'c A steftdy fall of rain soaked the prom- fllLIC5 flfld drove the crowd of expoattion jLtors to the welcome 8helter of the bufli- ng and colonnades. But the acres of soft turf and th multi-colored surfaces of the flower beds took on fresher tints and re- oIced In the moisture that played havoc _ . , with the gate receipts. - Considering the conditions that prevailed the number of visitors was quite extraor- ( Hoary. The rain was impending from early morning and It poured during the after- - cflOOfl. . In spite of it there seemed to be nearly as many pcopte on the grounds us on either of the last two days of the Previous - vious week. Hundreds of people even came out in the afternoon , when the rain was falling steadily , and the places that afforded a refuge from the elements were fairly patronized. .t . The advantage of the long colonnades that connect the buildings In the main court was emphasized yesterday. Aside from affordIng - Ing the impression of architectural completion - tion they gave the people an opportunity to see the bulk of the exposition without wet- - . tins their feet or raising an umbrella. Tak- lug advantage of the shelter thus offered the people were able to make almost the complete circle of the main court without discomfort and for those who caine more especially to see the exhibits the absence of sunlight was rather agreeable than other- . .w I se. The concert by the Marine band at 10:30 : attracted the bulk of the morning visitors. The musicians played as though they had a multitude before them nnd the scattered groups around the plaza reciprocated by doing their best to signify their apprecla- tion. The slight rain that fell while the concert was in progress was not sufficient to ( hterfcre with its enjoyment and the heavy cloud that shut off the sun during almost the entire program was an uniniti- gated blessing to those o occupied seats - on the plaza which had no other protection. lnido the buildings where the workmen are busily completing the Installation of the few belated chibims there was the usual activity. Some of the exhibitors work as though they had all summer. and unless they display greater energy they arc likely to be shut out. The first step in this direc. tion was taken yesterday , when Superb- tendent Berlin of the Agricultural building served notice on all exhibitors that not a - . nail should be driven after Nebraska day. Every exhibit must be complete before midnight - night of the prec.ding day , or it wilt be left in the cold. 3Iot of. the exhibits in this department are rnpldiy acquiring per- inanent form , but one or two state corn- missions have practically done nothing but reserve their space. The same date has been set by most of the superintendents as that upon which all work must be corn- Iletel. and it is stated that this ultimatum yIll be enforced to the letter. tltit.SGi ( rlil. 1).VFES FoR lJA $ . iniiA 1)1,1 ienmitsfiji- Special Oeva $1111114 .t ri 111.1 1mm : .ti euiii iuuhiflt& 4i.

After spending some time at the exposition - tion grounds they went directly to South Omaha , where they looked over the new packing plants there. All of the visitors expressed themselves as highly pleased with what they saw at the exposition grounds and at the notable improvements at South Omaha , President liugbitt and Third Vice President McCullough being particularly enthusiastic - thusiastic concerning both enterprises.

The workmen are still putting in additional - tional turnstiles and exits and in a few days the Department of Admissions wilt be prc- pared to handle almost any sort of a crowd ithout inconvenience. It is not expected that this department will be fully tested until Nebraska day , and before that time all the Improvements will be completed and the employee will have had sufficient cx- perience to enable them to work with daub !

An hour's work expended in painting the bridges over the lagoon has made a very perceptible improvement in the appearance of the main court. The bridges are now of the color of the buildings and the dark spot that previously gave a discordant Impression to the view from the end of the lagoon is no longer in evidence. The desirability of exits to Sherman awe- flue from the Midway was emphasized yesterday - terday , when people who wished to leave the grounds from that point were coinpelletl to walk clear around by the main court through the rain. The immense floor of the transportation building is rapidly filling up and It promises to be one of the most interesting exhibts on the grounds. The display of agricul- turai implements includes a number of inventions - ventions that. are comparatively novel.and the railroad exhibit of rolling stock is a very interesting feature. One of the bicycle exhibits commands general interest by showing - ing a rusty wheel which Is alleged to have been the mount of Captain Sigsbee , which was recovered from the wreck of the MaIne by divers.

The wide veranda , extending entirely around the building , is provided with the most Invit- lag wicker chairs and there Is no time dur- lag the day or evening when the greater part of these chairs are not occupied. The interior is also extremely enticing and Mrs. Ilainbieton , the hostess , has such a charm- tag way of making visitors feel entirely at home that the building Is becoming a ren- deavous for people from town who wish to meet friends on the grounds. It has been found necessary to secure a larger register for the use of callers at the building , a book of reasonable size having been completely filled since the exposition opened. Over 200 people registered at the building on Sunday and the appearance of the register would indicate that a goodly section of Illinois is located in this vicinity. Of the people registered since the opening the majority are from Illinois , and Colonel Hambleton , secretary of the commission and custo4ian of the building , says this is only the beginning. lIe promises that the people of Illinois will be the most numerous among the patrons of the exposition , "Our people haven't forgotten how Nebraska stood by our state in the World's fair , " said Colonel liambleton , "and we wili try and reciprocate.

COMPLIMENTS FOR HOBSON Captain 1Iller Slows the I'rnises of the flaring OffIcer Who Sunk time Mi-rrlimac. ( opyrIght. 1 , ti ; 1ress Publishing Co. ) KEY WEST , Juno 6.-New ( York World Cablegram - Special Telegram. ) - Captain Miller of the imlerrimac , now at the bottom of Santiago channel , himself told the story of the sinking o the ship last Thursday morning. Miller up to the last moment cx- pecteil he himself would send the Merrimac to time bottom , , but he is beyond envy of another's bravery and frankly , freely , en- thuslastically told the story of the valor of Assistant Naval Constructor Ilobson and his band of six. "Admiral Sampson , " said Captain Ytiler , "on Tuesday told me he Intended to send the Merrimac to the channel and by SInkIng her bbck it. He told me to pick out my three best men. I picked Diegenan , the best coxswain - swain In the navy ; Phillips , machinist , end Kelly , water tender. The admiral pcked ! three others. I don't know their names or ships. Hobson's plan was confided to me. It had been carefully thought out and was bound to succeed unless Spanish shells sunk the vessel before she reached the channel. The attempt was first to have been made Tuesday night \Vednesday morning. The Mayflower was ordered to pull off the men it they escaped with their lives. The plan was changed , as it was found the Mayflower was too big and conspicuous and her lying close to Morro would put the Spaniards on their guard. So a launch was made rewiy to rescue the men if possible. Wednesday night all was in readiness. Up to the last moment I expected to be with my ship to the last , Admiral Sampson himself caine to the Merrimac in a gig and explained that 1-fobson of the flagship had conceived the plans and the details made it necessary to have Hobson carry out the plans. It was pitch dark that night. As I left the ship I saw tbe band of seven heroes gather above the deck , silent but determined , Not a man expected to see daybreak. I am proud to Sa ) ' that when the news of the 3terrlmncs plan reached the fleet not a man nor omcer but begged and pleaded to be selected for the daring work. And so In the dead of night Admiral Sampson whispered the last instructions - structions to ilobson , shook his hand and put oft with the eyes of the whole fleet on the lead hull of the Merrimac , sv'alting for her b-c move : ' SAVING HOBSON'S ' HOMESTEAD l'npiilnr SiilneriiitItin iii Opened o ItniNe 311)0(3' vitIm ' , VhIeit to I'flOft' time Mortgnge , MOBILE , Ala. , June 6.-M. P. Inge , trustee - tee of the old city debt of Mobile and a former - mer resident of Greensboro , Ala , , has asso- elated with himself J. L. Rapier , publisher of the Mobile Register. and R. V Taylor , auditor of the Mobile and Ohio railroad , in an effort to raise a fund to pay a mortgage upon the home of the heroic Richmond Hob. son at Greensboro. Mr. loge says : "Through honorable misfortune Mrs. Rob- son was forced first to sell part of her homestead property and then to mortgage the rest and has been unable to redeem it , despite the fact that her son faithfully sent his mother all of his pay above the actual maintenance of himself as a cadet since being in the service. " 1 noticed in the Alabama Beacon , pub. lisbed in Greensboro , that this mortgage is advertised for forciosure sale. which will take place on the 15th of this month. Thus this brave hoys mother's home is to be taken from her , no doubt because from his meager naval pay as a naval officer he is unable to lift the debt. "Now young Hobson will doubtless be voted the thanks of congress , together with a sword or a medal , but these will not pay a mortgage and I propose to appeal to the people of the nation to pay off this mortgage - gage and buy back part of the old homestead - stead that has been sacrificed , and that the title shall be In the name of Richmond P. Hobson , where he will find rest with his mother when peace shall bring its blessings to our country. " This purpose was announced this morn- log and although no publication was made contributions came in large numbers to Mr. loge and are still arriving. The First Na- tional-Ilank of Mobile has been selected as depository for the fund. ADMIRE HOBSON'S HEROISM EiiWllsh Ailllritlt' $ have Nothing hilt l'rglINe for the flnrtng YOllli Naval Oliicer.

Fire ship work has always been regarded in the British navy as the most. perilous of all duties and was the only kind of service for which special decoration was conferred in former times. This decoration consisted of a gold chain and jewel to be worn as a mark of honor by an officer and his posterity for the destruction of five Spanish re5sels at St. Tropez bay In the war of the Austrian succession. Though doubts are expressed respecting the effectiveness of the attempt to block the Santiago channel , it is universally recognized that the gallantry - lantry of Ilobson and his men sheds the highest lustre on the American navy and people.

HOW SPAIN WOULD SETTLE I. ro I , o. i t I o U Co iii t's en ii ghi I' rim ii v e Outliiiliig- the CIiliitIIIN for Ileingi hg .t liolit Peitce. ( Copyright , lS4S ! , by Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , June G.-New ( York World Ca- blegram-Speclai Telegram.A ) report is prevalent in the lobby of the House of Commons - mons tonight that France is again actively sounding the European powers as to the advisability of offering mediation to term.i- nate the war , The basis of negotiations proposed tentatively by France for Lord Salishurys opinion is. understood to be as follows : - Spain is to acknowledge the independence of Cuba. retaining nominal suzerainty seas as to include sovereignty of the island being voluntarily ceded to any other state ; a period of six months to fib accorded Spain for the withdrawal of its troops and give time to those Spaniards who object to remain - main under the new regime to leave ; the Philippines to be restored to Spain with certain guarantees for improvement of the internal government of the islands ; nothing to be said of indemnity to the United States. Looking at the ternis as a whole it is easy to believe the statement that Sails- bury declined to take any part in advancing - ing them. The minatory tone of the Rue- sian semi-official press and the specific threat of Novoe Vremya that America's lengthy coast lines afford the opportunity for a combination of even second rate naval powers to harrass bet is understood to be Russia's way of preparing ground for these remarkable proposals , which though ostensibly - sibly formulated by Hanotaux , are regarded as emanating really from Madrid through Castillo. Dukes' opinion on them was : "The United States would not consider such proposals. They are ridiculous. Washington cannot consent to the slightest vestige of Spanish rule remaining in Cuba nor will the Philippines - pines be surrendered. The whole scheme appears to me absurd and the terms noth- lag like those on which peace will eventually be arranged. " Other authorities concur in this view , ml- though it is sugested that. France. acting in behalf of Spain , would in the first instance - stance put forward very much less than It was really prepared to concede. But the important fact is that Spain is undoubtedly feeling its way to end the war. Ceri'era's helpless position , Dewey's command of the Philippines , the unreadiness of the reserve squadron and the country's financial ruin are held to constitute four conclusive SpanIsh - Ish arguments for peace. The Standard's flerlin dispatch says : I hear from very good source that Spain has not sued for mediation , still lees for peace. It has had no opportunity of doing so of late , ( or those of tlme great powers which perhaps wish to mediate seem resolved - solved not to move unless invited by both belligerents , The Standard's Vienna dispatch says : An article in the St. Petersburg Novosti , speaking - ing upon the moral side of time dispute and calling on America to submit its pretensions to a judgment of the powers and threaten- lag it with the united fleets of two or three of the great powers , is resented here as a piece of effrontery.

Most of the telegrams claim that the sunken vessel does not completely obstruct the channel , All official telegrams are carefully worded , leaving doubt whether the Merri- mac was sunk by Spanish ; orpedoes or American , The occurrence has been mnag- nified into a splendid victory , proving that the Spaniards are able to repel Sampson , Schley and the Cubans. Not only the jingo press in Madrid but even ministerIal papers - pers z.zmd conservative organs pipe the same tune regardless of consequences and heedless - less of the fact that popular feeling Is thus made more refractory to all suggestions cI penee.
