By a very 1ectsvo vote yeRtcrlay the floaril of IIrcctors adopted a rcsoltitlon ted d bare the gates of the 'rrnsrnIssssppI and International exposition open on the next two Sundays at reduced rnte , On Sunday , I July 21 , and Sunday , July 31 , the price of admiaston wIll be 25 cents for adults and 15 centi ; fet children. On ThurBday evening , July 28 , the same prices viil prevaIl. This long step in the direction of reduced rates \vas taken after the Hitchcock resolution for an investigation of the executive corn- mittee had been disposed of. For the Hitch- cocic resolution Director \'harton brought I \ . . in a substitute , which provides for an audit- , _ 4 log committee of five , to which committee ' V , j11 fail the duty of periodically Inspecting I the books , auditing the accounts and cx- ( amtning into all the nets of all the omccrs i and employcs of the 1xposItion nssociation. This was not. what Mr. Hitchcock wanted , and ho very PlainlY said so , but the direct- era seemed to think the plan an excellent one for they adopted it Just after Mr. Hitchcock - cock had made an Impassioned demand for ts rejection. The Hitchcock resolution , by the way , is dead. This morning the delegates to tim annual ' L convention of the National Fisheries society , will visit the exposition and spend the day , ) ' In the inSlCCtl3fl of Its attractions. While . their headquarters will be at the fish cx. , hibit In the Government building there will , . be no format celebration of their presence. ' This Is in accorlance with tlio wish of most of the delegates , who protor to spend their day on the grountis in sightseeing without formalities. Superintendent Conway of the government fish exhibit has arranged to have a particu- , . , laily interesting display in the aquarium for the occasion , and any further recognition of the visit vl1i bo confined to a general effort - fort on the part of exposition omcials to see 'that their guests have every facility for seer - r lag the show. , During the next two weeks a special effort . will be made to bring patronage to the ox- poslUon by a series of Lnteresting musical features which pro1nis to add dc id dly to the popularity of the evening concerts. The crowd that turned out Tuesday night to hear the fantasle , "From Battlefield to 1'ire- &ido , " wa a grateful indication that the efforts of the management along this line arc fully appreciated. The yellow badges of the Minnesota cx- , cursioaists were again in evidence on the grounds yesterday morning. The visitors were largely occupied Wednesday by the formal celebration and the various enter- tainuients that followed it , but yesterday they were free to spend their time In seeing the show. Most L of thorn find the time altogether too limited I to appreciate it fully and many declare them- 4 solves for another visit later In the season. , J , General Manager Ciarkson has announced ; 3. a number of additional speciol days during ' , . / _ , \ the next two months. August 19 will be I I devoted to the Interests of the colored people and an appropriate celebration wiil be provided - vided for. The Congress of White and Colored Americans and the National Persona - sona Liberty league will meet in Omaha August 17 to 19 , and these are expected to I bring a large attendnco of prominent colored people. nxcursjoas will also be ar- tanged from Kansas City and other southern points with a view to bringing together a large and representative gathering of the race. p Wisconsin day ha been definitely fixed on Tuesday , September 13. Chairman John - C. Koch of the Wisconsin cornmissioii as- nures Major Ciarkson that interest in the event Is becoming general throughout the state and that there is every indication ¶ its pCOllO wIll turn out a big crowd if favor- flblo railroad rates nie provided. In accordance with the wish of the Denver people , their day has been designated as October 20 and arrangements ore already In progress to secure a low railroad rate. Dcnvr promises to sefll ( down a large ro vortlnn of Its population on that occasion. Lanil as It will be one of the Inst big dayH of the exposition a special effort will be made to celebrate it in a maimer that will lully satisfy the expectations of the Den. verltes. . Tue date for the celebration of Indian day .was also decided on yesterday afternoon. It vilI be August 1 and it is expected that all the Indians who are to participate in the Indian congress will be on the grounds by that time. The occasion will Introduce one of the most novel and interesting features that any exposition has ever offered and the celebration will be somewhat elaborate , The details are yet to be determined , but will be announced in a few days. , 110,1'JL IltI1i $ llCClSSF't1X4 , tHhiIllLuIIni CdIII(1'V ( oh lit' ( rand Court un . rtls 10 Itnveiiit1. , , , ' Last evening at the exposition grounds fi novel and interesting musical performance took 1)10cc under the direction of Thomas .3 , Kelly , superintendent of music , which consisted of numbers by Phinney's United t3tates band , stationed in front of the Liberal Arts building , and the 1xposltion chorus , seated upon the platform at the tI 'water's edge at the east end of the lagoon , 'rho Exposition chorus sang without ac. h companiniont and was conducted lp I1r , 1 ! The first number was the overture to )1 ) ' "Sernirainide , " by Itossini , played by the % band , it was followed by the wcii known . , , I hymn , "Abide Witl Me , " music by Monk , sung by the Exposition chorus , The next I t number was a transcription of the "i'll- f jriLna' Chorus" as it occurs in the third U act of 'Tannbauser , " by Wagner , played ( " by the band. This was followed by a pot- i pourri of Scotch melodies by the band , a I 8iciilan "Vesper hymn" by the chorus and ¶ the ballet music from "Faust , " by Gounod , by the band , The second part opened by an antiphonal selection , " ) idesto Fideles , " better known as the "Portuguese hymn , " This began with the band Announcing the tune in grand , sonorous tones that were truly in. apiring. The met chord had hardly died t..E9r9 9 29 ! 9 ? tLt were heard , almost like an echo , singing the verse. At its close the hand played the melody onte more and closed with the plagle Amen ; it was Immediately fol. loWel by the chorue singing the "Amen. " This was certainly a stroke of genius and the affect was magical. The other numbers on the program wore a fantasic efltitiod , "OItl I'entucky Home , " by the band ; the negro hymn , 'Steal Away , " by ( be chorus , and "The Star SprtngleI I3anner , " by the band. A more perfect evening for an butdoor musical performance cannot be conceived and the Grand Court , with its brilliant liiuminations and glistening triumph of nr- chitecture , enhanced the effect of the music with an artistic fitness of things which no opera house in the world may hope to excel. The band and chorus were a little too far alart for one to hear both to advantage from any one place , and the result was a procession of people moving to and fro , as one or the other organization took part in the program. The singing of the chorus was thoroughly commendable , and the shadIng - Ing showed careful drill. At times the soft effects were not audible to these at any great distance , but this defect can easily be remedied and doubtless will be , as cx- poricnco demonstrates how far the voices carry distinctly with a given degree of power. These outdoor musical performances bid fair to become very popular , and ore surely very entertaining. New features can easily ho added by which variety wilt result and continued interest be maintained. It Is to be hoped that hereafter hawkers of photographs - graphs and oilier obnoxious disturbers of the pence may be banished from the Grand Court. Their presence last evening was the only blemish upon an entertainment as uiilue as it was artistic and pleasing. 1)IItICTOItS 1)0 UUC1I UUSINESS , Xsinio nh .tiiIiiig Coinniitte& nnl I'm- % .III ( . 'I'Irce Iiiys or Liv % , liulptia , After two unsuccessful attempts to secure a quorum the Board of Directors met again yesterday afternoon with the required nurn- ber present and several to spare. It disPosed - Posed of the question of the investigatIon of exposition affairs by the election of a cotn- Inlttee of five with full power to audit all accounts and investigate any charges of nay character thnt might be made against 0111- dais or employee ; took a decided stand in favor of a reduced admission and decided to co-operate with the Department of Transportation - portation in an effort to secure more liberal rates from tile railroads. The question of Investigation occurred on the resolutions introduced by U. M. Hitchcock - cock and C , S. Montgomery at a previous meeting. TIm hitchcock resolution alleged that serious charges were being circulated against the management of the exposition and vrovided that a committee should he appointed to conduct an investigation. That introduced by Mr. Montgomery was a substitute - stituto which practically contemplated a 'ioto of confidence In the management Instead - stead of the investigation demanded , The result was that both these were effectually disposed of by the directors against the opposition - position of Mr. Hitchcock. Mr. Montgomery took the floor to say that ho had changed his mind since his resolu. tion wns introduced. Ho declared that a vote of confidence could be secured at any time , as he was positive that the directors had full confidence in the executIve corn- mittee. But so much bad been sait that ho did not wish to stand In the. eof an investigation if a majorIty of the directors wished it. Ho asked leave to w1tbdrav the resolution but Governor Saunders , who see- ended it , objected. Ho said that ho had not seen any reason to change his mind and ho still believed that the Hitchcock res- olutlon was entirely uncalled for. He finally consented to the withdrawal of the resolution in order to admit nnotlier substitute - stituto which was offered by John C. Whar- ton. Pertnnneiit iit1LtIiig Coninilttee. Mr. Wharton's resolution provided that a permanent commIttee of five directors , none of whom should be executive officers or members - bers of the executive committee , should be appointed to revise and audit the accounts of the exposition. This committee to have authority to employ one or more expert accountants - countants and stenographers and to have access - cess to all records or information that it liCedCI and to report the result of its in- vestigatlons to the board. He stated that this resolution covered the whole process contemplated by the Hitchcock resolution , but did not convey any reflection on anyone before the facts had been ascertained. It was purely a business proceeding , and it was the right way to go about it. He deciared that lie lied perfect confidence In the morn- hers of the executive committee , but. ho could not say as much with regard t some of the men it had in its employ. So much had been said in various quarters that it WflS ft duty that the board owed to the public , to the executive committee and to itself to order a thorough investigation and secure the facts. At this Juncture Mr. hitchcock suddenly discovered that ho didn't want an investiga- Lion so very much after all. Ho proceeded to register a vigorous objection to the resolution - lution , which , ho declared , would create too much machinery. ho proceeded to contend at seine length that this committee ought to renort to the board. and his attention was ( hireCtetI to the fact that that was precisely what the resolution provided for. Then he took another tack and alleged that ho did not object to the resolution Itself , but to having it. substituted for his own resolution. Ono lrovldd ) for an Investigating committee - tee and the other for an auditing committee , and it was impossible to combine the two as was contemplated by the substitute resolution - tion , Several members called attention to the fact that tlio auditing was a very essential incident to the investigation and after some additional nod vehement protest by Mr. hitchcock the Wharton resolution was ( ( mended by the Insertion of the word "in- vestigation" In the designation of the com- inittee , end adopted by 21 to 0 , After some discussion it determined to select the committee by ballot and the following directors wore elected : John C. Wharton , Thomas Kilpatrick , H , C , Price , C. W. Lyman and George 11. Payne. W , N. Ilabcock moved that the committee be instructed to convene within three days and remain in continuous session until its vork was completed , but this was voted ( IOWa at the request of members of the corn- inlttee , who stated that it was entirely Un- eccssiry as the conunittee would act with all possibu promptitude. vIti Jlnvt the IiiI1eN hieui , John L. Webster moved that hereafter the minutes of the proceedlngs of the cx- ecutive committee should be read before the hoard of Directors as a part of the proceedings of the board. 1e declared that the direetois were iiot sufflciently familiar with the manner n which the tnanagernent of the exposition was carried on , They tralisacted no business of Importance at their meetings because they had very little to do with exposition affairs. That Is the reason it is so ditlicult to inthico them to attend , and he believed that if they were Permitted to have a more thorQugh knowledge - edge of what I. going on there would be lb further ditheulty. Thu motion carried without opposition. A resolution by Mr. Kilpatrlck provided Li ! IILES FINALLY GETS A\VAY \ Ton Thousand Soldiern Are Now on Thdr Way to Porto Rico. THEY HAVE STRONG CONVO R SHIPS - ; I Wnr Iepnrnicnt l Pal 'e. s areil to 1'tirniili Alt ll , 1c sIred to Dris , ' tli SIsn froits the lii - WAS1I1NGTO , July 21 1 Miles , leading the military expedi St I'orto Ilico , started at 3 o'clo fternoon from Siboncy , Cuba , for n liul t on the Island of I'orto Rico where it is the intention - tion that the troops shall land. It is cx- pected General Miles will wait at some appointed - pointed PIflee for the troops from the north to fall into his column. These expeditions are under way , some of them wills two or three ( lays' start of General Miles , so that the delay should not be very great. After all the difilculty about the naval convoy , and the first conclusion of the naval authorities that none was necessary , the strength of that now furnished is surpris- log. There Is a battleship of the first class , the Massachusetts ; an effective protected cruiser , the Cincinnati , a speedy and well armed gunboat , the Annapolis , and four vessels of the auxiliary navy which have already - ready proved by their performance in Cuban waters that they are fully equal to the ordinary gunboat In offensive power. These are the Gloucester , which distinguished itself in the destruction of Cers'era'a squadron - ron ; the \\'asp , whIch has attained an en- vlhile ? notoriety aa a disturber of Spanish k ock houses , the Dixie and the Leyden , which for a time were the sole represeuta- tires of the United States in Havana harbor. Secretaly Alger believes General Miles will arrive at his destination Sunday morn- log with 3,000 men. Later will come 4,000 men on transports , and the day following that 3.500 more. Whether the landing will be deferred until the arrival of the entire force. or whether General Miles wIll take the initiative 011(1 hoist the flag himself on Porto Rican soil , is left to the discretion of that omccr. It is the department's de- terininatioi that he shall not lack for troops and equipment , and this first expedition may be followed by several others , as fast as the troops can be gotten ready , until word comes from the general that he needs no more. General Schwan's brigade , comprising the Fifth , the Eleventh , and Nineteenth United States infantry , a splendid body of trained soldIers , sailed from Tampa today , to join General Miles , and if the Porte Rican cx- peditton is not an immediate success , It will not be from lack of disposition In the War department to supply every requisite. Confldcisce In Dewey. That Admiral Dewey has the situation in the Philippines vell in hand is exhibited - ited by his telegrams , the latest of which was received today , which , without boasting - ing , simply reports like the others that have gone before that affairs are quiet and satisfactory. The State department has come to have fully as great sense of appreciation ofAd. mjal Dewey's diploinatic abliltleg nlhie country has for his naval skill and courage , and the best evidence of this is that it has not found It necessary up to this point to interfere in any way , either to project or to aniend his works. The Navy department has now discovered - ered that the big double-turreted monitor Monterey will not arrive at Cavlto until August t ; , that being the advice received at the department from the captalfi of the vessel when it touched at honolulu. The admiral's ' announcement of the arrival - rival of tIm second detachment of United States troops at Cavite has given great comfort to the War department. which was not altogether at ease concerning the first small expedition lying between Spaniards and the insurgents , and without being able to depend very largely upon either. With these added troops it will now be possible to demand the surrender of Manila , but it is gathered hero that our purpose is to defer such a movement until all the United States troops now afloat have arrived - rived in Manila bay , unless the attitude of the insurgent forces demands prompter ac- tion , IjrenMting the Wave , . for I'oro flico , CHARLESTON , July 21.-The expedition which started for Porto Rico from here Wednesday evening finally got to sea to- day. The Grand Duchess and the No. 30 , with General Wilson and the Second and Third Wisconsin regimentB , spent the night off Sumter. At 8 o'clock this morning tugs took them out through the jetties. It wan not until S o'clock tonight that they were tOll0VCl by the No. 21 , carrying the Sixteenth - teenth Pennsylvania and two companies of the Sixth Illinois. Thu work of loading the last mentIoned vessel went busily forward all day. Some trouble wan experienced in getting the 1,000 mules that were to go on ship aboard , but otherwise the work was done rapidly and without the least accident. The men of the Sixteenth were most enthusiastic - siastic over the chance of shortly seeing active service In Porto Rico and they wern given an enthusiastic cheer by thousands of people , who were assembled to see them off , CERVERA MAY BE BEANEATER liunsur NOSY has it that the Galigust SjPaniNlI Ailmirgil May Settle Iuii in lioston , ANNAPOLIS , July 21.-A well defined rumor - mor which cannot , however , be traced to an authoritative source , was on everybody's lips here today that Admiral Cervera had expressed - pressed a determination not to return to his native country at the close of hostilities be- tweesi the United States and Spain. It Is said that. the admiral has decided to take up his residence in floston , whither lie will repair with his son , Lieutenant Cervera , who is also a prisoner here , as soon as peace is declared. The Spanish officers who arrived last night on the Harvard were escorted through the city today by members of the fIrst contingent of prisoners and seem well sati8flcd with their quarters.

WAShINGTON , July 21.-Secretary Long had a long conference with the president today - day , presumably relating to the departure of the Porto Rican expedition.

In consequence of the extremno rigor of the press censorship the reign of terror is felt acutely , The wildest and most absurd rumors are afloat and given credence even in the capital to say nothing of the prov- laces. Watson's squadron is a phantomu haunting the PeOPlO along the coast. Car- list and republican conspiracy vhantomns alarm the authorities , so much so that the council of ministers has decided to suppress the Carhist clubs and newspapers. It will be decided also to suppress the republican orgasms which advocate war , while the republican - publican and socialist papers which favor peace will be tolerated. All this would be comimprehensible if ieaco were to be the outcome within a fortnight , but the country cannot bug stand tile ten- slon of the relations between tile rulers amid the opposition parties and the profound anxiety which such a policy causes.

WASIIINGTOrc , July 21.-WIthout any very tangible reason there has been a notable diminution of the optimistic inupresslons amnong ofilcials to the effect that early peace might be Iooke'l for. Possibly this temporary depression is explalmunbie by the fact that private advices , entirely unofficial in character - ter , from sources of information in Europe , imidicate that time situation in Spain is such that there Is no present hopes of overtures from Spain , the government of which country - try is apparently In the most exasperating ignorance of th condItions In America. It Is apparent to the officials that the peace party In Spain still feels itself too weak to insist upon demanding peace. It is probably working in a quiet way to educate tIme Spanish - ish people up to the Point whore they can contemplate with resignation the acceptance of the minimum peace conditions that might he expected to form the basis of the United States' demands. If the dominant party in Spain is . under the impression that the United States proposes to denude Svaln of all or nearly all of Its colonial possessions it might easily be conjectured that it. would favor a protracted resistance , being convinced - vinced that it bad little more at stake and relyieg upon the Europeaa powers to protect - tect the peninsula itself. The warning notes from Europe , conveyed through reputable newspapers , that the United States is not to be let free to conduct a campaign in Europe , are interpreted in some quarters as really the only hopeful signs visible looking toward the beginning of peace negotiations. Bearing in mind the well recognized reluctance of the European nations to allow any interference with the balance of power in Europe , it Is assumed that the neutral nutiomis may now ho spurred on by knowledge of the approach of Watson's eastern squadron to make thuo strongest representations to Spain in the direction of peace. But regardless of the success of the expedition from this point of view , it is still the steadfast purpose of the administration to send a squadron to European waters.
