The principal feature of the exposition yes
terday was the special meeting of the Btard
of Directors , at which It was voted to close
the show promptly on November 1 and to
proceed nt once to wind up the atfalrs of
the corporation and dispose of its property.
It was alee decided to reduce the admission
tin Omaha day to 25 cents In order that the
entire population of the city may participate
in giving the big enterprise a fitting cul
mination.
The attendance was better than that of
yesterday and even approached the proportions
tions of u fairly good day. This was In
Bplto of Jhe fact that to the a\eriip visitor
the conditions vere scarcely better than
Ihose which prevailed the day before. While
] \ls eyes were not bllndcS and his raiment
bedraggled with the continuous bombard
ment of half melted snow , the wind wan
even more cold and raw and uuder foot
the grounds were an unbroken expanse of
slush and puddles , liloiit of the snow-
lias disappeared , but the moisture left
remains and except on the brick pavements
it Is Impossible to walk : < bout the grounds
with any degree of comfort. The shrubbery
end flowers show the effects of the freeze.
Most of the blossoms are rusted und with
ered and the luxurious growth : f clinging
Vines that constituted ono of th ? most strik
ing beauties of the landscapes lias lost half
Its beauty.
Although comparatively few of the visit
ors who arc directly interested In the cele-
liratlons of the day cams out during the
forenoon the attendance kept up ut a phe
iiomennl rate for such a dny. Nothing
could daunt people who hnd been sufllelcntly
patriotic to come out thrnui ( ; ! the bllzi.trd
i > f the day before and Ihty kept passing
the turnstiles with fair regularity
the forenoon. It was of necessity a slght-
tcclng crowd and the buildings wore well
Jilled , while the soggy ntrcets anil the Mid
way were comparatively ilcacrteil.

emerge from the buildings und Iho
regained their normal activity , Kven the
JJ Id way showed evidence of resuscitation
und the familiar wall of the Oriental 'n-
Btruments Indicated that It was again ready
fcr business. Tlie cclpIiiMttons of the day
wcro pulled off before big crowds , In splto
of the atmospherical unpleasantness , and
the show went -on as merrily as though
nature had not conspired against It.
Today Is Nebraska d-iy and It has been
decided to celebrate It Irrcdpccilvo of Ibe
weather. Some of the Nebraska commis
sioners wanted to postpone it , but the ex-
vosltlon management dccUi',1 tint It w.is too
Ute to glvo any notice of n chance und that

Battings were not altogether satisfactory.

Auditorium Kllli'il for ( lie *
IU Hiltc | the Itaillly DlxfOi-ifort. .
The exercises with which the presence of [
the members of the Ancient Order of United 1
Workmen was celebrated drew a good sized 1
rrowil in the Auditorium at 1:30 o'clock : ,
mid though the atmosphere Inside the buildIng -
Ing was even more damp and uncomfortable
than that which prevailed outside , the people
ple sat aud shivered through the program
with commendable patience. Grand Master
Workman SchulU presided and after a selection -
lection by the Scuth Omnha band the invocation -
cation was offered by Ilev. C. N. Dawson
of South Omaha.
The address of welcome was delivered
by Mayor Moores , who declared that nothing
could bo moio complimentary to the order
than the big crowd that had assembled to
listen to these exercises In the face of BO
much discomfort. He added that It gave
him great pleasure to welcome to Omaha
an organization that stands so high In the
esteem of the people. This is nn age of ,
.
civilization , brotherhood and charily. Old (
Ideas have been revolutionized by the genius
of thla ccntur ) . But the glory of the
Nineteenth century does not He so much
In Its wealth and magnificence as In the
pplrlt of charity aud fraternity to which If
lias given birth , 1C Is not strange that thlt
order has found so much favor wltb the
people , for its purposes rellcct the senti
ment of the ago. Ii conclusion Mayor
Moores presented the visitors with the
golden keys of the city.
In response , flrand iMastor Workman
Pchultz said that In behalf of the 24,000
Workmen of Nebraska , the 355,000 In the
United States and the 10,000 members of the
Degree of Honor In Nebraska , he declared ' '
their full appreciation of the hearty welcome
they had received.
This was followed by another selection by
( ho band and Grand Master Tllton of Iowa
was Introduced to speak In place of the'
flip re mo master workman , who was unable'
to bo present. The speaker complimented
the Nebraska Workmen on the magnificent
progress of the order In this state. The
question of today Is not how one man can
control the destinies of the nation , but how
wo can best assist each other to enjoy llfoj [
and to reap all the advantages of our civ
ilization. In no way can this object be
more effectually promoted than through the
development of the fraternal orders , of
which this Is fue chief.
Woril for < lu AVoiarn.
Mrs. Delia Harding , grand chief of honor ,
ppoko briefly In behalf of the femlnlno aux
iliary of .the order. She tmloxlted the or
ganization by which tha laboring man was
enabled to make provision for his wife and
family when he was nn longer able to pro
tect them. No ono can measure the good
that has been done by this noble organiza
tion In the last thirty years. It stands sub
limely holding the banner of protection over
the helpless heads of thousands of women
ind rhllilrcn , and blruli the people In the
bond of fra.ernlly and lovo.
Deputy Grand Master O lgrr of Iowa was
sandwiched In at this point and succeeded
tq one of his characteristic speeches In dif
fusing some dcgiee of warmth In the shlver-
! nc crowd , In connection with bU humor *
ous allusions , he eulogized the spirit end
motive of the Wornmcn's organization and
tendered an eloquent greeting of the Work
men of Iowa to tholr Nebraska brethren.
The final address was delivered by Rev.
J. G. Tate , past supreme master workman ,
who received an enthusiastic welcome. Ills
remarks were abbreviated In deference to
the chilly discomfort of his nudlence. He
spoke of all the glory that has been won by
this government In relieving the starving
people of Cuba nnd declared that more Is
due to this organization that for thirty
yeara has prevented poverty and suffering
without shedding a single drop of blood. It
Is the oldest and largest and best , he said ,
of all fraternal organizations' ' . Every city
and every land can afford to welcome It , for
It prevents poverty and the crime that Is
ltd result.
Drilling for I'rlxer. .
On the conclusion of the exercises In the
Auditorium the Workmen congregated on the
Plaza in front of the Government building
to witness the contest between the drill
teams of the order. Some twenty teams
were entered , but only about half of them
participated In the' drill. The Judges for the
occasion were Wooatcr of Hastings , Birk of
Grand Island and Pierce of Crelghton. The
dilll was according to the rules laid down in
the manual and the prizes were $20 , $15 ,
? 10 and $3. The first prize was won by

the Auditorium Come tiff.
The Inclemency of the weather yester
day Interfered with the success of the Ger
man day exercises at the exposition. The
parade to and through the grounds was de
clared oft and during the forenoon the Ger
man-American visitors contented themselves
by Inspecting the buildings nnd examining
ho exhibits. Al 3 o'clock they gathered In
ho Auditorium , where the regular program
va < s carried out. Innes' band rendered a
selection after which Chairman Andres In
troduced Mayor Moores , who delivered the
address of welcome and complimented the
German-Americans upon their Industry und
loyalty.
There were u couple of selections by the
Orpheua Singing society after which William
Rapp , editor of the Illinois Staatz fceltung ,
was Introduced as the orator of the day.
Mr. Rapp said In part :
Last month I celebrated German day with
the Germans of Cincinnati , which In com
parison with the oldest German settlements
of the east Is still so young , and now I have
the honor to celebrate n similar German day
with the Germans of Omaha , that In com
parison with Cincinnati Is also young.
German industry , German Inalfht nnd I
fidelity have everywhere In this mighty ,
rising republic unfolded their blessings from
the flrst German settlement In Delaware to
the Missouri , and further west. Without
exaggeration or vanity we may say this busy
young metropolis of Omnho. with its
wonderful White City , wnlch so worthily
follows that of Chicago.of flvo years ape ,
would not bo possible or even Imaginable
without the work of the Germans Without
thi < Gorman lavu of freedom , without the i
German agriculture and Industry Nebraska i
and the other western etatcs could not pos
sibly hnvo grown strong so quickly. Ne

ccurngo nnd German bravery and German-
American patriotism contributed no much to
the preservation of the union nnd thn future
of freedom. Out of tills successful but fear

braska. All hall. Nebraska ! for It has nlno
protected freedom In another form. While
Iti4 neighbors , Iowa and Kinuus. in spite of
the vigorous opposition of the Germans , were
burdened with the yoke of prohibition" ,
thanks to the efforts made by the- great
j English paper of Mr. Rosowater's for pcr- .
, soual liberty , this yoke was avoided , snowed
' under by the ballots of intelligent Nebraska

mouely ranged.
\ew Katherlund and the Old.
| The first love nnd loyalty of the Gcrmau-
i Americans and their descendants belong1 ?
j > completely to the new American fatherland.
i But they would be bad Americans If they
did not at the same time treasure In their
Inmost hearts faithfulness nnd love far their
old German fatherland. What good Gorman
In America will not on this 18th day of Octo-
her think with pride and feeling of the Ger-
man fatherland ? Today five nnd eighty
years ago was decided the battle of Lelpi'lc.
After three days' fearful contest the Cor-
slcnn upstart , who had reduced the Germans
to chains , and sought even to enslave the
, German spirit , was compelled to retreat. To
j | be suro. the Gorman people were betrayed
i out of the fruits of that great victory by the
I wiles of diplomacy , but since twenty-seven
years ago thta betrayal has been made good
by the equally great victory which the Germans -
mans won In their own power from the
same enemy. Behind the conqueror Moltke
there lurked no Metternlch like the one bo-
hind the victorious Blucher. but beside Ihe
great General Moltko stood Bismarck , the
greatest of diplomats nnd statesmen , guiding
the welfare of Germany nnd utilizing the
victory to Us fullest extent ,
In no way will we German-Americans de-
vlato from the strict path of duty. Let
everyone , whether it be In the material or
spiritual field , do the best which he
can for his American home. Ger-
man music , German song and German -
man physical training can beautify and
strengthen American life In all directions. In
church and school also let the Germans
maintain their force. Let the German who
exchanged with sorrow yet with courage his
old home for the new attach himself with
every fiber to the country here , rely upon It
while he performs his duty nnd maintain
his rights. He Is no usurping adventurer.
but labors faithfully upon a land to make it
'
"a homo of the free and brave. "

In behalf of the exposition management ,
1 E. Rosewater supplemented the address of
'
Mayor Moores and extended n cordial wel-
I come to the Germans. Ho said that they
I ' have done more toward building up the ex-
I position und making It a success than any
'
le'other class of citizens of the state. This
not only applies to the exposition bui ( . >
, the west an well. Before the white man trod
the soil of the state. Germans settled at Si.
Louis and since then have been doing all
In their power toward the advancement of
ojthls section of country. Mr. Rosewatcr re
lated that forty years ago when he flrst
landed In St. Louis ho found comfort and
shelter beneath the roof of a German. When
the war of the rebellion broke out the Ger
mans of tbo state rallied around the stand
ard of liberty and stood by It to the last.
In the cemeteries of the south the heail-
fctones mark thousands of graves occupied
bv Germans who stood up for the union and
equal rights for all men. The best homes of ,
the country have been built up by men or
Teutonic origin ; they are a sturdy race of
people just and always ready to stand up
for liberty and juhtlce. There are no repu-
d la tors among them and when they Incur a
debt they pay It with honest money.
Referring to the great struggle of 1S90.

JACKSONVILLE , Fla. , Oct. 18. The war
Investigating commission held three sessions
today , dealing with the general staff officers
of the Seventh army corps and at night
hearing the 'testimony ' of officers and men
nt the Second South Carolina regiment. The
eencral officers examined included the chief
surgeon , the chief commissary , tuo , chief
Quartermaster . and thu inspector general of
the corps and nil gave detailed Information
as to their respective departments of the
service.
The subcommittee , consisting of General
Wilson and Captain How ell , appointed to
Investigate the selection of Fernandlua us a
camp , returned tonight and reported their
anproval of the selection. They made spe
cial Inquiry Into the report that the camp
had been located there for the purpose of
enhancing the value of land owned by u son
of Secretary Alger , going through the conn y
records as part of their work. They failed
In find his name 111 any of these documents

cinity or had been In any way Interested In

any.Colonel
Colonel Louis M. Mnus , chief surgeon of
the Seventh army corps , was the first wit
ness to be sworn. Ho said there was no
suffering i among the sick. Still they did not
have 1 the luxuries at the beginning of the war
that there were In the latter days of It.
"Nor. " added the doctor , "do I think that
the history of the world has oven seen a
parallel to our present care of the sick. "
.Supplier * la 1'leiity.
Taking up the present condition of the
hospitals , ho said there were 300 trained
female nurses now nt work here. He said
the employment of these uurses had proved
entirely satisfactory. Replying to a quea
tlon , Dr. Maus said that after the first
few days there had been no refusal of sup
plies and that all requisitions had been
filled , with exceptional promptitude. He bad
never seen such utter disregard of expense
In caring for sick soldiers. As a matter
of fact the troops had a greater allowance
of rations than they could use or dispose
of In any way. He also said the Red Cross
society had given so much that It was often
not necessary to ask the government for
supplies. There had been no restrictions In
the matter of fitting out the camps.
HP thought typhoid had been Introduced
Into camp by Mississippi and Virginia
troops. Shallow streams and surface drains
had helped on this scourge , but ho was con
fident that the regular water supply of the
city had not been In any way respnnolblu
for It. He also thought that the files had
done much to disseminate fever. From the
beginning strict attention had been given
the sinks. Ho had never in his life seen
BiKh attention given ln-
camp , but , despite this care , typhoid fever
broke out and had become the principal slck-
ness here.
Dr. Maus said he had found it difficult to
prevail upon surgeons In the volunteer serv
ice to learn tbo administrative duties of
tholr positions. As a matter of fact , these
duties were extremely onerous , and , for this
reason , the volunteer physicians were not
so efficient as they should have been. Often
also In the early history of the war some
of the volunteer regimental surgeons had
been found negligent in the matter of in1-
i spoctlon , but later on , sanitation became the
principal duty of everybody about the camp.
Much trouble had been experienced in keep
ing the public from the hospitals. In many
cases they had surreptitiously carried food
to the sick. Dr. Maus also dwelt upon the
newspaper reports of the suffering in the
camp , saying they had generally grown out
of exaggeiated statements from the men
themselves.
themselves.'I'n
'I'n In ted Meat.
Dr. Maus mentioned one instance In which
serious Illness had followed the use ol
tainted meat and ho had hoard of a few
other Instances In which poor meat had
been Issued. Still these cases were rare
nnd no more frequent than should be ex-
oected. Dr. Cqnner- questioned Maus aboui
the acceptance of outside aid and quotei
a report from Colonel Guild , inspector gen
eral , eaylng that but for the action of the
Hod Cross Eocletv the sick would have been
without essentlaJ supplies for two months.
"That statement , " said Dr. Maus , "la ut
terly false. The government would have
supplied them If the lied Cross had not. "
Dr. Maus also denied the truth of a
statement made by the governor of Iowa
that there was only one nurse In charge
of sixteen tvphold patients. It Is said , how
ever , that the nurses gent by the governoi
nf Iowa had been accepted not because the
covcrnr-ent was negligent , but because they
could be utilized.
Dr. Maus was questioned In regard ti
the camp at Miami. Ho said he had Inves
tlgatid It and found it to ho unsultabli
on account of the water , which analysis hni
shown to bo impure. Ho also though
Tampa unsulted for the needs of a larg
camp. Ho said , In response to a criticism
of u Jacksonville woman , that General Lee
had given the most careful attention to th
hospitals , that ho made visits to the sick
men nnd did much to cheer them.
Mrs. Gordon , wife of General W. W. Gor
don , In relation to the hospital nt Miami
sent a letter , In which she made scrlou
charges , among others one to the effect tha
the hospital nurse had become Intoxlcatei
and set fire to a patient's bed , burning hln
somewhat and another that files were oftei
found crawling into the mouths of the dyln
patients.
Dr. Maus had a report from Dr. Vllas , In
charge of the hospital , read , admitting th
statement.

Colonel Oliver K. Wood , chief commissary
at Camp Cuba Libre under General Lee , was
before the commission at Its afternoon uea
slon. He had occupied Vhls position elnco
May 21 and he had been able during all this
time to fully and completely meet all req
ulsltlons on him for supplies nnd there hiu

There had also been weevils In some of the

was brought to rhe cano in refrigerator

It was necessary cither to cook refriger

In view of the fact that at noon , with the
acquisition of the Island of Porto Rico by the
United States , about 800,000 Inhabitants of
that island lost their Spanish citizenship i ,
the question as to what shall become of these
people , politically , becomes of importance.
Madrid advices report that leading citizens
In Porto Rico have already taken steps to
I
become naturalized as United States citi
zens. This Is an error , for existing laws
provide no way In which this change of
citizenship can be effected by the residents
of the Island.
There Is no United States court there before -
fore which a declaration of intention can
be filed and In fact no machinery at all '
which can be put In motion to change cit
izenship.
Inquiry into this subject at the State de-
pal tment discloses th fact that It has bsen
usual to provide for a bodily transfer of the
citizenship of people conditioned as those
in Porto Rico In the treaty of peace which
terminates a war. It may bo prudent for
the commission at Paris to avoid any refer-
i enco to Porto Rico again , in which case
congress will be called upon by the presl-
dent to confer citizenship upon the Porto
Rtcans In the same act as that which must
be passed to provide a stable form of govern-
mcnt for ( ho Island.
Should either of these courses be found ,
Impracticable , however , It Is said that thu
International law In Its operation would confer -
fer American cltlzenutilp upon these Porlo
HlcanJ , the general opinion bslng that where
a treaty of cession is fallent on the subject t !
the citizenship changes with the soil.
In the case of the acquisition of Now Mexico
ice the residents of the territory wore given
American citizenship by provision ofhe
treaty.

directly from Holland court circles that the
engagement of the young Queen Wllhelmlna
' to Prince William of Wlen Is a settled fact
and the public announcement will bs made

love match. Princ William Is the queen's
cousin and was born March 26 , 187C. His
mother was the Prlucess Marie of the
Netherlands. Queen Wllhelmlna nnd her
mother leave for Stuttgart next week to be
present at the marrlago of the Princess
I Pauline of Wurtemberj ; and the Prlnco
I Frederic of Wien. brother of the queen's
future fiancee. At thU wedding , which takes
