OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. OPENING THE EXPOSITION, Program of Exercises—Pians of the Chicago Directors. Cacao, April 28—The executive commit- tee of the local directory of the world’s fair held an important and protracted session last evening, at which resolutions were adopted which mean practically a flat renunciation of congressional control. The eubject under consideration was the re- cent act of Congress instructing the Secretary of the Treasury to withhold enough of the Co- lumbian half dollars to secure the payment of €570,880 for awards, A joint committee of the finance and legisla- tive committees made a lengthly report, which, after considerable discussion, was adopted unanimously. It seta forth the ac- tions of the directors in pledging to the holders of the debenture bonds the property and revenues of the corpora- tion, the committee would regard'it asadirect and inexcusable violation of the pledges and covenants with the bondholders to enter into the formal undertaking which the late act of congress requires. “The requirement of this act,” says the committee. “is a serious impairment of our resources and incomprehensible, and in the Judgment of our committee is violation of the conditions of the act of August 5, 1892, accepted by the directors.” It appears clear to the committeo in view of the pledges made to the holders of the $500,000 000 of-bonds that no such security as required by Congress should be farnished.

As yet no official order of precedence has been decided upon, that matter being left to the development of further information upon the requirements of such a situation. The procession to the grounds it has been decided to limit strictly to the presidential and ducal parties, with their official world’s fair and military escort. There will be massing of Jong lines of paraders, RETURN TO WASHINGTON. The President, it has been arranged, will leave for Washington at midnight Monday , after an exclusive dinner party. The matter of special days is also to be in- cluded in the committee's report, and in addi- tion to these already fixed applications are now in for enough for 100. Upon these special days it has been considered advisable, it possible, to have evening illuminations, but no determination bas been reached, though it is probable that the exposition management and the holders of the special dates wili agree and co-opcrate in the matter later. ‘The committee is inclined to think that suitable pyrotechnic displays during the season would add $2,000,000 to the receipts. A WOMAN'S DaILy, Yesterday's session of the board of lady managers was occupied by the reading of re- ports. Mra. Lockwood, chairman of the press. com- mittce, informed the board that, notwithstand- ing the adverse decision of the ways and means committee, there would be ly newspaper published during the exposition which would meet all the wishes of the lady managers. Mrs. Cora Bailey, a wealthy New York lady, had agreed to undertake the expense of the publication, having $130,009 capital to further the enterprise. ‘The name of the paper is yet to be announced, and it will have to be printed outside of the grounds. The labor of women will be employed as far as possible in getting out the publication New Yous, April 28.—The Duke De Veragua left this city for Chicago this morning, accom- panied by Commander Dickins. Seen HOW GLADSTONE WAS SAVED. He Reminded the Man Who Lay in Walt of His Own Father. Loxpox, April 28.—The Pall Mall Gazette states that on the day that the Irish home rule bill was passed to a second reading Wm. ‘Townsend, the man under arrest on the nominal charge of having dis- charged » revolver unlawfully in a public place, but really on suspicion of having in- tended to assassinate Mr. Gladstone, lay in wait for Mr. Gladstone's departure from his resi- dence with the full purpose of murdering the premier. Townsend was armed with a loaded revolver and was deliberately prepared to shoot Mr. Gladstone as soon as he came within zeach. When Mr. Gladstone came out of his resi- dence and the would-be assassin saw him his urpose weakened, for the peculiar reason t the venerable appearance of the premier reminded Townsend of his own father’s appearance on his death bed. ‘The pistol slipped from the fingers of the intending assassin, and he rushed into the park and sank on a bench and burst into tears, It is asserted that Townsend made his way into the central hall of the house of commons on the samo night and vigorously denounced the home rule biil. pris ee THE SONG OF THE BELL, It is Sung by the Children of Indianapolis in ‘Welcoming “Old Liberty.” Inptaxarouis, Ixp., April 28.—Today was children’s day and 12,000 of them, each carry- ing an American flag, not a few with the starry emblems wrapped about them, was « «ight as inspiring as it was rare. The children all knew the story of liberty bell, as for a fortnight the teachers have been telling them its history. ‘The train bearing the liberty bell arrived from Columbus, Ohio, at 6 o'clock. When the eastern edge of the city was reached the city's Dells rang out and a salute of thirteen guns was fired by the Indianapolis Light Artillery. ‘The committee on arrangements escorted the bell’s escort of forty-five, incl: Mayor Stuart of Philadelphia, to the where many thousand citizens were Here IN WALL STREET TODAY. Reorganisation of the Reading Helps ‘That Stock. New Your, April 28.—Secretary Carlisle's conference with the New York bankers yes- ferday and the progress made look- ing to the reorganization of the Read- ing created quite s bullish feeling in stocks this morning. There was a minia- tare boom in Reading, 8,002 shares of the stock traded in at the opening at 30 and 2% On Wednesday the stock closed at 26. ‘The bonds of the company were all in urgent request. The general list moved up 3¢al}¢ per cent all along the line. The only weak spot on the list was distilling and cattle, which broke to 225{ against 26 on Wednesday. Internal dissensions, fears that the bond issue will be protested by stockholders and lack of confidence are operating against the stock. The stock market continued strong for a time after the opening, Manhattan rising 2 to 149; Lackawanna, 1 to 145; Lake Shore, 1 to Lonisville and Nashville to 7434; New Eng- land, 134 to $25; American cotton oil, 1% to 49, and United States rubber, 1 to 60. ‘Toledo and Ann Arbor continues heavy on the Ashley developments, and the stock fell $ to 14%.

They Profess Themselves Satisfied With Secretary Carlisle's Statement. New York, April 28.—Great satisfaction was expressed in financial circles this morning at the result of the conference yesterday evening between New York bankers and Mr. Carlisie, Secretary of tho Treasury, and Wall street quickly showed that it appreciated the clear and explicit statement to the bankers. Although no action was taken at the confer- ence it established unmistakably in the minds of the bankers, as all admitted this morning, that the government was determined to maintain the parity between gold and silver; that the Secretary thoroughly understood the situation, and that the stories that there Was friction between the Secretary and the bankers of New York were absolutely without foundation. ——ee ENGLISH PROBABLY WINS.
