Formal Transfer of Cruiser Amazonas Took Place at Gravesend. Borne Important Concession» to Be Ei- acted of Chinu. Omaha, March 22.—Plans for state Gravesend, England, March 21.—The cruiser Amazonas, built by the Arm strongs for Brazil and purchased by the United States, was formally transferied from the Brazilian flag to the Stars and Stripes shortly after 11 o’clock A. M. The ceremony was simple and dignified, and to the Brazilian officers it was somewhat pathetic. Lieutenant-Commander Col well. Uni ted States naval attache, ac nuip tnied by Ensign Roberts, Assistant Engineer Morris and Consul-General Osborne, arrived on board shortly liefore 11 o’cba'k. The chief officer of tlm coast gnu rd and a number of customs officers, all in uniform, were already on board. Lieutenant-Commander Colwell, salut ing Commander Corres, said: “Captain, I have here a contract of sale to which you were a witness, whereby this vessel is to be transferred to me in behalf of the United States.” Commander Corres replied through an interpreter, saying: “In handing over the ship I desire to say that it is done with the sincere friendship of Brazil.” Colwell, saluting, replied: “In behalf of the United States I thank you for the sentiment.” In the center of a circle of officers of both nations, Colwell then faced the Brazilian flag flying from the cruiser’s stern, and as the officers bared their heads the flag of Brazil was hauled down, after which, facing about with their heads still uncovered, Old Glory was run up. Lieutenant Colwell and the Brazilian officers then shook hands. Great interest was taken in the cere mony, which is said to have been unique in naval history, by which one power transferred a warship to another in the harbor of a thin! power. Several Amerioan flags were hoisted at Gravesend after the Stars and Stripes were unfurled over the Amazonas. After saluting Tilbury fort, the band played “The Star Spangled Banner,” with the crew standing at “attention.” Commodore Howell immediately or dered 60 tens of coal for the San Fran cisco and 300 tons for the Amazonas, which is coaling, and is expected to complete the work Tuesday, when she will go to Holshaven to take on ammu nition. Peking, March 21.—France has formulated the following fresh de mands: That China shall not cedo any por tion of the four provinces, Kwang Tung, Kwang Si, Yum Nan and Kwei Chau; that the railway from Tuug I Chau Ting (on the northern frontier of Touquin) shall be extended via Paz, Siam, into the Yun Nan province, and that a coaling station be granted France at Lei Chau Fu, in the Hen Chau peninsula, north of Han Nan. Thus far China declines to comply with any of these demands. Minnesota building, the Arkansas building, the Denver building and the Missouri building. The plans for the : proposed Iowa building meet the hearty upproval of the exposition au thorities. The Illinois building is nearly completed. The Wisconsin 1 building is well under way. The Ne braska building is practically com pleted. The plans for the Denver, or | Colorado building have been accepted, and the contract will be let in a day or two. Plans for the Georgia pine pal ace have been submitted. It will be a handsome structure, built wholly of pine donated by the people of Georgia. The Minnesota building will be con structed on similar lines of unhewn logs. Plans for the Oregon building are now being drawn, and will be submit ted next week. Other states send as surances that plans for their state buildings will be forthcoming within a short time. It is highly probable that the states of NewYork and New Jersey will construct handsome buildings. Thirty-five states have to date de cided to participate in the exposition. In 80 of these, commissioners have been appointed and reports from agents in the field are to the eSect that at least five more states will be organized within the next ten days. The great government building, 500 feet long, and the pinnacle of whose dome is nearly 200 feet high, is nearly done. The management finds it neces sary to build several annexes to accom modate the extraordinary demand for exhibit space.

THE MAINE REPORT. President Expects to Receive It Within a Short Time. Washington, March 21.—An air of suspense was noticeable in the navy department today, due to the approach of the time for the delivery of the re port of the court of inquiry. It is not known when the document will come to Washington, and in view of the re ports of the determination of outside parties to obtain jKissession of it before the department receives it, the officials, if they know, will not say how the papers are to be brought to Washington. All that is known definitely is that the president has suggested that the report be made as soon as possible, and it is expected to reach this city in the course of two or three days. The cabinet today talked over the matter, and the time stated above was the general opinion of the members when they had heard all that Secretary Long had to report on the subjeot. There is an impression thnt Lieutenant- Commander Marix will bring the docu ment, though it is within Admiral Sicard’s power to choose any other officer. A cabinet officer expressed the belief that the report will require careful con sideration on the part of the president and his cabinet before given to the pub lic, which would seem to postpone its publication to some time about the mid dle of the week, although nothing is certain on that point. The new naval policy, embodied in the creation of another squadron to rendezvous at Hampton roads, was dis cussed at the cabinet meeting at length and received unanimous approval. Every phase of the several questions involved was carefully considered, and it ¡ b believed that very soon after the report is received tho president, possi bly in conjunction with congress, will announce a definite policy. Alliance Talk Unabated. London, March 21. — The Daily Chronicle, in an editorial on the growth of the Anglo-American alliance idea, expresses the conviction that it is only a matter of time, but that it would bo a great mistake to try to rush the movement. It says: “America does not need more help from us now than at any other time. She is superabundantly capable of meeting any situation that may arise. She will have our friendly sympathy and neutrality in the Cuban question, and at this moment it is difficult for us to offer more. It is quite certain that England would never allow the United States to be crushed by a combination of European powers.” Overpowered the Guard. Boise, Idaho, March 21.—A whole sale escape of convicts occurred at the penitentiary at 2 o’clock this afternoon. A gang of 13 men employed in the quarry overpowered the guard and de camped, taking the guard with them | some distance. Two of them returned voluntarily, ami six were captured dur ing the afternoon.

The “barring” of houses representing Leiter was a sign of lack of confidence on the part of the bears. They know that the clique is amply able to pay for all the wheat it takes, but probably they do not wish to add to the incentive which the clique al ready has to run price* up. A rather severe break has occurred in the other options, but aside from the better crop reports from the Bouthwest the news has not been bearish. Foreign markets have been remarkably firm and the con stant purchase of wheat by foreigners at the seaboard bespeaks a genuine de mand. The addition to the contract stock looks bearish, but it must be ad mitted that a very small percentage of the total receipts grades up to the Standard. Some may wonder why Leiter withdrew his support from tho July option. Probably because he an ticipated a hard fight on the May deal, and considered it a foregone conclusion . that a bulge in the May wheat will ; bring the July back into line in a hurry. The crop situation is looming up against the price of deferred futures, and the excellent prospeots are a strong induce ment toward loosening up farmers' holdings and to putting out of line of shorts.
