Opening Day Of the Great Pam
American Exposition.
HEAVY RAINS KEPT THE CROWDS AWAY
Formal Dedication Ceremony Postponed Until
Map 20-Efforts Being Made to Get
All the Exhibits In Place.

Buffalo, May a. The beautiful
electrical display last night was the
eliminating event of the opening day
of the Pan-American exposition. The
attendance in the morning was small,
owing to the weather, which kept
many away from nearby towns.
Later in the day, however, when the
sun broke though the gray clouds,
the crowd began to assume the pro-
portions of an exposition throng, and
last evening thousands passed through
the trunstiles.
The gates were opened yesterday
without ceremony, the opening
day ceremonies having been post
poned until May 20, when they will
be combined with dedication day
exercises. The change in the date,
however, did not cause relaxation
in the efforts being put forth by
everyone connected with the EXPOSE
tion to have everything as nearly
ready as possible for yesterdays OPEN
ing. The appearance of the buildings
and grounds in the morning bore am
pie evidence of their efforts. Storm
and the inevitable delays incident
to an undertaking of such magni-
tude made impossible the realization
of the hope that this might be the
first of the great expositions to be
completed on it's opening day. But
so much more already has been
wrought than was deemed possible
at the inception of the project that
all are satisfied with the extent and
beauty of the fair as it appeared
yesterday morning, carried through
the beginning by the citizens of
Buffalo without state or federal aid.
William Hamlin was permitted by
permission to purchase the first
ticket, having offered some time ago
to pay SIS, 600 for the privilege. The
ticket was sent to him yesterday.
At noon the paid admissions aggre-
gated to about 81 900, the majority of
the visitors being employees or others
entering on passes.
At noon the government building
was thrown open and General Brig
ham made an address. The president
sent message of congratulation to
the citizens OF Buffalo upon the aus
picious opening of the fair
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon sa-
lutte Of As aerial bombs was fired and
simultaneously hundreds of flags were
raised on the buildings and grounds.

Transporting Chaffee's Army.

Washington, May 2.-The trans

FROM VENEZUELA.
Satisfactory Explanation Of the Arrest Of
Consul Biaz.

Washington, May 3.-The state de-
partment has received from the gov
eminent OF Venezuela satisfactory
explanation of the circumstances
under which Ignacio Biaz, United
States consul agent at Barcelona,
came to be arrested and mulcted of
a heavy fine. While no details are
furnished, it is stated that the action
of the Venezuela government in the
matter is all that could be desired,
and that Biaz, who has recovered,
or will recover, the money extorted
from him, will not be further mo-
Tested.
The state departments information
regarding the legal proceedings in
Venezuela in connection with the
asphalt controversy indicates that it
will be many months before the issue
will come to trial in the Venezuela
high court. AS there is no DISPOSE
ton exhibited to dispossess the Amer
lean concessionairies who are in pos
session, pending the termination of
the legal proceedings, the state de-
partment is entirely satisfied with
the status quo as to this case. There
are, however, other issues which may
change the aspect OF American affairs
in Venezuela.
The official mail received today
from Venezuela continues to show u
specific and agreeable tone toward the
United States.

Germany had demanded e5, 600, 600

information bearing on the report
that has been circulated in England
