under foot. He was re-
moved in a carriage to his home. After
the first charge of the hussars had been
repused a crowd of rioters cap
tured the police commissary, knocked
him down and dragged him in the dust.
He was rescued by the troops before
serious harm could be done him. By
united effort the military and police
eventually split the mob and drove off
the rioters. This evening bands of ruff
fans made attacks upon Isolated police
men. LII several districts disorderly
crowds were still parading at late
hour.

PHALEN ACREAGE CUT.
Eighty Acres to Be Taken From
the Park Tract Originally
Proposed.
If the Proposal Is Consummated,
seventy-Two Acres Only
Will Be Taken.

With the dignity of a Roman senator,
the patriarchal president of the park
board. Joseph A. Wheelock. directed
the deliberations at last nights session.
From a news standpoint very little was
accomplished.
The most important matter consid-
cred was the Phalen park project. A
resolution was introduced receding from
the former action of the board so as to
cut down the acreage to be acquired to
seventy-two acres. This is formal re-
duction of eighty acres, and will prove
a sore disappointment to public park
enthusiasts. The board, it is related, is
acting upon the advice of the board of
public works. This board explained
that assessments cannot be levied
against sufficient property to cover the
expense, and the board found itself in a
financial dilemma. The resolution was
laid over until the next meeting. as it
will require full attendance to take
action. Mr.. Horton was absent.
A communication was received asking
that the triangular tract at the junction
OF FairvieW and University avenues be
sodded and planted with flowers, shrub
berry and trees. This was referred to
the Superintendent, as were several
other communications of like import.
The superintendent suggested that
he be allowed to build a float represent
ing a miniature park and fountain to
aud to the pageant that is to make the
j. j. Hill reception famous. He was
directed to present more specific plans
at an adjourned meeting TO be held
this euening. The pay roll, amounting
to S736.45, was allowed, and the clerk
was directed to advertise for bids for
putting in pump at Como with 1.000,-
coo gallons daily capacity. The esti-
mated cost is s2.7O0. and the purpose is
to feed the lake and furnish water for
sprinkling purposes.
A resolution was adopted asking the
council to pass resolution urging citi-
zens to plant trees i'll front of resi-
denceS.

GLORIES OF NIGHT.
Wonderful EIec tr:c Examinations
of the Various Mammoth
Structures.
The Immense Administration
Building GiIded With Seams
of Light.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The splendors of
the night outshone the glories of the
day. That potent factor - electric
lty-was displayed in all its brill
fancy and rivaled for supremacy
the one CLEAN of noon-day sun
hat graced the opening cere-
monies. The center of attraction was,
as during the day, the administration
building and its court of honor, and
thither the masses floeked in multi
tudes. President Cleveland's departure
from the administration building short
ly after 5 o'clock was the signal for the
days crowd to leave, and the grounds
bore deserted appearance until nearly
half-past 6. Notwithstanding the chill
air which settled over the grounds as
the evening grew, people began to
gather early. and by the time darkness
had encrcled the White city multitude
filled the plaza from Administration
building to the peristyle.
The first touch of magic given the
night setting of electricity was fringe
of incandescent lights which sur
mounted the columns of the periStyIe
running from Music hall TO
the Casino. This was followed

whether the fees prescribed by section II OF
lapter 30 of the General Laws of 1893, for
the weighing and inspection of grain, apply
to all grain weighed and inspected by your
department, or are restricted to grain re-
ceived at the elevator TO be erected der the
provisions of the law referred to.
AS evidenced by its title, the provisions of
the said law apply only to the regulation of
the handling OF grain within the said eleva-
tor and to matters incidental thereto. l am
unable to discover any provision Of the said
law which repealS or mOdifies the powers
and duties OF your commission conferred by
the pre-eXisting law. Additional duties are
certainly thereby conferred; but there is no
provision which expressly or implicitly con-
templates a REIMBURSEMENT of supervision
over public elevators, as contemplated by
law prior to the passage of the act i'll ques-
ton.
The several acts of the legislature passed
at the late session. which are to be construed
in pari materia, clearly indicate that the SUI
pervision of the commission was sought to
be extended rather than restricted. The
manifest purpose Of said chapter is to pro-
vide for an elevator exclusively owned and
controlled by the state, to which grain may
be shipped and wherein it can be graded, in
spected and otherwise appropriately handled.
without interference by competing private
interests The expense Of constructing said
elevator and handling grain therein, is to be
largely met from fees authorized by the sec
III constituting the act in relation to the fees
thereby authorized, that the law cOntem-
plates additional ana valuable advantages to
the patrons of the elevator; and it
was, no doubt, i'll view of such ad-
YantageS, that SO high rate of ices
was adopted The fact that the rate so pro-
vided may tend to defeat the object sought
to be accomplished by the provisions of the
act, cannot, in view of the Language therein
employed affect the question. Whether or
not this be the necessary effect of the adop-
ton OF so high rate, 1t remains with the
commission to partially. if not wholly coun-
teract such i'll effects, by fixing the rate of
charges and the like, in said elevator, CORE
spondinglv low. Such charges are, as you
are aware, left to the discretion of the com
mission. Indeed, this course would seem
imperative, if the policy of this state, as
above suggested, IS to receive a fair and
proper test. | am very truly yours
II. w. CHILDs, Attorney General.
This construction Of the law will in
no way interfere with the process of
securing site and the erection of the
elevator, and the work will be pushed
as rapidly as conditions will warrant.
The point decided is that the earnings
of the elevator shall reimburse the gen
eral revenue fund, out of which the
money for its erection was appropri-
ated, which it will easily do in few
years after it is III operation from the
proceeds Of even moderate amount of
business.

Killed Himself in Church

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, May Last night
Elmer Randall, young farmer living
north of this city, made overtures to
Ida Brooks to attend church together.
The young lady refused, and attended
with another fellow. Randall went to
the church, and sat near the door. He
evidently brooded over his troubles, for
while the minister was eXpoundng the
Word he placed a pistol to his temple
and blew out his brains. The shooting
created panic IN the church,
