The subject of representation at
the Trans Mississippi Exposition to
be held in Omaha between June LIST, =,
and Nov, 1, 1898, is receiving some
notice among many Western and South
ern States. OF course representation
at the Exposition means an appro-
priation by the legislature for that
purpose. We believe in advertising
and letting tho world know some
thing Of the resources of Nevada,
and no doubt the State would reap a
rich reward from proper represen-
tation at the Exposition. But if an
appropriation cannot be made suffi-
siently large to enable Nevada to be
shown up as she should be, then rep
fessntation should not be attempted.
According to the report of the ASS
sssors of tho State of Nevada, the ass
ssssd valuation of property in 1891
was $50, $40, 438 SO; in 1896 is was
1913, log. 134 90. The same reports
show that the assessed valuation of
real property was IL ,346, 1913 IS
greater in 1896 than in 1895 and that
the assessed valuation of personal
property was 1,795,781 q less in
1896 than in 1895. Whether this
means that wealthy individuals and
great corporations fail to give in the
real value of their personal property,
or whether it simply shows the rate
at which personal property is destroy
cd or renewed from the State or both,
10 question which we have not yet
determined, but We do know that If
the above s'atsmsnt proves anything,
It shows that the burden of taxation is

His Successor Sails for the Is
land Today.
SAGASTA SCOLDS HIM.
Much Displeased at the Demon
stratiOns in Cuba
Which Are Shown to Have Been
Instigated by the Old Man
For the Purpose of Holding on
to His Place.

Madrid, Oct. .11.-Gen. .Weyleris ordered
to return by the first steamer to Spain,
leaving his command in charge of the
next in authority. So anxious is the
Queen for the Inauguration of the new
regime in Cuba that General Blanco
will leave Madrid for Havana today by
the steamer Isla de Panay, which was
to have sailed from Cadiz on Sunday.
The steamer has been ordered held up
until Blanco can embark.
The order recalling Weyler was ap-
proved at a meeting of the cabinet
council, and it was decided to appoint
BlancO to the Cuban command without
a dissenting vote.
General Rivera, Captain General of
the Philippine Islands, has resigned.
1t is said that Martinez Campos may
succeed him.
Captain General WeyIer cabled to
Premier Sagasta today that the demon
stratiOns in his honor in Havana were
organized without his knowledge and
against his wish. Weyler's determine
ton to argue. the point by cable irritat-
ed SagaSta who sent the following
message in reply:
4 deplore the faAt that you did not
prevent the demonstration which you
report, and which might cause bad
impression here and abroad.
Some kilograms contribute to you
words which 1 hope you have not ut
tered, and which, in any case, it is con-
Ven1ent to 01Scld1m. nope you VIII
in future prevent all such demOnstra-
tiOns."
The government has learned that the
Havana demonstrations were organized
by WeyIer's agents and army contract
ors. 1t has been shown that cable
grams sent to Sagasta and bearing the
signatures of prominent merchants,
volunteers and corporations were pre-
pared by emissaries of the Captain
General. In some cases the contract
ors assumed the responsibility of sign
ing the names of the corporations to
which they belong, and which, in most
cases, are known to be violently hos
tile to Weyler.
FL HeraldO makes the announcement
that the Captain General of Porto Rico
will be appointed Acting Governor of
Cuba pending the arrival of Marshal
BIancO.
Captain General Weyler has cabled
the following statement to the govern
ment:
The principles which constitute my
character, as well as my well-knOwn
military history, are strong guarantees
that L have never created, nor will I
ever create, any difficulties for the con
stituted government, be that what it
may.
L have always been, and in every
case shall ever be, the first man to ac-
cept, respect, obey and enforce the
governments orders. I Will not allow
any demonstration to go beyond the
expression of personal effection and the
approval OF my policy.

OTTENDORFER FOR Low.
New York Stats Zietung Supports
Citizens Union Candidate.

New York, Oct. 11.-Oswald OttendOr-
fer, editor and proprietor OF the Stats
Zeitung has returned from Europe
and the Staats Zeitung says editOrially:
Mr. Low and the other candidates on
his ticket present themselves to the vo-
ters absolutely free from any political
or personal obligations. They are only
bound by their promise to give the city
a good clean, liberal administra ton.
Under these circumstances the New
York Staats Zeitung cannot do better
than advise its readers to support the
Low ticket, in delivering this city from
the influence of certain politicians
which has proved often to be pernicious
and ruinOuS.
only with d sense of horror can we
imagine what would become of this gil
gantic city if a Croker or a Platt were
allowed full sway. The immensity Of
this danger can only be removed by the
victory of the Low ticket. From a
Democratic or Republican victory only
the worst disaster is to be expected and
pessimistic views concerning the fU-
ture of our institutions would become
more and more prevalent

ing from the fore peak. Then their
smokestacks show no painted device by
which they can be distinguished. The
tunnels are uniformly black, cream col
ored or dull red.
You need not be deeply versed in sea
lore to know at once that these are
tramp steamships of the
ocean who do the odd jobs in the bust
ness of transporting the world 8 sup
plies. For months past they have been
fastening to US from all the ports of
all the world" " 1t is our big wheat crop
which has attracted them. We have
something like 2OO 900, 900 bushels of
wheat to be sent across the water, and
many Plimson mark will be wet be-
fore the work is done. Shipping men
say that it is a sure sign of prosperity
to see the ocean tramps come into port,
for they seek cargoes only where trade
is brisk
Many of them are no strangers to our
ports, but some are paying their first
call. They come from the Black sea,
from ports on the Indian ocean, from
the west coast of Africa, from the Red
sea and from the La Plata. For all
of them cargoes are waiting In the big
elevators that line the wharfs in New
York, Norfolk, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, New Orleans and Galveston are
mountains of yellow grain on which the
owners are heartily sick Of paying stOr-
age charges. So the tramp steamers are
welcome
Those which have but recently arrived
come to US from the far corners of the
earth. Their deck seams have been
opened by equatorial heat and they may
have had their stacks painted last in
Yafa or Hongkong. Their most recent
cargoes may have been frozen fish up
the Baltic or figs and dates from Per-
sian seaport, but the news of our great
cereal surplus has reached them, and,
like human tramps when peaches or
hops are ripe, they come to get a share
of profit from the harvest.
The ocean tramp is a most interesting
craft. The big passenger liners and
freight boats which come and go with
the regularity of express trains have not
half so much romance about them We
know exactly when and where they go
and almost the hour they will return.
They travel over the same watery high
way with all the precision Of factory
hands-dull plodders with never a tale
to tell
ends of the earth and back again. The
captain may receive his sailing orders
from naked Malay or a fur clad Rus
sian. He may not tie up at the home
port for years on a stretch and he may
be ordered back at his next stopping
place. 1t is a delightfully."- uncertain life
and has its attraction for a certain class
of hardy mariners. If you will notice
the wharfs, you will see that three
fourths of the tramp steamers fly the
British flag. Over the taffrails of few
hang the German tricolor, more of them
float the Norwegian flag and some of
them display the red and yellow flag of
Spain or the red, white and green de-
sign which denotes an Italian merchant
man.
It is these tramp steamships which
make up the bulk of Englands S mer-
chant marine and which give her su-
premacy on the seas. There are many

MILWAUKEE FALLS IN.
Semi Centennial of Wisconsin to Be
Marked by a Great Carnival
Next Year,

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct IA commit
tee OF the leading business men of the
city have determined to celebrate the
semi of the admission Of
Wisconsin to the sisterhoOd of states
by a grand pageant and a weeks car
niva1 during the summer of 1898. 1t
was decided to recommend to a finance
committee to raise fund of $3.50 600 to
meet the expenses of the carnival.
It is proposed to get up celebration
which will rival the pageants of the
yelled prophets at st. Louis and the
New Orleans mardi gras and to make it
an annual event in the life of the city.
It is proposed to have a pageant next
year, with numerous magnificent floats
representing the principal events in
the history of the development OF Wis
consin and the northwest territory.
Besides this it proposes to arrange a
number of sham battles, in which the
National Guard and United States reg
ulars will participate, and to have the
greatest water carnival which has ev-
er been witnessed on the lakes.
The Topeka state journal., 1897-10-11

to be, but most of them came in in bal
: last. Freight agents were waiting for
them, however, and none of them sad
to hunt long for a load. They go out
Liverpool bound and loaded to the rail,
and they will come back for another
cargo just as soon as possible.
The ocean tramp exhibits none of the
frills of the regular liner. There is no
polished brass or vanished bright work
about her. 1t is more than likely that
she may need a coat Of paint so badly
that her iron sides are streaked with
rust, but she is ready for business. Her
engines are not of thee most improved
pattern. In fact, they may be rather
''roclzy.'' The propeller shaft may be
wabbly in the thrust block, the boilers
wheezy and the feed pipes leaky, but
down in the engine room you will find
q canny Scot who is a born mechanic
and who can make the old craft jog
along week after week at nine or ten
knots an hour and not burn more than
10 or 20 tons of coal a day either.
About all the builders are urged to
do, when they are given an order for a
tramp, is to make a ship that will be
cheap and will have a large carrying
capacity. Most of them are built on the
east coast of England, where the con-
struction of iron ships has reached a fine
art. Few Of the older tramp steamers are
larger than 1900 tons, but the newer
ones are bigger. They range in capacity
from 2, 500 to 4, 900 tons.
The crew of the tramp steamer is apt
to be a most motley crowd. The officers
are generally from the country whose
flag she flies, but the ten or a dozen
men in the forward cabin may represent
as many nationalities- The cook is per-
haps a Chinese, one of the stoI1ers a
Malay, an oiler may be a Portuguese.
and so on The Norwegian captains
generally ship a crew of their own
countrymen, and they have the reputa-
ton of treating their men better than
any other masters. The wages are poor
at best and the fare is none too good,
but the men who ship in tramps of the
sea generally sign articles, not from
choice, but because they can get moth
ing better. SEwELL FORD.

GIRLS IN THE ARMY.
The New Woman Seems to Be in
it in Georgia.

Atlanta, Oct 1.-THE Georgia militia
may yet have a company of pretty
young women soldiers and if it does
they will be one of the best drilled or
ganizations in the state.
Fosters Light Infantry, the cOmpa-
ny of young ladies which will drill at
the Grand Opera House tonight for the
benefit of the Grady hospital. under the
auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
will be made a permanent organization.
1t will be as thoroughly a business or
ganizatiOn as any male company in the
state.
The company was organized for the
purpose of drilling in the entertainment
to be given for the benefit of the Grady
hospital. A number of pretty young
women were selected to be the soldiers
and for the past few months they have
been drilled and marched by Sergeant
w. J. Foster of the Capital City
Guards.
The young ladies who compose this
company are very greatly pleased with
the idea of being soldiers, and Sergeant
few weeks apply for charter for a
military organization to be composed
of young ladies and to be known as
Fosters Light Infantry.
When the entertainment is over the
drills will be continued. The strength
of the company will be increased and
two buglers WILDE added. There are
at present about &c young ladies in the
company and they will be increased to
60.
The present white uniforms and white
caps viii be used by the company for
summer wear. but a uniform of blue
trimmed in white with blue caps will be
adopted for winter wear
This company is probably the first
young lady military organization of the
kind in the United States.
