'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.

After spending some time at the exposition -

expressed themselves as highly pleased with
what they saw at the exposition grounds
and at the notable improvements at South

President McCullough being particularly enthusiastic -
thusiastic concerning both enterprises. The
party returned to Chicago last evening at

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 ! ' ,

ing ( lay.
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 Illinois building is becoming the
greatest favorite on the grounds. 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 : '

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.

intrepid heroism has evoked warm admiration -
tion hero. 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.

blegramn-Special Telegram-Although ) a
majority of the newspapers this evening
pretend to read in Sampson's version of the
sinking of the Merrimnac an attempt to exPlain -
Plain his loss under cover of a strategic
stroke it Is generally regarded In military
and naval circles that his version is the true
one and that by action reminding tilem of
Farragut's audacity of almost unexampled
boldness he has succeeded in inflicting a
heavy blow on the enemy.

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.

-No better Illustration can be found of the
situation 'in Spain than the impresalons
caused b the Merrimnac affair at Santiago.
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. I must say , however , that many peo-
Pie In the higher classes lament that the
illusions are kept up by Irresponsible 'ress '
agitators , They fear the natural reaction
and disappointment that the awakening .ilI
bring on then the stern , inevitable moareb
of events scatters to the winds the castles
built In the air.
