The wind blew across the exposition
grounds yrstenlay nt the rate of thirty
miles nn hour , but did not prevent the people -
plo from Journeying out to the White City
In goodly numbers , where they remained
' during the day , staying for the concert at ,
'VV night and were loth to leave even after the
lights bad been turned out. It was appar
V ently a new crowd and ns the weather out of
doors was not ns mild as during the average
autumn day In Nebraska , most of those
who were at tha exposition devoted their cn-
tlro time tc examining the exhibits , hurry
ing from one building to another.
There was no crush upc.n the grounds , but
It was n good sized crowd and there were
no 'special features to draw , so that It wan
evident that It was the exposition and it
alone that waa the attraction In the evenIng -
Ing there was the concert on the Plaza and
the Indian dances , both of which proved to
be ( julto strong magnets , as well as delight
fully entertaining to the city people , as well
n the strangers who were upo7the grounds
for the first time
The Georgia and the "Missouri editors
neru upon the grounds during the evening ,
n couple of hundred strong , and found much
to amuse them From a casual observation
they pronounced the exposition flrst class
nnd added that they were convinced that
they will bo better pleased with It when
they come to see It by daylight today.
The preliminaries for the proper observ
ance of Georgia day were completed ye * er-
day and everything Is ready for the visitors
who wll | visit the grounds In a body this
*
morning Many of the Georgia people ar
rived yesterday and were upon the grounds ,
being recognizable by the button or badge
which they have adopted. It Is a circular
button , suspended from n brass bar by a
red , white nnd blua ribbon. The face of the
button 1s pure white , while printed ncrosn
It IB the Dingle word , "Georg-la. " There was
no nt tempt to hold any exercises , the pur
pose of those who came being to famli.urlzc
themselves with the grounds and the loca
tion of the building * .
Today promises much for the exposition ,
ns a number of npecln | days hove been
merged Into one It Is Georgia day- with a
tet program nt the Auditorium , Children's
day , when thousands of the children from
South Omaha nnd out In HIP sta'o will at
tend In addition to this , U Is Old Settlers'
diiy nn occasion when many of the early
icsldcnts of this and adjoining states will
gather and exchange greetings and talk
over the dnys of pioneer life In the west
The old settlers will not have a program ,
but will observe the occasion In n very
Informal wny Their headquarters will bo
at the Nebraska building on the Blutt tract
In tbo evening there will bo the usunl
band concert on the Plazu , with a series of
Rtorcoptlcon views , showing pictures of
noted Americans who have had much to
do with cementing the friendly feeling thnt
exists between tbo north nnd the south
In addition to this , there will bo fireworks
on the North tract , one of the set pieces
being the governor of Georgia In fire.
Saturday promises to bo one of the big
days of the exposition , ns It Is the occasion

Captalu Mercer has lined his Indlins up
and will have them give a shnm battle at

amusement and entertainment of the nu

that time. The battle will be fought along
substantially the same lines as those which
have been Keen upon former occasions ,
though there will be an Interesting side
feature thrown In. There will bo a scalping
act , which will be performed according to
the latest nnd most approved style. Of
course a scalp will not be really pulled off.
but to all Intents and purposes tt will
suffice.
On this occasion the Sioux and their al
lies will bo camoed out In the east end of
the lot , whllo the Blackfeet and their co
horts will hold the position down In the
trees near the west line of the grounds.
A Sioux Indian , Grass , who has been cap
tured and burned at the stake so many
times In the mimic warfare that ho enjoys
It , will be brought and tied to a pole and a
slow nro kindled about him. About this
time some of Gocs-to-War's brav'es will
discover that things nre being made warm

Sioux how things are going. Goes-to-War

About the time when the heat begins to

the Sioux and will drive them off , kllllne

ocrat to so shape the work of this conven
tion that he shall render possible the return

The rJiUform.
The democratic party of the state of New
} eric in convention assembled declares as
follows :
It congratulates the country upon the suc
cessful termination of a war umlertaken-
not for conquest or aggrandizement , but Ir
the Interests of humanity , liberty and civ-
lilzntlon Wo glory In the patriotic devo-
t'on ' and vnlor of our bravo soMlera and
sailors who have honored the American people
ple and heightened the luster of our na
tional fame.
The scandalous abuse by the president ol
his power of appointment. In scattering
army commissions among Inexperienced anil
Incompetent civilians as rewards to pernonal
favorites and almost to the exclusion ol
experienced soldiers In the service Is largely
accountable for the fearful pufTerlUK nnil
the appalling loss of life among the gitlibnl
soldiers that have brought disgrace upon the
administration and a sense of shame to the
nation.
A democratic congress will , If chosen by
the people , rigidly Investigate the conduct ol
the war and expose nnd punish all who may
be responsible for the unnecessary deaths
privations and sufferings of the soldiers.
The resolutions are silent on national af
fairs further than endorsing "the prin
ciples and policies of Jeffersonlan democ
racy. " They favor a reduction of canal
expenditure and the repeal of the Raines
liquor law ; declare In favor of economy Ir
public expenditures , the abolition of un
necessary offices nnd commissions , a lowei
tax rate , a reduction In the number of spe
cial laws , a fair and just enforcement ol
tbo state civil service laws , Impartial en
forcement of the soldier preference law ;
and the restoration of the national guard
to the high Ktandard of efficiency which
under democratic governors It so long en
joyed.
Thomas Scarmody of Penn Ynn mentioned
for the first time In the convention the name
of Colonel William J. Bryan. The conven
tion went Into an uproar of applause. Dele
gates sprang to their seats and , waving hat !

WASHINGTON. SopU 29. Important re
sults arc likely to follow the extensive tour
of Inspection of the military camps just
: ompleted by Secretary Alger and especially
n the matter of reorganizing the hospital
service In the flcld. The secretary conferred
closely with commanding officers and medical
officers at the camps , but especially with the
Iftecn colonels whom he mot , looking to
the ascertainment of thplr views upon the
relative merits of the division hospital and
the reslmental hospital.
Each had strong advocntcs and It remained
tor the secretary to endeavor to reconcile
their divergent views. The defect of the
division hospital. In the mind of tha soldiers ,
Is the separation of the soldiers of the same
regiment , causing great discontent , low
spirits and discouragement. The men will
often go to great lengths to conceal real Ill
ness In order to escape being sent to the
hospital. Against the regimental hospital
It Is urged that the men cannot be properly
taken care of with troops on the move , with
no female nurses , and the lack of every
sanitary and medical device that modern
practice has come to regard essential. No
where were the complaints of neglect and
Insufficient accommodations for the sick no
numerous as In the cases of these regimental
hospitals In the early stages of the war.
Many of the objectionable features of these
can be removed In times of pence , as at
present , when the troop * nre not subject
to sudden changes of location as when In the
field of war.
After a thorough examination of the rela
tive merits and demerits of the two plans
Secretary Alger has formed n project which
he has now under consideration for the
amalgamation of the corps In such a manner
as to retain the moat desirable of both
His plan Is to have the dlvisfon hospital
arranged In sections of tents , lying In wings
branching off from a central aisle. These
can be very easily made by the use of a few-
files and a proper connection of the common
A tents. Then the sections nre to he allotted
to the different regiments In the division ,
each In care of one of the regimental doc
tors. In this wny the regiment may have
the Individuality of their commands , one
section being assigned to each company In
the regiment , thus Insuring the sick fulling
In with their mates when they go to the
hospital. Secretary Alg r believes that sol
diers would thus be reconciled to going tc
the division hospital , where th.ey can secure
the best of food and luxuries , being along
side their companions nnd receive 'the bene
fits of laundries and kitchens.

French INiMiMiaper CoinmciH.
PARIS , Sept. . 29. The French
newspapers continue to comment upon
the difficulties which the two com
missions will have to fuce by reason
of their divergent Instructions , beyond
which , It Is snld , they cannot go. Gil
Bias says the Spanish government hns given
Its commissioners very precise instructions
They are to do their utmost to lm\o II
admitted that there can be no question ol
disputing the rights of Spanish sovereignty
over Manila , the island of Luzon nnd the
rest of the archipelago , outside of the naval
stations which Spain will cede at the Mar-
alanno Islands.
On the other side , the American commis
sion , before leaving President McKlnley , re
ceived from him -very precise Instructions ,
from which the commissioners rannot de
part. The following , according to Gil Bins ,
Is the text of their Instructions.
1. Spain cede * absolute sovereignty ovei
the whole of the Island of Luzon
2- , The other Islands of the nrchlpelngr
will be replaced under the dominion ol
Spain on condition that a liberal govecn'
ment Is accorded < o the Inhabitants
3. Complete separation o < church nnc
stnto In the Philippines.
4. Spain cannot cede nny other Islands Ir
the group to nny foreign power wlthoui
America's consent.
5. The United States shall enlov for nil
time the snme commorclnt nrlvllcKes ns th <
most favored nations , not excepting Spnlr
herself
Gil Bias concludes with remarking"It
Is therefore to be feared that for unhappy
Spain the negotiations which open on the
first of October will giro no satisfaction. "

day a reporter succeeded In tracing Mrs ,

and brought down her trunk alone. Jus !
as he was about to put the trunk on tht
top of the hansom one of the porters cami
along nnd aided him In lifting It on the cnb
The porter was In a huff and left then
before the cab btarted. An old newsvender
who has stood In front of the hotel for .
month , was jostled out of the way by thi
cab and was attracted by the controvcrsj
between the porter and the cabby. Thli
man was dtacovercd today and said he heart
Mrs. Wilbur distinctly tell the cabby ti
drive her to Euston station. It Is evident
therefore , that Mrs. Wilbur , finding It 1m
possible to secure an asylum at a hole
and knowing that a reporter was close upoi
her track , decided to leave London for Bomi
of the suburbs at once.
The reporter epent the afternoon amonj
porters , officials and others In attcndnnci
