woRLD's FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, Sep.
16 There are many intricate ppblems
involved In the proposition to keep the ex-
position open after October u for any
length of time, no matter how unanimous
may be the action of the local board of di-
rectors at its meeting to- morrow. One OBJ
stacle to be overcome is the unwillingness
of many foreign commissioners and cxhib-
itors t. remain any longer away from their
homes than the contracts between their
government and the exposition calls for.
In speaking on this point to many Of
the British and Colonial commissioners
and exhibitors the invariable reply was
"We want to get away from here and 60
homo. There il only extra expense for US
In this scheme to continue the Fair, al
though IL would no doubt put money in
and our employers have made no provision
for this extra expense, and we would not
be In favor of keeping our part Of the expo
sition here after October"
There II another reason why many Of the
foreign exhibitors object TO prolonging
their stay In Chicago. They have openly
declared among themselves that they hare
been greatly disappointed at the lack OF en-
tertainment Ia their honor by the officials
Of the exposition and wealthy citizens Of
Chicago who are identified with the Fair
management. They have taken umbrags
over this alleged failure Of Chicago's four
hundred to invite them to their homes, and
the reasons tho foreigners assign among
themselves for the apparent neglect are
not at all complimentary.

The first great contingent of these dis

of the waiting rooms at the union depot and
turned them into barracks. where they
slept ON the hard floors until late In the
afternoon. Several women were In the
company, one with babe which was des.

note anything that went on about them.
Many of the men told pitiful stories of
waiting In line for days for certificate,
and then going In packed trains only to
find everything gobbled. Enoch Hooker

BLAMED FOR FOUR DEATHS.
Husssy Bros. Did Wretohsd Work on the
Chelsea Yacht Club House.

CHELSEA, Mass, Oct. Especial Justice
Hart, before whom the inquest was held
as to the cause Of the Chelsea Yacht club
disaster, on Aug. 8, 1898, has rendered a
verdict finding that Matilda Shuman,
Christina Putnam, John r. Warren and
A. l.. Pemberton. the victims, came to
their deaths In consequence of the defec-
tive construction of the balcony Of the
clubhouse, causing a part Of the balcony
to break down and precipitating the per-
sons to the float or landing stage in the
water below.
! From the weight and character of the
evidence given at the inquest, the court
said II could reach only one conclusion,
which Ia summed up as follows:
II the balcony had boen properly built by
tho contractors, Hussey Bros. OF Lynn, il
would have been entirely adequate TO sustain
any possible weight or strain that could have
been put upon IL, and this serious calamity
would never have occurred. Either the con-
tractors had no special training or knowledge
of the mechanical principles involved In the
srections of buildings nor any comprehension
of the risks comprised In a faulty construc-
ton of work Of this character, or having such
knowledge and comprehension, they were
legally and morally bound to do their work in
4 manner which would insure the absolute
safety of each and every person having occa-
sion to go upon the premises. This they
wretchedly failed TO do, and are therefore, in
the opinion of the court, alone responsible for
the cause of the accident and the fatalities
and injuries resulting therefrom.
