and to induce as many foreign and Ameri-
can exhibitors to keep their displays intact
as possible. Many foreign exhibitors have
already agreed to do so and every one who
has an exhibit was given a permit for its
removal from the Fair upon application.

Over seven bundred and fifty thousand
people, doubtiess the greatest crowd ever
congregated, visited the World's Fair on
Monday—Chicago Day—completely smoth-
ering the “big day’ figures of any other
expositicn ever held, and establishing a
mark which it is expected the present gen
eration will never see attained.
The official figures for Monday's paid
admissions were 713,616.

A GORGEOUS PAGEANT
In the aftenroon there was a *‘reunion of
the States’ in which the bands ¢* hays and
girls tock part,but the crowning; 1 ry of a: -
niversary aay was the procession of doats
which entered the grounds at dark. The
first represented Chicago in her growth, re-
ceiving all the Nations of the earth, the
Chicago Hussars acting as escort. Then
came the genius of music, followed by Chi-
cago and its typical motto, ‘I Will,” guided
by Liberty.
The most magnificent float in the entire
procession was illustrative of Columbus at
the Court of Isabella.
The last oat in the procession was‘ Electra
the Genius of Electricity,” drawn by eight
horses. It was represented by enormcus
dragons, changing color {rom green to red,
and lighted within by 2,000 electrc
lights.
The display of fireworks on the lake
front adjoining the Peristyle exceeded in
magnificence any heretofore given in the
United States if not in the world.

NEw OrvLraNs.—Although the immedi-
wants of the storm victims
near here have been met the fu
ture is black. At Cheniere Caminada
only one of the 300 houses is standing. The
696 survivors have been living in the ruins
and under tents made of sails. Their suf
fering is intense. The other day acow was
found thathad by some miracle escaped
drowing. The animal was killed and dis-
tributed among the 696 starving people, The
greatest sullering is from thirst. There is
water everywhere but none to drink, The
people have been reduced to using the ice
brought down by the fishing luggers.
All the trees, crops and animals on the
lace have been destroyed, and Cheniere

fieet upon which the people depended for a
living has been ore, The best reliet

Brunswick, GA.,—As a result of the yel
low fever plague here the distress extends
to the entire population of the city, to the
refugee in the country, and to the country
people who have harbored and assisted to
feed them. The city treasury is empty, its
funds beinz tied up in three broken banks.
Sales for taxes and collection of taxes have
been postponed because there is no money.
About 5.000 people in the city and 1,000
reiugees in the country are being fed about
one-fourth of a ration a day each. Even
with this careful husbanding of resources
the people are not five days from starva-
tion. For the past 1wo weeks the supply
of rations to each person to live on for
three days has been limited by the scant
supply to one quart of Hour, three quarts
of meal and one quarter pound of bacon.
Beavurort, S. C.—Of the situation Clara
Barton says: ‘The problem confronting
the American National Red Cross is how to
feed, cloth, nurse and shelter upward of
30,000 people for eight months; how we can
feed these people, putting their weekly al-
lowance at a peck of grits and a pound of
meat for a family of seven, scarcely food
enough to keep bodv and soul together;how
we can rebuild 6,800 houses, completely or
partially destroyed?
Survivors are in corn-cribs, under trees
and brushwood, and if shelter is not quickly
provided death from exposure ywill be in-
2vitable. Our funds and provisions ure not
iufficient to last a month and the problem
hat confronts the Nation can only be
answered by the generous people of our
country.

THE AMERICA’S CUP.
tis all over. The American eagle can
now flap his wings until his rail feathers
drop out and no one will suy a word. The
“land of the free,” etc., is again on top and
America has once more demonstrated het
right to the claim of mistress of the yacht-
ing seas. On Friday in New York harbot
for the eighth time in less than half a cen
tury the pride of Europe has been knocked
down and trampled upon, for the eighth
time the swiftest of Inglish cutters has
been compelled to lower her colors and ad-
mit defeat at the hands of the American
seamen. The American cup is safe again
and all Europe mourns. Lord Dunravan’s
yacht Valkyrie was beaten for the third
giraight time by the Vigilant and nothing
more is necessary.
Despite the fact that it was Friday anc
the 13th day of the month, and around
which conditions o!d salts had predicted al.
sorts of bad things for the Vigilant, the
American yacht beat the Valkyrie by 40
seconds in the third and last race and re-
tains the America’s cup.
The race was 15 miles to windward and
return and run on a choppy sea and in 2
freshening gale. The Valkyrie's allowance
of 1 minute and 48 seconds was cut dowr
to 1 winute and 33 second because of the
extra ton of lead added to her ballast. Un
like the other races, Friday's was made
with a flying start, from which no advant
age is deducted,
With a choppy sea and the wind at a ve-
locity of 28 miles, the third and decisive
race for the America’scup on Friday was
started at 12.02 o'clock. The Vigilant cross
ed the line at 12.07 o'clock with the Valky-
rie one minute behind. The Vigilant tacked
twice, crossing the Valkyrie's bow the firs:
time and heading for the shore the second
Both were scattering spray over their deck:
the Vigilant being the wetter of the two
At 12.33 the Vigilant led the Valkyrie tc
windward and both were being lost in the
haze. At 1 o'clock the Vigilant was ar
eighth of a mile in the lead.
Then the haze thickened and the yacht:
were not sighted until 3:14, when the Vigi-
Jant was reported two lengths behind. but
the wind was increasing. At 3:35 the Vigi
lant took the lead of the Valkyrie and in-
creased the gap between them several
lengths, while the Englishman was taking
in his spinnaker. The Vigilant crossed the
line ahead at 3:49. and the Valkyrie at 3:52
The run home was swift, the Vigilan.
winning by 40 seconds.
The day and conditions was such as Lord
Dunraven hoped for. The Englishmer
claim the Vigilant had all the luck, whiie
the Valkyrie split two of her spinnakers
just at a time when she was leading the
Vigilant by two minutes, beating tn wind
ward in 15 miles.
A MAGNIFICENT RACE.
At 3.34 the men on the Valkyrie were
seen running to and fro and then a glance
showed tnat the silk spinnaker had beer
split in two flapping ribbons, Down i
came by a run and in a few seconds a new
one wus in place and being hauled up anc
sheeted home. The work of the crew wa:
80 quick that at 3.35 half the new sail wat
in place anddrawing to the full.
Meanwhile the Vigilant was driving
ahead, everything pulling, and the distance
between herself and her rival gradually
widening. She was a picture as she tore
along under mainsail, gaff, topsail,spinnak:
er and balloon jib, every thread drawing,
and the yacht waving her tall masts slight
ly from side to side. A flash {from the flag
ship May as the Vigilant passed the line
between herself and the lightship was
echoed and prolonged by all the whistles it
the fleet.
The cheering filled the air; even the wine
strong as it was, could not blow this away.
It was a magnificent race, the finest seen in
years, Itisimpossible to say with this
record which is the better boat in such
wind. Forty seconds ona boat to wind
ward of 15 miles and return 1s so close tha
the splitting of the Valkyrie's spinnake
might easily account for it.

Central Road. Many Persons
Injured.
‘The most horrible railroad disaster of the
year occurred at Jackson. Mich., Friday
morning on the Michigan Central road.
Twelve persons were killed and many in:
jured, five perbaps fatally.
Ten miles east of the depot the second
section of the Chicago special ran into the
rearend of the head section, telescoping
two coaches, smashing the cars to pieces
and crushing the life out of many peo
pie. Inside of 20 minutes six dead bod-
jes were taken out and the work has only
begun.
The second section ran into the head sec-
tion while the Jutter was standing on the
track. Some of the passengers were out on
the ground, some eating breakfast and
many asleep. The telescoped cars were
the first and second ones from the rear of
the firstspecial. All the uncertakers, phy
sicians and assistants were on the ground,
doing all they could, but the sights were
appalling.
Engineer’ William Whalen was running
the last section. He says: [saw thesignal
in the yard to keep back, and had my en-
gine in hand, as 1 thonght, but when I

Senator Allen took the floor at 5:15 and had

indelatigable talker. Never in the United
States was there such an exhibition of
physical endurance as that shown by him.
ile concluded his speech on the stroke of 8
o'ciock, having been on the floor for 14%
hours. During that time he occasionally
sipped from a cup of tea, but this was his
only nourisbment. His eyes were as clear,
his voice as strong, his gestures as vigorous
as when he took the floor. Prior to this,
Senator Faulkner was the record breaker,
he having held the floor for 13 hours, dur-
ing the long debate on the Force bill, Fully
wo-thirds of Mr. Faulkner's time, however.

passed, but not until Mr. Coffeen, Wyom-
ng, asked to offer an amendment to allow
women as well as men the right of suffrage,
2s in the case in his State. The fight in the
morning hour came up on the bill to pro-
tect forest reservation from the Committee
on Public Lands. When the House went
into committee the bill was rather viciously
attacked. Beforeany vote could bereached

ment. There were seventy senators present

Jones: “We have only tegun the fight.’ The
senate the adjourned.
House.—Debate on the McCreary
bill was then resumed. Mr. McGuire took
the floor to complete his speech of yester.
day. Those who understood the destruc-
tive influence of the Chinese, he said, are
in perfect accord with the people of the
Pacific coast. Speaking of the religious
protests, that for every pagan who had been
~onverted by the missionaries, numerous
children of our own had been won from
Christianity by contact with the Chinese
and dragged down to degradation. Mr.
Outhwaite, of Ohio, in his report on the
bill, said that unless the Geary act was ex:
lended congress must provide $7.000,000 for
jeporting the Chinese. Dr. Everett ol
Massachusetts. defended the course of the
attorney-general in not enforcing the Geary
act. Atd p, m. the house adjourned. ,

The Worst Storm in the History of tha
Latter Day Marine of the Great Lakes
A Large Loss of Life.
The severity of the northwest gale that
has swepiSthe great lakes on Saturday and
Sunday has not been exceeded during the
season of navigation for the past 10 years.
Che list of wrecks, in proportion to the
aumber of vessels which were out in the
ale, is larger perhaps than any in the his-
ory of the latter day marine. That there
1as been a large loss of life now seems cer-
ain, but it may be several days before itis
inown just how many sailors perished.
following is the list of wrecks thus far re-
wrted at Chicago:
