As goon as the contractors for the main buildings are ready to commence work on their bulldligs It will be necessary to have tracks on the grounds for handling the material In the most expeditious manner. The meeting yesterday wag held for the pur pose of making the necessary arrangements for having this work done at once. These tracks will bo laid on the north and south sides of the Kountzo tract , extending along the rear of the buildings that face the main court. They will cross Sherman ave nue from the bluff tract. At the latter point they will connect with the stub track already laid which leaves the main line near the Junction of Sherman avenue. The tracks will be covered over during the ex position with n roadway and will be resur rected at the close for the purpose of carry ing away the building material and exhibits.

What I would like to see is a fair and oqultabln settlement between the govern ment and the Union Pacific , so that the latter may go on and operate Its own road. I do not believe that foreclosure proceedings as at present contemplated would be altogether fair. The unfair part of such proceedings would consist In the fact that the government would have to pay off the first mortgage. Then , If jou take the other horn of the di lemma , jou're confronted with the govern ment owihjrshlp and operation of a railroad sstem , and In my opinion that's the vvlldeet scheme that was ever conceived.

The Woman's Hoard of Managers of the exposition will hold Its rcRiilar quartcrl ) meeting nt exposition hcndqiiartcrs nt 1C o'clock this morningU Is thoughi likely that the hoard will he In session al leasl a part of Saturday. All Hint hn heen done hy the executive committee of the woman's hoard since Iho last mectlnR of the main body will ho hroiiRht up for considera tion nnd approval , nnd It will alto devolve upon the hoard to authored the formation ol plans for the various congresses which will bo held under Its direction , nnd the carrying out of the same. In preparation for this meeting ot the board , the executive committee convened yesterday for the purpose of making uj n report to be presented to the main hoJj covering the work that has been done ami making such recommendations as were deemed advisable. Nothing hni yet been done In the way ol planning for congresses or aRrcclnR upon the particular soil of congresses that shall ho held. This matter will undoubtedly be one of the subjects which will bo discussal hy the board. It Is more than likely that a musical congress will be ono of those agreed upon , This action follows the fail ure to secure the convention ot the Music Teachers' National a oclatlon. A letter re ceived from Homer Moore conveys the In formation that tlui convention refused to fix upon Omaha as the place for the 1S9S meet ing. This action Is attributed hy the writer to the tactics adopted by the pres ident of the association , who Is also the head and front of the American Conserva tory of Music In New' York City. It Is charged that the president packed the con vention with pupils of the consetvatory ami allowed them to vote on the question of lo cation , thereby defeating the true senti ment of the convention. It Is also asserted that the association Is on the verge of dis ruption and that the most piomlncnt mem bers will withdraw. Some of the members of the womnn'c board have expressed the sentiment that a musical congress should be held In Omahn In connection with the exposition. In the letter of Mr. Moore , heretofore referred to , hu states that a number of the most promi nent musicians In thi * country have signified their willingness to assist In every way In carrying out a successful congress , and It U thought that more can be accomplished in this way than cmild have been clone with the presence of the national association.

This la taken as an indication that the exhibitors arc being awakened to the magnitude of the proposed exposition , nnd are anxious to secure n large amount of space before steps are taken to restrict exhibitors. Manager IJruco Is al ready seriously considering the necessity for enlarging the main buildings beyond the size originally agreed upon. Applications for space are being recclvel In such great num bers that nearly all the available space In some of the buildings ha.s been taken. For tunately , the main buildings are dcslgncj In such a way that the wings may be extended almost Indefinitely without Interfering with the symmetry of the design nnd without adding greatl > to the cofot of construction. Among the applications received yeotcrdaj by the Department of Exhibits was one from the rtosk Island (111) ( ) Plow company , through Its western agent , P. S. Haw ley ol Lincoln , Neb. , asking for 5,000 square feet of space. Thompson , lleldcn & Co. of this city made application for 200 feet for Wil liam Llttlo & Co. of New York City ; Green , Wheeler & Co. of Fort Dodge , la. , made ap plication through T. P. Cartwright , commis sioner for the shoe nnd leather section , for space for a display of leather goods ; the Lo Maltre Optical company made nppllcv tion for space for an exhibit , this being the ninth application received for an optical ex hibit ; the St. Joseph ( Mo ) Pump company and Wlltzlus & Co of Milwaukee , dealers In church goods , each made application foi an additional space.

The plans /or the Mines and Mining building are well undei way , and thcio will be completed within a short time. Bids for the Manufacture- ; building will be asked at once. There Is brisk competition among bidders for the contracts for the e main buildings , Kull > fifty copies of the plans of the Admin istration building have been sent out In re- Eponso to requests from contractors at all points In the country who desire to make a bid on the construction. The Administra tion building Is a comparatively small struc ture1 , the cost approximating about $10,000 , and It Is expected that competition will be much livelier on the other main buildings , the co t of which will run up to about $75,000 Every opportunity Is being afforded local contractors to bid on theae buildings , but they find themselves In direct competition with experienced exposition contractors In all parts of the country , und It Is predicted by throe who are posted thht the figures will bo made on a very close margin of profit to the contractor. \ \ 1:1,1.

They were the guests of the Salvation Army at the fresh air outing which the army has made an an nual feature for home years pabt. The children , many of them the ragged gamins of the street and others the boys and girls of the poor families of the city , gathered at the barracks at Seventeenth and Davenport strecU at 9 o'clock In the morning From this point they wcie taken out to Un park In squads of about fifty. They boarded the street cars at the corner of Thirteenth and Davenport streets. The facilities for carrying the children were not of the debt , as the htreet car com pany refused to give any special emu. The company aUo declined to reduce the fare , and theiefore the Salvationists had to pay full faro for their little guests Before going out to the grounds each child was given a box of refreshments , contesting ot sandwiches and fruit. A diay cniiled out a plentiful supply of lemons , nugar and Ice , and throughout th > day lemonade was freely dispensed. Additional provisions were also taken out , eo there MEH nt no time any danger that any of the children should go hungry. The day on tin1 grounds was spent by the children in play , -no irbtralnt being put upon them. The Salvationists allowed them to do as they pleased , although they uere called together In meetings once In auhlle The band -nan In charge of Ensign Carter arid the officers of the army. At 2 o'clock the Young Men's Christian Afsoclatlon band reached the grounds and played for toinn time. The children were brought luck to the city again late In the afternoon.
