two valuable paintings for theexhibit. .
One of three pictures Is n work which has
never been shown In the United States , and

raised to Its exhibition
a tiU.m of objections was
hibition that It was removed-and has been
etored In New York City since that time.
The picture Ut called "The Fall of lUbylon , "
and depl-tH a scene at the famous feast of

JSO.OOO
The famous painting was brought over
from tin- continent by Mr arlillth In 1S7S.
and was exhibited In Toronto under the
auspices of a local art association Its ex
hlbltlon caused a great ruction mong the
director ? of the < ujoclatlon , and one of th
director leelKtnd In anger after unsuccess
fully endeavoring to prevent the display of
the picture. The gcr.sra ! public took up
the dlacusflon , and U finally became neccu-
wry to close the exhibition on account of the
adverse critic-Urn Since tlm tlmr public
opinion has changed somewhat und .Mr Grif
fith anticipates that no , erious , objections will
be made to 'he picture , which he regards nn

The executive committee of the exposition
held a mtetlnir. . ut the Cummercl.il club
rooms jesterday to take up the ques
tion of trackage facilities on the exposition
grounds In addition to the report made
yesterday by Mr. Roscwater a telegram was
received from Manager Babcock to the effect
that whenever the Missouri 1'aclllc presented
a contract drawn In accordance with the un
derstanding had between himself and the
lilt-sour ! Pacific officials the contract should
be executed
The contract which had. up to this time ,
never been before the committee , was pre
sented , together with a letter relating to It.
from C. S Montgomery , general counsel f'-.r
the exposition. Mr Montgomery stattd
that , a-i drawn , the contract gives the Ml.s-
souri Pacific exclusive control over the tracks
Inside the exposition grounds and gave the
exposition no control whatever over the
tracks or the handling of cars on the tracks ?
Secretary Wakefield , In glancing over the
contract , read one section for the Informa
tion of the committee In wh ch I'vas pro
vided that the Missouri Pacific should have
the right to use the tracks Inside the ex
position grounds for the use ot Itself or Its
patrons "whenever , in the opinion
of the super ntendert of the
( Missouri Pacific road such Uoe
would not Interefere with the use or such
tracks for exposition purposes " This clause
seemed to bo rather surprising to the mem
bers of the eieciitlve committee and to throw
more light on the letter of the torporatlon
counsel. Considerable discussion ensued as
to how the Interest * ot the exposition were
to be protected In the absence of an ex
perienced railroad man on the committee
It was finally decided to call upon Commis
sioner Ctt of ihp CommcicUl club for as
sistance and the whole matter was turned
over to him for examination. The question
, wlll be taken up at a later date.
It xvas decided that the piopcxltloii sub
mitted by Commissioner Powell of Mexico
whereby It was proposed to secure the at
tendance of the Mexican National Mllii.it }
band at the exposition on condition that the
Ofexlcan government makes an exhibit w it.

which the local dealers will charge will
depend altogether on the rates that they are

It Is u.-ually the practice of the railroads
to fix the rates on hard co.il early In August ,

practically refused to haul coal for com

they have been hoarding agalnot the pos
sibility of an extension of the strike to the
western mines. In fact , the local dealeix
are now having a goad deal of difficulty in
obtaining cars for steam ccal feufficlent to
diipplj their regular trade
It Is the unanimous opinion of the dcalerb
that the titrike will In no way affect the ,
prleo of bird coal. The season's supply of
anlhraclco was mined and on th * docks bc-
furo the strike begun , and the effect of the
suspension of the minci , has been confined to

The police express themselves ns much
dtedatlsDed with the disposition made by
the council last Tuesday night of the ordl-
inrico Introduced by Conncllnmn l.obeck ,
abolishing the wine rooms In the city. The
ordinance was referred to the city attor
ney , because some of the members of the
council seem to be ot the opinion that the
etntutes make the existence of wine rooma
Illegal.
The police assert that there Is no statute
or city ordinance In existence which nbol-
IshtB wine rooms. Police Judge Gordon Is
appatently of the same oplnlcn. for he has
discharged the men and women who have
betii arrested out of the places
The police maintain that they are unnble
to suppress the wine room evil under ptcs-
cnt conditions. Because Police Judge Gordon
will not nbslst them. A dozen men and
women have been arrested out of wine rooms
since Ma > or Mnorts Untied his orders to
raid the plncws and arrtst the occupant * .
Of the number , two pleaded guilty and
vvcro lined , but the others were dschargJ. !
Pcllco Judge Gordon holds that so long
as the wine rooms are allowed , men and
women found In them are not guilty of any
offense If they are behaving themselves.
He has decided that women have BK much
right to drink beer and smoke cigarettes
In thr e places rs men. In a recent case
the evidence showed that a woman was In
a wine room with a man , was drinking nnd
was smoklns ; a cigarette. The case resulted
lu a dismissal.

dnd A. H. Steea of the Union Pacific.
These two men allege tint laat Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock they were passing
Harold's saloon with a couple of dogs In tow.
These animals got after a cat and chased It
down trv street. The cut belonged to a
crowd of half a dozen alleged hoodlums who
were hanging nbout the saloon. These men
held Stees and Lampmann responsible for
the actions ot theli dogs and set upon them.
To get away , the two went Into Haloid's
aalonn and pin chafed a glass of wine apiece
As a result of this story , the police jes-
terday caused the Information of sellIng -
Ing liquor on Sunday to be filed against the
saloon ke-eptr. Stoes aim Lampmann , how
ever , told the btory with another put peso In
view They wanted the police to recover for
them a hat and a revolver which they lost
