VISITING THE EXPOSITION.
Editorial Excursion Had . Pleasant
Trim.

|
The editorial excursion which wen
to Omaha two weeks ago had a de-
lightful trip. The start was from
Concordia over the ever-popular Mis-
souri, Pacific with C. E. Styles as
chapercne. There was a stop with
courteous treatment at Atchison and
the next morning the party was at
Omaha.
Omaha is great city. Situated
almost in thesgeographical center Of
the United States, it is the gateway
to the western half Of the continent,
its progress has been most remark
able, and in the strength of a growth
rapid yet strong, it promises to sur
pass in the future the achievements
Of the past. The Trans-Mississippi,
and International Exposition is the
full name, and the Expo" is fully
big enough to fit the name. 1t is
truly both trans-Mississippi and inter-
national; the states are well repre-
sented, not only those west Of the
Mississippi, but those east also.
In the history of expositions the
Omaha exposition will stand unrivaled
save for one-the Worlds Fair OF
1898.
No expense, no labor, has been
spared to make this the greatest ex-
hibition of the arts, manufactures and
products Of the West that has ever
been given. The exposition opened
on the first Of June, and until Novem.
Der the States OF the American union
and the leading European nations will
endeavor each to Guido the Others in
presenting and demonstrating its
claims to superiority.
And the exhibits are of the highest
character, the enthusiasm provoked
is such that no effort is spared, no
economy observed in their arrange
ment and maintenance.
The visit Of the editorial party was
made particularly pleasant by the
Kindness OF z. W. Richardson Of the
department Of publicity and promo
ton who made speech to the party |
and presented badges and tickets Of
admission.
The Exposition grounds are located
in the north Of the city, and the
beautiful sight which met us on our
first visit more than realized our ex.
pectations. The State buildings pre-
sent fine appearance and each one is
credit to the State they represent.
No attempt at an exhibit is made in
any Of them except Georgia, where
there is creditable one. Each one
has handsomely furnished parlors,
registering offices and toilet rooms,
simply luxurious resting places for
the weary traveller.
The exhibits in the main buildings,
while not so large as at the Worlds
Fair, are magnificent display. The
finest structure is the Government
building which closes one end of the
lagoon on the sides of which most of
the buildings stand. The show is
well worth seeing and all were sorry
when the time came to start home.
A voteof thanks was extended to
H. c. Townsend, general passenger
agent of the Missouri Pacific, for his
generous treatment of the party.
Go to Omaha-by all means go
and you will never regret it. And
when you 60, be sure you make the
right start and take the Missouri
Pacific railway. Their train service,
their equipment, their time, their
punctuality, have made the name

COST OF DEwEYs VICTORY.
Weight and Expense of the Iron Hail
Which Demolished ;Montejo.


War is an expensive luxury at best, but
under modern conditions it is possible the
most costly thing known. Sea fights
exceed in cost those on land largely be-
cause of the cost of serving the enor-
nous guns in the main batteries Of war
ships. Dewey's victory in the bay Of Ma
Mia is a fair example of what it costs to
fight a naval battle. If the entire num-
Der Of big guns in his fleet had been fired
at once the cost Of each discharge would
be Sc Allowing the guns two shots
a minute, a rapidity which the the big
gest could easily show. it cost the gov
eminent something like $20S.000 to win
that fight.
The cost estimated on the foregoing
paragraph is merely the cost of the pro-
jectiles hurled and the powder used to
hurl them. 1t does not include the dam
age to the ships, if any were received,
nor the fuel expended in maneuvering
the fleet 1t is the expense Of the shots
themselves. There were two engagements
in the fight. lasting respectively two and
one-half hours and two hours and forty
minues. During every minute OF this
time some 1000 men were firing shots
costing from 81 to 500 apiece. 1t is es-
timated that during this engagement Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet fired from its larger
guns about $500 shots. This does not
include the shots fired by the small rapid
fire and Calling guns, which were used
only once during the engagement.

shot him i'll cold blood without trial
as conspirator
After the war Captain Amabile again
enlisted in the service of Spain and
was made secretary to Captain General
I'endergast in Havana, and remained
in that city until 1885, when he was ac-
cused of conspiracy and arrested. Up
on trial he was condemned to death,
but owing to his former service in the
Spanish navy he was granted a rev
trial. This time he was banished from
Cuba and to remain in exile for life.
He then renowned Spanish sovereign
ty and came to New York and became
a naturalized American. Later he
went to Paris.
Captain Amabile volunteered his SER
vices to Cuba at the outbreak of the
war. and was authorized to remain in
Paris to advocate the cause of the is
land in that capital, and was the &C
credited representative of Cuba in
France. When the war between the
United States and Spain began ne
made arrangements to come to Amer
lea and enlist in the cause. He brought
with him letters from all the promi-
nent politicians in France and from
the American Observation-Disclosures
Star.

COMMISSION FOR A sPANIARD.
Captain Amabile May Go With the
Troops to Cuba.

The first and probably the only for
mer Spanish officer to be given a COM
mand in either the United States army
or navy is Captain Mestre Amabile
who will probably be commissioned on
one of the vessels which will convoy
the American troops to Cuba.
When the civil war broke out in this
country he was commissioned by Spain
as a naval atache to this country to
observe the naval operations and view
the progress of the war. He remained
in the south, watching the military and
naval movements until the close of the
war.
He was then commissioned as chief
surveyor of the department of the is
land of Cuba, and Immediately began
the difficult task of making new sur
vey of the island of Cuba, the first that
had been made for more than fifty
years. He was compelled to go on foot
along most of the coast, so that every
inch of the ground is familiar to him,
and this knowledge will serve him well
in directing the landing and operation
of the American troops on the 1slanu.
When the ten years war broke out
in Cuba he rendered his resignation to
the secretary of the navy of Spain as
a captain in that service and enllsteu
in the service of Cuba. The president
of the Cuban republic made him com
mander of the boats which onstltuted
the Cuban navy. During the war MS
younger brother was captured anu

REGULAR VS.. VOLUNTEER.
Between Them There Is No Mastering
of Volunteers.

The Pick and Drill of Prescott very
aptly says:
''All this rot relative to the compe-
tency or incompetency to command.
or the rank and file to perform prop
erly the duties of soldier is, to say
the least, extremely nauseating. The
national guard, drilled ard disciplined,
are just as good as are the regulars;
neither have been under fire. AS to
the ability of Governor McCord to
command a regiment cold Soldier
to the contrary Notwithstanding we
can see no difference between McCord
commanding regiment and that of
Otis, of the Los Angeles Times, COM
handing a brigade; or Roosevelt a
regiment; or Fred Grant brigade; or
of dozens of others-not one of whom
is a whit better qualified than is Myron
H. McCord. What makes us partlcu-
larly tired is the attempt made by
many to construct an imaginary great
big chasm between the militia and the
regulars. None of the officers of the
regular service, with the exception of
those now past so years of age, ever
saw actual war service any more than
have the same grade in the militia.
And in the matter of rank and file,
a militiaman is just as much of vet
eran, and has seen just as much real
war service as have the men in the

In regard to this territory is said: by
far the, most interesting and remark
able display in the mining building is
the exhibit from Arizona. That has
been given the place of honor. 1t con-

the copper minerals from the Copper
Queen mine, Bisbee, A. T., particularly
fazurite and malachite. This collection
was made with a view to the Paris ex-
position as well as Omaha. For this
exhibit four large show cases were
sent that were used by the same COM

for his idea of showing his exhibit
properly and he sent to Washington

AS TO GILSONITE-

Deposits OF bitumen and other hydro
carbons have been at various times
reported discovered in Montana, but so
far as known they have upon investi-
CATION proven to be drift OF float"
rock. Such masses occur near Column
bia Falls, in Flathead county. Pros
pectors will do well to look carefully
for deposits of such mineral as they
are extremely valuable properties. The
most valuable minerals are gilsonite
and wurtzilite. 'n--ie
Gilsonite is a valuable hydrocarbon
that looks much like bright friabfe
bitumenous coal. 1t has a brown
streak, soils the fingers, is light N
weight, burns readily, and is soluble in
kerosene 1t is brittle and about as
hard as coal. It differs materially
from other hydrocarbon found in Utah
known as wurtzlllte. Gilsonite occurs
in well defined assure veins. The larg-
est is situated in the UncOmpahgn In
dian reservation, and the terms and
conditions upon which the vein will
be thrown open to location and devel-
opment are still to be settled by con-
gress AS the mineral occurs in veins
its development possesses some OF the
features of coal mining and some OF
the risks of vein mining.
The mineral is worth about $40 per
ton at Omaha, and as it is easily mined
the vein is seen to be wonderful
source of wealth. But one great vein
is known, but it is from four feet to
eleven feet wide, and at least seven
miles long. From a prominent knoll
that rests above the open plateau level.
the vein may be seen extending in both
fro q
White river eastward to the Colorado
line. A careful examination of the
region was made last summer by Mr..
G. H. Eldridge for the government. He
estimates that there is an available
amount of at least 100000 tons. This
report is an interesting piece of applied
geology. Only the barest facts de-
rived from it can be given here. The
veins are vertical; they occur cutting
very slightly inclined beds of stratified
rocks, the shales and shady limestones
forming the cliffs and bluffs seen along
Green river from the car windows OF
the Union Pacific trains, rocks that are
of EOcene age. In the canyon walls
of White river, the gilsonite is seen to
end at a certain horizon, or bed, that
is, the big vein does not extend below
this bed, and though stringers do go
deeper they are not workable. The
facts show that the crack now filled
with the mineral gilsonite, is we'll de-
fined in the softer shaly beds, and is
merely a slight assure in the more
massive tenacious limestones beneath
the shales. As this limiting depth is
$500 feet below the surface at the
east end of the vein, the workable
ground is of great extent.
The mineral wurtzilite is hard.
shiny, does not soil the fingers, and is
not soluble in kerosene. or any of the
usual solvents. The mineral can be
cut with knife much like vulcanized
rubber, and is commonly called mineral
rubber. 1t is comparatively rare anc
occurs only in small veins, the total
amount available for working not ex-
ceeding 10000 tons. It is, however,
much more valuable than gilsonite.-

REWARD THE BRAVE.
How They Will. Be Placed in the Ma
val List.

Washington, June 9.-President Nc
Kinley has rewarded Dewey's captains
at Manila by advancing them from five
to ten numbers in their respective
grades.
Captain Frank Wildes, who COM
retaining his ship after his relief, Cap
tain Lamberton. reached Hong Kong,
is to be advanced five numbers. This
will place Captain Wildes about No. %
on the list, just below Captain Evans
and ahead of Captain Crowninshield
the chief of the bureau of navigation.
Captain Wildes will, in consequence,
secure his promotion to commodore
about year earlier than he otherwise
would
Captain Joseph B. Coghlan, who
commands the Raleigh, is to be adj
vanced six numbers, from No. 35 to
No. Is. Captain Joe" will thus go
ahead of Captain Clark, the Oregon s
commander.
Captain Charles V. Gridley was the
commanding officer of the flagship
Olympia at he battle of Manila bay
Gridley was to have been advanced
six numbers. This would have placed
him just below Coghlan on the list OF
captains. But his death occurred re-
Gently while on his way home. He
was ill long before he took h,5 Snip IN
to action at Manila, but would not go
home until his work was done.
Captain Nehemiah M. Dyer, who
commanded the Baltimore. is to be ad-
vanced seven numbers. His ship was
struck several times by the Spanish
shot and six of his men were wounded.
Admiral Dewey paid him the compli-
ment of letting the Baltimore lead the
way in the action, which began after
all hands had enjoyed their breakfast.
Dyer will go up from about No. 40 to
No. 80, alongside of Captain Clark.
Captain LambertOn Is 10 be advanc-
ed seven numbers He was at the
bottom of the list when the fight with
the Spaniards began; he now is No.
SO. Captain Lamberton will be re-
membered as the officer who command
ed the lighthouse tender that used to
take President Cleveland out on his
hunting and fishing trips.
Commander Asa Walker was the
captain of the Concord. He is to be
advanced nine numbers, from about
SO TO 80, which will insure him reach
ing the captains list a short year
sooner than he otherwise would. Walk
er is a mathematician of high order.
He has been head of the department OF
navigation at the naval academy, and
taught the cadets there on many OF
his shore tours of duty.
Commander Edward P. Wood has
the Petrol, the little gunboat that went
in close to the guns Of Cavite and felt
the way up to the burning, sinking
Spanish fleet. Wood is to be advanced
ten numbers, which will put him up
from rs to IS on the list of command
ers, and insure his reaching his cap
taincy a year and a half earlier thar
he would had he not been advanced.
