eve are going out in a blaze of glory,
literally and figuratively," declared Sec
rotary E.. w. Randall this morning after
a brief seance with officers of the state
fair. 1.-THE enorm Gus attendance OF yes
terday more than restored the waning rec
ords Of Wednesday and Thursday, and
the fair will be the greatest OF all from
every standpoint. Therein lies the glory
The fireworks people will burn everything
tonight All the fireworks prepared for
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, which
could not be set off on account of the rain,
will be touched off tonight, and the fire
works display and illumination this eve
ming will surpass anything ever seen In
the state. Hence I am not over enthu-
siastic when I say. that the fair of 1908
will go out in blaze Of glory" -
From Mr.. Randall it is learned that all
the figures Of last year, both with regard
to receipts and attendance, have been ex-
ceeded during the past week. The esti-
mated receipts from all sources, adnis-
sions, privileges and entrance money, are
$3.50, 900. This estimate is conservative,
and the figures are likely to go consider
ably higher. Last year the gross receipts
were SLAB, 900, so that the increase will be
from 81, 900 to $4,000. .~
No more striking evidence of the ire
mendous growth of the fair can be found
than in the treasurer's figures. In 1894,
only nine years ago, the gross receipts
were only $32,S57, showing a growth Of
more than 400 per cent.
The net profits for the week will be
over $4,000. AS the society has a hand
some balance from last year, it will be in
position to erect a. horticultural hall and
a live stock amphitheater.
The management has long since made it
rule that not a finger must be. stirred

so ma terially change its interior as to give
Minneapolis a practical and creditable
music hall.
Prominent in the scheme for improve,
ment are two items which will appeal to
the public and to the musicians. The
floor will be rebuilt with an incline in
stead Of being fiat, at present, and a
ceiling which will act as a sounding board
will be put in. .....-. ~
f. A Clear Stage.
In addition, the four big posts which
have held the center of the stage, to the
embarrassment of the scene shifters and
the disadvantage Of the artists, will be
removed and an iron truss will be used
to support the roof of the stage. These
posts were taken out at one time, but
their absence SO weakened the roof that
it was found necessary to put them back.
In the present plan the boxes are in q
row just behind the posts on the main
floor. When the remodelfng has been
completed there will be row Of boxes di-
present obstruct the box holders view.
Two stairways Of generous width have
already been built from the balcony di-
rectly down to the main floor, and two
more will be built as soon as the Banda
Rossa's engagement is finished. The stair
way to the main floor will also be en-
larged and a double plaster wall has been
built entirely around the auditorium.
, Heating Problem Solved.
But one small door will open from the
auditorium into the factory offices, so that
it will be almost impossible for any odor
from the factory to penetrate into the
auditorium proper. The heating problem
has also been solved, as the offices and
| other departments Of the factory will be
on the same floor as the auditorium and
will be heated at all times, making it
comparatively easy to heat the auditorium.
| The coming of Banda Rosa has delayed
| the work. but this will be proceeded with
as soon as the bands engagement has
terminated.

representative of the Associated Press,
that the powers continue to act In har-
mony. King Edward has given proof of
the attitude of England by his declara
ton at Vienna that he will support the
Russo Austrian policy. 1t Is not true that
Russia has entered into a secret alliance
with Bulgaria. She Is acting entirely
above board and in perfect harmony with
Austria. her desire being to maintain
peace. Rumania Is quiescent but there Is
an element of doubt in Servia, in conse-
quence Of the predominance Of the mill
tary in that country. Only after quiet Is
restored in Macedonia can reforms be in
stituted. Consequently the negotiations
between the powers are directed towards
the restoration of ORDER
Order In Constantnople.
All the diplomatic advices available here
agree In the statement that order prevails
at Constantinople. The few marines
landed there from the guardships were
merely for the purpose Of placing sem
tinels at the emha ssies, as an extra pre-
caution in consequence of the porte's
warnings against insurgent plots. 1t Is
empha tical]y stated that the marines were
not landed for the purpose of impressing
the sultan and it is asserted here that the
porte can be relied upon to protect the
embassies. But in case of riots at Con-
stantinople the guardships will quietly
land additional men to protect foreigners
from harm.

Constantinople, Sept. 5.-Altho in high
Turkish official circles the tendency Is
decidedly against war, the war sentiment

during the last few days. Considerable
Significance Is attached to the sultan 8

London Correspondent Says America Is
Handicapped In Turkey.

London, Sept. 5.-The Morning Post
publishes letter from it's Constaninople
correspondent in which he discusses the
Beirut affair and the position of the
American missionaries in Asia Minor. He
says:
Things have arrived at a crisis. The
United States must either insist on the
portes listening to its representations re-
garding American converts or drop the
missionaries altogether The latter course
is naturally impossible and the sending
Of q squadron has great significance as
showing a determination on the part Of
America to take an active part in the
Turkish question.
"One result Of this step will probably
be to induce the sultan to raise his repre-
sentative at Washington to the rank Of
ambassador so that the United States can
be equally represented here. At present
America is at decided disa advantage in
this respect compared with the other first
class powers. TT
Nobody can forsee the ultimate atti-
tude of the United States, but it is almost
certain that her weight will incline on
the side of the Christian against the
Turk. At the same time, as a matter of
Importance to Great Britain, America is
almost bound to oppose the descent of
Russia on the Dardanelles because in re-
ligious matters the Turk Is more tolerant

THE attitude Of Greece is entirely mis-
understood. What my government de-
sires is the establishment of, Greece in

in that province is subjected to atrocities

from the navy yard aided the firemen
and one sailor fell from the top of a

arms of three of his companions, who
saw him coming and braced them

Newport News, Va. Oct. 23.-The
battleship Missouri returned to the
shipyard here to-day, many hours in
advance of the time at which she was
expected. carrying broom at her
masthead. the nautical emblem of SUI
premacy in speed.
General Superintendent Post of the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company
says with reference to the trial trip:
The Missouri's performance was high
ly gratifying to Mr.. circuit and my
self, and the ship fully came up to our
expectations. After tidal allowances
are made we believe that her speed
will be much greater than is shown.
The contract speed of the Missouri
is eighteen knots, and had the ship
failed to attain this speed we would
have forfeited $4,000 for each quarter
knot lacking. The conditions We're such
that we lost time on all but the last
leg, when the Missouri overcame the
handicap and exceeded the contract
speed by .05 knots, uncorrected time.
This yard has never had ship to
fail to come up to her contract speed.
Under the present plans, the Mis-
souri, will go into commission on or
about Dec. l. She will be commanded
by Capt. CoWleS.
