A Visit to Fort Omaha, to the Bee Building. and an Hospitable Spread at che Union Olub. The New Secretary of War. Yesterday morning at 7:30 o'clock the special train containing Secretary of War Proctor and his party arrived at Gilmore, on the Union Pacific. At that point the secre- tary, General Schofield, General Crook, Gen- eral Proctor, Colonel Barr and Lieutenant Schofield disembarked for the purpose of viewing the several sites offered for the new Fort Omaha, as also a rifle range now located in that vicinity. About an hour was con- sumed in this way, after which the party took a special train for Omaha, The party was accompanied by a reporter for Tue Beg, who asked the secretary how the Bellevue site had impressed him, and, after consider- is always uohappy, if he isn’t getting all the honey.” Then, Mr. Clarke laughed immoderately, but subsided on General Schofield’s remark- ing, a8 he glanced significantly at the re- porte “Well, if Tur Bek doesn't always get all tho honey, it never fails to have somebody around when somebody else is reveling in the sweets.” Again they all laughed. The party reached the Paxton about 10 o'clock, where they met General Drum, General Williams, Licutenant Bliss and Mr. Partridge, secretary to Mr. Proctor, who had preceded them. = An informal recoption took place in which all the noted gentlemen were met by many of the leading citizens of Omaha. Carriages were subsequently taken and a drive to Fort Omaha in which 'a num- ber of local ofticers was taken. The party was received at the fort by onel Fletcher, and a review of the troops of the garrison immediately followed, and still later the fort and quarters were inspected. At 1 o'clocks the distinguished visitors roturned to the city and paid a visit to Tne Bee building under the escort of Mr. K. Rosewater. Mr, Proctor and-his distinguished suite made a thorough inspection of the new structure, visiting each department from the ground flggr to_ the brick roof. All were most lavish and enthusiastic in their expressions of de- light and astonishment at tho magnificence of the building, in its imposig ex- terior, and even to the smallest ae- tail of internal arrangement. 'he hon- orable secretury of war was partic- able deliberation, received the following an- swe 1t is o very nice-looking plece of country, sud would probal not be objectionable if it 1s discovered that a re-location of the fort is necessary or desirable, “You do not feel like enlarging upon the subject, then, Mr. Se cretary 1" *No. I will have to sit down and deliber- ste. There are many things I must consider before expressing mysolf.’ “What is the appropriation made for this purpose!” “Pwo hundred thousand dollars, T think, isn't 1t genoral,” and the secrotary turned to General Brooke, ed the latter, “§200,000, is designated for purchasing vurposes. There are 450 acres in the tract we looked at, and it is held at $145 per acre,” General Crook was also interrogated as to ‘what bis idea of the new site might be, and said that it all looked very pretty, and might look much better if it was improved with buildings, trees, shrubbery, drives, walks, ete: ‘'What do you suppose Mr. Proctor thinks of the location " +Oh, that I wouldn't venture to say. & man who forms his own conclusions, generally divulges them at the proper time.” “How about yourself, gencral—what do you think " “It is pretty well understood what my sontiments are. You huve an excellent plant where tho fort now is. To remove it would entail no good uvon Omaha. The moral effoct of its present site canuot be denied. Do you remember the dump riot we had here io Omabat No. Well, it was the location of the fort that probably saved the city from destruction. I cannot see any necessity for change myself, can you " Of course no opinion was vouchsated. In responss to an inguiry as to his jude- ment on the matter, Ger yral Schofleld sim- ply remarked . “Itis ull very pretty, makes a nice picture, but as yet I haven't un opinion to advance.” Colonel Barr, overhearing the question, volunteered to observe, that he considered the site, as far as nature was concerned, to be heautiful indeed. **Have there been any of the morning papers soot out!” asked General Schofield, and the reporter handed him Tuk Bre. ‘After glancing over it a moment, he ex- claimed, laughingly: “Hello, here's 3 long editorial this business " *1s that 801" asked General Hrooke we glance atit, general.” and General § fiold handed hiw tho paper. He plunged into the editorial with an evi- dent eagernoss, yuickly breaking out. »And yes, genvral," turuing to Sohofield, “they say that we have corralled you to help us out.” “Then they all smiled audibly, and Mr. Clarke ventured 13a1 you know, gentlomen, that Taz Bus He's ‘forninst’ ularly profuse in his praise, pronouncing the structure one of the handsomest and most superb he had ever seen. He ascended to the roof, and spent some fiftcen minutes or more there with General Brooke, enjoy- ing the exhilarating scene environing this lofty observatory panorama—a perfect our lovely city and its surroundings for miles around. Mr. Rosewater was repeat- edly congratulated upon the uniform ele- gance of every detail of Tie Bee building, Gonerals Schofield and Williams joined with the rest of the party in its apprecia- tion of the structure, and wore of the samo mind that the army headquarters in it were much finer than those now occupied in the Pullman building in Chicago. Colonel Henry was delighted with the roof and ro- marked that he could camp upon it, and General Brooke said that it was large enough to enable him to drill troops upon 1t. The visit of Secretary Proctor and party brought together @ number of old compan- ions in arms, the meeting of which was the occasion of much pleasure. L, of K'remont, who was an orderly during the war. came to the city especially to moet him, Major John W, Barriger, chief commissary of subsistauce in the Depart- ment of the Platte, was chief commissary to General Schofield during the war, General Williams, who was located here about six yoars ago, was met by a number of old friends and welcomed on his fleeting visit. Genoral Drum says that Omaba is the best uved city in the “country, better eveu than v\'ulhmglun, because, while there it is all as- phalt, hero there is a large quantity of dur- able stone pavement. Returning to the carriages the visitors were escorted to the Union club where another informal reception k pluce, This was followed by a maguificent bauquer, at which seventy leading citizons were present. At its conelusion D orge L. Miller, on behalf of the elub, shook hands with the socretary and said that ue was no stranger to them. His reputation had preceded him and the sound and solid set of wostorn men, gathered to_do the secretary honor, gave him a most hoarty welcome and wished him God speed. cretary Proctor thanked everyone very much for the kind aud hearty recoption ac- corded, nnd went on: - “My companions bere who have do- voted their lives to the service of the country, and won such great distinotion, may well have accepted such a grecting as persooal fn its nuture. 1 cannot as far as [ sm concerncd, but I take this mark of res- to an officer of the government asan evidence of your patriotism, and I thank you in thut spirit.

The bi-annual session of the grand lodge, commencing at Hastings, Tucsday, will elect ofticers and effect some minor changes in the by-laws governing the grand and sub- ordinate lodges of the state. The committee on laws has not recommended auny radical alteration of existing statutes and none is expected. The business to come before the graud lodge will probably require two or three days of attention. James W. Carr and S. R.

A prominent member gave it as his opinion that a few changes in the laws would be made, but that in all probability revision would cover the work of the session in that direction, The committee in charge of the reception and entertainment of the supreme lodgo met Friday in the oftice of Dr. S. R. Patten, and made progress in the work. In Tue Bee for April 14 appeared an arti- cle signed *lowa Workman,” written in the interest of the suspended organization of the A. 0. U. W. in Iowa. ‘The article, very properly, starts out with an apology, and after calling attention to the fuct that uch had been said on both sides of the A. O. U.
