The department of transportation exhibits the Columbian 'ExposU' Jon, covering railways, vessels and Vehicles, gives notice that all applications for space must be made before August 1. Applications already received call for at least twice as much space as the department has at its disposal. But applications received up to the close of the current month will receive consideration. In the allotment of space which will then begin, the value and importance of each exhibit in its relation to the whole will be duly considered. Ex. hibitors are urged to plan for the best Exhibit possible, rather than the largest, and to study especially economy of space. The artistic effect oi exhibits will have much to do with their location in the building. Indianapolis recently enjo ye d some fine horse-racing, and may now be considered reasonably happy. Horse-yacing in itself is not condemned as an evil by a large part oi the people, but the gambling that seems to go with it so naturally is. At the Indianapolis races the gambling was in brbad daylight. Ko attempt at concealment was made* Not only were the book- makers many and loud, but gambling de vices of various kinds were exposed to the public view, and the patron age, except as to the amounts wagered, would have done credit to Monte Carlo. In one instance an “Old Hy” plant was run with twelve tables, and the public crowded each other in their efforts to place their money. The gamblers consisted of , all ages and kinds—boys from fifteen up, who could not afford to risk move than 10 cents on the turn of the dice business men who rapidly dropped silver dollars into the pockets of the proprietors, and old men who ought' not to be guilty of gambling under any circumstances'. Why should this be allowed at horse-races? Gambling and “skin games” such as were witnessed AVindianapolis, is not—at least, ought not to be—a part of the genuine sport and exhiliration to be found in witnessing speedy races tc test their qualities. Book making, gambling devices and skin games of all kinds should be prohibited if the true sport of horse racibg is to sur

COLUMBUS’S LONG TRIP

Was Begun Just Four Hundred , Years Ago, Aug. 3d. An Appropriate Obiervanel of the Anniversary at Palos, Spain, by the Spanish Cruisers. A special from Palos.. Spain, August 3d, says: This is the four hundredth anniversary of the day on which Columbus Set sail from Palos, westward on his voyage of discovery, and the festivities arranged here for cerebrating the day were carried out w ith great eclat. The view from town, however, was obscured by a thick mist, which hungover the river and rendered it Impossible to see more than a Tttifflrbutllpe of thehulis ofthe vessels lying at anchor. At 6 o'clock, the hour at which Columbus began his voyage, the caravel, Santa Maria, constructed in imitation of the vessel of that name, belongthe Columbus expedition, which Upd beep lying off shore all night, set hei ' sails' for her passage through the lines of war ships anchored outside the barr but owing to the prevalence, of a dead calm, .a line was run to her, from a gun-boat and she was t owed do wn stream, fo] lowed by the Span - Jsh flotilla in single file,MinisteroLM&r line Montfgo being on board the war-ship Legisipi. The voyage down the river past the Monastery of Larabida, on which building the flags of all the American States were flying, to the bar occupied about an hour. Outside the bar were moored the vessels of the foreign squadrons which had come to take part in the celebration. These vessels were, formed *in line, between which the caraval passed amid thunderous salutes and deafening cheers. The mist and the smoke from the guns made it impossible to watch the maneuvers of the[caraval, which followed for some distance the route taken by Columbus four years ago. At 9 the little vessel returned and re-entered the river. The town of Ilelva is crowded with visitors, and all the buildings, both private and public.jtare gaily decorated.

WASHINGTON.

Tho President has signed the bill making eight hours a day’s w-ork for all government employes and those working uiT der government contracts. The Democratic committee seeking to compromise the differences that have caused the deadlock iji the House, have agreed upon a compromise proposition to appropriate $2,500,000 instead of $5.0 10.000 for the World’s Fair. Even this may be. defeated. Tlro-Prestdent-on the 3d returned, jvtttr his veto, the bill providing for bringing suits against the United States. He believed >t would work a great injury to the general land office, and injustice to settlers public lands. By the pjan .proposed tho expense'of suits would be enormously increased, andgreat hardships result. Representative Martin, of Indiana, Wednesday introduced in the House eight bills for the erection of public buildings in the following places in Indiana: Bluffton, Qecatur, Hartford City, Huntington, Marion, Peru, Portland and Wabash. There is no prospect of action on any of these bills by the committee on public buildings at this session of Congress. The Senate Tuesday unanimously adopted the resolution fpr the appointment of a special committee to inquire Into the Homestead troubles and the em I ploymentof the /Pinkertons. It provides for a select committee of seven Senators to investigate And report th e sac ts i n re lati on to the employment for private purposes of armed bodies of men or detectives in con. nection with differences between workmen and employers; the for'the crea- ! tion of such organized bodies of armed ' men, their character and uses; where, I when, how and by whom they are employand paid, and under what authority.

Very few Indianians probably know that at one time tho old city of Jeffersonville was the Saratoga of the South and West. There are springs located there whose healing properties are acknowledged by the doctors and atone time made them quite celebrated. During old times hundreds of visitors would permanently locate at’ the iidtel and in the cottages which were located near the spot. It was here that Gen.tlackson held one of the most celebrated barbecues and meetings during one of his campaigns, and six thousand people were present to hear the old hero speak/ Henry Clay and other Southern and Kentucky notables visited the springs during the heated terms. Now the place has gone to ruin, and a swamp covers the site of the springs, although a largahrook still flows from it.

Rev. Horace Reed, of Danville, 111., occupied tho Methodist pulpit at Crawfords ville, Sunday morning and evening.

Jones, two deacons the church, they visited nearly all thosaloons in Crawfordsville. They noticed how ffiiany persons were present at each place, and asked—the.proprietor how business was and when it was the best. One jocular host remarked that his business was most rushing immediately after church and just before Sunday school. At several places they were offered beer, whisky and cigars. At one place they saw a stag’ goring father doing his best to get to the bar L' • one more drink, while his wife and boy held his hands and pleaded with him to go home. Mr. Reed estimated from what he saw that probably a thousand persons’ visit the saloons of Crawfordsville every night.

M’KINLEY IN IOWA.

The Questions of Free Coinage &td Tariff Discussed- - i He Bay* * Short Dollar la Worse Than » Short Crop—Ten Thousand People Hear Him. _ Governor McKinley addressed 10.00 C people at Council Bluffs, lowa, on the 4tb He said: i P “ I shall speak on the subjects of money and taxation. The Democratic platform! of late years have declared in favor of fret silver, but when in the last Congress they had a majority thejtfailad to pass a free coinage bill against, the opposition of a solid Republican minority and deserters from the Democratic ranks. What we want is a dollar worth a hundred cents, here as well as elsewhere. Be it silver, paper or gold,the Republican party insists tmd has always insisted, that it should be', worth a hundred cents. If there be two kinds of money in circulation of different values, every one knows that the cheaper money drives the good money out of circulation. The 100-cent dollar won’t ciate with the 83-cent dollar. "Duringthe par you did riot see any gold in circulation at all. Now there are E>7OO,(XX),CO) in circulation, as the result of the redemption act of 1879. Some will claim that the silver dollar will buy as much as the gold dollar, but it must be remembered that the silver dollar ik now coined only to a limited extents If there were free coinage it would mean that every man having silver bullion, could take it to the government mints and get it coined. Now the government retains the difference between the value of the silver coined in a dollar and the 100 cents’ worth of silver, and thus makes the profit, whereas were there free coinage the silver men would get the ‘rake off.’ We do not want any short dollars in this country. A short dollar is worse than a short crop. A kind Providence may follow a short crop with a good one, but Providence has nothing to do with the lengthening of the short dollar. [Laughter.] "Coming to the subject of taxation, I would say that if wo had the power we would abolish all taxation. We don't like It, bnt. it is necessaryjto.sustain the government. The question is how to raise it. The revenue tariff advocated by the Democrats encourages no American industry. It is levied in cold business blood. It considers only tjie country, notthehomp. The consumer pays it. The Republican protective tariff, on the other hand, taxes the foreigner.” Governor McKinley then went on to show that protection benefited the farmer by giving liim a near-by riiayket. He dteclaredT old farmers who founded the Republic originated protection. He showed the advantage of the high tariff by comparing the conditiona of the country under the high and low tariffs. Referring to Republican defeat in 1890, he said the McKinley law was only four months old then and too young to speak for itself. Now it can and is speaking for itself.

STEVENSON SPEAKS.

The Guest of the Watterson Club Dwells Upon Ills Record in the War, Declaring He Was for Its Earnest Prosecution. Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, candidate for Vice-President, participated in the opening of the Watterson Club House at Louisville, on the evening of August 4.
