DAaAiLy BEE. THEY ARE HEADED FOR HOME Knights Templar Returning from the Groat Denver Conclave, . VANGUARD ~ VISITS OMAHA BRIEFLY Boveral Trains Stop Long Enough to Allow the Travelers n Glimpse of the Gate City—Get Ready for the Shriners The vanguard of the returning Knights Tomplar arrived in Omaha yesterday after- noon and evening. They were, for the most purt, & tired and dusty compauy, but very fow falled to improve tho opportunity to seo somothing of Omaha, the fame of whoso marvelous growth had reached them in thoir eastern homes, ‘Lheir oppor- tunity in this caso was limited. 1t had been arranged for every train to re- muin from two to four hours in Omaha to give the koights and their ladies a chance to seo the city, but nearly all tho trains were Jate and somo of them only stopped loog enough for the visitors to catch a ghimpse of tho shed that answers the purpose of a depot and then pulled out again. Those who passed through yestevday, however, are only a partof the returning commanderies, and it is hoped that those who are to follow may be favored with & more adequate view of the Gate City. Ponnsylvania Led the Way. The Burlington had threo special trains londed with the excursionists duting the niternoon. The first seotion, consisting of o baggago car and five sleepers, was due at , but it was nearly an hour iater hen it pulled into the depot. Iy It bore the Central Penusylvania Denver club, consisting of the commanderies of Harrisbur, Lewliston, Altoona, Tyrone snd Mifiin, Pa The dele- gation remained in town about two hour: A few remained on tho train, but nearly ull of them took the street cars or carrlages and went uptown until ume for their train to leave. At 8:16 the Rock fsland special, with eight sleopers containing the Boston com- mandery arrived. They stopved ouly a fow minutes and pulled over the river. Tuo second Burlicgton special was loaded with Philadelphia commandery No. 2, and the De Moley commandery of Washington. They had telegraphed ahcaa for carriages which were waiting at the depot und plosed the two hours of their stay ina driv over the city. ‘Ihe third train with Read- fug (Pa.) commandery No. 42, did not arrive until 6:20, nearly four hours Jate. ‘Tne Philadelphia Denver club was due on Rock Island at 6 o'clock. They had in- €d 1o stop two hours in the city and dine ot the Millard. It was nearly S o'Clock when the tram arrived. however, and in order © o make time the club had to go on without stonping in Omab: Union Pacific No. came in three sections. The first was a freight au1 baggage train which conveyed James Stephenson’s tallyho outfit among other things. Tho secoud sec- tion pulled 10 on time at 7:10. It con- sisted of seven sicepers and two baggage curs freightea with the united commandcries of northeastern Pepnsyivania. The united commanderies comprised about a dozen small delegations, nearly all of whom took carriages to tho Paxton hotel, where they dined and then returned to tho train. Thoe occupants of the third section had arrangea {for o tallyho ride through the city, but their train did not arrive until so late ju the even- ing that it was abandoned. » Well Plensed With the West. The knights were unanimous in commen- dation of their rezeption and entertainment in Denver and entbusiastio over the west. The Nebraska commanderics were couspicu- ous in Denver for their nospitanty and their wabernacle tent at Sixteenth strect and Broadway was always open to their guests, Everything was frec. Nebraska punch was ladled out by the gallon and the fair daughters of the stato pinved a dainty boutonniere on the breast of each doparting puest. Large shipments of cut flowers wero received from home each day for this pur- pose. Nobraska brought 2,000 people to the conclave, including the Pawnee City band and the Oceidental band of Dewitt, The Templars will continue to arrive dur- ‘ng today and tomorrow and this aftornoon fahe firat delegations of tue Shriners will rnuke their appearance. DECORA 1Ty, )Omaha Should Dress w Today the first (will arrive in Omaha, but they will be but a ‘handful to the crowds that will eome tomor- row and Mond Wheu the last stragg! have joined the camp from 15,000 to 20,000 visitors will be the guoests of the city, They ‘will be in some respects the most important body to which the city bas ever thrown open its doors. Most of thew are men of means, and mauy of them aro looking for a place to put their money where it will yicld a safe re- turn, They should be made to feel that Omuha is the coming city of the west, tha it is popuiated by an euergetic and progres- give us well as hospitablo beople. st impressions aro always potent and no one thing would ve botter calculated to win the samiration of the visitors on their arcival than a liberal display of decorations. Every business house and as muny private Tesidences as possible should be decorated today. Itis at onco a matter of policy and of courtesy to the city’s guests. A litile at- tenipt av aecoration on the t of each in- diviaual costs but little, but & united effort would make a marvelous difference iu the appearanve of tho city. Omuha has 8 future beforc her as the scene of great gatherings and nothing should be neglected thut may add to ver al- ready onviable reputation in that respeet. Let streets and residences und public build- fugs wear a welcome of red and white and blue and our guests will uot fail to appreciato the courtesy.

In Omaha 890 was raised for expenses inci- deat 1o the governor’s visit. Does Tue Bee m dozain that a cheap speakers’ stand, the hanging of 1avo arc lights and the services of two bunds cost £5001” Mr. P, L. Perine,who was chairman of the finance committee that had charge of the ox- penses incigent to Governor McKiuley's visit, was asked for the facts in regard to the matter {n.-nerd . He said that state- “ment of the Worid-Herald is a lie, and the writer know that it was alle when he wrote it. That papor stated last Saturday that Gov- ernor McKinley did notreceive a cent for his Council Bluffs speech, and its authority was oue of the managers of the Council Bluffs Chautauquo, yev in that same issue it charged editorially that he reccived ) for that speech, und this moruing it repeats the charge which it knows to be without founda- tion. Now as to the Omaha speech. It suvs that #00 was raised o dofray expenses, That is not trae. The committeo planned to raiso that amount, but found that it was not nec- essary. The total exponses amounted only to about §500, and not quite that amount has beeu raised. The outlay for carriage hire, stand, lights, music aud such expenditures took up the amount raised. Governor McKinley aid not recewve a ceut for his speech here, ana Mr. L M. Treynor, who is one of the mauagers of the Council Bluffs Chautauqun, says that the same was true re- garding his speech in theBluffs, The following letter received this morn- ing speaks for itself: Couxcin, Brures, Aug. 12 1892 —Editor Osuia Bre.—Dear Sir: Answering your 10quiry s to whether or not Goveraor Mo- Kinley recelved pay for his Coun- cil Bluffs address, we desire to say that we engaged him to speak for the Chautaugua and offered to pay him, but he refused to accept any pay, Say- ing that he would not think of charging us a cent. Yours very truly, Tri o & McGeu, Managers Council Bluffs Chautavqua. T support of Mr. Perine’s statement that the World-Herald knew that it was making 4 falso statomeus is the following, which up- that paper Saturday morning, August ¢ “A friend of Judge McGee quotes him as authority for the statemeut that, while Gov- ernor McKinley was engayed for the Chau- taugua at a consideration, after tue close of his address Thursday he refused to accept any remuneration for his appearance herc and the Chautaugua man- agement 1s richer by. the bulk of the entire procecds of the entertainment at the driving park.

On the editoriul page of the World-Herald 1u that same issue appeared this statement: “Melinley says hu wants o 100-cent dollar.

DON, Aug. i9.—Mr. Gladstons will go to Osborne house on Monday with a complate listof the new cabinct o submit to the queeny but, in pursuance of constitutional usage, he maintains absolute silenco on the proposed appolatments. It has been impos- 81ble to concoal the arrangaments mado for Sir William Veroon Harcourt at the ox- chequer and for John Morley as Irish secre- tary, but Mr, Gladstone’s intentions rogard- ing other ministors ars not knowu, even to some definitely appointod members of his ministry. He has roceived scores of aspirants for office, and has discussed the composition of his cabinet with his chief advisors with- out definitely communicating to any ono his final solections. Being n punctilious observer of official precedent, he will not formally offer a place to any one until ho has actually received the queen's communds to form s ministry, Surmises are rife rewarding new minise terial combinations. Among the Iost striking reports finding credence in oficial lewral quurters is one to tho effect that Lord Herschell will become. governor geuneral of India, that Lord Chief Justice Coleridge will become lord chancellor, and that Sir Charles Russell will become lord chief justice. Lord Herschell's transfer from the bench to the tremendous political responsivilities of the viceroyvalty of India would be incredible, but for the known fact that he has long desired to be a prominent figuro ln the political arena. He bas the highest opinion of his own qualities as an adwministrator, snd, if the report be accurate, ho must have con- vinced Mr. Gladstone of his worth, but his appointment will cause u shudder of appre- bension throughout the country in view of the critical position of Indian-Russian re- lations. Until Tuesday, whoen Mr. Gladstone roturns from Osborno house, the exact com- position of the cabinet will remain unknown, Victorin Booked for an Exciting Time, The queen will have an unusually exoclung time during her conferences with Mr. Glad- stone over the nominatious. The names of the old group that are entering the cabinet she knows, but most of the new she does not know. IUis known in the court circle that it is fear regarding the Gladstone ministry that induced the queen to consult the duke of Devonshire during his visit to Osborne house, just conciuded, as to whether it was possible for him to rehuite with Mr. Glad- stono and sweeten the ‘iberal ministry by takinz ofice himself. The other source of the queen’s aisquietude is the change in the royal household appointments, inevitable on Mr. Gladstone's accession to power. Whilo the lhiberal ranks included the old whig families chnnges in the royvsl house mattered little to the queen. One duchess succeode: snother as mistress of roves and ladios of the beachamper could easily be recruited from the whig sristocracy, Bul now Mr, Gladstone has small choice ana will Sud-it- exceedingly diffioult to get -personages sfirenhle to the queen to fill thie great court o & House of Commons will resume busi- ness on Thursday next, mainly to4issue writs for the re-election of ministers.
