The tremendous boom in the out of town I * . ( attendance that was produced by the reduced - duced rates for Flower day encourages thc management to expect a big crowd today , 'when Indian day will be celebrated by th formal opening of the encampment on the north tract and a parade nod vublic exliibt tions of ] ndian sports and customs by 700 red men , representing thirty western tribes.

It. will fully illustrate the dIfferences In dress , manners and appearance between the various tribes and afford a vast amount of Interesting information that could not be acqutretl In any other way. 'rho entire population of the encampment will appear in the parade , which will start from Twentieth street and the Midway at 1:30 : oclock. The cavalcade will ias down the Midway to the Horticulture building and thence back to the encampment , where the rest. of thu afternoon will be occupied by exhibitions of Indian sports by the var- ! ous tribes.

The visitors will be distributed over three lines on as many special trains as may be necessary to carry the crowd. Mayor Jones and the other city offlclais will arrive on the i3urhington at S cfclock in the morning.

The Department of 'l'ransportatlon has succeeded In securing the annie rate ( or to. ' morrow that was in force on Flower day. . Thiero was no time to secure action by the Western I'assenger association , but the railroads have consented to take Indepenti- out action and make a rate of 1 cent a mile in thc 150-mile limit and one fare for the round trip from outside points. As the same rate was granted for Indian day It practically covers the entire week. In connection - nection with tim floral Parade Friday afternoon - ernoon Mrs. Clement Chase , president ot the Bureau of Entertainment , and the executive - - ocutivo committee announce that the reception - ception in their rooms in the Mines built- ! tug after the parade will be entirely intor- mal and everyone Is cordially invited to attend , AI.Ii Ill.ilY Foil Fh.'llt I'AhIAIl.

Copyrlght , ISOS , by Press I'ubllsiing ! Co. ) LONDON , AUg. 3.-New ( York World Ca- olegram-Special 'rlegram-Sir ) Thomas Lipton's projected challenge for America's up is still In suspense , The exact position of affairs in relation Co the challenge was explained to the World correspondent today by a man closely associated with Lipton In the matter. The Royal Ulster Yacht club , of which L.Ipton has been for some years a member , has adopted a resolution agreelag to forward - ward the challenge If satisfactory conditions are obtainabie. The conditions which LIp- ten himself and his advisers seek simply refer to the crowding of yachts by excursion - sion steamers and two more of a non-con- trosersini character. The Ulster Yacht club , however , thought it for some reason only courteous to Eng- hlsh yachting authorities to refer the proper challenge to the Yacht Racing association for its apprcval , This latter body has Dun- maven for itti president and everyone takes It for granted that Dunraven regards with extreme disfavor any revival of a contest in which he participated. Ileckstail Smith , secretary of the Yacht Itacing association , stated to \Vorid correspondent - respondent at Cowes today that lie had no- piled to the Ulster Yacht club that the proposed - posed challenge was no business of his association - sociation , but should be issued on the sole responsibility of the Ulster Yacht club. The \Yorld correspondent , on further inquiry , found that the Ulster club had not received the answer I3eckntall Smith said he had for- warded. The members of the Ulster Yacht club seem to be afraid to act until they discover that the Royal Yacht squadron and other clubs to which Duaraven belongs are favorable to it. The Wortil correspondent can state on the highest authority that tIm prince of Wales and duke of York both personally approve and support Lipton in going forward as challenger and express the hope for International - national reasons that the struggle would ho fought out amicably , hut It is feared other influences in swell yachting circles here are inimicable and unless the Ulster Yacht club takes the matter into its own hands the Lipton sporting offer may prove abor- tive. tive.He He has set his heart for years on challcng- ing for the America's cup. Last season lie broached the subject to the Ulster Yacht club committee , but it decided that the moment. was not opportune. Lipton now says : "My idea is that as England has not succeeded In wresting the cup from the New York Yacht club , Ireland should have a try. r feel confIdent of a perfectly fair race and that. the best yacht will win. I anticipate no trouble over conditions. " IL is not at all Improbable that the Ulster Yacht club may be prompted by partisans of Dunraven to submit conditions which cannot be accepted. That at least is the idea which has been expressed today at Cowes , where all yachting notables of the country arc assembled. Tomorrow models of the proposed challenger will be submitted to Lipton and his advisers In London by William Fife , Jr. , of Fairlie. Fife is keen on the business and very sanguine of being able to turn out a. flyer. . . Lipton expects that the challenge , if ac- ccptcd , will cost him 250,000 and he is quite prepared to spend mono If necessary. The marquis of Dufferin , commodore of the Royal Ulster Yacht club , is strongly in favor of the challenge being issued without more ado. If the Ulster club decides Ia that sense , Hon. Charles Russell , oldest son of Lord Chief Justice Russell of Klhlow Wen , will proceed at once to New York to confer on behalf of Lipton with the New York Yacht club committee respecting place and other conditions of the race.

INDIANAPOLIS , Aug. 3.-The republicans of Indiana completed the organization of their state committee and adjourned until tomorrow , when nominations will be made. The platform heartily endorses every act of the present national administration , praises the soldiers and sailors of the present war , and upon the war quastion says : While we sincerely deplore the necessity of war , we believe the president and congress - gross acted wisely in demanding the corn- pleto withdrawal of Spanish sovereignty from the Island of Cuba and in proceeding to enforce the demand with the military and naval power of the government , The subject of territorial extension is not directly treated , but referred to as follows : HavIng achieved its manhood , the repub- lie , under God , is entering upon its greatest - est period of power , happiness and responsibility - bility , realizing the mighty future of wealth , prosperIty amid duty , which is even now upon us , we favor thocxtension of Amen- can trade , the reformation or our consular service accordingly , the encouragement by nIl legitimate means of the Amercan men- chant marine , the creation of a navy as powerful as our commerce shall be extensive - sive , and for public defense and security and ( ho establishment of coaling stations and naval rendezvou5 wherever necessary , We most heartily approve the wisdom of the annexation of the Hawaiian islands as a wise measure anti recommend the early construction of the Nicaraguan canal und3r the immedIate direction and exclusive control - trol of the United States government , the importance and necessity of the canal haying - ing been emphasized by recent events connected - nected with the present war with Spain. Following is the financial plank : The republicans of Indiana are care- sorvedly for sound money , and arc , therefore - fore , opposed to the heresy to which the deniocratic party Is wedded-of the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to i-which we regard as absolutely certain to debase our money and destroy our pninte and public credit and cause general business disaster. We recognize the necessity of conipre- hensivo and enlightened monetary legisla- tiou , and we believe that the declaration In the St. Louis platform for the maintenance of the gold standard and the parity of m.ll our forms of money should be given the vitality of public law and the money of the American people should be made like all its institutions-the best In the world , \\ro felicitate the country on the fact that when , in the exigencies of war , it became necessary to issue $200,000,000 of government bonds to meet the extraordinary expenditures - tures , a republican administration had the good sense and wisdom to put the loan within the easy reach of the people , where it has been wholly absorbed , offering a aplendid security for their savings , awakening - ing new interest in the permanency of our government and the soundness of its finna- cia ! system , The tariff plank is as follows : We reamrm our belief in the doctrine of reciprocity and protection to American labor and home industries , anti condemn the democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only as unsound and unuited to the best interests of the country , a doctrine whose falsity has been demonstrated by our cx- perienco tinder ( ho Wilson law. that plunged the country into commercial and financial distress. from which it is fast recovering since time change from the democratic policy , FUSION S141t'I'l i N % VYOMNG.

Madrid ( lislatchcs report the financial straits of .tho Spanish government desperate , anti popular feeling except where affected by the Carlist. or republican propaganda - ganda is now resigned to the ineyitnble. in fact Sagasta has accepted Prcsiticnt Mc- Kinley's onQlttons , hut this is not offi- daily confirmed from Madrid. The Philip- pities are still regarded as a serious clii- meat of the situation. When the war began - gan amiui reports of European intervention were freely circulated lianotaux said : "The real trouble will arise when peace terms are being negotiated. " Germany and Russia are anxiously watching - ing the Philippines developinejits , while England is too greatly concerneti lest they should fall under the domination of either of those powers. It is expected hero that the Unitetl States will take precautions in any arrangement concerted with Spain that England will not be placed at a disadvantage - tago as compared with the other powers. At the same tune it is pointed out that the United States may be preparing serious complications If their policy is guided by benevolent Intentions toward nay particular - lar power where all have played the part of neutrals. MADRID , Aug. 3.-5 p. rn-Senor Sa- gasta has summoned Senor Silvela , the conservative - servativo leader , nad other absent pout- ! clans to Madrid in order to consult with them regarding the peace terms. Geiicrnhs Return to Mnuirld , MADRID , Aug. 3.-New ( York World Ca- biegrani-Special Teiegrani.-The ) approach of peace seems to induce the leading atates- men and generals to return to the capital. Campos , Weyler , Roniero , Slivela , Montero , Rios and Armijo have intimated their return - turn at the end of the week. On the faith of such return to Madrid the press begins to prognosticate more animation in domestic - tic politics in Spain directly the govern. ment omclahly confirms the rumored conditions - ditions of peace. Sagasta has reasons to be- hove that all the above except Woyler approve - prove peace , admitting the government could not do otherwise than accept the terms upon which America declined to admit any discussion nod endeavor to obtain any con- cessbons on minor points like the Philip- pines. Sagasta has had' a long conference with the conservative leaders from which the opposition press prematurely infers that the premier wants concert with the conservatives - tives on their return to office directly a peace treaty is signed , on the supposition thaL .t.bey could better cope. wItI the difficulties - ficulties of the interior situation in paio. Even if a peace treaty Is signed and all negotiations finished in August the gay- ernment would not convoke the Cortes till autumn. Surprise and displeasure are caused by the conduct of the volunteers in Porto , Rico and the clergy In the West IndIes and Philippines - pines , who arc so soon turning to the United States for protection. As to the Cuban Debt. With a view to preventing pressure in favor of the recognition of the Cuban debt by the future republic or the United States the German , French and Ilelgian bankers and capitalists have largely invested recently - cently in those bonds , especially the 1896 issue , When the ministers discussed the matter the foreign minister intimated that foreign governments would certainly make strong representations at Washington in favor of the recognition of at least the Cuban debts existing when the present insurrection - surrection began. I am assured on high authority that in both councils held to discuss the American demands Gamazao with the ministers of justice and finance urged the acceptance of President McKinley'B terms and to seek compensation In the settlement of the Ihilippines question. The ministers of war , manna and colonies again energetically deprecated the humiliating of the colonies' armies and volunteers , predicting rows n Havnna and Spain. Whereupon Sagasta dryly asked it they could recommend means to continue the war without even more disastrous consequences , as it was idle to expect any European assistance except in the case of a partition of the Philippines.
