GIFT OF A SILVER SERVICE AND A PIANO Boston ot Was in n ittee ded by tation Mayor. BOSTON, Aug. 81.—A handsome solid sil- ver service cof eight pleces, a large picture of Minneapolis and an elegant upright plano of Minneapolis manufacture were presented to the cruiser Minneapolis, the *“Queen of the e i . or, this | Navy," at anchor in the Boston harb | tempt the perils of the mighty dee forenoon by a committee of prominent citizens of that city, composed of Mayor Robert Pratt Colonel C. McC. Reeve, State Senator J. T. Wyman, J. 8. McLain, editor cf the Evening Journal, and Hon. George B. Bustis. The members of the commitiee were es- corted from their headquarters in Concord square by the Minneapolis Knights Templar drill corps, headed by a band. Along the whart the steam launches and boats of the cruiser were wai’ 'z for the party and they were soon alongside the war ship. At the gangway Captain George H. Wadieigh and the officers of the Minneapolis received the visitors, while the crew lined up on deck formed the background of a very pretty pic- ture. The guests were escorted to the star- board side of the quarter deck, where Mayor Pratt formally Introduced Colonel Re:ve, who in behalf of the c'tizens of Minneapolis pre- sented the silver service, together with the handsome upright piano and tue picture of the city of Minneapolis. Colonel Reeve, in making the presentation, spoke as follows: “It is our pleasure, as well as our privilege, to stand before you today, the humble represgntatives of one of those phenomenal western communities where the wild buffalo and the noble red man are popularly supposed to roam at will through the streets. We, who do not know a bob-stay from a bow-line; who cannot discriminate between a binnacle and a barnacle; whose kilowledge of navigation i1s confined entirely to prairie schooners—and ooners of quite another type; we simple grangers from our peaceful homes upon the pleasant prairies of distant Minnesota, here find ourselves face to face with all the ‘pomp and circumstance of glorious war;' walting but a signal to con vert this slumbering leviathan into a living engine of destruction so terrible that the brain of the uninitiated sickens as it contem plates these death-dealing possibilities. To Mars we come—and with a sigh of infinite relief we find that the god has doffed his armor and greets us—smilingly. “And yet, ignorant as we are of The fashing brine, and the ocean's roar, meekly as we baw to the appropriate epithet of ‘land lubbers,’ do not, we beg you, think 80 lghtly of our intelligence as to deem us elther ignorant or unmindful of the glorious achlevements of the American sailor. The American saflor? Of him has it truthtully been said: The world has no match for him, man for man; and he asks no odds, and he cares for no odds, when the cause of human- ity or the glory of his couniry calls him to fight. Upon the brightest page of our hi: tory, that part of it which the world knows by heart, is written his record, and there, in characters of living light, shine forth the names of John Paul Jones. and Decatur, and Hull; of Worden and Foote and Farragut Household words have they been to us; nd household words will they remain for- ever; that loving mothers may wuse to teach to prattling babes the lesson of courage and patriotism and loyalty 0 you, gentlemen, worthy successors of such a galaxy of heroes, commissioned under the proudest banuer that ever floated from eitadel or masthead, to maintain upon the high seas tbe honor and dignity of seventy millions of freemen, armed and equipped as Columbia ever prepares her children to fight wheén fight they must, to you, I say, we great honor bestowed upon the city of our love. And we should be untrue to ourselves, untrue to the wishes and commands of those whose servants we are, did we fail to assure you of the appreciative pride which fills the heart of each and every one of us, not only for the stately ship which bears the name of Minneapolis, but a thou- sand times more for her gallant officers and crew, strangers to us though they may be, in whose keeping we know full well that the honor surrounding like a halo that uame which is to us home and reputation, and all that man holds most dear, is safe beyond & peradventure—and will be guarded with jealous, watchful cace, as brave men are ever to do. Take our modest offering—use it every day. The gifts to other war ships may be more beautiful and magnificent, but among them all there is not one which bears with it the hearty good will which c mes with this gift of the people. The mountain may not come to Mohammed, but no officer or sailor of this peerless ship can ever come to Minneapolis without being treated as one of our own. And as you go forth anew to , whother the tropies or the polar seas, burning sun of winter of beneath thi amid the eternal with deepest interest shall we follaw vou always, feeling that between us there Is a bond of union which time cannot destroy nor distance nor separation oMace from our hearts. God bless you all.’” Caplain George H. Wadleigh, as the repre- sentative of the ship and the government, re- sponded in & happy speech, after which the party was escorted ove~ the vestel and In- vited to partake of a collatior. The plate presented the cruiser consists of eight pieces of solid silver, made according to special design. The decorations are beau- tiful examples of the silversmith's art, the plate being completely covered with engray- ings which typify the industries'and resources of the city of Minneipelis and nauticil em blems. On the insiie of the soup turecn the falls of Minnehaha are placed, enclosed with the United States flag and the seal of Minne sota, On the other side Is the seal of the ship. American eagles ornament the handle: of the tureen and dolphins serve as feet, while the base is embellished with a number of nautical designs. The inseription on the plate reads: “Presented to the U. 8. 8. Min neapolis by the Citizens of M nneapolis, 189: Adl of the other pieces are elaborately dec orated. The piano is a handsome instrument cf sol'd manufactured especally for the cruiser Minneapolis, The picture of the city of Minneapolis, which will adorn the main cabin of the vessel, is enclosed in a ma: mahogany frame and is a very pretty bird's eye view, seven feet long and three wide. At the close of the informal festivities, shortly after 12 o'clock, the Minneapolis Knights Templar drill corps, thirty men under the command of Captain A. G. § Huey, came ashore and marched to the com- mon where they gave a drill which was witnessed by a large crowd. The men were arrayed in white duck suits, white yachting caps, red neckties and conspicuous red hand kerchiefs, all carrying tightly wound red umbrellas and made a decided hit Must Completely Drain the Mines. CENTRAL CITY, Colo., Aug. 31.--Both the Americus and Sleepy Hollow mines, where thirteen men lost their lives, have 200 men at work. The water Is steadily rising, al though the buckets have taken out 5,000 gal- lons an hour since the disaster occurred Pumps have been put in and will be started The state mine “inspector has ordered the owners of the flooded mines to drain them at once, regardless of what the owners of adjoining properties may do regarding the expense. This will take at least a month with present facilities. The managers of the Americus say that by the measurement 115 feet of rock separated the mine from the Bobtail, and they account for the breaking only by the assumption that the latter work- ings encroached on their territory. The Bob- tail was abandoned some time ago on ac- count of the drainage dtspute.

A committee of citizens will provide a banquet and entertainment for the soldiers and the city will be Nluminated tonight. It is rumored in official circles that the column of Spanish troops commanded by Colonel Palanca has had a skirmish with the insurgent forces commanded by Roloff and the latter is said to have been wounded. According to the advices received here from official sources In the province of Santa Clara a detachment of Spanish volunteers at the Convenio plantation has captured eight colored men forming a band known as Plateados. Additional advices received by the gov- ernment say the column of troops com- manded by Colonel Palanca has had an en gagement ~ with the insurgent band com- manded by Serafin Sanchez. No details have been made public It is announced in government circles that a lieutenant of infantry named Lobez Gran- dez, being informed that a number of In- surgents had attacked a plantation near Macagua, went there with seventeen soldiers and encountered an insurgent force of 300 men, commanded by Bermudez, and after a stubborn fight the lieutenant and fourteen of the soldiers were killed. The three re- maining members of the detachment es caped and rejoined the main body of Span- ish troops. The insurgents,it is asserted, retired and left many dead and wounded on the fleld It was stated in official circles today that a detachment of 200 Insurgents recently sur- prised a guard of soldiers and volunteers who occupled & small fort at Mordazoa. The troops are sald to have been betrayed by a native of Cuba, who allowed the insurgents to enter the fort. Two civil guards and one volunteer, It 1s added, were wounded, and a sergeant, a corporal and two soldlers of the government force were also wounded. The Insurgents captured all the arms, ammuhi- tlon, provisions and medicine in the fort. TREASURY TOOK A HAND. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—The first in- formation regarding the Cuban filibustering expedition reached the State department yes- terday in the shape of a warning from the Spanish consul at Philadelphia. Acting Sec- retary Adee thereupon sent the following lotter to Becretary Carlisle “The Spanish consul at Philadelphia 1s about to make complaint under oath at Wil- mington, Del., on knowledge and belief that an armed expedition left that port at mid- night last night on the tug Taurus, to be transferred to a steamer, for hostile purposes against the peace of Spain, in violation of the neutrality laws of the United States. The name of the steamer to which the ex- pedition was to be transferred has not yet been ascertained. The Spanish consul asks in the name of the Spanish minister that steps be taken to hold any steamer with sus- piclous assemblages on board and to detain the Taurus until opportunity can be afforded to institute due judicial procesdings today." Acting Secretary Curtls also telegraphed to the collector of customs at Philadelphia | apprising him of the reported expedition and instructing him to dispatch the revenue cutter Hamilton to Wilmington. The col- lector at Wilmington was informed that the Hamilton had been ordered to report to him and that the naphtha launch at the Delaware | breakwater quarantine d also be used if desired. The result was that at 6 last night Mr. Curtis received the following { telegram from Collector Townsend at Wil- mington: “Have captured the steam tug Taurus, bound for Cuba, with arms, twenty men and twent; even cases of ammunition,” BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 8L.—General Ely Samuel Parker died suddenly last night at the residence in Fairfield of Arthur Brow where he arrived from New York yesterday General Parker was 75 years of age and was a full-blooded Indian.

PUSHING THE WORK ALO G Closed a Busy Week at the State Fair Grounds. ALMOST READY FOR THE FESTIVITIES us for Transportation and Handling of the Crowd O leted—Purses for the Owners of I'lyers. There was a great deal of stir and bustle at the state fair grounds yesterday. Hun- dreds of prospéctive exhibitors were on hand, either inspecting space that has been allotted to them or putting In their applications for the same, and the excitement will continue to increase from now on until the opening of the mammoth autumnal frolic. This will be a busy week at the White City, when most of the bulky exhibits on the way, machinery and agricultural implements, are expected to arrive. The locating of these will require a vast amount of work and the grounds will be alive with hurrying laborers. Ex-Governor Furnas will arrive in the city tomorrow and establish his headquarters at the Millard hotel, and all parties wishing to confer with him on any subject connected With the fair can meet him thece. Governor Furnas represents tho board and this is the first real step preparatory to opening the gates at the White City for the great exposi- tion and festival. FOR REACHING THE GROUNDS. There has been some delay occasioned by recent heavy rains in laying the street car tracks. Officers of the company have not been idle, but have put in every moment, day and night, siuce 1t was determined that the tracks were to be laid. It was certainly commendible In the street car company in hauling the material to the other end of the lines and building this way. By the last of this week every- thing will be perfected, the double tracks out Leavenworth street will be ready for the cars and Mr. Tucker says that with its capacity for running trains the company can handle n¢ less than 12,000 people every hour, running both ways. The Elkhorn has completed all of its sidings at the grounds, while the Mis- souri Pacific has its grading done and ths main track laid. It is now only necessary to build the stock chutes, platforms and bridge over the Little Papiilion. This done and all the arrangements at the grounds are in readiness for the crowds. This finally con- svmmates the original idea of transportation in connection with the great fair, which is this: That the B. & M., using the Missouri Pacific terminals, will run excursion trains to the grounds and a stub train between its connection near Miller's park and the grounds, connecting with all regnlar tra‘ns The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs railways will Tun to the grounds, using these termina The Elkhorn, Northwestern and Chicago, Paul, Minneapolls & Omaha will run ex- cursions to the grounds over the Elkhorn terminals. In addition to excursions the Union Paclfic will run local trains between South Omaha, Council Bluffs and Omaha. All other roads will land their passengers at the union depot and the local trains or street rail- way will transport them to the grounds. This makes admirable transportation seryice. ONE OF THE FEATURES. The jobbers' building will be one of the best features of the fair. It is to be 160x50 and cost something like $4,000, and be architecturally very attractive. All of the prominent jobbers will have space in this building for their various dlsplays, as well as a general headquarters for their visiting patrons and friends. This bullding has been made necessary by the overflow of ap plications for space, and thus the jobbers found it would be to their advantage to construct their own bullding. There has been considerable cerning cost of transportation during falr week from the surrounding country. In Nebraska and lowa there will be half rates on all the lines, and on September 10, east of & 100-mile line in Iowa and to the At lantic seaboard, round trip tickets will be inquiry con- | south of bere. s0ld for one fare, plus $4, east of Chicago | and St. Louis, ‘and $2_west of Chicago and St. Louts, to Omaha. This will afford people in the eastern states an opportunity to visit Omaha and Nebraska, All those wish- ing to prospect into the Interior of the state will be given half rates. The idea is to bring prospective settlers this way, and Ne- braska people are urged to invite their friends in the east in order that the bad impression left by last years' drouth may bo removed PLANS FOR THE FLYING STEEDS The race course is rapidly receiving the finishing touches, and from present indica- tions will be even better and faster than was at first_considered possible. The state fair races will be run from September 16 to 20, inclusive, and appended will be found the complete program, aside from the bicy®e races, open to the world MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. Race. Purse.

This Is intenslfied by the fact that Shorten was repeatedly disciplined here for too much fondness for Miss Geyer, and that he was to be tried at the conference at Hams flton for the same off-nse, and furthermore that bolh misrepresented where they were going, The deacons visited Cincinnatl today and learned that & man who arrived om Tuesday and a woman on Wednesday loft as man and wite for Philadelphia last night by the Baltimore & Ohlo.
