German Building at the World's
Fair Dedicated.

Were Present
EKrelui of tin* Opening Were or the Mont
Democratic Character - llrrr Wermuth,
i- on Behalf of tho Merman Govern
ment, Welcomed the Guests.
Cbkjabo, May 34.?Thousands of
proud Teutons crowded Jackson park
Tuesday to witness the formal dedica
tion of the magnificent building erected
kj the German government. The open
toy m on a purely Informal scale.
Herr Wermuth had Issued three or
four hundred invitations to prominent
Oermsn citizens, the officials of tho
fair, representatives of other foreign
pvernments and such distinguished
persons in. were in Chicngp. The duke
of Veragua and his family had been in
vited and elaborate preparations were
Dtde for their reception.
A reception for the ceremonies com
mittee continued for two hours before
Lhe dlstlnguised guests put in an ap
pearance to admire the handsome
building and ita contents and partake
of the good cheer spread by the com
mission. The uninvited guests who
came upon a purely patriotic mission,
viewed what they could from the out
ride and then went over to the liberal
irts building where tho exhibits of tho
German manufacturers was thrown
to the public. The display is ono
ot the most complete and interesting at
lhe fair and the 800 or 000 Germans
?ho had not been asked to the opening
itthe building found plenty of enter
tainment here. While they were thus
sngaged Commissioner Wermuth was
receiving the invited guests in tho
handsome reception room in the im
perial building. The Garde du Corps
uivalry band welcomed the guests with
Herman and American patriotic airs.
The exercises of the opening were of
Bie most democratic character. Herr
Wermuth, on behalf of the German
foveniraent, extended u warm welcome
lo hii finti. He complimented the
rair, Chicago and tb-American poople,
ind said that his government was
proud to join with them in making trie <
Exposition the greatest success ever
held in tho world. He felt a
reasonable pride in throwing
open to tho world what he believed to
be ono of the handsomest buildings and
exhibits on the grounds and he hoped
visitors to the fair would learn and ap
preciate the commercial standing of his
country as shown by the exhibits of her
Berchsnts and manufacturers who had
filtered into the friendly spirit that
hsd actuated his government to under
take a fitting representation.

EULALIA HERE.

Bay?The Spantah Princess IteceUes a
Hearty Wei. ome.
New York, May 30.?The Spanish
American steamship Marie Christiana,
with the Infanta Eulalia aboard, ar
rived down the bay Thursday night too
late to pass quarantine. The vessel
waa not expected until Friday morn
ing, and the reception which it was in
tended to give to the infanta upon her
arrival had to be postponed.
The oommander of the Dolphin ex
pected to take her aboard of his vessel,
tender her a reception and escort her to
Jersey City, where she is scheduled to
board a train for Washington. The
Spanish residents had another plan for
honoring the Infanta.
The steamship, with her royal freight
on board, was first sighted off Long
Branch about 7 o'clock.
The Infanta caught her first glimpse
of the United 8tates from the bridge of
the Reina Maria Christina. It wus the
low, bleak shore of southern New Jer
sey that she saw through the small
marine glasses lent to her by Pilot
Charlea Foster. She expressed the
greatest interest in the points to which
the pUot drew her attention, and com
pletely captivated the worthy man's'
heart by her democratic simplicity.
The Infanta looked the picture of rosy
health. She is not a royal beauty, but
she is very attractive and distinguished
in appearance. She has a splendid
figure. The husband, Antonio Maria
D'Orleans, is an agreeable young man
of about 28, some seven years her jun
ior.
GROVER MAY ACT.
Sunday Opening Question Being Investl.
Cutud By Olnoy aud Carlisle.
Washington, May 20.?President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlistle are
both worried over the question of clos
ing the World's fair on Sunday, and the
president will probably have to take
some action, owing to the enormous
pressure being brought to bear upon
him by the numerous religious denom
inations throughout the country. A
delegation of the Presbyterians called
upon him Friday. They were received
at the white house by both Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland. Moderator Craigg ad
dressed the president, asking that he
take some action toward having the
fair cl osed on Sunday.
! **It is in direct opposition to the law
i nf<ww(p^c " Mr. Craiffg, "and yon
can act."
"When congress voted that f-2,500,
000," said the president, in reply, "it
was given with the distinct understand
ing that the fair should be closed on
Sunday. I can make no definite reply
now, but the attorney-general and Sec
retary Carlisle are considering the mat
ter, and if I find that 1 can act I will
probably do so."
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Congressman Camlnettl Assured That the
Law Will It* Enforced.
Washington, May 1 a?Congressman
Caminetti, of California, had a short
conference with the president Wednes
day morning, and left the white house
feeling assured it was the intention of
the president to see that the Chinese
restriction act was enforced. Mr. Cami
netti denied that it would take any
thing like the sum of money that has
been mentioned to enforce the act, for
the reason that those Chinamen en
titled to remain would have to secure
their certificates at their own expense,
and that those against whom the law
is really aimed will be frightened out
of the country tho moment an honest
attempt is made to enforce it Mr.
Caminetti is of the opinion that what
additional money may be needed will
be voted at the next session of congress,
and he fears no repeal of the law.^
Reports from forty of the sixty-three
internal revenuo districts show that
8,444 Chinese have registered. No're
ports have yet been received from the
Pacific coast districts.
Higher Christian Life Promoters.
Chicago, May 20.?A largely attended
convention for the promotion of the
higher Christian life opened Thursday
evening in the Chicago avenue church,
under the auspices of Dwight L.Moody,
with the co-operation of Rev. John Mac
Gregor, of Aberdeen, Rev. Hubert
Brooke, Episcopalian, of England, and
Rev. Charles Inn wood, Wesleyan, of
England. It will continue for seven
days.
Theodore Thorns* Mnst Go.
Chicago, May 18.?The natloijal
commission held an interesting session
Wednesday. The report of the music
committee, calling for the resignation
of Theodore Thomas as director of
music, was adopted by a vote of 30 to 10.
Whether the national commission has
tho power to enforce the requirements
of tho committee report is a question
yet to be decided.

Paris, May 1&?At the sitting of the
Behring sea commission Wednesday
Sir Charles Russell continued his argu

Russia did not give jurisdiction to the

He will continue his address on Tues

THE NEW YORK.
The Cnilwr Male** Twenly-Ono Knot* so i
Hoar?A Preinli m of Ovtr Two Hun*
dred Thotmand I'tilUrn to the Uullders. j
Boston, May Si -With forward tor- j
pedo tubes buried deep in the sea and j
the water pushed almost a? hlgli ns her
forccastlo, the It. S. armored eruiser.
New York, steamed across the line
Monday, breaking the world's record
and winuing for her buildera the largest
premium ever paid in any Country.
When twenty-one knots was predicted
as the speed for the now cruiser, many
hoped, but few believed, that her en
gines would ever be able to drive such
un immense mas* of steel through the
water at this rate. When she crossed
the line Monday, however,with a mad
of 21.09 knots through the water, and
some corrections yet to be udded for
tide, the enthusiasm on board was in
tense.
Monday's performance off the Massa
chusetts count will be echoed from one
end of Europe to the other, for it
places the United States in the van
among tlie navies ??f the world, and
gives us not only the most powerful
but the swiftest armored cruising ves
sel. There has been great enthusiasm
in England over the performances of I
the cruisers Ulaku and Blenheim, some i I
claiming that the latter had attained a
speed of 22 knots.
In the tirst. plae.e their vessels are not
armored, but simply protected by four
inch necks oven machinery and boilers, J
Kven equal speed for thom, therefore, j
would be nothing remarkable against
a vessel carrying in addition to a six
Inch protective deck a five-inch side
belt and two turrets, each 11 inches ^
thick, in the second place, neither of '
these vessels lias ever had an official
trial over a measured course. The
lilake broke down from leaky boilers
after reaching a speed of 10. T knots in
shoal water, and, developing on 18,000
horse power, while the Blenheim was
guaged tmly by a patent log, which,
it Is ch ined,'indicated |l-2. This
same i/jjtr-arneht on board the JNeyv
York s.1hjwed a speed Monday of -3
knots, and the difference between that
and the actual distanoe covered is s
proof of how unreliable patent logs are
as official tests. ?
No battle-ship ever went into action
with her decks more thoroughly pre
pared for work than did the cruiser
New York enter the race for $800,000
Monday morning. When Mr. Edwin S.
I Cramp looked out across the water I
Monday morning and saw the sea as
smooth as the traditional mill-pond,
and tho wind blowing light from the
northwest, there was a sparkle in his ,
bright eyes.
"What do you think of the condition
of wind and sea?" he was asked.
"Could not be better," he replied. "I I
I do not wish to place my expectations I
too high, but If the New York does not I
| go through that water at the rate of I
I twenty-one knots an hotir Monday I I
I shall be a very much disappointed I
man."
