Chicago, June 3. It would be just as
well for those persona and there are
hundreds of thousands of them in' the
United States ; who are trying to bring
about the closing of the world's fair on
Sunday to bear in mind that the very
thing against which they protest is now
in full operation. The gates of the
world's fair are open every Sunday, and
hundreds of sight-seers go to it, they
being admitted readily . on payment of
the established fee. The world's fair
directors have thus decided the matter
of Sunday opening while the whole
country, represented by congress,, by
great religious gatherings and many
other influential bodies, is still debating
the matter. It may well be asked : Are
the world's fair authorities justified in
forestalling the judgement of the nation
in this matter? There is little real differ
ence between the present arrangement
at Jackson park and that which will be
in force if the fully erected enterprise
shall be thrown open to visitors on Sun
days a- year hence. Because of this
action of the directors the question now
under debate by the whole nation is not,
"Shall the . worlds ,r fait -be
open oh Sunday?", but, "Shall the pre
eent condition of Sunday sight-seeing at
Jackson Park be changed after the for
mal opening of the world's fair?" The
worlds fair is open on Sunday. . It is a
condition, not a theory, that . confronts

The Pioneer Steamer Beaver.
Albany, N. Y., June 3.-Kobert H.
Benedict, of Victoria, B. C., is in Albany
trying to form a company for transpor
tation to Chicago of the first steamer
that entered the : Pacific ocean 1 around
Cape Horn. He feels confident of the
success of bis project. Benedict is one
of the owners of the famous steamer,
the Beaver, the first of her kind to leave
England, brave the dangers of the cape
and sail into the Pacific, This was in
1833. -All her original machinery and the
live oak timbers of her hull are as sound
as the day the steamer passed out of the
builder's hands. Only one person who
came on the Beaver's maiden trip now
lives. .-. ' - '
-' ' Hospital Scandals.
.-Cincinnati, O., June 2. There is'a
big sensation here over the death yester
day of a prominent citizen at the. city
hospital, having bled to death unat
tended. '.Last night, too, a patient at
the hospital committed suicide, .leaving
a note saying death; was preferable to
the abuse of the nurses.' , Charges have
been made for some lime, past in. the
public press against this hospital, alleg
ing negligence, incompetency and im
morality. - The principal , charge was
against Miss Murray, of Philadelphia, in
charge, of the trained nurses', depart
ment... The superintendent was recently
dismissed on this account. '
A Forest Fire.
May's Landing, N. J., June 2. A
forest fire starred hi the woods between
this place and Egg Harbor early yester
day morning, and burned fiercely in a
valuable tract of timber alt day. About
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon it waa car
ried within one mile of Hammonton.
A large force of men : fought it all day
with little success, and, last night it de
stroyed hundreds - df ' acres 'of timber
every hour.. It "was turned off from
Hammonton by back-firing and plowing
the ground on all sides of the town, but
it is now burning so fiercely that there
is great fear of the place being destroyed.

-Michigan In the Swim.
Gbanjo RArns, Mich.,. June 2. The
worst storm ever experienced here oc
curred last nighU. It was a regular
cloudburst. Crops were, destroyed for
miles around, and the track of the Grand
Rapids and Indiana road was washed
out for three miles'. .' V '
' Storms and Cyclones.
Chicago, Jane 2. Advices "give fur
ther details of the loss of life and the
destruction of property by storms and
cyclones, in the southwest. Lott, Tex.,
reports a cyclone near . Durango, which
caused the greatest . havoc, sweeping
everything before it, over a space of a
quarter of a mile wide and several miles
long. Houses were utterly demolished.
Many people escaped injury by entering
cyclone cellars, but five or six are known
to be killed, and a number were injured,
some " fatally. The effects of the rain
storms which have prevailed since Mon
day throughout .Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Indian territory, and
which continue in many places are : be
coming evident in the rising rivers. - All
streams In this territory are rising rap
idly; and promise' to exceed the.hieh
stage of water recently recorded, where
it is not already exceeded. Enormous
damage ' has been already done, and
much greater is in prospect. The dam
age by rain and wind in the neighbor
hood of Texas has been estimated at
$500,000.
Getting Ready.
Minneapolis, June 3. Preparations
for the interesting affair next Tuesdav
are going on apace, the managers having
fully hxed upon the programme of the
inaugural ceremonies. The new conven
tion hall will be filled to the doors with
delegates and visitors. 'There will be
music by a brass band and a chorus of
1,500 voices will sing such patriotic
music as cannot be construed into re
flecting partisan feelinar.1" The addresses
will be delivered by Maj. McKinley, the
energetic tariff-lifter, and Mr. Depew.
There Is a distinctly festal character
about all this. The day to follow will
be ode of toil and voting and of anxious
delegates growing hoarse with shouting.
People throughout thp country will be
hiving around bulletin boards and jost
ling each other over tickers. But the
eve of the combat will be as festive and
joyous as a carnival. . This is pleasant.
Even busy Mr. Harrison, down, there at
Washington, will feel some polite in
terest in the proceedings that are to
follow.
Not Lawfully Detained.
Lansing, Mich., June .3 The Supreme
court has filed an opinion reversing the
conviction and ordering the discharge of
Aaron W. Hamaker, who was recently
convicted in the Jackson Circuit court
of attempting to aid a convict to. escape
from prison. The statute makes it a
crime to aid in the escape of a prisoner
who was lawfully detained, and the
court held that the information did not
show that Donovan, the prisoner whose
escape Hamaker attempted to aid, was
convicted of any offense known " to the
law and therefore that he was not law
fully detained. Donovan is doing a ten
years's sentence, having been convicted
in Ogemaw county 1887 of the crime of
entering a saloon in the night with in
tent to commit robbery. This, the court
says, is not a crime known .to the law,
as no breaking was charged. Under this
state of facts Donovan will experience
but little difficulty in securing his liberty
also. . .
Sidney Dillon's Illness. '
Xkw Yobk, June.; 2. Sidney Dillon,
president of the Union Pacific railway,
who lies critically ill at his residence in
West Fifty-seventh street, continues to
grow gradually weaker. He is greatly
emaciated and cannot even turn in his
bed without assistance. ' The only nour
ishment which he takes is a preparation
of fermented milk, but how much of its
nutritive quality is assimilate'd the- at
tending physicians are unable to deter
mine. Both the nerve and-muscular
forces of the patient are daily1 becoming
diminished. His inind ' remains clear,
but he does not speak of business mat
ters. It is ftieyen weeks today since Mr.
Dillon was last dow.n town, and for five
weeks he has been confined to his bed.
- Another Levee Broken.
"Xkw Orleans, June 2. A crevasse oc
curred this morning in the levee at Web
er's landing: It is 25- feet wide, .and
threatens the Texas Pacific road. "
-Two townships of land near Astoria

FISH AND SNAKE STORIES.
Reptiles Driven to High Lands and Take
Refuge in Willows.
HUNTERS HOKRIFIED TO FIND THEM
Pastures Filled With Fish Which the
'Farmers Gather by the Basket '
Full Minor Mention. '
Macomb, III., June 3.Williaiii Bar
ker, manager of the electric light and
gas plant of this city, together with
several companions, has just returned
from a hunting and fishing trip to .
Crooked creek in the vicinity of Colniar.
The entire region around Colniar, a way
station on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad- between Quincy and -Galesburg,
is one sea of water. The
water stood several feet high around a
line of willows which had been set out
for a fence. '. Barker and his companions
got into a boat and rowed up around the
trees in hopes of finding some sort of
game, when they were horrified to see' a
huge snake drop into the boat. The
reptile was quickly dispatched, when
the boys discovered that the trees above
them were literally alive with snakes; a"
mass of hissing, writhing reptiles, con
sisting of water moccasins, rattlers and
many other varieties. The thoroughly
frightened men began, a fueilade with
their guns and in a short time they bad
killed over one hundred big snakes.
Some of them were monsters. The high
water has driven hundreds of these
reptiles into the surrounding country.
The fish stories that now pour
in from this . neck of the woods
are ' equally' marvelous. One farmer
found his pasture full of buffalo
fish one morning and gathered a bushel-
basket full. Another native captured a
huge cat-fish that weighed over one
hundred pounds. Fishing is all the go.
The small streams are full of the choicest,
kinds of fish. - i - -
A Canadian Crniser.
Ottawa, June 3. The protest of the
United States government against Can
ada constructing a revenue cutter for
service on the upper lakes has been of
little avail, and the keel of the vessel
which is to be of steel throughout, is
now being laid at Owen sound, on the
Georgian bay. The objection" from
Washington was based on the agreement
of 1817 between Great Britain and the
United' States, one of the clauses of
which prohibited either country from
building a "vessel of war" on the lakes.
It has been discovered, however, that
this agreement was abrogated by Secre
tary Seward in I860, - and consequently
the Canadian government will construct
the cruiser. Even had the "treaty been
in force this government would have' re
sented United States interference, as
the new vessel is simply being built for
revenue purposes and the United States,
it appears, has at the present time four
vessels of this class on the lake, viz :
One each at Oswego, Detroit, Erie and
Milwaukee. -
. A Lake Steamer Sunk.
; DBTBorr, Jane 2. The steamers Brit
ain and Progress, both of Cleveland,
collided this morning at the mouth,
of the . Detroit river. ' The Progress
sank immediately, 1 but the crew was
rescued with difficulty. The Britain
was comparatively uninjured.
