THE OMAHA EXPOSITION.
Successful From the Stnrt-Fire in
the Model Mine.

Omaha. June 20.-The trans Alississip-
pi fair is starting off with great eclat.
For the first few days-at a time when
it may be said to have not been the most
inviting-the attendance was two-thWds
of what it was at the Columbian fair.
The White City is spread out over mag
nificent distances. The amusements,
architectural splendor, displays ranging
from the sublime to the ridiculous, and
the liberal education set out before one
ewes in manufactures, liberal arts, the
sciences, mines, horticulture, transporta-
ton. agriculture, machinery and the fine
arts is revelation to a man who hears
only. but has not seen with his own eyes
the glories of an exposition OF an inter
national character.
The department of mines and mining
has about realized its original plans for
a complete representation OF western
mines. From far-aWay Alaska are com
inc famous Klondike nuggets, and the
original nugget, and some are already IN
place. New Mexico Arizona, Utah, Colo
RADIO, Montana, Minnesota and Nevada
have elaborate displays of mineral re-
sources. California, at no little expense,
put in a working model mine, which
came to grief in the first blaze on the eX-
position grounds at the hands of cigar
cite fiend. The mine model showed an
old miners cabin and a shaft. You got
in this and went down at the rate of
about 5000 feet in mnute-so it seemed
but in reality about 20 feet.

OF the tifty-two newspapers in Paris
only -Rochefort's, Clemenceau's

secret OF the enmity of the other forty
nine is to be found in their corrupt

novel, Paris" has shown up the rot
tenness of these papers in trenchant
manner and displayed an intimate
knowledge of all the ms and outs of the
transactions growing out of the Pana-
ma scandal which in his work figures
as an African railroad scandal. The
same influences are at work now. These
papers have been bought up by the
Spanish bondholders as they were then

never known to advocate any cause
for which they are not paid.

There are twenty-three States which
maintain Railroad Commissioners, to
which Louisiana will be added when
it's new constitution goes into effect.
OF these all have three commissioners
apiece, except Wisconsin, Ohio, Virgin

the total expenses of the New York
commission are nearly twice as great
as those of any other State. amounting
to 500, 325 per annum, of which 1000
Tor So. coo apiece is for the salaries of
the three commissioners. Other
States. in the order of their expendi'
lures, are as follows: Texas, $50, 100;
Massachusetts, $27,430; Illinois, S23,'
200. Rhode Island has the lowest ag-
gregate of expenditures, amounting to
| 81 ,O21, of which only sd is outside OF
the salary list. In every instance much
the largest proportion of the eXpendl'
lures Is on account of the salaries OF
the commissioners and their employees,
the outside expenses in Illinois being
the largest, amounting to $6,4SO Mas
SachuSpttS comes next with $4942 on
account of miscellaneous expenses;
South Dakota third, with $4,000; ana
New York fourth, with $4,425. The
salary list of Illinois aggregates $16-

Boat Dandy, of Guantanamo, via Kings
ton Jamaica. June 2O-Cuban scouts re-
port today that the inhabitants OF Cal
mancra have strcWn the streets with
straw and oil, with the intention of
destroying the city and fleeing to the
hills Camanera lies four miles up the
bay from Camp McCala under the guns
of the American ships, and the situation
is desperate. Starving and famine strick-
en-, convinced OF the ultimate triumph of
the American army, and without faith in
the protection of the Spanish soldiery,
the people are believed to have deter
mined to leave their houses in ashes be
hind them and seek safety in the hills of
the north. The scouts declare that the
story is accurate, and say tn&t every
building of the town is being rapidly pre-
pared for the torch
The situation of the bcsiegcd is a fear
full one. The people are eating horses and
mules and are securing the hills for fruits
and herbs. Occasionally brief lombard
mcnts by the American fleet leave the
helpless citizens terror-stricken, no prep
arations for defense being made. 1t is
also stated that the Spanish gunboat at
Caimancra has been loaded with inham-
mables and will be burned with the city,
her commander declaring that she will
never become an American prize.
The scouts also say the Spanish soldiers
are in almost rs complete state of panic
as are the civilians and that they could
easily be induced to surrender. Some of
the prisoners taken by the marines also
say that they believe the Spanish troops
are on the verge of surrender, owing to
the lack of food. Captain McCalla of the
cruiser Narblehead and Lieutenant Col
onel Huntington, in command of the ma
rines are not so sure, however, of the
Spanish rout.
The coast in the vicinity of Guantana-
mo is dotted with bright hued Cuban
flags. Numerous camps of the insurgents
have been established along the beach
between Santiago and this place and are
nsed bv the admiral as means of commu-
nication with the insurgents in the in
terror. The information which these men
have oiven has been proven highly valu-
able to the Americans. Their stories of
the disaster to the Spanish soldiers in this
vicinity have been corroborated by pris-
oners raptured around the camp.

captured by Ensign A. A. Pratt Of the

| Unlike the German Emperor queen
| Victoria does not have a fresh scrap
| book filled with newspaper clippings
to read every morning over her coffee.
| The newspapers are, however read for
her benefit. and she has means of know
| ing whenever anything unpleasant is
said about any member Of the royal
| family. This Is the one subject on
which she is sensitive. She never has
cause to resent anything that Is said
about herself. She commands the re-
spect, affection and loyal devotion of all
! her subjects. Nothing unkind or disre-
Spectful is ever seen in print about the
| Queen. Sometimes a critical remark
! is haZarded in Parliament about royal
duke connected With the army. The
! Queen at once hears of it and calls the
attention of the prime minister to it,
asking him to ascertain on what author
! ity the statement has been made. The
prime minister forwards the letter to
| the war office. The Secretary for War
sends a letter to the offending member
| of Parliament, asking for information

such explanation as he considers neces-

also personally interested, for their
names may be dropped from the lists OF

erted by the Queen upon Parliamentary
debate and public discussion, but it is
none the less real and effective. 1t pro
tects the court and members of the

holds the dignity of the monarchy. The
| Queen. being a wise ruler, does not In
terfere openly with the privilege OF free
speech, which is the Briton's birthright'
She does not expose critics of the royal
house to vexatiOus annoyance, but in a
| quiet way reminds them that she and
her family are entitled to consideration
| and respect, and ought not to be spoken
of lightly and uncharitably The Tu-
doris, Stuarts and Georges had more ar
bitrary methods of enforcing respect
for the crown. They imprisoned or ex-
posed to prosecution those whose 10y
atty was suspected, sometimes cutting
off their heads or taking away their IL
Ties or estates, or heavily filming them.
The Victorian method of discipline Is
mild and wholesome, and fully In har'
mony with the political conditions OK
