Gates of the Cohilins Fair to lie Closed
on May.
SO FAR AS THE'gOVERXMENT SAYS,
Congress in Touch With the Country

Ins Other Notes.
Chicago, June 15. From this day
forth the worlds' fair gates will be closed
to visitors on Sunday. Such is the final
decision of Congress, the National com
mission and worlds' fair directory.
Concerning this fact, Mr. E. F. Cragin,
perhaps the most active organizer of the
association, in an interview yesterday
said : "Undoubtedly the vast majority
of the people of the United Stales are
anxious to see Sunday observed at the
fair. Our association has been studying
the drift of opinion for two years. It is
easy to give the results. So far, it is
evident that in Chicago and within a
radius of say 200 miles, the people want
a Sunday fair. Outside of that, except
in communities where the foreign ele-
" ment predominates, there is bat one ex
pression, and that is for sabbath observ
ance. Chicago does not realize the
strength of the sentiment of the country
at large. They seem to me to be in a
good deal the game fix the New Yorkers
were when they were after the fair.
They made fun of the idea that the
conntry would think differently from
. them. They laughed at what they called
the great noise Chicago was making be-'
fore congress voted. And yet when the
vote came they found congress was in
touch with the conntry and the nation
wanted Chicago to have the fair. So it
is with our citizens on this question.
Because the general opinion here seems
to be for a wide-open Sunday the people
of Chicago appear to take it for granted
that it must be so everywhere else.
Answers to our letters show, however,
that this is a great mistake, and that
congress knew what it was about when
it put itself on record by closing the gov
ernment exhibit. . 'We are informed,
furthermore, that the senate will be
even more pronounced for Sunday-clos-'
ing when the question comes before it.
Rarely if ever has there been such ac
tivity in behalf of a moral movement as
has been shown in this campaign for
Sunday observance. Nearly every great
secular and religious meeting or conven
tion in this country has adopted resolu
tions and forwarded them to congress,
the national commission and the worlds'
fair directory. v
' "Another significant fact, thath-eems to
have been overlooked by the Chicago
directors, is that every state legislature
w here any action has been taken has
been in favor of closed gates on Sunday.
There has not been one exception.
More than that : We have looked up
the rules governing state and county
fairs. With scarcely an exception all
such institutions are closed on the sab
bath. Why? Because the people of
the states and territories believe in rest
on the sabbath ; they believe in ob
serving the civil law that governs the
states and territories, and that law
everywhere forbids desecration of the.
sabbath.'
. "Another, and a. very important sug
gestion," added Mr. Cragin, "is that of
the etrong pleas made for Sunday open
ing in that the poor laboring man can go
to the exposition no other day. We
have canvassed among the employers of
labor and find very few instances where
the business managers and proprietors
would refuse to give Saturday half-holidays
for their workinginen and working
women. .There seems to be no good
reason why the laboring people should
'not ask and expect to get half-holidays
during the exposition. Labor has been
making a long, fight for the Saturday
half -holiday in addition, to the eight-
hour day. It would seem to ' be an op
portune time next year to get an ex
pression on the subject. The railroad
'employes of the country are taking the
deepest, interest in this movement.
They want the fair closed on Sunday be
cause if it is open it means no rest for
them, but, on the contrary, would en
tail double duty on every engineer,
brakeman, conductor and fireman for
. every Sunday the fair is to be in opera
tion. A specimen declaration was
voiced in resolutions adopted at the an
nual convention of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers held at Atlanta,
Ga., May 14th. With 500 delegates
present, the convention asked unani
' niously that the fair be' closed on Sun
day, and the resolution was seconded in
a strong speech by the delegate from the
Chicago district, an official of the
brotherhood.

. Chicago, June 15. Members of the
democratic national committee are ex
pected to arrive in this city tomorrow
and will hold a conference with the local
comtnittte on arrangements on Friday.
The meeting for the selection of tem
porary chairman of the convention will ;
not oe neia Deiore me ciuac " ,
at the earliest. Senator John M. Pal
mer's friends in Illinois hope to have the
solid vote of the state delegation to the
national convention next week cast
for him for president. Instructions
given at the state convention at Spring
field six weks ago can be interpreted, it
is claimed, in no other way, that unless
Grover Cleveland is to be the man, the
vote of Illinois is to go to Senator Pal
mer. - The Morrison element of the
party is alert as well, and claims con
sideration for the author of the horizon
tal tariff bill, but it concedeH Senator
Palmer's prior claim.
An important meeting of the reception
committee was held at the Palmer house
yesterday afternoon. Nearly all the
members were present to receive from
Chairman Black instructions as to their
duties during the ennvention. Each
member was notified -of the state to
which he had been assicned. and was
told that he must place himself in com
mnnication with his delegation and he
prepared to devote his entire time until
after the close of the convention to en
tertaining his guests. Headquarters for
the reception committee will be in a
room at the Wigwam, set apart for that
purpose, and in one of the parlors of the
Psilmer house a general information
bureau will be conducted by the com
mittee. The members of the reception
committee assigned to the Pacific states
are: K. J. Smith, Charles Cockery,
Washington ; E. E. Brown, Oregon ; l)r.

An Atrocious Scheme.
Klamath Star. C. P. Allen, of Pome
roy, Wash., is out with a powerfully
powerful argumentMigainst the opening
of the Columbia river. "The villainy of
this atrocious scheme" is seen by him in
the fact that shipping on the river would
be . monopolized. Kail roads don't
monopolize. Railroad corporations
have souls that stick right out in the in
terest of the struggling people, but the
open river monopoly is always a soulless
concern. It would plant cannon upon
the hights above the Columbia river and
shoot into everything in the shape of
opposition . . It would discharge shot and
shell into .opposition boats along the
river and shower grape-shot and canister
into the egg-baskets and potato sacks
driven along the river roads. Beware of
an open river! It is. a villainous and
atrocious scheme, Mr. Allen says, to
bankrupt the only corporations that
have souls ! Therefore, Mr. Farmer, try
no longer to make a higher roost for
your chickens! The villainy of your
atrocious scheme can only result in
bankrupting Charles Hennery Koost
Robber!
A suit is liable to grow out of an inci
dent which occurred at the Umntilia
house early yesterday. In the wee hours
of the morning sleepers on the parlor
floor were suddenly awakened and aston.
ished by a crash as if the north east cor
ner of the building had fallen out. This
was followed by cries of children, and a
general alarm ensued, when it was ascer
tained that while Mr. Geo. A. Young
was calmly reposing in the sweet embra
ces of Morpheus, the genii of sleep took
him back to his Bake Oven home, where
he was endeavoring, to care for some
lost sheep, when .a pugnacious buck
made for him with the intention of
planting him on the other side of Jordan.
In his efforts to save himself George
turned over in bed so suddenly that he
woke up wearing the headboard of the
bedstead for a collar, and bad pulled the
inattrass on instead of his pantaloons;
which so dazed him that before be fully
realized the situation, in hiseffort to ex
tricate himself he had demolished all
the furniture in the room except a hat
rack. Colonel Sinnott threatens suit for
damages to the furniture, . while Mr.
Young claims damages for not having
been furnished with a bed suitable to
his averdupois. It promises to be a case
replete twith novel and interesting fea
tures. ' .''-''
v Congressman Ellis Condition.
Heppner Gazette, 14tb. Hon. W. R,
Ellis was obliged to have his leg reset
last Saturday owing to its splintered
condition at first setting, when some of
the bones were not found, consequent
upon its swollen condition from long
waiting for a surgeon. It is thought his
improvement will now oe rapid.

Messrs. Davis, Bently and Robinson
came in from Wapinitia this morning
with 56 head of hogs that had been fat
tened on Wapinitia crickets. They will
be shipped to Portland. Forty-six head
of the hogs belonged to Mr. .Davis and
he made a nice thing by buying them
from his neighbors and, then renting
them out to eat up the crickets.

Hardly Legitimate Ground for the Ex
ercise' of Humor. All Thing
Considered.
Itiuca, N. Y.V June 16. This will be
commencement week in a vast majority
of the academies, colleges and universi
ties ot the United States, at which an
army of graduates will be turned loose
upon their future, individual resources.
Were it not that some misogynists are
covertly . poking innocent fun at her,
there would be no particular reason for
bringing np again the time-honored sub
ject of the "sweet girl graduate." This
is hardly a legitimate ground for the ex
ercise of humor when the infinitely
superior inducements to fun-making, of
fered by the young man. graduate are
considered. But it is the young woman,
nevertheless, who has been satirized,
and her mi morons friends will no doubt
protest with vehemence. They will say ;
and, on the whole, not unjustly ; that
she no longer ornaments her essay with
ribbons and that her subjects are rather
less comprehensive and grandiose than
they were formerly. She has undergone
a change. A discriminating observer
will note that she is slowly giving up
her penchant for discussing "Virtue Is
Its Own Reward," "The Beauties of
Literature" and "The Philosophy of
Life." But the reform is by no means
yet complete, and the fact is little occa
sion for regret. The ribbons and tbe
grandiloquence don't do any harm.
Both are delightfully fresh and amusing.
The girl graduate has, moreover, the ad
vantage of the boy graduate, in that her
ambitions arc not worn so conspicuously
on her sleeve. It is the boy graduate
who is going to make Shakespeare and
Napoleon look mighty small in iiistory,
and who is subsequently very' glad to be
able to buy pie with his midday lunches.
Under the circumstances it is advisa
ble that the girl graduate be not joked
about. It has not been demonstrated
that the fact of being a graduate will
prevent her from being a sensible and
gracions woman later on.
CHICAGO MOSAIC.
Delegate) Arriving and the l'rospect
Flattering for A Sharp Contest.
Chicago, June 16. From Iowa to
California, delegates are reporting in
person. An unmanageable amount of
pent up enthusiasm is evidently in store
for future emergencies. Already the
guessers and their feather weight pre
dictions are :
Cleveland Mill be nominated on the
first ballot.
Hill will be nominated on the first
ballot.
Messrs. Boies, Russell, Palmer, Morri
son, et. al., will be nominated by ample
majorities.
These statements cover the gronud
nicely and contain quite all tbe actual
knowledge that any one lias on the subject.-
It would be a pity that any one
should remain in ignorance of the situa
tion while information can be so con
cisely presented.
It is like the story of the blind puppy,
however. It is said they have a marvel
ous hold on the philosophhy of living
pleasantly. This is on the authority of
an acute reasoner, who declares humor
ously that as long as a puppy can't see
he knows more how to get his own way
than any old dog who has had his day.
There are several delegates whose con
victions are not yet fixed. But there
seems to be little donbt that if some un
failing prophet could give them the
name of the winner they would be en
abled to see the path of duty plainly j
marked beiore them.
Frightful Accident. .
Covington, Ky., June 16. A frlght
f al accident occurred at a bridge yester
day spanning the Licking river, this
side of Newport. The bridge was in
course of construction, and forty-five
workmen were on the structure, and so
far as known only two escaped unhurt,
the others were either killed by crush
ing timbers or drowned. The cause is
said to be the weakening of the wooden
false work. The high waters had washed
out the earth supports; The men today
were engaged under the direction of
Robert and William Beard, contractors,
in placing the heavy iron work of the
main span, when without warning there
was a headlong plunge of the mass of
timber; iron and workmen into the
waters of the Licking river, fifty feet
below.

been advised of a scheme to down him

Why n Came to The Dalles What he
Has round Here.
Special to The Chrokiclb.
The Dalles, June $. In Tile Chbon
icle of yesterday I notice an article pur
porting to give my views of this city and
the reasons which induced me to visit
this locality. While the article in ques
tion states the truth so far as it goes yet
it does not properly present all the
phases of the case.- I have very faith
fully, during the past week, examined
the soil as to its capabilities, and when
I state the results to some of tbe resi
dents they are very much astonished.
The fact is many of your old 'residents
are not aware that the hillsides and tops
in the immediate vicinity, on both sides
of the river, have crops of grain and
fruit and when they say that there is no
wheat land within fifteen to fifty miles
from .here, and no fruit land at all on
tbe Grand Dalles side, they do so believ
ing the same to be true. The fact is
there is no waste land of any account,
and the soil everywhere in valley or on
hill top, is one of great fertility and well
adapted for fruit, grain or grazing.
Before going further I shall relate
briefly how my attention was first di
rected to your city, and the process
which led to my visit. In the first
place the Columbia River Fruit com
pany endeavored to interest me through
their vice-president, Mr. C C. Foster,
a resident of my own city, Saginaw,
Mich. He is a gentleman whose integ
rity is above reproach, and whose word
is as good as his bond. Following this
the interstate Investment - company
called my attention to this point as a
location for a large and prosperous city
as soon as me cascade locks are com
pleted. By referring to the map I find
this the natural outlet for all the pro
ducts of eastern Washington, eastern
Oregon and Idaho. "If it is the outlet it
is also the distributing center. That it
is the outlet is as certain as the. fact that
water transportation is cheaper than
transportation over the Cascade .moun
tains by rail. . This, of itself, should be
sufficient to accomplish the most san
guine expectations of the Interstate Im-
provementeomp'any. A number of my
fellow citizens infested in lots in Grand
Dalles,- on the strength of its geographi
cal position and certain other represen
tations made by the above named com
pany. True to human nature as soon as
the investment was made many of them
sought information from your citizens
who ought to know, and occasionally a
reply would be received which would
throw grave doubts on the future pros
pects of this place and impugn the
motives and honesty of its promoters.
As a result I am here to investigate,
which I have done, and must say that I
am agreeablv surprised, and consider
the possibilities for a future city, and
that in tbe near future, better than any
other point on the northwest coast.
The representations made to me by the
Investment company I can now verify,
and if you have any citizen who "feels
sorry" for the eastern investor through
misrepresentations of this com pan v I
advise him to sleep easily ; taking pre
cautions however, for a safe retreat from
the cyclone which is due here the day
the contract for the completion of the
cascade locks is let.
Now, I notice Thk Chronicle has a
strong disposition to be loyal to yobr
city and its best interests, and in addi
tion to noting its resources I would sug
gest that you draw attention to this
point as a manufacturing center. -The
rapids, just above terminal bay, will
furnish power for all manufacturing
plants which may locate here. There
is no doubt but vou should stand second
ODly to Minneapolis in the manufacture
of flour. All the wheat in the grand
inland empire should be converted into
flour here, the offal being kept at home
for feeding stock, and the manufactured
article exported. More has been done
in the east to draw attention to this
point than many of your citizens are
aware, and instead of throwing cold
water on the scheme of the Interstate
Improvement company they should give
them a loyal support. If this were done
a beautiful city would soon adorn the
banks of the Columbia. Whether done
or not, there is no power which can pre
vent what nature bas destined and that
is, a manufacturing city at this point

The Hatch Dill Regarded as Practically
Passed Owing to the Clamor for
it Minor Mention.
Chicago, June 16. With the Hatch
bill suspended between the two ' houses
of congress, with sharply conflcting ru
mors concerning the effects of the phe
nomenal spring rains, ' speculation in
grain has become unusually dull. It is
said that the aggregate of the deals for
the last lew weeks has been unpreceden
tedly small. ' No great combinations have
been attempted. Excellent judges say
that the prices of wheat, corn and other
cereals are nearly natural, that is to say,
about what they would be if speculative
trading were stopped altogether. It is
expected that the government crop re
port will be received this afternoon. Its
statements will in a great measure set
at rest the widely disagreeing stories of
general crop conditions now afloat. But,
while the arrival of this document is
being looked for with much interest, its
appearance will not revive the listless
spirit of speculation. About the most it
will do will be to enable holders to ad
just themselves to the conditions it fore
shadows. There is a disposition in
many high quarters to regard the Hatch
bill as practically passed. ' This belief is
prompted by the unexpected strength
of the bill In the house and the clamor
for its passage in all the agricultural
regions. In the belief that the Hatch
bill will become a Jaw men wlio are
looking to the future are. slowly but
steadily turning their faces away from
the board of trade. ' "

Among Disreputable Associate.
PiTrsiicBG, - Pa., June 16. The dis
trict attorney is investigating the mur
der and robbery of William Hughes,
who joined n party of disreputable char
acters, who had chartered a steamer for
a trip down the' Ohio river Thursday
night. When thejarty returned it was
announced that Hughes had fallen over
board. His body was found twenty-two
miles west of Pittsburg. Marks on his
face and head, and the fact that he had
been robbed of his watch, money and
diamond pin, have convinced tbe author
ities that he was murdered. Hughes
was wealthy, and, notwithstanding tbe
fact that he was a 'liberal patron of
sports and not always careful in his
choice of companions, was largely inter
ested in business enterprises. There
was a free-for-all fight on the boat and
Hughes, who always had large sums of
money on his person, seemed to be the
general object of attack. All the leaders
of the excursion are under surveillance.

And Still it Storms.
Poktland, Me., June 10. During a
violent wind storm yesterday, following
the hottest weather record for June, the ,
Bangor river steamer Annie was cap
sized within 1,000 feet of her wharf.
She had a number of passengers on
board, mostly women, who had been
down the river to escape the excessive
heat. The wind lifted the boat com
pletely out of tho water, turned her over
: and plunged her bows down beneath the
! surface. It is impossible to tell how -
many were drowned. In Hampden.,
dwellings were leveled and their occu
pants seriously injured, though none
fatally, as far as reported. In Bangor
and Brewer a few houses were wrecked, '
hundreds of chimneys carried away, and
numerous windows smashed. Ice
houses along the river were destroyed,
and the roof of one was carried some
distance and dashed against a large pulp
mill in Brewer. Lumber from. Brewer
was distributed all over that town, some
of it' floating through - the air at the
height of 50 feet. The lumber and paper
mills at Orono were heavily damaged.
Happy days and restful nights result
from using Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It so
regulates all the bodily Junctions and
strengthens the nervous system that
worry and fatigue are comparatively un
known and life is truly enjoyed. It is
certainly a most wonderful medicine.
The Scotch express on the Midland
railway ran into an engine at Leeds, and
seven persons were injured, at Bishops'
Gate station on the 14th. '
