of the Board to regulate the traffic on the horse car railroads, so that passengers who pay fares might be provided with seats. It is in brief his opinion that the “No seat no fare” rule can only be enforced indirectly and approximately by them through ‘ sonable regulations as to the number of cars to be run.” This is not much, but it is some- thing and it now lies with the Board to exert all the power they do possess to re- strict the hideous overcrowding in these public vehicles. There has been a very sus- picious attitude preserved by almost every- body within whose reach lay the making of the needed change—Killian, who let his bill die; the Railroad Committee, that killéd it, and now Mr. Whitney, who withholds his precious opinion until all hope of thorough remedy through the Legislature is passed away. The horse car companies make enor- mous profits. The Herald at the Exhibition. It appears to be the general verdict of Philadelphia that the Hznaxp account of the ” ppening of the World’s Fair was the best and most complete of all the papers, foreign and domestic. We bow to this opinion, not alone because we suspected it our- selves, but because the Philadelphians are the best judges of what is most excellent in regard to their magnificent enterprise. It has been our pleasure to en- chant the Quaker City with a good story; but there is an immense constituency of Hzratp readers who do not live in Philadelphia whd are yet anxious to know what goes on there, as well as among ‘the rest of mankind.” But to the Philadelphians, and all who go to the Exhibition that may not have been born within a stone’s throw of Independence Hall, we have rendered another homage which is described else- where—namely, in showing the public at the Exhibition how the Hznaup tomes into the world through the medium of the Bullock press.

Should the State Department deem it proper to prefer this class of persons to missionaries, however amiable, or worthy schoolmasters, abroad, a joint res- olution of Congress would furnish the Secretary with a ready roster of respectable and qualiied gentlemen for service, The requirements of party would keep the Patronage of the salaried consulates intact, while filling the lesger posts with retirod army and navy officers would, doubtless, satisfy public opinion and commend ' itself to the judgment of our people, who would prefer having a countryman instead of a foreigner of local cast as their consul, RESULTS “Not to dwell on the fact ot semi-civilized rulers ap- Preciating slightly official parties when engaged in trade or complications of business matters, it may be said that respectable gentlemen of experionce, and trained men of the world, might relieve the State De- partment from unnecessary squabbles and often prevent public annoyances, of which the present case of the Greek girl and Consul at Salonica may turn out to be an illustration, A writer in the April number of the North American Review states, probably from the coo- sular manual, between 100 and 200 of our consular posts come within the description alluded to, TI cannot doubt that the direct and s.mple changes here suggested would be a proper and timely step for us at this junc- ture and would recommend Congress to give direct course to it in agreement with popular wish.” ASIATIC TURKEY, RAVAGIS OF THE PLAGUE AT ‘BAGDAD AND HILLAH.

INTENSE EXCITEMENT OF THE SPECTATORS The Banquet Given by Sir Edward Thornton Last Night. Putiapeyrnta, May 11, 1876, After the great crush of yesterday the Centennial | grounds appeared to have but few visitors to-day. The | main building and machinery department, | ‘as well as the grounds and the pavilions, looked com- paratively deserted, But such an impression conveyed | to the observer was created more by the contrast with | Yesterday than by the fact of any unexpected falling off in the number of applicants for admission, The at- tendance of visitors to-day furnishes a very fair standard of what it will be during tho Iter three months existence of tho Exhibition, It must be remembered that thousands of strangers | ana Philadelphians have suffered much fatigue during the opening ceremonial and naturally seek rest before again going through the ordeal of a visit either ta the large building or to Machinery Hall. At the hour your correspondent reached the building tho great engine was not started; the macuinery on exhibition was not in motion, On every side was heard the djd of preparation; carpenters working on the platforms, the fences, the flooring, and & hundred different operations necessary to H complete the different sections Engineers and their werkinen, with their assistants, were busy fitting together various parts of ail kinds of machinery, from the light, delicate sowing machine to the ponderous steam pump, It was rap, rap, clip, cap, chip, chip, al! day long. The notes of prep- aration heard in the great orchestra of industry were as varied and disagreeable in sound as the preliminary equeakings and tootings that preluded the burst cf mu- | sic which swellod under the magic baton of Theodore Thomas’ opening day. ‘Corliss’ engine may be regarded as the grand organ, tor all other whirrings, creakings, rattlings and hummings are dopendent for their volume of expression on the revolution of this gigantic flywheel.

Among them, however, is an extromely in- teresting collection of marine objects connected with the building and management of ships of all kinds and of alinations. The American manulactures and the machinery excel any on exhibition.

Please, | sir, give me copy of the Hxnatp printed on that 20,000 copies were printed and distributed, sending aw many people to homes and hotels thoroughly confounded with astonishment at a feat in journalismawhich they deemed that time, distance und expense would com- Dine to prevent. Altogether the issue of the Heratp in Philadelphia may be regarded as tho most important event that has occurred in connection with the open- } ing of the Exhibition, for it marks a distinctive step in | the path of progress. THE DISTINGUISHED VISITORS, Most of the distinguished persons who participated in the opening ceremonies of the International Expost- tion yesterday still remain in the city, but their inove- ments during the day havo been of a private character. President Grant and Secretary Fish, who are tho guests of Mr. George W. Childs, received calls during the morning and then went out to visit several frienas- This evening, at seven o'clock, the President and mem- bers of the Cabinct remaining in the city dined with Sir Edward Thornton, at St Georgo’s Hall.

SIR EDWARD THORNTON'S BANQUET. Sir Edward Thornton, Special Commissioner to the Cen- tenninl Exhibition from Great Britain, gave a grand dip- ner to-night at St. George's Hall, in this city. Thoro were 60 invitations issued. Tho room was tastefully decorated. At one end was a full length portrait of Queen Victoria; on either site the American and Britisti flags. The orchestra stand at the oppositeend of the room was protusely decorated with the ade of all nations those ot England and America being grace- fully intertwined. Among the most prominent of the guosts were Dom Pedro, resident Grant und Colonel Fred. D. Grant; Sceretaries Fish, Robeson, Chandler and Taft; Attorney Goneral Pierrepont; Chief Justice Waite; HEx-Speaker Ran- Blaine; G. W. Uhilds; Representatives Faulkner, dall and Kelly; Professors Baird and Henry; Sei Ferry oral Hawley, Presiaent of the Centennial Commission; Samuel Ward, of New York; Colonel itis genuine native work: Sweden sends specimens of machinery for working wood and a small loco- motive which has intricate and badly pro- tected machinery, but otherwise well put together; also a good but rougaly finished pumping apparatus, Belgium hasa fair exhibit of first class machinery, but this section is not ready for critical inspection, England makes a fine presentation and maintains her engineering rank. France is scarcely far enough advanced in her exhibition of machinery to warrant passing an opinion, bat, judging from what is scen, she holds her own. A vast and mysterious looking grouping of pipes, cylinders and columns are arranged along a tank in a scction devoted to the pumping apparatus, and which will shortly pour a great Niagara-like stream of water that will form a necessary part of the Exhibition. Fire engines, elaborately plated in bright ellver, are also on view, which attract the attention of rural firemen as the neatest thing on wheels in the building. A magnif- cent forged engine shaft, weighing over 50,000 pounds, lies along the floor, near a complicated little machine stamping the maker's name on cotton spools. A visitor can sit on a log under tho shadow of a mon- ster locomotive, and examine at leisure the delicate proportions of the latest style of racing shell that ts likely to grace the waters of Saratoga Lake or Schayikil) River during ‘the Centennial regattas. If anything could prove that the soldier is but «a mere machine it would be the inspection of the Brazilian arsoral, from whence the groat field pieces grin over tho ‘silken and ‘woollen cords that bara close approach by visitors of the tniantry and cavalry uniforms arranged over skele- ton forms like sentries on gaurd over the imperial park ofartillery. A magnificent cabinct, filled with the differ- ent kinds of iron,and other ores, also smail manufac- tured articles from the former motal, is a noticable feature of the great temple dedicated to Thor and Vulcan, Great trophies of railroad iron show to what extent and how readily we can “make track’ for our home or foreign lands, and there is a grand, if not handsome, display of cog wheels, bolts, nuts, washers, fish plates, angle irons, hooks and rods of all kinds, Carpet looms riso before the visitor's eyes and work as if by magic with warp and woof in his presence, Nervous individuals can suffer excruciating torture for a reasonable length of time watching a machine cut nails out of sheets of iron with a bark and a bite that sct the teeth on edge. Wherever the visitor turns in this hall ot wonders he sees something to interest him; fatigue is wholly forgotten, and he walks on and on until be bas seen everything. TRINTING OF THE ITRRALD. The most intoresting event of the day was the print. ing of the New York Hxnatp quadruple sheet on one of the two Bullock presses exbibited. An inscription on the press told that it was built expressly for the New York Heratp, Around the space it occupied eager crowds congregated all the morning discussing the pers fection of its inachinery and wondering what meant the busy movements of the engineer im charge and bis asi ints «as «they «tightened = this screw and loosened that one, or glanced criti- cally at every part of the great machine. Was it possibic that the Herat would be printed in tho Exhibition Hall? “Oh, certainty,’ said one; ‘but the news will be about a week old. They will send over the old type and just print off some copies to show how it’s done.” “Well, we will wait and seo,” seemed to be the general resolation. Presently, when ail was declared right and the excitement of expectation had risen among the people to tho highest piteb, the engineer touched the ever that tightended the belt against the driving pulley, aod the cylinders faced witn the stereotype plates be- gan to revoive and devour the broad, con- tinuous sheet of paper that was fed from tho great roll behind the press, First enme the razged end of white paper, stained and ink fred; then a faint 1m pression of type on the broad and regulorly cut sheet, Then a better impression, and, joliowimg it as fast as the revolving cylinders could turn on their shalt, came perfect Hxratps leaping from the press. “Whir!’* went the machinery, and before the onlookers could realize the fact a groat pile of sixtecn-page Hrratns, containing the latest and by far the fuliest and best account of the Centennial opening ceremonies of the day before, was being distributed to the astonished throng. Eager arms were outstretched for a copy of the Centennial Hxratp, and for fully half an bour at a stretch nothing coald be seen for over one bundred feet around but Hxatvs waving in the air as their owners endeavored to fold the immense sheet into something like portable shape, It was most amusing to sce ladies rush for the freshly printed Henatps, and they fairly outgencraled the men in grasping at a copy when the attendants extended their arma After a timo it became a hopeless task to hand cut single coptes, and cach individual nearest to the distributing points got about half a dozen, with which he retired, jollowed by eager applicants for a Heratp; thus the floor space, for a considerable distance around, became occupied by groups of visitors distribating, folding or reading tho paper, Several weil known faces appeared in the throng, among which that of Junge Gildersicove and the Goverpor of Connecticut could be seen, Every one seemed pleased and asten- ee ee as A. Scott; Hon, Elijah Ward, of New York; Ex- Governor Bigler and Ex-Mayor Fox. The Diplomatic Corps was reprosented by those serving as Commis- sioners from their respective governments, and British Consul Archibald, ‘tho President and the more prominent guests, with Sir Edward and Dom Pedro, wore at the head of the principal table. The three tables, handsomely deco- rated with flowers, extended the entire length of the pall, After tho dinner was over Sir Edward alluded to the President, twice elected, as having presided over the ceremony of inauguration yesterday, and spoke of England’s having contributed her mite to the Exposi- tion, There was only a rivalry in arts of peace between the two countries never to be forgotten. He wished the company to drink the healtb of the President of the United States. ‘This was done, and the band played tho “Star Span- glod Banner,” amid the applause of the assembled uests, ‘ The President then thanked Sir Edward for the kind allusion to his countrymen: He knew of no better reply tuan to ask them alltodrink the health of Her Majesty the Quecn. This was done while the orchestra played the national air of Englasd.

Havana, May 11, 1876, ‘A decree has been issued declaring that the claims made by foreigners residing in the island and by some of their consuls to exemption from the extraordinary contributions are founded in error. All foreigners under the protection of the government must pay, like Spanish subjects, the taxes levied in aceérdance with articles 33 and 34 of the act relating to strangers passed by the Cortes m 1870. THR SPANISH OFPICIAL ARGUMENT, The contributions imposed in this island cannot be said to be for war. The pursuit and punishment of in- cendiaries, principally negroes who have no army in our territory, is not war, The treaties between Spain and other countries oxempt foreign residents from the confiscation of their vessels, the forced occupation of landed property and personal mihtary duty, but not from taxes and contributions rondered necessary for the protection of the property of all against incondiaried and plunderers, ‘Therefore all municipalities must proceed against foreigners who refuse to pay such taxes, GERMAN INTERESTS. This deerce is understood to be principally directed against Germans, who claim exemption ander a treaty betwoen Germany and Spain. HOTEL ARRIVALS.
