G. W. MARSH. "By Frank McCartney, Deputy." As soon as the resignation was countersigned in the office of the- secretary of state, Governor Savage took up ttie usual routine. His first official act was to attach his signature to the credentials of Senator Dietrich andr then he turned his attention to other mat Immediately to ascertain the facts as to the connection of Lieutenant Town-ley with the army scandals in Manila as developed by his testimony at the court-martial yesterday, Admiral Remey being absent from the station, an order will g0 forward to Admiral Kempft demanding an Inquiry.

Subsequently orders were sent forward from the Navy department to Rear Admiral Kempff, directing that officer to conduct an Investigation ln order to ascertain' the facts ln Lieutenant Townley's case and If the findings warrant to order a court of inquiry. Lieutenant Townley was a retired officer, born la Ohio, and appointed from He has been twenty years out of the service and was the only retired officer on the Manila station, reinstated under the special act of congress.

Townley of Lincoln, has got himself intova peck of trouble by his frank avowal in the Investigation of the Manila scandal that ha endeavored to secure $2,000 from contractors for the benefit of Captain Heed, depot commissary. Townley's testimony as given in the press dispatches was that he went to the contractors and suggested that It would be greatly to their advantage to give Heed the money he asked and 10 per cent or all sales, as he was In a position aid or hinder them in their dealings with the government. Town-ley said that the reason why he did so was that Heed wanted the money to cover-up the shortage of his predecessor, which had not then been discovered by his superiors, and said he thought it was a. noble thing for Heed tO dO. TV The shaky thing about It is that several contractors testified to Reed's demands for sums that total much more than thfr alleged shortage, anil that Townley not only asked for $2,000 but wanted 10 per cent on all subsequent Sales.

on the face of It It look as thouvh Townley was in a rather embarrassing position. He lived most of his life ln Lincoln, had heen city engineer at one time and secretary of the state banking board. When he was called back 4nto active service ho was secretary of of the Commercial club. Lincoln people will read with inter, est these two telegrams from Washington: WASHINGTON, April 30.

A Unique feature was a hugh arch made of 125 bales of cotton erected at Crawford and Walnut streets, under which the presidential party was driv en on Us way to the court house where the president made a speech.

Mrs. Hammond kept her counsel but went ahead.

When the presidential party was on the way word reacned the train that Mrs. Hammond's banquet was under way and Secretary Cortelyou again strictly forbade it. The business men of Memphis also demanded an abandonment of the schedule, but when the president arrived the banquet was all ready. "I told Mr. Cortelyou," said Mrs.

Hammond afterwards, "that if I could not have Mrs. McKinley at dinner I would have to leave Memphis, because everyone of my one hundred women would be my enemies for life. What did Mr. Cortelyou do? What could he do. He smiled as graciously as he could under the circumstances and we had Mrs, McKinley with us.

She had a fine time and so did we."

Dewey specially requested of his offi cers that at the dinner this evening tney all sit without regard ta rank. STANDARD EXPERIMENTS WITH OIL FROM TEXAS 1 HAVANA, May 1.

The United States government die- play Is one of the notable features of the exposition. It Is, without question, he most comprehensive and complete exhibit of the characters purpose and scope ot the various departments of the administrative branch of a great country that has been, attempted by any nation.

The departments, divisions and bureaus represented include the war, state, treasury, agriculture, interior, postofnee and labor: the commission of fish and fisheries, and the bureau of American republics. The gov- ernment building Is nearly BOO feet long and Is surmounted by a graceful dom which rises from the center.

Covering two acres and housed In a building of beauty and size commensurate with its Importance is a magnificent display of the varied agricultural products from tha various and countries of the western hemisphere. The model dairy, composed of all breeds ot milch is not yet complete, but enough has been done to give an Idea of the Interesting, character of the exhibit. The exhibit of live stock Is also worthy of special note. The three departments, with their Innumerable exhibits, are well Calculated to Impress the visitors with an idea of the marvelous strides that have been made in the improvement of methods In the farming, stock raising and dairy world during the nineteenth century. No description of the wonders of the Pan-American exposition would be complete without mention of the Stadium.

The' Stadium, which has an arena and seating capacity larger than the famous Coliseum of the Roman offers an unexcelled track and field for. the holding of athletic carnivals during the exposition months.

Ta the people of Huffalo ln particular, and to the few who, once beginning, would never yield to discouragement, must be given the praise for Its conception: to those who have so faithfully tvorked for Its accomplishment must be conceded high purpose and wonderful faculties for overcoming difficulties.

As first planned ln 1807, the exposition was to be held at Cayuga Island, near Niagara Falls, ln the year 1899, and the fifty acres embraced In the Island was thought to be ample. The Spanish-American war Intervened and It was thought best to allow the pro ject to slumber. When It was revived It was on broader lines. Nearly was placed at the disposal of the management und with that great sum on hand, and with possibilities of large appropriations from the Dominion of Canada, Mexico-and the countries of Central and South America, and the various slates of the union for special biddings, all thoughts of Cayuga Isl and were set aside, and a site, embracing 350 acres, and including the most beautiful portion of Delaware park, as well as land adjacent to the famous pleasure graound. was selected.

In Its very purpose the affair Is uni que for never before has an exposition been held designed to be entirely Amer ican. From Its conception the project hus been carried out on a scale commensurate with the exalted character of its leading purposes. The site Is an ideal one, admirably located ln the northern central part, of the city. The salient features of the exposition may be said to be Its electrical display, the hydraulic and fountain effects, the horticultural, floral and garden effects, the original sculptural ornamentation, the color decorations and the court settings. The general style of the arch.

ilbcluro is a free treatment of the Spanish Renaissance, chosen by way of compliment to the Latin-American countries interested ln the exposition.

The electric tower Is Justly considered the most Imposing and attractive structure of the exposition. The genius of the architect has been taxed to preserve lines and elements of beauty In such a lofty structure, but the problem has been well mastered and the ornamental character of the edifice Is at once apparent.
