Monday brought the usual Influx of nev
visitors to succeed these who luvo goni
nway full of admiration for the great show
The fresh arrivals were fully as numer
oils us usual In spite of the fact that i
largo number of people are waiting to
Iowa day and Modern Woodmen's day , am
this Is taken as u very reliable Indlcn
tlon that the expectations of un unprece
dented nttendancc during the week nn
likely to be realized. In view of the ex
ceptlonal events that are scheduled fo
thu middle of the week and which wll
chnw very largely from the territory Imme-
dlatcly surrounding Omaha n slight stag
nancy was probable nt the beginning , bu
this did not occur. Another very encour
nglng fact Is that a largely Increased pro
portion of yesterday's arrivals was fron
comparatively distant points , and most o
these will spend the entire week In tin
city. Today and tomorrow the tide fron
Iowa , Kansas and Nebraska will set li
with full force nnd there Is every assur
ance that the next few days will see tin
blggent crowds that have yet appeared.
As far as the original debt of the exposl
tlon Is concerned the enterprise Is uov
fairly out of debt. Of the amount that wai
outstanding September 1 only about $27,00i
remains , and the operating expenses u |
to last night will not exceed $38,000
This Indicates n total Indebtcdnesi
of $65,000 In round numbera and tin
exposition has almost exactly this amoun
to Its credit In the i bank. Hut the lurgi
expenditure which has been authorize !
nn account of the stock tihow now eland
as Indebtedness and until this la out o
the way the management will not conslde
Itself entirely free from obligations. Tin
exposition has put up premiums aggrcgat
Ing $35,000 for the stock show nnd the prep
nrntlons of the grounds nnd the construe
tlon of the buildings will add nearly $30,001
to thlH amount. Whllo these amounts an

The only remaining feature was the open
Ing of the poultry exhibit that is the be
ginning of the big live Block show tha
will bo put on In Its entirety early In Oc
tober. Three of the big barns that hav
recently been erected south of the Inldai
encampment have been devoted to the dls
play of blooded cocks nnd hens and by toda ;
the show will bo In full swing. Supcrln
tcndent Lowellyn says the quality of th
display will exceed anything that has bee
previously shown In Nebraska. The bul
breeds are exceptionally well rcprescnte <
nnd there are especially good showings o
brown leghorns and light brahmas. Th
birds wcro being rapidly Installed ycster
day. A largo proportion of the exhibit
come from Nebraska nnd Iowa , but Mis
Hrurl , Kansas and a number of other west
cm states are fairly represented.
The reason the poultry show has not as
Binned larger proportions IB alleged to b
the action of the management In chargln
up an entry fee of 50 cents for each bin !
This has caused n tremendous protest fror
prospective exhibitors and hundreds of ex
hiblts have been kept away on that nc
count. The exhibitors assert that thi
charge has never been made before at an
poultry show In this part of the cotmtrj
They say that as the premiums ranpe fror
HO cents to $2 there Is not the slightest In
ducement to poultry fanciers to make ex
hlbltB. The cost of entry absorbs all the
could expect to win In premiums , nnd th
exhibitors nre out the cost of trnnsportn
tlon und of employing men to look atte
their exhibits. The effect of the rule ha
been to limit the display to the very bes
birds , and although the show Is not a
largo ns these which have Ijccn made n
recent Nebraska state fairs there Is an ex
cellent collection of really fancy stock.

exposition. The senators and congressmr
who will participate In the exerclscn hav
been authorized to represent their respect

VESUVIUS' ERUPTION SERIOUS

( Copyright , 189S , by Press Publishing Co. )
NAPLES , Sept. 19. ( New York World Ca-
blcgram Special Telegram. ) Travelers
from all points of Europe arc flocking hereto
to see Vesuvius In eruption. The spectacle !
nt night Is one of Indescribable grandeur.
The fnlnt , palpitating slow that normally
mnrkK th greater crater Is now exchanged
for n vlvcl tongue of light , colored at times
nlmo.it like the rainbow. Illuminating the
heavens and reflecting with exquisite effect
In the waters of the bay. These manifesta
tions arc accompanied by deep rumblings
and thunderous subterranean explosions , fol
lowed by great eruptions of lava and ashea.
Fresh lava streams are dally moving down
the mountain side , encroaching on the cul
tivated regions , causing great loss and dam
age to Drooerty.
The observatory Is seriously threatened
by the subsidence of the ground on which
It ! n built , and one great lava stream now
coming clown will certainly overwhelm It
unless diverted from Us present course ,
torrent near the crater has n
a mile , dividing Into three
ins , each seventy or eighty
htch ns they pour down the
again subdivide Into numer-
Btrenms. They advance at a
rate of forty yards per hour , overwhelming
everything In their path , Bearing the veg
etation In their vicinity ns though lire had
passed over It.
An enormous quantity of lava keeps pour
ing out of the crater. It has filled Ver-
tcrnmi Valley , a deep ravine , and the
ashes lie several Inches thick for a long
distance down the Bides of the mountain
and on adjacent villages. Yesterday the
Inhabitants were seriously alarmed , but
have been somewhat reassured by a par
tial cessation of the eruption today.
Frightful misery and Immense damage
to property will bo caused If the eruption
breaks out again on the same scale ns on
Friday and Saturday. The slope of Vesu
vius Is one of the most thickly populated
districts In the world. The fertility of
the soil Is notorious and In the best parts
four crops n year are garnered from It ,
but one great aid to this fertility Is the
numerouh wells now beginning to dry up ,
and fanners arc In despair.
Today nine new craters have been counted
round the central crater , but even this extra
vent does nothing to check the flow of lava
from the latter , although there Is a marked
cessation In the more violent belching fire
and smoke.

iNtry of Donlilc-DealliiK.
PARIS , Sept. 19. The Due d'Orleans has
Issued n manifesto denouncing the Dreyfus-
Ites. The manifesto begins thus :
"At last the promoters of the odious plot
against the honor and security of the father
land have thrown oft their mask. Intimi
dated by them -the ministers have lowered
themselves BO far as 'to ' become their ac
complices. "
The Due d'Orlcang accuses the ministry of
seeking a revision of the Dreyfus proceed
ings , while convinced that Dreyfus was
guilty , under pretext of calming the public
for their own profit. He declares that the
prospect makes hla heart quiver and he
concludes his manifesto In these words :
"Frenchmen , wo nro masters In our own
country. Your servants , subject to occult
and pernicious power , presume to Impose
upon you the will to which they submit
under the pretext of proving the Innocence
of a man whom the military tribunals have
condemned as n traitor. It Is the army they
nro trying to destroy and Franco they are
striving to ruin.
"Frenchmen , we will not allow It. "
The manifesto has fallen rather flat. The
Dreyfus affair presents no new features. It
Is stated that General Chanolne , the now
minister of war , has decided to appoint an
entirely new staff for the ministry and to
organize the secret Intelligence department.
M. Prcssence , a leader In the Dreyfus
agitation , has been summoned to appear be
fore n council of rho legion of honor , on the
ground that ho has presided at meeting at
which orators have denounced the army.

PEKIN , Sept. 19. A remarkable series ol
imperial edicts has been published during
the past few days. The edicts have startled
the officials while making a favorable Im
pression upon the old foreign residents
who are unusually skeptical ns to the prac
tical value of such orders.
The emperor has addressed to the people
ple n long explanation of his now policy , de
claring that In many respects western civ
ilization la superior to the existing order
In his dominion and announcing his In
tention to adopt Its good features nnd dis
card the bad ones.
The most radical edict establishes n pos
tal service throughout the empire. In It
the emperor nsks the people to co-operate
with him In making the newly established
system a success , assuring them , that they
will thus aid In strengthening the re
sources of the cmjilre.
A fresh edict followed extending to prac
tically every one the right to memorialize
the throne , a privilege heretofore restricted
to certain classes. The latest edict com
mands that monthly accounts be rendered tc
the government receipts and expenditures
e\ cry where and that these accounts be pub
lished. The emperor directs that the edicts
bo posted throughout the country , In or
der that the people may see the endeavors
to promote their welfare which ho Is mak

WASHINGTON. Sept. 19. ( Special Tele

na created by executive order of February
22 , 1897 , contained 967,650 acres , while the

tract of 159,360 acres on the southwestern
corner and one of 7,650 acres to the south
east are excluded from the reserve ami re
stored to the public domain. This land la
eliminated from the reservation for the
reason that It Is devoid of forest growth.
On the north and cast of the old reserve Is
added nn extensive area of 433,110 acres ,
which extends Into Wyoming and covers
43,000 acres. At the request of residents
of the Dcadwood district there Is eliminated

SIXTI3KX MILLIONS OF PUPILS ,
Animal lleport of ( lie CnminlMNloiicr
of Htliicnttoii.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 19. The annuar re
port ) of the commissioner of education has
been presented to Secretary Bliss. The re
port shows figures for the work for the
year ending June 30 , 1S9S , and among other
things , says :
"One cause of congratulation on the part
of those who hold the doctrine that popu
lar education Is the safeguard of our Amer
ican institutions Is the continued pros
perity of the elementary schools. The In
crease during the year 1896-97 amounted to
257,596 pupils ovtir the previous year. The
total enrolled In elementary schooU
amounted to 15.-I52.426 pupils.Atlfling to It
those In colleges , universities , high schools
and academies , the total number reached 1C-
255,093 pupils.
"The ttttaf amount of schooling received
per Individual on an average for the whole
United States at the rate of school attend
ance for 1897 Is nearly five years of 200
days each , and reaches quite seven years In
a few states that arc the most lavish In their
expenditures for education. A llftlo more
than one-fifth of the entire population at
tended school nt Bomo tlmo during the year.
"A still greater occasion for congratula
tion Is the Increase ot students In colleges
and universities. This Increase has gone on
steadily for twenty-five years and In 187 !
only D90 persons In the million were en-
roi'led In these Institutions. In 1897 the
number has risen to 1,267 in the million ,
being more than double the number. Dur
ing the same period there has been an Im
portant change In regard to conditions ol
admission tt > colleges. The standard has
been raised to such an extent as to require
nn average of a year's work more In prepara
tion for the freshman class. Considering the
elevated standard , It Is safe to estimate the
number In higher education measured bj
the standard of 1872 as three times as large
In 1897 as Bwenty-flvo years before. This
Increase was most remarkable In tboso stu
dents taking what are called post graduate
studies and engaged In the work of original
Investigation. The professional students It
the schools of law , medicine , and theologj
Increased during the same period. Durliif
the same period scientific and Pechnlca
schools multiplied. "
In view ot the continually Increasing de
mand for higher education , says the state
ment , the Influence of professional educa
tion , and especially the rapid growth of thai
class of students that ) make- special experl
studies In post graduate' work , Is In the
highest degree assuring. A largo portion
of the report Is devoted to statistics-of edu
cation In the United Stutes. During the
year there were maintained In Alaska eight
een day schools , with 1,210 pupils.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 19. The following
statement Is given out at the War depart
ment :
The War department Is Just at present
undergoing an experience which Illustrates
the alacrity with which the average cltlzer
hastens to his senator or representative It
congress In emergencies.
The cessation ot hostilities and the Im
probability of their renewal , with the dull
ness of camp life , has apparently created t
feeling ot restlessness among the men of the
volunteer army , who , in the majority ol
cases , have given up positions of larger com
pensation , and many of them are imploring
their political representatives to procurt
their discharges and the latter In turn art
Hooding the War department with request !
for prompt and Immediate action.
To such an abuse of privilege has thli
grown that the War department has beer
obliged to call attention to that paragraph
of the army regulations which requires thai
all communications from subordinates to su
periors must pass through military channels
and to decline , as a rule , to entertain appli
cations for discharges ot enlisted men un
less they come to It In tbo proper manner.
A soldier who Is desirous of securing hh
discharge and has good and sufficient rcasoni
upon which to base It will save himself i
great amount of trouble If he will set fortl
the reasons for his discharge In a letter ad
dressed to the adjutant general of the arm ]
and hand It to the captain of his company
who , In turn , Is required to forward It to thi
colonel of the regiment , and the latter tt
pass it along through brigade , division am
corps headquarters , with their recommenda
lion. Unless this Is done this departmen
will send the paper back to the compan ;
commander for his recommendattton , am
that takes time which may be saved by fol
lowing the proper rule.
The department has promulgated a rullni
In thin connection , which Is to the effect tha
publlo'pollcy will not permit at this time tbi
I
consideration of applications for discharges
of men serving In the Phlllpplno Islands ,
Honolulu , Cuba or Porto Hiro. The reasons
for this arc obvious. Aside from the question
of transportation Involved and the necessity
of supplying the places of men.who are to
bo discharged with other * from the states.
It Is to be remembered that the war Is not
over and that much depends upon the re
sults and deliberations of the peace commls-
sloifers who have sailed for Par's.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 19. The United

State department that beginning August 1

to the payment of outstanding treasury cer
tificates , now about ten months behind , and

date four cases of fever have been reported
In Now Orleans and five cases at Harvey's

WASHINGTON , Sept. 19. It la the present
Intention of the administration to send to
Cuba ns a garrison force for the Island about
40,000 troops In addition to the force now In
Santiago under command of General Lawton.
The organizations which are to comprise the
Cuban garrisons have not all been designated
yet , but It Is assured that nt least half of
them will bo > oluntecrs.
Within two weeks orders will be Issued for
the movement to Cuba of the llrst 10,000
of the permanent garrison and It Is the
expectation now that they will sail from
tbo United States about October 1. These
troops will be followed quickly by others
until the entire force of 40,000 has been
established on the Island. It Is not the
Intention ot the administration to await the
evacuation ot the Island by the Spanish
forces before sending United States troops
to Cuba , as the Indications are now that It
may bo several months before the Cuban
commissioners complete their work. Quito
naturally , a considerable number of Spanish
troops will remain on the Island until the
rellnqulshment of Spanish sovereignty over
It has formally been concluded.
The rainy season In Cuba Is nearly at
an end and the most delightful season of the
year on the Island Is about to begin. Dur-
lug the late fall and winter months the
climate In Cuba Is not only enjoyable but
healthful and with such care as will betaken
taken for the health and comfort of the
American forces to bo stationed In Cuba
officials of the War department have no
fear that serious illness among the men
will follow the occupation of the Island.

Dr. Senn , assistant surgeon general , who
has b en hero for several weeks , left to
day. Dr. Greenleaf succeeds Dr. Senn In
the hospital here. There are 721 patients
In the general hospital. This Increased
number Is due to the fact that the patients
from the divisional hospitals have been all
moved to the general hospital. The steamer
Shlnnecock took 300 sick to New York to
day and the yacht lied Cross took fifteen
sick of the Ninth and Second regiments ot
Massachusetts to New London.
A largo number of men left on furlough
today. Three new wooden hospital bulld-
IngK are being put up , as It Is believed that
many of the sick patients cannot bo moved
for some tlmo yet.
The question of sending General Wheeler's
cavalry brigade to Huntsvlllc , Ala. , has
caused numerous messages to bo exchanged
between General Wheeler and the War de
partment. General Wheeler says he does not
know Just when the cavalrymen will be
moved from Montauk , but ho expects that
they will bo moved before the first of the
month. General Wheeler , who fully ex
pects to return to congress , will resign from
the army service early In October. IIo says
he will do what ho can for his men In the
way of having them located In a healthful
camp before he leaves the service.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 19. Major Generals
Dates and Sumner , who were prominent In
the Santiago campaign , reported at the War
department today. They arc expecting n
new assignment under the plan which Is
contemplated for the distribution of troops.
They have been at Montauk , but the breakIng -
Ing up of the camp there leaves many
ofllccrs unasslgncd and without duty. Gen
eral Xllles , with whom they conferred , has
been very busy with his scheme of re
organization , but It hna not yet reached n
point which makes obtainable any definite
Information as to where troops or com
manding officers will go. It Is almost set
tled that General Shatter will return to
San Francisco and resume command ot the
Department of California. Such Is his de
sire and no doubt It will bo complied with.
The probability that n number of general
and staff volunteer ofllccrs will bo dis
pensed with has caused considerable dis
cussion among those who may bo among
the number. A number of officers desire
to remain In the service and Influence Is
already being brought to bear to keep them
on the rolls of the War department.

REPUBLICANS RALLY
Voters of Douglas County Greet the Party's
Standard Bearers.
WARM WELCOME TO THE CANDIDATES
Oroighton Hall Packed to the Doors with
Enthusiastic Citizens ,
HEARTY CHEERS FOR THE PRESIDENT
Naino of William McKinley the Signal for
Tumultuous Applause.
JUDGE HAYWARD DISSECTS SOME FIGURES
i\ploden Menerve'n Claim for Won.
oVrfnlly KHIclcnt .Tlaiiaueiiieiil Mr.
itoNi-tvnlcr ( iUcn | | lt. I'nrly Sonic
Advice nn to Candidate ) ) .
The republican state candidates made
their bows to the voters of Douglas county
last night nt Crelghton hall. The hall was
packed with enthusiastic republicans and
erstwhile members of other parties who art-
tired of populist mlsrulo who made the
building shake with applause every tlmo
the name of William McKlnley was men
tioned and whenever a tribute was paid lo
"Old Glory. " It was a gathering calcu
lated to Inspire those who arc to do the
Douglas county end of restoring Nebraska
this fall to Ha old place In the republican
column.
It was to the tune of the "Star Spangled
Banner" that Judge M. L. Hayward , the
candidate for governor ; Ccnek Darns , for
secretary of state ; N. D. Jackson , for at
torney general ; T. L. Matthews , for auditor
and J. F. Saylor , for superintendent of pub
lic Instruction took their seats on the pint-
form , and they were Introduced to the audi
ence to the tune of a "Hot Tlmo In
the Old Town" and with the most ener
getic clapping of hands , stamping the lloor
and wild cheers. A little later Senator John
M. Thurston and "Our Dave" Mercer made
their appearance and the cheering that ac
companied n recognition of their presonro
was deafening. G. II. Williams , the candi
date for commissioner of public lands , acted
as president of the rally.
The first spenekor was JudgeHayward. .
Ho attacked the manifesto put forward by
the fuslonlstH , as their Issue , with nn array
of llgures that Is formidable and made
their claims of economy , good financiering
and retrenchment seem ridiculous. Ho
said :
Our fusion friends , every tlmo they meet
In convention , reiilllrm the Omnlm platform
of 1SU2 , but did It ever occur to you that
they never attempt to defend that platform ,
feeing that they were beaten so beautifully
In the campaign of that year ? In this year
they have changed their tactics somewhat
and hnvu undertaken to prosecute a cam-
pnlgu of libel and slander ami also of misrepresentation -
representation of the wise ndmlnistrntlou cf
Mr. McKinloy. Mr. McICInluy's administra
tion needs no defense at my hands , but ( hero
are somu things connected with the-admin
istration of iiffnlrw In .this state to which I
would Ilko to call attention.
CiiMh Turned Over to Meerve.
In that pamphlet they claim that when
Treasurer Mornerve went Into olllce he found
a shortage from his republican predecessor
of $500,000. In looking over the treasury
figures this Is what I have found : That the
total cash on hand turned over to Air.
Mcaarvo by his predecessor was $034,060.00
In cold cash. 1 ask you In nil fulrnvis if ,
with $931,000 turned over to him , what 13
ntlint by Mr. Mcservo by saying that "tho
most cf the rash balance wan stolen .by his
predecessor ? " Another statement Is to the
olTcct that ho has reduced the state debt to
the amount of $700,000. Let us sc-o what the
aspcts of the Btato were. Ho had $930.000
turned over to him. There was n balance In
the general fund to t > c applied to this pur
pose of $ r > 37'j : > 3.13. The state levied In 189.1 ,
ISIiC and 1897 a tax for n sinking fund. Mr.
Mi-servo collected In 1897 the tax levied In
! & % . The assessed valuation for Nebraska
was $ tfi7,078,270.37. At 60-100 of a mill for
189B , Mr. Meservo collected for 1S9 ( > S10.1-
540.81. Wo find that In Nebraska two-thtids
of the tax Is collected during the Hrfit e\x \
months of the year. For Instanc" , during
thi ) first six months of 189C $3.J.l oS.l.-H wan
collected ; for the second half , $ lll,032.r.i : ;
for the llrst half of 1837 , $1102,500.57 ; for Iho
second half. $142,000. The sinking fund lux
for 1S96 collected in 1897 amounted to JlOU-
540.SI , and mid to thin two-thirds of Iho
same amount , ti.iy $ C9,027.23 , being .ho
amount collected In the first half of 1898 on
the 18117 tax. then add $253,828,50 , tha
amount of delinquent school revenue col
lected , and flnally the $537,953.13 cash turned
over by Hartley , and you have almost u mil
lion dollars with which to pay off the $700.-
512.9 ! ! Mr. Meservo boasts of ptylng off ns
a reduction of the state Indebtedness.
Judge Hayward also gave some llgures on
the school collections mid appropriations to
the different counties of the state , showing
how Iho popocrats had appropriated to
themselves ihc results of republican pros
perity. They had taken Iho first two
halves of 1897 and 1898 and compared them
with the two last halves of two prior years
when the people , having Buffered with
drouth and hard times generally , had not
paid the school revenue. They charco tha
republicans with the last halves of 1895 nnJ
189C. He produced figures from the trcaH-
urorB of the two counties ot Douglas und
Lancaster for Illustration.
Unlitrimfor UKIlllnd. .
So far as the penal and eleemosynary In
stitutions of the state are concerned mid
the populist claims of retrenchment he
ridiculed the statements put forth. If tha
penitentiary 1 Belf-sustalnlng now it IB
because there Is a demand for that kind
ot labor which did not exist In the poor
years , and us for the other Institutions the
retrenchment bragged about has been
largely duo to the fact that the blind
boys at Nebraska City hud been fed on
10-cent butter , also the unfortunates of the
School for the Deaf und the School for the
Feeble Minded. These Inmates are not In
n nosltlon to complain. For the Moore
shortage ho considered the blunder of Gov
ernor I'olcomb as much responsible [ IB any
other thing. The governor should have
seen to It that all the money was In the
treasury.
Cenek Duras contrasted the reductions
made of the national debt under republican
rule with the Increases for which the demo
cratic party was responsible. IJuchanan In
creased the public debt In times of peace
from -$23.700,000 to $90,700.000. ami
Orovcr Cleveland added $202,000,000
to It. After the war and under
( /rant's administration and up to 1892
$1.225,000.000 had been paid on the national
debt. Mr. McKlnley. with an Increase of
$200.009.000 , had freed millions of suffering
humanity from Spanish oppression and made
thu nation a power among the nations of the
earth and the flag eland for freedom every
where , whereas Orover Cleveland , with his
$262,000.000 , had done nothing for this
country or the world hut add to their
burdens and Icavn Hie naMon poorer oft
than ever In every wr y with all HH Indus
tries paralyzed.
D. L , Matthews , tie candidate far auditor ,
said the question jfaa whether the people
