THE FIREWORKS.
The Show Was Good. But the DELAY wa
ENa>perating.

The SHOW Was Good. But the Delay was
ENa>perating.
Had it not been for the lateness in start
ing and the long, tiresome delays between
the firing OF of the various pieces, the ex-
hibition of pyrotechnics on the Capitol
grounds last night would have been an
immense success. As it was. however,
many people became exhausted, as well IS
disgUsted, at the dilatory manner in which
the programme was carried out, and left
for home before the exhibition was over.
Otherwise the show was all that could
be desired. The set pieces in particular
were msrvelously successful. and the i'm
mence audience showed its appreciation of
them by applauding heartily. The Ma
sonic, Odd Fellows and Native Sons
emolemS called forth much Commanda-
ton, as did also the working fire-engipe
and locomotive. The piece representing a
militlamen at target practice was unique
as well as pretty. The grand piece de re-
SJStGRcG which was reserved for the last,
represented California. The mountains
ana sun-burSt IN tie back ground were very
realistic. as were also the prospec;ors at
work in the hills.
The less said about the rockets the better
They were woeially deficient in every re-
spect and the customary "Ah - was con-
spicuous in its absence. The bombs, how
ever, which exploded thousands of colored
stars and showers of golden rain in mid
air. were good.
A. J. Gardner one of the members of
the Committee on Fireworks, SAYS that any
apparent delay in setting off the fireworks
was due wholly to the fact that but one
police officer was present to keep back the
crowd OF people, and about / 900 mischiey-
Gus boys, who crowded upon the works,
This kept the operators busy watching
their set pieces TO prevent their disarrange-
ment, and in driving back the crowd, and
thus some time was lost, and the
operators were much annoyed FL
nally Mr.. Gardner got several citi-
zens to organize a sort of improvised
police to aid in clearing space for the
workers. He says, however, that TWENTY
six pieces were set OIL, and many rockets
and bombs, and that they began at ex-
actly $50 and quit a. 945, which the
operators hold is not long time. and
such as is consumed everywhere for that
number of pieces. Yet they would have
been fired oil faster, TO satisfy the demand,
II the operators had had sufficient police
protection for their long base-line over
which the works extended.

Shortly after the conclusion of the morn
ing parade people began to throng into the
Agricultural Pavilion at Fifteenth and n
streets, where the literary exercises were TO
be held, and by half-past one o'clock many
thousands had gathered within lis spacious
walls. The mammoth building had been
handsomely decorated by VIM. Boyne with
banners, flags and patriotic emblems and
mOttoes, and presented q beautiful aud en-
llvening picture in its bright colored raj
ment. The stand in the center of the hall
was occupied by the officers of the dav,
members of the Committee on Literary
Exercises and ladies, while in front was
placed chairs for those who wished to hear
the exercises. On the north side of the
main ball were long tiers of seats rising to
a hight of fifteen feet, chiefly occupied Dv

with people of all ages.
The accommodations were excellent in

much credit therefor is due the committee

MILLS PLAN.
Democratic Safety Lies in Subscribing the
Silcott DefalcatiOn.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 13.-A small crowd of
Democratic members of the house was
clustered around Representative Mills. of
Texas, in the house this morning talking
over the effect of the Silcott defalcation on
the pary's chances in the next election.
Mr.. Mills was the chief spokesman and he
laid down vigorously his opinion that the
Democrats could not afford to re-appro-
pirate the lost money to reimburse them
selves. 1t would lose the party thirty Or
forty members in the next house, he said.
The best electioneering that the party
could do might be done right away on
the floor of the house. 1t might
be that the money was lost through no
fault of their own and that they thought
the government was responsible. but in
every close district the party would find
their opponents on the stump making
loud proclamations and crying that a
Democratic sergeant-at-arms had lost the
peoples money and that the Democrats
had voted to pay it back. The best way
out it was for the Democratic party leaders
and Leedom to go among their friends
and raise the money and turn it over to
the treasury to make good the deficit. He
was willing himself to give his November
salary towards this fund and he thought
the other Democrats would do the same
and in this way part of the moneymig hit

Falsehood Charged by the Govern
ment Representatives and all
Conference Closed.
The Official stenographer Accused Of
Falsely Reporting the Requests
Of the Indians
The Commission Returns to Washington
and viii Report to Congress Upon
Reconvening-The Full Bloods
Anxious to Sell at the
Governments Price.

KANSAS CITY. Dec, ia special from
Tahlequah. l. T.. says: The commission
has failed in its negotiations with the
Cherokees for sale of the Cherokee outlet
and will leave for Washington tomorrow.
The commission will prepare its report
during the holidays and submit it to con-
gress upon the reassembling OF
that body. The committee appointed
by the Cherokees met with the
commission last Monday and asked that
the latter request the government to per-
nit them to treat with the Indians under
that section of the law which allows them
to offer more than S125 per acre for the
land. Several trivial questions were also
asked. The lady stenographer OF the COM
mission reported the interview. When the
report was transcribed the commission re-
piled that the questions were trivial and
did not deserve answer. The Indians re-
piled that the stenographer's report of
the interview was incorrect and
han been falsified by the stenographer.
The commission made answer that that
charge was deliberate falsehood and no.
titled the Indians that all ne
gotiations were at an end so far as the
present commission was concerned. A
personal note was sent to each member of
the Indian committee charging each with
deliberate falsehood aud inform
ing each that the allegation
against the lady stenographer was
as contemplate as it was false. This cor
respondence has caused excitement. A
delegation of full bloods called on the
commission this evening and informed
them that the full bloods were unanimous
in their desire to sell the outlet at S1.25 per
n
