STRANGE MIXTURE OF RACES
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Chicago, June 1.-THE Russian ex-
hibit in the manufacturers building
was formally opened this morning. The
ceremonies were according to the ritual
Of the Greek church.
This is the anniversary of the battle
of Bunker Hill, and was appropriately
set apart by the management of the
fair as Massachusetts day for the dedi-
cation of the Massachusetts building.
The sons Of the old Bay State were re-
ceived from II to 2 by Governor Rus
sell and ex-Governors Rice and Long.
Among those received We're ex-Presi-
dent Harrison and vice-President Ste
venson.
1t was a strange procession, probably
unparalleled in history, which wound
among the palaces Of the great white
city today. Representatives of the
most untutored savages gathered from
the rour corners Of the earth and the
Islands of the sea, and intermingled
with the representatives of the oldest
civilizations and other queer. outland-
ish people. The denizens of that mot
ley place, Midway plaisance, turned
out in full force.
The Sons and Daughter of the Ameri-
can Revolution also celebrated the an
niversary of the battle Of Bunker Hill
in the hall in the White City. General
Horace Porter, the society president,
offered prayer, John w. Hutchinson
sang '"The Sword of Bunker Hill.'s
Chauncey M. Depew was orator of the
day. The axe used by Hon. William e.
Gladstone in telling trees at Hawarden
will be exhibited in its forestry build
ing in few days.
The official returns show yesterdays
attendance at the fair to have been
117,2O1.
Taken as whole, today was one Of
the most successful the Worlds Fair
has seen, and 179,524 people visited the
School children We're out by
thousands, swarming everywhere.
This afternoon portion of the cele-
brated Blarney stone was placed in
the battlements, of the reproduced
castle at the Irish village.
Mayor Harrison performed the cere-
mony and initiated the proceedings by
loyalty saluting the stone.

SUNDAY oPENING WINS.

Chicago, June 7.-Chief justice Full
Ter this morning overruled the decIs-
ion of the federal circuit court. which
issued an injunction restraining the
directors of the Worlds Fair from
opening the gates on Sunday. The
restraining order of the circuit court
preventing the opening of the gates
on Sundays must therefore be set
aside and the case remanded. The de-
cision settles the matter finally, as an
appeal to the supreme court could not
be heard until Octorber when the fair
will be ended.

EFFEcTs OF THE DECISION.
Attoney-General Olney Suggests Some
Dire Probabilities.


Dire Probabilities.
Washington, June 17.-Spealxing of
the decision of the circuit court Of ap-
peals today on the opening Of the
Worlds Fair on Sunday, Attorney-Gen-
eral Olney said it was certain. to his
mind, that the government could not
now give the Worlds Fair authorities
the 100000 which was still retained
in the treasury, but which had been ap-
propriated upon certain conditions.
Doubtless he would be confronted with
a proposition to take steps to recover
the $4,000 already paid out. He could
not say what course he would pursue.
Perhaps the gate money could be inn
pounded to reimburse the government;
still he was not entirely clear as to
this, and would have to consider the
matter more in detail Another ques-
tion affected by the decision was the
government exhibits It was entirely
clear that the government exhibits
could not be open on Sunday, but the
conditions imposed might prevent the
exhibits from being open
on any day. He hardly thought. how
ever. the law would bear this construc-
ton.
