SUNDAY AT THE FAIR.
The Gates Closed to Thousands of
Working People.

Chicago, May THE rules to close the
gates for the worlds fair on Sunday were
rigidly enforced to-day, at least, so far as
the ticket-purchasing public was con-
cerned. The fortunate hundreds who
held passes were admitted, however. and
allowed to wander about the grounds at
their will. 1t was a beautiful day, and
thousands Of workingmen, some of them
with families, went to the fair
gounds under the impression
that the gates were to be
opened. AID when these tOiIers
were turned away they left in anything
but good humor. 1t was highly aggra-
waiting TO them TO see the favored hun
dreds, even thousands, enter the grounds
on passes, while they who worked all the
week were excluded. The validity Of the
law Of congress closing the gates is to be
tested in the courts this week Charles
w Clingman, who is a stOckholder in the
fair, has served notice on Secretary Ed
monds that he will appeal TO the courts to
open the fair on Sunday. In his letter he,
in the interest Of the working people, and
as a representative Of other stockholders.
demanded that the people be admitted
Sunday the same as other days in the
week

LABOR'S DEMONSTRATION.
Hyde Parks Entire Space Filled With
Men and Women.

Resolutions Passed at Twenty-one
Platforms in Favor of Legal
s-Hour Day-Meetings Held in Glas-
gov, Manchester, Dublin and Other
Cities.
London, May z. The annual
S-hour demonstration of London working
men was-nade to-day in Hyde park The
weather was fine and all the proceedings
conducted with exceptional enthusiasm.
All the principal unions had appointed
delegates to take part in the professions.
These delegates met on the Thames en-
banlment, were formed in line,
and marched through cheering
crowds of laborers to the park,
where they We're divided among the au-
diences at the numerous speakers plat
forms. The entire open space in the park
was filed with men and women. AT
twentNOne platforms resolutions were
passed in favor of a legal S-hoVr day of
every trade which voted for it. AT every
meeting collections were taken for the
Hull strikers.
The most notable speech of the day was
made by John Burns, member of parlia-
meht. The S-hour movement, he said,
was making rapid progress. The success of
the S-hour bill for miners was evidence
of this progress as well as an earnest of
further successes. The bill was mani
festo from the wOrkingmen to the rich
and idle. 1t meant uprisings against the
system which sent the laborer to the hos
pital on account of premature old age or
to the grave for lack of work. Burns
described parliament as an organized con-
spiracy Of land and capital. Machinery
nowadays, he said, was the crown of
thOrns on the head Of the labor Christ,
who was being Crucifed between two
thieves, capital and landlordism.
IN OTHER ENGGLIsH CITIES.
Meetings held to-day in Hull. Glasgow,
Manchester, Birmingham and other
cities with large laboring popua-
tions passed resolutions in favor of the

RYAN AND M'GEoUGH.
Another Knock Down in the Rotunda
of the Kimball House.

Atlanta, Ga, May 7.-Peter McGeough,
the canny Scot from Baltimore who once
before felt the weight of Steve Ryan s
athletic fist, was again the victim of that
same fist this evening in the Kimball
house rotunda. When McGeough and the
fist met it was with no gentle force, for
well-muscled arm was behind it, which
felled Peter to the marble floor. Not once
but several times did McGeough measure
his length on the cold marble He made
a feeble resistance but the cyclonic
Stoves well-aimed punches were so force
full that it did not amount to much. When
the two struggling men were parted by
the spectators McGeough was
PITIABLE LOOKING OBJECT.
Blood was flowing from his nose, his
lips and his face, beaten into jelly, were
swollen and cut. The original cause of
the fracas was a sentence in a banquet
speech made at Baltimore by McGeOugh.
In that address he made reference to
Ryan as making money like prince and
spending il like a thief A year or more
after McGeough, going to Ryan's store
trying to sell bill Of goods, was recog-
nized as the man who had denounced him,
although he gave a different name, and
then and there without ceremony was en-

afterward he maintained that he had

pretty severe language about Mr. Ryan.

McGeough in the Kimball he tackled him
savagely, with the result stated above
No arrests were made, but charges of
fighting have been entered against both
men at the station. McGeough is badly

United States, which win begin in this
city on the 18th inst, are about complete.
They have been conducted bya committee

sermon was preached In anticipation of
JnlS gathering the old pew occupied by
the martyred President, removed when
the church was refurnished several years
ago, has been restored to the place which
II so long occupied, and win doubtless
be an object of much interest to those
who attend. The approaching session of
the assembly will be one most important
IN the history of the church.
THE SUBJECTS TO BE DISCUSSED.
Three subjects win engross its atten-
ton, coming over from the meeting at
Portland last year These are the report
OF the committee on seminaries, an appeal
OF the committee which prosecuted Prof.
Briggs from the action Of the New York
presbytery, and a revision of the confes-
sion OF faith. Action upon these will be
watched with intense interest all
over the country, for they
represent in concrete form the agitation
and unrest which for several years have
been prevalent throughout the religious
world. A partial poll has been made of
the ministers of the church from the re-
suits of which is the belief Of many that
the question of revision will be relegated
to the background for the present and
that, therefore, the Briggs case will be
the most important and interesting topic
of consideration.
COincidentally with the. general Assem-.
bly, will be held the annual meetings OF
the women's foreign and home missionary
societies, auxiliary to the boads of the
church.

A TERRIBLE SCENE.
The widest CONSERVATION reigned on

The boat could proceed no further and
for several hours it lay at the bank while
the unfortunate victims lay on deck

aid. At last the tug Argus hove in sight
She was hailed and the sufferers, twenty

EXECUTIVE MANSION. Nav s. 1go3.

tiOn:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, May g. 1893.
1t has become apparent after two months
experience that the rules heretofore pro
mulgated relating to interviews with the
President have wholly failed in their opera
ton The time which under those
rules was set apart for the recep-
tion of senator's and representatives
has been almost entirely spent in listening TO
applications for office, which have been bewiI-
derng in volume, perpleXing and exhausting
in their iteration and impossible of remem-
brance. A due regard for public duty which
must be neglected If present conditions CON
tlnue and the observance of the limitations
placed upou human endurance oblige me to
decline. from and after this date ali personal
interviews with those seeking appointment to
office, except as l, on my own motion may
especially invite them. The same considera-
tions make 1t impossible for me to receive
those who merely desire to pay their respects
eqcept on the day and during the hours es-
pecially designated for that purpose l
earnestly request senators and representa-
tives to aid me in securing for them uninter-
rupted interviews by declining to introduce
their constituents and friends when visiting
the executive mansion during the hours
designated for their reception. Applicants
for office will only prejudice their prospects
by repeated opportunity and by remaining
al Washington to await results.
