RATIONAL COMMISSION SO DECIDES.

GATES SHUT ON SUNDAY.

CHICAGO, Oat. 19.—The Columbian ex position national commission held a meeting here Tuesday. A resolution was offered declaring in effect that the commission desired to see the fair open seven days in the week. The* resolution did not even reach the state of debate.

A

motion to table it was made, put

and carried Tire voca in'short order. Commissioner St. Clair announced that the directors had formally agreed to the Sunday-dosing condition by accepting the government appropriation, and would present rales on Monday containing a Sunday-closing olause.

Vlo« President Morton Arrives. Vice President Levi P. Morton, now the central figure in the exercises of dedication week, arrived in the city at 9:45 a. m., Tuesday over the Lake Shore road. He was accompanied by his daughter, Miss Maud Morton, Mrs. Redmond, a friend of the Morton family, and Privato Secretary Chilton. On the same train were exPresident Rutherford B. Hayes and his daughter, Miss Fanny Hayes. Vice President Morton is called upon this week, on account of the inability of President Harrison to come to Chicago, to exercise the social prerogatives and perform all the official funotions which by the laws that create the Columbian exposition devolve upon the president of the United States. His most important duty will be to dedicate the buildings and grounds prepared by the Chicago directory to the people of the world and for the purposes named In the act creating the fair. He will be the guest of honor, upon whose appearance the festivities of the grand dedioation ball will begin. He will be the guest of honor also at the Fellowship club's great feast, and will bold the position of honor in the grand military parade that takes the guesta of the city to the exposition grounds on the main occasion next Friday.

Other Dignitaries Arrive.

Among other distinguished guests who haye reached the city are Govs. Flower, of New York Burleigh, of Maine Reynolds, of Delaware Holt, of North Carolina Tuttle, of New Hampshire Routt, of Colorado Markham, of Colifornia \Vier, of Washington Brown, of Maryland, and Brown, of Rhode Island. All of these governors were accompanied by their staff officers and prominent citizens of the various states.

It I« Sire.

Manufactures building, where the ceremonies are to be held, will hold all the people who can crowd into it. After a careful examination a board of disinterested architects, selected especially for the work, has pronounced the building to be absolutely safe.

Tbe Bit Bull.

The chief social event of the week of ceremonies will take place to-night All day Tuesday and far into the night workmen were transforming the Auditorium Into a reception hall. Sousa's Mkrlne "band will furnish the prom enads music, and Hand'sorchestra that for the dancers.

Deooratiur the City.

TKe city is being decorated rapidly. The Work is advanced furthest in the business quarter, though in some residence neighborhoods almost every house shows'bright colors. Carpenters, decorators and all classes of workmen capable of aiding In dccoratlve work are at a premium. Many of the downtown business houses udded the art of the electrician to that .of the decorator, so that the bright colors of the' flags will shine all the more brilliantly at night by the clee trie light bulbs that will be hidden amid their folds. The municipal color, terra-botta, is being generally used to good effect. Pillars wrapped with it, then entwined with the national colors, produce a pleasing effect Shields made of it as a background show well. Decorations'thrown out disclose a great many paintings of Washington, Grant, Lincoln, and' other great Americans Columbus and this landing of Columbus. Ivy vines, palms and flowers have entered into the trlmmlngu. The colors of Italy and- Spain are given prominence, while the flags of all natlons'flutter everywhere. The designs on' some ot the larger drygoods houseB have th'erbeauty generally and in detail of the studied Interior decorative work of club or homt on gala occasions. The sums being expended in decorative work by many of the business houses reaoh up into the thousands of dollars each. In the finer residence districts many of the homes of the rich will vie with down-town houses in the elaborate character of their decorations.

Director General D»vt« Report*. Tho director general's report to the World's Columbian commission Tues day commenced with an exhaustive review of the progress on and description of the buildings and works at Jackson park. A synopsis is as follows:

Beginning wlih the grounds themselves, he followed the process through which a truncated triangle of 686 acres bad been gradually transformed from a miry extent of acrub oak swamp of a few months ago to the present appearance of an old, wall-cared-for park. Tho roads now are solid, the water basins present tho appearance of being inclosed with substantial masonry and the finished landscape clfeats are such as cannot under ordinary circumstances be attained by years of patient oare and training. While the great exhibition structures dominate the entire scene the agreeable features of the landscape are retained.

The report then deals with the buildings, commencing with tho Fine Art structure, whloh is pronounced practically fireproof, with admirably lighted galleries. The interior of this building is now nearly completed, and will be ready in ample time for exhibitors. To Fish and Fisheries building is nearly completed, and with the exception of a few minor details is nearly ready for occupancy,

as Is also tbe Woman's building. 9ortf cultural building Is also practically ready for exhibits, excepting some grading and carpentry to be done for the florioulture department and placing of basins for an aquatic dUplav. The Transportation Exhibits building revolves some criticism owing to the inconvenient arrangement architecturally and tho excessive cost over original estimates. The great annex Is "seriously fmpatrod by the crossing (overhead) of tho Intramural and South Side Elevated railways. The Mines and Mining building Is designated as the best structure In the grounds for exposition pur poses in all respects.

Unsatisfactory work of construction 011 tho Blectrloity building calls for a supplementary report. The Administration building is nearly •ompleted. Machinery hall will bo ready for Installation of exhibits November 1, and Just south of this building will bo constructed a number of smaller buildings. The Agricultural building and annex aro completed exoept in touching the Interior.

Special attention Is paid to the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building, whero the report deals with the ohancos in interior arrangement and effort to obtain additional space, absolutely Indispensable for exhibits clamoring for "entrance.

Th«n follows a description of the Government building and the additional out-door government exhibits the official, foreign and State buildings to bo ereoted, la process of construction and oompletod. The foreign exhibits are pronounoed indescribable In their beauty, grandour and unique nature. The Midway plalsanoe will be adorned by characteristic features from every quarter of the globe, civilized and uncivilized, ranging from illustration of existing furious and remote peoples and tribes of foreign countries to the artlstlo delineation of ancient and modern domestic llfo and Industry, the products of industrial art and noted natural beauties of the world.

Have Left Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.—Three superbly equipped trains moved slowly out of the Pennsylvania railroad station conveying the highest officials of the executive branch of the government, the members of the highest tribunal in the judicial branch, and diploraates and representatives of foreign countries to Chicago to attend the dedicatory ceremonies of the Columbian exposition. Seldom have such a number of people of note been bound on the same mission as when the trains pulled out on their 1,000-mile journey. The three trains left the station only a few minutes apart, tho first section departing at 10:55 o'clock. The cabinet train was the first to leave. It had on board the cabinet officers, the wives and daughters of some of them, and other persons employed in the departments. It was in charge of Mr. Ewing, of Chicago. The supreme court train with the chief justice and associate justices followed a few minutes behind, and then the diplomatic train, bearing at least 100 representatives from foreign countries, moved off.

Disastrous Fire Visits Englewood, a Chicago Suburb.

A SCORE OF BUILDINGS DESTROYED.

The Loss Estimated at •100,000 A Woman Leaps from a, Third Story Window aud Is Killed—A Man Per-

Ishcs In the Flames.

A BAD FIRIt.

CIIICAGO, Oct 19.—Twenty buildings burned to the ground, Involving a loss of $100,000,and two human lives crushed out were the appalling results of a fire of Englewood Tuesday morning. The flames broke out at" 4:80 o'clock a. m. in Bluni & Jaeger's bakery, 017 Sixty-third street, and raged for nearly three hours. For a time It seemed as if the gallant efforts of the firemen to confine the conflagration within the block in which it started would be futile, and the entire business portion of the little city was threatened with destruction. After two hours of hard and desporate fighting, however, the firemen succeeded in mastering the fire fiend, and by 9 o'clock the flames wore well under control.

The Victims.

So far as known but two lives were lost They are: Mrs. Ada Butler. Hotel Kent, Sixty-third and Ilonore streets, killed by jumping 1 rom a thirdstory window.. Body hrulsod and mangled? taken to tho county morgue.

John Howard, baker, Sixty-third and Wright streets, burnod in Blum & Jaeger's bakery: body taken to Hornlg's morgue.

Panic In a Hotel.

Nobody seems to know just tow the fire started When tho alarm was flrgt given the frame structure in which the bakery was situated was a mass of flames, and when the engines, under oommand of Marshal Murphy, readied tho spot the people were pouring out of the adjoining buildings, dazed and lialf-clad. Tho lodgers In the Hotel Kent, a three-story brick structure at tlie corner of Ilonore and Sixty-third streets, however, did not at first seem to be worried at the rapid approach of the fire, but when they did awaken to the full realization of their danger they lost all reason. With plenty of opportunity to escape they rushed to the Honore street side of the hotel and, breaking tho windows, stood panic-stricken, shrieking for assistance.

Crushed oa the Pavement.

When the patrol wagon reached the scene the officers saw'at once that the occupants of the hotel oould be easily rescued, and shouted to them to remain where they were. All obeyed and were saved except Mrs. Ada Butler, who lost' her head and jumped, being killed by the fall. She olimbed over the railing of the porch at the third story and prepared to leap. Mattresses had been spread on the sidewalk to break the fall of any who might jump, but they proved useless in this case. Mrs. Butler turned her back to the crowd, and just as the fire had reached the porch above her head she released her liold and shot below! As she went down her^feet struck the railing of the porch of the second story. The jar threw her far out Her %ody turned slowly and she fell on her head. When an officer roaobed her side she was dead.

Rapid Progress of the Flames. The whole affair occupied but a few momenta' time, but in that time the fire had gained great headway. Starting in the rear of Blum fc Jaegers, it had communicated to the frame sheds in the rear and went along the line in both directions, until twenty buildiugs had been destroyed. The heat was so intense that it warped the iron on the street car tracks, and set fire to the hose on the street.

Found Dead In the-Rains.

It was fully 9 o'clock Mien the firemen began a search for those absent, and who were supposed to be in the ruins. The fact that nobody about the burning block or in the baker shop of Blum & -Jaege.r had given any alarm caused the firemen to 'turn their atteution to that place. Huge streams of water were turned into the piace aud some time lalfcr a body was found. The unfortunate man had been literally roasted to death and could not at first be recognized. That he was an employe in the baker shop was ccrtain. The body, was piaced in the wagon and taken to the morgue, where it was afterwards identified as that of JoiiU Howard, a baker, employed by Blum & Jaeger.

KILLED BY THE CARS.

Three Men Lose Their Lives in on the Lehigh Road. WAVKRLY, N. Y.,Oct 19.—Three mer lost their lives in a rullroad wreck at the highway crossing near Scott's coal yard, a short distance from this place on the Lehigh railroad.

REID BKMKFV

Nrcw YORK, Oct. 19.—Whitelaw Rckl has given out his letter of aeccptanee. It is addressed to Hon. W. T. Durbin, of Anderson, lnd., Mid in it the republican candidate for vice provident says, among other tlunvs: "When tho nomination with which the national convent'*)-.! had honored mo was formally announced by your eonunittco I accepted it at onco. Iu dolus I accepted aUo the principles sot forth in the resolution adopted by the convention as tbe basin of ita upi»f ul to tho popular BuUrnRo. To do other or lc:s^ than this is to an honorablo nmu an impoKsibillty. A political party is t\ti association of ciiizcus seeking to have the Kovcrnment conducted in accordance with its views and i«iv «eutint' candidates whom it strives to cloet for that purj.oye. To acccpt tt« nomination without intoning to curry out its principles would he as dishonorable and it* criminal as to procure goads uudcr false pretenses.

Important rrlticlplon Involved. "Tho party platforms—to cailrd -are more important this year than usual, liolli the lead Ing candidalcH have oncc commanded the approval of the American people in its highest form of expression. Attention is therefore concentrated less on the men themselves aud moiv on tho principles each is put forward io represent, and would, in ease of reelection, be rt Uulrod to carry out. "Tho declarations of our opponents demand a still oloser scrutiny, since their victory nor. would glvo them the rtrst opioriuniiy they 1«IVL hud since lb5D to put 1i? practice iheir policy Never since that date have they had control at onco both iu the oxocutive und legislative departments of the government. This year the election of a president clearly carries with it majorities in both houses of congrcss

The Tariff,

"It is obvious that in the common judgment of the people in all parts of the country the really vital issues which this year divide parties and demand a i«opular decision arc those relating to the tariff and tho currency. We favor a protective tariff and when in full power made tho present one. Our opponents favor a tariff for revenue only and promise the repeal of the prosent one. "Should the American people now choose tho republican caqftdates tho present tariff would stand, or. whea amended, would only be so ohangod as to Insure a oloser conformity in practise to the principles on which it was made. If our opponents should be chosen their congress is pledged to the repeal of the present tariff uud to tho adoption of one arranged for revenue only, and their executive ts pledged to the doctrine that a taritl having regard also for American wages Is unconstitutional, so that the only new one that could escape the presi deutial veto must be of tho Kind which the London Times considers equivalent to free trade. "We maintain that the present tarifT has worked well that it has developed Amcricau manufactures, steadied and increased American wages and promoted the general prosperity. Our opponents deny that there has been any in crease of prosperity under tho present tariff: declare that wages have been reduced, and dc nounco republican policy, which, as they say, fester* no other industry so much as that of the sheriff. "Wo favor the system by which, when we think tho country ready for the reduction or ab ollUpn of duties, wo insist upon getting cone spondlng and reciprocal advantages from for elgn countries as the condition of their enjoying thoso advantages in our own markets. Our opponents denounce this reciprocity as a sham and therefore inforontlally pledge thotnselvos to its repeat

Expediency of Protection

"The expediency of a protective tariff hat* been vindicated by the experience of the last thirty years—the most wonderful* period ot financial success over unheard of diniculties in the record of modern civilization. Under and by its aid tho republican ujanngement of our finances has resulted in the largest pay mentof a national d»jbt in the shortest time known to History, and in the simultaneous development of the industries cf the country und the prosperity of the people on a scale without a parallel. "Eight years ago, in a masterly public paper, James G. Blnine called attention to the revelations of ttjo United Stcics census as to the net results of tho labor and savings of the American people under tho system ot a protective tariff. The true value of all the property In tho United States, excluding slaves, was set down iu the census of 1800 at 114,000,000,000, that being what there was to show for the toil of years, With the success of the republican party that year the republican protective policy, which has sinco prevailed, was introduced, in th ccnsus of ISttO tho true value of the property in the Unl'^d States was sejt down at $41,000,003,0)0 —making an Increase in these tvrontv years of ccpubllnao protection of fcTO.OOO.OOO.CO'J, or ovor double *he entire growth of the previous

4J.1

years. We are now able to carry the compurl son ten years further, through the disclosure* of another deccnnlal ccnsus. It appears that the property of the United States has been still further increased in the last ten years by 114,000,000,000—making a total increase in the thirty years of republican rule and republican protective tariff of H4,0J3,0J0,(K0, against iU, (XJ,0)0,0o0 earned in the previous --0 y^ars.

Hcfcrt to Peck's lleport.

"Our opponents join issue with us directly and )KKjitlvcly on the cffccts of the present tariff. They deny that there has bceu any increase of prosperity under it, declare that wages have been rcduccd and denounce our policy, saving with a sneer it foster* no Indus try so much as that of the tariff." Mr. Held then refers to the report of Mr. Peclr, the New York democratic commisAioner of labor statistics, upon this subject, us showing an increase during the year 1801 under the prescut'^ariff iu wages, in the value of products, lu tho deposits iu savings banks or In building and loan associations ami in the value of real and personal properly as fixed for purposes, not of speculation, but of taxation. "This report shows: STet increase of wages, $0,377,926 net .Increase of production, *31.31n,130 increase of savings bank deposits, 6i i,755.448 net sum invested during the year in building and loan associations, tlS.TdP.rJj increase in the valuation of tho real and personal property of the state.

Tho (.'arroney Question.

On the subject of currency the issue between the republican party and its opjxwniH is utmost as sharply defined as on the tanll. Wo demand that every dollar, paper, silver or gold, shall to made and kept ns *.\od us any other dollar. Our opiHMieuts. while professing the same desire, demand that the national bank currency nhall broken down by the repeal of tho lujierem.i. tax on the issues of state bunks. The proposal of our oppcujents is to return to the stite bank system under which it v.aa rarely equal to coin, was often at a rulr.ous discount and often worthless. No human beinj ever lost dollar or a ecnt by tho nolo of a national br.nk, solvent or otherwise. Losaes by state bank uotes have l.ecn countod by tens ot millions, have touched all classes and reached every cor. ner of the rountry. It is true that the I'radual payment of the government louds may requite, some changes in the securities demanded a guaranty for national bunk noteu.

Tho party which devised the system and made it amagnillceut success may bo relied upon to meet that emergency when it arises: and ihe one parlv a-v-cred that tlu-y could not he lellid upon in the matter is the party which has now formally proposed as itx remedy for the diRlculty a return to the Remi-barbarous condition of the holerogenous bank issues ht-b re the war. "The republican parly in raising the funds for prosecuting the war for the union. Index ising the national banking systom. in resuming specie payments, in paying the debt, in providing the great sums required for giving just peuaions to tuo soldiers, and 1n its wholo policy for the last thirty years has shown the greatest financial ability uud achieved the greatest financial successes attained during tho century in any part of the world, and has. therefore, a right to claim ihe popular conftdence uow. Tho democratic varty has opposed in wholo or in part every one of these successive steps and has encouraged in turn every financial heresy of the samo period from flat money aud the payment of bonds In greenbacks to the substl• tution of state for notional bank notes: uud it lias therefore no right claim the popular confidence now on this subject.

Dengur from Democratic Success. "Tho danger has never before bceu so great The democratic party has threatened the peaco or prosperity of the country, but. withiu '^le memory of this generation it has never had the power to carry out its purixisos. As has been already remarked, when it had a president ho wu* held in chock by a republican congress: and whon a democ?atlo house of representatives '^as *licted it was still held in cbeok by ropubiu'v.n senate. If they cloct prcsidont this time thev will certainly have both the house and senate too, and thus will bo placed in absolute control for tho first time since 1859, with nothing to provent thoir currying out tho threats they have made against both tho present tar.JT and thu present currency."

Conclusion.

Mr. Roid indulges in fulsora praise of the administration of President Harrison, declaring it honest, oble and safe, and "that tho present condition of the country and the gcncril public ccafldcnce In the administration combine to form tho strongest protest against subjecting tho people to tho shock and needless risk inevitable In such a change. "A sudden reversal of policy is not what either the suggestions of ordinary business produce or the other obvious and general contentment of people call for. I bolievo your declaration of principles and your renomination of a prudent, spotless and successful president will command the popular approval at the polls, and will, under God. inure to the continucd benefit of our country."
