The bright Bklcs that remained so loyal all
through Jubllno week were overcast again
yesterday and the Immense crowds of the
preceding days gave place to a few thousand
enthusiastic sightseers whom the discom
forts of the day could not daunt. It was
surprising that thire were so many of them.
Kven In the morning when the steadily
drizzling rain was swept by a north wind that
fairly penetrated through and through the
human anatomy the grounds were far from
being deserted. When 1,100 people came nut
before 1 o'clock on such a day as ycster'ay
and paid CO cents to get In , when by walling
until afternoon they could have gone through
the gates for half price , It Is a pretty perti
nent Indication that the people consider the
show worth coming to see. About that num
ber must have done that very thing for the
receipts at the gates at 1 o'clock wcr $600.
Later In the day when the clouds c'atcd to
drlz7le , the arrivals Increased and by the
middle ot the a/ternoon theie worn tuough
people on the grounds to surprise the otn-
clals who had scaccly exiectel IT pay ex
penses In the face of such condition * The
show wan not at Its prettiest. The buildings
reflected the dull leaden tints ot the clou Is
and the cold wind had fre-i nwiep across
the wide promenades and controlled the
crowd to move lively to Keep warm , llvrn
the still gorgeous coloring of tht foliage anil
llowern seemed a trifle out of place In Inn
chill atmosphere and the ( limp raw brcczca
made visions cf a warm llrr and nn e.isv
chair moro fascinating than the frigid pan
orama out of doors.
Crowd IlnJojH the. Show.
But If these exterior Inconveniences were
BUlllclcut to minimize the enjoyment o
these who have become familiar with thi
beauties of the grounds , they seemed t (
ITave no effect on the bulk of the crowd
This represented visitors who had come U
admire the great enterprise of which the )
liiul heard so much from their neighbor !
who had como and gone bcfoic them ani
they found It sufficiently Interesting t (
compensate them for minor discomforts Thi
cold liibplred a gregarious tendency and thi
people promrnadeil over the grounds In par
tics of twenty and fifty Instead of breaKlni
up Into small parties , as usual , and , al
though the task of keeping warm seemei
to Involve more noise and confusion thai
Is usually noticed on the grounds on thi
llrst day of the week , It kept the pcopl
good-natuird and they seemed to be havini
as much fun out of their visit as though tli
skies were clear. The evening crowd wa
not gratifying. Very few people came ou
after 3 o'clock and many of the earlier ar
rivals went homo after a. glimpse at th
Illuminations.
The concerts by Innes and his band wen
the only features anil even In the Audlto
Hum the atmosphere was too raw to mak <
sitting through a long program espcclall ;
unjojablo. But the crowd supplied In en
thuslaaiu what lit lacked In proportions am
it took advantage of the cud of every num
bcr to applaud with sumclcnt vigor t
quicken Its circulation. The sacred con
cert In tbo afternoon Included a numbe
of selections that are comparatively now t
the average auditor and the so were rcn
dorcd with the same magnificent spirit tha
characterizes nearly all the work of Mi
I nuts' musicians. The opening number wa
OtondcUsohn's overture , "Huy Bias , " an
this was so vigorously appreciated that I
required two encores to satisfy the crowd
The Intermezzo from "Cavallorla Rustlcana
won its customary ovation and the rondl
tlon of the symphonic paean , "Lcs Preludes ,
by Liszt , was another feature of notuhl
Interest. Schubert's overture , ' 'Roaamumle , '
Schumann's "Dreams , " with organ obllgat
by Mr , Kelly , and the final military inarc
by Tschalkowsky were among the remain
Ing selections that were heard with pronounced
nouncod favor.

As only fifteen days of the exposition re
main there Is already a good deal of flgur
Ing on the piospectivo llnanclal status o
the enterprise when the gates are closed
With fairly good weather during the re
malnder of the month a very satlsfactor
show Ing Is assured. As nearly as can be es
ttmated at this tlmo the net balance thn
will stand In favor of the exposition wll
bo about $140,000 plus the receipt's from noi
to the end of October. The bank bal
nncc , with cash In the hands of the uecre
tary , now aggregates almost exactly $ , (00 ( ,
000. The Indications BO far are tlniU th
estimate of $100,000 for the cost of operatlo
during October will not bo far out of th
way. To this must be added bills aggre
gating about' $5,000 still outstanding on ac
count of the stock show , premiums amount
Ing to $35,000 and contract balances amounl
Ing to $21CS5. This rauKcs a prospecttv
expenditure to the end of rhe show of $160 ,
000. Two weekly payrolls In October , whlc
aggregate $1,000 , have been paid and a
equal amount 1ms been paid to Innes1 bam
These amounts uro depended on to olTbt
any additional expenditures that may urls
and ID Is regarded as a conservative state
incnt that the exposition now has $ HOOC
In sight after nil bills are paid to Noveni
ber 1. Figuring on this basis , every dollo
that Is taken In from now to the end mil
properly be added uo this balance.

The exhibitors In the Horticultural bulld-
ng are prepared to make a great show this
eek. All day yesterday they put In their
me getting their exhibits ready for the in-
pcctlon of the public and last night they
md everything In the best of shape. Dur-
ng the day Superintendent Youngers' men
lied the tables high with the best of Xe-
iraska's fruit and put the exhibit In as good
liapc as tt has been at any time since the
pcntng of the exposition They tilled the
isers on the north Hide of the room witli
pples , most of which are those of the crop
f 1S97. These are as sound and perfect arf
lough they had been picked but last week.
On the tables In front pea < hes , pears , plums ,
prlcots and umnirous other varieties of
rults have been placid.
Nebraska will have Its apple day next
Vedncsday and the work done yesterday was
ircllmlnary to this big show , when from
00 to 300 barrels of apples will be given
way. The occasion Is Nebraska day. The
pples will bu piled upon the tables and a <
he visitors pass down the aisle from the
vest entrance of the building the fruit will
ic passed out to them.
The Dougliis county exhibit will be made
no of the features of the Horticultural bulld-
ng the balance of the exposition. Supcrln-
endcnt Walker has tocuied a very large
uantlty of grapes , plums , peaches and
pples and will show all of this fruit to the
est possible advantage.
Saturday Superintendent Drlscoll of the
daho exhibit received a futl carload of fruit
rom the state fair recently held In his home
tale. A largo portion of this has gone upon
ho tables and the balance will be held In
eservo for the closing days of the exposl-
lon. With this shipment he says that dur-
ng the next two weeks ho will be enabled
o uut up the best exhibit that has ever been
made bv the state. The shipment which ho
ccclved Includes large quantities of every
variety of fruit grown In the state.
Superintendent Courtney of Oregon Is In
ecelpt of another large shipment of apples ,
pears , peaches , prunes , plums and canned
joods The shipment Is BO largo that be has
> een compelled to put In extra tables In or-
ler to properly show thn fruit. Much of the
rult comes from the river vallejs of the
state and In size , color and quality It beats
anything that IIP lias heretofore shown. This
s especially true of thi pears and peaches ,
vhlch arc ot mammoth proportions.
Illinois' exhibit of fruit has received s
great number of additions during the last
\eck thus tnablliiK Superintendent Stanton
o keep up the excellence that has character
ed the dlsnlay since It was Installed. Ap-
leB. pears and nrapps are his strong cards
at thn present time. The apples are largely
of thn late fall and winter varieties and are
shown In great profusion. The pears are
argely of the Klcfer variety and have been
shipped In barrel lots , n large portion ot
hem coming from Mr. Stanton's own
orchard.
Missouri continues to show Its red apples
n great abundance , having two tables com-
nletelv covered with this fruit. There Is
also a large assortment of grapes and pears ,
while other varieties of apples make a great
show Inc.
Kansas , which In the early part of thu
spasou did not do ns much as some of the
other states. Is making up for Test time by
putting up an exhibit that Is the envy ole
o of the other localities. The apples arc
the great feature and Bomo sov enty varieties
arc helm ; displayed.
The Iowa exhibit is one of the best In the
building. Superintendent Murphy Is re
ceiving many compliments upon the arrange
ment and care of the display.

Things In and about the Indian encamp
ment were not BO snappy yesterday as they
were last July , when the mercuiy was belns
nushed uo toward tbo century point. The
old rain that set In Saturday night and con
tinued during tbo morning kept the Indians
Inside of their teprcs and gave the visitor ;
an excellent opportunity of observing the
customs of the American Indian at home ,
The meals weic cooked Inside the tepee J In
stead of outside and were eaten around the
little fires that blu/cd on the ground In tbc
renter of the little tents ,
The flaps ot the tents were drawn dowr
and visitors who entered the habitations
were blinded by the umoko unless they
squatted around the wall as did the Indians
During the day Captain Mercer made 'he In
dians happy by Issuing warm clothing. The
women were given warm woolen stocU'n ' s
and underclothing , while to the men , In ad

handed out. Additional blankets were Is

LONDON , Oct. 16. The Atlantic Transport -
port company Issued the following state
ment this cvenlnK regarding the fate of the
passengers and crew of the Mohegan , which
was wrecked last Friday evening off the
Llrirri , between the Manacles and the low
lands :
"Of the passengers , eleven have hcen
saved , ten bodies have been recovered and
thirty-three are missing.
"Of the crew and cattlemen , thlrty-nlno
have been saved , fourteen bodies have been
recovered and fifty-one are missing "
Since this statement was Issued thirteen
other bodies were picked up , Including two
that have been Identified as those of passen
gers.

The reports of the various correspondents
differ widely as to the rescues , recoveries
and losses , though none have been able to
obtain the exact number of those saved
or of the bodies iccovored.
The bodks of the following passengers
lave been recovered :

Up to midnight flfty-ono bodies were re
covered. Some were five miles away In
coves and It Is expected more will bo washed
theretomorrow. . Many persons 'were un
doubtedly killed by being dashed on the
rocks who would have been saved If hurled
on nn ordinary shore. A great deal of Jew
elry and money has been found.
One appears to bo a German woman. She
wore n watch and wedding ring , both en
graved " 1871. " The other woman were a
silver brooch , wll'h the letter ' 'D" In pearls.
This Is probably the body of Mrs. Charles
Dunson. Nine of the bodies have been

The cause of the disaster remains the
profoundest mystery Nobody attempts tc
explain how the Mohegan got so far north
of Its true course , from six to seven miles.
There was no fog at the time , while tht
wind on Us port quarter was not sufflclenl
LO | jiu\etii the vtbud answering the helm ,
It has been suggestied lh.it the compass
was faulty , but daylight lasted long afto :
Cddystone light was passed.
The sallora say the fact that the LlzarO
llcht wet , not visible should have served to
elvo the alarm. The masts of the Mohegau ,
which are above water , show that Us stern
li landward , accounting for the theory thai
the navigating officer on discovering thai
ho was In the ba > suddenly turned seaward
Two cngtnccis who were saved declUrc , how
ever , that they never slackened speed.
Remarkable stories of rescue continue
Robert Barrow , a seaman , performed the fcal
of swimming unaided through the roughesi
water to Cove Rack Point , a distance of tw <
and one-half miles. Ho climbed up UK
rugged cliff , whcro a eearchlng party fount
him early the next morning completely ex
hausted.
A. C. L. Smith of Oregon , a passenger
surrendered his place to a woman In tht
water wreckage that was supporting him am
swam ashore unaided. The woman WAI
saved. Her name Is reported as Miss Webb
but no such name appears In the company'i
Hat. W. W. Smith and J. Bloomlngdalo sa ;
there was the greatest difficulty in launch
Ing the boats. The ropes were new am
stiff and the blocks would not work. F&ui
or five times as many sailors as should havi
been necessary struggled to lower each boat
The lockers were hard to open. The crew
In a chivalrous effort to save the women
made the mistake of undermannlng tin
boats. There were only four sailors In on4
boat , ( which capsized as econ as It wa' '
launched. Messrs. Smith and Bloomlngdali
say that Captain Griffiths had appeared II
all day.

and of bis family , Including Mrs. King , he
mother , Mrs. Wolker , and his sons , Rufus

has caused deep sorrow at Penzance , wher
the family had'a ' summer cottage and wcr
very popular.

Rushing to the saloon , lie heard Mr. Kin

with seven others , clung to the rigging untl
6 o'clock yesterday morning , when a life
boat took him off. Ho Identified the bodle
of tUo KlniM and Mrs. Wolker and ha
them embalmed.
The description In the London dlspatcl
of Mr. T. W. Kins as a newspaper pro
prletor at-Nantucket , Mass. , Is probably or
roneous. Inquiry shows that the propri
ctors of the local papers In Nantucket oni
Its vicinity bear other names. In Bostoi
newspaper circles Mr. King's name Is un
familiar Probably ho was a wealthy Bum
incr resident of Nantucket.

eral , Perez , for not disbanding his troops.
Ho claims that the Americans have no
right to establish a coaling station with
out the permission of the Cuban govern

go to work elsewhere. Now he makes sev

tics concerned belong to prominent families
In this city , Mr. Stccle's father having been
the senior partner of the Steele-Smlth Gro
cery company and his wlfo being connected
with the family of the late Colonel Butler ,
formerly posted at Fort Omaha. Stecle Is
held at the police station pending further In
vestigation , though It Is not charged that he
Is connected with the shooting.
Steele was married to his wife , who was
formerly Miss Hattle Mnlone , In this city
eight jears ago. He was at that time cm-
plojed In the grocery house with which his
father was connected and later was given a
partial Interest In the concern. Miss Malone
gave up the lodging house which she had
been conducting on Harney street In part
nership with her sister Helen and the jounq
couple started life happ ly In a uc'l furnlsLcd
home. During the business depression a
short time afterward the Steele-Smlth Gro
cery company , considered one of the stal
wart business houses In the city , was forced
to the wall and the family was financially
ruined.

The senior partner was thoroughly dis
heartened by the occurrence and his death
and that of his wife followed not long after
ward. Sto-ele was thrown out of employ
ment and has only worked at Intervals since ,
when he has worked as agent for different
specialties. Last January , following a long
purled of Idleness , Mrs. Steele went to Mon
tana with her two children and paid a long
visit to her sister , Mrs. Charles Hutler , at
the military post of Fort Keogh. Steele was
still unemployed on her return In March , and
vvKther from dissatisfaction with his pre-
iume lack of energy or from general dle-
coura jement , she did not notify him of her
ar'lval and ho did not know of hir presence
'aero for some time. He heard of her at various
locations where she had undertaken to op
erate a boarding house with Indifferent suc
cess and finally received a message from Mrs.
Steele that she was In charge of a house at
1010 Davenport street.
Steelo's Interest In his wlfo and chlldrer
had not diminished and he called at once
Mrs. Steele received him rather coolly , bui
allowed him to see the children , the oldcsi
of whom , Dudley , was C years old , his
brother being 2 years old. Steele had ob
tained a position as salesman for thi
Standard Manufacturing company , Grcei
Bay , Mich. , and was able to make contrlbu-
lions for the children's welfare , though Mrs
Strclo seemed to bo getting along ver :
nicely with her boarders. She was able t <
keep her oldest son In the St. James or
phanage , near Benson , In order that shi
might give raoro time to her househoU
duties. Several times Steele called at tin
house to obtain dainties ot different sorts ti
add to his own purchases of fruit and cand ;
previous to calling at the orphanage. Mrs
Steele treated him In a friendly way amen
on several occasions broke down and crlci
bitterly , holding her husband In her arm
In a hvsterical way. She was of a nervou
temperament and not at all robust and li
July her undertaking proved beyond he
strength and she became 111 with typholi
fever. She spent several weeks at tin
Clarkson Memorial hospital and finally full ;
recovered. During her Illness her husbani
visited her on sevctal occasions In compan ;
with her oldest child. As she grew stronger
however , Mrs. Steele did not welcome hi
calls and gave Instructions that ho suoul
not bo admitted He brought the child t
see her several times afterward , however
and called for It again a few hours after
ward.

house and has Been her husband on severa
occasions. Sbo has treated him In a frlendl ;
way and several times has Bhowjn , that shi
Btlll cared for him. In the house was i
chest of old books , a portrait of Stteclu'i
father and several relics which belonged t <
the Steele family. A few weeks ago Steeli
asked that he might be given these articles
as n separation seemed Inevitable and thi
property had belonged to his dead parents
Mrs. Steele seemed reluctant to sever thi
last tie , but finally said that Sfeelo wouli
bo given hU share upon the arrival of Mrs
Steelo's sister , who would make a dlvlsloi
whether flho herself were there or not.
Steele Inquired whether she meant Vo leave
the city , but his wife did not reply

CHICAGO , Oct. 16. The National peace-
jubilee of Chicago was tonight Inaugurated
with a union thanksgiving service at the
Auditorium. President McKlnley attended
and listened to addrcssis by a Jewish rabbi ,
a Roman Catholic priest , a Presbj terlan ,
clergjman and a noted colored orator. The
applause for the president was terrific and
at one time ho was compelled to Hsu In his
box and respond to the frantic cheering. The
services , however , were of a religious char
acter and the solemn silence of the vast au
dience was much more eloquent than tho-
violent applause.
The president rested during a greater part
of the day at the residence of Captain Laf
ayette McWllllams , his relative , where ho
Is being entertained. Ho did not attend
church In the morning. For a short time la
the afternoon he was taken for a drive la
company with Mrs. McKlnley , Captain Mc-
Wllliams and Mrs. MnWilllams. The party
was driven to the Audlloilum at 8 o'clock
and all along the way people lined tho-
streets to xvntch the passing of the pres
ident's carriage Easily 12,000 people were *
within the great Auditorium and probably
as many moio on , the outside unable to ob
tain admittance. The president was seated
In a box on the reft sldo of the Auditorium
and with him were Alexander H. Km ell ,
President William Harper of the University :
of Chicago , Captain McWllllams and Secre
taries Porter and Corteljou. Among the oc
cupants of the other boxes were James Mc
Klnley , the president's nephew ; Secretary
Wilson and Miss Wilson , Secretary and Mrs.
Gage , Secretary Bliss , Assistant Secretary
MelKlojohn and Postmaster Jordan.
Elaborate music had been prepared for
the meeting under the direction of Henry
B Rouoy. Rev. Dr. Henry W Thomas , pas
tor of the People's church , was chairman ,
of the meeting. Bishop Samuel T.illnws lol

The first address was by Rabbi Emll Q
HIrsch , who brought oat a great burst of en-
thiifilasm by a refcienco to Piesldtut Me *
Klnlcy. Dr. HIrsch said :
"Wo are proud that when war was Im
minent the affairs of the nation wore In the *
hands of a man " ( hero Dr. Hlrsch's volco
was drowned by a great wave of applause ) .
When ho could be beard the speaker finished
his sentence "a true American , one that
loved peace , a worshiper of the Prince of
Peace. "
Loud cheers followed Dr. Hlrsch's state
ment of his sentiments In reference to terri
torial acquisition when ho said :
"Constitutionalism In the scheme of colonial
nial dependence must bo t'hu watchword of
the war In regard to the countries delivered
from the Spanish rule. "
Rev. Dr. Thomas P Hodnett , a Cathollo
clergjman , caught the fancy and applause of
the audience by repeated references to
Devvey , Sampson , Schley and the Rough
Rldeis , and when he mentioned President
McKlnley by name the people became BO
demons ! ) ntlvo the president was compelled to
rlso In his box and bow his acknowledg
ments. At the conclusion of bin address Dr.
Hodnett aroused much enthusiasm by a
philippic against the "Growing Influence ot
Monopoly and the Cohesive Power of Unjust
Corporations. "
One of the most stirring speeches of t'ho
evening was made by Rev. Dr. John Homy
narrows , who took a firm stand In favor of
the retention of the Philippines , which senti
ment appeared to meet entirely t'ho approval
of the audience.
Bool.er T. Washington , the well known
colored orator , was last. He said , In parti
