SUNDAY AT THE IMPOSITION.
Good Sized Crowd In Attendance-Qu Quiet
 Indulgences.

Buffalo. May 1.-The first Sunday of the Pan- American exposition's official existence brought out a good sized crowd Peaceful strolling along the terrace and the asplande, restful sitting on the green benches within hearing of the sacred band concert on the plaza and uninterrupted sauntering on the Midway were the few indulgences of the Sunday sightseers. The gates were open. but the buildings were closed. Guards stood by the door of the great exhibit buildings and politely told the visitors that no one would be allowed to enter On the Midway two of the shows opened their doors this morning and their criers announced that they were ready for business They were promptly notified by the exposition po- lice to close their shows. They did so under protest, and test case will be tried to decide whether the Midway concessionaires have a right to give their exhibitions on Sunday. The claim set up by the concessonaires is that their contracts specify that they shall be allowed to run every day the expo sition grounds are open to the public. Director of Works Carlton turned the water into the canals and waterways last night, and it is expected that this important feature of the exterior beauty of the exposition will be in working or der in a few days.

THE ARMY IN THE PHTLFPPiNES.
To be Reduced to 40,600 This Force
 Now Considered Ample.

Washington, May 5.-After a careful consideration of the situation in the Philippine Islands as 1t exists to- day the administration has decided to reduce the army in the islands to 4OoOO men. The opinion prevails here that this number will be ample for the pres ent needs of the service in the islands, and if conditions continue to improve in the satisfactory manner that has been shown in the past few months the force may be reduced still further. The expectation of the war department is that all the volunteers now in the Phil ippines will have left the islands by the end of June, leaving only the reg ulars on duty there. Following the de- parture of volnteers will come the reg ulars who were sent to Manila in 1898 just after the outbreak of hostilities, and their movement home will continue until the force is reduced to approxi- mately 10000 men.

The steel mast. which may be called the lever which gives the motive power to the hull and which Is the center of all the strains, is firmly imbedded in the keel plate and is so supported and sustained in every part by an ingenious system of stays that it is as strongly held in position as an oak tree of half century,s growth by it's immense main roots and it's myriad flbrous rootlets. The spar itself may succumb to a sudden gust, as has happened before, but the foun- dation in which 1t stands is firm as al rock The wooden spars are hollow,s and, though no exact measurements are available, it may safely be said that they call for even a larger sail spread than that of Columbia.
