St Paul special: Aman who arrived here from Winnipeg stated that Asiatic cholera has found its was to Winnipeg, bast week there arrived there on the Canadian Pacific railway 256 immigrants from Europe, many of them from Southern Russia. They came to Montreal in the steamer Vancouver, and were destined, it is said, for the United States. They came from cholera infected districts and were not allowed to come into the United States. They were shipped by the Canadian Pacific to Winnipeg in the expectation of going from that point into North Dakota and elsewhere in the American Northwest. Cholera broke out among these immigrants at or on the way to Fort William, a station on the Canadian Pacific on Lake Superior. A man died of the disease on one of the cars. The car was quarantined at Fort William and the rest of the immigrant train sent on to Winnipeg in different sections. On the way to Winnipeg a child died of the disease on one of the ears and three other passengers fell sick. On arriving at Winnipeg, this state oi affairs known, the authorities became alarmed. They also learned that the passengers on the infected cars had been allowed to mingle with the railroad employes and other citizens of Winnipeg. All the passengers of the three cars were promptly quarantined. A Peanut Roaster Explodes. A curious accident occurred on Illinois street, Indianapolis, one of the most erowded business tbroughfares In the city. A steam peanut roaster in front ot S. J. Frances’ cigar store exploded, the force of the explosion sending the machine crashing through the heavyplate glass window of the store. Frances, who stood behind the window, was showered with' the flying glass and his face slashed with seven deep cuts. J. W. Caldwell,a traveling man from Chicago, who was making a purchase in the store, was badly cut about the head. Ed. McGaw and Otto Schmuck, passers by, were more or less seriously cut by flying glass and two or three women were slightly scratched in the same manner. Irish flume Bule. London special: An important statement Is made in regard to the Irish -Home Rule bill. It is to the effect that when the bill reaches the committee stage a large section of radicals will support a proposal to leave the Counties of Londondery, Antrim, Down, and Armagh, in the province of Ulster, under Imperial rule, these bejng the Counties la which the Unionist element is strongest. It is considered doubtful that Mr. Gladstone would assent to such a scheme even if t.he Irish Nationalist members were willing to do so. The proposition means the disolution of Ireland and the Irish Legislature created under it would represent only a portion of the country. Crushed to Death. Sargent Joseph W. Warwick of Raleigh, N. C., who for three months has been superintending the installation of the Governmorit exhibit at the World’s Fair, was crushed to death under a fourteen ton gun, which slipped from its fastenings while being placed in position.

Charles Reed, owner of the stud, was asleep at the time, and when awakened and informed of the destruction simply remarked, “All right, it cannot be helped.” He did not even visit the scene, and has not made up a list of the mares killed. It is known that one of the mares belonged to Turfman Keene,

and was valued at *B,OOO. Mr. Reed’s loss will amount from 880,000 to 8100,000. Lightning also struck Horatio llcrrv’s barn in the same neighborhood ' and killed two brood mures.

Deadwood (S, D.) special: The underground workings of the Deadwood terra mine, one of the great Howe stake group, is on fire, and is burning fiercely. The fire started in the 200 toot level and it is feared is eating its way to the workings of the other mines, which are all connected. AU the mines and mills of the group are shut down and 1,000 men are idle. If the fire eats away the timber supports in the slopes or chambers, whole acres of the earth’s surface, part of which is densely settled, will cave in, entailing large loss of property. Two or three hundred men are at wort fighting the fire, but they make little headway, being driven back by gas and smoke. An I'n usual Ceremony.

FAIR WORK ON SUNDAY THOUSANDS EMPLOYSD AT JACKSON PARK. Mor* Visitor* Paid Admission Fees Las* Hnnday than Upon Any I’reosdln* Day —The Whit. City WUI Open Its Gates on Tims. Goin* On with a Rush. Chicago ooHoapondoncc: Bunday ha* ceased to be a day of reat at the World’s Fair grounds. It la almost as busy as any fllher day. Last Sunday was, perhaps, the busiest one the park has known since that gang of Italian laborers went in to level off the ground* and was pi omptly driven out Uy * bigger gang of native workmen. That was about two years ago. Last Sunday there were lively scene, all over the grounds. Long trains of exhibits

came rumbling into the grounds, workmen were busy In all the buildings, and the park was thronged with visitors. The turnstiles showed a big attendance. When Captain Horace Elliott went around to ail the gates just as the sun was dipping below Midway Plaisance he learned that 11,904 people had paid to get into the park. But that was not all the crowd that came out. Six thousand more tramped through Midway Plaisance to see the Arabs in their voluminous robes of I ” p rail*-HAMMER IN TRANSPORTATION BUILDING. bright calico and the people from Java, who are putting up hotises, woven like the baskets that Delaware peaches and Indiana eantaleups come in later in the season. No charge Is made to get in Midway. The 6,000 people who strutted by the Columbian guard at Sixtieth street and Cottage Grove avenue stopped when they got down at the other end, where the turnstiles were elicking a lively tune. There is no occasion whatever for worry about the World’s Fair not being

fl SCENE IN ONE OF THE ART PALACE GALLERIES.

ready to open on May 1. A big conflagration or a severe earthquake might prevent, but nothing else that can be anticipated will be likely to interfere. There has been so much doubt on this point that it has been necessary to assure the public from time to time that everything was In the best possible condition under the circumstances, and that doubtless all would be in readiness on the appointed day. Now, after another careful examination of everything and interviews with all the heads of departments on whom the opening actually depends. It is possible to assert that when the Fair opens on May 1 It will be in a far better condition than any world’s fair ever held. “I declare,” said Director General Davis recently, “that if the/ exhibitors will keep up the hurry that is now going on May Ist will find the Exposition nearer a complete whole than its most sanguine friend expected. There never yet was a World’s fair that was entirely ready on the day of its opening. I do not suppose any intelligent person expects that. But, in spite of unexpected hindrances, in spite of unforeseen opposition, we are ahead. Ido not wish to overstate the situation." And so it was with all others. Every man having control of any department that could in any way promote or impede the opening has staked his reputation for veracity and ability on the result, and nothing on the subject now remains to be said. On the Manufactures Building men are working day and night, stopping only for their meals. The exhibits are rapidly being placed, and everything is very satisfactory. The same may be said of the Transportation and Electricity Buildings, the Liberal Arts, the Agricultural and Mines and Mining Buildings, and of the various State and foreign buildings. Nobody connected with any of them has any time to waste in worrying, and there certainly seems no need for it. Armies of men are at work everywhere, exhibits are being rapidly placed and everybody says things are satisfactory. Machinery Hall presents the busiest

•cone on the grounds. It must be ready. A failure here would be disastrous, for without power to move the machinery in the other buildings the opening would not be at all successful. Men are at work day and night here, too, and when President Cleveland touches the button that starts things going on May 1 It is Suite safe to predict that Machinery [all will do the jrest There are to be 500 gates at the hundred different entrances at the Fair grounds, and they will be very handsome affairs ot wire netting, steal and iron. Each of them will be provided with a seif-registering automatic turnstile that will require tho attendance of but one man at each gate. Thia official will take the ticket, see that It is all right, drop it in an opening in the gatepost, and press a short lever that will at the same time “chop" the ticket and unlock the gate. Then the visitor presses against the turnstile and walks in, registering hie own admission. It

• will be very difficult for either gateman I or visitor to cheat this contrivance, for • if the number of mutilated tickets in the box does not correspond to the num- ; ber of admissions registered by the : turnstile the gateman will be held responsible for the difference, and there ■ is no possibility of any one’s passing through without his knowledge, as by a ’• simple motion of his hand he can lock 1 the gate and hold the crowd back as ; long as he pleases. It Is going to cost a whole lot of money to make and print the tickets for the “choppers’’ of these stiles to destroy. A beautiful design has been selected, and the paper will be made especially foi the purpose. At first thought this would seem to be money wasted, but the astute Board of Managers knows of the tendency people have to preserve such things as mementos, and estimates that a very large amount can be realized on the sale of tickets that will nevei be used. Expense of Attending the Fair* Answering the misrepresentations and falsehoods that have been circulated by the enemies of the Exposition, the following statement is complete and concise. It should be carefully consulted by those who expect to visit. Chicago during the summer: The Exposition will be opened for visitors on May 1. An abundance of drinkin* water, the best supplied to any great city in the world, will be provided free to all. The report that a charge would be made for drinking water probably arose from the fact that Hvgeia water can also be had by those who may desire it at 1 cent a glass. Ample provisions for seating will be made without charge. About 1,800 toilet rooms and closets will be located at convenient points In the buildings and about the grounds, and they will be absolutely free to the public. This Is as large a number In proportion to the estimated attendance as ever been provided in any exposition. In addition to these there will also be nearly an equal number of lavatories and toilet rooms of a costly and handsome character as exhibits, for the use of which a charge of s cents will be made. The admission fee of 80 cents will entitle the visitor to see and enter all the Exposition buildings, Inspect the exhibits, and in short, to see everything within the Exposition grounds, except the Esquimaux village and the reproduction of the Colorado cliff dwek

lings. For these, as well as for the special attractions on Midway Plaisance, a small fee win be charged. Imposition or extortion of any description will not be tolerated. Free medical and emergency hospital service is provided on the grounds by the Exposition management. The Bureau of Public Comfort will provide commodious free waiting rooms, including spacious ladles' parlor and toilet rooms in various parts of the grounds. H. N. Higinbotham, President. Fifteen Thousand Men at Work. According to the closest possible estimates, 15,000 men went to work at Jackson park Monday, an increase of over 1,100 over the strongest force that has been inside the gates since dedication. Director of Works Burnham was in a very comfortable frame of mind over the settlement of labor troubles and the subsequent Increased activity in all the construction and Installation Bi THE WORLD’S FATH GATE. I forces. “We have a full force in the department of works,” he said in answer to a query, “and are moving along all right. I should say we had 3,000 men of our own insides the labor employed by contractors on exposition work. That includes the landscape, installation, color and carpentry divisions. The contractors have all their old men back and a good many more besides. It would be hard to say without an actual count just how many men are at wogk inside the fence and on the plalsanae, but it is enough to make things move along at a lively pace."
