The installation of the remaining exhibits
in the Mines buiiding is progressing with
satisfactory rapidity and new wonders are
being added to the collection every twenty-
four hours. CommIssioner Iay says that
unless the exhibit Is an absolutely complete
exponent of the mincra resources of the
western country he will consider his efforts
a failure and ho don't propose to fail. To
carry out his idea of the scope of such an
exhibit will involve a continual activity Until -
til the exposition closes. It is not proposed
to be satisfied with showlmmg everything that
Is material up to unto , but any new dlscov-
cry that occurs during the summer will be
utilized mit once for the exposition. If a new
and valuable ruby should be discovered , it
will be headed at once for Omaha and cx-
tensive arrangements have been made to
secure time benefit of any discoveries that
may be made ( luring the SeaSon in Alaska ,
the iCiOfllike or any other region of mineral
importance in the west.
This will result in giving the exposition
a number of mineral features that will be
absolutely new to the entire world. For in-
stance. two days ago a method vas discovered -
ered of making a mineral by artificial
momma that had never been previousiy pro-
( IUCCII except by the work of nature. 4r-
rangements were immediately made to II-
lustrate the discovery at the exposition and
time first public exhibition of the method
will be given In the Mines building. Dr.
Day has not been given permission to disclose -
close In advance the name of the mineral
that is to be produced , but as the materials
that are used consist exclmmslvely of dried
herring and pine wood. local mimieralogists
will have an opportunity to guess at it
ttwimllc.

The material that arrived yesterday included -
cluded two assignments of gold nuggets from
time iCiondiko. Among them was one huge
lump four inches long and two thick that
is probably one of the largest pieces of solid
gold that was ever mined In any part of time
world. ft was taken from the first opening
nude Omi Bonanza creek , one of the tributar-
lea of the lCiondike river that have recently
becomne famous , and It is recognizable at a
glance by time brassy color that characterizes -
izes the liondike gold. This feature of the
exhibit will include nuggets from every
camp that has been developed in Alaska and
also specimens of gold quartz from the great
Treadwell tallies on Douglas Island mmear
Juneau. The latter will be accompanied by
pictures of the mills , samples of the free
gold and the low grade quartz that abounds
there in almost limlties profusion and an
exhibit of the methods by which this low
grade ore is reduced. This will be Interest-
lag as an illustration of the Inexpensive
methods that have been devised to handle
this grade of quartz at a profit.
Time citizens of Juneau mire tathmig a tremendous -
mendous interest in time exposition and

servo to illustrate the difference in the
character and appearance of the deposits iii

the complete showing of Alaskan gold , there
will be samples from all time other gold pro-
ilimeing regions imi order to show time differ-

in Petite Revue lnternationabo for one of
which Castelar's enemies demand his Pros-
ectutlon for high treason are :
"I am bound to say time court biterferes
tiangeroumuly with political affaIrs and has
gravely compronmised itself by ituterven-
tions hot consonant with ts cimaracter
and right. Time role of freedom ( roam respon-
sibihity is one which a regent comm only pos.
seas when the courtiers have mmotlming to do
with the decrees of the ministers and the
laws of parlianmentary assemblies. In these
directions the regent has transgressed both
in letter and spirit of the constitutiomu ,
thereby depriving parliamentary immstltuUoums
of their itroner eiflcncy anti in regulmmtimmg
tlmc affairs of state the regent has obtaimmeti
the mediation of the pope without mmulnis-
terinl authorization , arm encroacimmemut cmi time
constitutional rights of her advisers anti
creating a precedent full of danger ( or good
government. Again , the regemmt has displayed
open preference for Polavleja over Weyler ,
wimeretmy the policy and efforts of the latter
were puralyzcd , instead of being given a
fair trial. An instance of time regent's Unwarrantable -
warrantable interference was her action to
bring about interference of foreIgn powers
at Washington and secure an armistice at
any once. Snain should not treat witim foreign -
eign powers except Umrough her ministers. "
Timen Castelar compares the regent to
Marie Antoinette , calling her "The Austrian -
trian , " anti suggests that she should hmammd
over the reins to bufanta Isabella , her sis-
ter.in-law.
t'htiuulttm tiu Caunmlgmt.
Great iwessure is being put upon the gov-
crnnment by the btCSS to send to Mmimmila
either Admiral Cervera's squadromm or the
reserve fleet at Cadiz. Elgimt thousand macmm
and six batteries could be embarked within
twenty-four hours at ports in the soutlm of
Spain , But the governnment. hesitates to
emmti an expeditiomm so late , wimemi Macrican
reinforcements frotmu CalIfornia are likely to
forestall any Spammisim relief.
Time gorernmuent expects that events iim
ammtl about Cuba will soon give atm aggressive
turmm to the course of time war. It looks for
either a banding or defeat of time Amnericaims.
This is confidently counted upon , as a sigmmal
reverse to tue Spanisim troops or Adnmiral
Cervera's sqtmadromm will make it easier for
AmerIca to adopt tactics most disastrous for
Spain , a blockade of Cuba and Porte Rico ,
while waiting ( or the cmiii of the rainy sea
son , by which time both Islands would be
short of irovlslons , Time only drawback to
this plan of campaign for the Americans
would be time fact. that this waiting gnuiic
would Increase time great sufferIngs of the
rocommeentrados and insurgeimts. Spain hopes
that knowledge of this distress will drive
time United States to premature action ivith
insufficiently organized forces ,
LONDON , June 4.-TIme Madrid corre-
sponient of the Tiumes says :
"Time goverimment is believed to have
