Aside 1rpm the ceremonies connected with the formal dudlcatioii of the Kansas building - ing the feature at the day was the presence of the children who were admitted at a nominal rate. As the day was more particularly - ticularly for the benefit of the children of Council Bluffs , South Omaha , an ( ithoso of Douglas county outside of Omaha most of theni were a little late in arriving and the real childrcns crowd was not in evidouco until afternoon.

" LAST 1VlNiNG AT 'i'iII GIIOUNI)14 , ( iritiL l"vnt Sif Sung in ( he Open Air EIiJ'Sl by Mssny. A great feast of song iii the open aIr , before - fore an audience of 1,000 people , seated amidst the classic beauties of the Main court , with the spectacular effect of red fire reflected from the gleaming , walls of the stately buildings and the rippling sur- taco of the lagoon , gave the exposition an appearance of brightness and festivity which tar exceeded the usual air of gaity which pervades these beautiful precincts when the soft twiiight fades from the west- era sky and the inyriads of electric lights shed their effulgent gleam from cornice , dome and pinnacle. The announeer2lent that the famous Apollo Musical club of Chicago , augmented by the Exposition chorus of Omaha , was to sing in the open air on the island in the lagoon 'was ' snmcient hint to ( lie music loving pub- lie of Omaha and the surrounding country that a great treat was in prospect. The concert was announced to commence at 8:30 : o'clock , but as soon as the sludes of evening tell the people commenced to as- sembho in the Main court. waiting with an air of oxpentancy for the nightly spectacle which accompanies the turning on of the electric lights. All noints about the Main court have their advocates among tho'o who extol the advantnges of their particular spot as the best from which to view the scene as the lights are lighted. Some prefer the east end of the court among the curving colonnades , while others prefer to sit on the steps of the Government building and survey - vey the scene from that point ; those who assert that the space in the vicinity of Twentieth street is the most advantageous point are euually nulnerouH , and so it happens - pens that the people are scattered as they sit waiting or walk showly about impatiently - tiently awaIting the moment ' when the growing darkness shall be dispelled. Strong as was the attraction announced to occur on the island in the center of the lagoon last night , it was not strong enough to lure the nightly visitors front their ta- vorito SPOtS and the exclamations of delight - light which invariably greet the coming of the light wore more forcible than usual. The concert comniencecl shortly after the Main court was illuminated and the people loft their points of vantage to gather near the bridge at Twentieth street in order to enjoy the concert to the utmost. The singers were seated on the crest of the nohi bridge , being about ten feet above the level of the spectators seated on the wide walks between the lagoon and the main hiuildlngs. Two hundred members of the Apollo club , both men and women , and the 100 members of the xposition chorus constituted a chorus which could scarcely be excelled in point of excellence. The brass section of the Thomas orchestra serveil as the instrumental portion of the organization and Director Tomlins of the Apollo club controlled the body with the skill of a master. No attempt was made to sing any classical - cal music or any set pieces. but , on the contrary - trary , the program w s made up of folk- songs of every description , "the kind everybody - body kflows , ' ' as one appreciative auditor hiut It. The stirring war songs of the re- hellion , "Annie Laurie , ' ' 'The Knight's Farewell , " "DieVncht am Rhein , " "Abide with Me , " and many more of the same chinracter macla up an evening of song which touchcd the hearts of the people and tIm frequent outbursts of applause , coupled with the intense silence during the singi.ng , told inoro forcibly than words the uppre- ciation of the audience for the entertainment - mont afforded. When the concert was almost concluded a signal was given and almost instantly the entire main court wa ablaze with rcl light. At intervals of about fifty feet nil around the lagoon were nlaced high poles with. colored fIre attached. Each alternate I polo bore a red light and the intervening lights were blue. The effect of this colored lighting was-beautiful In the extreme. The white walls of the buildings reflected the colors and the result was a scene which surpassed in beauty the magnificent effect of tile electric lighting. Cheers and shouts of delight greeteil the sight ami luany cx- pressions of admiration were heard on every side. \Vhile the People were still admiring the scene stirring strains of "The Star Spangled - gled hianner" rose upon the air and the audience cheered and applauded , many join- log in ( lie singing. ' 'America" followed anti again. the audience mauifcated its enthusiastic - thusiastic approval , while the volune of sound was swelled Into a mighty anthem as ( lie grea ( crowd jniiied with heart and voice in a imean of praise which mounted unfettered to ( ho clear bijie vault of the heavens. The concert of the Apollo club will take lace ( lila afternoon at the Auditorium instead - stead of this evening. as originaihy pr- ranged. This course was made necessary by the fact that the club vIll leave for Chicago on the evening train , The concert wIll commence at 2 o'clock , the program including selections frotii the "Messiah' ' and "The Swan and the Skylark.

Re used the wide circulation of El lunpar- cial at foreign agencies to float his program - gram , which has fallen quito too flat in Spain except among advanced Catholics and Carlists to give Canoe any chance of mak. ing a show in Spanish pohitic. A promi- neat Spanish general toils me : "First it. is necessary for such tremendous defeats to take place in the Philippines and \Vest Indies as would make it possible for a violent popular military movement in Madrid - rid and Barcelona to sweep away not only the existing government , but the regency and the present monarchy. Thea a. pro-f visional and probably a republican govern- meat headed by Castelar with all repub- henna and a few liberals would soon be confronted - fronted by formidable Carhist risings in north central and eastern Spain , backed by the churches , friars and Jesuits , Civil war would result , which would he long an l bloody , but it is almost certain that eyentu- ally both republicans anti liberals would unite to assist the army , navy , middle classes , socialists and working classc to' defeat the Carhists. A reaction is equally dreaded by all the modern elements of the Spanish nation. Never In our history havd our towns or our middle classes joined Car- hism. Some otflcers zay desert to iio pretender - tender , but our army is essentially antL- Carlist. " Iouu Carlos IN CnuutIouaN , NEW YORK , June 22.-fl , it. do la Cor- tine , who is the accredited agent in the United States of Don Curios , pretender to the throne of Spain , has returned to this country from Europe. Although of Spanish birth , Senor Cortina is a naturalized citizen of the United States. Senor Cortina told a representative of the Herald that the eb- ject of his trip to Europe was to meet Don Carlos in lirussels. Ia this respect , ho said , his trip was successful. i-Ic declared that. the crown of Spain six weeks ago was offered to Don Caries and was refused , Don Carlos preferring not to take upon himself the responsibility of directing Spain's affairs in the present crisis. Senor Corna was asked for particuiars , but ho refused to reveal the source of thu tender. He said he had absolute orders front his chief to preserve secrecy. All he would say was that the tender was thade by an agent of one of the largest and most iniluential political organizations of Spain. It was made , he said , in the presence of Senor Cortina and Don Caries' private see- rotary and was accompanied with the us- surance of strong niihitary support. "Don Carlos refused to take the throne at present , " said Cortiuia , "as any sensible man sould have done. The people in control - trol now have committed a colossal blunder in engaging in this war and he will not be involved in it. They must settle it themselves - selves and when Spain is beaten and hu- mihiated Don Curios rill step in and head the work of reconstruction. "The management of the- war has been pitiful. The Cadiz fleet goes out. comes In again , and once more starts. No one knows where it is going and I do not believe the naval authorities themselves do. Montejo is abandoned to his fate in the Philippines and Cervera left without aid in Santiago. There is no sign of adequate preparatioti for war and Spain's bravo sailors and soldiers are sent to their death by incompetent rulers at home. Veyier Not us Carhist , "Weyier is not a Carhist-ho is simply a Weylerist , and is not. great enough to lead a party. lie belongs to no party and is waiting to see who will take control of affairs before tendering his partisanship.

First Sagpsta' was a republican and then a monarchist. When Don Carlos reigns Sagasta will be found seeking favor from thc now kng , " Tluat ( lie next step in th evolutibn of the Spanish government will be a ropubhic , Is the opinion of Senor Cqtina. "Vhen It is known Don CarIes will not return at present , " he said , "the p ople will turn to republicanism , for they Inust get rid of the Present dynasty. But thu. rep hhtc will not last. The republicans are diyid d ineo seven or eight factions and have no great leaders , Castelar , the lender of one of the actlons , has brains but no force.
