LINCOLN , Nek , Sept , 11. [ Special to Tun
lint' . ] The attendance at the state fair
grounds reached high water tnarle today ,
when a conservative estimate placed the
crowd nt nearly 70,000In the afternoon the
crush was such that most of tlio buildings
were uncomfortable , and on the grand stand
nnd nround the race track fully 20,000 pcoplo
were collected. Tlio races did not begin
until 3 p. m. , but the nmplthoator began to
fill up at IS and at 1 there was standing room
only. The quarter stretch wains full of car
riages as the stand was of people. In fact
there was little inoro than breathing room
anywhere. Both the morning and afternoon
trains came In heavily laden with passengers
from distant points who came tu the city
principally to witness the great illuminated
trades' display tonight. Thcso , of course ,
swelled the attendance at the fair. Thursday
has been emphatically the big day.
A tour of tlio restaurants , eating stands ,
eldo-shows , ot < ! . , Hils afternoon revealed the
f fact that the pojplo who nro attending this
year's ' fair did not Icavo homo -with empty
> pockets. It is doubtful if the grounds con
tain a dealer or showman of any kind who
has not made money , nnd n good deal of it ,
notwithstanding the fact that tlio number of
fakirs and pcalers , as mentioned In yester
day's UKK , Is greatly In excess of any pre
vious year. The proprietor of ono of the
numerous 10 cent shows took Tun Bnn
representative into his conlidenco and stated
that If tomorrow's receipts are up to the
average ho will take away with him not n
cent less than Sl.'JOO as the not result of his
four days' work. And they all tell the same
story. This Is tukou ns a most favorable
indication of comparative prosperity this
winter and an almost complete refutation of
the claim thut hard times uro coining.
Leading exhibitors In agricultural hall de
clare thut the shipment of Nebraska products
to outsldo points will bring more money into
the state this year than last. They say that
wlillo there will doubtless to many cases of
Individual suffering , the condition of the
fanners la the aggregate will show a decided
Improvement. At any rate the appearance of
. prosperity und plenty at the fair
has done much to Inspire confidence. No
body has thought of nard times this wceic.
There Is a prospect that the tnlk iclntivo tea
a permanent location of the fair may culmi
nate in n petition from tlio leading dealers In
agricultural Implements and machinery pray-
hiK for a tlnal mid permanent locution uud ad
ditional facilities , the petition carrying with
It a suggestion that unless this Is dune this
important industry will not bo so strongly
represented in the future. A member of the
boaid of managers of the stnto agricultural
society , In talking over the matter , said :
"Tho law , If I remember rightly , says that
the board may. at Its discretion , relocate the
fair every llvo years. Now , the rivalry
between the different towns and cities
mis been so great that wo have
thought it wise to take advantage of the
' may1 and take a vote every iifth year ,
think myself that if the matter could bo
amicably adjusted in * such a way that
Iho suite nt largo would bo satisfied
would bo much better to locate
the fair permanently at some convenient
place. There lius been inoro and more talk
every year on this subject , and It Is possible
that'somu action will be taken In the matter
in tlio near future. Of course It goes without
Baying that If the fair was permanent II
could bo made much bettor limn it now is. "
Although it does not show to the best ad
vantage ut this , the fug end of tlie fair , one
. - of the most interesting Icaturcs is the display -
\ play of fruits. Most of the exhibitors are
I small farmers who have only n few varieties
each , but the aggregate presents i
very nttnirtlvo appearance and spo.ik
well for the fruit growing hid stiy in
tlio state. Tlio specimens of apples and
grapes are particularly line. I nappies there
are Maiden's Blush , Cooper Whites , Duchess
Rainbo , Famouse , Bailey's Sweets , Porters ,
Colo's quince. Wurllelds. Days , Utler's Ilcds.
Plum Cider. Wealthy , Dyer , ISnrly Ponnock
Calvert , Chonargo , Strawberry , Saxton ,
Fall YVincsnp , Grimes , Golden , etc.
The display of | > cnrs includes representa
tives of the following varieties : Flemlsl
Ucauty , Bnrtlctts , Ulapp's Favorite , Seckcl
Duchess d'Angoulcmu , Klcffcr , Louisa B ,
Do Jersey , etc.
Floral hall Is filled to the brim with hand
some flowers and plants exhibitor
by Fremont , 1'huisinouth , Crete am
Lincoln nurseryman , Thcro are palms
in profusion , cactus pants of many
different varieties roses , oleanders , tube
roses , calladluins , colons , ferns , selngi
iiellcs , begonias , oiirniitions , geraniums
fuchsias , dahlias , verbenas , p.inslcs , gladl
olas , oto. , etc. Ili'sser of Pluttsinouth nm
Chopin Bros , of Lincoln exhibit line collcc
tlons of pilins ; and tropical plants.
Northern Kansas und eastern Colorado
evidently appreciate the importance of the
Nebraska' state fair. Lost year Yumr
-equity , Col. , had a small exhibit in n little
building of Its own. This year Colorado line
Kim iH occupy a largo part of ono wimr
in the agricultural building will
n display of farm products , minerals , glasses
etc. It must bo admitted , however , tha
while n most interesting showing Is made
Nebraska does not suffer by the compniisor
which these exhibits cause to bo mado.
Already Inquisitive pcoplo are beginning t
Innulro about the probable flnunclal result o
the fulr , but Sivruuiry Furuns states that i
will DO some weeks before mutters will bo ii
such shape thai a diMlnlto statement can b
made. Ilo anticipates a balance on the rlgh _
tide , however , und there Is no Immediate
prospect of hard times as fur as the board is
concerned , The expenses have been a little
larger than formerly , but this will bo more
than made up by the increased receipts.
Tomorrow , Friday , at U p. in. , * the fair
closes , A most Interesting programme bus
been arranged for closing day nnd n good at-
tundnni-o Is expected. Inhibitors uro not al
lowed to iimro their goods until late in the
afternoon , and visitors may depend on seeing
tbo whole fair.

Fish Commissioner W. L. May has spent
iho entire week in the state tlshcrlcs build
ing1 , and has done much to awaken interest In
the llsh culture industry.
Lincoln is entitled to the fulr for five years
longer.
The Sioux county people nro worthy of
special notice for their magnificent display of
the natural und farm products that they ex
hibit hero this week. Notwithstanding the
unfavorable reports from that section , the
show of grain and vegetables ( especially the
latter ) Is not bettered by any iti the state.
The display Is located in a lop cabin built of
pure logs from Sioux countr , and is well
worthn visit to sco what the Great American
Desert can produce without irrigation in an
exceptionally dry season. The exhibit Is
under the care and "management of the fol
lowing citizens of Sioux county : Ell Smith ,
A. C. ljratt , Thomas Hudy , David Bartlett ,
und Jotm Sohulz , all of Harrison.
The long talked of trades display occurred
this evening and had a number of very bril
liant features , but in the main it wts very
commonplace. After the royal band and
trumpeters King Zeus loomed up at the head
of the procession clad in gorgeous robes and
with a magnificent gunru of splendidly at-
tlred ivarriors acting as his escorts. This
was the great feature of tno parade. Shortly
after this was another noteworthy float en
titled "Pythias at the Block,11 In which the
oxecutioucer stood with a huge batticnxo
ready to decapitate his victim , while scat
tered about were gorgeously drc.jsed warriors.
A perfect reproduction of the Crete mills
elicited uppluuso along the entire routo. The
Union I'aoitlo locomotive was a source of
wonder. The militia and fraternal organiza
tions showed up in their usual manner , ex
cept that many of the latter were not well
lighted. Tbero was a liberal sprinkling of
good bunds and lots of fireworks , and the
crowd was satisfied.

Violent Fluctuations in the Now
Ycirlc Speculative Markets.
NKW YOHK , Sept. 11 All the speculative
markets today won excited and uneasy ami
the lluctuations more violent than for a Jong
time. In the grain markets the lluctuations
were wild and prices went up with a rush ,
Brokers were all amazed at the character o
the government crop report , it being the
most unfavorable , taking all crops together ,
over issued , and the shorts ana different op
tions rushed to rover without regard tc
prices , in thostock exchange holders of stocks
were staggered at the estimates of the crops
The idea prevails that such a falling off ii :
tlio yield will have a disastrous effect on th <
net earnings of railroads. The crop roper
was soon lost sight of , however , in the alarm
caused by several of the most conservative
houses calling in their loans on stock collnt
oral. The rate for call loans at once ad
vanced to a premium of } & IH.T cent In addition
to the legal interest , and on some ot the fiwcy
stock nolouns could bo obtained at any figure ,
This forced renewed attempts to llquiJ.U
and a decline followed. Everything on th
list suffered losses ranging from 1 toO po
cent , and fora tiino the market , was demoral
izcd. Heavy offers of govcrmntnt bonds foi
prepayment of interest then pave a fresh sup
ply of money and to some extent rodtorei
confidence , und in the hotter class of stock ;
most of the decline was recovered.

TOHOXTO , Ont. , Sept. 11. [ Special Tele

Hag was seen fluttering from one cud of the

This was done amid a good dealof hissing and
cheering by these who noticed the act. As

of the occurrence ho ordered the flag to be
again hoisted and yesterday It was in place.
Colonel Grey appeared upjutho sccno boiling
with rase und entered the "flag of an idlcn
people" to be torn from tlio llagstaff. This
Manager Ci ivy refused to do , claiming to bo
as loyal ns the colonel , and besides ho said it

A. DIVIDED PIlOOrtAVMK.
The order of business adopted by the sen
ate today is a formidable looking1 affair , but
with reasonaolo dispatch in the further con
sideration of the taiiff bill tticro is not much
llkoliliooJ of even n majority of the measures
named receiving consideration. Thc'O uro
two parts of the programme , divided by tlio
Ml to transfer the revenue marine fron : tbo
treasury to tbo navy department. In the
first part are those measures to which ,
there is little or no objection and
upon which debate is not to
bo protracted. The others are measures
over which contention is probable , led by
tlie revenue bill. Unless there have been
some marvelous conversions In the senate
since that bill was last up for discussion tlio
session \vill have to bo more prolonged than
is anticipated to wear out the opposition.
This comprises some of the best tacticians
on both sides of the chamber , for the oppo
nents of the bill include rcpubllcaus and
democrats alike.

Senator Spoonor , who with Senator Hour is
in direct charge of the federal election bill ,

"How early 1" was asked ,
"Before the first of January , " was the ro-
ponso.
"Tho result of the election In Maine was

A subject of special importance to the sil
ver producing states -which found MO plnco
upon the order of business adopted today was
Senator Teller's joint rcsblutlon directing
the president to fnvlto the governments of
the countries comprising thi ) Latin union , nnd
such other notions ns ho may deem advlsnblo ,
to Join the United States in a conference to
adopt u bimetallic arrangement. The author
will m ake an effort , however , to sccuro ac
tion at the short session. The silver sena
tors have not yet learned , It beams , of tlio ap
pointment of S. Daun Horton , the writer on
financial topics , to visit Europe as an expert
agent of tlio United States , and Senntor
Stewart especially will ho Inclined to gram-
bloat it. Ilo tloojn't approvoof Horton's
views , and thinks It would bo bettor not to
scud imyono than have him go. Senntor
Teller siys of the slump in silver todav that
It Is but temporary , duo to stringency in the
money market caused by payments for large
importations in advance of the taking effect
of the tariff bill , and that ho expects to sco
tlio white metal at 1-0 again Inside of a
month.
The republican congressional campaign
committee Is very much encouraged over the
result of the election in the First district in
Muino nnd will pursue the same tactics ns
far as they nro applicable to tbo districts In
which McKlnloy and Cannon are running.
ThL-ro U not much doubt about Mr. Cannon's
re-election , but the committee do not propose
to take any chauccs. In MelClnloy's district
there is an adverse majority of L',500 to over
come , but great conlidencovas expressed
today In the ability of the candidate to suc
ceed. _

ing State Examiner Ken yon to close upona
of the leading associations was the result of
a conference of bunkers , at which it was re
