In order to satisfy 1,300 hungry soldiers the
women viI1 be obliged to contribute liberally.
In the afternoon the soldiers will be left

the attentions of their friends and rein-

several of the managers have even written
to Colonel Bryan to extend to himself and
regiment the hospitality of their resorts.
There Is some doubt whether the regimental
officers will allow the men to remain on the
grounds until after the fireworks , as while
the occasIon will lie a sort of holiday for
1 the men. they will still be under discipline ,
' ' 'which looks with little Savor on into hours ,
This matter will he left to time tliscretioq

There is one point In time Agriculture

- t a part of time Minnesota exhibit. From
early morning militti late at night a crowd
tnnds about the iron railing wblch vre-
serves a small open space within which
a vonmahi sits at a table immaking "real lace. "
This woman represents an industry of Mm-
nsota which is little known outside of the
section in which is situated the town of
New 13mm. a ( ernman settlement in time south
central portion of the state having a popu-
Itaion of about 10,000.

slon for old and youimg anti the little girls
learn time acemingly Intricatu work at. a
tender age , nctiirIng a facility which Is
bewildering to those uninitiated In the art.
Time woman in the Minnesota exhibit was
Procured by Mrs , Olberg , superintendent of
the flax exhibit , to ilustrate this little
kilowil art of the state nntl the attention
which the woman receives is evidence of time
Immtcrest which is taken in industries of this
nature. Like immost of thu oiier inhabitants
of New Ulm , time woman eanimot speak or
understand a vord of English amid the great
immajority of time visitors who congregate
about are unable , to talk with her , but a
comparnttvely large number of the visitor8
are able to converse in German and the
lace maker nhmows her enjoyment of the op.
portunity for talking by cplaining the
work.
The lace is made on a cylindrical cushion
about one foot in Iengtii anti clx Inches
Iii dianmeter , This rcst In a. base which
keeps it stationary and the lace Is formed
about the periphery of time cylinder. A
number of Lulls are tituck in the cusbiop

threads are contained in bobbins vhichm

time same time time lace is growing anti
icwiltlering patterns appear on th4 cushion

weaves his trap for the unwary fly.
Time patterns of lace turned out by this

of the macthong of the bands and the whirl-
lug of time bobbins , A pattern four inchcs
in witlth is turned out at the rate of about
one yard per day under favorable circumu-
fitancee. As fast as a mattern of lace Is
completed It Ii ; placed on exhibition and
another pattern is tarted. The number of
different designs which are contained in the
head of the ormerator seem to be without
limit anti the collection is beginning to its-
slime formidable proportions. The lace is
not for sale , the purse of the exhibit
being simply to Illustrate the Industry.

The resources amid the future of Texas

by the members of time San Antonio amid

mment hart in working up exposition cim-
timusiastn iii time Lone Star state , participated
In the proceedings. It. bad been originally
intended to have a lug meeting with brass
banti accompaniment and other Incidentals ,
lint time Texas people very sensibly concluded
to lmostpone their big denmonstration until
after harvest. when there were more farm.
ers on time groimntis , and last night's sessloit
was a purely informal but. very Interesting
affair.
I'residcnt Charles Peterson of time Im-

that. they tcre timere for time purpose of

people of Texas to come to time exposition.

coimmiimg time greatest state In the union. lie

sources by a number of pertinent corn-
itarlsons , anti draw a viviti word picture of
its immrvelous fertility and promise.
Secretary Thomas Itlchardson of time Btisl-

parteularly of his state in its relations to

her in which time Texnns wimo had visited
tlm grotmmmds imad been captivated by time
mnagniflcent spectacle that they imad witnessed -
nessed , and declared timat thousands of timeir
fellow citizens would follow them to Omaha
during the sumnmer. Texas constituted one-
sixth of the entire tranamlssissippi tern-
tory , anti no state , not even Nebraska , is
more vitally Interested In the success of
the exposition.

eximeniemuco in assisting to secure the means
wIth which to provide the Texas exhibit and
then coimtrlbtmted a recitatiqn that was cx-
ceptionally well rentiered atmtl warmly applaud -

A very Interesting feature of time evening
was the imresentatlon to Miss Elsie Asmus
of Norfolk , Nob. , of a imaadsome gold medal
as a temmtiimmommlal of her honorary membership -
ship 1mm the Immmmigration association. Miss
Asnmus was visiting iii Texas thea time ques.

with a subscrIption of $20 , besides which
she afterward raised $100. Tue medal was
presented In recognition of her emmtimusiastic
assistaimce by the people of Texas.
Short speecimes were made by ex-Governor
Sauntiers anti otimers , and time meeting ended
with a short social session.
During yesterday afternoon time Texas
people heil a reception at their booth in
the ignIctmltunumi building , where they were
visited by a large number of friends and
general visitors. Ex.Governor Saunders rendered -
dered valuable assistance in this ftmnctiomm

Timero Is no question that time stmrrender

Santiago forces to Spain is also commended
as a. brilliant expPdient for dcnliimg with
what must have been an awkward problenm.
The return to Spain of this large hotly of its
best soldiers , defeated anti disarnmcd , will
servo as an object lesson to the Spaniards
that their soldiers are as incapable as their

There are emi time islnmmrl of l'orto Rico 17-

amid volunteers. They are mostly located
about Saim Juan. Timere are enougim of themmi ,
however , to offer serious tiiscourngememmt to

likely progrenm will be for time war ships

American forces which it may be necessary
to send to Cuba later for time investment of

and away ahead of the yellow fever , malaria ,

Yesterday before the splemmdimi news of

Miles went down the line of the American
troops through a pouring rain. I accomum-
paaied hmimn on his journey. We saw amen
bivouacked who uvero wet to the skin but
ready to fight. We arrived at a point where
Santiago was less than a amiic away. We
could see the Spanish troops in time tremuchea
surrounding time eastern anti southern ap.
preaches to the town. They were bailing
out water that ran knee deep. General
Miles turned to toe nmmd saiti :
"I am comm'inced 'n.e will have Santiago
before many days. I hope we will get it
without further sheddhmmg of blood. The
loss of life already imas beemi great and
disease ivlli increase it. "
, ,
\'ili you remain here , general , after
time capture of Santiago ? "
"I do not think so , " was time reply. "I
will stay , of course , mmntil the surrender or
capture of the town , but I will then go on , "
"Will yotm go back to Washington ? "
"No , I hope not until the uvar is over.
