They came from every part of Nebraska nnd Iowa , as well as from half a dozen other adjacent states , and the fluul jiHh was on In earnest. The bulk of the now arrivals came In on the eastern llncf , and they solemnly declared that nothing would Induce them to ever believe a word against Nebraska weather agiln. They left the Mississippi valley , where It was Ktormlng furiously , nnd landed In the midst of as beautiful an autumn scene as the sea- pen could olfer. They had fullv expected to llud conditions elmllur to those they Toft , and had come In spite of It. And when they emerged Into the bright Nebraska sunshine they were correspondingly elated and vented their satisfaction In the moat enthusiastic cncomlumu. The spoctncln fully deserved admiration. The White City was never more beautiful than yesterday morning as the ml t was tc.it- tcred by the warm radiance of the sunlight The white October haze still lingered i nround the domes and turrets of the big buildings and rested lightly on the trans parent surface of the lagoon. H minimized the dazzling glow of the sun on the white ( olmnna and Its shimmering splendor Im- jmrted an almost celestial beauty to the land- ncapc-s. There was no wind , no dust , no dls- lomforr. .The flacs streamed lazily In a lirccro that was Just sufficient to tots their ( olors Into bold relief against the background ot hazy blue. The water In the lagoon lay tie smooth and translucent as n. mountain lake. The atmosphere was full of the virile inspiration of the frost and the flood of glori ous sunshine diffused life and warmth and beauty everywhere , No wonder that the pcoplt could not find words strong enough to express their enthu- hlasm and delight. They had come to see tile U > > V , but H ( ' * ' % { to t Into the buildings and leave the nccno that charmed thorn with Its transcendent beauty. So they lingered by thousands sitting on the benches and colonnades , leaning on the rail ings and walking up and down the court and uvenucB to enjoy to the utmost the grateful warmth and the splendor ot the spectacle. ItlKKent In Mmiy la > rt. The crowd was easily the biggest since Jubilee week , and It kept getting bigger nil day. A number of the low rates did not go Into force until ) estcrday , and the tide ut people will not reach Its flow until today But the crowd of the day before was bwelled by thouainds of new arrivals , and the street cars again experienced n rush of travel that calle-d out every wheel In the barns. There v. as a continuous Jam at each of the main entrances anil a rush that would have be wildered the ticket fellers .1 couple ot t months ago was handled with a rapidity that was amazing. As the Immense travel delajcd the ar rival ot a number ot the special trains , the attendance was well maintained during most t of the day. At 1 o'clock the people were ic mint ; almoU as rapidly as they were three hours earlier. The pleasant weather kept the crowd more generally In the open than usual , and , although the turnstiles said I BL'.OOO at 3 o'clock. It looked as though there wern nearer 50,000 on the grounds. The evening crowd was limited , as eom- pare-d with that of the day. The air was decidedly sharp after the sun went down k nud a largo proportion of the visitors went down town to attend the theaters or some cither place of amusement , where they could bo more romfoi table From . to 7 o'clock there was u tremendous lush for the street uirs , and bj 9 o'clock enl > a small minority , of the people weic left on the grounds. The Indications of u still better crowd to. day amount almost to a certainty.

The troops are ICKS In evidence , but the crisis Is none the less acute. The boulevards are thronged by excited politicians , who are carefully watched by the police. There Is great ap prehension as to the events of tomorrow when the Dreyfus revision begins with the rending of the board's report , v hlch Is cx- i pccted to take the whole day. The English colon } Is particularly alarmed. Several fam ilies are on the point of departure. The fall ot the radical ministry Is taken by the popular Journals to be not only a victory over the Dreyfusards but a ' triumphant reply to supposed foreign hos tility caused by the Dreyfus affair , Fashoda and the recent war. Patrle says : "Krance Is erect , watchful and Implacable against these who tried to outrage her genius , hope and honor. " The premier's proclamation In the Cham- bcr of the superiority of the civil over the military power Is thought likely to bring on a coup il' etat projected by n conspiracy of generals. The new ministry will almost cer tainly bo progretslst republican , with Dart boil as premier and Delombre In the cabinet. Why Clmiiolne IleHl neil. PARIS , Oct. 26. The Petit Journal today publlsheb an Interview with the former min ister of war. General Chanolne , who ex plained that ho resigned because of the dlf- 1 | forcnco ot opinion with the premier , M. j llrlsson , about the Plcquart affair. He added that ho had not demanded the prosecution ' of the papers which had been attacking the i army , because ho considered that the penal- tics provided by the laws were Insufficient. The moderate papers say that yesterday re- allied their hopes , and the radical and re visionist organs express belief In thu ex istence of a military plot. They urge ti union ot all republicans as the only means of giving stability to the future ministry. Although there IH evidence of suppressed e\citemeut on all Bides here , there has been no disturbance of public order today. The police and municipal guards are out In strong force aud ihc-y will not permit the crowds to assume dangerous strength. But the situation was eagerly discussed by ex cited groups In the main strcciu. President Faitio this morning received. In audience Senator Loubct , president of the Senate , nnd M. Ptszhanel , president of the Chamber of Deputies. U Is the Intention of M. Fauro to form a new cabinet as rapidly as possible and the names of MM. Rlbot and Do Frejclnet are the most prominently men tioned In connection with the premiership. During the afternoon M. Pnurc consulted with M.

In the lobbies of the Chamber of Deputies today aH ehadcs of opinion expressed the conviction that M.

A feeling distinctly more peaceable re ' garding the Fashoda affair prevails In Paris this evening. President Fauro Is taking tbo crisis quietly and the belief Is stronger than j It was yesterday that M. Brlsson fell because - cause ho wished to fall. U Is now rumored that General Chanoino resigned the war office portfolio out of pique at the refusal of tbo general staff committee - tee to give him command of an army corps. Extraordinary police precautions have been ordered against possible disturbances at the court of cassation tomorrow , where the Dreyfus revision appeal will be heard.

Three men vvcro killed yesterday In the worst wreck tbo Union Pacific road has had In a number of years. The following me dead : SAMUEL HINDMAN , engineer. Union Pa- cine , married and aged 5" years ; lived nt G13 South Nineteenth street. WILLIAM UONAN , fireman. Union Pa cific , married and leaves a wife with sev eral children ; lived In Council niuff * . WILLIAM U. SHANNON , brakeman , Union Pacific , married , Omaha. The seriously Injured man Is Johu A. Griding of the Union Pacific , also residing In Omaha , at 1111 Martha street. It was re ported by the railroad company last night that his condition Is not regarded as critical. William Ilonan , the fireman who was klllod , lived In Council HlulTa near thn Northwestern roundhouse. His father Is an old resident of Council Bluffs and works In the Union Pacific loundhouso there. Shannon was a new man In Omaha and a new man an the Union Pacific. It Is said the trip that proved fatal for him was his first trip out. Hut little Is known about him by the company. The wreck occurred nt Silver Creek , Neb. , jesterday morning at 5.23 o'clock. The cell - l Union was between regular westbound ' freight train No 27 and an extra westbound | stock train. The former tialn ran Into the run4 of the latter. All of these killed woto riding on thu engine of the second train when It plunged into the extra stock train. The blame for the vueck will not be placed bv the railway company until an luv'stlga- tlon Is held , but according to tin * compunv B repoitH the fault appears to lie with En gineer Hlndman of the second train , v\ho was killed. Where tlie Wreck Hiiiiitiie | < I , The two trains WPIO running about five minutes apart and were going at a rate of about forty miles an hour befoto the sli- tlon was leached. At the Silver CreeU ata tlon the e\tui train stopped. It Is mild that the rear braKeman was sent back to Mgr.al the second train , but It Is not known how far back ho went or how far back lie was when the second train cimc along. Whether th ? signal was given or not the regular train came along at too great a speed to prevent crashing right Into the roar of the extra stock train , crumbling the caboose and the four freight cars in front of It to Mnlthereens. In the faint light of the oaily morning It was Impossible for the crow of the regular train to bee the extra stock tiain until they were right on top of It. The engine was reversed , but It was too late to do any good for the pilot of the engine ; 1 was already Into the freight car. Engineer Hlndman was thrown back Into | the tender , crushed by falling coal and badly scalded. Fireman William Ilonan was , 'tender , the low'cr'part of his body being crushed In a terrlblo manner. Ho died at 0 o'clock yesterday morning. Brakeman Shannon was riding on the engine nt the time of the accident and was so Injured that ho died yesterday afternoon. A special train vfrom this city was hurried , to the scene of the wteck , 110 miles from Omaha , currying Chief Surgeon Jonas 'and ' beveral assistants. They did all tney could for the injuied men , but the injuries received proved fatal to three and the fourth man was found to bo In a serious condi tion. j'l The engine drawing train No. 27 , locomo- ' live No. 774 , was pretty badly smashed by , I the collision. The- pilot was torn oft and all of the light work nbout the forward , j part of the engine was demolished. Thy ca- i boose and four freight cars In from of It | on the first train were smashed Into kindling , wood nnd their parts scaticred about the right of way for borne distance.
