The gates were closed last night and no one not having special busi- flees on the grounds will be admitted unUl the day set tar the opening. This courze wa decided upon. by the exeenUve conmittee yesterday afternoon , and the rule excluding visitors from the ) grounds will be enroreed itrfctly. There are several reasons for this action. Chief among them is the fact that the crowds of visitors which have thronged every por- Uan ot the grounds durthg the last few days have Interfered very seriously with the orkmen in all lines. The graders and payers , the painters and decoratnrs , the carpenters erecting booths. the exhibitors preparing their displays-all have been Interfered - terfered with and delayed by the curious people crowding and pushing in every nook and corner , and the influx of the usual Sun- ilny crowd threatened to prove a serious problem. fl.aMuni for Ilic Orafer. Another reason for closin ; the grounds was the fact that the exblblthrs are corn- pelled to have their material strewn all about and the temptation seemed to be too great for aome of the people with klep- tornania. A number of small things have disappeared the last few days , and this added more weight to the argument in favor of closing the grounds entirely. - - Still another reason In the same direction Is found in the well known fact that an exhibit in course of preparation is never seen to the best advantage , and it as thouht only fair to exhibitors to give them an opportunit ) ' tO make their prepamUon with as much privacy as may be. At the hour of noon an May O the gates will be closed against the receipt of any more exhibits or materials and the remain- lag ( line until the morning of June t wl1 - be devoted to cleaning up and adding the fluishing touches to the exhibits. The Dc- pertinent of Exhibits will go through every building and see that every exhibit is making - ing the proper progress. Anything that Is in the least objectionable will be removed and a general supervision wIll be exercised to assure the completeness of each build- thi ; . 5 Eahlbitors who have been delayed in ar- rivthg havc been cmrnuoIcated with and the Exhibits depatment has assurances that all will be on hand In time for the opening. Every space will be occupied and the buildings will present the most attractive - tractive and InviUng appearance. The repairs to the lagoon have been corn- pleted and the water was turned on last night. About forty-eight hours will be rciuired to ff1 the big basIn. ' as the water is not allowed to run "full head" at night on account of possible flres requiring more pressure. The railing on the permanent bridges across the lagoon at. Twentieth Street is being put in place and preparations have been made for laying the top covering on the cement base forming the coors of these bridges. The grading of the approaches - preaches to the bridges is about completed and the laying of the macadam covering has been commenced. Quality of the Exhibits. Each exhibitor has been envious of the other , which has added greatly to the slab- orateness of tile dipla , each one trying to outdo his brother. In some points many think the exhibits xcsl those of the WorIds fair , and espe- ciall7 is this so in the Fine Arts building. p crc. one Is not permitted to gaze upon such a large collection of pictures as was shown at. the World's fair. but there is an absence of manj inferior works of art which marked the display there. No flner collec- Ucu has been shown to the public , compris- thg 'orks from the brush and pen of all well known artists. Director Uriiflth Is one of the busiest men on the ground and be says the opening day will see everything in readiacea for the sightseeing of the public. The various buildings are being decorated prorusely on the overhead stringers with Ongs. while on the side auppcfrts In the gal- ieries are hung large pictures corresponding with the products contained in the buildings.

An outline of the program for the two days in June selected as "Wisconsin days. " has been received from President J. C. Koch and it indicates that the people of that secUon intend to make the occasion a most notable one. According to the plan outlined by the president of the Wisconsin commission , an excursion of Wisconsin people will leave Milwaukee the evening of June 16 and arrive In Omaha the next morning. The president writes that present indications are that there will be a large crowd from Wisconsin on this excursion. The 1th will be spent in looking over the grounds and the city generally , and the formal - mal exercises of the occasion will transpire on Saturday , the 18th. These will take place in the Wisconsin building and the president of the commission will make a short address - dress formally turning over the building to Governor Schofield or Lieutenant Governor Snenech. The governor will accept the building and will then formally turn It. over to the exposition authorities , President Wattiss will accept the structure in the nane of the exposition management Following - lowing these formalities one of Wisconsin's most noted orators will make a. short ad- dress. taking for his subject the reiatlons of Wisconsin to the transmisslssippt region. The speaker will also speak at caine length regarding the ftfUeth anniversary of Wis- conslns admission to the union ai1 the occasion will be made a celebration of this noted event in the history of the state. An original poem by a Wisconsin poet will he one of the features of the occasion. These exercises will take place in the afternoon and the evening will be devoted to a public reception in the state buUdiny. to be followed by a dance. To add to the attractiveness and interest of the occasion. fifty women delegates from Wisconsin to the annual mesUng of the Confederation of Women's clubs to be held at Denver will take part in the exercises in connection with the formal dedicaUon of the building and will also attend the "Omaha prelude' to the federation meeting which will take place June iS and 19. in addition to the attendance of Wisconsin - sin people on the occasion of the dedlcaUon of the state building.

At the exposition power house the electric current was turned on last night at 8:45 : o'clock for a test of all the lights on the main court. A number of people were present. among them being a number of exposition omclals , to. witrrss the Initial illumination of the main court. The system is divided Into four sections , and all had been tested separately , but last night was the first combined test. The eect was grand and called forth much praise from those who witnessed the mu- mination. The court was made as light as day and people walking at the most extreme nd o ( the court were pl4nly discernible from the viaduct at the east. end. Some 1l.GOO lights of twenty candle power a each are brought into use on the court This is the flest time in the history of an I exposition that lighting the main court has I been attempted , as it was thought an im- possibility.

( Copyright , 19S. by Press I'ubilshing Co. ) LONDON , May 8.-New York World Ca- biegram - Special Telegram. ) - Englantis greatest Citizen was today laid to rest in the Valhalla of his race. Military omp and the outward trappings of pageantry were absent - sent , but the ceremonial 'was gIor1ed by the homage of his greatest surviving contemporaries - temporaries , and by the sentiment of universal - versal reverence expressed in the outspoken gratitude of a free people. Whatever mea- greness there was in lying in state there was none whatever about the funeral. In every respect that ceremony was impressive. lofty a&1 dfgnIed. This was fitting to the funeral of one who. alter all. 'was essentially a civilian. There were no nodding plumes , nor mighty processIon , for the cotfln was carried on a simple funeral carriage. and the distance between Westminster hail and Westminster abbey is but a few steps ; but the people , as in the lying-in-state , were an Impress- lye anal wistful sight. Every spot an which the eye lit swarmed with human beings. They peeped at you from the windows - dews of the hospital and from the roofs of the houses. Everybody , nearly. aas dressed in black , and there was the same unbroken sombreness of demeanor which was so characteristic the last few days. Indeed , there was something positively thrilling in the unSroken silence of thts vast multitude which added immensely to cue's sense of magnitude of the solemnity of this occasion. The procession of the members of Parlia- meat. formed in the Hcuse of Commons as I early as 93O and the chamber presented an appearance at once curious and impress- ire. There must have been 400 members I present , and considering that the holidays had already hegun. this was a marvelous muster. It is said that not a single liberal member was absent , except invalids ; and Gladstone's opponents , the tories , were also fully represented. Irish 3ta.nabcr , . Present. The Irish ' members were some forty strong , a very considerable number , consid- eting that it was vacation and the present circumstances of the party. Mr. Dillon sat in his usual pla.ce and close beside him were the men who are most closely associated with his leadership. Among them was Mr. Blake. one of the most impressIve Ogures I of the day. with tall stature , clear cut features - tures and look of distinction. None of the Parnellites were present , nor wan Mr. Henly. Everybody in the house was in the deep- eat black. The whole hnusc ler.ited Ic some extent like a funeral chamber. There was Just one bit of color. The sergeant-at-arms had around his silver collars tied white silk bows , a curious and an unusual addition to his uniform. When the speaker entered there was a surprise In store for the house. which saw its sombreness at least broken by a splendid - did bit of color , for the speaker appeared for the first time in my recollection In full gorgeous robes. He , wore a black gown richly embroidered with gold lace , a garnet that seemed at once sternly simple and brilliantly rich , and that added greafly to the impressiveness of his handsome and flue figure. Mr. Gully is one of the hand- earnest men who has ever held the oce of speaker of the House of Commons , After considerable pause the speaker rose , - and at once every member was on his feet and then the sergeant-at-arms placing the mace on his shoulder. and the chaplain and attendants tot-med Into procession , followed - lowed by the members of the present and late government and members at the privy council , a dignity frequently bestowed upon a political supporter whom the government dads It impossible otherwise to reward. The Irishmen had resolved to walk by themselves , so as to distinguish their group from the rest. Mr. Dillon was to give thc.m the signal and just as the other members were leaving the house he rose from his' place and the Irish members followed his lead. . 'Fak.a Last Lonic. The procession slowly wended its way to Westminster hail , where the cofn lay , still giving that impression of smallness , remoteness - ness and loneliness In the vast hail. There was a look for a s'cond , as the members passed the coma , hut no pause and slowly but regularly the procession passed on until it got into the open air. Then a great majority - jority of the members put on their bats , but some of the Irishmen , especially those who walked In the drst four with Mr. Dillon. that is , Mr. Blake , Mr. Swift , Mr. McNeill and myself. kept uncovtred throughout as more in accord with the scene of pathos and the solemnity of the occasion. Some few Eoalizh members did the same thing. The crowd pressed close to see the procession - cession as it passed. but. whatever he felt the Londoner held is tongue. The same Impressive. solemn , unbroken silence con- tlnueti. even as the procession wuund Its way. way.The The ceremony In the case of the House of Lords was practically the same. The lord chancellor. ho is speaker of that as- semhly. unlIke. the speaker of the House of Commons , was in undress. He wore hi , ' great wig. The sergeant-at-arms carried the braxen mace , the emblem of royal ana - a thority , and there was the usual retinue of . purse bearer and train bearer and all other omcials that form his little .aurt. The attendance - tendance of the peers was on as great a scale 44 that of the commoners , a wonderful testimony to the universalIty of the grief 1 for Mr. Gladstone , as be wax not a favorite I in that body and his very last speech in the House of Commons was delivered In op- I position to their claims. The pallbearers , who walked on each side of the corn , were perhaps the personages -aba atravted the most attention during the day. The sight of the prince of Wales and his sou and heir doing honor to the leader at the great popular liberal forces was autfl- ICiet3Uy curious to excite comment and curiosity , but. en addition leaders of the tory ' party In both houses of Parliament were joined in the same homage. . a1isLurc .tttrnts .ttrulon. .

A country with such a vast system of class distinction and old instltuuons as England cannot be without picturesqueness. Difference of cuio prevails on even so stu- dlously simple an occasIon as this and 5ev- cml times the eye was caught by the sight-of a beautiful patch of color. Choir boys , dressed in scarlet tunics , gorgeous footmen , with powdered hair ; and other Indications that. this is a land of opulence , maguidasnee and caste ; but the prevalent color was sombre. The abbey was crammed in most parts , though there was no overcrowding. and there was something almost oppressive in those tremendous rows of women. all dressed In the same deep universal black gowns , black jackets , black hats , black feathers. black gloves , while there 'w-as acmething almost like relief In the white suroiices of the ecciesiastics. Through the dim nave the dierent pro- cessiona took their slow , solemn way In due order. The two houses of Parliament faced each other in the galleries erected for the occasIon. and in the spare left between them was the open grave in the floor of the abbey waiting to receive Its illustrious remains. There was something that resembled a great theatrIcal performance In thIs arrangement of the two houses as spectators , In theIr long tler3 of galleries around the grave ; but the sombrenese of colorsthe dim light that came in through the windows. and the hosts of eccieslastics soon banished this Idea , anal the whele ceremonial was solemn and beautiful and worthy in the last degree. In the center arch gallery was the presiding ofilcer and behind him the speaker. Down below one caught slglt of the pall bearers as they stood around the small anti simple coffin. Looking s. lIttle closer you saw a number of figures that you began slowly to recognize as the members of the bereaved family. There was a thrill and a hush. though no spoken exclamation , as tht devoted wife walked to her place on the arms of her two sons. onea parson and rector - tor of the ancestral home at Hawarden , the other , Henry , an East Indian merchant Behind - hind them came Herbert Gladstone. the only one who has adopted a political career. and in his charge were a number of young pen- pie. boys and girls. who 'looked Sweet and touching in their mourning and with their young , ignorant interest to all that was going on. Music Very AiprnprInte. ' The choir of Westrotoster Abbey Is fine at any time , but for t.ni.s occasion epecial preparations bad been nutte and there as a recruiting of the be't . ; tice 1mm eeverai I other choirs of the metriipoli's. The result was universal praise for the beauty , bar- mony and prZecUon Cf music. The se- lecUon of hymns tar the aceasl'a was entirely - tirely ruled by what wrn kanwa. as the tastes of the Grand It ! . Ian himself. It ' was known that Newmrars hymn , 'Praiae to the Holiest In the Highest" was his fa- vents , and accordingly i.hLs hymn found a prominent place In the music of the day. "neck of Ages" was also one of Gladstone's favorites , so much sotiiat _ , he made a Latin translation of It which was printed in the program beside the English words. The musical selections were typical of all such ceremonies , that is to say there was a mix- tare of the inevitable sadness , death and partIng and of the jo founded on the hopes of a blessed immortality. At one time the music tell down to a Low , solemn , tender - der whisper ; then again you heard the trombones resound through the vast build- lag , giving a sense of Sorand exaltation of the final victory over death and corruption that had a most startling and at the same time a most thrilling effect upon the tin- agination. - There was no sermon. It would have been too small in the great proportions of the ceremony and surroundings. The great epistle of Paul with ita final paean of 'vlc- tory over death was read. but the voice of the reader was partial'y ' lost in the vast spaces , and those always impressive words sounded almost weak and intrusive. When the lesson had been read amid the last hymn , "Oh God , Our Help in Ages Past , " had been sun ; , the archtisho , of Canterbury. in his loud and almost harsh yoice , pronounced the final benediction. Then came one of the saddest moments of the day. The widow was supported to the edge of the grave and there she took a last , long look and then was conducted away still on the arms of her two sons. Other relatives - tives followed her example and then most of the members of the two houses of Parlia- inent passed to the side of the grave and looked at the con which lay deep down and which by this time is swallowed up from sight until another grave is built for the surviving partner of that beautiful household. The dead march in Saul and the aiesse Solenneile of Shubert were played as the congregation slowly wended Its way out. The crowds were there and sunshine and the already impatient throb of the great metropolis to resume its feverish hurry life.

As soon as word reached New York the most strenuous exertions were made to secure - cure their release. Otflcial channels were made use of and with their co-operation by the correspondents In Cuba the exchange of prisoners was made. Although the authorities - thorities In Washington communicated with General Blanco in arranging the exchange of prisoners the governor-general of Cuba had to refer the question to the government at Madrid , so that the case of the correspond- - eats and release was taken cognIzance of by the Spanish cabinet .

But no one gave us a word of encouragement. "We were taken through back and unfrequented - frequented streets until we arrived at the headquarters of the clvii guard beside the I governor general's jmlace. There was a fierce mob of people behind us all the time I clamoring for our death. So we were taken I Into the building and given a stronger guard. I When we were taken out to go down to the wharf , which was only a block away , the crowd was almost crazy and the guards had hard work keeping them away from us. They tilt ! their best La frighten us lute shout. log 'S'lve Espano. ' I was glad that Jones could not understand them. He walked along with a cigarette in his mouth and a smile on his face as if he were used to this sort of thing every day. When we arrived at the wharf there was a delay about a boat I for several minutee. "I really thought that the mob would take us away from the soldiers , as it was the faces of the guard were white and the lieutenant. held his sword half down. There is no doubt in our minds , that he , at least , I would have defended us with his lIfe , Finally a. boat came and we were rowed across the entrance of the harbor and conducted - ducted Into Cabanas. As we crossed the moat I pointed out to Jones the place where the prisoners are shot , and he said he guessed that he would stand up there nil right if he had to. We were taken di- redly before General Gcmez de Roberti , icw ho is in command of the fort , and we found him to be one of the kindest hearted old men 'we bad ever met. He saw bow the ropes cut us and ordered them to be taken oW at once , although we had not complained. Our bands were purple and it I was some time before we could feel any- t thing with them. I "Here we parteil with Lieutenant Asln and it was- with sorrow. for he had done everything that he possibly could for us. The general ordered us to be taken to a cell and we were placed in No. 1 , a cell intended for twenty persons. In a short time the general and his aid , Captain Aras , came to see us and ask what we needed. I asked for hammocks , water and food , He gave us permission to buy our food from the prison restaurant , and hammocks were brought ta at once. On our telling htm that our money had becn taken away from us , he said he would fix it all right un- UI we could get money. ' -It was about S o'clock at night and the cautlnero brought us in a good dinner , which we ate with a relish. We were also able. to buy cigars and tobacco from the cautinero and for a while he was allowed to bring us wine , but later that was stopped. Jones asked me If they were likely to shoot us through the bars. I tel , ! him that we need not fear anything like that. So with a 'good night' he rolled over In his hammock and In two minutes he was snoring , and I was not long in following him. Ou the next day the general called on us and told us that our money and papers had been turned over to Sir Alexander GolI I Ian. the British consul general , and that , we could write to him for money. He also gave me permission to write a fr-tend to bring clothing and for him to visit us , I wrote to him the next day to come and also to the consul to send us money. On the day after we received a very kind letter from I Sir Alexander , enclosing money , and my friend , S. I. Plnkey. brought us clothing and money and was allowed to see us. He was given permission to come again next day , but when he came aith things for us be was arrested and put in eloise confinement. although an English subject and was there when we left. This was the work of Chief of Police Pagileu , but what charge they hold again him we were unable to find out. "On the 19th La Lucha published an ar- tide stating that we were to be exchanged , but we could not believe that it was so , because we did not think they would cx- change four men for two , and especially men of their rank. The days passed pretty much the same as in any other prison , and we received no notification that we were to bat exchanged until the morning they brought us away , although the officers had given us several hints to that effect. . Even when we Were on the wharf waiting for the boat. to take us out. to make the cx- change , we could hardly believe t.at it was true. "When we were taken out of our cells by' Lieutenant ida-tinex we were blindfolded and taken first to the general , who wished to bid us good bye. We were glad of a chance to thank him for all his kind faiors. He and the rest of the oflicers wished us all kinds of good luck. Then we were taken blindfolded down to the wharf where , after a delay of about an hour , the gunboat - boat Marquess de Molina came out and picked us up. Officers were on board repre- sentlag the harbor. army , navy and the British consuL All 'cf tbent received us very cordially.
