Havana (Special). ~The Cuban Con- stitutional nvention has not yet arrived at an understanding regarding the electoral law. Several meetings were held last week, but very little ine terst was manifested in the proceedings, many of the delegates being absent. The Conservatives are quite hopeless with respect to the rescindMmg if the univer- sal suffrage clause, and they are now endeavoring to secure a plural vote for pr ders and for professional and men. At the Chicago World's Fair 5B per cent. of the attendance was during the two months. Eight million paid admissions, with the revenue from con- cessions, will repay the cost of the Pan- American Exposition. One thing that the attendance to date is the short-limit failway excursion tickets, which gives the holder only one or two days at the Exposition. Some of the excursion people have expressed themselves strongly against any ticket having a limit of less than 18 days, claiming that two weeks js little enough for anyone who desires to en- joy the Exposition or profit by it as a great educational institution, Special days are now important fea- tures of the Exposition pro .
