CmcAao, Sept. ls.-After travelling
something over fully forty thousand
miles ohicago's European commission
OF Worlds Fair officials arrived in the
city this afternoon on the Baltimore &
Ohio road, accompanied by Sir Henry
7. Wood, secretary of the royal English
commission, Herr Weymath, Germans
commissioner, and James Dredge, OF the
British commission.
A commission committee, consisting
OF President Baker, OF the local direc-
tory, and directors, went out on q
special and met the party at Miller's
Junction. On their arrival they were
quickly driven to the Auditorium hotel
and repaired to their apartments, where
they rested several hours. This even
ing Director Ferd W. Peck entertained
them at dinner.
The foreigners express themselves as
well satisfied with tho reception OK
tended to them in this country. Mr..
Dredge SAID that it was fur more than
thew had expected, and that nothing
had been omitted that would have
added in the least to their comfort.
The object OF the visit Of these gen.
tlemen to Chicago is to inform them
selves on all tho details OF the exposl-
ton Of interest to exhibitors, and to re-
port back what they find. They will
hold conferences every day with the ex.
position officials. They will be joined
in their conferences by the
French consul who will con.
duct the French interests until
the regular commissioner is appointed.
The Russian commissioner is already
appointed and expected to sail with the
rest of the party, butcould not complete
his arrangements. He will come to
Chicago in January with the Austro-
Hungarian representative. 1t is the
intention Of the foreign commissioners
to remain in the city ten days or two
weeks. During that time they will be
the guests of the Exposition officials who
will entertain them in all possible ways,

C. Dun's Weekly Review.

New York, Sept. ls.-R. G. Dun 6
Co.'s weekly review OF trade: The hot
weather at the West is worth to tho
country many millions every day. With
money coming for stocks and bonds, as
well as for wheat and cotton, and with
liquidation OF farming Indebtedness,
the prospects for business this full are
unusually bright.
Improvement is seen in nearly all the
cities from which reports are received
this week. AT Boston trade is enlarging,
At Philadelphia trade is active, and tho,
iron market is stronger. At Cleveland
trade is nearly all increasing, and at
Cincinnati the shoe business is especial
ly active. At Chicago, some decrease
in receipts of,lard, butter and wool COM
pared with last year is reported for the
week, but increase in flour, barley,
cured meats, cheese, hides, and gain
OF 1c in oats, while receipts OF rye and
wheat are six times those Of last,
1t is especially noteworthy that coll
lections are improving at almost all
points and that the money markets arc
on the whole comparatively easy, all
though the crops to be moved are enor-
NOUS and the actual movement unprece-
dented. Wheat receipts at the west
for three days Of the week have aver
aged more than 81 100000 bushels daily,
and though exports are only about
half as large, the foreign demand SUI
fees to strengthen the price, which has
risen two cents in the past week on
sales of only about 10000, 600 bushels.
Corn has declined rapidly, as the fear
OF harm from frost vanishes, and Is
eight and one-half cents lower than q
year ago, while oats aretwoand one-halt
cents lower. Lard and hogs have de-
clined with corn, but mess pork Is held
by speculation. Cotton has also de-
clined three-sixteenth cents. Cotiee
has declined three-quarters of a cent,
while oil has advanced two cents.
is surprising fact that, notwith-
standingthe output OF pig iron is almost
equal to the largest ever known, the
price grows moro steady and stiff, and
decidedly better tone is observed in
all the important markets.
An awakeningis seen in the boot and
shoe business, although shipments are
not at present equal to those OF last year,
but the manufacturers have more satis-
factory orders and the feeling is more
confident. The woolen manufacture is
doingremarkably well in some branches,
particularly in worsted and dress goods,
and the demand for dress goods notably
exceeds the present supply.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number $50, as compared
with total Of 214 last week. For the
corresponding week Of last year the
figures are 100.

EXCITED BOOMERS
On Receipt Of the News that the
ceded Indian Lands
WILL Be OPEN FOR SETTLEMENT
Next Tuesday---Thousands of People
in Camp Waiting for the Signal,
When Grand Rush Will be Made.
There may be Trouble, Because the
Treaty stlpalatcs that Only White
Settlers will be Admitted.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 1s.-The long
delayed news from Washington an
nouncing the opening OF the ceded In
dian lands for next Tuesday was re-
ceived here this morning and caused
intense excitment. Now will come q
rush Of home.seekers almost as great as
that which followed the opening of Ok
lahoma Territory, and many of the
stirring scenes incident to that inter
esting event will be repeated. The
ceded reservation comprises almost as
much territory as Oklahoma proper.
The land lies directly east of Oklahoma.
The two regions are separated by the
Indian meridian line, The north fork
of tho Canadian river runs directly
through the new country.
Thousands OF people have been camp
cd on the meridian line for days. Hum
dreds OF camp fires have been burning
around Oklahoma City and Guthrie for
weeks, and the streets have been block
ed with every conceivable kind OF vehi-
Gle, all ready to start for the promised
land on receipt OF word from Washing
ton.
Companies A and D, of Thirteenth
infantry, and troop OF the Fifth cav.
airy are in the new territory driving
out the boomers and assisting in main
tanning order.
The oklahomn and Guthrie business
houses will be sadly crippled by tho
great exodus from these two cities that
is now taking place.
Many OF the merchants are closing
their stores and joining in the general
rush.
The re ceipt of the newsi from Wash
ington was the signal for the exodus to
commence. The news spread rapidly.
Everybody is now making the best pos.
sible time in getting in the line to join
the crowd that is already waiting for
next Tuesday. The new country is
well watered and well timbered. 1t
was very desirable for homes.
The Indian villages on the ceded res
ervations are now almost deserted. The
Indians do not object seriously to tho
occupation OF the lands by the whites,
but they hate the negro. In tho treaty
with the Sac and Fox Indians the
words "open to white settlement" oc-
cur. These words arc apt TO cause
some trouble. The Indians say that
they will insist on their stipulation and
will not permit negroes to take lands in
their country.

it had but n few weeks previously assist
ed in creating and promulgating,

glad to welcome the return ofthe Amer
lean Association as party to a national
agreement in the same manner us they
withdrew therefrom, namely, by notice
to the national board.

Association become q party to the
national agreement that all proposed

EGAN vlND1oATED.
Admiral Mccain Exonerates Him from
the Charges Against Him.


WAsurNoToN, D. G., Sept, 1s.-Admi-
ral McCann, who commanded the
United States squadron In Chilean
waters during the late war, comes to the
defense OF Minister Egan in the follow
ing statement published by the Po& this
morning:
ain recently published letter it was
intimated that our Minister Patrick
Egan was willing to stand passively by
and see the Balmaceda government
slaughter certain members OF the con-
gressioRal party who had been impris-
oned by Balmaceda. Immediately after
the bomb throwing episode the Minis
ter OF Foreign Affairs made dire threats
as to what should be done with the Con-
gressionalists. He spoke of having
them shot within twenty.four hours.
Mr.. Egan, SO far from sympathizing
with this view as is asserted, con-
currently with the French and
Brazilian ministers, addressed a
positive letter to Balmaceda
opposing such action toward the cap
tives, and telling him plainly that their
respective governments would be called
on 10 interfere if there was any attempt
ut carrying out the minister's threats.
That very night / got word from Mr..
Eagan to be in readiness to transport
Mr., Montt and four OF his associates
from the country at an early hour next
morning. Immediately ordered Cap
tain schley, OF the Baltimore, then at
Valparaiso, to prepare to take the party
to Callao, SO that they could get out OF
the country. Balmaceda in the mean.
time got scared ut Mr., Egan's note and
an interview assured the latter that
protection would be extended. So it
was not necessary to take them aboard
the Baltimore, though every prepara-
tion therefor had been made. Mr..
Egan was fiercely assailed by the
newspapers OF the victorious party,
though it was through his intervention
that great leniency had been exercised
by Balmaceda. His conduct has not
been understood Alright even in this
country, but l want to say that all his
actions have been those Of a clear
headed diplomat and an honorable man.
Right here, / will take on myself the
blame for some censure that fell on Mr..
Egan. He wrote me con1dentially that
the Balmaceda Government seemed too
strong to be disturbed. Iquoted little
too fully from that letter in commun-
ication to the leaders OF the opposing
forces. The letter made plain in blunt
criticism was directed against our min
lister. have just communicated to Sec
retary Tracy the true story OF that Incl
dent which fully exonerates Mr.. Egan.
He has been SO uniustly assailed by Mr..
Foster that am glad OF an opportunity
OF speaking word in his defense"

them for conspicuous personal gallantry
in the assault, and soon afterwards
bronze medals were presented to them
by our national Congress. One Of these
three was that brave and fearless sol
dier, Lieut.. Mont. Curtis, now deceased,
o son OF General Curtis.
For the part he took, the eagles uFo ON
Colonel Curtis shoulders were replaced
by the generals stars by the President
OF the United States. The official record
in the War Department OF the promo
tion reads, "for gallant service. in the
capture Of Fort Gregg, Virginia"
The regiment was presented with a
bronze eagle for its conduct. It bears
the inscription:
West Virginia Volunteer Infantry, by
their corps commander, General John
Gibbon, for gallant conduct in the as
sault upon Fort Gregg, near Petersburg,
Va, April 2, 1861"
Richmond was Immediately eyacu-
ated when this fort surrendered. Gem
eral Curtis was afterward elected o
member OF the Legislature, and render
ed important civil services to the State,
and has continually held positions OF
honor and importance bestowed by his
comrades in the g. A. r.
Ills PERSONAL WORTH.
Owing to declining health he had for
some years lived in retirement before
his death on the 25th of last August at
bis homo in West Liberty, at which
time he was one of our vice presidents.
Our deceased comrade was a modest
man, but we have no reason to be mod
est in speaking OF him.
1t was the fortune OF your speaker TO
sleep in the same blankets with General
Custer for two years and half during
his service, being his adjutant, and he
was the most indulgent, considerate
and generous OF men, manly and Chris
tian in all his character.
He had the rare faculty OF attaching
those he led to himself in unwaverinG
confidence, and that enthusiastic, atfec-
tomato personal regard without which
no military captain OF any degree can
be a success.
Like the Old Commander who re-
ceived the sword OF Lee at Appomattox
he was level-headed, and never lost his
head in the hour OF danger; had full
possession OF his faculties and capabili-
ties in the hour Of battle as well as on
dress-parade.
In time Of peace he was a man of
peace. When war came he became n
soldier. When peace returned again,
he returned to the paths of peace. He
was splendid type OF the citizen-sol-
der. At the end of his "three score
years and ten" he leaves memory
which will be revered, honored and
cherishedby his comrades, and perpetu-
ated in the history OF u grateful country.
