Nearly 250,000 People Pass Through the Gates. German-American Citizens Tarn Ont in Great Force. Carl Bch an, the Orator of the Day- Ei- Prealdent Harrlaoa Addresses the Indlanans — The Arfcansans Alao Colebrate. By the Associated Press. Chicago, June 16. —Today was a big day at Jackson park. First and fore most was German day, then it was In diana day, and last but not least it was Arkansas day. The melodious chimes of bells rang oat a glad welcome to the incoming hosts of music-loving, patri otic German-Americans. Never did the white palaces look more beautiful and never did they entertain a more joyous, pleasure-loving crowd. Teutons from far and near were present in thousands, Nearly a quarter of a million of peo ple passed through the turnstiles, and more than half of them took a hand in celebrating German day. The day was bright and clear and a fresh breeze was blowing from the lake, tempering the inn's rays. Bands of musicians were scattered in every direc tion, filling the air with tnneful melo dies, and the place was like a very para dise. THE GERMAN CELEBRATION. The day's celebration started by an immense parade down town and then a march to tbe fair grounds. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when the head of the parade reached the grounds, and the crowds proceeded at once to the German government building, where speeches were made by representatives of the German government. Replies were made by German-Americans and an elaborate programme of music was carried out. Baron Yon Hollenben, Sermsn arh baeeador at Washington, responded to the greeting ot the German-AmerioJfcis. The address of the day waa delivered by Hon. Carl Schurz of New York, Scburz said: "This is German day in the peaceable competition of the na tions on the hospitable shores of the American republic. From far and near they come here to pay tribute to the genius of the American nation. It ie true we are loyal citizens of the great American republic. We are proud $ Bsimmtis£ n kt&,tixt<l "calfs" r ila eons to arms againat eueinies, the Ger man born citizens are among the first to rally under tbe flag. German spirit and German bauds have worked here truth fully, and we may well say tbe soil is saturated with German blood and labor. However, lively the good will of the German American to the fate and strug gles of the old fatherland may be, his sense of duty towards his new home is irritated by thoughts to mislead the republic from tbe sure and safe* road of its traditional politics. One desire he always has bad and always will have. It is a German, but not a less loyal Amer ican patriotic desire. It is a wish ex isting from old time between the United States and Germany, never to be dis turbed by a cloud, quarrel or misunder standing, and tbat our old and new fatherland may always be a beautiful example of hearty and everlasting friendship of people." Continuing, he referred to the advance made by the German people, and in con clusion said: "For all this triumph we eend onr thanks to the fatherland. Thanks to the German spirit and power which created all this. Thanks to every German who participated in the work." When the applause following Schnrz's address had died away, Imperial Com missioner Wermnth spoke upon the World's Colnmbian Exposition, and cloded with a welcome to the guests. After music, Mayor Harrison made an address of welcome, which concluded the exercises at the German building. The Wild West show marched in re view before the speakers' stand, and the German societies formed in line and marched to Festival hall, where Presi dent Higmbotham made an address of welcome. President Palmer made the conclnding speech. Later a caliethenic exhibition was given by 1800 boys and girls and 600 men. HOOSIBK FKSTtVrTIKS. Over at the Indiana building visitors were present by thousands. The dedi catory exercises began eariy. The build ing wae beautifully decorated with palms, foliage and cut flowers. Ex- President Harrison arrived just before tbe exercises began and was greeted with generous applause. After prayer, Executive Commissioner Haven deliv ered the keys to President Studebaker of the Indiana board of managers, who in turn presented them to Governor Claude Matthews who received them and consigned the building to tbe use of tbe people of Indiana. At the conclusion of Governor Mat thews speech, the crowd called for ex- President Harrison. Ha began by com plimenting the people of Indiana on their accomplishments in the prepara tion of the Hoopier exhibits. He said it wonld be a lasting pleasure to bim W think that while he was the country's chief executive the fair was made a possibility. He said he wanted to see the exposition successful, and the peo ple from ocean to ocean should lend their presence and make the fair as suc cessful pecuniarily as it is educationally. ON A PAYING BASI.t. W. K. Ackarman, auditor of the world's fair, and Ferd Pack, chairman of the finance committee, have issued a statement saying the local expenses for May were less than $600,000 and the total receipts were $720,000, the exposi tion being open 27 days. The expenses were heavier than they will be in June and are being reduced daily. The aver age revenue from admissions and collec tions this month exceeds $55,000 per day. ARKANSAS FBTKB. At the Arkansas Planters' home, Governor Fishback of that state, who arrived this morning with his staff, re ceived the building from President Mitchell of the state commission, and dedicated it to the use of the people of Arkansas and their friends. SUNDAY CLOSING ARGUMENTS. The obamber of the United States court of appeals was taxed to ita full capacity this morning by the crowd present to hear tbe arguments in the world's fair closing case. Chief Justice Fuller of the United States supreme court presided. Many ladies and clergy men were present. Commissioner St. Clair of West Virginia opened the argu ment for the world's fair. He was fol lowed by Judge Hand on behalf of the government. When the court adjourned at's o'clock this afternoon arguments were atill being made. _____ FLKADKU OtTItXT.

The Result a Triumph for the Socialists. Parties Opposed to the Army Bill Get the Most Seats. Great Rejoicing Among; tho Social Dem ocrats—No Disturbances or Any Consequence—The Kaiser's Forces Defeated. By the Associated Press. 1 Berlin, June 15.—The elections for the reichstag were held throughout Ger many today. Almost tropical weather prevailed everywhere in the country, which brought out a heavy vote in the mral districts. In Berlin there was an utter absence of excitement, the streets wearing their everyday appearance. The wealthy classes appeared apathetic as to the outcome. The expectation of the authorities of disorder among tbe lower classes was unwarranted, and tbe troops, which had been ordered in readi ness, lounged lazily about the barracks. Very few voters went to the polls be fore noon. At that hour workfhen left the factories and walked in groups to tbe voting stations and deposited their ballots. The Socialists displayed more activity than any of the other political groups. The women seemed as deeply interested in tbe success of tbe Social Democrats' candidate as the men of the party. A number of women were distributing electoral tickets, while others scattered leaflets, in behalf of the Socialist party, broadcast. Among the eariest voters at tbe Kaiserhoff station were Chancellor Ca pnvi and Dr. yon Boetticher, secretary of the imperial borne office 1 All the postofflce employes were given leave of absence in order that tney might vote in their districts, i The police took no measures to pre i vent rioting. However, everything i passed off quietly and no disturbances occurred. Reports from all parts indicate qniet ■ voting. Jubilant dispatches of an enor mous Socialist vote in tbe Rhine prov i inceß and in the industrial centers have been received at their headquarters here. They claim the third Berlin district. At ' this hour the Socialists seem to have carr ed 30 out of 120 districts decided. At the headquarters of the Social- Democrats' executive committee tele i gram after telegram brought news of . vote was evidently polled for the Social iet candidnteefiu the Rhine provinces, Saxony, Hamburg, Frankfort-on-the- Main and other industrial centers. ' Panlinger and Herr Schmidt, two So ; cialist candidates in Berlin, are reported ; as sura of having majorities. The So ; cialists are also confident that ttiey will capture other Berlin districts. In Ham burg the balloting promisee to result in tho return of three Socialists, and Stet tin. Leipsic, Dresden, Kiel, West Bres lau, Erlacgen, Mainz, Mannheim, Offen . bach and Sjnnebergare said to be likely to return iSocialists. Herr Krupp, national Liberal, is said not tr. be getting the support he expect ed. Dr. Btocker, anti-Semite, Baron Hammerstein, Conservative, and Eu gene Richter are reported as sure of seats. At 6 o'clock nothing positive was known of the results, although dis patches from 120 electoral districts indi cated that the Socialists had secured 30 and the Conservatives, Richterista and Liberal Clericals divided the other 90 among them. Bkrlin, June 16.—At 2 o'clock this (Friday) morning the returns from 70 districts indicate that 36 have been car ried by parties opposed to the army bill, 15 have been carried for parties favoring the bitl and 19 are in doubt between the government and the opposing parties, with the chances in the majority of them strongly in favor of the govern ment. The government parties lost their former seats, two to the Riohter iste or Social Democrats, as aecond bal lots shall decide, and one to a South German Democrat. The government won one seat. The Socialists won two seats besides having secured many chances for new victories in the second ballot. The police closed up five Socialist mass meetings, owing to overcrowding. The crowds poured cheering into the streets, where they were quickly dis persed bp mounted police. It is stated the Socialists are likely to to win three out of four re-ballots against the Radicals. In Berlin not a single candidate pledged to support the army bill was gained; it even barred the honor of a re-ballot. The prospect of government majorities appears to be vanishing. Roughly speaking, the Socialist vote shows a great increase everywhere. The Radical vote dimin ished greatly. Not 10 per cent of the votee cast in Berlin favored the army bill. The provincial returns appear to be equally emphatio in the same direc tion. Tue great success of the Social- Democrats has caused a profound sensa tion. The Agrarians were highly elated when they learned that Count Herbert Bismarck ran so unexpectedly will, tbat a reballot probably would be necessary. New York, June 15.—William Walter Phelps, the retiring minister from the United States to Germany, arrived to day on the Spree. "I think the election in Germany will go against tbe kaiser." At Chips said, "and that means the defeat of the army bill. If thiß will be done the kuieer will doubtless dissolve the reichstag and order another elec tion." LICENTIOUS MONKS. Ohnrl' v MoMiUrjr Rnbiietl bjr th« In mitta* - s«itHatioii»l Dl.clutiirea. St. Petersburg, June 15 —The chnrch of the Ohudov monastery, which ia with in the walla of the Kremlin, waa reoent ly robbed of a vast amount of plate, money and gems. The plate had just been used in the ceremoniea attendant upon the reception of the czar and had not been returned to the vaults where it was usually kept. The property and money taken amounted in value to between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 roubles. Today all the monks belonging to tbe monastery were arrested, and a search of the cells occupied by them revealed tbe fact that tbey had perpetrated the robbery. Se creted in the cells were found diamonds and other gems, which had been hastily torn form their Bettinga, holy robes and miss ng holy veeeels made of precious metals. The charge of sacri lege has been made against the monks. This is a crime that is punishable in Russia with the moßt severe penalty. Aside from the scandal arising from the robbery and the arreots, another cause tor gossip haa been given through the fact that the police, in searching the monastery for the Btolen property, learned beyond dispute that a number of women have been living secretly with the monks for a considerable time. - SENTENCES QUASHED. All the Panama Canal Convict* Sat at Liberty. Paris, Jnne 15. —Considerable excite ment baa been caused by the decision of the court of cassation on the appeal o! Charles de Lessapa and other defend acts convicted of fraud in connection with the Panama canal. Tbe court handed down a decision quashing the Bentencea on the ground tbat tbe statute of limitations covered tbe of fences charged, and that the indictments on which the pris oners were tried were irregular. In conaequence of the ileoiaion, M. Eiffel wae at once liberated from prison. Charles de Lessepa, who ia now in the St. Louia hospital Buffering from aout >. dyapepaia, waß informed that he waa free, but he was too ill to leave tbe hos pital. Tke following were those con victed : Ferdinand de Leaeepa, his son Charles, Manns, Fontane, Henri Cottn and tiuatav Eiffel. Ferdinand de Les aeps was sentenced to five years impris onment and to pay a fine. Later.—The decision of the court sub taina the contention of the applicants, and aside from defective indictment de clared they are entitled to liberty. M. Fontane waa also notified of the reversal of hia sentence, and he waa at once given liberty. In addition to the sentence of five years' imprisonment imposed upon Charles Lessepa, he was sentenced at a later trial to serve one year for bribing certain members of tbe chambers to vote for the Panama literary bond bill. Thie aentence baa not been act aeide. The statement that be waß told this morning that be waa at liberty waa slightly erro neoua.

A Wells-Fargo Messenger Shot and Killed. The Driver of the Stage and Two Horses Wounded. The Frightened Animals Ban Aawy wlttr the Vehicle and Tims thu Robber Secured No Booty—Pasaen gars Escape Unhurt. By tho Associated Press. Jackson, Cal., June 15.—An attempt was made to rob the mail stage on the way from lone to Jackson about 5 o'clock this evening by a lone highway man, at the foot of Morrow grade, about four miles from here. The stage had four passengers inside, two of them la dies, and one on the outside, besides the driver, Clint Radcliffe, and the Wells- Fargo guard, Micbael Tovey, who sat on the box by the driver. The point se lected for the crime was the identical spot where, emne five months ago, tho same guard, i.ten walking ahead of the stage, found the way barricaded by a strand of barbed wire cut from alongside the road and stretched across the road way. On tbe present occasion the rob ber waß concealed behind rocks on the right side of tbe road. He wore no mask, except that bia face waa black ened. NO WORD TO HALT. The driver Bays no word to halt was; given. Some of the passengers say they heard a call. When opposite the place of conceal ment, without the least intimation of the bloody work about to be consum mated, the discbarge of a weapon waa beard and Tovey instantly fell forward off his seat, dead. Radcliffe grasped him by one hand aa he waa falling into the roadway. The ball struck Tovey behind the right shoulder, and ia sup posed to have pierced his heart. Six horses were attached to the stage and the crack of the rifle frightened them into a gallop. The robber seeing that he was likely to be foiled in his design to capture the booty, fired again. Thia time the ball grazed Radclitfe's back, producing a slight flesh wound. The horses still continued to run and the highwaymen, now standing in full view in the road, fired twice again at the horßes, wounding one each time. The •tagfi waa Rwapt along by the impetus Of tho uniujured hore«s for 200 or 300 yards, when JJje driver halted and turned, the two injured animals into a field and came on, bringing the body of the murdered messenger to Jackeon, reaching here about 7 o'clock. TIIK ROBOKR BSCAPKS. The robber' made no effort to follow the stage to the halting place. The double-barreled shotgun belonging to the messenger waß kept on board, and this fact probably deterred the assassin from following up his scheme. Besides thiß the firing was heard by Beveral farmers working in a hayfield near by, and they came running to ascertain the cause. The robber escaped into tha thick brush on the south side of tbe road, making toward Sunny creek. He is described as a short man, about Aye and one-half feet tall. There was treasure on board the stage for both Amador city and Jackson. It is lemombered that when the wire waa strung across the road on the previous occasion there was considerable coin on board bound for Amador city to pay off toe employes of a mine there. TUB MI'UDERRD MKNSISNGBR, Tovey, the victim of the tragedy was a single man between 40 and 50 years of Bge. He had been a messenger for Wells, Fargo A Co., for 20 yeara. He had been wounded three times before by road agents. He was a messenger on the lone road for six years. There ia mncb excitement over the affair. Sheriff Gregory and a posse started at once iv pursuit on bearing of the tragedy. In undressing the body it wna found that Tovey was shot twice; the first shot went clear through hie body, passing through the heart; another ball entered hia right side below the arm pit and lodgwd in the back of the left shoulder, whence the ball, a 44-calibre Winches ter, fell out while undressing the body. A CLUE TO THE BANDIT. Warden Anil Think* Tovey Was Mur dered Ont of Revenge. Sacramento, June 15.—Warden Aull of Folsorn prison telephoned the Record- Union tonight that from tho description given of the man who stopped the lone stage and killed Messenger Michael Tovey, it may be Sharp, tbe notorious Nevada robber, who spent nearly 20 years in prison for robbing the Carson and Bodie stage, being lately released. Tovey was the messenger on the stage at that time and killed Dow, Sharp's pal. Sharp then Bhot and disabled Tovey, and after shooting many times into the coach among the passengers, robbed them all, while his pal lay dead by the roadside. He waa afterward <:a;itured and sent to prison. 'Aull aaya but two men are now at large whr would be likely to have done today's job, and ia inclined to think it waa Sharp, who bad followed up Tovey ont of revenge. The Armona Station Kobbera.
