The occasional radiations of bright Sep
tember minshlno that percolated through
the reluctant clouds lirougUt new life to
the exposition yesterday Whllo the nt-
tcndanto did not reach the proportions that
might ha\e been expected If the protracted
rain had not partially Bhut on * the tide of
travel , them was a fairly Rood crowd and
the outlook for the remainder of the week
la moat encouraging The bright azure of
the Bky was still partially overcast , but the
impenetrable blanket that has hid the Him
for four days was broken and the Irregular
billows of cloud that yet Moated o\er the
Bky wcro tinged with golden promise of
a season of delightful \\cathcr.
The only fcnturo was the celebration of
Wisconsin day and this w.is far from being
the success the management of the exposi
tion had anticipated. They are somewhat
disappointed on this account , as cxtraor-
dlnuiy eftorts had been expended to provide
the Wisconsin commission with every facil
ity with which to work up a liberal rep
resentation. A very low railroad rate was
HOcurcd for the occasion and there
was every rca-son to expect that
there would be several good-sized
excursions from the Badger state. But
apparently nothing was clone by the Wiscon
sin commission toward seconding the efforts
of the exposition and the result was a small
crowd of about fifty people , most of whore
were from Milwaukee. Neither the governor
nor any other state official was present , and
on that account the celebration that had been
scheduled for the day was abandoned. Suet
Wisconsin visitors as were on the grounds
vvoro Informally received at the Wlsconsli
building , where they wore provided wlU
badges , and this was the only ceremony oi
the day.

Bleu c < pnilncd the lack of Interest on the

A smoldering fire was discovered In the
smokehouse of the Cudahy Packing com
pany , South Omaha , at 1 o'clock tbis mornIng -
Ing which BOOH developed Into a dangerous
lire , nnd the strongest efforts were put forth
to prevent It spreading to the whole plant.
The fire department of South Omaha was
noon on the scene nnd rendered good as
sistance , aided by the steam pump of the
plant It still seemed doubtful , however ,
whether It would bo possible to keep tha
blaze under control , and Acting Mayor
llatrd telephoned to Omaha for help. Un
der Instructions of Mayor Moorcs two en-
glncs and the same number of hose carts
were sent down under rush orders nnd or
rived In time to be of assistance. It wai
expected that with the apparatus on hand
the flro would bo confined to Its original
location.
Mr. Cudahy said that the flro was prob
ably caused from on overheating of tin
smok" house , causing the meat to drip am
resulting In combustion. At 3 o'clock thi
meat was burning and the woodwork of thi
building was thoroughly ablaze , but it wa :
considered that all danger of the flamei
spreading further was over. It Is dlfficul

PARIS , Sept. 13. ( New York World Cabli
gram Special Telegram. ) Cabinet cntat
glenicnts over the Dreyfus scandal are agal
exciting the gravest fears. Intervention <
the president against revision gives point 1
the cable a week ago that revision mlRl
entail not merely a ministerial , but a prei
IdentlUl crisis. The president , It now ai
pears , was the deciding volco against TI
vision when the question was considered I
the last cabinet , whoso members notltie
him they would bitterly resent the action
after committing them to a wrong cours
ho wore now to assent to revision.
No credence is attached to a perslstei
rumor that revision could only bo had j
the cost of foreign complications. The roi
ground for hostility Is , It would cover tl
chief of the army with even greater odlui
than at present , for the truth of the coi
splracy against Dreyfus Is yet only pai
tlally revealed. Despite the disgrace i
Henry , Du Clam and Esterhazy , public fee
Ing Is that revision Is the barest act i
justice. It Is less likely than It was la
week , owing to ministerial and presldentl
Intrigue.
PARIS , Sept. 13. Among the rumors 1
circulation tonight regarding the Dreyfu
case Is that arrests more sensational tha
any yet made are imminent. Another re
port Is that General Zurllnden , minister fc
war , has resigned. Legal action for re
vision will bo commenced before his sue
ceFsor Is appointed General Zurllnden :
the last moment begged to be excused froi
accompanying President Faure to tt
maneuvers.
The fronk newspaper assertions that Pres
dent Fauro is supporting General Zurllndf
In opposing revision have given rise to tt
notion that thcro will bo no revision whl
M. Fame Is president. Tonight four me
armed with clubs attacked and severely In
Jured M. Philibert Roget , director of
Dreyfusitc paper. One of the four Is unde
arrest.

loon to nee and Interview the assassin
jucchesl. Instead of n sullen nnd defiant
alllant there was brought upon the Bccno
n the antechamber of the palals do justice
a smirking wretch , effusive , garrulous nnd
learning. Lucchesi Is small nnd gaunt , but
ithlotlc , with blue eyes , a reddish mails-
ache , dirty brown hair cut short and im
parted. He smiled nnd tittered ns he talked
cheerfully , answering all questions , Ills
lemeanor suggested nn unhinged mind , but
its replies Indicated clearly a full con
sciousness of the crime In which he gloried ,
ilo said , answering an Inquiry
" 1 killed the empress because I am nn
anarchist We have not , wo nte not , we
drank not , we therefore must make the
rich and powerful think about us. I have
simply executed my mission. "
"Why did you bclect the empress' * Why
not have killed a real ruler , king or presi
dent' "
"Destiny placed her In my way , " he
answered elmply nnd with apparent truthful
ness. "I was not looking for her life li :
particular. She was here and I struck her
She was ono of the oppressors. "
"Had you any accomplice ? "
"My accomplices arc all those who suffer
I am the executor of the oppressed. "
"You might have followed the example
of Caesarlo and killed the French prcsl
dent , " I suggested.
"I have never been In France , " hi
answered , with a shrug.
"Would you prefer life Imprisonment li
Geneva or death In Austria If you had youi
choice ? "
A look of annoyance passed over his faci
as he answered : "As you wish. "
Then ho made a sign ns If cutting of
his head swiftly , and said : "I should prefer
for the French way " Ho declined ti
answer further questions.
The Interview ended , the correspondcn
being shown the file by the examining judge
Leche , with which the crime was com
milled. It was about four Inches In length
very sharp at the point , with keen edges
Its wooden handle afforded a strong grip
Its construction made it far more deadl
than nn ordinary dagger for penetratln
clcthes , but If Lucchesi had failed to strlk
n mortal blow , the wound would have bee
slight.
The Judge asked Lucchesi : "Where wer
you August 30 , when the empress arrive
at Terrltet ? "
I.ucch st replied , "I was employed build
Ing the postofllce. "
"Did you strike the empress with the lei
hand ? "
"Certainly not. I always use the rlgli
hand. I dealt this blow with the ilgli
hand. " With an ugly grimace he then ben
down and showed how he dealt the blow
The Judge nskod : "It you had been abl
would you have murdered King Humbert c
Crlspl ? "
"Humbert ? Oh , yes , with pleasure. Ne
Crlspl. Crlspl Is a thief and stole 500,00
lire. I should have taken more had I bee
In his place. I take my hat off to thieves
1 never murder a thief. "
Ho laughed loud and even the Judge wa
scandalized , though ho Is used to him. Aftc
a while Lucchesi said : "I asked for clgari
Shall I get them ? "
"Wo will eee , " said the Judge , and or
dercd him back to prison.

Crawford's dispatch from Paris to the Dai !
News says'
The French police kept nn extreme'
watchful eye on Empress Elizabeth In hi
different visits to Paris. She was a Imi
person to watch and her erratic movcmen
and walks , sometimes before dawn , gai
them a deal of trouble. To use a commoi
place term , they thought she tempted pro' '
Idencc. Two detectives used to sit In tl
concierges lodges of French hotels w he-
she stayed. The police officer who looke
after her at the railway was M. Pao :
She knew him very well and sent hi
valuable souvenirs In acknowledgment <
his attentions. When last she met J
Felix Fauro ho awaited her by appoln
ment. The empress descended with dill
culty from the corridor car. She had on
n lady with her there. The Austrian so
dlers In plain clothes who guarded her nr
tier men servants were In the second clas
After polite commonplaces were exchange
between the empress nnd M. Fauro she sa
M. Paoll nt a distance and Impatient
beckoned him to approach her. Ho came.
"My good Paoll , " she cried , "my Urn' '
are so fearfully cramped after a twolv
hour Journey. Do help mo to stretch the
by offering me your arm. "
The- police officer felt embarrassed on n
count of M. Faure , but said "Your ma
csty commands nnd I must obey. "
Ho and she walked up and down tl
platform until the lady of honor hinted th
perhaps the president might feel ho w
In the way and retire. Though she d
tested ettquet , she could understand p
llteneBS nnd , dropping the arm on v.hl
she leaned , said :
"Now that my cramped kneea are belt
I wish to thank you warmly for your ma :
attentions. It Is so good of you to nw :
mo at the early hour. The emperor hop
soon to odd by word of mouth his than
to mine , "
IleeonieM a Kodak I'loiul.
The empress took up photography with
passion years ago. It became her favorl
amusement She went hither and thlth
and was always on the move to procure
endless variety of snap-shots. Her prlvi
apartments were a photographic muscu
Those excursions of hers to Sahara were c
tlrcly for the purpose of snap-shotting t
Arabs.
She was nearly killed some years ago
a fall from horseback In Normandy. S
was cantering across a field when the foi
leg of her horse stuck In a rabbit hole a
she was tossed forward on the ground , fa
Ing on her head She remained some da
betwet-n life and death. The emperor cai
to BOO her , but In such close Incognito tl
Marshal MacMahon , then president , had
idea he was In France.
The Instrument with which Luccbesl t

, sasslnated the empress Is said to bo exac
of the sort o' peculiarly formed daggi
which were found upon the consplrau
against Napoleon Ill's life. A similar dc
gcr bearing the Inscription "Souvlens T <

HAVANA , Sept. 13 ( New York Woild
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) There Is
seen to bo more or less clashing between the
commissioners of the United States and
of Spain over the extent to which the Span
ish government Is to relinquish Its hold upon
the affairs of the Island until the Paris conference
ferenco hns provided a permanent form ol
government.
The Instructions from Madrid under which
the Spanish commissioners will proceed con
template only the Immediate withdrawal ol
the Spanish military force and the separa
tion of the civil and military' governments.
Spain will consent to the deportation of Ita
80,000 troops as BOOH as preparations for
their embarkation can bo arranged , If the
United Stated will consent to the continu
ance of the Spanish civil government ami Ita
emoluments from customs and other sources
of revenue until the Paris conference pro
vider a change.
The United States government Is also to
bo asked to guarantee protcttlon to the
Spanish officers who will remain after the
Spanish troops have been deported. As the
customs receipts of the fourteen ports of
entry on the Island aggregate about $200,000
a day , Spain desires to enjoy them as long
as possible. The United Stales will also
bo asked to guarantee the protection of
Spain's Immediate property interests In
Cuba.
AVIII Hold the lliilldliiKH.
Kxccpt In Santiago , where nil the govern
ment possessions become the property of the
United States by right of conquest , the Spnn-
Ish goveinment haa no Immediate Intention
of relinquishing Us hold upon the buildings
t has used for years. The Spanish crown
can derive a substantial revenue from ths
ental of these buildings In Havana and In
ho other largo cities of the Island and an
iffort will bo made by Its representatives to
retain them as long as possible.
The value of thcso public buildings In
Havana and the other provinces Is not for
rom $5,000,000. Some of ihe buildings
n the Island are large" , nulistnntlal and
more Imposing than these nt Washington ,
and with the Introduction of a fovv modern
mprovcmeuts could be used for n century
: o come. The Spanish government falling
o retain Its property Interests In Cuba , will
demand a big premium over the actual value
of the holdings.
The Spanish military force around Havana
will. It Is expected , get away within six
weeks , but the officials of the civil govern
ment do not bcllovo they will ho relieved
until the first of the year at the earliest.

CiilinnM Are SnniileloiiH.
HAVANA , Sept. 13 The presence of Rob-
rt P. Porter , who Is lu Havana on a ( spe
cial commission from the United States
government to study the economic nnd finan
cial aspects of the situation , Is regarded
with suspicion by the frco Cuban party
as Indicating the establishment of an Amer
ican policy of guardianship.
Mr. Porter Is preparing a revision of the
Cuban tariff , which will probably be pro
tective of Cuban Industries , and Is acquaint
ing himself with every detail of local taxa
tion. In this work ho is assisted by a ca
pable staff. For the present his efforts are
only preliminary , as until after the definite
settlement of peace. It will bo Impossible to
establish the new regime. But his efforts
and Inquiries taken together with the an
nouncement that the American troops will
bo sent Inter to occupy the Island which
had hitherto been doubted by many ha\o
had the effect of provoking protests from
the more rabid Cubars who are holding
meetings and adopting resolutions against
encroachments upon our rights as citizens
of the free nnd Independent republic of
Cuba , by the establishment of an American
protectorate "
Commenting editorially today upon these
developments , La Lucha says-
t'lnnli of I'oree * .
It Is easy to foresee a clash between the
two tendencies , the. two forces on the polit
ical horizon of Cuba the sentimental Inde
pendent party and the party of practical an-
ncxatlonlsts On the ono hand stands the
Cuban sentiment , which has struggled for
fre > cdom for three years , on the other Is ar
rayed every material Interest In the Island ,
which looks first and foremost for the great
est and strongest guarantee , not only thut
order will bo preserved , but that thcro will
IK ) a. futuiu development and Increase In
these very Interests It Is too early yet to
predict with accuracy with whom the vli-
tory will Ho. but the leaders of the Cuban
party should not allow themselves to bo car
ried away by the national exaltation and
fiery temperament of their race They
should proceed with tact and discretion at
this Juncture , for otherwise annexation may
become an atcomplislietl fact far sooner than
Is expected The leaders should act with
prudcnco and furnish an example of strength
and stability Such conduct In them may
result in time In audlng to the ranks of tha
Cuban national party u lurgo proportion of
those who now advocate annexation and In
carrying with them the great landed Indus
trial Interests of the. Island.
.MiiHt \iine\iitlon or ImleiieiiileneM.
These two problems Independence au-l
annexation , are the chief topics dlscuES-fl
and the Idea of an American protectorate ,
with military occupation , Is nowhere favor
ably considered. Everywhere it Is reco/f-
nlzed that the choice Is between Independ
ence and annexation.
Next month at the headquarters of tlm
so-called Cuban republican government at
Cubltds. province of Puerto Prlnolpe , rep
rcscntatlves of the different corps of the
Cuban army will proceed to a presidential
flection and a definite constitution of the
government ttach army corps will send
eight delegates , making a total of forty-
eight electors. There are two separate nnd
distinct tondenclcH In the Cuban army , one
strongly supporting the present government
and the other favoring General Maximo
Gomez.
Already four presidential nomination
tickets are In the field The first are the
names of Bartolomew Masse for pnsttont
and Mendcz Cnpoto for vice president ; on
the second the names of Mcndez C.ir/ite
and Jose Miguel Corner for the flrit
