It was a day given over to the children ,
as all of the provlqus Wednesdays have been
since the gates of the Greater America Ex
position swung In. The llttlo folks wcro out
In goodly cumbers , but there were fewer of
them on the grounds than upon previous
occasions , which fact may bo accounted for
by reason of the Intense heat. All day long
the sun shone down with a blistering heat.
The children felt It and Instead of running
hero and there they kept In the shade or In
close proximity to some of the tanks thit
were filled with Ice water. All the Midway
people cut prices to the llttlo folks , but
even this did not entice them within the
places of amusement. However , as the sun
crept out of sight , the youngsters started In
to do eomo sightseeing and during the re
maining hours of the day they trooped
through the buildings and visited the Mid
way , where they enjoyed themselves as only
children can.
In the forenoon , decked out with fancy
blankets and painted faces , the Indians gave
a parade. They left the exposition grounds
by way of the Sherman avenue gate and
proceeded down town , where they covered
the principal business streets , reaching the
grounds on their return trip shortly after
noon. Although they were mounted , they
were pretty thoroughly fagged out by the
long rldo and the heat and showed little
disposition to put much snap Into their
movements- .
During the afternoon the Indians gave an
entertainment on the race track. This was
attended largely by the boys and girls , who
wore amused immensely. The entertainment
consisted of foot and pony races and closing
with a mimics attack upon a stage coach ,
and the killing of the occupants. It Is pre
sumed that the Indians Impersonated the
methods pursued many years ago In holdIng -
t Ing up and dlspo lng ot travelers.
Y y In the evening the parents of many of the
children visited the grounds for the pur
pose of hunting out their llttlo ones and
seeing them safe home. Many of them re
mained through the evening's entertainment ,
which consisted of a concert by the band
and fireworks on the Plaza.
The evening crowd was about up to the
average , but It was far from being a record-
breaker. There ivore some strangers In at
tendance , both during the day and evening.

Yesterday afternoon C. M. "Wllhclm of the

his debut as a manager of sporting events ,
and succeeded in pleasing the large audience
which filled the grand stand at the race
course.
The flrst event on the racing program was
a pony rape , with flve entries and three
moneys. It was a half-mile dash , and was
won In fifty-six seconds by Poor EOt , with
Philip Standing Bear second and Yellow

the pole. At the quarter he left the track
and bolted for an open gate , but was brought

Yesterday afternoon and last night con-
talnod many 'busy ' hours for the Midway
people , who put In a good deal of time ca
tering to the llttlo folks who were upon
the exposition grounds In goodly numbers.
All of the shows cut their rotes to the boys
and girls and none of the proprietors were
sorry , as the presence ot the youngsters
added many dimes to the treasuries ,
At Hagenback's they are preparing for a
star event , which U the coming of Mme.
Planka with her troupe of six trained llona.
She will arrive next Tuesday and will fill
a brief engagement. She \a \ the same woman
who was hero last season and created a sen
sation. Her lions are as savage as brutes
from the Jungle , yet she goes Into the arena
among them and handles them with as llt
tlo fear as though they were dogs.
Several additions have been made to the
Hawaiian theater In the way of beautifying
the grounds. The lawns have been sodded
and shade trees and plants huva been
planted. The native huts have been com
pleted and prove to be an attractive nov
elty. The theater Is crowded both afternoon
and night by society people who never eeem
to tire of watching the dances and listening
to the music.
In the Cuban village , Valentine , the exe
cutioner nt Morro castle , who , while serv
ing Weylcr , put nearly 1,000 political prison
ers to death , continues to be the attraction.
Few people have any respect for this col
ored man and thcro Is a tendency to shun
him. yet all of those who visit the place
are anxious to get a look at him.
The Artists' Studio , with Its living mod
els , continues to be one of the prime favor
ites with most of the visitors to the grounds.
Few havo.nn Idea how llfo-slzcd portraits
are secured. Here they see the work done.
They see the artist at work transferring 'the
Imago to the canvas.
The children had great fun at the Old
Plantation yesterday. The little folks wandered -
derod among the negro huts , visited with
the old nuntles , ate their hoecakes and
listened to their stories of southern life.
They also enjoyed themselves In the theater ,
where they witnessed the cakewalk and the
camp meeting scene , something that Is sel
dom seen In the north.
Children who were of a patriotic turn
ot mind spent a great deal ot tlmo visiting
the Battle of Lookout Mountain , the Wara-
graph and the Sinking of the Mcrrlmac. All
of them are up In United States history , and
seeing the scones and the pictures brought
forcibly to their minds the bravery of the
American soldiers nnd seamen.
With the iMerry-go-'round children's day
Is always a great success , financially , and
yesterday -was no exception to the rule. The
llttlo folks clambered over the animals , rode
the horses , camels and lions and frolicked
about the vehicles. They enjoyed themselves
and some of them remained around the place
until late at night.
The Scenic Railway is one thing that
never falls to catch the children. Whllo
the little ones are not swifter than the
children In other cities , It is great sport for
them to swing around the curves and up anO
down the hills at a speed of thirty miles
per hour. All day long the cars were on
the move and during a greater portion ol
the tlmo they 'were crowded.

Yesterday was an unusually busy day ai
the Filipino village , which will open its
doors to the public this evening. During
a greater portion of the morning and all o
the afternoon the actors were kept upon the
stage rehearsing for the performance. 'All '
or nearly all. of the people in the village ,
are actors , tout for fear that they might
be afflicted with stage fright Manager Moore
kept them playing , singing and dancing.
The Filipinos are a lot of small people
and when upon the stacc they resemble In
size a party ot eighth grade schoolboys
Their actions , however , are more like , these
of matured men. In their conversation they
are quick and always ready with their
answers. As dancers they are all successful
being graceful and light upon their feet
Their dances are a good deal upon the style
of the American waltzes , yet there are some
national dances that are altogether different
Still none of them arc in anywise scnsattona
or vulgar.
The singing of the Filipinos Is low am
plaintive , In this respect being much like
that of the Hawallans. Still It is strong
and possesses lots of scope. In the orchestra
there are twelve pieces , Including mando
llns , guitars , banjoes and a harp. One o
their catchy pieces Is Agulnaldo's march
which Is about as quick as Yankee Doodle
and Is rather pleasant to the car. In thel
repertoire they have "Hot Time , " "Amer
lea , " "Star Spangled Banner" nnd a dozen
other familiar tunes which they picked up
by hearing them played In and arounc
Manila by the soldiers.

RENNCS , France , Aug. 0. The secret
csalon ot the Dreyfus court-martial today
aated from 6:30 : a. m. until 11:45 : a. m. Gen-
ral Chanolnc nearly completed his part ot
ho explanation of the dossier. He will bo
leard tomorrow for about a couple ot hours
and then M. Paleologuo of the foreign ofllco
vin take up the task , which , It Is under
stood , will bo completed Friday next. A
mblic session , therefore , will take place
Saturday morning. The dossier consists of
about 400 documents , of which fifty vtcro
llsposcd of yesterday. Several of the docu.
mentfl are written In German.
During the proceedings today a German
dictionary was sent for and the correspond
ent hero of the Associated Press learned
rom a sure source thai when certain words
and expressions could not bo exactly undcr-
Btood , even with the aid of the dictionary ,
Dreyfus , who Is a perfect German scholar ,
volunteered a translation and was allowed to
give explanations which were of valuable as
sistance to the court.
The precautionary police measures today
were much more stringent than yesterday.
Strong detachments of Infantry , Instead ot
; ondarmc3 , cordoned the streets leading to
.he Lycee. Gendarmes atone performed this
duty yesterday and the public , -who were
much less numerous , barely mustering , 300
persons , were pressed still further back.
Persons standing Insldo the entrance hall ot
a house within view of the door of the
Lycee were even compelled by gendarmes to
reti nt Into the Interior of the houao and
iho front door was locked. Absolutely no-
Dody but police and soldiers were thus within
100 yards of Dreyfus when ho crossed the
Avenue do la Gare.
The police authorities explain the rigor
of these measures on the ground that yester
day a few cries against the prisoner were
raised while ho was crossing the avenue.
Not a discordant note was heard anywhere
today.
sour n OMAHA NEWS.
Property owners living In the vicinity o
Thirteenth and O streets are very anxious
to have O street , from Thirteenth to Seven
teenth , graded In order to give a western
outlet. A petition requesting the city coun
cil to create a grading district and let the
contract for the work has been signed by the
necessary majority , but the question ot
building a culvert across 0 street , near
Seventeenth street , has put a temporary stop
to the proceedings. City Engineer Deal esti
mates that a four-loot culvert will be ncedc <
to carry oft the storm water and this wll
have to be 400 leet In length. The engineer
estimates the cost of thli ; culvert at $1COO
As the city has no money for the payment o
this work at the present time , It has been
suggested that the icost of building this drain
be taxed against the grading district. Sev
eral of the property owners are willing tha
this should bo done , 'but ' In case the attcmp
is made an entirely new petition will have to
Tic prepared. This will take considerable
tlmo , as some of the property owners are
non-residents , and thcro will necessarily
have to bo considerable correspondence
Councilman Tralnor Is of the opinion tha
the city shouM pay a portion of the cost o
the culvert , on account ot it being in the
nature of an Improvement to a street. Mayo
Ensor does not follow this view , but thinks
that if the property owners at Thirteenth am
0 streets desire to have the street openec
they should , under existing circumstances
pay the entire cost. Dr. W. S , White nm
others are taking hold of the proposition
again and may successfully carry out th
project of opening O street. This portion
of the city Is being built up quite rapidly and
It is asserted that residents should not be
compelled to go clear around by .Mlssour
avenue In order to reach their homes.

$4,000. At the tlmo the franchise was grantee
to the gas company a bond was execute *
holding the city blameless for any accident
which might occur during the laying o

LONDON , Aujr. 9. Parliament -was pro-
OEUed at 2 o'clock this afternoon by royal
ommlsslon. The House of Lords met and
ummoncd the Commons to the bar and the
irocccdlngs terminated with the reading of
ho queen's speech.
The queen's speech contained the following
tatomcnts :
"My Lords nnd Gentlemen : My relations
vlth the other powers continue friendly.
"Tho conference summoned by the em
peror of Russia to consider measures for
> romotlng the maintenance of pence has
ompleted Its sittings. Although the result
of Its deliberations did not fully correspond
vlth the lofty alms which It was summoned
o accomplish , It has met with a consider
able measure of success. The Institution of
a permanent tribunal of arbitration cannot
all to diminish the frequency of war , while
he extension of the Geneva convention will
mitigate Its horrors. "
After n. reference to the conclusion of the
Vnclo-French convention on .the subject of
ho Nile valley nnd the Anglo-Russian con
vention In retard to railway enterprises In
China , the speech continued :
"Wo have received a petition from a con
siderable number of my subjects residing
n the South African republic praylnc my
assistance to obtain a removal of grievances
and disabilities of which they complain.
The position of my subjects In the South
African republic is Inconsistent with the
promise ot equal treatment whereon my
; rant of Internal Independence to that re
public was founded and the unrest caused
.hereby Is n constant source ot danger to
the peace and prosperity of my dominions
In South Africa. Negotiations on this sub
ject with the government ot the South Af
rican republic have been entered Into and
arc still proceeding. "
Another paragraph deals wlin tne satisiac-
tory reports of the recovery of the agricul
ture and trade of India from the depression
caused by the famine , but It adds fears are
now entertained for the prospects ot the
harvest In western and central India , owing
to the Insufllclont rainfall , though the offi
cials nro taking timely precautions to meet
any scarcity.
The speech then reads :
"I regret to add that plague , though stll
confined tc the total of 1D9 areas affected
during the winter , shows no signs of abate
ment. "
The speech thanks the Commons for the
liberality with which they have provided
for the naval and military defense of the
empire and concludes with references to the
benefits which may be expected from domes
tic legislation passed.

LONDON , Aug. 9. W. H. Perot and his
counsel , Mr. Newton Crane , were in consul
tation with the United States ambassador
Jceph H. Choate , this morning. Olr. Pero
tells a representative of the Associated Pros
that counsel for Mrs. W. II. Perot , charged
with abducting her daughter Gladys from
Baltimore , had proposed to him to consen
to the withdrawal ot the extradition pro
ccodings , In which case the mother would
hand over Gladys to Mr. Perot , nnd It wa
to discuss the possibility of such an arrange
mcnt that he visited Mr. Choate , ae the pro
posal is entirely satisfactory to Mr. Perot
But the ambassador said he had applied fo
Mrs. Perot's extradition , In accordance will
orders from Washington and ho had no
power to withdraw the proceedings wlthou
instructions , as the extradition proceedings
were instituted with the view of punishing
Mrs. Perot for an lllcga ) act. Mr. Pero
added that the writ of habeas corpus granted
to Mr. Crane yesterday had not yet been
served , as Mrs. Perot Is in hiding. She let
her former residence when she -heard the
writ had been issued. It will be served a
the latest tomorrow , when she appears on
remand at the Bow street police court.
