THE BIG FAIR.

Programme of the Opening Ueromoniea on Monday.

ALL ARRANGEMENTS ARE COMPLETE.

What President Cleveland Will Do by Simply Pressing an Electrical Button —Finishing Touches on Ground, and IlulldlngR,

THE PROGRAMME FIXED.

CHICAGO, April 20.—A good deal of the energy of the administration of the fair is being centered in the work of preparing for the opening of the exposition. Except for a few details, everything is settled and is not now liable to change. The plans as completed will make the opening of the fair a spectacle of the most unexampled glory. The people, massed on the square in front of the administration building or lodged on the fridges of the lagoons, will see the' president of the United States lay his thumb on a button. Over in the Machinery hall will arise a great roar and the turrets of the great building will nod a.s the wheels begin to turn. Then from every flagstaff---and the flagstaffs are like pickets in a front-yard fence— the banners of the nations will swing loose and stream out under the sky in soarlet, yellow and blue.

Done by Pressing a Button. The fountains in the basin will begin to spout and the sweeps of the rowing girls in Macmonnies' trireme will for the first time lie in the water. Down at the end of the basiu French's figure of the "Republic" is standing now sheathed in a wooden ease. Before Monday the sheath will have been removed and drapery substituted for it. When the button is touched this drapery will part and the "Republic" will stand forth serene and majestic. All this is to be done with one touch of the button. The work of making it possible is about the highest development of electrical science that has been shown on the grounds. A perfect lace of wires has been laid up to the stand and thence to the buildings, the fountains and the figure of the "Republic."

Preparing for tlie Crowds.

In the meantime the business of building the grand stand and laying the brick pavement of the square is being pushed. A salute of guns will be fired when the president reaches the grounds and probably another salute will be fired when the machinery starts.

What shall be done with President Cleveland and the other guests of honor after the olose of the formal exercises has not been settled. He will probably be entertained at lunch and after that he will make his "official visit." He will be escorted to the Manufactures building and take his stand in the American section. Here he will receive the commissioners of the foreign nations. At night the display of lights will be startlingly beautiful. Five searchlights will be placed in the grounds before Monday—one each on Electricity, Woman's and Agricultural buildings and two on the Manufactures building.

Programme a Long One.

The committee has very wisely decided not to lug Mr. Cleveland around Jackson park. He will be tired enough after the ceremonies, which are fairly long, from the following programme:

Music—Chorus and orchestra. Prayer—Rev. W. H. Mllburn, D. D. Poem—"The Prophecy," W. A. Crofuit, Miss Jessie Coutlioui,

Music—Chorus and orchestra. Address—Director General Davis. Address—President Cleveland. The starting of the machinery.

Opening of the Woman's Building. The programme of the ceremonies of the board of lady managers at the opening of the Woman's building at the exposition was issued Tuesday. These ceremonies will be held in Music hall on the lake front near the Manufacturer's building. The following programme was issued. Grand March

Jean Ingeborg von Bronsart, Welmcr, Germany. Prayer Miss Ida Hultln Dramatic Overture .... Miss Frances Elltcott, London, England

Ode.

Address Mrs. Potter Palmer Jubilate...Mrs. H. H. A. Bouch, 'Boston, Mass. Addresses by distinguished representatives of foreign nations:

Spain—Duchess de Veragua. Italy—Countess dl Brazza. England—Mrs. Bedford Fenwlck, Ireland** Duchess of Aberdeen. Gormany Russia—Princess Schachoffsky.

Hymn A'taerlca." Benediction. Receiving President and Duke.

Military preparations for the arrival of the duke of Veragua and President Cleveland have been completed. On the arrival of the duko at the Union depot he will be esoorted to tho Auditorium by a battery of artillery, a troop of cavalry and a regiment of infantry. When President Cleveland arrives at the depot, an hour later, he will also be met by a similar body of troops. In tho event that neither of the revenue cruisers are in port the battery of the artillery accompanying the duke of Veragua will move over to the lake front after the duke enters the hotel and will then fire a salute. On the opening day of the fair President Cleveland will be esoorted from the Lexington hotel to the world's fair grounds by a troop of cavalry, On the arrival at the fairgrounds a battery of artillery will fire a national salute of forty-four guns.

The Fhiliblng Touches.

A force of 18,000 men is employed at Jackson park In cleaning up debris, landscape work, road making, installing exhibits and completing carpenter and staff work. The Administration building is practically finished. Eightyflve per cent, of all the exhibits have been installed in the Mines and Mining building, the only countries behind being Russia and Italy.

In the Horticultural building the pomological display is backward. The viticultural display has on hand about one-fourth of its exhibits, those of fipain, Italy, Portugal, France and Aus­

tralia being nearly complete. The fioricultural display, on the other hand, is well advanced.

Tho woman's building looks as if finished, and indeed lacks nothing but the booths, the elevators and the exterior painting. The booths, however, are in a backward state, and installation is still further behind. Apparently tho British exhibit, consisting mostly of engravings, is the only one that will be ready on time.

Two Exhibits Short.

The Fine Arts building is a busy place but installation is slow. Mr. Wiston said that fully 70 per cent, of the exhibits were on hand, the delinquents being mainly Russia and Italy. The United States exhibits were all in long ago. Tuesday six carloads from Italy were received, but that is a small fraction of what Is expected.

At the Fisheries building 80 per cent, of the exhibits havo been installed. There are only two more tanks to be filled.

Tho United States building is probably the nearest ready of any of the great buildings. The painting of the exterior was nearly finished. Capt. Aytoun said that fully nine-tenths of the exhibits had been received.

Many Hen In Manufacture's Building. The 5,000 men engaged in the great Manufacture's building putting up exhibits opened hundreds of boxes Tuesday and placed their contents in the pavilions. At the same time little difference could be noted in the condition of things generally. The acres of floor space are piled up with boxes and bundles and packages. Hundreds of mechanics are rushing the pavilions to completion as fast as possible. As yet scarcely a single exhibit in this building can be said to be completed, but Chief Allison insures the public that by next Monday morning a surprising change will be witnessed.

In the Agricultural building exhibits are taking shape more rapidly than in any other of the larger departments of the fair. Nearly all the pavilions are in practically complete shape.

It is impossible to tell from day to day just what is being done in Machinery hall. Twenty carloads of exhibits arrive and are scattered about the building each twenty-four hours. Scores of men are actively at work in every space set apart to exhibiters, but the character and nature of the stuff they have to handle necessarily prevents speed.

The Transportation department is further advanced than almost any of tho others. A great many of the exhibits there, especially in the railroad section, are ready now to be shown. All the spaces in the carriage section have been completed, and the exhibits are going in with all possible speed. The French exhibit is several days behind. However, Chief Smith says that next Monday enough attractions will bo in shape to entertain the public.

After laboring for three days Chief Barrett of the electric department finally succeeded in completing arrangements' to have lights turned on Tuesday night so that the work in the Electricity building will hereafter go ahead day and night until every exhibit is in shape and ready for inspection.

The Great Engine Started.

The great Allis engine which will respond to President Cleveland's pressure of the electric button May 1 received the first breath of its life Tuesday evenlug for the purpose of testing its working powers. As the hot air and steam entered its shining cylinders the mighty fly-wheel 6lowly commenced to revolve, and with each pulse of the escape valve put forth strokes that made the whole machine tremble. This engine is a wonderful piece of jnechanisin, weighing 850 tons, yet notwithstanding its ponderous size moves as easily and majestically and noiselessly under its 2,000 horse-power pressure as an automatic toy.

THE PRESIDENT'S PLANS.

Wr. Cleveland's World's Fair Trip Outlined. WASHINGTON, April 20.—The president will begin his world's fair trip this afternoon at 4:20. Mrs. Cleveland, the entire cabinet and all the cabinet women except Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Olney, who are not here, will accompany him. Mrs. Lament will join the party in New Jersey, where all will take the Dolphin to review the assembled navies of the world. After the review Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Bissell and Private Secretary Thurber will return to Washington. The president and the others will attend the naval ball on Thursday night, and on Friday at noon will leave for Chicago, arriving there some time Saturday afternoon. The return trip from Chicago will begin Monday evening at 0 o'clock. Tho presidential train in which the entire journey will be made will run over the Pennsylvania road.

No Lives Lost. ,J

CHRBOVGAN, Mich., April 28.—-Capt. R~ T. Evans, who was supposed to have been lost off the steamer Ohio in last week's big gale, arrived here Tuesday. With him were the four men he took in the lifeboat when he left the steamer. They were nearly starved when found by the tug River Queen at Scammon's cove on Cockburn island.

Chicago's Latest Big Fire.

CHICAGO, April 25.—As announced in these dispatches the loss sustained by the burning of the First regimen armory early Tuesday morning was almost total, the amount being about *250,000, with insurance of about 8100, 000. At 2 p. m. Tuesday the bodies of George Halford and Walter Williams were recovered from the ruins.

Bad Prospect for Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, April 20.—From all portions of Mississippi it is reported that cotton had either been killed, or greatly injured by the recent cold spell and frost and that there was no seed for replanting.

REACHED NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, April 20.—The first of the great fleet to arrive from Hampton Roads was the Dolphin, with Secretary Herbert on board. Tho Dolphin passed Sandy Hook at9:45 a.m. and closely £ol-

THE DOI.I'HIN (U. S.).

lowing was the Russian man-of-war Dimitri Donsltoi and the flagship of the Russian contingent. The Dimitri Donskoi came direct from Russia and ha*l on board Vice Admiral Kosnakoff, commander in chief of the Russian fleet. As she passed the llook she saluted the secretary of the navy's flag on the Dolphin, the latter promptly acknowledging the courtesy. The Dimitri Donskoi also exchanged salutes with the United States monitor Miantonomoli. All the ports in the Narrows answered in turn the salutes of tho Russian flagship. Captain Rodgers, supervisor of the harbor, escorted the Russian to the position It will occupy in the lower bay until the fleet passes up the river.

The Rest Are Sighted.

Shortly after 11 o'clock the remainder of the fleet were sighted off Silver Lake, N. J., proceeding north Jn about the same order the men-of-war will occupy during the review. At noon the squadron was abreast of Navesink lights, and but a few miles from Sandy llook. Lowering clouds hung over the bay and ocean at noontime, threatening heavy rain at any minute. Tho haze had deepened into a dense fog and the prospects for enjoying a good view of the incoming fleet were discouraging.

Raising tile Flag of Paul Jones. The ceremonies at the Navesink Highlands, made more impressive by hoisting here the original flag of Paul ones, began at 10 o'clock. The idea of erecting a national flag pole at Navesink originated about three years ago with William O. McDowell, of Newark, N. J., and now a splendid flagstaff, 185 feet high, has been erected by subscription from patriotic societies and individuals. On this staff hereafter will fly by day the national ensign, in conformity with orders issued from the treasury department.

Saluted the Fluff.

Interesting ceremonies were observed at the hoisting of the flag, following an invocation by Rev. Dr. Lloyd. After the salute of twenty-one guus by the Miantonomoli was given the flag was hauled down and a largo and handsome regulation flag, with its forty-four stars and thirteen stripes, was run up by Mrs. Adlai E. Stevenson, wife of the vice president of the United States and president general of the national society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, assisted by Capt. Caulkins. It will be lowered at sunset and raised at sunrise every day in the year.

Getting in Line.

The great fleet will pass up the bay to-day and take positions in the North river, the foreign vessels on the New York side of the stream and the American vessels on the New Jersey side. While the ships are passing up the river the ceremonies of the unveiling of the statue of John Ericsson will be in progress at Battery park. These will begin at 9:80 a. m. Upon arriving at the review position the ships will drop anchor, and for the remainder of the day the usual naval discipline will prevail. There will be no visiting aboardship to-day. At 9 in the evening the officers of tho war vessels will be entertained at the Union League club.

Trip from Fortress Monroe. When the fleet sailed out of Hampton Roads Monday morning it consisted of twenty-seven ships, formed in two columns. The voyage of 270 miles from Fortress Monroo to the anchorage was a most delightful one. The predictions of rough weather, based upon the northeasterly winds which whipped into tempestuous waves the usually placid waters of Hampton Roads, failed to be realized. The ocean was as smooth as a mill pond.

Programme for Thursday.

Thursday will be a busy day. At 8 o'clock the vessels of the naval fleet will all bo dressed with flags and bunting and the river will present a gala scene. Hundreds of tugs, yachts and excursion boats, with big loads of sightseers and colors all a-flying, will be out early to secure tho best positions from which to watch the review. At 9 o'clock tho patrol boats will close the river at the north and south ends of the column and form a cordon around the fleet. President Cleveland and his cabinet officers, with a few invited guests, will board the Dolphin and the review will begin. As the reviewing vessel passes up between the double line of warships the big guns will belch forth fire and smoke in national salute, and there will be an uproar and concussion the like of which New York lias never before heard. As soon as the Dolphin has completed the course the president will receive the commanders of the squadron on board and then go ashore. The whole fleet will then fire simultaneously the national salute of twenty-one guns.

Failure in Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 20.—Confessions of judgment were entered in the circuit court to the total amount of nearly $90,D00 against Giles Hros. ifc Co., jewelers, located on the second floor of the Malonic temple.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report

Sioux City Shaken by a Heavy Financial Crash.

CRASH AT SIOUX CITV.

Sioux CITv, la., April 20.—At o'clock Tuesday afternoon D. T. Hedges, president of tho Un'ou Stock Yards company, and the wealthiest man in Sioux City, assigned all his property, amounting by schedule accompanying the assignment to $1,998,000, toE.il. Hubbard, for the benefit of his creditors. At the same time the Hedges Trust company, of which he is president, assigned to Mr. Hubbard, liabilities being $250,000 and assets $450,000. Mr. Hedges'liabilities are *1,024,024.

Another Big Company Assigns. Ten minutes later the Union Loan A Trust company asigned, also to Mr. Hubbard. Its statements show liabilities of $745,574 and assets of $1,408,038. The company had guaranteed notes, which were sold in Chicago, New York and other eastern cities, amounting to about $1,400,000, which are coining due and cannot be paid owing to the closr money market. Two hundred and seventy thousand dollars of these were notes of D. T. Hedges, whose failure forced that of the Union company.

Stove Works AINO Sliut Down. The Sioux City Stove Works company a few minutes later filed two mortgages to tho Union Loan & Trust company amounting to $850,000 and at once closed its works, leaving 100 men unemployed.

A mortgage for 5108,000 given by D. A. Williams on the Hotel Garrettson to A. S. Garrettson and by him assigned to the Union Loan & Trust company was filed also a warranty deed from D. F. Hedges to the Union company for 8.000 acres of farm land in this county for 8350,000.

Ed llaakinson In Trouble."

Ed llaakinson, proprietor of the Sioux City Dressed Beef & Canning company, and one of the wealthiest men in the city, assigned a large amount of property to E. A. Burgess to meet special liabilities, but will make no general assignment.. He had indorsed a large amount of Hedges' paper and it forced him to take this action. Mr. llaakinson also assigned about §150,000 worth of other property to relatives in trust. E. It. Smith, secretary of the Union Loan & Trust company, conveyed 1100,000 of private property to trustees for liis creditors. A. S. Garrettson, vice president of the Union company gave a deed for about 000 acres of land to T. P. Gere for $85,000 but lias made no assignment. He is president of the Sioux City & Northern and Pacific Short Line railroads, and says he will make no assignment. The Sioux City Terminal Railway company of which Mr. Garrettson is president, filed a $750,000 mortgage to the Union Loan & Trust company.

Could Carry tho Load No Longer. The people and companies thus In volved are the leading ones of the city representing the syndicate that has builtrail ways,great buildings and Rtreet railways and done most to make this place a city of 40,000 people. They have carried immense burdens till the close money market made it impossible to go further. The business of the various parties was carried on mainly through the Union Loan & Trust company which placed their collaterals in the east. No Sioux City bank is in any way involved.

The crash was totally unexpected un til .within twenty-four i.ours, and it brought a day of terror for the city. There is no panic, however, and none of the banks have had serious runs. The Union Loan & Trust company had $500,000 capital.

Arrangements had been made for a large amount of money from the east and if the crash could have been postponed forty-eight hours It probably would not havo occurred. But creditors were ready to attach and forced tho as signments. Chicago people are under derstood to have forced the issue.

Statement of Liabilities.

The Union Loan & Trust company has a capital of 81,000,000. The general statement of liabilities is: Due to banks 114,889 debenture bonds and interest $238,352 due on deposits, 8497,883 total $745,574. The assets aggregate $2,000, 000.

The Union Loan fc Trust company had indorsed the paper of heavy Sioux City concerns and an immense amount of this paper was held in the cast and payment demanded and renewal re fused. The Leeds Stovo company has assigned to the Union Loan & Trust company, giving mortgage on foundry and real estate to secure $175,000 and chattel mortgage on stock, machinery Ct/C.

Will Affect Other Houses.

The loan and trust company being local organization the failures are farreaching in their effects and may temporarily affect the interests of some of tho heaviest enterprises in the city. Itis believed that a roorgizution of the Union Stock Yards company will be necessary, Mr. Hedges having been its president and a heavy stockholder. It is announced, however, that business at the yards will go on without interrup­

The Sioux City (.'able Hail way company, of whose stock Mr. Hedges owns half, it is thought, will suffer more than any other of the enterprises in which lie was concerned. None of the other transit lines is affected. Tuesday evening, after business men had a chunce to get something like a comprehensive view of tho .situation, the panicky feeling that obtained during the day subsided. It is found that none of tho

banks nor any of the permanent industries of the town will be seriously nffccted. It is believed by some that, Mr. Hedges will be able to liquidate in time.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 20.--A special to the Commercial Gazette says a frightful wreek "occurred on the liare Rock railroad shortly before li o'clock Tuesday evening. The road is about 2 miles in length and runs fiom Wdys station, on the Somerset &. Cambria road, to tho quarries of the Somerset Stone company. The grade is very steep, being about 150 feet to tho mile.

On the engine were Engineer Neff. his little son Russell and a farmer, John E. file, with his wile and daughter, while on tho cars wore some twenty laborers returning from tho day's work. At the foot of tho grade were standing a number of cars loaded with stone. Into those the runaway train dashed with fearful velocity. Tho engine and cars wcro thrown from the track and Pile, his wife and daughter wore buried under the engine. When tuken out they wcrn dead. Engineer NefT and his son wcro severely scalded, the latter fatally. A number of the laborers jumped from the train before the crash came. Those who staid on were buried in the wreck. Seven dead bodies have been taken from the wreck.
