GATES WILL BE OPEN
A Decision Expected To-Day
in the Fair Case.
THE SHOW ALL BUT COMPLETE NOW

Orders to Have the Gates Opened Issued
NO Provisions Yet for Religious serv-
ices on the Grounds-High Price for
Isabella Consistency Outlook.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
June St is thought here this morning
that there may be decision in the Sunday
closing case now before the United States
Court, some time to-day.
Whichever way the question is decided
it will probably not have any effect on the
conduct of the Fair for tomorrow. The
gates will probably be open anyway, or
ders to that effect having been issued yes
terday. 1t is not probable that any religi-
Gus services will be held in Festival Hall
tomorrow. Mr.. Moody has not yet been
asked to preach, nor has any one else, and
no one will be until there is a decision in
the case now pending in the courts to
close the gates on Sundays. The Worlds
Fair officials do not intend to make any
extensive Sunday arrangements until they
are sure of their ground.
"The White City, is now practically
completed. The railway tracks which
were laid inside the grounds to facilitate
the bringing in of exhibits have been taken
up, and with very few exceptions
the exhibits are all in place, and
by the first of next week the Fair will I'M
doubtedly be finished and ready for inspec-
ton by the public from one end to the
other.
1t is now positively known that the far
famed Oriental monarch, the Sultan of
Johore, is coming to the Worlds Fair.
His majesty cabled the fact of his intended
visit to Deputy Commissioner V. w. Lake
and directed Mr.. Lake to meet him in
Carlsbad, Germany, to accompany him tc
Chicago. Mr.. Lake at once left for New
York, whence he will sail for Europe and
expects to get back to Chicago before the
| end of the present month. The Sultan is
| famous for his great wealth and is said to
possess the finest collection of diamonds
| and rubies and pearls in the world. He
will bring a retinue of ten servants and
| two English physicians whom he carries
with him to look after his health.
The first installment Of the Isabella
| Souvenir quarters will be received not
later than the first of July, and possibly
| earlier. The rumor that the prices of the
| coins had been increased to So is incorrect.
The quarters are still selling at one dollar
| each, but they are going so rapidly and
| the number is so small that there is q
strong probability of an early advance il
| price.
| Director Charles. H. Schwab, says that
the exposition has cleared a quarter of a
million dollars on the month of May, and
as result of general reduction of fore e.
to begin next Monday, a better result is
1 confidently anticipated for the month OF
June. Mr.. Schwab takes a rosy view o
the situation, and claims that the financial
J success of the Fair is already assured
He says the running expenses of the Fair
will be but 800, QUO week for the present
and this will be cut down when the work
ing forces are reduced as has now beer
ordered by the officials.
The bureau of admissions estimates tn
| paid attendance for yesterday at so, 900
which was doing we'll considering thu
threatening and rainy weather.
