The citizens committee having in charge
the arrangements for the entertainment OF
the visitors on British Columbia day. have
arranged to come out on special boat to
meet the excursion steamers coming from
British Columbia and escort them 10 this
city. With this committee will go the

the blue jackets of the Monterey will give
an exhibition drill in the evening.
New foreign exhibits have been coming
in at such rate lately that the special Gus
toms officers have had to do double time
In order TO take care of the exhibits. Spe-
cial Agent Donaldson, in speaking of the
influx Of foreign exhibits today, said !:
'The liberal attitude OF the treasury de-
partment, based upon the special act of con-
gress providing for this exposition. has been
at last perceived by our foreign friends. and
il now appears highly probable that, as is
usually the case, the latter half of the ex-
position will be the period of great sue
cess"
The observation-disclosures already finds
that the one steamer which it rented TO
carry the children of Seattle and vicinity
TO the fair a week from next Saturday will
be overcrowded. although IT will make
three round trips on that day, and ac-
cordingly will engage an additional boat
This afternoon there was no music at the
fair. The band struck because it did not
get lis pay promptly on the minute for the
past week. Mr.. Bull went TO the secretary
and asked for check. and was told that
while he had the money in the bank with
which to pay them. he could not draw a
check for the amount because the board
of trustees had not authorized the drawing
of a warrant for that amount, but that as
soon as the board could meet and authority
was given him 10 pay the money would be
forthcoming. Mr.. Bull repeated this 10 his
men and some of them were perfectly salts
fed. but there were several members of the
band who refused to play unless paid i'm
mediateIy. The men stood around the
doorway for a while. and finally went OUT
carrying their instruments in their hands.
Mr.. Bell explained that he was exceed
ingly sorry for the matter. but that he
could not force the men TO play when they
did not want TO. The bulk of his men
we're not To blame, but only a few, who
we're. however, essential to the band.
The fair management was exceedingly
indignant one of the trustees said:
prof Bull came 90 Us when the fair
rrotect was first started aud asked that he
might be allowed 10 compete for the n uslc
at the fair. He said that he could gather
local musicians together from Tacoma.
Portland aud Seattle who would be able
10 give as satisfactory music as any band
that could be Imported. We told Mr.. Bull
that although there was prejudice IN
favor OF foreign musicians and noted Lead
ers. in the interest of the musicians OF the
Northwest We would give them a good
chance. We paid this band ST. 90 per
week. which Is moTe than We weuid have
had TO pay for a weii-knowG hand from
outside the state. with n noted leader.
Notwithstanding our generosity ia this
matter there has not been n display of the
slightest particle of consideration on the
part OF the band. one time the men, the
very day after the opening OF the fair,
refused to 60 upon the street and parade,
over and over again there has been
trouble between the bard and the
management, and tso or three times there
has been a threatened strike because the
money vas not paid the exact instant IL
xas due. We have asked for no credit
from the band. and have paid fun rates
