It has been suggcsted that it Is eminently fitting that the peaceful solutlort ot the difficulties now pending should be celebtatel by a big joI1ifcation at. the Transmlsslssippl Expost- tion , which Is essentially representative at tbo orts anti pursutt8 of peace.Vith this 1de In view It is proposed to make the demoustratton one of the biggest features - . of the exposition and It will occur as soon as posstble after the conclusion of the war Is assured. The plans for the celebration have not been .flillv determined. but it has been decided - cided that a vigorous effort will ho made to secure the presence of I'resldent McKtn- Icy and of as many other representatives of the national administration as posslbl& . A number of speakers of national reputation w111 be invled to make addresses and there wilt be a mammoth parade , which will in- elude all the features of the exposition and , - possibly an entire representation of local organizations and secret societies. The edo- bration will conclude with a big display of flioworks in the evening and other inter- eating features vi1i probably be added before the plans are completed. In the same connection it is proposed to Tecoguize the return of the volunteers with a big public demonstration in case they are eent home before the exposition closes. This will nlo be an exposition teature and at- though it is considered doubtful if any of the Nebraska regiments are mustered out before November 1 the management 'will be 1 ready to give them a rousing reception if the occasion presents itself.

( Copyright , 1S9S. by Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , Aug. 6.-New ( York World Cablegram-Special Telegram.-Tho ) Statist says : The prospect of an early conclusion of the war has very naturally given a flliip In the market to American securities and when the treaty of peace is actually signed it may reasonably be expected that there will be a marked rise. Of course It is possible that complications may grow out of the American demands. It is also possible that the United States government , having once adopted a policy of over sea acquisitions , may take other measures which may excite apprehension , but we ourselves do not see any reason for entertaining such a fear. Assuming that peace will be concluded soon , that no complications vIil arise , and that the United States government pursues a vIse policy , it seems certain that there must be a very active business in all classes of American securities. Zn the first place the harvest again promises - ises to be excellent. It. Is true that all European harvests likewise promise well and we hope that Australia and Argentine wilt have good crops. Therefore It is tea- sonablo to expect that there will be coosid- erablo fall in the price of vhcat. Consequently - quently tha United Satcs will not realize the immense roflts which accrued there the last two years. Still a third good harvest In succession wilt be an immense gain to the country and even if the farmers do not receive as much money for what they have to sell the wage-earning classes , who are th bulk of the inhabitants in the towns , will benefit from heap bread , and so a stim. tiles will be given general trade. Over and ebove this it is to be recollected that Cuba is one of the richest islands in tIme world naturally ; that it has been grievously neglected while under Spanish rule ; that the Americans with their characteristic - acteristic energy , enterprise and boldness will throw themselves into the task of developing - veloping the natural resources of the island in a short time ; that this will give employment - ployment to great masses of capital anti that the consequent stimulus given every kind of industry In Cuba will react upon the United States furthermore. Porto Rico will have to be brought up to the American level and whatever acquisitions - tions the United States makes in the Pacific will likewise call for a large outlay of cap- ital. Lastly , the new position taken by the United States in the world makes it incumbent - bent upon the government to largely aug. meat its fleet. Therefore a large addition of first class ships of the newest typo will have to be made and that implies considerable - ble government outlay. The army likewise will have to ho increased , which again means an additional goverameat outlay. For all these reasons and others that might be mentioned It is reasonable to cx- pect a long period of exceedingly active trade in the United States , as well as much business on the stock exchange at higher prices in both. It need hardly be observed that if there 4s to be a great investment In Cuba. I'orto Rico and in the Philippines , and it there are to be some years of prosperous trade and active stock exchange busiaces , the railway companies must benefit im- measely , especially companies connecting the Gulf of Mexico with the north and west. But it may be asked if there is to be such an expansion of all kinds of business In the United States what will be the effect on the money market ? We are inclined to took for very much higher rates. Protracted peace negotiations or difficulties with other pow- era may , of course , give a temporary check to business and a rise in rates. In that case it might not be great for some time to come , but looking to the immediate future , we are inclined to expect the usual demand ( or money from the west and south for the mov- lag of crops , while the government outlay upon war operations and preparations anti other measures will likewise take away fropi the great banking centers a considerable sum. The demand for moving crops usually begins Ia July , continues nil through August and reaches the culminating point about September 20 or 25. During the next six weeks , therefore , there ought to be considerable decline , both In deposits and reserves In New York banks and a corresponding expansion In Internal circulation. Though , of course , if peace is concluded rapidly , Cuba almost immediately evacuated and the Americans prepare for active Investment In the cool season money may become 'ery tight in November or December. It is hardly probable. however , that the plans of syndicates of great capi- taiists can bo completed so rapidly. Probably - ably not very much money will be spent uutii next year. Still there will be the usual demand for moviat the crops , the government demand for the army and navy and commercial demands for great trade activity that is now going on. Coi.se- quently we expect to see considerably higher rates in New York between now and Sep- ternber , a pause during October and another - other advance of rates in November and December.

C.-New ( York World Cablegram-Special Telegram.-Thero ) has been no relief in the Anglo-Russian tension. In the last twenty.four hours extreme uneasiness - easiness has been created by alarmists through an inspired article in the Standard , hich asserts that Salisbury has taken up a position from which ho will on no account recede , and that it would mean ruin to British prestige throughout Asia were he to do so. At the same time it Is pointed out that the matter in dispute , but for the principle involved , is altogether too trifling to star- rant plunging Into a frightful war crisis , and that it has how arisen is held to be the direct result of SalIsbury's perpetual yielding - ing to Russian diplomacy , by which Russia has been emboldened to adopt a positkn from which It finds it as difficult to recede as England.

Dunraven was believed to be the obstacle in the yy of the issue of the challenge for the America's cup by Lipton , through the Royal Ulster Yacht club. A statement to that cffet was mentioned to Dunraven by a special correspondent at Cowes today , as having been made by the Daily Chron- ide , anti Dunraven was asked to give views on the projected challenge. He gave me the following signed statement : "I have not seen the Daily Chronicle , but the allegation you mention Is without foun- dation. I have not. expressed any and do not intend to express any opinion on the subject of Sir Thomas Lipton's proposed challenge for the America's cup. ( Signed. ) DUNRAVEN , " Waist Inpo.ible Conditions , As stated In a New York dispatch Wednes- da , the Yacht Racing association , of ihicl : Dunraven is president , declined the invitation - tion of the Ulster Yacht club to suggest conditions which should attach to the challenge - lenge , but certain members of that association - tion are individually bringing every possible - sible Influence. to bear upon the committee of the Ulster Yacht club to Insist on conditions - ditions of the most drastic kind. One said the race should be contested off Madeira or Azores , but. the challenger's advisers are entirely opposed to any such proposal. The fate of the challenge depends on how far the committee of the Ulster club is prevailed upon by certain leading yachtsmen - men hero who ask for unworkable or obnoxious - noxious conditions. The Ulster Yacht club is most anxious to carry the matter through , and It is now felt that it was an egregious mistake not to have acted upon its own responsibility , but having invited suggestions - tions from yacht squadron people , it. cannot altogether ignore them. I heard from undoubted authority 'that the tables are likely to be turned on Hooley in an unexpected fashion , In connection with his charges of blackmailing and eec- ruption against certain newspapers , the opinion of eminent lawyers has been taken on the possibility of prosecuting Hooley and his agents ( or conspiracy to procure false and fraululent representations in the preses in the interest of his company's promotions. The counsels' statement is such that prosecution would undoubtedly lie If cvi- deuce of a conspiracy can be produced , but it is pointed out that such evidence is c - tremely difticult to obtain , Hooley's chief emissary , A , M , Broadley , has left the coun- try , as a warrant had been issued for his arrest five years ago in connection with an abominable scandal and he should have been arrested on his return but5for police laxity. Ilooley , himself , speaking after his last examination in the bankruptcy court , said to a friend 'i intend making a perfectly clean breast of everything , and think the public , especially the investing public , ought to be grateful to me for doing so. I had to act according to the conditions by which I was surrounded when I entered business in the city of London , only I was more generous - erous and confiding than the ordinary corn- pany promoter , and sharks took advantage of me. I am far happier now than I was during the last two years when I was sought after and toadied by all kinds of person. ages , " G055i5) About the PrIncess , A political explanation of the princess of Wa'es' ' rush to Copenhagen has been now abandoned , and the first excuse of her mother's serious illeess has been revived , Tim fact. that the queen of Denmark goes out driving every day is explained by say- lug that the doctors advised her to take as much carriage exercise as possible , but it is evident that. an aged woman who can drive out twice a day is not in sufficiently precarious condition to demand that her daughter should go post. haste to her side at. a moment's notice.

Before the princess left few of his friends ventured aboard , All was stiffness and formality.

It is not thought there is anything serious in the quarrel , The princess' temper has grown testr In late years , and these diner. vnce have been of frequent occurrence ; but It happened Ia Ihiscasu she could. ot mart. feat her displeasure without attracting public notice , The princess , who is extremely quiet anl depressingly piops , hates general society because she Is deaf , and pursues her own course with determination.

Ito ha made wonderful progress up to the present , owing largely to the strictness with which the princess saw the doctors' orders fulfilled , hut if'ho gets restless - less now , as it. is feared , then much of the good accomplished will be undone. It has been said the Countess ofVar - wick was at. Cowes , but. this is not true. The countess is ill at Warwick castle , su.ffer- ing again from the nervous breakdown that confined her to bed for two months last autumn. The report that the Indian mints are about to be reopened to the coinage of silver is based on a. remarkable statement by an eminent Hlndoo financier , that owing to a shortage of sliver coinage in India a wholesale - sale illegal coinage of rupees is going on , coins being turned out so perfectly that mint experts even can with difficulty 'Ic- beet them. But this silver stringency is do- elated by the Indian government to be due to temporary causes connected with moving a good harvest , and Is airaazly passing away , money being again easier. Lord George Hamilton , secretary of state for India , when asked today in the house of Ccmmons whether the reported intention of opening the mints was well founded , re- idled that it was impossible for him to give an answer to such a question , for ho would state the financial position of India in full on Wedncsday , when he makes his budget statement. Among the best Informed bimetallists in the house th belief prevails that some slight concessIons would be offered by him on' the silver question on Wednesday , but the opening of the Indian mints certainly will not be announced pending the report of the commission now enquiring into the sub- jcct. SQUABBLE OVER PREFERMENT Sonic Internal DIssensionS of the l'aris Exiositlon Conimission Brought to Light , ( Copyright , 1SSS , by Press Publishing Co. ) PARIS , Aur , 6.-New York World Cablegram - blegram - Special Telegram. ) - Colonel Chaille Long , secretary of the special corn- mission exhibition for 1900 , has received the following cable dispatch from E.

Subsequently - quently Cridler , Baker and Hamburger via- ited Paris , and it Is notorious that the interests - terests of American trade exhibitors are being sadiy neglected in connection 'with exhibiting , and the new commission must bestir itself If the United States is to be at all worthily represented here in 1900 , HEALTH OF MARINES IS GOOD Sampson Wires that it is ot Neecs- 5flr ) to Bring Battalion North , WASHJNGTON , Aug. 6.-The secretary of the navy made public the following teieparn from Admiral Sampson : PLAYA , Aug. 6.-MarIne battalion Is in excellent health.

Health of the squadron - ron at Guantanamo fairly goad , Sick list numbers about 3 per cent. General tone of health of the ships' companies has fallen considerably since the first of July. This. however , is not duo to the prevalence of I any disease , but is probably due to the release - lease from the strain and constant effort under which they so long lived ; and to this , probably than to any other cause , is due their somewhat impaired physique , I do not think it necessary to send the marine battalion north. The crews have borne their privations in a manner beyond praise ; those of three ships have not. been ashore for seven months and three months in a debilitating - bilitating climate. SAMPSON.

M. Cambon and his staff , who had been awaiting It throughout the evening - ing , at that hour were convinced that it would not arrive before tomorrow and the ambassador retired and the members of his staff went to their homes. Just a week ago today Ambassador - sador Camboa received from the president the terms of peace that would be granted by the United States. When the State department closed its doors this afternoon the Spanish government had not signified whether or not it was prepared to accept these conditions. Every day dur- lag the last week an answer has been cx- pected and that same feeling of expectancy prevailed at the close of the week. It Is significant that all responsible government officials are satisfied the reply will be an acceptance of our terms when it does come. About 2:30 o'clock Secretary Thiebault of the French enibassycalled at the State do- partmnent , thus giving rise to the supposi. tion that he was seeking to male an appointment - pointment for the ambassador to meet. the president to deliver the Spanish answer. This , however. turned out to be erroneous. M. Tbiebault's business being connected with some of the recent seizures of French merchant - chant vessels by the blockading fleet and relating in no way to the Spanish peace negotiations. The fact that Secretary Day , who had contemplated a trip to Atlantic City this afternoon , did not leave town , was also the basis for another guess that he bad notice the Spanish note was coming immediately , and that his presence would be required here , As a matter of fact the secretary was detained beyond his train tirn by his To- ception of the Italian ambassador , who bad : . . long conference over the Cerruti case. Altogether , though , the expectation of an early answer is still cherished , it was the belief of the official's , when the day closed , that there Is now little likelihood of its receipt - ceipt by the president before Monday. It was rumored in some quarters that the Spanish government had sent along a notice - tice that it had accepted the principal American terms , and would be prepared to make formal answer Monday , but the French embassy , which would be the only recipient of such notice , gave a quick and effectIve denial of this story. While all this delay is deprecated , it is realized that Sagasta probably is making the struggle of his life to bring the Spanish - ish party leaders to the point where they ill agree to , stand by him in his acceptance - anco of the terms of peace , This fact tends to secure the indulgence of our government in some degree , and this is more readily cx- tended in consideration of the fact that so far from having surrendered any advantage in agreeing to discuss terms of peace , we ae gaining something substantial every day in the prosecution of the campaign ins revealed by the reports from Porto Rico. Naval l'liins Uneliangeil. The naval plans of operations are also moving steadily forward , and notwtthstand- log statements to the effect that the projected - jected cruise against the Spanish coast by the eastern squadron has been abandoned , Secretary Long stated this afternoon that no change haul been made in the plans of the department respecting that squadron. Up to this point not the slightest corn- plaint has reached the department respect- I IflL' thi manacement of the Porte Rican campaign , a tribute to General Miles' abil- Ity. No word has come of soldiers without foo.i or ammunition , or of sick men without - out doctors or medicine , nor is the inward movement of the American army delayed for lack of artillery owing to General Miles' insistence upon keeping his artillery in the vanguard , and giving personal attention to the commissary and quartermaster depart- meats. The War department officials now say that General Shatter's army wIll begin embarking - barking in earnest tomorrow , the transports - ports which are arriving being obliged to take on stores for the homeward trip. These , however , will be limited in quantity in or- dec to avoid unnecessary delay and only ten days' rations will be placed aboard each ship. Colonel Ilecker , in charge of trans. portatlon , said that he believed it would be scarcely necessary for the transports to make two trips , for in addition to the ships already at Santiago , there will be 'avaiiable for transport purposes the steamers which arc carrying to Santiago the Immune regi- rnents which are to replace the Fifth army corps at that point. The Merritt-Chapman Wrecking company ha informed the Navy department that the wreckers have succeeded In floating the Spanish cruiser Marie Teresa and are about to start it under its own steam to Norfolk. The navy has nothing to do with this voy. age , the wreckers having contracted to deliver - liver any of the vessels of Cervera's fleet that might be recovered at Norfolk. It is expected that th battle.scarred Spanish bhip will attract thousands of curious visit- era when it reaches Hampton Roads , It is fully expected at the Navy department that the Marie Teresa will require extensive re. pairs , having suffered not only from shot , shell and fire , but also from a month's submersion - mersion In the quickly fouling water of South Cuba. However , the repairs will certainly - tainly be made for the sentimental reason is strong enough to warrant the expenditure of money enough to put the ship into serv- iceabie condition.

( Copyright , 1S95 , by Press Publishing Co. ) SANTIAGO DE CUBA , Aug. 6.-New York World Cablegram-Special Telegram. ) -The work of embarking the American troops for shipment to the isolated camp at Montauk Point , Long Island , begins to- morrow. Three transports are awaiting to receive the first regiments of cavalry and Rough Riders. Probably 700 men in all will be sent away in the first consign- meat of the sick. The most suffering Is from calenture , a native fever , which , while it is not as deadly as yellow fever , is more painful and weakening. The characteristics of the disease are a high fever , the tern. perature ranging from 100 to 105 , with pains in every bone of the body and de- hirium. The treatment consists of profuse sweating anti total abstinence from food for five or six days. A patient Is given all the water he can drink , however. After the fever has commenced to subside twenty to fifty grains of quinine are given daily. William Astor Chanler has received as high as seventy grains of quinine daily. . Time reports today show that 30 per cent of the men In all the camps to the east and south of SantIago are unfit for duty. The hospitals are completely filled with cases and many men who are not in the hospital are unable to vork. There have been four deaths from calenture among the soldiers during the last four days. FollowIng - lowIng are the victims : William Cheevers , Company I , private ; Gus Graham , Company L ; private ; Stewart Williams , hospital corps ; Sergeant Young , Company E. There have been no deaths among the Rough Riders , save those who were killed in battle. The number of sick Is now much larger than at any other time. Exposed - posed to the fever , the tropical sun and the heavy night dews all are anxious to get away , believing they cannot get well here. All hospitals , regimental and dlvi- sion , corps and Red Cross , are filled. Eighty officers are sick with calenture and from their wounds at the Club National , which has been transformed Into a Red Cross hospital under charge of Miss Wheeler , daughter of General Wheeler , Six noble young women are caring for the men here. All the sick will be sent home as rapidly as transports can carry them.

The impression in official circles is that a suspension - pension of hostilities Is imminent. The government is rather annoyed because the Madrid press points out that. many of the personages eonbulted did not conceal that they would have preferred to place the peace negotiations in the hands of a stronger goy- crnrnent even taken from the liberal ranks and a majority of personages outside the gcnernls advocated the earliest possible convocation - vocation of the Cortes , with a view to yen- tiiato in Parliament the delicate question of responsibility arising from the present situation - uation and from time war , , i'rcss Criticisms , Imprclal ubllshes today an evidently inspired - spired article adroitly reasoning from Spanish - ish and , financial points of view advocating that Cuba , when thoroughly reorganized under an American protectorate , should un dertake the burden of all its debts.

Imparcial plainly Indicates that the aug. gestion might he a basis of negotiations , and that a majority of Spaniards persist In thinking their government will continua to decide that America may do something for Cuban bondholilers , although almost the whole debt , $155,000,000 , existing in 1895 when the present rising began , and $400- 000,000 since , has been spent and wholly devoted to the expense of keeping sitanish rule in Cuba , Siisieion of hostilIties , MADRID , Aug , 5.-Via ( the Frontier.- ( Now York World Cablegram-Special Telegram - gramam able to state that the Spanish government and the French embassy at Madrid expect negotiations to be suflidiontly advanced by Sunday to allow a suspension of hostilities next week.
