THE NATION'S HEROIC DEAD. nicn Omaha Pays Them the Tribute Their Valor Won. MEMORIAL™ DAY CELEBRATED. Procession and Services—Flower and Flag Bedecked Graves. Memorial Day. 2t was Memorial day. All over a broad continent loyal hands scattered flowers over the resting places of buried heroes: millions of loyal hearts throbbed responsive to the patri- otic sentiments of eloquent tongues; from thovsands of churches, great and small, in crowded city and quiet country hillside and valley, incense of prayer and song commem- orative of the doeds of our noble army of the dead rose heavenward. In many homes in every city, town and hamiet, grief for the dead was tempered by the thought of the glorious inheritance pur- chased by the blood of those whose mem- ories the day perpetuntes. In Omaha the air seemed laden with the spirit of the day, und in the forenoon a semi- sabbath stillness had fallen on the streets. clear, cool uir, the light breeze and warm sunshine all conduced to a fitting observance. Public business was for the most part sus- pended, and the pretty dresses of nordes of school children, lluucrmg flags und decorated store fronts transformed tha every day aspect ‘of the streets to that of a quiet holiday. THE PARADE. * An Imposing Array of Both Civic and Military Socteties. DAt 8 o'ciock tae various committees appointed for the purpose, met at the hall of Custer post on Douglas street, and praceeded to the various cemeteries in car- riages accompanied by eight wagon loads of flowers furnished by the school children. The flowers had been twined into beautiful and symbolical designs and these comprised samples of all kinds of the carliest of the Bscason, The decorations about the city were not only lavish, but bunting was generally dis- played by the principal stores and the na- tions colors floated from nearly every flag- stafl. The horse, cabie and motor cars were decorated with flags, as were also many pri- vate conveyanc As early as 12:30 o'clock the streets be- came more than usually hvely, and at the appointed rendezvous the societies intending 10 take part in tho procession began to make their appearance, Marshal Clarkson with his aides formed the line in a most systematic manner, and at 1:30 o'clock, the hour aunounced for the moving of the column, the command to march was given. The procession moved in the order heretofore published. AT THE OEMETERIES. Flowers and Fiags Decorating the Herocs' Resting Places. ‘The cemeteries visited were Prospect Hill, Forest Lawn, Holy Sepulchre, Hebrew, St. Mary’s, in all of which a number of patriots lie. In Prospect Hill, the familiar resting place for muny of the illustrious dead of Omaha, presented a particularly interesting and animated scene. It was alive with people. ‘The avenues were thronged. At intervals devoted survivors bent over the grave- mounds, placed upon the surface some flow- ering plant and then smoothed the loam with the caressing tenderness of a mother ad- justing the covering of an ailing child. Lit- tle American flags fluttered in the breeze,the brilliancy of the colors standing out in strik- ing contrast with the sombre surroundings and pature of the place. These little tributes, which spoke volumes, had been ll,llot!d thore in the morning by Sexton M. R. ‘who has in mind the location of qvery soldier’s grave in this great cometery. 'They directed the footsteps of the decorating com- mittee und pointed out to the casual visitor, the spot which to-day, of all days, is indeed’ hallowed ground. Iu the wooded part of the cemetery lie en- tombed most of the veterans. Thesun rarely reaches their graves. Occasionally, how- ever, it sends in a Beam of light through the interlacing branches as if making an effort, in turn, to let the radiance of heaven itself beuln upon each lowly bed. In the south- part of the cemetery, where mlhedrnl gloom does not prevail, the green- sward well mowed, the high grasses which the southern zephyrs kept in constant bil- lowy action, presented a most inspiring m}m\,l Here, however, there are fewer diers buried, though some of them were among the bést known 1n life in the com- munty. Tix Ber man in his walks among the he- roes noted thd graves of u number of cele- brated soldiers, each with monuments and graves appropriately bedecked with gar- ands and bouquets. Among them were the ruves of Senator Hitchcock, Major Thorn- B. Cuming, Colonel William Bau- mer, Dr. Robert McClellan, William Mc- Clellan, ‘Watson B. Smith' and General blrkklnm\ the last mentioned being elab- orately ornamented with wreaths and other floral emblems. AT HOLY SEPULCHRE. About a dozen soldiers lie in this home for the dead, prominent among whom are the late General George M. O'Brien and Gen- eral John O'Niell, the graves ol both of whom were most beautifully decorated. BPECIAL DECORATION®, The E. M.

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. company es Myors, Wiltiam | "D, Second D, Ninth; Robert Jon, the Grounds and Appeare; The beautiful High school grounds pre- sented a very picturesque sceae long beforo the arrival of the procession. The weather was charming to a surpassing degree and it looked a8 it all the children 1 the city had How Speotators assembled for an afternocon of merrymaking. They played and romped on the velvoy sward, lounged in the shade of the numerous trees, and mado such a picture of joyous life, of color and lightheartodness as™ one reads of only in fable and fairy story. And the chiidren were not there alone, either, be- cause there were also scores aud scores of fond mammas and watchful nurses, whose holiday attire harnionized well with the mul- tifarious hues of the little ones' gay apparel, and contributed greatly to the beauty of the scene, A platform eighty feot long and eighteen feet wide had been erected along the Dodge street sidewunlk, while a great number of rude benches had been arranged within the grounds facing the stand which were pacied at an early hour with the littlo ones, Tho platfor, which was for the mumodation of the akers and the chor- isters, was gaudily decorated with banners and bunting, lending an additional charm to the alveady ontrancing spectacle, Although the children littlo dreamed of the sa- cred import of the occasion, one could easily perceive that Memorial Day is one in the calender sot uside by them for rollick- ing pleasure and happiness By the timo_ the procession arrived the spacious grounds was packed with a dense mass of people, und with the biare of bands, the flying colors, maneuvers of the soldiers and the excited shouts of the children and plaudits of the older ones the spectac indeed one to be long remembered. At least six thousand people must have been present at the oxcrcises of the day. When they began, the platform was oceu- pied by the speaker und president of the day, the regular army oflicers from the fort, the ladies of the Women's relief corps and others nearly connected with the veteran soldiers. In frontof the platform were a large number of children, and next to them rved for their coun- The Union Pacilic band completed the number of persons within the enclosure. At 2:45 0'clock the exercises bogan. Clurkson, the president of the d; asking for ordor, suid: *'It is a beautifui custom, the setting apart of one day in the year for the kindly remem- brance of the dead of the famly and of the nation. This morning, as early as 3 o’clock, 1 took may way to Prospect Hill cenfetery, and it astonishad me to sce the procession of men, women and children, flower laden, going to that home of the dead to remember their friends. After such a sight with graves marked with little flags and being decorated with flowers, who can »ay, as has recently been said, that this custom ought to be dropped. When these ure our own dead why 1s not the nation’s equally as dear? Four hunared thousand of the strength and vigor of this great country, who lost their lives in the struggle to retain the union, are lying beneats tho sod, and why should not the nation drop & tear and some flowers on those graves! When the haud of time has wiped away the asper- ity petween the north and south, no ‘storied urn or annimated bust' or grand spire point- ing to heaven will be required to perpetuato the memory of those who died for their country’s sake. These graves are the mon- uments of their work. “But my comrades of the Grand Army, this day %o us, is -especially dear. One by by one ave are laying away the old compan- ions of the fieid and bivouac. Soon our time will come. While we stay, let us stand up for the widows and orphans of those who fell in battle or have since been called away. Letus see the heritage we have left our children ina free and united country, may remain as secure for them, so_that fu- ture generations will acknowledge the faitn- ful performance of their ancasters, Then, when the final taps sound for us, we can 1i6 down to rest with a consciousncss that what we have done has been done for the right. It there be a better land than this, and there certainly is, those who have gone, have gone 1o join tue rank and flle of the brave. They have left a few comrades waiting for the summons to the ranks in heaven.” The Rev. T. M. House delivered a very brief prayer, asking the Almighty to biess the comrades of the Grand Army of the Re- public, and to bless the nation.” ‘‘After the bymn, *Our Braves, had been sung by a chorus of fifty voices uader the direction of Prof. K. S, Swith, Major Clark- son introduced the Rev. Henry E. Mott, of Dubuque, 1 This geutleman delivered the address of the day. While the speaker could only be heard by a small number of those present, he talked in a loud, clear tone. His address opened with reference to the battle field of Gettysburg, and as the streams in that vicwmity reverse their course, so that historic battle ground was the turnimi point in the war of the rebellion. When Lea was defeated at that point, he was convinced that the cause was lost. The speaker then spoke of two things the inheritance which the comrades of the G. A. R. had left to them and the des- tiny they should work out for the country. What the nation strove to maintain, speak. ing of the flntJmln! those now living had # right to uphold. They worked out an in- heritance for those nmow living, People should remember the war for the union was right, eternally right; that of the rebellion wrong, eternally wrong. 1t was easy to consider how jealousies become hostilities, God had determined that this land should be one, and oné it remained. The speaker then reforrod to the Roman empire, and spoke of its size as compared with the United States, and 1ts resources, as well as those of nations of the o protont duy, speaking especially of that part lying wost of the Mississippi. Mr. Mott said it was given to every nation a certain moral purpose to work out. The power of s nation is the common ple. It is the common peo- e that think for the nation. The country, f it is going to live, must take up the moral question. Some claimed it was the indus- trial question, but the speaker took the other view, Ambition was the secret of it all. Any man without ambition would never be led to nf&hlnn higher. There was an in- equality in humun life, the speaker main- tained, & fact evidenced not ouly in the »nuu ana build of men, but in their gluhmenll Society had nded Ily arbitrary distinction. Men should do what God 1wtended them to do. Awbition should-be strong n tho commen people, who should remember that a man who could accomplish something that no other man can accomplish was greater than Iuruuu or kings, The campaign for union il bocw fought, but l.hq eawpaign for lib- orty had yet to be fought. The conclusion of the speaker’s address was @ wish for the success of the unioa. At the conclusion of the address the Union Pagitic band played the national air. ‘The usual ritual exercises were conducted by Mr. Burmeister, who made & shorcand appropriute address. A freo stone monument in front of the platform was, aftor prayer by Rey.

LoNDON, May 30.—At the meeting of the Parnell commission to-day the first witness was Arthur O'Connor, member of parlia- ment. He testified that while he was in Indianapolis last yoar General Harrison, now president of the United States, said that every honest man and lover of liberty would rather s’ ro the company of William O'Brien in Tullamore jail than that of the viceroy in Dublin castle. O'Connor said that when he took office in the league, he found many of the books fragmentary and in ar- rears. It was mpossible to do anything with them. He did not know whether the books the government seized during the ad- ministration of Chicf Secretary Forster had been destroysd. Judge Hannan ordered that mquiriessbe made about these books. O'Connor repelled as a calumny the sug- gostion tiyt the tenants had undorstood his aavice to theni‘to boycott landgrabbers as a hint to murder.-or use violence upon them. He admitted saving that it was not unnatu- ral that a man who saw his family flung out on the roadside should shoot the evictor. Justin McCarthy, M. P., was the next wit- ness, He tagtified to the horror and. dismay which the Pheenix Park murders had caused among the Parneilites, George Levris, Parnell’s solicitor, was ox- amined with reforence to the missing books.

A synopsis of the articles composing the treaty, cabled by Mr. Phelps to the sec- retary of state, shows that the American commissioners have secured all that the state department of the government has been con- tending for, all that Secretary Bayard de- manded at the conference held in this city two years ago, and all that Secretary I3laine instructed his commissioners — Messrs. Phelps, Kasson and Bates—to insist upon. Germany and England have had to abandon their pretensions. They started out with a declaration for foreign control and German prepouderance in the government of Samoa. low they have had to accept what this gov- ernmont all along demanded—namely, na- tive preponderance, amounting to autonomy in Samoa, and perfect equality ns between Great Britain, Germany and the United States in their external relations with Samon and the part which they should play in help- ng the natives to mvurn themselves, A Vile A\"nck on Harrison.
