HIO world nnu overi body knows they are

harncau tinned the building over to Gov-

crcmonlcs and the parade vvcro magnill-
extreme. Nothing more could

I ho unnv oidablo delay of Congressman Bryan ,
( ho orator of the nay , who was caught in an
ccidcnt to his train. But It turned out
ftcr there was oratory enough and plenty

With it Illaro of Trumpet * .
A band from the Wild West show on the
front platform maintained the enthusi.im
| among 15,000 people gathered in the space
' about the front of the building for half an
hour. At 11:30 n greater blare of brass
ga\o notice of the coming cavalcade , and
In a few moments the gates of
the Flf'/y-sovcnth street entrance were
[ swung to and the biggest show on caith
1 outside of tlio World's exposition grounds ,
{ preceded by the Wild West b mil , marched
kdown the macadam wnlkand dicvv up in the
liquarowlth no special regaid to form ox-

Lho mounted wariiors of every lighting

J A few moments later the governor nnd the
Ifllclal party were driven through the lines
1 hero were more cheers ns they alighted at
lie steps of the Htato building and moved up
no stall vvav , while a dozen Columbian
1-ards kept the surglmr crowd far enough
lyart to admit them.
T After the strains of "America" had sub-
jded Commissioner General Joseph Gar-
lean took his place on the platform in a
livv words he delivered the building to

Drowned Out by n Hand ,
Before the governor had spoken fifty words
the band of Prussian culrasslois from the
German village , all In spotless whtto mil-
forms , their white plumes wavimr prettily
in the bree/e , hove in sight , limy had been
sent by A. B Hchmid , the prouiletor of the
\ lllago , to set cnade the p irtj on the plntfoi m ,
but there was some misunderstanding ns to
their pi ice on the platform. On they came.
the leader swlnginc his biton energetically
and the wind Instruments belching forth
their compliments until the gubcinatorlal
speech was drowned in the btassy din.
Gov ei nor Crounso ceased until the
cuirassiers , drawn up before him , concluded
their selections. When ho had concluded
thcro was Immense cheering and hat waving.
I'limni In Happy Mood.
The commissioner general tnen Introduced
ox-Governor Hobert Fuinas , who looked
happy , with his face all smiles. Iho gover
nor began vv Ith the confession that ho was
utterly astounded about the exposition Like
the little Methodist girl w ho vv anted to thank
the Lord for her numerous good things , lie
didn't know where to begin nor where to
leave off Like the Englishman who visited
Omaha and who was dazzled bi the extent
and beauties of Nebraska , he was "con f us-
ingly confounded" Ho refeircd to
the accident that precluded the
the attendance of Congressman Brjan , the
otator of the occasion , whoso plico ho hid
been asked to fill All Goveinor Fmiins
( ouldsiywas'Go : and see it all iouisclf , ,
learn it and treasure it up In jour memory ,
for you may learn more in a day than jou
could In a > car's travel' '
i'ho speaker referred to the fact that ttio
governor had not f > poken of the lack of suf-
llcicnt funds to make a great display , but
ho ( Governor Furnas ) should not
leave the subject in the bacltgiound
But if Nebraska was not too handsomely
represented bo .v iclded to no state In crea-
tnon in his exultation over tlio natural
products of Nebraska There was Colonel
Murphy hero on the stand who h id been in
troducing our corn In Europe , for Nebraska
had the credit of Hist introducing that
cereal in the Orient.
In.conclusion the spoiker slid : "Come
to our state and jou will llnd moro
bushels of corn to the acre ,
and moro pounds to the bushel ;
jou will find the fattest cattle and the most
nourishing homes ; the prettiest women and
the sweetest babies in creation , " [ Great
laughter and applause. ]
Head tlio sod House Poem.
Then the little German band furnished an
other contribution , loft faced und moved
aw ay.
Mrs HenrjFisko of Chicago was now in
duced to read an oilgmal poem wiittuli for
the occasion by Mrs Ivate McClearj- Hubbell -
bell , Neb , who was also present on
the platform It Is entitled "Nebraska , "
and deals in homolj- dialect with the vicis
situdes of an eailv day fanner who dwelt
with a famllj of eleven in a sod houso. It
caught the chcciy crowd , and there was
moro applause.
At 11-50 n. m the exercises were con-
cluacd , nil but another selection 'from the
band Colonel Codj- , Governor * Fur
nas and the party retlicd , while
the band plajed , to Commissioner Garneau's
private olllce , and a toast to Nebraska vv as
quaffed.
Thou Canto the Parade.
As the clock In the tower of the Michigan
building tolled 1" the
, party en
tered their cairiagcs nnd Colonel
Cody proceeded to marshal the procession.
First came the Wild West cowboy band on
foot , twenty stiong , and then a troop of
fifty United States cavalrvmcn in How ing
j el low jilumes , forming the escort to the
governor's party.
Following the troopers came two car
riages. 'Iho' llrst was Governor Crounso ,
ox-Govornor Furniis.Commissioner Gnrnoau
and Commissioner Mobley. In No. 2 vvcro
Major John M Burkcalde-de-camp to Colonel
Cody and gcnoial manager of Buffalo Bill's

day ho over saw Then there weio
Chief Hain-in-thc-Faco , Curlcj' , the

Decision of the United States Court in the
World's ' Fair Case.
DIFFERENT VIEWS HELD BY THE JUDGES
A\ldrly DinVrrnt 1'ofltlmn Taken by Kuril ,
Hut Two I'uvor UlnsliiR tlin ( 'nitcs-
.ludgo ( Ironiciip'ii Dlinentlnir Opinion
An Appeal lias llccii Taken.
Ciiicxno , 111 , Juno 8 Judges Woods and
Jen It In s of the federal bench ordered today
that nn injunction be issued restraining the
ofllclals of the World's fair from opening the
gates of Jackson park on Sunday. Judge
Giosscup dissented and in his lliidlng recom
mended' that the injunction bo not granted.
For the Hist time , probibly in the history
of the United States district courts , n bci.ch
of three Judges failed to atrlvo at n majority
finding , each ot the two Judccs who granted I
tin Injunction t iking action on widely dif-
fetent grounds nnd the dissenting Judge dif
fering radically fiom both. Prominent
lavvjcrs and citizens crowded the federal
( ourt ' room today when Judges Woods , Jen-
kins nnd Orosscup lllcd slowly up to the
bench. Judge Woods spoke Hist and said
that the court would piss upon the motion
for an injunction made by tlio United States
against the World's Columbian Exposition
company ] to compel it to .closo the gates on
Sunday. Ho announced that his nssoci ites
entertained different views on certain points
nnd that each Judge would formulate nis
ideas in nn individual opinion.
Jiid | ; < > Wood * ' Opinion ,
The jurist then read his own opinion , in
which ho concluded that Jackson park was
lawfully devoted to exposition puiposes ,
nnd tiint the injunction should bo giantod as
piajcdfor Ho found that the exposition
had been , In fact , tuined over to the control
of the federal govcinment by the local cor
poration , and that its control was theioforo
as absolute ub its contiol of tno fcduial
building In which he was speaking Ilo
held tli.it the bundaj closing condition and
the bouvenir coin grant did not constitute a
conti.ict , and thofauiiday rule having been
passed by the directory and ap-
piovcd by the national commission , the
diicctory had no authotity to leconsldnr it.
He held that congicss had a pel feet right to
withhold that poition of the souvenir coins
which it retained , and that the people had
no right of entry into the jnik because they
hid handed the govcinance of entrj over to
the fcjlur.il authority when they \otcd the
issue of $5,000,000 bonds for the put pose of the
exposition. Ho also held that congress did
not limit the amount of money to bo expended
on the fair , but that the local coiporation
was liable for overj dollai of it. He found
that because the exposition had been
tendered to and accepted bj the government ,
thcrclore the govcinment had n st-indiue In
equity. So far as the case befoio Judge
Stein la couceined he held that it was no
bir to the pioccedings , because "it is
inadmissible to say that the government
must in comity j ield to tlio state court to
take biieh control as would cover even the
existence of the enterprise "
Judge Jcnkliu' VIcwi.
Judge Jenkins , after reciting nil the early
history of the fair , took the ground that the
government had only n qualified possession
of the exposition , but said that tl o case did
not hinge on that question. Ho held that
the Sundnj closing condition wns not a ques
tion of creed or religious belief , but n
matter of scientific icseaich ; that man
required ono day in tbo vveok for
rest nnd this has been recognised by the
United States almost ever since its forma
tion. Ho claimed that the icsolutions of
the directory to pay biek the money ro-
ccived out of the souvenir appropriation was
no tender at all aril denied that the state
court had any right whatever to take Juris
diction of the case brought for an injunction
tocompcllho diicctory to open theJairon
Sunday. Ilo concluded by rccomendiffg that
the injunction should issue.
I'nsttlon Taken by Judge Gros cup.
Judge Grosscup s lid that the commis
sioners had Juusdiction over 'ho exhibits ,
the awarding of prl/cs nnd also a right to
mod if j but not to make rules. Ho did not
look upon the S BOO.OOO or any of the dona
tions as gifts , but as a contract between
the United States and the local corporation
If the commission had charge of the exposi
tion ns claimed , it was tbo first instance In
which ho had ever known of the donor mak
ing himself a donation. In his opinion the
national govoinmcnt gave the monoj for the
purpose of protecting its national honor , and
tn his opinion it was a contract for that pur
pose.
By the net of March , 189 , ? , the government
decided to ssizo a portion of the donation
and the act could bo consti ued only ns an un-
justitlablo withholding of the appropriation.
Bv its terms the corporation was under no
obligation to catry out its provision. The
judge did not believe that the coiporatlou
was to bo held to have accepted the contract
by its acceptance of the monoy. It did not
know of the construction which was put
upon the net and was not in a position to
make nn election. The plea of estoppel
could not bo maintained when thu patty
who brought the pica was responsible for
the nets that led up to the making of the
plea. On these grounds ho disagreed from
the conclusions of the other judges.
Ttutlco or Appeal ( liven
Attorney Walker said that the defendant
corporation desired to appeal from the dc-
cico. Ho asked that the court accept a bond
to operate ns n buporsedus , thu appeal to bo
lieaul in the appellate court. Thciawns
danger of n conflict of jurisdiction botwcon
the si'ito and fedcial com is nnd this was all
the moro reason that un appeal should bo
granted.
Tomorrow morning was set for hearing
Walker on tbo motion.
President Higginbothnm declined to ex
press any opinion nt present , ns did also
Director General Davis.
President Palmer of the national commis
sion said "I don't think there Is nnj thing to
bp said now. No doubt the openers vv ill ap
peal. The decision , I admit , is a surprise , "
Vlco President Do Young of the national
commission , said * "Tho opinion is a sur-
prlso to me The government could make no
law affecting Sunday closing in the state of
Illinois , and in recognition of that fact made
a contiact piohlbitlng opening on the
Sunday contingent on a money lo.ui. It
broke Its part of the contract , and by the
common rnlo of business when onu member
to a contiaut breaks his pirt thu other ,
member lias the right to do likewise.
