WORLD’S FAIR MATTERS. .
in... Eight Hour Work Day Adopted-
The Foreign Commission organized.
CBICAGO, July 2. ——It has been definitely
decided that eight hours will make a full
day’I_ work on the World’s fair. The con-
oessions granted to the Exhibition com-m,
puny by the legislature of the state and
the council of the city have all been based
upon the clear understanding that the
eight hour law should be carried Out.
When a short time- ago a special com-
mittee of investigation, sent to the World’s
fair site for the purpose by three carpen-
ters’ unions, found that men were being
worked ten hours a. day instead of eight,
by the contractors erecting the temporary
hospital and other constructions, they dis«
patched a delegation to the next meeting
~ of the board of directors. The matter was
referred to the ground and building com-
mittee, which has reported back that the
eight hour rule must be strictly follOwed.
The special commission to visit the prin-
cipal cities and manufacturing and art
centers of Europe ii the interest of the
Colombian exhibition has been formally
organized. It will be entitled the “N a-
tional Commission to Europe’ Messrs.
Butterwcrt11,Haudy and Peck will sail
from New York on July 9, and Messrs.‘
Waller and Eustis will probably follow on
I later steamer.
BLAINE HAD A BAD TURN..
no Recovered 710m It. but Is Evidently
:1 Sick Man.
BAR HARBOR, Me. ., July 2. —Ab0ut 8
o'clock Tuesday evening a messenger from
the Blaine household called at the office of
the village physician, and together they
hastened to “Stanwood, ” Mr. Blaine’s
residence. The piazza, which an hour be-
fore had been crowded with friends of the
family, was entirely vacated.
Everything portended that the secretary:
of state had had a bad turn. He dined be-
tween 6 and 7 o c’lock. A reporter learnedi
that the attack was not very severe, but it
alarmed his family. Wednesday morning
he was a great deal better, and as the day
progressed he seemed to recover.
, Mr. Blaine is thin and sallow, and suf-
fers from nervous prostration. His voice
has lost strength, and he easily becomes
hoarse and coughs frequently.
It is hard to get him to take the rest that
he needs. He- is an indefatigable Worker.

The stock market was fairly active this moi-n-

in the early dealings this morning. St. Paul,
Louisville and Nashville, and a few others
vmre purchased quite freely by London parties;
but as the morning advanced the strength died
out under a considerable selling to realize.
This, together with the announcement that
2,1100, 000 more gold had been engaged for ex-
p017, caused a momentary weakness, but
110-1 1111 11 o clock everything was on the r

“LONDON, July" 2.4-A dispatclf to The
Standa'rdfromTBangko'k, ‘Siam, 'sh'ys' that
French troops have occupied the province
of Luangf .Prngang, east of- the Me-Kong,
river, hitherto a vassal state o'fSiam. The.
local French press has persistently urged
that the whole M_ej- -Kon‘g valley belongs
rightfully to the kingdom of Annam and
Cambodia. .. ,.
The Standard supposes that the occu-
pation of Luang Prabang is a prelude to
'an eventual attempt by France to annex
Siam, with the object possibly of assisting _
“Such I '
Russian designs in eastern Asia..-
project,” says The Standard, “is certain to
involve antagonism on the part of China.
Should the project succeed it would bring
French Siam into proximity with British
’Burmah. In the present temper of France
'11“. behooves England to be vigilant.”
~ France Declines to Sign. '
A dispatch from Paris says that France
has declined to sign arenewal of the North
Sea convention to prevent ‘illicit traffic-in
alcohol among fishermen. This, combined
with France’s attitude toward the Brus-
sels convention, is regarded as a retort to
England’s attitude toward the dreibund
and is likely to impede a settlement of the
Newfoundland question.
The same dispatch states that The
Temps, in commenting on the renewal of
the dreibund, declares that England’s un-
dertaking to protect Italy from a French
attack is not needed, because such an at
ance of power in the Mediterranean with-
, out favoring any individual power.
They Overreach Themselves. _
S'l'. Psrnnsnono July 2. —The Novoe
Vremya, in commenting 0n the renewal
of the triple alliance, says that unless
France and Russia reply to this treaty by
concluding a formal alliance the central
'poWers of EurOpe' will become too centi-
-dent as to the impotency of their adversa—
ties to enable the latter to counteract
their ambitious desires, and they will con-
sequently bring about events which will
render a European war inevitable.
Going for the Germans Now. '
LONDON; July 2. -—The Odessa correspond-
Kieff, Podolia and Volhynia have issued a
decree that all foreigners must become,
naturalised citizens or leave the country,
and that foreigners who become Russian
domiciles for an unbroken peri of ten
years. The decree is aimed at the popu~
lo'us German colonies adjacent to the Aus-
trian frontier.
No National Bishops.
ROME, July 2.-—-The pope has written to
Cardinal Gibbons that he will never con-
cede the demands of Herr Cahensly on be-
half of the St. Raphael societies for the
protection of Catholic emigrants in so far
as the appointment o'f national bishops is
concerned.
The pope has also refused the petition
of the Poles in the United States for the
appointment of a Polish bishop.
