OMAHA EXPOSITION.
Dramatic Event During Dedica-
ton of the Illinois Building.

OMAHA (Neb.), June 21.-The Hi
nols State building at the exposition
was dedicated to-day in the presence
OF Governor John r. Tanner and his
full staff, the Exposition Committee
| OF that State, and probably 10000 citi-
zens Of Illinois,
Hon. William H. Harper, Chairman of
the Illinois Committee, initiated the
ceremonies in an address rendering the:
building to Governor Tanner, Who in
turn rendered it to the exposition in an
| address of ten minutes.
A most dramatic event interrupted
the proceedings, just at the close of
Governor Tanners remarks Colonel
Carr announced that Melville E. Stone,
General Manager of the Associated
Press, had a bulletin to the effect that
General Skaters forces had arrived
at Santiago. The effect was electrical.
In an instant the immense throng was
on its feet cheering madly. In the
midst of the enthusiasm the strains of
the 'Star-Spangled Banner" played by
the Marine Band, began to be heard.
The audience joined in singing. Then
the Apollo Club of Chicago sang
Illinois" and without pause at the
end started up America" in which the
audience again joined. This was fol-
lowed by the Marine Band again in the
Voice of Our Nation collection of
patriotic airs, and the scene that fol-
lowed was one of the most wonderful
outursts of patriotism ever witnessed.
President Wattles of the exposition
accepted the building in the name of
the exposition. Senator Mason and
Hon. John /. Beveridge Ex-Governor
of Illinois, also made speeches. The
Apollo Club Of Chicago sang a chorus
with 200 voices.
An informal banquet this evening to
the official guests of the exposition AMI
reception to Governor and Mrs. Tan
ner in the Illinois building concluded
the dedicatory exercises.
The Illinois State building is one Of
the most handsome on the grounds. 1t
was deliberately decorated with flags
and bunting for the occasion, the in
terror being profusely banked with
potted plants and cut flowers.

SPANISH SHIP vIDOSA.
Indications That the Vessel Ha.
Been Wrecked.

Rowe of the British steamer Wraggae,
which arrived here yesterday from
Shields, reports picking up dory on
June 10Th in latitude "A north longi-
tude, 80 and 80 minutes west.
On the bow of the dory was painted
the name "Vidosa," while on the stern
was the number 6. There is a full
rugged ship by the name Of Vidosa in
the Spanish merchant service. She
was last reported at Tuxpam, Mexico
several months ago. She loaded at
that port and Tampico for the Ber-
mudas and West Indian ports. She
has not been heard of since that time,
and it is supposed she was wrecked.

1t is reported that Captain General
August of Manila will ask commanders
of foreign war ships to land detach-
ments and occupy Manila, on the
ground that he is no longer able to re-
sist the insurgents. But if he does so,
the foreign ships will do nothing of the
kind without shoulderng a deal of trou-
bic. They will find no warrant in in
ternational law or the laws of war for
permitting Spanish troops to shelter
themselves behind foreign skirts If
that rule is to prevail, there will be
established a system that will tie the
hands of every nation which asserts
its right to punish an enemy, or re-
cover its own. Foreign troops may
shelter the people of their own nation,
they may afford them opportunity to
leave a beleaguered city and to en-
bark upon the ship of a neutral. But
there can be no occupation of a city
in favor of the vanquished, and to pre-
vent the victor taking possession of the
fruits of his contest without allyship
with the defeated.

WHERE RUSSIAN INTEREST LIES.

France has made a mistake in count
ing upon Russia as her sure ally in all
matters affecting balance of power and
commercial and territorial changes. The
st. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Standard, and he is among the
on foreign subjects, says that the war
between Spain and the United States
has really the effect Of drawing Rus
STA and England nearer together and
making them more interested in being
close friends than any allyship between
Russia and France
Russia and Great Britain, he con-
tends, are most interested in the peace
full progress of the United States,
through which the three nations are
to be brought into closer commercial
and fraternal relations The growth
of amity between America and Great
Britain operates to impress Russia with
the desirability of being ''in it." to use
the language of the street, since to be
party to an expressed or even a
mere sentimental alliance between the
United States and Great Britain. would
be greatly to the advantage of Russia,
far more SO than for Russia to tie her
self to France and conserve her med
ding with European politics and her
unconcealed sympathy for Spain.
Between the Slavs and the Franks
there is and never has been any cor
dial exchange, there is no natural SEN
timental ground for them to occupy
in common. The Gar is jealous of Ger
man commercial encroachment in the
Orient. a pretension which cripples the
Russian scheme of empire in China
more than anything else. Russia sees,
therefore, that it is advisable to re-
main close to Great Britain, which ap-
pears TO have an understanding with
Japan, and not to cast her lot with the
French which would make the issue
between Germany and Russia in the
orient more clear cut, and more to the
advantage Of the German scheme. Thus
we see how the occupation of the port
of Manila has put forward the United
States as an important factor in Eu-
ropean politics, without this country
taxing single purposeful step in that
direction, for after we have once taken
the Philippine Islands it may prove a
very difficult task to let them go.

The San Jose Mercury" we'll says
that the time has passed for anti-an-

The people have formulated their YER

firmed her act by accepting it in the

There is no warrant beyond that of
sentimental speculation for the iterated
assertion that if the question of annex
alton should be submitted to a vote Of
jected. The press, the legislative
body, the officials, the leading business
men and women, the people who make
and mold the activities Of Hawaii, de-
clare that there is not only no demand
for any such submission, but that if it
were done the decision would be over
wheimingly for annexation, and these
are better situated to know than the
opponents who for most part represent
the sugar ring and foreign sentiment.

He Got the Pin.

A good many people still believe in
the little superstition about seeing a
pin and picking it up 1t makes some
Of them decidedly uncomfortable when
they pass n pin by, and even if expe-
rience has taught them that there is
nothing to be gained by scooping up the
pointed bit Of wire they still dive for
one whenever they see it.
An aged man was toddling across
Payne avenue at its junction with Will
son some time ago when between the
street car rails at the very center of the
curve he noticed pin. 1t was bright
pin, and it caught his rather enfeebled
gaze ut once. Being superstitious old
gentleman, he determined to secure that
pin. With considerable effort he man

trembling fingers closed upon it, with

swinging around the curve at the usual
terrifying rate. The old man went one
way, his cane and glasses and hat went

picked him up. He was badly bruised,

Chamberlain and the puritan Msid.p

A Baltimore woman, in The Sun Of
that city, tells this story Of Joseph
Chamberlain when he was in Washing
ton in 1887:
He was big, burly man, caring so
little for his appearance that at one Of
the most fashionable dinners of the sea-
son his cravat got turned to almost I'M
der his ear and his shirt stud became
unfastened, and he sat calmly oblivious
to either incident. His brains and charm
in conversation won him friends wher-
ever he went. One day he called ON a
lady who happened to be giving girls
luncheon. She went out at once to see
him, and laughingly said if he did not
mind being the only man present she
would be delighted if he would come
in the dining room and take the vacant
place Of one of her young friends who
had not come.
'He was not afraid to face lot OF
American beauties so he accepted
gayly, and the vacant place happened
| to tie next that of Miss Endicott, daugh.
