Very -few of the visitors who en- ! tered the grounds yesterday morning or afternc left the Exposition until late i at night- Long before the naval battle began, the Bridge of All Nations and the ; planked t'treet connecting the Trail with ; the American Inn were packed and jammed with people. There were also thousands of spectators on Government Island. By 0 o'clock the crowds were so dense that It was well nigh impossible to get to either Government Ioland or the Amer ican Inn. Most of the spectators were -obliged to stand, as very few seats were available. Even Lakevlew Terrace was black with people last night, nearly all of whom gathered at the Exposition for the express purpcee of seeing the naval sham battle. There was no i yism or disorder, usually attendant . i large crowds, but Instead every or good natured and very few coxnp. . were heard because of the cru:h. : ;va naval battle did not begin at the time set. 10 o'clock, owing to an unavoidable dis abling of two of the ships that were to take part in the engagement. At about 10;S0 o'clock or a little later the first shots were fired by the fleet Crowd Frets Over Delay. The crowd grew restless over the delay, but the visitors soon forgot .their trou bles when the battle began. At first all that could be seen of the fleet was a few lights twinkling over the waters of Guild's Lake. The first Intimation of an approaching engagement between the land and naval forces was the stirring notes of a bugle from Fort Sacajawea. where were stationed Battery A. O. N. 43., Companies I and K, of the Tenth United States Infantry, and the Centen nial Guards. Captain John S. Clark, of the Life-Saving Service at the Exposi tion, had charge of the fleet, and Mayor C. E. McDonnell was in command of the land forces. A few shots were fired from the fort at about 10:30 o'clock, and it was several minutes later before any signs of activ ity could be seen In the fleet which hugged the shore of Guild's Lake. Finally, how ever, the boats steamed out Into the lake. A rocket soared skyward from the flag ship, and the battle was on. The ships filed past the fort, pouring broadsides into It. The fire was returned with vigor with machine guns, cannons and rifles. There were several guns on each of the ships of the fleet. Attack on Fort Sacajawea. Part of the fire from Fort Sacajawea consisted of an elaborate display of fire works, consisting mostly of rockets which burst into colored lights. There were lour vessels in the fleet. All that could be seen of them during the greater part of the battle were the lights on their masts. Occasionally the visitors could distinguish the outlines of the ships when they fired broadsides. The fleet filed past Fort Sac ajawea four times. One battleship, aid ing the defense of the fort, was blown up by a submarine mine. The battle ended by Fort Sacajawea catching fire from the fire of the at tacking fleet The fire ate its way Into the magazine, which resulted In a ter rific explosion, after which the lights were turned on. The -battle ended at about 11:15 o'clock. It is understod that another naval battle will be given the latter part of this month. LOST DIAMONDS ARE RESTORED Writer on Omaha Paper Overjoyed to Get Them. Miss Hlghtower, a. writer on an Omaha paper, and of that city, who is visiting Portbznd and the Exposition, while in the Oregon State building Tuesday after noon removed her diamond rings in the ladles' washroom and left them there. A few minutes later Mrs. George Mlnlelly. of "University Park, this city, accompa nied by her sister. Miss McLeod, of Cram brook, B. C, discovered the rings, and after finding no one among the ladles about the building -who claimed them, handed them In at the secretary's office, but later returned and turned them over to the Police Department in the grounds. It was three hours before the rings were missed. Then Miss Hlghtower returned. to the State building, which was locked, though she succeeded in finding the ma tron of the building, and was advised there was no possible chance of getting the rings except through the Police De partment. She called there and was so flustered at being cross-examined that she could not identify the missing rings, but returned yesterday morning, after a rest less nlht. and secured them. Miss Hlgh tower valued the rings very hlhly. as they -ere --all gifts from close friend. Their intrinsic value was about $400. She was so overjoyed at finding the lost dia monds it made her ill, and she telephoned Mrs. Mlnlelly she -wished her to call and see her. that she might thank her for her kindness.

Airship Goes Back in Wagon. '. The airship Angelus was taken back to its quarters in a wagon yesterday morn ing. Efforts to fix the refractor' propel ler and motor were not successful, and a crowd of several hundred people which gathered at Sixth and Division streets to see the return ascent were disappointed. After several attempts to get the vessel in working order, the gas was let out of the bag and the airship was loaded on a wagon. Repair work was taken up as soon as the Exposition grounds were reached. It was intended to make a special flight to day as a part of Worklngmcn's day, but it is not believed a flight can be made before Saturday. George Tomllnson, the Syracuse Inventor and aeronaut, expects to make a competitive flight with his craft, the Gelatine. This vessel is very much like the Angeles, except that It is considerably smaller. Tomllnson expects to go up in his craft next week. EITHEB JSKS COMPROMISE RAILROADS AND SCALPERS CONTEST TO FINISH.

' HOLIDAY FOR THE TOILERS Many Employers Give Workmen Holiday and Admission Tickets for Themselves and Wives to Celebrate Day. . The Lewis and Park Exposition takes its hat off to the men who labor today. From the opening until the clqslng gates the worklngmen will dominate the entire Exposition, for today has been set aside by the management for their es pecial benefit and entertainment. If you are not a man who tofls. who subsists by the "sweat of the brow," you will not be In the swim at the Exposition today. To Insure a large attendance and in recognition of the worklngmen the ad mission rate to the Exposition has beon reduced to 25 cents and children 10 cents. This reduction is extended to all classes, no discrimination being shown by the management, but If you are really desir ous of enjoying yourself, be a working- man, or, at the very best, wear one of their badges. I Every possible courtesy -will be shown the worklngmen and their families by the Exposition management. The attractions on the Trail are arranging special shows' for their entertainment. Captain Bald win's airship, "Angelus," will make an ascension for the worklngmen at 2 o'clock In the afternoon If the weather Is favora ble. Interest of the visitors to the Exposition today is expected to center at the Govern ment exhibit. The worklngmen have an opportunity of visiting the Exposition on Sunday, but then the Government build ing Is closed, which is one of the most important features of the entire Exposi tion. At nlsht all the buUdlngs aro closed, so unless the laboring classes lay off from their work, they cannot see the whole of the Fair. Employes at the Gov ernment building have expressed their intentions of being especially attentive to their work of explaining and exhibiting aU things of interest to the visitors. Many of the most important and largest employing firms of Portland have heartily co-operated with the Exposition manage ment in helping the worklngmen to make their day successful. Some of them have not only given their employes a holiday, but have provided them with tickets to the Exposition grounds. Others have given their employes a half-holiday. The following are a few of the repre sentative firms of Portland that have pro vided a holiday- of at least a portion of the day: Goodyear Rubber Co., W. P. Fuller Co.. W. B. Glafke & Co., Mason, Ehrman & Co.; Lang & Co., Zan Bros., John Clark Saddlery Co., Jones Cash Store. Wadhams & Kerr Bros, and Flelschner. Mayer & Co. have given their employes a holiday and provided them with tickets. Tickets for their wives arc provided for those who are married. Rcar-Admlral Clark Invited.

Tantalum Lights Shown. A new feature was added to the Mining building yesterday in the .chape of Tan talum lights. The lights are So-candle power, with a voltage of 110. An element of Interest is added to them by the fact that tantalum is said to exist in Idaho, and Dr. David T.

He should have assisted in l tracking down the big thieves instead of having become a little one. The speaker, then turned to -r. Ben nett and his previous statements about the land grabbers who were not being indicted, and explained that Pillsbury,' and Montgomery, the two mentioned, were both dead. He further charged that Mr. Bennett knew the men to have been dead when he made the speech. He ex plained the fact of Krlbs not having been Indicted by saying that he had so stated the case at a- former trial that Mr. Ben nett could make no reply. Bennett's Appeals to Court. Continuing" Mr. Heney attacked the attorney for the defense until he could stand It no longer and appealed to the court, contending that the argument was improper ana witnc-ui. iounaauon. cut i nave no ngnt to ten you aoout i this Krlbs matter," said Mr. Heney, "or -what It was. Mr. Bennett says he wishes h a rlht to tclj you how x to be here I wish he had. I wish he had and I wish I had a right to reply to it; and then I wish I had a right to toll you how Mr. Bennett comes to be here how he broke Into these cases, and why. Mr. Bennett says that If he even owned any Government land he would be afraid. I wonder If he is afraid! I wonder if he has owned Government land: I wonder if he owns some In sixteen, nineteen. Just below this sheep ranch I wonder If it was obtained from the Government by fraud; I wonder if he Is afraid that at some time another Grand Jury might be here, and he might, be Inquired into; I wonder If that is the reason he Is try ing" Mr. Bennett Interrupted the speaker: "I object to this as improper argument, and absolutely no foundation tor it whatever," he -said. "I think so," said Judge De Haven. Comes Back to Earth. "Well." replied Mr. Heney," I will quit wonderlnsr. and come back to earth again." Mr. Biggs next came under the lash of the prosecutor, who argued that all xiausen oy cissa um uui utnc yuv.c The speaker contended that Biggs had come to the ofllce of the District At torney wanting to give his testimony to the grand Jury, but that he had got cold comfort, and that there had been no desire on the part of the Govern ment to "throw him back into the river" to use him as a Government witness. Kcverts to Bennett's Insinuation. The Bpeaker came back again to the subject of Mls3 Vanderpool and stated that the questions asked her by him showed that he had heard from a source he considered reliable that Judge Ben nett had asked her to say that she did not remember in answer to questions put to her upon the stand. Mr. Bennett objected to the remark as outside the' testimony, and the court asked Mr. Heney to confine his remarks to the record. Continuing; Mr. Heney read a part of the testimony of the witness in ! which he had asked her. If she had not t V.onn tt1A tiv "f r- "Rnntf nnt to answer questions put to her. or at least to say she did not remember, and to which the witness had testified that she had never been told so or had told anyone that she had. "2ow if, as a. matter of fact, she dldj.asd tha dfn tell that to others." said Mr. Heney. 'as a matter of law, I could not con tradict her, because she was my wit ness, and I was bound by er answers, 'ow, the time she was being asked those questions Is the time that Mr. Bennett, as I think you will recollect, showed his great agitation. He has tried to explain that agitation on an other theory, but I want to recall to your mind that the time that he showed the agitation was when she was being asked those questions. Now, why should he be agitated? Because, If Mr. Bennett did take that Govern ment witness down there and tell her to make those answers, Mr. Bennett' was guilty of an offense against this court. Should Be Disbarred. "Mr. Bennett was in a position where he could be disbarred from practice. Mr. Bennett was in a position where he could be punished by law. And he tells you that he is about as easily scared as Van Gesner when he knows that I am in the case. I suppose he mean's that, when he knows that any man Is In the case who Is not afraid to do Is duty, and who will do it re gardless of persons." Mr. Heney continued with testimony ofMiss Vanderpool and showed that he had askedier questions to show that she had known the defendants since childhood in order to explain to the Jury why she was an unwilling wit ness. He called especial attention to the fact that he had asked her If she was not acquainted with "Bisrsrs and his wife," and that he had nut he question as he had In order to avoid any wrong construction. He contended that had there been the least breath of Impu-'ty the court would have stopped him In his re marks and would have called him to account for the breach. He called to mind that the court had stopped Mr. Bennett from Insulting one of the Gov ernment witnesses while on the stand, and he argued that the defendants attorneys had hatched the scheme to blacken the Government's case cold bloodedly and upon reflection. Bennett's Charge Insult to Court. "Now. when this charge is made by both Mr. Bennett and Mr. Wilson that I asked a question that carried with It the Inti mation that they say it does," continued Mr. Heney. "that Is, a charge1 that this court interfered to protect a man witness on the stand and failed to do Its duty to interfere and protect a young coun try gil"! who was upon that stand now, nothing more 13 necessary on that score than to state that simple fact. If His Honor had entertained the slightest suspicion that there was any sucn Intimation in any question I asked, you know how promptly I would have been rebukeJ, as I ought to have been, and you also know how prompt Mr. Bennett Is with his objections. He didn't hesitate a moment ago to ob ject to protect himself he didn't like the talk that was being made about himself, and he objected promptly; and yet he would have you believe he sat there, the friend of that young lady, and heard that vile insinuation made, and he sat silent he sat silent! with the cowardice of a craven if it Is a fact he sat silent and did not Inter fere, and permitted me to go on and permitted that insinuation to remain lp the minds of this Jury over nigh? Ah! It won't do. Terms It Vile Slander. "It was the over-night part of it, during .which that vile slander was originated in the minds of the two attorneys who suggested it to this Jurj. after they saw this examination In cold print they saw where one question, here could be twisted Into 'it sort of a meaning, and they came to this court and both of them cast iiat slanier upon that young lady to save tnemseives irom tne mierence properly deduclble from the evidence in this case. What do you think of It?" "Now. then. I am not going over this for the purpose of criticising this young woman for having given this testimony. I have no criticism to make of the young lady. My criticism is all directed at the men who would use a young lady for that purpose, that Is what It is aimed at the men who would take your daughter under the same circumstances, gentlemen of the Jury, or the daughter of any one of you. and because of her long iriendsnip, ana because they had known her for years, would induce her to come and make such a spectacle of herself. It 13 not she that I complain of; I complain of the men. They say that they are making a man's fight I say that they do not make it in a manly way according to my standard of manhood." Says Bennett Misstated. M. Heney showed that he had asked Mis Vandernool if she had had a talk with "Williamson, or Bennett, or any other nersons at the Imperial Hotel." and that it was in the answer of the wit ness, who had stated that she had met them In their rooms. He had not asked the Questions as Bennett had said he had He read the testimony and then arraigned the men who had brought forward the suggestion of evil Intent on his part. "Now: you all heard It," he said; "you all knowthat it was as innocent a ques tion as ever came from the Hps of child years old. and you all know that no auch construction was placed upon it by a single living person in this room at the time; and particularly that sucn con struction was not put there by 3lr. Ben nett or bv Mr. Wilson, because you all know that they would have resented it and Jumped at a resentment or it witn the hope that they could prejudice this Jury against me if they had thought of it. But thev didn't think of It in time; they went home and slept over It. and they nme back here, and alter having cola bloodedly thought over it and planned it. thev came into this courtroom and com mitted that evil slander against a young woman, and would charge me with It throughout this state. Fllngr Charge In Their Faces. "And I fling the charge back in their faces, and say that if I did say that in the way that they imply. I am unfit to be taken by the hand by any man in the State of Oregon; and I say that If I did not say it in the way I am charged, the men who could go home arid sleep over it and come back into this courtroom and attempt to poison the minds of the people of the State of Oregon because they did not have a hope to poison tne minds of this Jury, mind you are unfit to be taken br the hand by any decent man in the State ot Oregon from now until the day of their death." Following his argument, Mr. Heney took up the contention that Ernest Starr and other witnesses bad been tampered witn and showed that there was reason to be lleve such was the case. He con tended that Williamson was the man who had planned the conspiracy charged, and argued that, while it might be natural for a man alter the struggle of a political campaign to go back to his old home to J meet Ills Ola inenaa ui uie moment 01 ms success, yet it was not natural for him to forget the visit. The entire course of the evidence was scanned, and the Dls trict Attorney closed his argument short time before noon, when court was adjourned until 2 o'clock, at which time Judge De Haven gave his charge to the Jury ana submitted thecase to It. The charge was substantially the same as in the first trial of the case, and was considered fair by both the proaecutloa MILLION MARK IS NOW PASSE Attendance at the Exposition Reaches an Enormous Figure. TAKES SIXTY-THREE DAYS That Is the Time Required for the Admissions at the Fair Gronnds to Attain Such Gigantic Proportions. ADMISSIONS. 27,420. The admissions department reports the attendance at the Exposition yesterday at 27.420. The pessimists, the knockers and the timid now have to acknowledge the fact that the Lewis and Clark Exposition is an assured success, as last night the total admissions reached and passed the million mark, the admissions to date being 1.013, 551. The management hardly anticipated that the long-looked-for million mark would be reached before Thursday night. However, the attendance Sunday. Mon day and iTuesday was good, and the ad missions last night exceeded all previous estimates, bringing the admissions up to the desired figures. Yesterday was one of the biggest days at the Exposition, the attendance being 27.426. The admissions during the morning and afternoon were excep tionally good, and at night the people were attracted to the sham battle by the thousands. There was quite a crush at the main gate of the Exposition, but the congestion was only temporary. The Ex position management did not anticipate an enormous Increase In admissions for the night because of the sham battle, and no additions were made to the force of ticket sellers, as Is usually the case on big days. Their calculations proved to be Incorrect, for as early as 7 o'clock at night a large crowd had assembled In front of the gates. By 8 o'clock the plaza In front of the main gates was covered by one mass of people. Several tlcket-sellera were pro cured as soon as the extent of the crowd was seen, and the congestion relieved in short time. Increases the Attendance. The sham battle was directly instrumen tal In carrying the attendance so far above the million mark, although it would nave Deen passea yestcraay with an aver age day, as only 13.S75 admissions were needed. While It took a Utile over two months for the attendance to reach 1.000. 000. It is expected that 2,000,000 will be passed within five or six weeks at the utmost. The experience of all expositions has been that the attendance during the last two months Is by far the heaviest. The attendance at the Lewis and Clark Exposition Is steadily but surely advan cing, on some days the attendance Is IJght. owing to the absence of special event, but taken on an average It Is de cidedly on the Increase. Before the opening of the Fair there were some people who predicted dire fail ure for It, saying that the total attend ance would hardly be more than a mil lion. It Is now conservatively estimated by those who have kept In close touch with the Exposition that the total attend ance for the entire 4& monhs will not be less than 2,500.000, and more likely 3.000.0CO. The Exposition officials are greatl pleascd with the results, and say that the million mark was passed sooner than they expected by several weeks.
