THE OMAHA TWENTY- HAVE FOLDED THER TENTS ftor Nights of Musio and Days Deveid of Oare the Arabs Have Stolen Away. FAITHFUL FEASTED AT THE MILLARD Grana Mouna Spread by Tangler's Nobles Hefore Their Guests from Afar Off— Events Thut Mado the Day Pass Swittly Away. Fa Selamu A.ickum. Mighty is Allub (praises be to his name) and of the elect aro his children of the Unwritten Law. With last nizht’s closing the tents of the Moslems who have been in the oasis of Omaha wete struck and the pilgrims are preparing to journoy hence after their so- Journ at the shrine of the Star and Crescent erected for 1802 in the western hemisphere. The camels are [reighted and today the sons of thedesert will journey back to their sov- eral oases, carrying with them the prayers of the faithful. The magnificont mouna provided for the representatives of thy imperial council at the caravansury known among the profane s the Millard, was in keeping with the hos- pitality of the nobility of Tangier. 1t was thoroughly Arabic and the orange and the black floated over the heads of the shareofs and shiek who sat about the board, in costume that would have delighted the pro- phet of the true fuith (honored be kis nambe). There were dates and pulms in miniature from the warm desercs of the occident and flowers that gave forth a smell like unto fronkinceace and myrrh that ornamented the boards before fvhich the ancients sat in conclave to discuss the viands provided by the faitt:ful of the oasis of Omaha. And to give color to the scene from an in- terior chamber there floated tho sweet music of tho harp, the zither and the horn in sensu- ous cadences, which brigbtened the wise men as they sat drinking the milk and eating of the honey. And it was an occasion mermor- able. Spread a Feast Before Them. At the head of the table central sat Ehareef Henry C. Akin, who spoke in liquid phrase and in exceeding happy manner, when welcoming au illustrious sir who had joined his brethren in ceiebratine the closing of the *'greattalk” for the benefit of human- ity, for omnipotent is Allab, and his servant. 18 Mohammed, O true believers, porform your contracts.

When the true drink of tre Moslem was reached, Shareef Akin, in beautiful words which reflected the heart of the wise man, welcomed those of the faith tothe hospitable board ana as ho was assigned the duty of an- nouncing spenkers, first presented High Sbareff Sam Briggs, who said, in substance, that ke had hoped at the end of his officlal careor to enjoy the distinetion of being @ monarch retired from business, but without warning he was shot into the full blazonry of a ban- quet board and expected to pay proper trio- ute to the star occusion 1t the history of the surine in the western world. He said that the Arabic grasp of good fellowship and hos- pitality had been extended 1 manner onental and his beart failed to give forth all in cortained in recoguition of whut the nobles of the onsis of Omaba bhad done for the shrive. While we note our origin from the original Bektash, saia Noble Briggs, the true mark of genuine hospitality has been given the order by the western world, end hero we may Lope to erect a more gracious order than ever existed under the skies of the orient, for Allan is Allah, whether here or elsewhere, From the Head of the Order, Imperia) Potentate W. B. Melish was then thrust to the front and his talk was received with warm demons rations lke unto the ancient custom by clappiog of hands. Noble Melish said that more thar ever the occasion suggested Lo him the lines of the poct, **I'he friends thou hast and thew adoption tried, grapple them to thy heart with hooks of steel.”” He said it was an honor t0 be elected to presido over the imperial council composed, as it was, of good fellows, men who had reached tho heights of Knights Templarism and Scottish Rite Masonry. “T'rue nobillty,” said b *4s not found along the lines of weilth alove, but aloug the lines of penury as well, and our order should 80 direct its course that amoag all the world our charity uld ve known und recog- nized.

WHAY THE ADIES ENJOYED, eption, Drive to Fort Omaha, and o De- lightfal Concert. One of the pleasantest features of Omaha's great Shrino meeting has baen the presence of hundreds of ladies, wives sisters and duughters of the nobles and the knights, and to tho Iasting cradit of Tangier temple be 1t recorded that in making up s program of eutertainment amole provision was made for the members of tho fair sex who added so much graco and toveliness to this interesting occasion, Anotner informal but delightfully cordial reception was tendered the visiting laaies at the Paxton parlors from 3 to 5 yesterduy afternoon. ~ Mrs, Juage Strawn and tho ladies of the Tangier nobles gave the visitors a warm-nearted, western welcome. At 5 o'clock the tally-hos and coaches were brought to the door, and the entire party was driven to Fort Omaha, General Brooke had ordered an earlv dress parade for tho especini benefit of the strangers, and to many of the eastern visitors it wis a novel as well as an inepiriting sight. Of course tho compuny of Sioux Indiaus and the tepees oc- cupied by their families came in for a goodly sharo of interested attention. Ior the evening a concert was planned at the Paxton, and Mr, Whitney Mockridge and Miss Grace Almy of Chicago were cugaged to provide the program. They were assistea by Mlss Edith Wagonor of this city, The spacious parlors wero thronged with ladies and, despite the banquet at the Millard there was a liberal sprinkling of gentlemen in evening dress and scarlet fez. Tho program was opaned by Mr. Mock- rid, an Omaha favorite, who told an imag inury maiden 10 the mostsweatly sentimental tones that he was waiting to breathe nis love into her ears. No maid of ordinary suscep- tibility could have resistod the pléading of s0 romantically exquisite a tenor, and the audignce gave Lho young man the encourage ment of its approval. Miss Wagoner's taper fiegers played with quick and deft touch a pretty harmony of Jacob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn's, and won & ripple of well bred applause, When Miss Almy dawnea upon the com- pany iu the glory of blonde beauty, a gen- erous but symuotrical figure and a har dsomo cvening gown, & murmur of admiration swept through the parlor and along the cor- ridors und out upon the balcony. Miss Almy has a fine soprano of rathier unusual streng: and fullness, and sho sang *“The Sea Hath Its Pearls,” an exquisite ballad of love by that dreamy, philosophical, sentimental Teuton, Heine, who of ull men knew the art of infusing music as well as soul into cold words.

Malloy NOBLES VISIT SOUTH OMAHA, ow tho Guests Wero Entertained by the Big Men of Porkopolis, A more delightful day could not have been imagived than yestorday for a visit to the South Omaba packing houses and the water works at Florence, There was a pleasant breeze blowing, and the special trawn pro- vided by Tangier to take the visiting nobles upon this pilgrimage was crowded with inter- ested sight-seers who enjoyed their outing to the fullest extent. Noble T. IX. Sudborough was in charge of the special which left the Union depot At 10 o’clock with 400 sheiks and their lady fricuds on board, assisted by Noblo C. 8. Potter. Thomas F. Godfrey of the Missouri Pacific was also on hand di- recting matters after tho train left South Omaha for its run on the Belt Line, At South Omaha Nobles W. N. Babcock, superintendent of the stock yards, and J. S. Kuox, trafiic manager for tho Cudaby Puck- ing company, met the visiting Aribs and gave them a rovul welcome to the oasis of Packingtown. The first stop was mude at the Cudahy company’s establishment, where the guests wero divided into three partios for the purpose of 2etter seeing the sights ut- tendunt on o visit to a large packing bouse. Midway of tlie journey through tie immense establishment the guests were treated toa splendid luncheor, the visitors being pre- sented with souvenir- jars of bect extract. After tho pleasant mouna provided by this entorprising firm the purty iwas shown through the general offices of the compuny, in which $20,000,000 a year has to be ac- counted for. From the Cudaby plant a short stop was mude at Swift's house, when the migrims wore takeu to the Stock exchange, where Noble Babcock bad provided milk and other refreshing liguids, The visit was sagwell planned and so thoroughly carried outthat only the most extravagant words of praise weoro heard from those evjoying the hos- pitulity of the uovles of Taugier. At the Webster street station the Second Infantry buud boarded the train and as usual furnished delightiul music on tho trip to the water works plant and return. But this was not all. T'he representatives of Tangier, with a thoughtfulness that were captivating, took on euough sundwiches to satisfy the huuger of the tourists and as thore were gal- lons of punch in the bugeage car, by the ume Florence was reached everybody was in excellent bumor and ready to jolu iu salaams to the nobles of Tangler and tho citizens of Omaha, At 4 0'clock the excursionists re- turned, haviog had now experiences and a touch of gonuine westeru hospitality, COMPLETED THE riON, The List of Ofticers Selectod at Yesterday's Sesslon of the Council, Tho membears of the imperial council mec in Masonie templo yesterday moralug to com- plate the annual election, ‘I'he session drew a full attendance and did wot adjourn until 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, The election resulted as follows: Imperial hiwbh priest aud prophet, Johun Brush, Murat temple, Indianapolis, Ind.; imperial oriental guide, Lou Burt, Moslem temple, Detroit, Mich. ; imperial treasurer, Joseph J.

Tho announcement of the appo!ntment of Baron Houghton to the pasition of viceroy of Irelund was so increaivle that the r.pre- sentative of tho Associated Press made in- quiries about it, when ho found that the appointment had bsen made us announced. Robert Of: Ashburton Milnes, second baron Houghton, was born January 12, 1858, and is therefore not yet 35 years of age. He married in 1880 Sioyl, daughter of Sir ¥'red- erick Graham, and granddauzhter of the duke of Somerset. His wife died in 1887, leaving three daughters. Baron Houghton has been a lord-in-waiting on the quoen, His father, the firat baron, who died in 1333, was Monckton Milunes, the poct and littecateur, PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA, Still Causing Ha [ Mobs Demolish o Hospital, St Perensoura, Aug. 16.—The total num- ber of new cases of cholera reported in Rus- s1a yesterday was 7,600. The total number of deaths from the epidemic was 3,900. These figures vepresent all the returns received, but two-thirds of the towns attacked have no relegrapnic communizition with the towns making daily reports to St. Petars- ourg, The koown tigures, however, show that the disease is causing havocin many dis- tricts, particularly in districts affected by the famine, where the peasauts, physically 1mpoverished by the scarcity of food, when attuckea by disease have no strongth 1o com- bat and die with scarcely a struggle, ‘The cholera is abating at Nijal Novgorod and Astrakhan and the in trauscaspian terri- tory, but the number of deaths continues ex- cessive in the Caucasus, the Don provinces in Saratoff, ara.

The soldiers soon supprossed the rioting uud arrested the leaders, Maiy Districts— IT WAS A FEARFUL SCENE. Sinking of the Stoamer Ajax Described by an Eyewitness, Loxvoy, Aug. 16.—A spzoial dispatch to the news from Helsingfors says: Tho cap- tawn of the steamar Runebogs, which sunk the pleasure steamer Ajax off Helsingfors, says that he ran his vessel on the wrong side of the Ajaxn order w avoid shallow water., Ho pleads that he bad no option to do otherwise, because the Ajax did not aliow nis vessel sufficient room. Although the Ajax was licensed to carry only seventy-five persons, sho had 110 passengers aboard. The number of lives lost was rearer eighty than forty. The rush of steam, the light from the moon as well as irom the vessels’ furnaces and tho lanterns, the hundreds of heads and arms in the water strurgling to catch hold of anything that could be found, the fight of many to throw off those clinging arcund them, the shrieks of the women and children- all combined to make a scene that Dore would havoe failed to paint.

The Situation in India a Peculiar One Herolo Remedies Needed, Loxvoy, Aug, 16.—In an editorial on the silver question, tho Stanaard says: day is upproaching when America will dis- cover that it is easier to bacome possessed of a debased form of money than to got quit of it bv a lucky ‘fluke’ or a great nacritice, but she may surmount the dauger. But it is otherwise with Inaia, and we are astonisned that Indian statesiwon have not soonor uwak- ened Lo the necessity of checking the mis- clulef, Wnatevor is done. however, we must avold graspiug at nostrums. A thorough overhauling and veduction of howe charges would do more to relicve Indla and give ber time to recuperate than all the other sug- gestod remedins, The stoppage of the coin- ago of silver in 1.dian nints would not pay Lidian debts abroad, but might smash *rade with the Straits Settlemeats, China und Japuo, while the adoption of a gold standard would not b2 paueficial, being only likely to curtuil exports.

PR Ee—-— oM m)\? MUTVERINGS ALREADY, Radicals Rfsent Mr. Gladstone's Ignoring of Cheir €.afins 1o Oilic Loxnoy, Aug. 10.-T8o_composition of the now government is ug’equse of intenso dis- appointment awmoig the radicals. Not a single muv, except Johi Morley, prominently identified with ths rddickls has been ap- pointed to & cablfupt position. The old set aré masters “of it sftuation, *Mermbers of old whig families and liberal medi- ocrities having, aristocratic connec- tions, never assoclated with extreme views, have been Mr. Gladstone's exclusive choice. Even Mr. Stanfield. who in the last Gladstone cabinet reproseated democratic opinion, has been sheived. Ieport says that Mr. Bryce may yet come in as first commis- sioner of works with aseat in tho cabivet, but thisis only likely to happen if Mr. Gladstone finds the storm of radical indigna- tion so overpowering as to compel the ap- pointmeut of Mr. Bryce, ‘The official list, when scanned tonight at the National Liberal club, awoke vehement, protest. Members of strong radical tenden- cies turued from thie announcement with ex- pressions of scorn and anger. ‘*Was it for this undiluted list of old men associated with traditions of whiggery; with some new re- cruits from tue territerial and aristocratic class, that the radicals hed given their money aud their timey”’ This was the gen- eral question and the responsive prediction followed that such @ goverument could not last three mooths affer Palliament resumed business. 4 Character 4f the Cabluct, Apart from radical'opiniou, the cabinet is really composed of gmivently reputabie men. Mr. ~ Gladstone bas preferred collecting around him tried coMleagues, accustomed to suboraiuation aud pertain not to deviate into strange ways. His three new cabinet minister, Messrs. Apquith, Arnold Morley and Acland, are sound liberals. Mr. Asquith alone is shightly tainted with radicalism, but he has o legal ‘mind with such a stroug ' bias toward high office as makes bim malleable ou principles. Arnold Morlev is in every- thing Gladstonsn.. Mr, Acland has potent old whig family counections aud is hewr to lurge estutes. Probably ~Mr. Gladstone will try to strengthen s position by offering minor Dosts to Mr. Stuart, the radical leader of tho London county coundil, Mr, Hunter, uow tne lender of the Scotch radicals, Mr. Burt, Mr. Benn and others. Mr, Shaw-Lefevre is likely to get the minlstey of agriculture, but nothing Mr. Gladstone can offer will prevent the ragical leaders, immediataly upon the re rssembling of varliwment, from showing re- sentmentat their exclusion from office. Why Labby Was Left Out, Fortunate minisierialists explain tonight that the name of Labouchere was on the list which Mr. Gladstone presented to the queen, but that her majesty bgingirreconcilable Mr, Gladstone was forced b clide the name, Mr. Lubouchere's friends refuse to credit this statoment und poiat 1o the omission of other radicals as proving tho hollowaess of the excuse. ‘Tho truth 18 that Mr. G adstone detests - Mr. Labouchere und that the latter heartily vociprocates. Notbing in Mr. Labouchere's political life is likely to cause him so wuch oicing as leading a schism desiroyiog Gladstone govern- ment.

For the 200 votes they had 5,000 men to cast them, and the convention, instead of being a body of o-nstituted delegates, was in_the hauds of the multitude, Ex-Senator Mat- tock moved that the vote ou election of chairman bo taken viva voce. Chairman Fluloy raled this out of order and then the storm of indignation broko out afresh. Hundreds of delegates were on their fect wildly gesticulating and endeavorlug to secure racognition, while the thousands in the hall were howling like dervishos, Through the din of voicas Mat- appealed from the dacision of the chair. With stoical indifference Finley refused to entertaiu the uppeal ana ordersd the clerk to proceed with the rollcall. Many Clark counties refused to vote, and the call by counties showed that Shepurd was over- whelmingly elected. Just as the result was being aunounced ex- Senator Mattock jumped on a chair and de- clared that the minority had been stified and bulldozed. The chuir had, he said, violated all parliamentary law and custom, and he asked all those who favored the election of Lano for temgorary chairman to siguify by saving “aye.” The Clark delogates and the spectators all chimed in and u mighty shout went up from (,000 throats, and Mattock de- claved Lare elected. Pistols and Kuives In Alr, In an [nstant the Clark banner was hoisted and then a mighty rush was made for the piatform to secure half of it. The scene is indescribable. Men in angry passios were surging, pusuiug and puiling " at the tables and cbairs and all fhe time yelling and curs mg. Several fights were going on in the audience und pistols and dangerous looking koives were flourished. IPor several minutes it looked s though a blocay scene of carnuge would be enacted. Ons reporter who had gained a seat of vantage was in the mad statopede huried a distance of thirty feet on the heuds of somo of the crowd belov. At last a semblance of order worked out of chaos, As though by mutual consent the murderous looking pistols and knives were put bacl in pockets and oach side took half the platform and bail, Shepard presid- ing over the Hogg convention and Lane over the Clark legion, Both sides at last got down to businessand began the work of organization by appoint- ing the usual commtttees, when an adjourn- ment was taken.
