Pretty white buttons ornamented by em
blematic sunflowers and worn on the breasts
of thousands of visitors were the conspic
uous feature at the grounds yesterday. The
celebration of the second Kansas day nnd
the first day of the fourth month of the
exposition were greeted by a crowd that was
strikingly suggestive of the Immense at
tendance that seems assured during the
remainder of the show. The morning trains
brought In thousands of visitors to add to
these who hud thronged the grounds on the
preceding days and although this was par
tially offset by the departure of some who
Jiad completed their visit , yesterday's crowd
remained visibly bigger than those that had
preceded It. It Included a liberal represen
tation of Jayhawkers , among which the
agricultural clement seemed to predominate.
Most of them came out rather earlier than
usual ana the forenoon attendance was ex
ceptional. The crowd was so big at noon
that the addition of the later arrivals was
scarcely perceptible , but In the evening
when the 25-ccnt admission came In play
the gates were again besieged and thou
sands of local visitors swarmed In to enjoy
the concert and the Interesting exhibition
of life saving on the lagoon.
KXHIICISKS AT T1IH AUDITORIUM.

The principal feature of the celebration of
Kansas Day occurred nt the Auditorium at
11 o'clock. A number of very Interesting
nddrcsses were varied by some exceptionally !
|
pleasing musical features nnd It was ' > y fur
the most elaborate program that has yet
been carried out on the grounds. The only
llllleulty was that It was too long to suit
the patience of the bulk of the big audience
that wan In the building when It started
and comparatively few of them remained
during the three hours that the speaking
continued.
The exercises were preceded by a very
enjoyable concert by the McCook band &nd
when the visiting delegation arrived It
found the building very comfortably filled I
with an appreciative crowd. At 11 L
o'clock the official party filed in headed I I
by the Caman Military band of Wlnfleld ,
Kan. , and conducted by President Wattles |
nnd General Manager Clarkson of the ex- |
position and Governor Holcomb. After a selection - <
lection by the band Vice President John E.
Ftost of the Kansas commission Introduced I |
Bishop Frank H. Mlllspaugh of Kansas , who
'
Invoked the divine blessing on all the In-
tcrcsts that the exposition represents.
The McPhcrson quintet sang a detection
with admirable taste and precision and re
sponded to a well merited encore. Governor
Holeomb then extended the greeting of
Nebraska to Us sister state and said that
his only regret was that all of the people
of the whole country could not como nnd
BCD the evidences of the remarkable achieve
ments of Nebraska during the last quarter
of n century. He suggested that the visitors
bhoulcl feel at home In Nebraska , for the
gorgeous emblems oJ their state grew in
profusion to the very gates of the exposi
tion. The history of the two states Is In
tertwined. loth ! were admitted to the unlqn
under the same act , under the same pecu
liar condltlonn and the same courage and !
enterprise and endurance have alike charac |
terized the people of each state. In the
future as In the past each should bp Inter
ested lu the prosperity and development of
the other.
The governor spoke enthusiastically of .
the future that lies before this favored portion
tion of the continent. With Its fertile soil
and yet undeveloped resources It will be the
granary of the wet Id. The exposition shows
what has b.eii accomplished In one epoch ,
but other epochs arc to follow that will
ehow still greater advancement.
Uoternnr ( illi-U'x HenpoiiNe.
In the absence of Governor Leedy of Kan
sas , who was detained by Illness , ex-Gov
ernor George W. Gllck responded to the
sentiments suggested by Governor Hol
comb. Ho said that Kausans have worked
hard and faithfully to build up their state.
They have built 10,000 school housed and
over 1,200 churches where the children of
the rich and poor sit side by side. Their
'agricultural ' advancement had been rnar-
\ clous and they have every reason to be
proud of the record of their state.
Another selection by the quintet pre
ceded the address of President Wattles , who
very happily expressed the pleasure It af
fords the exposition management to wel
come such a representative party from the
Sunllowcr state. He briefly tketched the
early history of Kansas , referred to the ox-
citlin ; controrursy on the slave question that
had accompanied Its admission to statehood
nnd had for some years after retarded Its
progress. In seven years Kansas had seven
territorial governors , approved four consti
tutions nrd attracted the attention of the
world. Drouth and grasshoppers brought
new misfortune , and the transportation
facilities were taxed to the utmost to carry
the gifts of the nation to the pcoplo of a
suffering state. But good crops brought [
prosperity and Kansas repaid its debt to the
nation by giving more troops In proportion
to Its population than any other state In the
union to defend Its nag. With a soil un
surpassed In fertility by any In the world ' *
nnd with a people Imbued with the spirit
of originality and progress Its prospects were
full of promise of Immeasurable prosperity.
Value of lIlKln-r IMiicuilini.
President Thomas E. Wills of the Kansn
Agricultural college spoke at some length on
the. value of higher education aa a factor
in public advancement. He contended that
Iilgher education doe * not mean the al
of a certain number , of text books. It
means the development of the Intellect , a *
the blacksmith develops bis bleeps , heed
manner in which tb.s c n best be secured
was discussed at length Church , schorls
and raeney making s-bools are no * , In his
Opinion , adapted to the purmf ho fuc
school Is the true system and It should be
open alike to all. To this end It Is urged
that the state should furnlth the
schools , the teachers and the means to
run them. It should provide such
accommodations as will afford the student
the most economical means of living and
thus bring education within the reach of
the poorest citizen of the commonwealth.
This was followed by speeches by C. D.
Hoffman , regent of the State Agricultural
college , nnd Thomas Ware of Topeka. After
the exercises the party adjourned to Mar
ket's cafe where an enjoyable lunch was
served ,
After the exercises In the Auditorium a
lunch was served In one of the restaurants
at which the Kansas commissioners and a
number of Invited guests were bidden. Tern-
eranco drinks were served nnd after the
'J.ables had been cleared nn hour was de-
; /-ted to speaking.

the cxhiI'/P > . 'ii by the United States
life savlng' 4 * ? ' " " special fireworks and the
attractions atxjje Indian village were some
of the attractions that drew an Immense
crowd to the exposition grounds last night.
The 25-cent admission rate became effective
at 6 o'clock and for .the . two hours following
every car leading to the grounds was
crowded to the foot boards. Hundreds
walked to the gates , where there was a
Jam , such as has seldom been seen.
The work of the life saving crew at night
was something not heretofore seen on the
lagoon and It proved n great card as n
drawer. Every Inch of space along the
viaduct rail from 'tho ' bridge down to the
Government building was occupied. The
shot fired over 'tho spar carried the rope
Just where It was Intended. The shipwrecked -
wrecked crew was saved and carried In
safety to the shore. The swamping of the
boat elicited loud cheers nnd the entire program -
gram was enjoyed hugely by these who wit
nessed It. Many regarded It even more. In-
tcrestlng than when conducted during the
afternoon.
The fireworks on the north 'tract were
special for Kansas day and were witnessed
by a crowd that occupied every seat In the
grand stand. Although he had not been
given much time In which 'to ' manufacture
the fireworks , John Due , chief of pyrotech
nics , sot out and completed what by many
was considered the best display since the
opening of the exposition. The set pieces
were Governor Leedy in colored flre , "Wel
come Kansaw , " the man pushing the bar
row , "Yankee Doodle , " a zlg zag design ,
revolving planets , a spiral wheel In four
colors Intersected by tblrty-slx-lnch scrolls
with revolving wheels at the back of each.
Then there were 100 fountains with fifty
stars each. Rockets and bombs were much
as have been heretofore exploded , with the
exception that there were a number of
double shells , throwing gold and silver fire.
The red In the rockets was unusually flno
and of a much deeper hue , the color remain
ing until It reached the earth.
After the fireworks about everybody
seemed to visit itlie Midway and all of the
concessionaires did a good business until
the hour for closing.
The Indians had their usual dance , but
there were so many other things to attract
attention that few pcoplo visited the camp.
The dance was In the nature of a friendly
gathering and was participated In by the
Crows , Sioux and Asslnlbolnos.

j enjoying an outing nt the exposition.
| Some weeks ago Editor J. D. Jewell or
. the I
Leader-Democrat worked
up a voting
scheme t for the purpose of ascertaining the
popularity I of the young women of the town
The five most popular ones he promised free
transportation to Omaha , board for n week
at a first class hotel and
pauses to UK-
exposition during their stay lu town. Theu
the fun commenced and continued until
Monday , when time was called. In figuring
up results It was ascertained that Misses
Ella Ashworth , Emma Hunt , May Mnlone ,
Kittle Evans and Mrs. George E. Preston
had won. This word was conveyed to Sec
retary Wakcfield of the exposition , who yes
terday forwarded the exposition passes to
the editor to bo delivered to the young
women. There was another youne woman
who came within 200 votes or such a mat
ter of being a winner. She Is a Miss Maude [
McLean , and while It Is possible that she
may not como as the guest of the paper
she v ill have a pass to the exposition
grounds. Along with the other passes Sec
retary Wakefield sent ono for this young
woman , recuestlnc that she accept it as a '
courtesy from the exposition. The young
women pvnect to reach Omaha next Tues
day. They will be chaperoned by Miss Orn
Casslty , who Is connected with the Leader-
Democrat.
Want n ( irnml Army A\ ' < - 'ii.
A movement has been started by a number
of prominent members of the Grand Array
of the Republic to have a Grand Army week
In October at the exposition. Several at
them met .together last night and talked
the thing over with the result that It was
resolved to call upon State Department Com
mander Majors to Invite the posts generally
to participate In an encampment hero from
October 10 to 15 and an Invitation Is to bo
sent to General Gobln , national department
commander , and through him calling upon
ex-unlou soldiers of the country generally |
to pay Omaha a visit and take part in a
mammoth Grand Army of the Republic
demonstration.
It Is believed no time could be more pro
pitious for a grand reunion of old veterans
than now as the magnificent record of the
| administration In the late war with Spain
I and the happy termination of this most re
cent conflict afford reason for an enthusi
astic gathering.
Apiary Ilitlldlnx IN Killed.
There Is .no more vacant space In the
Apiary building. The last section was taken
yesterday by G. n. Lewis & Co of Waterloo -
lee , la. , who will put In an exhibit consistIng -
Ing of supplies and tools used in the cultiva
tion of bees and the handling of the honey.
The building Is more completely filled than
the Apiary buildings at any of the former
expositions and the exhibits are said to be
of a better class.
The honey In the Apiary building Is ad-
mlrcd by all who visit the structure. While
It has been nn off year for bees , owing to
the extreme heat and the wet weather durIng -
Ing the early part of the season , the honey
Is excellent and U said to be as fine as any
ever placed on exhibit.
ClurkHun fioea to Cincinnati.
General Manager Clarkson will leave for
Cincinnati Saturday night to attend the
national encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic , which occurs in tLo Ohio city
next week. During the encampment he will
present the Invitation of the exposition
management nnd the Grand Army posts of
Nebraska to the national body to attend the

NEW YORK. Sept. 1. The transport
M lexlco , with General Shafter on board , was
lighted off Montauk Point at 6:40 : a. m.
oday , and on hour later dropped anchor
I | n Fort Pond bay.
The City of Mexico has on board besides .
General Shafter the members of his staff , '
Deluding Lieutenant Colonels E. J. McCIer-
nand , U. F. Pope nnd 0. McC. Derby : Majors
Robert H. Noble , John Mlley and S. W.
Grosbcck ; Captains Jt E. Gllmore and E.
I. Plummer. As soon as General Wheeler
ivas notified of General Shafter's arrival he
ordered a salute of fifteen guns to bo fired
and Troops M , E , C , II and K. of the Second
end regular cavalry were detailed to escort
Icneral Shafter Into camp when ho should
and.
General Shafter and his staff were landed
from the City of Mexico shortly before 11
o'clock , being taken off in the auxiliary gun
boat Allecn and landed at the "floating
dock , " some distance away from the quar
antine pier. General Young was nt the pier
at the time. The coming ashore of the com
mander and his staff was unexpected. Gen
eral Wheeler had the cavalry drawn up at
the quarantine pier and the guns waiting to
salute General Shafter. He was not aware
that . General Shatter was on shore until thu
latter , ' and his staff had been driven to the |
detention hospital In carriages. General
Shatter appeared In good health when ho
came ashore. On the City of Mexico beside
the general and his staff came ono company , ,
of the First regiment Infantry. No report !
as to their condition has been made. I
cral Shafter was ashore ordered the salute |
of fifteen guns fired. U was difficult to get
near General Shafter at the detention camp ,
but the commander of the Santiago cam
paign sent word to the correspondent that I
he was glad to be on American soil once
more , hut was sorry to learn that so many '
of his men had died and were still sick at
Montauk. He said , however , that had the
troops remained In Santiago they would
have fared much worse.
Surgeon Myer , who came north on the Al
legheny , had something to say today as to
the condition of the transport. It was said
on the vessel that fourteen Ninth Massa-
chueetts men had died. Surgeon Myer stated
that when the Allegheny left Santiago there
were but twelve sick men on board , "but
sickness developed very quickly on the ves
sel when out a few days and deaths oc
curred at the rate of three a day.
The Massachusetts men and the First Illi
nois men were landed from the Allegheny
today and the 145 sick were sent to the hos
pitals. The men from the City of Mexico
were also taken ashore.
Can I.link Out fur Illnmelf.
General Shatter Is now , strictly speaking , '
by reason of rank in command of Camp
Wlkoff , but ho will not assume the -reins of
control until his term In the detention camp
Is finished.
In an Interview this afternoon General
Shaftcr said :
"I knew nothing of the Mlles-Alger con
troversy until I was shown a newspaper on
my arrival here. I will not discuss It now.
nor will I enter the controversy at any time ,
Secretary Alger and General Miles can take
care of themselves and so can I.
"Tho Red Cross and other nurses did good
work at Santiago , but the front Is hardly
the place for women. There was never any
real scarcity of food In Cuba , but there were
no transportation facilities to get supplies to
: te front other than pack mules. The army
j and sick In hospitals down there fared as
well as possible In such a climate. "
When told that It hod been denied that
there was yellow fever at the camp at San
tiago , General Shaftcr said It was nonsense ,
as there was yellow fever there and the
doctors In Santiago , who knew it like a book ,
said It was yellow fever and nothing else.
Santiago was on the mend , the general said ,
and the sanitary measures taken by the offi
cers were having a good effect.

Third corps headquarters , division head

corps leave Camp Thomas tomorrow for
Annlston , Ala. The regiments of the First \
division of the corps will also begin moving
tomorrow. It will be Impossible to get all
the regiments of the corps out this week ,

So materially have the conditions In the

i that there Is now but little complaint. The
J number of patients Is decreasing rapidly and
I there are but few deaths. A number of sick '

' Too HUM- for InvextldaHoii Now.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 1. Surgeon General
I Sternberg today sent the following letter to
| a New York medical publishing house , which
had made Inquiries of him concerning the
i conduct of the war with reference to the
medical department , especially about the
subject of having an Immediate Investiga
tion of ills bureau. Ho says :
I am ready at any moment for a com-
10"plcto Investigation with reference to my ad 1
ministration of the affairs of the medical de
partment , but the War deportment is not
disposed to make such an Investigation as
the result of sjmatlcnal newspaper articles.
There Is at present an evident craze to
criticise without regard to truth or Justice.
In regard to Montauk Point , I Intend to send
at once Lieutenant Colonel Charles Smart ,
, an experienced officer and a professor of
i hygiene , to make a thorough sanitary In-
flvestlgatlon. ] .

patch from General Stiles :
PONCE , Sept. L Secretary of War. Wash
ington : Twelve thousand troops will be
left In Porto Rico and nearly 4,600 Infantry ,
cavalry and artillery sail for New York.
These troops sail on the OMsir. . Concho ,
Chester , Alamo , Mlulsslppl and Manitoba.
The division Is under command of Major
General Wilson , with Brigadier Generals
Schwan , Halnes and Garretpou. All these
officers have taken part In the different en
gagements and are entitled to much credit
and I speak for them any consideration that
can bo given on their return home. The
cavalry and artillery leave most of their
horses and all of their field transportations
In Porto Ktco. I Suit on Obdum today.
MILES.
Major General Commanding.
General Brooke has notified Cnptaln Gen
eral Maclas , the Spanish general commandIng -
Ing at San Juan do Porto Rico , under a flag
of truce carried to the Spanish lines by
Colonel Gocthal , that Rear Admiral Schley
and General Gordon , the American Porto
Rlcan peace commissioners , had sailed for
San Juan from New York on the steamer
Seneca. At the same time General Brooke ,
who is also a member of the commission ,
nked il there was any objection to his pro-
ccedlng overland with Tin escort. Major Jose
Reyes of the Spanish army brought the reply
Oiw General Maclas today. It was sent by
wire and said there were no objections. Con
sequently General Brooke has arranged to
leave on Friday or Saturday with his staff ,
escorted : by Troqp F of the Sixth cavalry
and Captain Pitcher's company of the
Eighth Infantry.
Several stone culverts between here and
the Spanish works on the crest of the moun
tains , which had been blown up , will bo re
paired tomorrow by Colonel Goethal's en-
glneers. The SpanUh fortifications are marvelously -
velously strong , and the Spanish command
ers claim they could have held back the
esi
strongest army In Europe against the strong
est assault In front. The Spaniards had
trenches and two guns. All but 100 men sta
tioned there have returned to San Juan.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 1. A dispatch has
been received at the War department from
i General Miles asking why the troops In
Porto Rico hove not been palfl. The ex
planation Is given that the paymasters with
money for the troops were at Santiago and
ready to proceed to Ponce , but General
Miles objected to these paymasters , saying
they . would bring yellow fever Infection with
them , or the money might bo Infected while
on . board tbo ships. The other paymasters
have been since dispatched to Porto Rico
to pay the troops that remained there.

stance a full list of names and the nature
of disease. The list by camps Is as follows :

i . . PARIS , Sent. 1. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Paris Is
ablaze with excitement over the Dreyfus
revelations. Experienced students of
Parisian moods declare that nothing short
of a miracle can stave off some outbreak
of revolutionary turbulence. The ministry
's bcsldo Itself wl'h consternation and ap
prehension. Heretofore the republic has
been saved at critical moments by reliance
on the army , but now the army Is demoral
ized nnd the pcoplo suspect It of being rot
ten , root and branch.
The sravest rumors still circulate com
promising chiefs of the general staff In con
nection with Henry's suicide.
Tonight a report readily credited went
flying along the boulevards that Dolsdcffro
had followed Henry's example.
. Public confidence Is so utterly shattered
that no anticipation too grave ran be dis
believed. Popular sentiment Is fast crystal
lizing 1 In favor of a revision of the Dreyfus
case. The Inspired statement of Temps that
the discovery of Henry's forgery only gives
added force to the proofs of Dreyfus' guilt
is regarded ns merely showing the sheer
dementia | of the ministers In face of the
tremendous crisis. Temps has now executed
j1 change of front nnd demands a revision ,
In which It Is supported by other leading
papers.
Dreyftii 'lay Come Home.
The World correspondent learned at the
ministry of commerce tonight that orders
' for ' the repatriation of Dreyfus may Inatio
at any moment. Several cable dispatches
have already passed between the ministry
nnd Cayenne understood to bo Inquiries re
specting possible arrangements for sending
> the ' convict home.
The Intelligence branch of the war office
Is In a state of painful excitement over
the ' dlsuracc of the suicide. Its chief and
other members of the staff Implicated In the
conspiracy are declared to bo under sur
veillance , but the truth la In the present
temper of the public mind every official
Hiispccts encb other nnd a white terror
prevails among olficlals. Disclosures of
n more grave event than the Panama scan
dal are freely predicted for the ministry.
i Cavalsnac Is stated by Temps to be still
convinced of Dreyfus' guilt , but at the
ministry of war the World correspondent
was Informed this evening that there was
no warrant for such on assertion. In fact ,
, It Is hinted that since Henry's suicide other
evidence has been unearthed whlrh haa
modified Cavnlgnac's belief In Dreyfus' cul
pablllty.
HevUlon Munt Come.
Yves Guyot said to mo today : '
"The honor of the army cries out for o
revision. No device can now frustrate it. "
Frances Depressucso asseverated with In
tense feeling : "Revision Is as ertaln as
that the nun will rise tomorrow. Its re
fusal could no longer be regarded as other
than equivalent to the avowal that Drcyfua
had been wrongfully convicted. "
Even IJumetlere , SCoIa's fiercest opponent
and bitter personal enemy , declared : "I
am awaiting Judicial proofs which I am con
fident the government can produce at a re
hearing. "
Georges Clcmcnceau , who defended Zola
with his labors , said : "I have witnesses to
swear that Fauro has himself declared to
Intimate friends that he has been ciiamo-
fully misled nnd cheated. The only ques
tion now Is the time and method of n re
hearing. Much will depend on the method. "
Anti-Dreyfus Journals still cling desper
ately to the lost causa with a strange per
version of mind , styling Henry a martyr to
patriotism and a typical man of honor. The
ministers are still asserted to bo divided on
the revision question nnd It Is deemed qulto
possible that a ministerial crisis may relieve
lievo the objectors of responsibility for
sanctioning that course.
i\tract from lireyfuo' I.i-fcr .
Special point is given under present cir
cumstances to the Dreyfus letters , now first
published , though received four years ago
by Madaino Dreyfus. One extract Is as fol
lows :
"I will not tell you all I have suffered ,
for In the whole world there are no words
patriotic enough for that. Do you remember
my telling you how happy we were. Evcry-
thing smiled for us In life. Then all of a
sudden a clap of thunder so appalling that
my brain still reels. I was accused of the
most monstrous crime a soldier can com-
rait. I have had moments of wild madness.
I have even wandered , but my
kept nwako and said to mo , 'Lift up your
I head and look the world In the face. Strong
In your good conscience , walk straight. It
I Is a terrible trial , but you must undergo
I . . .
u
This Is certainly not like the letter of a
guilty man pretending to be Innocent. Hero
Is another extract :
"To have worked all one's life for one
single end and that end taking revenge
against that Infamous ro'bbcr who despoiled
us of our dear Alsace , and.then see one's
| self accused of treason toward one's coun-
try ! No. my darling. My mind refuses to
take It In. Do jou remember how I told
you about my being ten years ago at Mull-
house ? In the month of September It wan
and I heard one day passing under our
windows a German band celebrating the
anniversary of Sedan. My anguish was
such I wept with rage. I bit the sheets
with anger and swore to consecrate all my
strength and understanding to the servlcn
of my country against those who thu :
trampled on the Alsatians In their anguish.
My life has now but one rlngle aim to dis
cover the wretch who betrayed his country. "
