Notwithstanding the fact that there were
no special features carded for yesterday at
the exposition the attendance wao better
than It usually Is ou a Monday. The vis
itors wcro nearly all strangers from cities
and towus some distance away and had
evidently come for the purpose of spend
ing a greater portion of the week in the
city and on the grounds. They came singly
and In pairs and there were a great mauy
men with their families. They brought their
wlvqs and children , not only to see the ex
position , but for the purpose of gazing upon
the Ak-Sar-Bcn parades as well.
The llvo stock show on the North tract
wan another magnut that brought In many
visitors yesterday. There were hundreds of
stockmen and others Interested In live stock.
While the show does not open until this
afternoon there were many who were anx
ious to be on the ground early and get
their bearings In order to be able to locate ,
without losing time , the particular classes
in which they have on interest.
When it came to nlghtseelng , the weather
of yesterday made it anything but pleasant.
The weather man promised cooler weather
and it came , bringing along a most dic-
y agrecablo wind that raised the dnst and
took.lt In clouds , carrying It over the fluids
nnd depositing It lu the exposition grounds
nnd about the buildings. However , as the
weather was not balmy and summer like ,
visitors devoted more time to a close 'ex
amination of the exhibits and all day long
tha big buildings wcro crowded to their
utmost capacities. This was particularly true
with the Government. Agriculture and Lib
eral Arts buildings , where the crowds
seemed to congregate.
Aside from the regular progrum there Is
little In store for the visitors todny. H
was to have been observed as Michigan' day ,
but as nona of the pcop' " ' from Michigan
have put In on appearance nnd aj oouo of
them are likely to come therq will ha no

UK A I , SAXTIAGO WAR IIAM.OOX.
of the One Which WIIN
Punctured hy Spnulnli llnllrt * .
The big war balloon which was sent up at
Santiago became a part of the government
exhibit yesterday morning. It Is hangimt
from the celling a little south of tha center
of the building. At first It was thought It
could bo stretched out so as to show how
badly It was riddled by the Spanish bullets
during the short time that It was In the
air , but the coating of varnish on It has
stuck It together HO tightly that It could not
bo spread out. As It hangs only a slight
Idea of Its size can be obtained.
The balloon was thrown Into a box when
It arrived at Montauk Point and was shipped
here just as It was received , covered with
mud from the bottom of the San Juan river ,
where It lay for two days after the trial
trip. On its arrival a great deal of diffi
culty was experienced In making tt present
able.
It was expected that the balloon would
play a very Important part In the campaign
around Santiago. Several similar monsters
had been sent to Tampa early in tbo war
for operation against Havana. When the
scene of action shifted to the southern coast
of Cuba onn of .them was hurried on board
a transport and reached the front a few days
before the first engagement. It made a trial
trip from a point near the rear and was
found to work satisfactorily. Sergeant Ivy
Baldwin , who Is now with the signal corps
under Captain Yanccy , was the first to go up
In It. A test was made of the Instrument : )
and when everything was In readiness the
balloon was carried to the front.
The ascent was made from an open spot
near the bank of the San Juan river. The
cable was let out only far enough to allow
the balloon to safely skirt the trees and the
men on the ground carried the windlass
In the direction of the Spanish fortifications.
Approaching the rifle pits of the enemy
thew drew a heavy lire , but at first no shots
were aimed In the direction of the balloon.
The men In charge of the windlass kept
under cover of the trees and were able to
reach the bank of the river. Hero It was
Impossible for them to carry the cable fur
ther and It was decided to let the balloon
up a little higher and throw the cable
across the stream over the tops of the trees ,
It was In carrying out this plan that the
attention of the Spaniards was first called
to the thing In the air. They Immediately
turned their muzzleo skyward and punctured
Its thin walls with bullets. The holes were
so small , however , that the balloon did not
como down Immediately , but after three or
four shells had burst against Its sides it
collapsed nnd fell In the river.
This was the only attempt at scanning the
fortifications from mid-air , for on the next
day the scouts had arrived and had reported
fully all the , necessary Information. The
day after the ibattle the balloon was recov
ered from Its bed of mud and s ut north.
Eight of the men who wcro with the bal
loon when It made Us disastrous trip are
now with Captain Yancoy. They are : Ser
geant Ivy Baldwin , John Kennedy , Charles
j B. Myers , James D. Watson , Martin Nord-
I qutst and Charles A. Blackwood and Privates
Harry M. Bunco , Isaac Lloyd and Thomas
S , Jackson.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 3. Warrants were
Issued today for the arrest of United States
Senator Matthew Stanley Quay , his eon ,
Utchard II. Quay , cx-Stato Treasurer Bcn-
jamin J. Haywood and Charles H. McKcc
of Plttsburg , law partner of Lieutenant
Governor l.yon. They are accused of con
spiracy with John S. Hopkins , formerly
cashier of tbo People's bank , to use public
moneys for their awn use. Hopkins kilted
himself last March shortly before the
bank's failure.
Senator Quay and his son came up from
Atlantic City as soon asthey heard of
their Intended arrest. They promptly sur
rendered themselves and Magistrate Jer-
mon held them In $5,000 ball each for a
hearing at noon next Thursday. David II.
Lane , the republican leader , became their
bondsman and this afternoon they returned
to the seashore. Dy advice of their attor
ney they declined to discuss the case. They
will como back to the city on Wednesday
so as to be In full time for the hearing.
Mr. Haywood Is in Omaha and Mr. McKee
In New York.
United States Senator Pcnrose , who was
with his coflengue this afternoon , spoke
freely after the latter's departure for At
lantic City.
"I presume Senator Quay will not aako
any statement at this juncture , " said he ,
"regarding this last dastardly attack of
his malevolent enemies , though doubtless
he will at the proper time. There Is , how
ever , no reason why I , his colleague and
personal friend , should be silent.
"Attempted assassination of character has
been almost the solo weapon of attack em
ployed by Senator Quay's opponents for sev
eral years and the methods pursued have
been augmented In vlclousness and In vln-
dlctlvoness as their futility has been demon
strated. As the last , despairing effort of
unscrupulous opponents comes this move of
the opposition who have had It on their
program for several weeks In the hope
that It might aid In the election of a demo
cratic legislator.
"In due time there will bo a complete
exploitation of the true Inwardness of this
latest act In the drama of character assas
sination now so conspicuous a feature In
Pennsylvania i > ollttcs. "
Detective Mnkm Alllilnrlt.
The warrants were made out on Satur
day by Magistrate Jermon at the Instance of
District Attorney Graham , and on the affi
davit of Charles F. Myers of the district at
torney's office. * Myers is a detective and
acted on Information furnished by Thomas
W. Barlow , receiver for the People's bank.
The affidavit on which the warrant was
issued is as follows :
Stuto .of Pennsylvania , C.II.V .tfpd C/iun-
ty"of Philadelphia.'BK : 1 , Charles " F.
Myers , being sworn according tt

Will I'ronecnte VlKoroimly.
District Attorney Graham said that frorr
evidence In the shape of letters and papers
furnished to him ho believed It was hi !
, duty to begin proceedings. Ho added :
I I propose to have n hearing ns quickly a :
poaElblo and to'produce at that hearing , al
the facts necessary to a binding over. Semi
of the facts will be reserved until the tlm <
of the trial.
If the state of affairs as represented to mi
is true It ought to bo exposed. This rotten'
ness ought to bo shown up , no matter upor
whom It reflects. It Is not my practice t <
speak in advance of the trial of a case nn <
I will say nothing further as to Its merits
It was first brought to my knowledge 01
Friday. Although Mr. Hnrlow Is asslstan
district attorney , none of these facts wai
given mo by him. He always kept his dutle :
as receiver entirely separate from his dutle :
In this ofllce. When sent for In connectlot
with the evidence that we sought ho cheer
fully and willingly delivered up what wni
In bis possession.
Mr. Graham expressed a firm determina
tion to proceed vigorously.
Judge McMancs , former president of th <
defunct Peoples' bank , said he had knowi
the warrants wcro to be Issued , althougl
he had noting to do with the action. Ho as
scrted Ignorance of any actions justifying it
Judge McManes added :
Scna'tor ' Quay and his ran Richard both hue
their personal notes discounted at the bank
the last of which matured after the bant
clcscd Its doors. The notes wore prompt ! ;
paid when due and neither Mr. Quay nor hli
son Is Indebted to the bunk ono dollar tha
I know of. My feelings toward Mr , Quo ;
and the other men arc of the most frlendl :
character. Mr. Quay and I had our differ
ences In day ? gone by , but they were patchei
up lone ago.
( omen In Ulilnl of Hitler Cnmpnlini
The news struck political circles of a ]
shades of faith like a thunderbolt and ;
variety of explanations wer-s given r.r.d dis
cussed throughout the day. The affair ac
quired additional significance from the 'ar
that It comes in tin- midst of one of th
most bitter campaigns ever fought betweei
Quay and his opponents , Involving the ques
lion of his re-election to the senate.
Tlw People'ii bank suspended buslnes
March H. last , and It developed that Cash ) ?
Hopkins had committed suicide. At thl
tlmo the state had on deposit In the ban'
$505,000 and the city $52,000. but the lust !
tutlon was Insolvent. President .Mc.Mauc
agreed to make good the amount of llablll
ties and most of it has since been i > a'il.
Mr. Haywood was at The Dee cilice las
evening. All the 'Information he bad 01
the oubject was the dispatch he had reai
In The Evening Dee. Ho was profound ! ,
surprised. He had heard no Intimation o
such a thing previously. In discussing th
matter. Mr. Haywood slid :
"I had no official connection with th
People's bank of Philadelphia at the Urn
of its failure , or previously. I was stat <
treasurer at the tlmo of the falluro , las
February , and had $505,000 of state fund
on deposit there. My term expired thl
spring and I am now cashier tn the preaen
treasurer. Since the fairuro of the banl
the full amount of my deposit has beei
paid by thf bank receiver to the state
Ninety per rent of It was pal I before
started on my vacation a month ago. Th
J baUnc fliat been paid elnco I left borne ,
have been traveling through the west for
several weeks and Intended to reach homo
about October 10. I know no reason why
I should be arrested , though I ramo from
Papllllon tonight to surrender If It was
necessary. I will go buck to Pennsylvania
without an officer , though I am Indifferent
about the matter. I never speculated In tha
funds of the state as charged. The bank
still owes mo a small sum ou my private
account. As to the losses or the cause of
the batik's failure , I know nothing. "
Mr. Haywood Is accompanied by his wife
and has been at the Paxton hotel for sev-
rat days. Last week ho went down to
Papllllon to visit Jamefi S. Powell , his
brother-in-law. On a telephone message he
caino to Omaha last night to lenrn the de
tails of the afTair.

was there that Chief Martin White found
Mr. Haywood lasO night nnd placed him
under arrest In accordance with the request
of State's Attorney Graham of Philadelphia.
Mr. Haywood had seen the evening paper
and had thus been advised of what was Im
pending. Ho came up from Papllllon , where
ho had spent the day. When Chief White
told him he was under arrest Mr. Haywood
simply asked when ho was to
start for Pennsylvania. He said ho
was ready to go back at once ,
although ho did not Intend returnIng -
Ing before the 10th of the month. Chief
White wired to Attorney Graham , asking It
permission could not ba given Mr. Haywood
to remain here a few days longer. No

A detective was left at the hotel last night
In chnrgo of the prisoner. Whenever the re

CHICAGO , Oct. 3. A Dally News Wash
ington special says : Hawaii Is to have n
government patterned after that of the
District of Columbia , If reports arc true.
The system here was dovlsed by Senator
William P. White of Maryland and is satis
factory to a majority of the residents ot
Washington In spite of the perennial agita
tion for "home rule" on the part of the
minority here. The general government as
sumes one-half the taxrri , The District of
Columbia Is the ward of the. government
just as the Hawaiian Islands now are ; there
fore the proposition to govern the recently
annexed dependency In a similar manner
meets with much favor and tbe prospect
In that It will receive the sanction of con
gress. The establishment of this system foi
the Hawaiian Islands will avoid all the em
barrassments and complications which , Iti \
feared , would result from a territorial form
of government Including even a modified

McAllister , alias Catherine Wilbur , alias
Mrs. Dr. Nancy Gullford , was called before
Mr. Lushlngton , the magistrate In that
court.
There had been a long scries of loc.il mis
demeanors heard before Mrs. McAllister wua
summoned to the bar. The court room was
filled with people , many of whom had heard
of the arrest of the American woman , and
a peculiar hush fell over the court room
when the constables escorted Mrs. Gutlford
to the bridge.
Shu was attired somewhat differently from
when : i reporter first Informed her at Liver
pool that the American authorities bad : i
suspicion that the woman traveling In the
name of Mrs. Wilbur was In reality Mrs.
Dr. Gullford -Connecticut. . She hcd ex
changed her black straw hat , with Its
flaunting feathers , for a neat bonnet , which
sat rather becomingly upon her head. The
astrakhan jacket , which figured so conspic
uously In her Identification , hnd been ex
changed for a beaver trimmed cape , which
she wore over a brown silk waist , with
smallxred and yellow stripes. A black silk
skirt and black kid gloves , with white
stitching on the back , completed her mod
est costume.
Changed ns was Mrs. Wilbur's dress , her
face bore even a moro marked contrast from
her appearance of a week aco. All the
spirit of defiance that she had maintained up
to her arrest on Saturday was gone. She
seemed to have lost pounds In weight. Her
features wcro sharp , and the drawn lines
about her ryca and mouth Indicated years
of suffering that hnd been compressed Into
seven short days. So depressed was sheen
on ascending the bridge In the crowded
court room that her counsel at once asked
the magistrate If the prisoner might sit
down during the examination.
Innpcctor * Tmtlnionv.
Inspector Frank C. Freest of Scotland
Yard was the first witness called. Inspector
Freest said :
"At 2:30 : o'clock on Saturday afternoon I
went to No. 25 Harrington Square , Hamp-
stcad. In the front room on the second floor
I saw the prisoner. I said : 'I am a police
officer. What Is your name ? ' The prisoner
replied : 'Mrs. McAllister. ' 'Where do you
como from ? ' I asked. 'From Chicago , ' she
replied. 'How long have you been here ? '
'For six months. ' 'At what hotel were you
before 'you came to this pracoV 'I came di-
- ' ' "
roctly--hei'e.
, Ffoest then said to Mrs. McAllister : "I
shall have to detain you , as many state
ments you have made I have reason to be
lieve are false. I believe you are Mrs. Dr.
Nancy A. Gullford and I arrest you on a
.provisional warrant charging you with the
commission of the crime of manslaughter
within the jurisdiction of the American
government.'Sho replied by sajlng :
"This Is an outrage. It is not true. I
will see my counsel. "
"I then took her to Bow street prison ,
charged on a warrant with the above
crime , " continued the inspector. "There
she refused to give her name , address and
occupation. In her room in Harrington
Square when arrested I found a large
steamer trunk and handbag. I conveyed
them to Scotland Yard and there directed
Sergeant Harris to search them. Before
leaving Harrington Square I asked Mrs.
McAllister to hand mo any documents she
might have In her possession. She handed
mo this. "
Inspector Freest then handed the court
a written statement without an address
and without a signature slmpry thanking
the person to whom directed for services
rendered. There was also a pockctbook con
taining a safe deposit key and a purse
from which the name had been cut out.
Inert initiating llvldenee.
Sergeant Harris of Scotland Yard was the
next witness and produced the traveling
bag which Mrs. Wilbur carried In her hand
when eho was. first accosted by a reporter.
Sergeant Harris said that Saturday evening
ho received the trunk and bag from Inspector
specter Froest. "I found a number of tea
spoons In the trunk marked 'Dr. G. ' " fiald
ho. "They were engraved on the handle. "
The spoons were handed to the court. "I
also found , " eald the witness , "two thimbles
and a surgical Instrument known as a
sound' and used In criminal operations on
women. There was also a gold and a silver
thimble , one marked 'A. G. from F. ' and
the other 'N. A. G. ' There were also a
number of drugs In bottles and boxes in
the trunk. I also recovered three linen
handkerchiefs which I have here nnd from
which the Initials and laundry marks have
been clipped out. "
A. Lamoolh , a Scotland Yard detectlvo
from Liverpool , testified that ho saw the
prisoner on board the steamer Vancouver
on her arrival at Liverpool last Tuesday ;
that bo saw her In carriage N. 1 on the
1 Kprclal steamer train leaving Riverside sta
tion ; saw her again ut Huston million and
Identified her as a passenger.
Inspector Freest told the court he had re
ceived Information from the United Statea
authorities that persons having the proper
identification of Mrs. Gullford would sail
for England this week and asked that she
be remanded until their arrival.
Charlas Hodson of the American embassy
explained that the American authorities
were , doing all In their power to hasten the
means for Identifying Mrs. McAllister its
Mrs. Gullford and that warrants would soon
bo forthcoming.
Mr. Lushlngton then remanded the prisoner
for a week , pending the arrival of extradl-
1 tlon papers , and she was taken to Holloway
Jail.
Your correspondent Is able to nay on the
highest possible authority that Mrs. Gull-
ford will return to the United States In her
own name and that all questions an to
Identity will bo waived upon the arrival
I of the United States authorities next week.
Mrs. Gullford's claim Is that there Is no
justification for her arrest In connection
with the Bridgeport tragedy and that she Is
absolutely Innocent of any participation In
fTu killing of Emma GUI. This statement
wr > t made fate tonight after all the circum
stances inthe case had been considered
and may be accepted as abpolutely au
thentic.

BERLIN , Oct. 3. A most Important reve

by t'ue Gorman government's announcement
In the seml-officlfll press today tint It haa
rervlvnj information showing taat American
perk haa entered Germany without a cer-
tllieaU' . Inquiry made ut the I'nl'ed Slates
fmbnKcv confirms the reuort that the dis
covery had been made. Thousands of tons
of American pork have been Imported
through a number of customs houses for
years pas' without a certificate. The Gor
man goveiment Has Ignorant of the fact
and denied It until overwhelming evidence
was obtained and submitted by the em-
hassy'K scientific attache. Mr. Smith. The
embassy has requested the foreign office to
Instruct the customs houses to Insist lu
every case upon a certificate. No American
firm Is Implicated In these Importations ,
which explain the alleged discoveries of
trichinae In American pork. German deal

Ceiilral Unllwiiy.
LANSING , Mich. , Oct. 3. Governor Pin-
' gree has failed In his effort to force tbo
Michigan Central railroad to scrl family
mileage books nt a rate of 2 cents n mile.
A decision filed by the state supreme
court late Ibis afternoon decides lliat the
'
Michigan Central's special charter unnues-
| tlonably confers the right upon the company -
( pany to fix its own rates of tolls , and this
Is a vested right \\hlch cannot bo with
drawn by the Btnto without adequate com-
pcntatlon therefor.
The court HHO ! decides that a Inw passed
by the legislature of 1891 , regulating the
1 cost of mileage books to 2 cents per mlle ,
1
has no application to the Michigan Central
and that the onl'y way 1o clfect the change
I drslred by the governor Is to have the leg
islature amend the charter of thtt company ,
| which means that the state must compensate -
. sate the company for any damage Involved ,
! The suit was begun by Governor PIngrec
J on the refusal of a Michigan Central ticket
| agent at Detroit to sell him a family mllo-
age book In compliance with a law passed
! { Uy the last legislature.
I DETROIT. Oct. 3. Governor PIngrec
apparently was not surprised at the su
preme court's decision In his mileage
ticket case. He declared that the Michigan
! Central was being favored since the legls-
j laturo was restrained from rcguratlng It *
i rates , along with these on other roads.

lias been flred today lu the pacific duel now
going on at Qual d'Orsay and the S | > nnlsti
commissioners are staggered. The demand
for the retentloii of the Philippines tn a
more or less modified form was presented
and the Spaniards have therefore asked tor
tliuo to weigh the position. Accordingly ,
the next joint meeting will not take place
tin Friday.
The nature of the American demands Is
not known , but they were presented alter
General Merrill paid his official \lult to -\\c \ \

tenor may bo conjectured.
In addition to calling on the commission
Ocncral Mcrrltt paid his respects to Am

In the afternoon. Owing to the vibration of
the train General Mcrrltt got no Bleep com

the superiority of American cars In this re
spect.
The Joint commission Is to be Introduced
'to President Fauro tomorrow especially nt
the Elysee. The foreign minister , aided by
the American and Spanish ambassadors , will
make the presentation. Scnor Monfero Hlos
Is suffering from a cold.
Temps , In a leader , Bays tonight : "The
question of the Philippines Is full of doubt
and obscurity. Americans afllrm that the
vagueness of the protocol gives them the
right , from the moment of Its signature , to
dispose as they like of the whole arohlpelnco
and If that plea falls the right of illspos&l Ii
theirs by conquest of 'tho ' Spaniards' ? On t.iri
does not by any terms envisage the trautfer
of sovereignty and as tbo capture of Manila
was posterior the governor In capitulating
could only dispose of the town. "
Temps strongly advises Spain to hold the
islands and devote herself to her own mate
rial and moral regeneration.

LEE EXPECTS TO GO TO CUBA
Xo Intention of fioliiK lu Advance ol
lllH Conimniid Health of
IIl CorpN ! fiood.
NEW YORK , Oct. 3. General Fitzhugh
Lee , Interviewed In this city , said tbo Sev
enth army corps , of which ho IB commander ,
would probably go to Cuba about the last
of this month. Ho had fifteen regiments un
der liln command , and the general health of
the corps was excellent. Only about 2 per
cent bad been on tha sick list since they
had been encamped nt Jacksonville. "Wo'vo
got excellent water , " ho said. "It comes
from artcslnn wells and pipes are run
throughout the camp with a spigot at tbo
head of each company street. "
When asked whether Colonel W. J.
Bryan's regiment would bo mustered out.
General Leo said he did not know. One Ne
braska regiment would bo mustered out
nnd the choice had been left to the gov
ernor of Nebraska.
"My corps Is in fine condition and well
drilled. " ald General Lee. "You know
when thcro'R any fighting olng on I like
the volunteers , hut In tlmo of peace they
have too many fathers and mothers , broth-
cm and sisters and cousins and aunta who
want to get them out of Iho service. "
"Do you expect to go to Cuba before your
corps ? " ho WUH asked.
"No. " was the answer. I had too much
trouble In staying there without soldiers
when I wan there last. "
General Lee did not know that any com
mander had been suggested to takn com
mand of all the troops In Cuba. He wag In
clined to think that the Island would be
divided Into departments with ono general
In command of each department , but of
course , ono man might bo put in command
of all. Ho thought at least 75,000 Spanish
eoldlera would be sent back to Spain , but
Rome would prefer 'to ' remain , because they
had llttlti to look for In Spain. Many of
thorn bad not been paid for nine months
when ho wait last there.
General Lee will go to Washington to ap
pear tin a wltnets before the Investigating
committee.
