With the great attractions of Jubilee week
only a day ahead It was not to bo supposed
that the exposition would receive more than
n limited patronage ycsrcrday. llut the
dhow proved big enough to command atten
tion even If thousands of people were wait
ing for the great spectacles that will begin
tomorrow , and It was one of the biggest and
most enjoyable Saturdays since Vho exposi
tion opened.
The vcrsatllltJy of the Nebraska climate
was again demonstrated when the visit
ing Knickerbockers were greeted by a
day reminiscent of all the beauties of the
Kmplro state when the chestnut ridges are
Y nglow with red and gold nnd crimson nnd
the smoky October hnzo mantles Its massive
hills and hovers sleepily over Us smiling
valleys. The air was crisp and Invigorating
nnd tempered by the radiance of a red Oc
tober sun , that shone rcsplcndently from a
sky as clear as that which reflects the In
comparable beauty of Now York lakes and
mountains. It was the sort of weather
that Inspires humanity to its highest sus
ceptibility of enjoyment and It left nothing
lacking to make the pleasure of the visitors
complete.
The Ideal beauty of the day , combined
with the attraction afforded by the presence
of so distinguished a party , combined to In
duce an exceptionally generous attendance
for the last day of the week , and all thr ugh
the morning the turnstiles clicked on-
tlnuously. While thousands of visitors were
scattered over the grounds to Improve the
opportunity to see the show under such de
lightful conditions , the Auditorium was the
center of attraction. In addition to the
regular visitors , hundreds of Omaha people
came out solely to hear the distinguished
orator of the day , and the presence of Mr.
Depow was largely responsible for the Im
mense audience that tilled the building to
the limit of Its capacity. After the exercises
had been thoroughly enjoyed the crowd mln-
glc"dwlth the other thousands that were
Peeking enjoyment In every part of the
grounds , and the Empire state visitors Im
proved their first really adequate oppor
tunity to acquire a full appreciation of the
wonderful enterprise. Many of them were
attracted by the various attractions of the
nftcrnoou , but the majority preferred to
epcnd their t'lme In Inspecting the big build
ings and their varied contents They re
garded the exhibits with unstinted admira
tion nnd did not hesitate to declare that
in many respects the Transmlsslsslppl show
was a distinct ! Improvement on the World's
fairToday
Today the celebration of Jubilee week , the
crowning feature of the exposition , will be
opened with n grand sacred concert in the
Auditorium. This will bo ono of the most
enjoyable musical events of the summer and
v\lth the 25-cent admission the Sunday attendance ) -
tendanco record should bo broken with a
few thousand to spare. The usual Plaza
concert will occupy this evening , nnd there
will probably bo n religious dance nt the

Auditorium Fllleil by nil Attentive
mill l.ntliiiNlnntle Audience.
The- presence of the largo delegation of
fllstlngulthed citizens of the Empire state
v\ns celebrated by formal exercises In the
Auditorium yesterday forenoon. The great
building was Jammed with people and reso
nant with enthusiasm. Long before 1
o'clock nearly every seat was occupied , nnd
by the time the exercises began scarcely nn
inch of standing room remained unappro
priated.
At exactly 11 o'clock a burst ot long-sus
tained npplatise Indicated the arrival ot the
distinguished guests. Mr. Depow was es
corted to the Btago by President ) Wattles and
followed by the New York delegation , which
tilled tlm remainder ot the stage and several
rows of scats tn tbo pit , which had been ro-
eorved for them. A medley of popular se
lections by Inncs * band was enthusiastically
received and then Jacob Amos , Jr. , of Syra
cuse , secretary of the New York commls-
clon , Introduced Hon. Warner Miller as the
presiding ofllcer of the day.
Warner Miller's Aililrcim.
In Accepting the chair Mr. Miller said that
Tshllo the New York delegation was not
large , It brought the sympathy and best
wishes ot the Kmplro stat . The people of
Now York , he declared , have an abiding In
terest tn the west , which Is the homeof so
many of their children. The great drama
of the last few months has made \\t \ a more
homogeneous people than wo have ever besn
before.
Mr. Miller then introduced President Wat
tles of the exposition , who cordially wel
comed the New Yorkers to the great Trans-
lulsslsslppl enterprise. Ho congratulated
them on the fact that Now York Is the
only eastern state that has a building on
the grounds , nnd assured them that the
cordial good will thus manifested was fully
appreciated. Ho added that one great ob
ject of the exposition was to bring the
people of the east nnd those ot the west
closer together. During the heat of recent
political campaigns It had been repeatedly
.declared that the Interests of the west were
/ t enmity with these ot tbo cast , and more
especially with these of New York. Hut
when the Rough Riders ot the west went
to victory under the leadership of the gal
lant son of the Cmplro state It showed that
the same blood Honed lu every American
citizen , whether he como from the pratrlvs
of the west or the millionaire homes ot
New York.
President Wattles briefly sketched the do-
-velopment ot the west during the last fifty
years , which tbU exposition Is designed to
Illustrate , and added that the events of the
last few mouths have Indicated the neccs-
aUy for a broader commercial existence , and
tbo west looked to the cast for leadership
( n these undertakings.
Dr. Dcpcvt 1'rcMcnlcil.
lu presenting the orator ot the day , Hon.
Chaunccy M. Depow , Chairman Mlllor said
that ho had had no opportunity to look over
the grounds to see what sort of an exhibit
New York had made , but ho now had the
pleasure of presenting the best exhibit It
was capable of making , and one that he was
confident would take the gold medal , the ex
hibit of n man.
When Mr. Depew rose to deliver his ad
dress he received the most dramatic and in
spiring greeting that has yet been tondnreJ
to any exposition orator. An ovation
of hand-clapping began spontaneously
In every part of the house , then
the band Joined In with the melody of "Auld
Lang Syne. " This lent new Inspiration to
the applause and the entire audience rose to
Its feet nnd cheered tumulrously for several
minutes. After gracefully expressing his
appreciation of this royal reception Mr.
Dopew proceeded to deliver one of his char
acteristically eloquent orations , which was
punctuated by frequent and generous ap
plause. Ho said.
Ladles and Gentlemen : Some years ago ,
Chicago , the metropolis of the west , Itself
the most marvelous of the creations of the
latter half of this wonderful century , reared
upon the borders of Lake Michigan an In
dustrial city. The spirits , whose deeds In
classic and eastern tale charmed our child
hood , became commonplace mortals. Ameri
can genius and modern science surpassed In
suggestion and execution the works of demi
gods and genii. The stately palaces , broad
avenues , laKcs and canals of this homo
of Industry nnd the arts drew all the world
within Its walls. In Its conception and ad
ministration the World's fair at Chicago
was a worthy celebration of the 400th an
niversary of the discovery of America by
Columbus , and a fitting tribute to the great
explorer.
Our Industrial progress has been during
the four years since the Chicago exhibition
greater than during any decade In our
history. Our resources have been developed ,
our markets enlarged , and new avenues of
employment opened. We have , In greater
measure than ever before , realized our
dream of producing In our country every
thing required for our necessities or luxu
ries. Prom practical Independence of other
countries for the products of their Holds or
factories , wo have suddenly become their
competitors with our surplus , both within
and without their borders.
The great benefits which the World's fair
at Chicago conferred upon the United States
In acquisition from foreign countries and In
formation to foreign governments , this
Transtnlssisslppi exposition nt Omaha Is
to vastly enhance In bringing nearer to
gether In better understanding of each
other the different sections of our own
country. I heart ! LI Hung Chang say when
here that there were many provinces of
China and millions of Chinamen who had
not hoard of the war with Japun. The light
of the nineteenth century had not pene
trated China's Ironclad Isolation. A ron-
lllct could bo carried on and ended In
which her territory was Invaded , her fleet
destroyed , her cities captured , tens of
thousands of her people killed , and lands
and Islands she had held for centuries
wrested from her , while a large part of the
people of China were peacefully pursuing
their vocations , ignorant of these disasters
to their country. This exhibition has In
creased In Industrial Interest during every
hour of our war with Spain , nnd yet every
pulsation of Us activities and every throb
of the hearts of Its visitors have been
nlovcd with patriotic prayers for the
success of our arms and Intelligent under
standing of the Justice of our cause. Wn
have carried on a war with n foreign coun
try , raised and equipped an army of 250,090
men and n formidable navy , have won great
victories by sea and land , and yet though
our Interests and Industries 'are so Inti
mately connected that , a blow In any eec-
tlon df the country Is felt everywhere1 , this
exhibition has ns serenely continued Its
course as It has enthusiastically celebrated
the deeds of Dovvoy , Sampson , Schley nnd
Hobson , nnd Miles , Shatter and Merrltt.
There could be no happier Illustration of
the boundless rcbources of the United States
nnd Us powers for peace or war. It demon
strates the versatility of the Yankee char
acter and Its adaptability to circumstances.
Ono thing at a time hn had Its day , and no
longer forms a headline for the copy book
of the American boy , Spain Is thoroughly
thrashed with one hand , while the other at
tends with energy nnd efficiency to the busi
ness of the nation.
MlHtakex of cvv York.
New York has been too content with
being the Empire state , and with having Us
chief city the metropolis of the continent ,
the west too eager for empire Independent
of the cast , the south living too much upon
Its traditions and In Its past , anil the Pa
cific slope resting too serenely upon Us
boundless possibilities and gteat expecta
tions. The war with Spain has superbly
restored the sentiment of nationality and
eliminated sectional Jealousies Unt this
exposition Is a healthy educator for com
mercial union. The mission of peace Is to
develop the practical side of patriotism. It
is to teach nnd demonstrate what will pro
mote the development of the whole coun
try nnd the prosperity and happiness of the
whole people.
The concentrated capital of the east It
the fruit of 300 jears of settlement nnd
Undo. It Is needed In the west for rail
roads , Irrigation , mines , water power , fur
naces and mills. It furnishes the transpor
tation facilities which transform the prairie
from the gracing rlalns of the buffalo and
the hunting haunts of the wolf to the
farm , the homestead , and productive power
In herds of cattle and vast fields of wheat
and corn Its hopeful enterprise often finds
for It an untimely crave In boomlnc towns ,
unnecessary railroads and worthless mines.
nut capital Is bath selfish nnd Intelligent.
It never deserts a territory because the
investment has failed through bad Judg
ment It seeks other sources for profitable
employment , and finds Us remuneration In
other and needed work for the developmenl
of the country. Its freemasonry of fear Is
confined by no boundaries of land or sea.
In times and In places of panic and distrust
It dlrappcars aud increases the distress.
With the Teturn of confidence It moves the
machinery of society and makes possible
varied Industries and prosperity. The state
which so legislates ns to take away all
earning power from the money It baa In-
vltod or borrow e < l soon lenrns that It has
gained a temporary advantage and lost Its
credit , which Is the most fruitful source
of profit and prosperity. Differences between
the cast and the west have been duo to
distance , misunderstanding and demagogues.
For n time the sections were dally becom
ing more widely separated. The west was
encouraged to believe that it was plundered
by usurers and extortionists In the east , ant
the cast learned to distrust the Integrity
and Intentions of the west. Par-sighted
citizens of the prairie and mountain states
knew that the resources of this wide ter
ritory had scarcely been touched. Drouth
can be defeated by the ditch. Millions 01
acres from which the homesteader
has fled tn despair and millions more
known as the Great American desert are to
become , through storage reservoirs and Ir
rigation , fruitful farms , thriving settle
ments and happy homes.

LONDON , Oct. S. The marquis of Salis
bury has returned to his duties at the for
eign olllce In an unusually dogged mood , a
complete antithesis of his ordinary manner
aud graceful treatment of the officials. Ho
was extremely disgruntled at the way of
ficial matters concerning China and Fash-
oda have been coming out , although publi
cists of all shades of opinion have been bit
terly complaining of the almost complete Ig
norance lu which the country has been left
respecting all foreign questions. This was
especially the case with Fashoda and It led
to want of confidence In the government
among Us own supporters which has been
amply demonstrated by the dairy outcry of
the conservative press against the climb-
down of the British which they see.
The reversal of things In China has also
been a theme for lamentation at the mar
quis of Salisbury's tnvertebrnteness. The
dispatch of Cossacks and field guns to guard
the Russian legation at Pekln In addition to
marines as sent by the other embassies is
considered very significant.
The British premier , however , seems to
realize that trouble Is brewing In the cast ,
as largo quantities of war stores are going
to Hong Kong , while the first class cruiser
Terrible , has been ordered to Join Us sister
ship , the Powerful , on the China station so
soon as small repairs arc completed. These
cruisers are the Fargcst tn the world ,
Germanizing the TriuiMianl.
Disquieting news from the Transvaal has
reached the British foreign olilco. President
Kruger has commanded the Urltlsh subjects
In the Transvaal to Join the Durghcr forces
sent against the rebellious chief Mocfu , who
Is preparing for battle on a large scale. All
the roads In northern Transvaal are hold
by armed Kaffirs and the Boers are likely to
have a dlfllcult task.
President Kruger has the letter of the law
on his side in ordering British subjects in
the Transvaal to Join the Burgher force , but
the Brltlsb decrare they will refuse to flght
for thejioers while they are dlbcufianchlsed. '
The political side of Emperor William's
visit to Palestine is attracting close atten
tion hem.
Germany for the past twenty years has
had an cvo on Asia Minor as her part' of
the spoils when the Ottoman empire col
lapses. The German emperor , since the Ar
menian trouble , has obtained a strong foot
hold In that part of the world.
Germans have obtained railroad , land and
other concessions In Asia Minor and are
generally showing a disposition to settle
these peimanently. The English news
papers express the conviction that Emperor
William's Idea Is to foster this German set
tlement and when Turkey collapses Ger
many will Justly claim a slice of Asia Minor ,
from the Aegean sea to Arabia , where there
Is room for 10,000,000 Gorman emigrants
who would otherwise go to the United States
or to British colonies.
The Spectator points out that Emperor
William's first Idea of Germanizing the
Transvaal , South Brazil and parts of Africa
failed. The project ) failed tn South Brazil
owing to the dread In Berlin that It might
lead to war with America. The Spectator
adds :
"If , however , America had been paralyzed
with a European war , an seemed for a few-
hours possible during the Venezuelan dis
pute , Germany's opportunity would have ar
rived. The question of the possibility of
permission tto acquire Cuba met with an
angry negative and wo have llttlo doubt
Washington has been asked to conciliate
Germany with a share tn the Philippine
Islands. "
The Spectator concludes with remarking
"Emperor William's frequent change of ob
ject ) accounts for his non-success , while his
efforts In different directions have roused , or
are arousing , the sleepless distrust of Great
Britain , Russia and the United States. "
American Volunteern at Manila.
The Times Is publishing a series of let
ters from Manila , describing the American
achievements there. Its correspondent , re
ferring to the American volunueers , warmly
praises their work , but adds there Is no
question that the men are now most anxious
to go home. Ho sajs.
"There brief experience In actual warfare -
faro established a notable fact. It proved
them courageous , decent , high-minded sol
diers worthy of every confidence and cheer
ful In all circumstances. If the laurels they
have gained are small In comparison with
these which were gained by the heroism of
their comradca at Santiago , they are none
the less honorable , for no men could have
endured moro or worked harder than they
or have shown moro valor"

The Field this week devotes Its leading
article to contrasting British and American
race riding , and for the first time in its
history It endorses something American.
The Field gays
"There was n time when Englishmen
thought themselves supreme In everything
concerning the horse , but that Idea Is being
very surely and particularly knocked on the
head , for American horses have won some
of our best races , and now Sloan comes
among us to show our Jockeys he has a
style apparently superior to theirs. "
Tbe Field characterizes as absurd and
unsportsmanlike the published suggestion
that owners should boycott Sloan , aa his
victories are won by trick , and asks what
would Englishmen have said If similar
treatment had been meted out to English
Jockeys on American race courses. In con
clusion , the Field remarks :
"Not a single word was ever brought up
about unfairness In Sloan's riding , and he
is entitled to full praise for his victories ,
It would bo equally unjust and ungenerous
to deny him full credit for what ho hai
accomplished , for It Is not sportsmanlike
to attempt to explain awny defeat. "

NEW SENATOR FRUM OREGON
Two Yearn' Content Over Election of
Siicccnxor to John II. Blltclicll End *
In Selection of Joncph Simon.
SALEM , Ore. , Oct. 8. Hon. Joseph Simon
of Portland was today elected United States
senator by the legislature In Joint session ,
to fill the vacancy which has'existed since
March , 1897. Mr. Simon received the entire
vote ot the republicans. The ballot stood :
Simon , 64 ; Klncald , 23 ; Bennett , 2 ; ab
sent , 1. v
The contest which ended loday by the
election of Mr. Simon has been carrldd on
for two years. The legislature which con
vened In January , "i > 7 , ' Kuh vo ch < xien
a successor to Jolin fl. Mitchell , whose term
expired In March , 1897 , but the lower house
was never organized and consequently the
session expired by limitation nd no vote
was taken for United States senator. Gov
ernor Lord appointed ex-Senator II. W. Cor-
bett to the vacancy , but the United States
senate refused to admit him. The legis
lature which was elected last Juno was over
whelmingly republican and Mr. Corbctt was
recognized as the leading candidate for sen
ator. Governor Lord called an extra scpslon
of the legislature , which assembled Septem
ber 26. Oorbott received the caucus nomina
tion for senator by a majority of the mem
bers , but lacked ten votes of a majority of
the legtslaure.
After voting four days for Mr. Corbett ,
his friends became convinced that he would
not bo elected. A caucus of all republicans
was called last night , at which a letter of
withdrawal -v\as read from Mr. Corbett. A
ballot was taken for senator and Mr. Simon
received 101 votes , or five less than a major
ity of the legislature. When the Joint as
sembly met today he received the full re
publican vote. Mr. Simon Is a Hebrew and
was born In Germany In 1851. He came to
Now York with his parents when only a
year old and five years later came to Part-
land , Ore. His education was received In
the public schools of Portland and In 1872
ho was admitted to the bar , having read
law In the office of Mitchell and Dolph , both
of whom served many years In the United
States senate. Since the financial question
has become a leading l auo Mr. Simon had
been an advocate of the gold standard.

UlxciiKNCN tlic .Money Question anil tlic
neinilillcan roller.
EMMETSBUUG , la. , Oct. 8. Senator Alli
son's speech today opening the campaign
was a general discussion of the policy of
the administration nnd the republican party ,
but more particularly a discussion of the
money question. He presented nn argument
tending to show that In order to establish
two metals as the standard money of any
country It was absolutely essential that there
1 shall bo established an equivalence of value
between the value In bullion of each and
that under existing conditions , with the wide
variations In the value ot silver and with
Its great depreciation as compared with
gold. It Is dlfllcult to establish such relation
at any ratio because of the wide fluctuations
ot silver , It It can be done at all under
existing conditions.
Concluding , h said : "I have also shown
that It is impossible to restore the condi
tions of 1873 and to attempt to do so would
result In Immeasurable loss and Injury. I
have shown that Instead of there being
a diminution of the world's volume of money
and a constant appreciation ot gold , that the
reverse Is true as respects the last twenty-
five jcars ; that there Is more money In
circulation now than then , and largely more ,
whether we take the aggregate volume of
such circulation or take Its volume as meas
ured per capita. I have shown that prices
should be Increasing rather than diminish
ing If the total volume of money controls
prices. I have shown that the effect of tht
proposed legislation would bo to bring us
to a sliver standard and Instead ot Increas
ing the volume ot money would greatly di
minish It. I have shown also that between
1S73 and 1897 we have progressed more rapIdly -
Idly than any other nation and that from
these considerations there is no possible
excuse for the proposed change from the
gold to the silver standard and the talk
of bimetallism under the proposed system
Is a mere sham and pretense. "

LONDON , Oct. 8. ( Now York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) Thomas
Firth Woodward of Chcsham , County of
Bucks , was arrested yesterday on n charge
of desecrating William Pcnn's grnvo at
Jordaus , In the same county. Woodward Is
said to have a delusion that his money was
burled in Penn's grave. Ho went
about his work methodically , care
fully removing two feet of earth
from ttho grave , when , da > llght coming
on , ho decamped. The Idea was at first
mooted fhat his design was to steal the re
mains for conveyance to Philadelphia nnd
was treated by the police as absuid.
There are many legends current at Jor-
dans as to bribes being offered the grave
yard caretakers by alleged American syndi
cates to connive at the robbery of Penn s
remains. It Is true that some years ago the
trustees of the graveyard were offered a
largo sum of mone > If they would pcrnill
the Quaker meeting house nnd the bodies of
Penn and his family to be removed to Phil
adelphia. This they refused to do. Permission
the homo secretary
sion was then sought from
tary to remove Penn's remains , but he Jc-
cllned to acccdo In the face of directions.
The trustees are certain this desecration
would never have happened had Penn's
body reposed In Philadelphia.

might not be followed for gain , ho answerei
me that such n thing would be Impossible

SAN JUAN , Oct. 8. The American force
occupied the towns of Carolina nnd Con
avanos on October C , and Caguns was taken
possebMon of by them the following day
It Is said that by October 10 San Juan d
Porto HIco , Illo Plcdras and Bamo will b
the only places remaining In possession o
the Spaniards , but no Information Is ob
talnablo regarding the arrival of the neccs
sary transports to remove the remaining
3,500 persons , troops nnd effects , and thel
families , which are to bo sent to Spain
The Spanish possession of one-tenth of th
Island , Including the capital which can b
Indefinitely prolonged by Spain's failure t
furnish transports manifestly causes muc'
Inconvenience to the Americans , who oc
cupy the other nine-tenths , as San Juan 1
of great value as a main point of dlstrlbu
tlon.
If the Spanish do not take effectlvo step
to remove the garribon now remaining th
formal delivery of the Itland to the Amerl
cans and the raising of the stars and stripe
over San Juan will bo Indefinitely post
poned , these cercmonlis being depcndeu
upon tne Spanish evacuation.
It Is believed that the American commls
sloncrs are making a strong effort to bring
about the completion of the transfer o
the Island to tha United States , apprehend
Ing that acts of violence may be committed
by the Islanders If It does not take plac
soon. There are rumors of destruction o

PARIS. Oct. 8. ( New York World Cable-
Kram Special Telegram. ) Secretary OJedn
of the Spanish pcaco commissioners said thU
afternoon : "The proposals and replies of
both countries have hitherto been carried
ou with perfect smoothness nnd the Ameri
can proposals so far contained nothing that
surprised us or gave the least protest for n
misunderstanding , but that Is natural , as
they have not gone an Inch outsldo the terms
of the protocol. Spain has accepted , as sue
could not help It , all proposals from the
American side BO far , but the commission Is
Btlll discussing terms. No question or prin
ciple with regard to the Philippines has
vet been received by us. "
I'AUIS , Oct. S. The United States pcaeo
commissioners began their usual three hours'
session at 10 o'clock this morning. They
arc understood to lin\o taken Into considera
tion direct ! suggestions nnd counter proposi
tions from the Spaniards , of which the
Americans now have enough to engage their
atttontlon at the dally session. It may bo
regarded ns quite likely that the Spaniards
have already outlined their apparent ) ex
pectations and that they arc beyond th
line of possible ncqulesenco by the Ameri
cans. The latter are now acting along well
considered lines , consistently and with n
definite end In view. They have to eomo
degree disclosed American expectation and
determination. Tha Spaniards , however ,
seem unable or unwilling at the outset to
understand or believe luo Americans may or
have at the outset sot forth their require
ments and that they aru destined Uo remain
virtually unchanged by finesse or counter-
diplomacy. Therefore It Is not ) unlikely that
the Americans , following the course of fair ,
thorough consideration of all the original
counter propositions , will to the limit of
fruitful possibility accord patient considera
tion of Ideas projected by the Spaniards.
Thus It Is fair to conclude that the Ameri
cans' dally sessions during the recets Inter
vals will bo fully engrossed. j
While the Philippines liuvo not yet ) been
reached In the deliberations , this question Is
doubtless relatively not far distant , and at
that point Is likely to come the full stress of
the diplomatic controversy.
Rcferilng to the Philippine phase of the
negotiations , the Gaulols today says
"Tho question was somewhat touched upon ,
though not discussed yesterday , but thcio
was enough to indicate serious difficulties
when 1C does come up. "
