THU GREAT WORLDS FAIR
A Bright Warm Day Brings Out
a Large Attendance.
TO BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY.
An Agreement to Shut the Gates for
Today Only.
AdmiraIs and Naval Officers from Eight
Nations Are Escorted Through the
Grounds The Exhibits Are
Now in Good shape.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Things in general
Worlds fair this morning when the gates
opened. The sun shone warm and bright
upon the beautiful white palaces and the
work of putting on the finishing touches
was pursued with redoubled energy. The
bright sunshine had an effect to bring out
visitors, and by 10 o'clock this morning
the gate keepers said they had admitted
more people than all day yesterday.
Everything gives promise of an attend
ance greater than on any day since Presi-
dent Cleveland touched the golden button.
Another thing which induced visitors to
come out to the grounds today was the
fact that the naval and military officers
were to be received today shortly after
lunch hour.
Colonel Culp, secretary of the committee
on ceremonies, had arranged an elaborate
programme for the occasion and it was
carried out with pleasing display. The
guests were conducted to the admins
tration building and from there were es-
corted through the numerous buildings.
The workmen of the fair were well en-
ployed during the night. They labored
by electric light ana this morning
scarcely vestige of debris remains on
the winding streets and paths. What
little mud remained last night was
pressed out of existence by the huge
steam rollers and now but little remains
to complete the roadways.
Today was the first really clear day since
the opening of the Worlds fair, and the
''white city'' at Jackson park looked
more beautiful than at any other time
before. About 40, 600 people were adj
mitted to the grounds during the day.
The naval officers from foreign nations
who arrived this morning, after being en-
tertained down town during the forenoon
went to the fair this afternoon. They
spent several hours there and will go
again Monday. All express amazement
at the magnitude and beauty of the fair.
The piano and harp difficulty and
charges against Theodore Thomas con-
tinue to be the chief topics of officials of
the fair. The special committee will be-
gin work Monday morning. Commits
sfoner Lannan said should the charges
prove true they will at once call for
Thomas resignation. In this event it is
rumored tonight that the position will be
offered to Walter j. Damrosch of New
York.

chief justice of Utah and r. w. Young
as associate justice. If he can have his
way they will soon be appointed.
Interesting gossip is now floating
around about the Utah marshalship, and
here is strong belief here that Colonel II.
c. Lett viii get that plum. While he has
made no formal application, his friends
have been pushing his case, particularly
Secretary Morton, and it is thought Let's
chances are good, although Judge Norrell
and Mr.. Brigham were heretofore sup
posed to lead for the position. The presi-
dent feels kindly towards Lett and dis
posed to even him up in view OF the high
recommendation he had for governor.
A change will soon be made in the
Ogden postmastership, and indications
point to Henry Islaub as the coming
postmaster. No action will be taken on
the Salt Lake postoffice until the Repub-
lican incumbent's term expires. and the
same rule will apply to the Provo office.
Mr.. Rawlins leaves for Chicago to-
morrow and then goes home.
Mr.. True, who was the Democratic
candidate for Congress in Idaho last year.
is here. Strange to relate no application
is vet filed for the Idaho district attorney
snip.
Samuel L. Davis was appointed post
master at Idaho City vice Silsby, re-
moved.
Banker T. r. Jones OF Salt Lake is here.

at the Chicago convention last year in the
effort to secure the recognition OF the
Utah Democracy.
He was one of the first leaders in the
division movement, and, as chairman Of
the Weber county Democratic committee,
came into prominence as a political
leader. Last year he was elected chair
man of the Democratic territorial COM
mittee, and his shrewd and efficient man
agement of the affairs of the campaign
contributed largely to the success of the
party at the polls. He also rendered great
service to the Democrats of Idaho and
Wyoming by sending campaign workers
into those states from Utah.
The appointee is one of the most popu-
lar men in the territory and his selection
will give general satisfaction.

1t May Not Meet in November Next as
Stated.

WASHINGTON May 6.-The announced
postponement of the monetary conference
until November is looked upon as afford
ing another indication of the president s
purpose to call Congress in extra session
in the early fall. 1t has been insisted
upon by some European delegates to the
conference, that definite proposition on
the silver question should originate with
the United States, and the assembling of
Congress in extra session in September
will afford time for the intentions of that
body to regard the Sherman law and the
silver question generally, to be clearly
made known before the meeting of the
conference. 1t is thought quite possible
that upon the action of Congress may de-
pend the question whether the conference
viii reconvenes 1t is now said that Gov
ernor McCreary, ofKentucky, will be un-
able to continue to serve upon the COM
mission. He has been led to this con-
clusion in part by the fact that Mrs.
McCreary's health will not permit her to
accompany him abroad.

"HoUsE OF THE WAVES"
The New Home of the 0uackhuI Indians
on the Fair Grounds.


on the Fair Grounds.
CHICAGO, May 0.-May moving as the
occasion of merry making is something
novel, but there was an illustration of it
at the exposition grounds this afternoon,
when the Quackhull Indians from Van
couver took possession of their new home
on the east side OF the south pond. They
also dedicated the totem pole erected in
front of their new shack. They have been
quartered in the stock pavilion. Attired
in their best tribal clothes, they left their
temporary quarters and danced to their
new home. The dance was led by To-
quaysa, princess, who is, on account OF
descent, recognized as chief of the col
ony. The dance was concluded by a
grand diversion around the totem pole.
Then Toquaysa spread feast of FISH, oil
and other delicacies for her followers.
Toquaysa also made a speech by proxy.
Hamisila, a young man, acted as her Of
fetal mouthpiece, and Hawmissilatl re-
sponded in behalf of the guests. In the
ceremonies sixteen members of the tribe
wore blankets and Mosques, and box
drums furnished the music. In the
course of her speech the new house was
formally baptized as INA Gagith, - or
blouse by the Waves. -

A BRILLIANT CAREER.
4 Representative of Young Utah Who
Has Worked His Way Up.

Has Worked HIS Way Up.
Young Utah was given handsome
recognition in the appointment of Hon.
c. c. Richards, of Ogden, to be terri
torial secretary. Probably no man in
Utah today has worked his way up SO
rapidly and gained by his own ability
and personal endeavors as high position
of prominence, as Mr.. Richards. He
started with practically nothing and
although but thirty-four years of age he
is now one of the leading and most in
f1ueutial business men of Ogden. His edu-
cation and knowledge of business affairs
have been acquired in the practical schools
OF learning, having been connected with
various public offices and commercial en-
ferprises from boyhood. He is q native
OF Salt Lake, and all his ventures and in
fereSts have been centered IN the terri
tory. When but 13 years of age he was
taken into the county clerks Office,
where he remained in various capacities
for fifteen years. In 1870 he was ap-
Dointed deputy county clerk, filing the
nosition until 1888, when he was elected
county clerk and the following year
elected county attorney. In 1856 and 1888
he was reelected to this offie, and during
his tenure of Office was looked upon as
one Of the most able lawyers ever chosen
for that position
His knowledge of law had been ac-
uuired by arduous study, during the short
hours he was relieved from duty in the
county clerks office His implacable
ambition and inherent capabilities en-
abled him to fully master the subject,
and the successes he has achieved and the
perseverance he has exhibited is not only
creditable to himself, but has brought
him. in great measure, to the present
advanced position he occupies IN COM
mercial and political affairs. Mr.. Rich
ards served three terms as county clerk
and three terms as county attorney In
lime. 1884. he was admitted TO practice
before the bar of the supreme court of
Utah, and in December, 1887, before the
United States Supreme court. In the fall
OF 1887 he was elected member of the ter
ritorial house of representatives. and in
1889 to the legislative council.
In addition to the offices mentioned
above he served one term in in the terri
torial board of equalization of taxes and
also one term as regent Of the University
OF Deseret. AS president of the Utah
Loan and Trust company be has proven
himself a man OF superior general qualifi-
cations and a sound and able financier.
The Territorial Democratic convention
held in Ogden five years ago elected Mr..
Richards as a delegate to the national
Democratic convention, but he was
refused a seat on the ground that he was
q Mormon and member of the Peoples
party. He was member Of the delega-
tion that went to Washington In Febru-
airy OF last year to push the home rule
bill, and made arguments in favor of
home rule before the Senate and House
committees. he also took an active part

LONDON, May 6.-The National 90
serUer says: The contracting powers have
decided to continue the tripartite govern
ment at Samoa with a change of person
mel, and suggests that r. L. Stevenson be
appointed premier, instancing the Amer
lean custom OF appointing literary men as
diplomatists and consuls. The Observer
adds the reprint of Stevenson's footnote
to his history, contiscated and burned by
the German authorities, aud that the pub
fishers were fined Despite this fact, the
recent white book justified Stevenson
action.

CUBAN REvoLUTIoNIsrs.
Special Vigilance to Be Exercised to Pre-

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Secretary Car
Isle today directed the United States col
lectors of customs on the Atlantic coast
and United States revenue marine officers
TO exercise special vigilance to prevent the
shipment of ammunition from the United
States to Cuba. This action was taken at
the request of the Spanish minister at
Madrid. This explains the Madrid dis
patch received yesterday. 1t seems it was
not a complaint in the Spanish filibusters,
but request for the exercise of Especial
vigilance on the part of the United
States to prevent shipment of arms, and
that this request has been promptly met.
