There have been a good many days that
were better adapted for e\posltion purposes
than yesterday , but nftur the meteorolog
ical frcakt ] that have been turned foose I
during the Iat tv.o weeks It seemed dccl- I
dcdly enrouiaglnt' . At any rate It was pos-
elblo to spend the day on the grounds In
comfort and that scomn to bo about all that
la required to bring out the people.
The Changs was welcomed with
unqualified gratlllcatlon by the ex
position officials , who had begun to fear
that the splendid climax of their anticipa
tions wan to 1)0 ) marre-d by an unseasonable
storm , and the bright skies promise every
thing that they had hoped. The wind still
clings to the north , but Us effect vvasi
scarcely disagreeable after It was tempered
by the warm sunlight. The dust on the
walks had been effectually disposed ot by
thu combined efforts of the elements and
the sprinklers and the people who had come
to sec the show In the face ot menacing
conditions found everything to their
liking and the exposition at Its best.
The crowd was not a record bleaker , but
ff-l
It was a decided Improvement on that of
the day before. The first Installments of
the big volume of travel that Is turning to
ward Omaha appeared , and all the forenoon
tbo pecplo passed the gates In constantly
Increasing numbers. It was very largely
n farmers' crowd , and the sturdy and pros
perous appearance of the agriculturists who
came to see the show and brought their en-
tlio families with them was a suniclent In
dication of prosperous times In the rural
districts. They were well If plainly dressed
and carried themselves with the unmistak
able air of people who are on good terms
with the vvrrld. Many of them were payIng -
Ing their first visit to the exposition and
their expiesslons of admiration and Interest
were Just as extravagant as though their
nelRhbora , had aot.asRiirod tbem , that U la
the greatest show they will over have an
opportunity to sec ,
The Hastings excursion that the Klkhorn
brought in did not fully fulfill ex-
pectutlonb. The special dropped 300 or
400 at the north gate , but these were only a
handful as compared with the general ar-
llvals. The people accounted for the rather
limited number of excursionists by saying
that many of their neighbors wanted to wait
n day or two and then stay to see the finish
nnd they declared that they will come In
full force during the next two days.
With Indications that the present good
weather will continue through the week the
expectations of a magnificent finish are em
phasized. People have been waiting for the
weather to settle an 1 now they will start
with a rush The railroads are prepared to
haul Immense crowds during the next two
or three davs , and as most of the visitors
will remain until the end of the week the
nttcndance Is expected to Increase every day
until the grand climax Is reached and Omaha
day goes aftci the record. It had been ex
pected thit the last day of the show would
have to depend very largely on local attend
ance , but It begins to look as though It
would be heavily supplemented. There sterns
to bo a very general desire on the part ol
Iowa and Nebraska people to be In nt the
finish , and this encourages the belief that II
the Omaha people turn out as they should
the 100,000 mark can be exceeded. This U
thn end toward which the management ll
directing its energies and with flattering
proipects of success.
The big trl-clty excursion from Daven
port , Hock Island and Mollnc Is scheduled tc
arrlvo at S o'clock this morning and the
party will constitute the main feature ol
'the day. The visitors will Indulge In a pro-
Kranv of music and specchmaklng In tin
Auditorium at 2 o'clock and this will prob
ably bo the last formal celebration on tin
irouuds with the- exception ot the closliif
exercises on Omaha day.

MOrtE PEACEFUL IN EUROPE

( Cop > right. IS93 , by Press Publishing Co. )
LONDON , Oct. 25. ( Now York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Despite an In
cipient panic on the Stock exchange , from
which It recovered before lunch , and the un
concealed naval preparations at Portsmouth
and Toulon , the opinion strongly prevails
tonight In the political clubs that there will
bo no war. The great obstacle to a pacific
rolutlon was the declaration of SalUbury
that Fashoda could not bo the subject of
negotiation ! ; . That bar Is now removed and
any real danger of war lies In the Paris
crisis.
LONDON , Oct. 25. All Interest today la
centered In the marquis of Salisbury's addi
tion to the Tashoda correspondence , con
tained In the publication of the British
blue book on that subject. The con&crvatlvo
newspapers express themselves KB being
hlehlv Dlcascd with this rejoinder to the
Trench yellow book on the same subject.
They declare that It dispels the Idea spread
by the dispatch of the Trench ambassador
there , Baron do Courccl , that the British
premier was willing to negotiate on tiu
whofo question. But the liberal
and radical organs stlfl consider the mar
quis of Salisbury's attitude admits of nego
tiations promising a friendly arrangement.
The entire press , however , scouts the Idea
of the possession of Faehoda coming within
the sphere of the discussion ,
The French papers today are more hope
ful and believe that a pacific solution of the
dispute will be found.
The Hngllsh papers are full of particulars
of naval news , but the only fresh develop
ment Is an order received nt Portsmouth to
prepare nil the ships of the fleet and the re
serve for Immediate mobilization. Elgin
additional war ships there , In consequence ,
commenced coaling this morning and workIng -
Ing parties were Immediately placed on
board other reserve war vessels at Ports
mouth.
Although not connected with the war
preparations , much attention has been at
tracted by a request received by the Clyde
shipbuilders from the English admiralty
for tenders for four new first-cHss battle
ships , a first-class cruiser and twelve tor
pedo boat destroyers. The distinguishing
feature Is the Increased armament which , It
Is believed , will make the battleships , when
ready for service , the most powerful vessels
of their class afloat. They will have a
speed of nineteen knots. The cruiser will
be of 11,100 tons and will be able to steam
twenty-three knots an hour. All the ves
sels will mount exceptionally strong quick-
firing guns.
FRENCH EFFORTS FOR PEACE

tvvceii Snnlii nnd United htatcx.
PARIS , Oct. 25. The French yellow bonk ,
dealing with the part Franco took In the
Spanish-American war , is published. It
comprises seventeen documents and consists
of a dry record of the exchange of d'spatchea
with Madrid and Washington while ar-
ranccmcnts were being made for the medla-
llqn of Fraoff. M. Cambon yil'F5r ' bJaci- .
bassador at Washington , It is shown , cabled
August 4 , that the United Slates had ac
cepted Spain's ' propoaal that the peace nego
tiations bo held at Paris , saying that Pres
ident McKlnlcy considered the United States
government thereby gave the Spanish gov-
ernmment a mark of Its good will and
Trance a token of Its confidence.
Another dispatch from M. Cambon , dated
August 13 , announces the signing ot the pro
tocol and adds that President McKlnley has
warmly thanked him for France's good
offices , expressing satisfaction at seeing that
the negotiations would continue at Paris ,
To this M. Cambon replied that he was verj
much pleased at the confidence Prcldent
McKlnley dlspla > cd In the France govern
ment and Its representative.
M. Delcasse , the French minister of for
eign affairs , cabled on August 13 , that he
highly appreciated these thanks , which , he
added , were striking proof that "the White
Hoimo had never for one minute misunder
stood the high motives which inspired oui
conduct. "
Secretary Day , In a dispatch dated Augusl
15 , addressed to M. Cambon , announces thai
a suspension of hostilities had been ordered
nnd expressed satisfaction at the fast thai
M. Cambou and Trance had contributed U
this happy result. The yellow book con
cludes with M. Dclcasse's dispatch to tin
Trench ambaesadora at London , St. Peters
burg , Berlin and Vienna , Informing them o
the mediation ot Trauco and cmmmartzlnf

WASHINGTON , Oct. 23. At the cabinet
meeting today the situation In , Cuba was
gene over for the Information of those mem
bers who did not -seo the president yester
day. It was explained that the time limit
for the evacuation of the Island had been
extended from December _ 1 to January 1 and
that the United States would Oisunio control
of the government of the several elides nnd
provinces as fust as they tvere evacuated by
the Spaniards , but no faster. Havana probably -
| ably will be the'last ot the cities to remove
i Its troops and the lasl to Bufrendcr civil
I control to the United States. Tils , however ,
1 must bo accomplished by January 1.
i The question o * the relation Porto Ulco

United States Is recolvlpg the careful con
sideration cf the president and the members
of the cabinet. It la not unlikely that con
gress will be asked ' .o pass some needed

mittee will bo appointed to consider with

( Copyright , 189' , by Press Publishing Jo )
PAIUS , Oct. 25. ( New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram ) The Spanish
commission hat been Instructed to delay ni
much as possible Its acquiescence In the
American refusal to assume the Cuban debt ,
but to do nothing to glvo the American
commissioners ground for breaking off nego
tiations. The Spanish commissioners declare
a circular note will bo addressed to the
pbwers protesting against the consequences
of the assumption of the Cuban debt upon
the solvency of Spain Having done this
Spain will bow to the Inevitable , because It
has been given clearly to understand that
the United States will not go a step further
In the negotlatlonJ until the way Is cleared
o ! the Cuban debt question and evacuation
positively promised for January 1 , 1899. If
an answer In the affirmative Is received to
morrow from Spain then the American com
mission will make known the Intentions ot
the United States with regard to the recog
nition of the Philippine debt and the reten
tion of the greater part of the archipelago
by America.
The Trench blue book today fully confirms
the fact that no official communication ot
any kind has passed between Spain and the
United States yet except through Trench
diplomacy , until the Paris peace commission
met. What is not generally known Is the
fact that Spain used French diplomacy sev -
oral times to elicit from the American gov
ernment , without SUPCCSS so faran admission
of the crntentlon that the preliminary praco
protocol had not surrendered any part of
Spanish rights or sovereignty over the
Philippines or prepared the way for doing

MARSHALLTOW.V , la. . Oft 25 ( Spe
cial Telegram. ) Tim most diabolical mur
der In the history ot Marshall county has
Just been revealed by the confession ot
James Ogg , a lad 15 years old.
A few days ago Charles Russell , an aged
and wealthy farrnnr who resided near LIs-
comb. ' u li/s Aiffirthern part of the cmtnty ,
died from the effects cf drinking halt n
bottle of beer which contained poison ,
Young Ogg , who was In the employ of Rus
sell , stated Ho had found the beer In the
highway near the residence of n neighbor ,
at whoso house the divorced wife of Rus
sell was stajlng ; that ho had taken It home
and Russell had drunk it.
During the last few years Russell hail
been badly treated by his wife and family ,
and suspicion at once pointed to the wife
as the murderer. This suspicion wast In
tensified by the statement of Will Adams
who said Russell's dying accusation liac
been that his wife poisoned him. Adam :
Is u nnphew of Mrs. Rusacll and has alwayi
takpn the old man's part In the family diffi
culties. Russell had made a will In whlct
ho left all his valuable farm property t <
Adams.
lUis'rtell's stomach and Internal organ :
were given a chemical analysis , reveallni
the presence of arsenic. Then Ogg wa
placed In the sweat box and questioned b ;
three shrewd lawyers. After nearly twelvi
hours Ogg weakened and today confrsset
that at the Instigation of Adams ho wen
to the town of Union and bought the ar
senlc , which he gave Adams ; that the latto
placed It In the beer and Ogg gave the bee
to Russell. Ogg was to receive ? 50 for hi
services.
Adams was arrested this evening. Mrs
Russell , however , declares Adams Is Inno
cent and that Ogg Is al no guilty.
