will begin. You will be confused by
the crowd and strange streets, and will
have but the vaguest notion of where
| to go or how to get there if you do
| know. In the first case you can leave
your trunks for twenty-four hours in the
baggage-room, where they will be safe
and will cost nothing for storage. Hand
| baggage can be left at the checking
counter, which is to be found in each
station, for a day for ten cents for each
package. Thus relieved of bundles, you
can ask a policeman how to get to a
certain point on street car or you can
take cab.
The legal rate of fare for one-horse
vehicle for one mile or less for one or
two persons is fifty cents For the sec
ond and subsequent miles, twenty-five
cents. If taken by the hour the rate is
seventy-fve cents per hour. For two
horse carriages twice this amount may
be demanded for two persons and fifty
cents additional for every passenger
over this number. Children under four
teen are charged twenty-five cents, but
those under five years are carried free.
One trunk not exceeding one hundred
pounds in weight and twenty-five
pounds of hand baggage is also taken
free of charge. All the downtown
hotels are within mile of any of the
railway stations. The visitor may sto
at one of these for day for from three
to five dollars and have time to secure
a boarding place. 1t would be cheaper
for you, however, to leave Your trunks
at the station, take a valise and UNI
brella and go at once to Jackson park
by any one of the five routes of rapid
transit.
To get to Jackson park from any
point downtown take the State street
or Wabash avenue cable line or the
ALLEY L. farther down, any one of
which will take you to the fair for five
cents. The Illinois Central may be
boarded on the lake front or you may
go by boat from the foot of Van Buren,
street. Either of these routes will cost
twenty-five cents for the round trip;
the train makes the trip in fifteen min
utes, the boat in forty-five, but when
time is not an object ride ON a gay
steam launch with music by band

the more enjoyable. The Illinois Gen.
trail road will probably sell communal
ton tickets of twenty-five rides at a
substantial reduction on a single ride,
as they do now to suburban pas
sengers. If your rooms are more
than mile from any of the entrances
to Jackson park this item of transport
tation has to be considered in the ex-
penses. 1t will not be wise to walk
much outside the grounds, as you will
have all the walking you want inside.
The distance from the center of the
city to Jackson park is seven miles, and
the journey occupies from twenty to
forty-tive minutes, according to the
route you take, but if your rooms are
on the North or West side of the city a
connecting car line will have to be
taken and five cents more paid.
All roads coming into Chicago will
land passenger in the terminal sta
ton in Jackson park for the price of
one admission to the fair and ten cents
in addition to the price of your railway
ticket. 1t is by far the simplest and
cheapest plan, since in the fair grounds
you can transact all the necessary bust
ness incident to arrival in strange
city. In the terminal station you may
check your hand baggage, have the
free use of a well-equipped toilet room
and get a lunch as simple or as elab-
crate as you wish.
Thus refreshed you can send off tele-
grams to friends or write letters. If
you wish to do this ask Columbian
guard to direct you to your state build
ing. This will be your headquarters
while at the fair, a place in which you
have part and may feel at home.
One of the first things to be done is
to deposit all money except the amount
necessary for weeks expenses. 1t is
unsafe to carry considerable sum
about you. You can deposit your
checks, drafts or money on certificate
of deposit in a bank on the grounds, or
rent a box in safety deposit vault for
a small fee, you having the only key to
the box. Money orders may be pur-
chased or cashed at the worlds fair
post Office.
This attended to. return TO. the
terminal station, where the principal
Office of the bureau of public comfort
is located, and resign yourself to its
care with entire faith.

DIR. Hayes Held for Trial.

ABILENE, Tex, May 12.-Dr. J. w.
Hayes. prominent physician of Arson,
Tex, who was on last Sunday arrested
charged with the burning of that town,
which entailed loss of over $3.50, 00O,
had an examining trial before j. p. ST.
Ter, justice of the peace. The evidence
introduced was exceedingly damaging
to DIR. Hayes throughout. Hayes, while
in court, was so sick that he had to use
a cot. His bond was fixed at 50, 500, in
default of which he was again sent to
Jail. Excitement is not now so high.
The courthouse was jammed long be-
fore the trial hour.

THE BEHRING ARBITRATION.
Sir Charles Russell Presents the British
Side of the Dispute.

Sir Charles Russell Presents the British
Side of the Dispute.
| PARIS, May 12.-IIon. James Il. Eustis,
American ambassador, was present at
the session of the Behring sea tribunal
of arbitration. Sir Charles Russell re-
! sumed his argument, which was large
! ly devoted to the technical features
of the controversy. Sir Charles
argued that it was impossible that
there could be property in the seals
in the Behring sea, and he sup
ported his contention with quota
tons from American jurists, and in
particular from Prof Woolsey's writ
ings on international law. Sir Charles
dwelt on the far-reaching effects upon
international rights that would ensue
from comforting the power claimed by
American counsel in behalf of the
United States to seize foreign vessels
in time of peace. Sir Charles claimed
that Great Britain represented. in this
controversy. the rights of nations.
Sir Charles Russell in dilating upon
the seizures of Canadian vessels by the
Americans for seal catching in Behring
sea, insisted that the seizures had been
made on the high seas, without pre-
vious diplomatic expostulation. Mr..
Bayard when secretary of state had
never tried to justify the seizures on
the ground that the United States had
property right in the seals.
Here followed sharp exchange of
contradictions between Senator Nor
gan, American arbitrator, Sir Cha rles
Russell and E. ]. Phelps. Sir Charles
got excited and angry and declared the
interruptions uncalled for. Sir Charles
then proceeded to review the diplomatic
correspondence between Great Britain
and the United States on the subject

So much is said and written of the
glorious progress of women, the victor
les gained, the privileges and preroga-
tives acquired. that it is forgotten some
times under what disadvantages women
still labor. In the higher institutions
of learning in this country and abroad
women by no means enjoy equal priv
ileges with men. The facilities for
medical study are still far from equal
or adequate. Particularly in expert
mental study and practice in the hos
pitfalls women have few and unsatisfac-
tory opportunities. Law schools are
rarely open to them, and in many states
women can not be admitted to the bar.
Only two of the orthodox denomina-
tions allow women to preach with the
sanction of the church, and the great
body of MethOdists refuse to the women
of their denomination a voice in their
councils. Above all, in nearly all pro-
LESSONS and callings, women receive
smaller salaries and inspire less conf
dence in their ability than the men in
the same lines of work.-N. Y. Sun.

Beyond the statement given out officially
the Governor declined to make any COM
ment whatever for publication, but to his
friends he confded the statement that the
selection OF Senator had been q most try
ing task.
While he refused to talk of De Young
his'friends aver that at no time was his
name seriously considered. Markham,
however. did mention De Young's name to
Burns ten days ago. and Burns resorted to
a ruse to prevent the possibility of such an
appointment. He went direct to San
Francisco and had the information con-
veyed to a N orning paper that Mike was
to succeed Stanford. That was the story
given TO the world the following morning,
and the willy colonel chuckles in his sleeve.
Ihe result was just what he expected. The
pare announcement aroused the indigna-
ton of the State, and kilograms and letters
OF protest poured in by thousands. For
day or. two it seemed as if every man,
woman and child in the State was up in
arms, and the Governor made hasty trip
to San Francisco. There he found the
sentiment more pronounced even than he
had expected. Day after day he was

electoral consumption If the politicians

was an ingenious attempt to utilize Egypt
for this purpose. but the khedive's
courage failed him and the enterprise fell
through. Now little Siam is to be ex-

Apparently the French have persuaded
themselves that England cannot object to
the dismemberment of Siam because she
herself recently grabbed Upper Durmah.
This is melancholy lack OF information
about the present case and an almost
startling ignorance OF the English char
acter.

other people to initiate his own high-handed
aggressions. and at the suggestion OF any

Brief Biographical Sketch of tht

New senator.
George c. Perkins, who has been ap-

Rut Perkins was not cut out for a miner.
The commercial instincts of New England
directed him into the prosaic but ut that
time very profitable bushes Of teaming
and numbering. He attended strictly TO
business. and soon became an honored
and popular member Of the community.
In 1868 Mr.. Perkins was elected to rep
resent Butte County in the State Senate.
This political preferment was an unfore-
seen step toward his present position in
the mercantile world. At Sacramento he
formed the acquaintance Of Assemblyman
Goodall of San Francisco. Together they
frequently discussed shipping affairs, the
result being the formation of copartuer-

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Secretary Car
ljsle this morning authorized the Associ-
ated Press to state that he fully approves
of the policy pursued Ia his absence by
acting Mint Director Preston in purchas-
ing silver. and that the same policy Will
govern silver purchases Ia the immediate
future. This statement will set at rest ru-
mors that the Secretary would on his re-
turn reverse the policy OF the treasury IN
purchasing silver. Preston was lntrusted
by Secretary Carlisle with entire discretion
in purchasing silver when he LETT en- his
vacation.
This morning with the approval OF Sec
retary Carlisle he refused to purchase
100, coo ounces of silver at 70 cents, the Lon
don price being about 69Ea cents. This lot
was part of lot offered yesterday at 73
cents and was declined and counter offer
made of 711a cents. which the holder re-
fused to accept. This morning he offered
as stated 100000 ounces at 20 cents. but
Preston informed the oferer that he only
purchased silver on silver days-Mondays.
Wednesdays and Fridays. The total Sill
yer purchased so far this month Is ABOUT
100000 ounces, besides some local pur-
chases which may bring the total up 10
1000, 900 ounces.
1t is not expected the total of 4.500.0 900
ounces will be purchased this month, out
this does not worry the treasury ofhc'als,
as Secretary Carlisle holds with Preston
that the law does not require the treasury
to purchase that amount in case 1t Is not
offered within the market price.
Since the 1st Of January nearly 200 ma

This latter bank, which closed its doors
to-day, had, by the last report, received
$500, 900 of United States funds. The Gov

by these failures. as each national bank
that Is a Government depository has to

of Government money it is allowed to
carry.
In addition to the heavy failure Of the
Government Depositors' Bank at Louis
