The committee- was In Bcssion during the
greater portion of the day. mont of the
time being devoted to the discussion of
finaun K.
All of the department rfilcf clerks were
instructed to HUhmlt reports as to the num
ber of ( fcople employed , the duties required
of such employes and the labors performed
by oach. This In for the purpose of ascer-
tuinlcg Informntlon relative to the amount
of bfilp required to conduct the business.
3t it expected that these reports will be In
at an adjourned meeting that is to be tield
tit 4 o'clock this afternoon.
While the committee was in session yes-
tprclay a tplegrann WHO rerclved from Super
intendent Gullies of the Indian bureau. slut-
liig that ht > bus secured the attendance of
eevnnty-five Sioux Indians of the Pine
Ridge agency , together with their ponies
and camp equipment. Secretary Smith wr.B
Instructs to arrange for tUe transportation
of these people to Omaha. It IE thought
that they will arrive here next vveek to join
the Indian encampment.
There wns nothing done with respect to
muting changes in any of the departments
of the exposition , ttie members of the com
mittee deriding to wait and Investigate the
needs of the dlffurent branches of the show
before applying the pruning knife.
Prior to the meeting the members of the
committee visited the offices in the Service
building , met the employes , looked over
their hookB and casually examined their
work.
The memhors of fhe committee do not
anticipate any difficulty In financing the ex
position , ttie treasury of which they found
empty when they took hold yesterday. They
have the assurance of btnkerfi and others
in the city that ull of the funds required
will be forthcoming whenever needed.
Beginning Immediately , they will enter into
Hie work of oecurlng exhibits to complete
the filling of all buildings upon the ground.
They will take hold of the colonial feature
of the exposition and in the course of the
next few weeks expect to have a most
creditable exhibit in the Colonial building.

The following expressions of opinion in
dicate tbe prevailing sentiment of the com
munity as to the reorganization of the
Greater America Exposition :
< X W. lijrnan H am not sufficiently In
formed an to the merits of the controversy
to express an opinion on it. It Is unfortu
nate that the trouble arose in the first
place. As to the prospects of tbe exposition
from now on , they seem to be excellent.
The practical assurance of good crops ought
to Insure the success of tbe exposition.
Herman Kountze I think thp stand the
papers have taken and the troubles the ex
position got Into have been most unfortu
nate. While I was opposed to the contin
uance of the exposition this year. 1 think
that The Bee made 8 mistake in tbe manner
of its opposition. It is essential that the
exposltlo-n henceforth t > e made to succeed ,
for it would 'be- ' very damaging to Omaha
should H fall , now that it has been started.
J. H. EvanB The reorganization of the
X executive committee was the only thing
considering thut there was an entire luck
of harmony before. In such an enterprise
there must be unanimity of action and if
that was the only way to secure It , it was
right. While Iwas opposed to this year's
exposition at first and did not believe it
could be carried through with credit after
whtrt. WUB done last year , yet it deserves
to Bueceed now that it has been opened
There is a great dpul to see out there and
no more pleasant jilnre to spend time any
where near Omahu. I eoe no reason whj
it should not be carried cm successfully.
J. 'H. ' Mlllard The three men added to
the executive committee are all excellent
persons for the places and will do much to
belp the exposition , although the success
of tbe exposition will depend on the whole
iboard and not simply on the efforts of a
few men. The prospects for the enter
prise are good. There is no reason , with
all the prosperity In the country and no
competing exposition in the northwest , whj
thr exposition should not succeed.
H. W. Yate As to the merits of the con
troversy 1 cannot speuk advisedly. 1 have
looked upon tbe exposition as 1 have the
Philippine war ; I was opposed to its com
mencement , but now tlwt It Is under wnj
it should be given all possible support.
M. T. .Ilarlow 1 foave l > een too busy with
my business affaire to pay clone attention
to tbe course of the exposition troubles.
J. W. Thomas I am acquainted pnrsonally
with "the " men added to the executive com
mrttep and ktion that they are very strong
rnim. They will prove an excellent addition
to the management. As to the cventt which
led up to the changes , it IK pretty hard to
know them thoroughly. I suppose the men
who resigned mount what they said. The
exposition , I believe , will succeed.
G. W. Kelley I certainly think thut there
lii now every chance to make the exposition
n succesb. ifieri should be cnucentrnlfi
towards flppeloplng the colonial features ant
supplying BitiBic of Die highest order. These
1 regurd KB the Important features. The
pcoplp have been reading and thinking abou
the colonies during the lust your , and every
thing that can be secured from tbe island
will bo of the greatest interest. By work

A. P. Tuley ; I thlnl : that the expedition
will now be a success. I was against It at
irst , but now we Lave it , and everyone
should muVe an effort to BM It through.
A. C. Ilarte Everyone Is glad to re that
the exposition IB now on the road to suo-

CCBti.R. R. RlngwaH The men who have Just
bern rim-ted to places on thp executive
: : ommlttee are citizens In whom everyone
has confldnce and they will make a rous
ing success of the exposition. There was al
together too much politics In It before , and
lhat will kill any popular enterprise. The
character of tlie men who are now at the
tiHlm Is a sufficient guarantee that the un
dertaking will be conducted on business
principle * , and I believe U will be success

AV. S. Balduff The exposition IE now in
good bandt. und it will be a success. I
have no suggestions to offer us the men
who are in charge are competent to run
it. but 1 think that a liberal policy all around
will be advisable.
O. D. Woodward 1 should think the re
organization would be of great benefit to
the exposition if all discord Is banished and
the new committee is given strong support
by directors and citizens.
Rev. Luther M. Kuhns Anjthlng that
will promote the good of the city and ad
vance the Intercpts of our business men
who have tbe welfare of the city at heart
meets with my approval.
Nat Brown Everything IB all right so
far as I know. Had I not read It in the
newspapers I would not have known there
was an exposition running otii there ; so
the change certainly can do no harm.
C. E. Sparkf I believe that everything
has been satisfactorily settled. The Central
Labor union will lend its hearty support
to the exposition and do all it can to make
it a success.
Jay E. White It certainly needs some one
to lake care of the exposition and keep it
from degenerating into a Midway Gbow.
The infusion of new blood into the * com-
xnititce ought to be .beneficial , especially as
the railroads are represented.
Deecher Hlgby They have some excellent
new men on the executive committee men
who will know how to make the exposition
succeed if any one -does. I believe that
later in the season the business of the ex
position 'Will improve end thut in 'the end
it will be a financial success. It 'deserves '
to be ; the grounds alone are worth the
price of admission.
C. O. Lobeck Thut new blood they have
infused Into abe executive committe Is a
fine thing for the. exposition. The three
men added are strong men and will do the
affair a great deal of good.
Health Commissioner Spalding I have not
followed the details of the controversy
closely enough to give a judgment on it.
The exposition should be continued , how
ever , and doubtless will be.
C. H. Forby 1 am opposed to the recent
proceeding and believe that it was wrong.
1 am a republican and the former executive
board was democratic in tendency ; still , I
do not Chink the proper course has been
pursued.

The Missouri editors owned the exposition
yesterday afternoon and last night and if
there was u door that was closed against
them they did not succeed In finding it. After
spending the early portion of the day down
town , escorted by Superintendent Cutrlght
ofthe Publicity department , -they visited the
exposition grounds , whore during the after
noon they innpscted the buildings. At C
o'clock they were banqueted in the Boys'
and Girls' building , where President Miller
presided. After the repast he delivered a
short address of welcome.
- In speaking to the editors and their wives
President Miller dwelt upon the courage und
bruvcry of the men und the beauty of the
women of the south. He referred to the hos
pitality of the southern people , saying that
it is not excelled any place on earth. A glow
ing tribute was paid to General Joe Wheeler
und General Fltz Hugh Lee and the services
that they have rendered for the country ,
both UF civilians and sofdlcrs. Their loyalty
to .the flag is something that bus been ap
preciated und bus won them friends in every
city and hamlet in the north.
Touching mutters nearer ut home. Presi
dent Miller spoke of the hopes of the man
agers of the exposition und atsured tbe vis
itors thut , backed by tbe progresslvenesg of
the citizens of Omuha and the pride of the
west , it cannot help being a success.
Responding' to itbc uddrcsa of welcome , Ed
itor Howard Ellis , vice president of the Edi
torial usHociution and also publisher of the
New Florence Leader , expressed the opinion
thnt In hospitality it would be Impossible for
the Mlsfiuurlunf to excel the people of Omaha.
He predicted a successful seUHan for tbe ex
position und felt certain that upon tbe com
pletion of the Installing of the exhibits it
will be n great drawing card.
After the meal , escorted by President Mil
ler , Secretary Smith and tbe superintendent ,
tbe visitors listened to tbe concert , viewed
the grand court Illuminated and after admir
ing it for a time strolled through the Mid
way , visiting a number of the shows.

Exhibitors , concessionaires and all other *
interested In the exposition experienced a
feeling of relief yesterday when they learned
of the make-up of the new executive com-
mlttre. They felt that a loud had been
lifted and that from now on the exposition
will grow aud be pushed to a successful
conclusion. These people realize the fact
that tbe members of the committee us now
constituted are men of large experience ,
plenty of moans und have the interests of
the city und mute ut heart. They argue
that , having been placed in the responsible
positions which they now occupy , these men
cannot Tor the sake of their business reputa
tions permit the exposition to go down.
Yesterday , when the news of the reorgan
ization of the committee became public ,

they contracted space necks ego , -but hive

The public Is al lant learning who thp
grafters of the Greater America Exposition
arc. OK well UB why the enterprise bus becu
hundlcapped before and ulnce its opening.
It ha * been grafted almost to dentil , but an
heroic remedy has been applied , and ug a
r puVt the exposition will not only survive ,
but will in the near future prove B success.
"The real director general of the exposi
tion wan discovered yesterday ftt the meeting
of the Board of Directors , " said a member
of that board. "That important personage
wue found to be Richard Metcalfe of tbe
World-Herald. His able assistants have
been Kltcfipn. Hayden and Smyth , now num
bered among the grand army of 'hnfi-beens.1
Director General Metcalfe has engineered
the whelp shooting match in the Interests
of the free sllverltpR , and principal among
whom IK Kitchen , who has lost nothing , you
cun rent assured. In the little game of graft.
Metcalfe'e experience enabled him to be
come an admirable director general of the
grafting contingent. He hasn't overlooked
a white chip. 1 was not in the least sur
prised to learn that he hud secured the ap
pointment of the editor of tbe Omaha Weekly
World-Herald to a good paying exposition
place. He also had Ills sinter placed on the
pay roll In place of Mihe Butterfleld , who
wan unceremoniously removed by Con Gal
lagher from the matromihlp of one of the
buildings to make room for this relative of
the World-Herald.
"H wan blgh time that the exposition
should be reorganized. " said n member of
tbe executive committee of the TranBmis-
slEfilppl Exposition : "had not this stop been
taken the enterpri > was doomed to com
plete collapse In the near future. Tbe men
who were running it were altogether too
narrov-gauged , and had never had any
thing to do with public affairs of this char
acter.
"Just think of It ! Jim Kitchen , who op
posed the TransmlBciSBippl Exposition until I
he saw It was going to "be a success , was ! '
enabled to make more than $30.000 out of j I
the crowds who came to Omaha to attend I
the show. This money put him on hU feet.
With it he paid off hte mortgage and saved
himself from foreclosure proceedings. Now ,
this same Jim Kitchen if BO small und mean
that he refused to issue Greater America
Exposition passes to the mcmbcre of the
TransmlselBBlppI executive committee tbe
men who for two yearn contributed their
time and money and labor to make tbe
TransmissiBRippi Exposition a success ,
thereby incidentally helping Kitchen out of
the hole. What do you think of that'
Isn't Jim Kitchen a very ungrateful man ?
And isn't Ingratitude the 'basest ' of crimes ?
"Then again : Look at the Hoydens. These
enterprising merchants are credited with
selling over $2,000,000 worth of goods during
the exposition season , and are reputed to
have made over $100,000. When the expo
sition wns over Mr. William Haj-den pre
sented a damage claim on account of a
side show , the 'Streets of Cairo.1 and al
though he was able to get a no-called Judg
ment under contempt proceedings before
Judge Scott , the fact is that he might have
been compelled to spend ten years in the
courts , and in the end probably not have
got u dollar. The executive committee of the
old board , however , with the greatest liber-
altiy , allowed Hayden $14,000 on this claim ;
nevertheless tbe Haydens evidently don't
appreciate that favor. Hayden , too , was op-
poped to IsBUing passes to the members of
tbe committee that placed $14.000 in his cash
register. How is that for gratitude ?
"As to myself. I do not care , and I do not
think my colleagues care , a snap of the
finger about it , but it shows tbe plcayunish
policy that bus been pursued in an cnter-
priee that requires some liberality and cour
tesy in Its management to make it the suc
cess it should be. It was at least due to us
to have been invited to the opening , espe
cially in view of the fact that when we
turned this property over to the Greater
America we had refused an offer of $2,500
more from the Chicago Wrecking company
than we could get from the present expo
sition company , which was thus enabled to
go ahead with its show. Men capable of
mch ingratitude are not fit to manage great
public enterprises like expositions. "
MIW COMMITTEE HAIID AT WOIUC.
Intention Ii. to Conduct Exposition for
Benefit of tinPublic - .
The reorganized executive committee pro
poses to take hold of the exposition affairs
with a vigorous and honest hand , with tbe
view of promoting the enterprise for the best
intercuts of the public , and not for the benefit
of a lot of grafters. The first thing to be
done is to bring order out of chaos. This
will be done inside of twenty four hours. The
new committee is not losing a minute of
time. It It , already hard at work untying the
tnngled mess into which the grafters budget
got the cxoosltion.
It is the intention of the committee to im
prove the exposition in every possible way
nd make it worthy of tbe name that has
been given it the Greuter America Exposi
tion ana worthy of the city of Omnha and
the entire west. The plans of the reorganized
exposition are now being formulated and will
be completed in a day or two. These plans
will then be curried out us rapidly at > pot-
slble.
There will be no luck of money to carry
on the work , now that the people feel assured
that the enterprise IB to be conducted hon
estly and with a vigor that wiir make it a
succeps Several leading bankers have vol
unteered to furnish all necessary capital.
They have expressed the utmost confidence
in the exposition , now that certain obstacles
have been removed.

It will be remembered that Just prior to

charged Mr. Cutrlght and his entire office
force , thus preventing the distribution of
exposition news to ouulde papers. Yester

tbe greater iportion of next week. Tbe coun

An amusing Incident occurred in tbe Cuban
Village yesterday. As is well known , one of
the attractions ol tbe place Is Valentine , the
man who occupied tbe position of official ex
ecutioner to Weyler , the Spanish general In
Cuba , prior to the conquest .by . the United
States. This man Vafentlne is said to have
put to death 280 Cubans and only saved his
life by accepting the position of public ex
ecutioner. With 'him le' has -the instrument
of death that he uwd in Morxo castle. It is
a garrote , and when applied breaks the neck
of .the victim. Ever since coming here Val
entine has been sought after by the camera
fiends and has been photographed in and out
of season. Yesterday a young man -was get
ting a focus upon Valentine when the latter
let out a whoop that would startle -the dead
and started utter the artist , 'Who left his
camera and struck .the pike at a rate of
speed that would do credit to a profeBsional
sprinter. His camera is now one of the ex-
hiblU at the Cuban village.
The Old Plantation has been denominated
the "Fun Factory , " and is getting to be the
place where all of the people go when they
iave the blues. The darkles are getting bet
ter and better every day and some of .their
Jokes and gags arc excruciating. The camp
meeting scene where a gang of rowdies drop
in and convert the -house of worship into a
dance hall always catches the audience.
The Philippine restaurant stin .catches the
crowd. Not only do .the people go there to
cat , but also to look out through the rear
windows and watch the progress that Is be
ing made in converting the court into a
tropical garden.
Rain or shine the Scenic Railway moves
along. People who want quick action on
their money always patronize this place and
then they never tire of riding up and down
the 'hills at a rate of npeed that eiceeds
sixty miles per hour.
Hobson Sinking the Merrimnc wes of ppc-
cial interest to a party of United States suil-
ors who were upon .the . grounds yesterday.
The boys were not in the vicinity of Cuba
at the time , but having read and heard of
the episode were anxious to Bee it reproduced ,
even upon a smaller and less dangerous scale.
The Beauty Congress -was a good drawing
card yesterday , 'but it was not BO popular BE
it had been. This wns due to the fact that
the Irish girl , who has come to lx > a gen
eral favorite , was elck and consequently ap
peared only during a portion of the day. The
facts are that the girl had eaten too many
of the Midway sandwiches and her stomach
was not equal to the emergency.
The Wurugraph , representing the battle of
Manila , brought in a large number of dollars
to the owners yesterday. It was a crowd
that eeemed to be looking at this class of
moving pictures and eomc of the people in

Omaha democrats.who . stand .forth for
democracy "because " of their love lor the
party and its principles and who are op
posed to fusion for the purpose of enjoying
the .fruits of the spoilsmen , had a jollifica
tion meeting last night. It' was the occa
sion of the regular meeting of the Douglas
county democracy and was held In OfiLhoff's
hall , corner of Sixteenth and California
streets , -which was well filled when President
John Liddell called the meeting to order.
"Expansion , " "Trusts" and "Fusion , " each
( i treated Irom an "anti" standpoint , were
the themes which terved as texts for the
speakers. The true doctrines of democracy
were expounded by each one who addressed
the meeting and it was an enthusiastic and
enjoyable gathering for all who 'braved the
oppressive heat of the nvening and ventured
out to attend a democratic love feast. No i
mention whatever 'was ' made of the free
silver question.
L. J. Abbott -was the first speaker. His
subject -was "Expansion" and he was un
alterably opposed to it. He treated the
question from a moral and a financial stand
point. Regarding the former he doubted
the advisability of sending American hoys
to the Islands to brave hardships and death
in order to pacify the islands. He staled
thut if TVP owed anything to the- Filipinos
from a moral standpoint its payment could
better be accomplished by Bending teachers
and missionaries to educate and Christianize
the natives. Meeting it from a commercial
side ne quoted voluminous figures to con
vince his auditors that the Philippine in
vestment would not pay from a financial
etandpoint. It would noi have bt > en a good
democratic Wow-out If Mark Hanna liad not
received some complimentary allusions and
these were administered to that wrfl known
gentleman 'by Mr. Abbott when he remarked
that Mark Hanna and a few others -were
interested in getting hold of the Philippines
in order to further their financial interests
by promoting railroads and other enter
prises.
Triixtf. Tein > nnec' l.
The subject of "Trusts" was bandied by
C. C. Wright. iHe admitted that thus far
there is no means of stating reliably what
the pcflition of either party will toe on the
subject of this all-important matter and con
fessed hte embarrassment at delivering a
speech in advance of established party policy.
He assured his hearers that tbe democratic
party is the party which has always Blood
for the individual rights of the citizen us
opposed to corporate interests and accumu
lated wealth. He admitted that trusts .were
not all bad and related some ot the redeem
ing features discovered In Home of the large
corporate 'bodies. ' Air. "Wright did not favor
the association of political and business
questions and does not 1 > elieve In tbe govern
mental control of trusts , fearing that this
will lead to boclallsm , a theory which
democmcy opposes. ( He thought the beet
way around tbe difficulty would 'be ' the reg
ulation of corporations by tbe different mates
to tbe extent that no corporate privileges be
granted where trusts will result.
\ \ ' . D. Oldbam , deputy attorney general of
the state , delivered nil Impromtu address
which -was heartily enjoyed. He eulogized
the democratic party and predicted great
victories for It in the future , in cufce Jt fol
lows out the traditions and principles of ] U >

R. V * . Patrick spoke on tbe question of
"Fusion. " His remarks -wcirc especially
felicitous and bo gpoko of tbe great pleasure
It gave him to mingle with a crowd of demo
crat * , and be able to call them "fellow demo-
crate. " H Kald tbe democrats had been
following a'uir false frodt > and worshipping
graven images for the last few years , but be
predicted that this had come to an vud. He
intimated that the democratic party was big
enough and broad enough to receive ull tbcfce
suffering - withwhatever 'brand ' of political
ailment ther may 1 > e and said that It oc
cupied the hame position now as it did
twenty ycare ago when tbe "anu-monopo-
listK" wanted to fuse Their desire -wa& not
grunted by the democrats , but they wore in
vited to join with the established party and

fuslontem and fhowcd that the democrats
had not profltted 'by ' it in the least. He said
that the question of spoils was not the
fundamental one with any party , but when \
it does enter in the democrats would like to '
have their share. I
During the course of the meeting there
were a couple of recitations and music of a
varied nature provided for the enjoyment of
