The committee listened to his remarks, but refused to reconsider It former action. A formal motion was then passed expressing the sentiment of the committee to carry out the plans for the festival. Director Gescral Noyes was instructed to push preparations along every line of construction. It was decided to hold ially meetlngsof the executive ace finance committees. It um or a of Kealnoa tlona.

After the meeting had adjourned it was rumored that John Barton Payne and five other members of the general committee bad resigned because of Mr. Truax's retirement. The reports could not be confirmed, however, and the officials of the festival denied that any resignations bad been received. The labor people took no action yesterday on the resignation of Chairman Truax. There will be a conference this afternoon, at which it is expected that formal action will be taken declaring the situation satisfactory as to the corner-stone celebration.

Attorney O'Donnell of the arbitration committee expressed the opinion that a settlement of all existing disputes would be made. He believes the labor unions will be willing to waive all other considerations if a union-cut cornerstone Is laid. It is believed they will even withdraw the demand formerly made that the festival and Federal committees adopt resolutions repudiating the bribery charges made against representatives of organized labor. The Federal corner-stone committee held its regular meeting in the office of Marshal Amer last night. The sentiment expressed by members of the committee was that there is every Indication of a settlement of the labor difficulties today.

The committee occupied itself last night principally with the routine matters to the ceremonies of Chicago day. ESCORT COMMITTEE DELAYED. H. Hubert a ad Geo rare Cook Will Meet Mrilrss Party la Texaa. The special escort committee, appoiuti'l by the Federal committee to meet Vice President Murisva1 and other prominent Mexican officials, has net yet left Chicago, though toe special train was scheduled to start from the Polk street depot early yesterday morning.

The change in the plans of the committee Is due to a telegram received late Tuesday right by Chairman C. U. Gordon from Senor Muri-oal. In this message it was announced that Vice President Mariscal and the other officials will leave the City of Mexico at 9 o'ejock Saturday night, going direct to Eagle Pass. Texas; In i he Presidential ears.

It was requested that the Chicago committee meat the other party at fcagle Pass and accompany It to Chicago. If W. B. Roberts and George Cc.ck had left at the scheduled they would probably have passed the Mexican party in the South, and arrived in theCky of Mexico after the others had gene. I'nder the present arrangements the Governor of Texas will probably be the first official to sreft the Mexican party, though th Chicago delegation will go to Eagle Pass as soon as risible.

Postmaster" Gordon telegraphed for the names of the officials who will leave Mexico. It is thought the Chicago oct on commute will be enlarged.

Special Dispatch to The later Oeeaas. WASHINGTON. D. a. Sept.27.

The President was notified today that Chairman Tnni had resigned, and that the union-labor mei of Chicago would withdraw alt objections to the corner-stone ot '-he Chicago postoffice. This was welcome news to the President, and ha now. expects be la Chicago from Satur day bight. 7. until the next.

Tuesday; te assist In the corner-stone ceremonies. President McKinley and members of his Cabinet have been mucfo provoked over the situation which has confronted them for two weeks. They had accepted invitations Chicago for a specific event, and yet Chicago men, claiming to be authorised to speak for the city, have been trying to make Insignificant that event or cause it to be abandoned In their effort to glorify themselves in connection with the fall festival. Inasmuch as the President has not been invited to the fall festival, these efforts have not only beea very annoying, but they have almost convinced some of the President's friends that Chicago people were willing to humiliate the Chief Executive of the Nation in order to exaggerate the Importance of a few men who called themselves the general committee. Under such conditions the President was ready to abandon his visit to Chicago, and all the time for his Western trip to other cities, but with Chairman Truax out of the way, and organised labor ready to unite with the President In laying the corner-stone, be will adhere to the original programme, an-i spend several days la Chicago.

STEVENS OPENING. Many Faahtonabie Admire Mate. Itrnand Creation. There seems to be a feeling among fashionably attired women of Chicago that they cannot afford to miss a Stevens' opening. Apparently one-half of Chicago ultra society visited their opening yesterday and no doubt the other half will be in evidence today.

There is something unique In a Stevens opening that forcibly appeals to women. An uninitiated person would have thought yesterday that a much-talked of musical was in progress. or a fashionable reception. Once Inside the attractive store one was swept along with the very force of admiring adjectives, of swishing silken gowns and enthusiastic stmilies to the second floor; and the second oor at Stevens' this year defies description. It Is a feminine sanctuary, of which one must speak In bated breath, the home of hats, and the kind ot head gear a achorleirl dreams of one day possessing, and of which women of the gay world don with reverent fingers.

The department is tasteiui-ly decorated with American beautieB, trailing ferns, and abundant palms. The soft carpets, tasteful draperies, and mellow light enhancing the beauty of wonderful plumes, rare aigrettes, satins, and bits of costly lace intermingle with rich fur. Not to have a touch of fur on one's toque this year argues a woman entirely outside of the world of fash-Ion It blends so well with the mode shades so much the vogue. Mme. Renaud, who has brought so much satisfaction to the patrons of the Is well known.

With her trips every three weeks to New York and her semi-annual pilgrimages to Paris she fills the great store with creations of art and beauty. It is here one looks for exclusive styles, for materials one does not see elsewhere, and for ornaments worthy of a resting place in the colflure of a queen. There is Just one creation that Insists its image on the feminine mind, to the exclusion of all others, and It Is one of Mme. Renaud's own. It Is black, of course.

A directoire poke bonnet, faced with folds of mousllne de sole; two magnificent white feathers are held In place from the front with a. diamond sunburst, and this creation bears the modest price mark of $50. The gowns at Stevens' are draped in all their glory on unappreciative dummies, in little inclosures on the fourth floor, where, in a flood of electric light, they beckon and lead on the fair shoppers.

Sept. 27. The International Congregational council Is still Hired up over the attack of President Hyde of Bowdoln college last Monday on the "failure of the theological seminaries to properly prepare men for the ministry." somewhat vehement reply last evening of President Fair bairn of Oxford was followed this morning by a similar reply from Professor Moore of Andover, who proposed to prepare a paper for a future council on "The aFilure of the Universities to Prepare Men Properly for Theological Schools." "If the seminaries are such back numbers and give such poor training," he said, "why is It that they are the favorite hunting grounds for college presidents? It is peculiar that the colleges should want for their presidents men who haven't had a new idea about education for twenty years." President Hyde, who is still a young man, and by no means lacking In ability, made a brief reply, putting the best face be could on the matter. If he bad done nothing more than call out such magnificent defenders of the theological schools as Dr. alrbalrn ana Professor Moore, he said be would consider that he had done a great service.

Tho matter has been the talk of the day, with numerous witty allusions to It on the nart of the sDeakers. "The Christian Idea of the State" and "The Duty of Christians in Reference to Municipal Rnvernment" were the subjects ot me morn log addresses, one of the best of which wa bv Samuel B.

BROWNING KING CO. Kxelaslve Stork of Clotalaa; Attract Many Parekaaers. Browning. King ft great store at Wa bash avenue and Madison street Is filled with the most exclusive and extensive array of children's clothing to bo seen anywhere. It Is here the fond mammas of little sailor men and "vealle" suited heirs to palatial homes on the boulevards come in search of proper garb for young Americans.

Mr. Woolcott, the manager of the establishment, explained yesterday what a little "vestle" suit really Is. Imagine a sturdy brown little fellow ar rayed in a cutaway coat, a real vest, made hard and fast together In one garment. The coat may be of blue and the vest braided In white or black silk braid, for gold braid Is a thing of tha past- Younf gsters of 4 years are thus made llUle statesmen, andean also with impunity wear real derby hata. Their suits are nowadays of covert cloth and cheviot, even as their big brothers.

That Is If the older heads of the family only know about Browning, ft Co. Everything pertaining to men. boys, and children can be found within this inclusive stock. It was never more appreciated than in this prosperous season. Mr.

Olcott says the trad has never been so far-reaching since 1892. He Is enthusiastic over the good times, as. indeed, are all the merchants of the city. The stock is chosen from the different spe cialty houses of the United States. Does an Eastern house advertise a specialty of boys' French double-breasted sailor suits a buyer from Browning, King ft Co.

Is on the spot, an Chicago boys shall be Deweys and Hobsona without delay. The topcoats for the small boys of 4 years, make one truly believe that in matters of fashion these days the child really Is father of the man. Single striped worsted and wide wonted serges for boys of 14 to 19. with silk- faced box coats, are most In evidence. The popular trade In popular prices Is not disre garded, but was never before so well remem bered in the Browning.

King stock. The openlug at Browning. King's was en tirely an impromtue affair. Mr. Alcoot took advantage of the many opening elsewhere to prove to the women folk tbat men and boys were not behind the times.

The long salesroom on the second floor Is tastefully decorated with palms, and though the stock Is not so showy as those more feminine. It Is quite their equal In good taste and judicious buying.
