CHICAGO, June 8.--An unique pro-
grammee was observed today in opening
the Nebraska state building at the
worlds fair. The past and present we're
brought together, face to face. Tribes
Of Indians, whose ancestors had hunted
deer and buffalo on the wide prairies OF
the state, rubbed elbows with dis
tinguished citizens of that common
wealth, and the utmost good feeling pre-
vailed. Governor Lorenzo Crounse and
staff came to the fair in q carriage this
morning, and were met at the entrance
by Hon. William f. Cody aud his outfit
OF cowboys, Indians, soldiers and
Mexicans, representing Nebraska in
the early days, who escorted
the governor and party to
the state building. Incoming
trains for the past few days had been
loaded with Nebraska people and they
were at the building to meet Governor
Crounse and escort. Gen. Joseph Gar
mean, president of the state commission,
formally turned the building over 10 the
governor, who dedicated it to the public
in brief address. He was followed by
W. J. Bryan, member of congress-, ex-
Governor r. w. Furnass and others.
At the conclusion of these exercises,
Mrs. Caroline W. Brooks, the "butter
artist" nodded in butter the official
seal OF the state which will be put on
exhibition in the Nebraska dairy dis-
play in the agricultural building.

VIsALIA, CAL, June 8.-Last night
Sheriff Kay received information that
Evans and Sontag, the fugitive highway
men, were in town. He did not make
an attack, fearing repetition of the
last fasco. At 1915 today he received
what he considered reliable informa-
tion that the men were at Evans house.
A posse of 100 men was organized. The
house was surrounded and the sheriff,
accompanied by nephew OF Evans,
went to the house and the men were not
found. The home of Mrs. Byrd, Evans'
mother-in-law, was also visited, but the
desperadoes were not there. Sheriff
Kay was satisfied the bandits had left,
though he 10 confident they were there
last night, as his information is regarded
as reliable. The posse returned to town
at O'Clock this afternoon, all discour-
aged.
Many people believe the bandits arc

This evening Mrs. Evans and daughter
Eva called at the Hheriff's Office and got
32-caliber gun belonging to them.
Driving up Main street, they purchased
cartridges at gun store. The fact
caused excitement among the citizens.
After the majority of the men who
had surrounded Mrs. Byrd's house had
left, Mrs. Byrd found gun standing
against the fence. Picking it up, she
said "Will Smith brought this. will
let it CO."
Mya. Byrd's house has two stories.
All the doors and windows were open
when the sheriff waited it, except one
window up stairs, in which the curtains
were down. Kay did not enter the
house, but stepped on the porch and
talked. Mrs. Evans objected to bis en-
tering her house, but Kay was satisfied
from the tone Of the conversation and
the abandon Of the folks that the men
were not there.

PENSION REFORMS.

The Examining Boards OF Surgeons to
Be Reorganized.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-The question
OF recognizing the boards of pension ex-
amining surgeons throughout the coun-
try is Just now under consideration by
Secretary Hoke Smith, Commissioner
Lochren and Deputy Commissioner
Murphy. There are 1860 of these boards,
each containing three members, and
their work is very important factor in
the administration of the pension laws
and the adjudication of claims. The
officials of the department state that
careful examinations have revealed in
competence and gross careleesness in
the work of some of these boards,
and in some instances the evi-
dence indicates that improper in
huences have beon successfully applied
to secure reports in pension claims fav-
orable to applicants. In view of these
facts it has bsen decided to give this
branch OF the service general overhaul
ing While no formal plan OF reorgani-
zation has been announced. it is stated
that the purpose of Commissioner
Lochren, with the approval OF the secre-
tary, ia to appoint on these boards only
men who stand in the very front rank
in their respective localities, and men
who keep well abreast OF the times in
medical science. Another innexible
condition to appointment will be that
of unquestioned integrity. The politics
of applicants will not, it is said, be made
of first importance, although all others

COLUMBUS, o., June 8.--A sensational

duke of Veragua. The dahe's brother

suffered frightful agony, and the attack
seemed likely to result fatally, owing to
the terrific jam of spectators and the
inability of the authorities to force back
the people to give the nobleman air.
Bishop Watterson stood ready to admin
iHter the last sacrament. An electric
battery was brought into operation by
the physicians who had been sent for.
Under the operations of the doctors the
necessity for action by the bishop grad
ually disappeared. The attack was
probably brought on by the excitement
OF the day, the cheering and tumult in
the convention which nominated Nc
Kinley, and the remarkable sight of the
procession OF school children, which was
miles in length.
The Duke of Veragua arrived this
morning as the guest of the city, the
largest in the world named after his an
cestors. The hotels being crowded by
politicians they were entertained at the

militia. This afternoon the ducal party
reviewed parade of 1900 school chill
dren, and the duke was welcomed and
presented the keys OF the city. Tomor-
row the militia and civic societies will
parade.
While the duke and party were on the
reviewing stand, Marquis Barbados was
seized with an attack OF neuralgia of the
heart and was taken to hospital near
by. Hypodermic injections were ad-
ministered without effect. The patient
became violent; several men were re-
quired to hold him. A battery which
the marquis had with him was applied
several times, and the patient was soon
in condition to be removed. Two ply
sicians remained with him several hours
and he recovered rapidly, though he
will not be able to participate in the re-
naming exercises.

Immense Throngs Pay Homage to the
Spanish Princess.
CHICAGO, June 8.-No woman was ever
honored with a agrander greeting or more
cordial welcome than was accorded to
Maria Eulalia, the infanta OF Spain, upon
her arrival at the Worlds Columbian
exposition today. No less than 10000
people were on the grounds and thia
mighty host, representing every nation
and every people from the Arctic regions
to the equator, all did homage to the
little woman from Spain, and from the
time OF her arrival till she left the white
city this Democratic member of Spain's
royal house showed by her every
act that she fully appreciated
the honors ehowered upon Aner
and the grandeur Of the sight she
saw-the glittering white palaces, tenn
pies OF art and science, stored with the
wonders of human ingenuity, and the
wondrous size of these beautiful struc-
tures-wae such that from the time the
royal gueet entered the gates until she
arrived at the administration building,
her face wore the expression of one lost
in amazement.
The day was bright and beautiful.
The temperature was just right to be
out OF doors, and the worlds fair never
looked 80 beautiful as when visited by
Princess Eulalia this morning. That
she was astonished and delighted be-
yond measure by what she saw was
fully evinced in her demeanor through
out, and the undisguised keen interest
she took in everything she saw.
The princess and party were driven to
the fair over the beautiful boulevard,
escorted by the Chicago hussars. En-
tering the Midway Plaisance, that med
ley of all nations, she was received by
bsrbarians of every cline with the
homage peculiar to them aud with the
accompaniment of native music. En-
tering the fair proper, she was driven to
the administration building, where

to the woman's building and drove
among the great baiIdings of the fair,
returning later to the Palmer house.
She was at the grounds tonight and
witnessed the splendid illumination.
Tonight fully 200, 900 people were at
the grounds, the attraction being dual
the infanta and magnificent electrical
and pyrotechnic display.

facturss building will be opened tomor-

Mr.. Blanton Duncan:
DEAR SIR:-I have much pleasure in
acknowledging receipt OF your kind let
ler of the I'd inst, enclosing copy Of
your letter to the secretary OF state,
Hon. W. @. Gresham, in reference to
the Geary act, which you condemn as
unjust and inequitable. l appreciate
the kindness very much, more especially
the justice and friendship which you
and the majority OF your people desire
to show to the Chinese. By cablegram
lately received from my government, /
am instructed to protest strongly
against the enforcement of the act, and
adopt firm attitude in the adjustment
and settlement of the pending difficult
ties. However, am glad to be able to
say that the present administration is
not pushing matters to the extreme, but
still has regard for the maintenance of
mutual friendship, and is endeavoring
to observe the treaty stipulations of the
two nations. There is now no alterna-
tive left me but to wait for final develop
ments of the pending question.
Very respectfully,
TsUI Kwo YEN,

WASHINGTON, June 8.-During the
first three months of the present admin
istration, ended June Sd, the total num-
Der of fourth-class postmasters appointed
was 6537, of which 1872 were to fill va
cancies caused by designations and
death, and 1866 by removals. During
the corresponding period of Harrison'a
administration, the total number ap-
pointed was 1926, or 1885 more than
were appointed during the last three
months. OF these 1868 were to fill
vacancies caused by designations and
death, and 5567 by removals.
The appointments made on regig-
nations were therefore 2013 greater
during the first quarter of the
present administration than during the
last, and the number made on removals
was 1902 less during Cleveland's first
quarter, ss compared with Harrison's
