T s A ngan experience similar to that of the Nictheroy regarding the completion of ner erew and the obtaining of supplies, but one thing is safely established, and that is Per- nambuco contains & number of people in sympathy with tho rebels and they have done overy thing possible, and thus far suc cessfully, to prevent the Nictheroy from sailing south, Causing Tronble on the Nictheroy. Amcne the Brazilians shipped on board the dynamite cruiser todag in the place of the Americans who re ed 1o go any fur- ther, arc several men who are strongly sus. pected of being in sympathy with the insur. gents, and who are r wrted to be doing everything in thoir power to continue the spread of dissatisfaction on board.

The oflicials of the government were asked how it was these vessels, which sailed some weeks ago, and which were due here some time ago, bad not yet renched Brazil. The reply was that the torpedo boats had undoubtediy been de- Iayed by storms and that two weeks moro might olapse before they reached the coast of Brazil The rebel ral iu command here, De Gama, had not made any progress worth montioning since the last dispatehes were sent, and nothing now of an important nature has occurred up to tho hour this di patch is sent. ‘The usual exchange of com- pliments between the rebel war ships and whe government forts continues with about tho same result., Refused Do Gama's Request Rio pE JaNgmo, Dec. 20.—Admiral de Gama, the commander of the iusnrgeny fleet in the avsence of de Mello, made o formal demand today upon the represent tives of foreign powers ot the capital, asking that the foreign powers should recoxnize the insurgents as bellicerents.

Pass, Dec. 20.—The sultan of Angaziya or Great Comoro, the largest of a group of volcanic islands in the Mozambiquo chan known as the Comoro isles, has been deposed and removed to Diogo Suariez.

Brawiy, Dec. 20.—The Neue Nachrichten of Munich on December 5 last announced that on the Sunday night brevious, Decem- ber 8, at Genoa, Ttaly, Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria had been married to Licutenant Seigfried Auf Buttenheim of the Bavarian army. This news caused a decided sensa- tion, as the princess is a granddaughter of the emperor of Austria as well as a grand- duuznter of the prince regent of Bavavia, But the sensation whiely the information of tho murriage caused is nothing to the con- sternation caused in imperal and royal circles today by the announcement made’ by the Germanin, the chief organ of the cler- ical party, which declares Princess Bli hwas not married to Licutenant 24 and that she is not now married to him, although they are living together. “the’ Germania adds other news, which is vndoubtedly most painful to the relatives of the princess, but as it is not fit to be pub- lished it is not contained in the dispatch. CAMEOS GENERAL AN DIPLOMATIST. Wisdom of iy monger ¢ Appointment s Troaty- led in Question. Loxpox, Dec. 20..-A dispateh to the Times from Madrid says that considerable com- ment has been caused by the appointment of General Campos as special ambassador to Morocco and the judicioustpss of the ap- hointment is seriously aquestioned. The mission of concluding asettlement with the sultan is a delicate and diplomatic one. Campos is essentially a soldier. It is thought, therefore, that the mission ought rather to have been entrusied to a diplomat. General Campos' orders are to demand the summary punishment of the leaders of tho rebellious trites for the violation of the treaty, the establishiment of a neutral zono and the payment of indemuity. The Wadras treaty states that the suitan shall be obliged to keep a standing army in the Riff country. ‘This article will never be complied with willingly DIRECT FROM KONT, News of Captain Wilson and His Men May Be Had In a Couple of Weeks. Loxpoy, Dec. 20.—The Times prints a statement from Gerald Pagot, who left Bulawayo-on the evening before Major Forbes started fn pursuit of King Loben- gula. Mr. Paget says that it was reported incamp that Major Forbes had been in- structed to take Tobengula, if captured ulive, to Fort Salisbury rather than to re- tura with him to B yo. Mr. Paget adds that it is presumable that Captain Wilson's route hus' been toward Iort Salisbury or Fort Charter. 1t may be therefore that news about him and his party may come to Cape Town within a fortnight. i TOURISTS KILLED, Loso Their Li Hizh Peak of th olese Alps.

The version presented was that written by John Banim, the Irish author and dramatist. A large audience filled the theater, ard many prominent Pythians of the state were i attendance, iu addition to those of this city. Inthe boxes were the grand officers of the state and their ladies. Mayor Bemis, City Treasurer Bolln, City Attorney Connell, City Engineer Rosowater, Comptrolter Olsen and Hon. J. H. Winspear made up a party of city officials that oc- cupied a box. fx-Governor Boyd was also ina box. All of the ofticers of No. 1 were in attendance, as well us those of the other subordinate lodges in the ecity. Prominent Knights from Council Bluffs, South Omaha, Lincoin, Hastings, Plattsmouth and other cities wore prosent. Tho piay affords opportunity for the dis- play of talent, and last night's production was most creditable. Home ‘alent nearly made up the cast, and the friends of those appearing were pleasantly surprised at tho ability shown 1 the reading of the lines. J Edgar Owens, who has had the production in hand, and is credited with being an actor of note, apveared as Damon. While his characterization was not quite all that tho opportunity afforded, and his enunc tim indistinet, he did somo v acting, especially in the fourth and lust acts IPrank Lindon's Pythias was good, while his daughter Miss [dna Barlie Lindon as Calanthe displayed mariced talent, her win- some manner and sweatness of voice adding charm to the role, Mrs. Owens played Hermion and did it well. The remainder of the cast was home talent, and in view of the limited time for rehearsal all acquitted themselves admirably. J. 1. Dailev's Dionysius was especialiy fine and the gontleman _displayed true his- trionic ability. The others were Phil- istius, John Hayward: Damocles, N. H, Nelson; Procles, Frank Spore: Lucuilus George Pumpelly: executioner, Frank Moore. Fach did well and contributed largely to the success of the production. As the child of Damon Miss Alaa Bolln ap- peared to advantage. The senators wero kuights belonging to_the local lodge and the soldiers were from Fort Omaha, being mem- bers of Mars lodge. The costumes were elaborate and fine, while the stage settings were appropriate, the scene at the prison gate being par- ticularly worthy of mention. The theater decorations were well arranged, the colors hianism being profusely displayed. The lodge scored a triumph and the pro- duction was not only creditable to those appearing in the cast, but reflected honor on the order. —— FOR THE WORTHY ONLY. olice Will Aid Mr. Clark In Preventing Imposition at Kescue Hall, ' Fvery winter the charitable institutious, not only in Omaha but all over the :country, are imposed upon more or less by a class of people who will not work, but will steal if they have a chance. Last winter Rev. A. W.

TUAT COMPRONTSE, What Mr. Crosby Has to Say About the Burlington's Actlon. Another evidence of the power of a city when its citizens stand together is shown in the compromise effected by the grain men of Kansas City Thursday with the officials of the Burlington system, When the grain rates to Kansas City were advanced 4 cents per 100 pounds Docember 5 the largest kind of kick was registered by the grain men at the mouth of the Kaw over the alleged flagrant injustice done to the grain intorests of the Missouri town. Flam- ing civenlars were issued by the Commercial oxchange calling upon shippers topersonally interview Burlington officials in their sec- tions with a view of compromise. Charges were openly made that the Burlington out of pure pique had advanced the rates because it could not secure the long haul, and other sensational features were added to make an interesting “story” appealing to the pocket- book of the commission man and shipper. Tnterviews published in Tur Ber with General Preight Agent Crosby were gar. bled for the purpose of discrediting the Bur lington's position, and the brains of the m connected with the Comme exch were exhausted in trying to s v Kan- sus City should benefit at the expense of Omana. Mr. Crosby and nected with the Bu for they saw the justice of the position, althougi 1t took yéhrs ‘to bring the change ubout. The grain men, however, never “die’ and they commenced to’ train their ns on Vice President Harris of the Chicago, Burlington: & Quincy, then in California. Upon bis avrival in ' Chicago a delegavion of grain men interviewed the second vice president of thie Burlington with the result that Ahursday a compromise was cffected botween the interests. The nature of this compromise, "It is understood, 1s favorabld to the grain inter- ests of Kansas City, the company agreeing to cut the rate iu twvo inmost casés.although the present tariff of 4 cenis per hundred is mamtained from points where it will do hittle hurt to Kansas City.

This line accuses our of cutting rite: retly and threatens to make open reductions to the me point which it charges the Big Four of making secretly. Its first reduction will be the signal for bitter fight. Some time ago the Alton accused the Rock Island of juggling World's fair tickets and preferred charges against it to the local association.

The meeting of transcontinental linos in Chicago next week promises to be a vory “hot" session, if presont indications are to be relied upon. While the Canadian Pacific continues to maintain a profouna silence as 10 the probable course 1t will pursue in the meeting, it is generally thought an agroe- ment will be patehed up that wilt put a stop 10 a great many “‘peculiar’ things now being done by all the lines leading to the coast One of the things Mr. Lomax of the Union Paciflc will endeavor to rectify 1s the large scalp on round trip tickots which the brokers are at present enjoying. It is a fact well kuown in railway circles that th ascalpol 5 to £10 on round trip ti reading from Omaha to Sau Francisco with eturn either vin St. Paul, Sioux City or Kansas City, This state of affairs has been in existence for some time to the utter de moralization of basiness. “I have always contended,” said M.

I have been in favor of au added rate to the regular round-trip rate, 80 that the broker would not be able to buy his tickets at the regular rate ana theu seil them for less than market value. In the #30 tickets tkere is a scalp, 1 think, of nearly §20, which is outrageous. But our competitors have failed to see the justness of the Uuton Pacific’s position, and all of them are seiling coast tickets for the same rate ourseive The lilinols _ Central sells round-trip tickets from Chicago to San Francisco via the southern route for the same rate as the Northwestern-Union Pacific system. The Kunsas City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs sells tickots from the Missouri river ygate- ays for the same rate, although the scalp is sufticiently large to enable brokers to_de- moralize the busineas through the applica- tion of the local rate. I have always contenaed that if low rates arcto be made then the general public should have the benefit of that rate, not the brokers. And 1 say now 1f something is not done noxt week to straightening out this matter then the rate is liable to go lower. So faras the rumor goes that brokers in Omaha are selling round trip tickets to the coast for §1 and £62.50, whatever they can get between those figuves, 1 presumo there is something i 1t.
