Since then she hus recuperated and 18 now really only eightecn years old, and you, senators, and you, people from abroad, everywhere in this country, cannot deny your pride that such a thing occurred undor tho beneign influenco of this great country.

Remember that th young giant of the test is constructing a grand waterway, to the southwost; that she has ~undertaken that stus pendous work, and will any man from St. Louis or from this beautiful capital city suy that a city that is able to cope with and to find the means to carry on that work shall be st uside in her claims for this great exposition Continuing, Mayor Creiger said he had rocated all the expressions of fraternity that had been made, “Mr. Depew had d clared that in July and_August peopie went w New York for = coolness; thoy did to Chicago, |Laughter!

Bryan was the next After referring in a humorous man ew York's claims and to Mr. Depew he proceeded to argue that of all the lurge aties Clicago had the most comfortablo and pleasant climate, aud that she had unequalled rail facilities and accommodations. No other city was equally accessiblo alike for the bulk of exhivitg and for visitors. The gentle- men from New York coula make beautiful pictures of their cities, while the poor Chi- ©ago people must content themselves with Iding a shaft of truth and a pedestal of 1 Could any honest, fair-minded, dis- passionato man say that the sito selectea by New YOrk was a proper site, or was it a dernier resort? ‘I'ie truth was that the site ‘was not the right location for the world's faur. It had physical obstructions. It was unseen, It would requiro a vast ex- penditure of money to pull down the build- ings. 1t would require largo sums to blast its rocks. It required dynamite to blow up the coustitution of the state in order that it might be occupied. Chicago had thousands of ucres at the disposal of the fair, not a house to buy, not a cubic yard to level. Throughout the length and breadth of the land thero could not be found ny city of adequate resources and population that could present 1o the United tes congress such plans and such adaptability ot ground for the purposes of the grand exposition s could the city of Chicago.

Therc —was beautiful scenery around he grauted, 80 was there beautiful seenery to be viewed from the top of Pike's peak. Ho had spoken to the farmers of the country and they had complained that they had been treated abominabiy at every exnibi tion held at New York. New York had al$ lowed centuries to pass without a suitable recognition of agriculture. The farmers of the country by an overwhelming majority wanted Chicago, and when be said ibis he spoke advisedly. The agricultural jour- nals wanted the fair in Chicago be- cause in the magnificence of New York's appropriation it hud approoriated ten acres for the agricultural exhibit. Why, one single, high mettled animal of the west would paw the earth and snort his contemt at such a pitiable appropriation. Ten acres for the vust domain of America, South America and Mexico as well. Ten acres, |Loughter| and the great mijority of the people of Europe agreed with the great mujority of the people in this country and said Chicago, New York owed nine- tenths of her greatness to the west. To be sure, she had sent her money 10 us, but she . had got a high interest for it, and it had been returned to help fill, her coffers. Her merchunt warine had been made glorious by the products of the vast western empire. “I'he dependence of the west upen New York was nothing as compared with the de- pendence of New York upon the west. In the interest of the eutire country Chicazo ‘was for the west and the west was for Chi- cago. The world's fair would be a curse o New York and maoy New Yorkers know it because they had told him so. |Laughter. | "The gentlemen knew in their hearts that it ‘would be a curse, because New York was unequal to theoccasion, The capacity of her rouds and hotels was alrendy overtuxed. He pleaded not for Chicago, but for the west, for the miner, the agriculturist, the manufac- turer, the lumberman. The west had a claim. It was her turn. She bad waited patiently and long.'" Referring .to Depew's speech, Bryan said Depew never opened his mouth but that he revealed a rich casket of goms of wit and wisdom, but us they rolled out this morning he wished they could ve cut into blocks of marble and then the Goddess of Liberty might have a pedestal soouer *and hor eyes would not grow weary waiting for the promised Washiogton triumphal arch and the Grant monument [Laughter|. There was one thing New York lackea that Chi- cago had, she lacked public spirit and public spirit was the concentration of patriotisu, E.

The first reqoisite was the fiuuncial basis and be presented the certificate of the executive committee certifying that £5,000.000 hud been subscribed to the aid of the enterprise. He had prepared alist ofthe estimuted receipts and expenditures of the exposition showing the receipts from the snbscription sales of privileges, admissions, sule of material after the close of the exposition, ete., to the amount of about §14,000,000; expeoditures the same; bulldings and preparations of the grounds, $7,000,000; administrative and other expenses, §4,000,000; contingent +fund, §4,000,000. As regards the site he proceeded to direct the attention of the committee to the exient of Chicego and the number of parks which wight be utitized for the proposed fair trating bis statement by frequent reférenco 20 a map.

Over nine hundred ucres wore in Juckson and Washington parks, within half a wile of each other, and covnected. He spoke of the great uumber of railroads, twenty-four, centering in Chicago and haying their terminals there and said no other city in the world had within its limits such & complete, well connsoted, com- prehensive tem of railroad communion- tion, Jeffrey spoke of the ability of Chivago mechanics and artisans to manage the work and mentioned that 1o 1880 buildings had been constructed in Chicago that ocoupied & sireet frontuge of fifty-five wil He gave statis regarding the immense business done in Chicugo in flour, grain, live stock, ete, sud declared Chicago was the head- q:‘nllurl of the greatest steel rail milisn the world.

Mr. Jeffrey spoke of the great agricultural and other wealth of the states surrounding Chicago As to Dopew's suggostion that forelen ex- hibits woula not be sent to Chicago or St. Louis, he aeciared as a railronder of thirty years' experience that foreign exhibits could be transvorted just as well from the Atlantic senboard to Chiongo as the wives and chil dren of American oitizens could be trans- ported over the same tracks from Chicago to New York. He had not found 1 Europe any objection on the part of exhibitors to go to Chicago. Ahey had, in fact, said more of the goods they sold are sold in' tho territory near Chieago than near Now York, Wash- ington or St. Louis, and they wish to reach the people they trade with. TROUBLE BETWHEN TEXANS, Attorney General and Land Comnis- sioner Have a Wordy War, AvsTiN, Tex., Jan, 1i.—|Special Telegram to Tme Bee|—Bad blood has existed for months between Attorney General Hogge and Land Commissioner Hall and lotters between thom yesterday and today have given grounds for rumors of a duel betiveen 4he two gentle- men, Yesterday Mr, Hall wrote a | reply to General Hogg, in which he w sarcastic, and intimated that the judicial de- tment of Texas was grossly ignorant of the land laws of the state, The nttorncy general was greatly incensed at the tone of the letter and in reply today used this lan guure: “The expression in your letter that seems (o be intentionaily porsonal can, doubtiess, with mich propriety, be left un- noticed in this, an ofi document, such being beyond oMcinl scope. 11 they are in- they and demand of your personal pleasure and incli- nation for adjustment,” ‘T'o this Mr, Hall has written another sar- castic letter, in which he pointedly suggests that the attorney general is intermeddling in affairs that ao not concern him, and he winds up by saying thav the official correspondcnos about the subject in the controveray is ended vy himself forever. He leaves the inference that other correspondence, not official, may be indulged, and the city is full of rumors of a dificuity or duel between the two gentle- men. The affair grows out of the issuance of patents to the Houston & Texas Central railivay in spite of a protest from the attor- ney general, - e RACE HORSBES URE Bell Boy, Valued at $100.000, Among the Vict n VersaLies, Ky, Jan. 11L.—The stables be- longing to Lacy , Brothers buarned this morning at 4 o'clock, destroying thirty five out of thirty-cight horses, Among those burned was the horse Bell Boy that was sold here at auction by Jefferson & Seamun to J.

Gossip Avout the Polo Players. The polo teams are putting up some great games at the Coliseum every Tuesday and F'riday evenings, and Manager Prince says the time the season is over the winning team will be able 0 go against any polo team in the counmry. The beauty of polo, like baseball, is that you can never tell who will win until the last rust is made, und then 1t is quiet in action aud exciting from start to finish. There wiil be a challenge gawme, it is now settled, at the end of the season, betwecn the Omaha champions and the winners of the New England league penuant for the champlonship of America. So far, the Wheel club team 1s leading, but each team has twelve more games to play, and it would be hard to name who will take the flag. The Continentals, who defeated the - BIuffs in their last game, have made great improve- ment and will yet make a strong bid for first place. The prizes are $250 for the first out, 3150 to the second and $100 to thied, in addi- tion to the Coliseum siiver cup, Big long Cawp, the Ramblors' goal tend, is a dandy, while Rhodes, first rush of the Wheel club, is hard to beat. Little Tean, goal tend of the Continentals is muother good one. Its like driving the Dball through a stone wall to et it in his cage. Prince siays his “Blooming Ramblers” are atthe tail end, but just wait until the home~ streteh is reached and then watch them come down toward the wire, The Mol must geta move on them or they will get the flag, that is, in the neck. T'ne Council Bluffs team say they will mwke it merry for the Wheel club next Tuesday evening, or die in the attempt. Chess Club Tourney.

SR JTURES FOR CANADA." The Subject of an Intercsting Ad- dress By Erastus Wimaon, Loxnox, Ont., Jan, 11.—|Special Telegram to Tur Bre|—Erastus Wiman addressed a meeting here this evening under the auspices of the Young Liberal club. His subject was the ““Threc I'utures for Canada.” These he defined as continued colomulism, annexation or an independent republic. The speaker believed that if an arraogement could be made between the United States and Canada or commercial freedom Great Britain might continue to hold part of her e pire on the North American continent. 1f however, anncxation were deemed desivable, it could sooner be brought about by a com- mercial arrangement between the two tries than by a policy of pressure, and judifferentism, ~Annexation in had been made a disloyal bugbear a mock sentim had with features unattrs but upon examinatjor, would be found to the most. desirabia chara cter. It was one of the noblest henitages to an American citizen, and the child bornjin the United States, to succeed o achjevments of the present gea- eration, had passibilities of a happier futu than the child: born in any oth land under the sun. Generous in their instincts, unspwted in their welcome, progressive, iulelligent and successful, there is no people with whow it would be' more desirable to be ussociated. no nation to whom it would be more honorable to bo joined. But annexation wgs hot a question for us to decide, but for, pur children and for their children. Mr, Wiman maintained that_the growth of the annexution sentiment i Cans ada had _been promoted by a discussion of the possibilities of'a commercial union, out that as a practical force in politics 1t wonld take twenty-ive' ‘years to clect twenty-five mewmbers of purliament of 250 1 favor of a separution from ‘Great iritain, An inde- pendent natioualit§'was much more attrac ive, and there was no'feason why the young Canadians should not look forwurd to a great republio in perfect har- mony with “the United States, Mr. Wiman said that the whole questiot of the success of Canada must be decided in this, the lust decade of the present century. At the general election to be held with eignteen monthsthe question, 1f vut squarely before the people. - would result n the triumph of the liberal party, who had adopted as the sole plank in their platform restricted trade relations. Should congress early express its readiness to incet this overture, no power on earth conld prevent & practical union for all commercial purposes. e R 1) STHRE coun- isolation Canada which clothed which be of MRS, FOsT VIEWED.

The viscissitudes of the last Iowa clection caused some apprebension umong the prohibitionists of that state that the prohibition law might bo rcpealed.

Some such a trio of words tola the distinctive point to be emphasized in connection with a brithant party of yo gentlemen who sat some happy hours wway ot bangueting boards that were spread nid the tapestries of tho Omaha club last night “There were the Hon, as u 8pe J.

M weath, Louis Greve, Paul Horbach, J. W, Ball. G. W. Megeath, 3 On February 2, 1859, these representatives of an houorabie, sturdy, yet gifted heritace organized unaer the nawe of Sons of Omaha, for the purpose of perpetuating, by ap annual banquet, tho merm —~thosn fortune-favored honors which gave them birth in Omaha, and thus move a spell of friendship which in later years has mude them, in many a sense, true brothers. Eight o'clock was thie hour when the very mauly, chivalrous varty of old-young friends took seats at the tables—aud what tables they were! Conscrvatories aud tropics had been drawn on for the choicest and rarest among their yield of fruit and floral g which with true grace were builded into nigh pyramids that gracefully ridged the long, snowy tables as they wound about in hoiseshoe ‘sumblance and bordered with smilax. ‘The menu was as follows: Blue Points. Celery. Consomme, a ln Imperativo, Amontillado. Salmon, a la Chambord. Potatoes Duches, Sauterne. IMilets Mignons, a la Ferroy. CassoleTtos Maiutenon, <« cau Leville. Roman Punch. Roust Quail, Larded, au Crosson, Muniav's Iixtra Dry, Lobster Salad. Diplomet Pudding, Champagne Sauce. Coffee. Crackers. Cheese. Fruit. When cigars were lighted, President rick arose and announced in his jovial way that the flow of soul would take the place of the fiowing bowl. He then procecded to speak brieily of the organization of the club, coneluain y reading aletter of regret from Dr. George L. Miller, who found it impos- sible to be prosent, Mr. Patrick proposed three cheers for the doctor, and they were given with heartiness. ~In Sitting down, the speaker mentioned that A. J. Povpleton’ had been invited as. A “big gun’’ speaker, but had disappointed the party—and for a reason unknown, However, Mr. Patrick said that he took greut pieasure 1n the fact that the Hon. J. Sterling Morton was preseat and would ad- dress the company later. In the meantime, as a starter, he would spring Editor General Hiteheock. Mr. Hitchcock began with the statement that Omaha is located on the west bunk of the Missouri river. Iic thought thut it would be materially beneficial — and was indeed probable—if there would be many houscholds in the club by another auniversary day. There had been some home householas added since the organization, and the speaker referred 1o Will Hamilton and Lou Grebe to substantiate his statement. In conclusion, Hitcheock told a story of a gertain patriotic Bostonian who died many a mile from howme and had inscribed upon his tombstone, *'I Am From Boston,” The speaker said that when he died he wanted upon his tombstone, “I Am From Omaba,” William S. Pobpleton was called on, sud said he hoped 1t would be many a long before the “Sons of Omaha ' forgot, every second Saturday in Jauuary, to gather round the banquet board and have the happiest of times. He had iearned that the librarian of the club was collectiug historical matter for the club, He had been snown ono of the proofs of the catalogue, and at the very top he read, *‘Nebraska was discovered in 1541 by Jumes W. vidiwe,” Laughter followed, and the speaker added: ““The Sons of Omaha veli neither in_anarchy, theosovhy or prohibition.” ~And Mr, Poppleton took his seat amnd still greater laughter. 1n a few carefully selected, practical words, Mr. Lather Kuhus responded to the wust, ‘‘Relics of Omaha.” He spoke of sev- eral old landmarks, referred to the day when “Seven strong horses could not draw a loaded wagon through the town,” and in ¢clos- ing expressed confidence that Omaha's fu- ture would continue to grow brighter and more prosperous. Mr. Sutphen, being called to his feet, said that he had been suffering with the grip. and badn’t the least idea what he was going o say. He was particularly happy to stite that he was uliead of wany of those present in one thing. = He had a son of Omaba, und he hoped thut when his son was old enough to uttend banguets, especially one of the Sons of Omahu, there would have to be an Auditorium in Omaba to hold them in. Everybody applauded this sentiment most heartily, und NMr. Sutphen closed with some reminiscenses of the times when he “‘used to sport occasionally,” and advised all present to “'get a move on them- selves aund ‘“arrange for more Sons of Omauha.” In introducing the next speaker President Patrick said he was happy to say thut all the Hons of Omalia present were reasonably well 1 80 far as business was concerned. There was one who was employed by a gigantic corporation, and did bis work well, This gentleman was particalarly fond of electricity, and was, by the way, gradually getting up suflicient' to get married—Henry Rustin, Mr. Rustin sprang to his feet, said he was no speaker and “Brothes’ Patrick kuew it, With this- imply this and nothing more" — Mr, Rustin sat down, **A bit of mandoline picking and vocal ac- compaviment” was announced, with Mr. Iustin at the strings and Messrs. Buckley and Doaue as vocalists. They pleased every- body immensely, and responded o a “'great” encore. Hon. J. Sterhug Morton was then intro- duced and was greeted with prolonged &p- plause. *“I'he names of the Sons ot Omaha,” said ‘Mr. Morton, “are names most indelibly stamped upon the history of Omaha, fathers, the fathers of Omaha, W with the Indian of Omaha—they triumphed over the Indian and triumphed over all other dificulties. ‘The Omabs of today," continued Mr. Morton, *'had a coucept in the fathers of those to whom he spoke; and yet the ma- terial excellence of Omaba toduy is nothing 10 swhat the grandeur of sturdy character i which those fathers bequeathed Lo their 801 Those fathers transmitted their beritage of nerve and braiu to their sous, ana what these sons do with their nerve and braiu implies the greatest of responsibilities. Those fathers will soon surrender all the ery of social aud political goy- nd as the sons accept it lhe{ can 0 only with - fecling of most profound responsibilitics.” After the years that have com? and gone for the speaker, he had come to the con- clusion that the man who does the best that he knows and can for bimselt, 1s doing the best ke can for the community in which he lives. It was u wonderful pleasure to him 10 koow that the sons of those qarly fathers of Omaba hud 0 thoughtfully, o thoroughly taken up the work aseed into their bands, The opening fore those to whom ho spoke was megnifi- cent beyoud expression. The fathers of Owaha knew and resolved that wiat is to- day should be, and firmiy, unfinchiogly they ernment, ng | PAGES, worked toward what wo sec in this city to- day. The foundations of this great commers cial mart were laid by no weak, no faltering mihds and wills, Let thom be carried_for- ward as they were commenced. Theso great blocks of buildings are but the materialization of the thoughts of thoso fathors of Omabia, I wonder,” said the apeaker, earnestly *if the sons of those men ever forgot how the foundations of this mental strength and moral vigor were laid. The sons must not forget that the vigor and streneth of the forofathersof Omaha were brought about by rudo environments. Let not tho sona forget that here, where thoir fathers had harshuess to battie against, they nnve luxury us a possible foe," The apeaker said he had been greatly gratified 1o sco the types of the ancestors of Omaba preserved in their children. ‘These chilaren could not appreciate the wonderful responsibility which rests upon them, but duy_of carry on the work so ably Tt was for the sons of Omaha to see in their lives all tno responsibilitios which filled the lives of their fathers. Though these sons may gain prominence, yet the great hearthrobs of their lives should bo for the perpetuity of honor, of home, of Omaha. ~ Whiio tho fathers may woll be proud of thia great city, yet remembor that overy one of those fathers would rathor seoull of this city aink into oblivion rathor than have their sous violate one particle of their own honor. While the fathers may well be proud of their successes in life, the still greater pride they have is in their sons, in their wellfare, 1 thewr moral honor. Wera it possible he would write iudelibly upon tho minds of every son -of Omaha the honorable, the stainless record of thoir fatho Tu the midst of so much youth the speaker said bie could wish those abont him nothing better than that in aftor time they could look back upon so wuch of magnificent achievement, 80 much of true manhood, 8o much spotlessness of character, Mr. Morton closed with the following beautiful bit of sentiment: *“Tonight I come here 1o this banquet and place tho roseleaf of my tribute to your ancestry upon the overfowing goblet of your youth, hoping that 10 drop may be disturbed. Tho cheers wero three, long and hearty. On motion of Mr. Will Hamilton a vote of thauks was tendered Mr. Morton for his presence and his words, The regrets of the club were ordered sent to Dr. Miller and Mr, Poppleton by reason of their ubsence, Mr. Morton was made an honorary mem ber of the associuvion and then the long-to- bo-remembered affair cume to a close. Several Important Arrests, Charles Gray, a colored man who is wanted 1n this city to answer several charges of small-sized larceny, stealing clothing from his colored brethren, was arresied and locked up last night by Officers Eliis and Dempsoy.
