ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871, OMAHA, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 11, 1894 CoPyY AROUND THE BANQUET BOARD Hibernians Lay Dull Care Aside and Gather at the Peast, REPORTS FROM OFFICERS OF THE SOCIETY They 8how More Than Ten Thousand Mem- bers Added During the Past Year— Filoancial Standing of the Brothe, hood—Convention Notes. A day partly of work and partly of play by the delegates to the Anclent Order of Hiberians convention was ended by a ban- quet at the Paxton last nig At 10 o'clock the invited guests assembled in the parlors and when the doors were thrown open to the banquet hall 400 guests, headed by T. J. Mahoney of this city and National Delegate Wilhere, filed down stairs two abreast. Following the leaders were the national officers and directors, the clergy, headed by Bishop Scannell and Father Shahan, state delegates, visitors and invited guests, Mr. Mahoney, who was made toastmaster owing the absence of John Rush, was seated at the east end of the hall. On his left was Mr. Wilhere and Father Shaban and on the right was Bls| Scannell, P. J. O'Connor and other speakers, The tables were adorned with cut roses. The eastern wall of the room was decorated with the flags of Ireland and America—the red, white, blue and green blending In har- mony. Souvenir menu cards were placed at every plate, and when boullion was served there were exactly 400 men secated at the tables. As the courses progressed the ban- queters became more animated, and when clgars were lighted at midnight all were in the best of humor. During the progress of the banquet a very handsome bouquet was carried in by a waiter to the members of the Tourist club of Philadelphla. Several jokes were made as to where the flowers came from, and to settle all disputes T. P. Cooney and Joseph D. Murphy formed themselves into a pro- cession and carried the floral offering to National Delegate Wilhere at the head of the hall. Judge Wilhere was enthusias- tically applauded as he bowed his acknowl- edgements, TOASTED AMERICA. When Toastmaster Mahoney arose guests subsided and prepared for the in- tellectual feast, which was to follow. Mr. Mahoney said that they were assembled there as Irish-Americans and Ancient Order of Hibernians and not cne of them would ba willing to yield in patriotism to any other class of citizens cf this country. They were Americans and recognized their citizenship as the symbolizm of true liberty. He sald that they loved the stars and stripes be- cause they were the proud emblems of human hopes which had struggled forward from serfdom to the most glorious prize to brave men—that of equal rights and freed-m to all men, regardless of race or color. “My country, America, 'tis of thee; may she al- ways be right; but right or wrong, she Is always my country.” ~ This last sentiment caused the guests to break into cheers. Mr. Mahoney introduced National Delegate Judge M. . Wilhere of Philadelphia, and in his introductory remarks he complimented the judge so highly that the crowd arose ‘Wwhen the speaker did. HONORED THE ORDER. Natfonal Delegate Maurice F. Wilhere responded to the toast of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in an eloquent p cch promised by the statement that owing to his hard work he had been unable to suitably pre- pare for the occasion. In illustration of his position he told a story which threw the convention into a paroxysm of laughter. He explained that Ancient Order of IHibernians had no antagonlsm to any society in Amer- ica. He thought chat it was decent and proper for the Irish of America to have a soclety based on the principles of the fathe; hood of God and the common brotherhood of man. He spoks of the tendency of the Irish people toward dessensions and fol- Towed up the statement with one, claiming that there was no nation on earth more ready to promote the institutions of America than the Irish. While he was Irish and his hearers were Irish, the speaker said that the majority of those listening to him would agree with him in the statement that those who were loyal to America would be loyal to Ireland. Paying his compliments to the American Protective association he stated that this continent was discovered by a Catholic and that all the territory around Omha bore testimony to the fact that the corner stone of American civil and religious liberty was lald by the Catholic church. On this line of argument he stated that he and those present were members of the Catholic church and were proud of it. He explained that the association was Irish Catholic, but that the first lesson taught was a respect for the stars and stripes and the government of the United States. In conclusion he said that he was grateful for the reception accorded the convention by the citizens of Omaha. Rev. Dr. Shahan was next introduced, and gaid that since he had been in Omaha he had come to the conclusion that he was a member of the circumlocution office, The question of “the church and the civil goy- ernment,” he said, was first ralsed by a pharisee, and its discussion was still going on. Following up his argument, he stated that all that was great and good in politics had been brought down to the present day by the Catholic church. His addre most scholarly one, and was atten tened to. At 3 o'clock this morning speakers were still talking upon the subj which had been assigned them, with a prospect that daylight would find the banquet uncom- pleted, STRENGTH OF THE ORDER. the Bome of the Figures on Membership and Floances. The convention convened at 9:30 yester- day morning, when the report of the national board of directors on the revision of the con- stitution was taken up.

The speaker in presenting the gavel sald that ho belleved the cure for the present embar- rassing condition of the country was to be found ‘n the “free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1."" A storm of applause greeted the address and presen- tation, A committee was appointed to Invite the bishop, Father Shahan and city and viclnity clergy to visit the convention. At 1 o'clock the convention adjourned to 9 o'clock this morning. At 2 o'clock the delegates and members to the number of 400 were taken on a car- riage drive, visiting the principal points of interest In Omaha and South Omaha. The drive was a long one, somewhat longer than most of the delegates cared for. Start- ing from the Paxton the line cf 100 or more hacks and coaches passed down Thirteenth street to South Omaha, and returning went to Fort Omaha. On the return they stopped at the Omaha Brewing assoclation h:ad- quarters, where a lunch with the usual liquid accompaniment was served. NOT LOOKING FOR PEACE, New York Sesslon of the A, 0. H. Down the Law to the Omaha End. NEW YORK, May 10.—At today's conven- tion of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Board of Erin, resolutions were adopted in response to a telegram from the Omaha meeting to the effect that there wa: two orders of Hibernlans and only one Board of Erin, and that in the adjustment of the dif- ferences the Board of Erin must be recog- nized as supreme. A telegram to that ef- fect was ordered sent to the Omaha conven- tion, but as that body had adjourned before it was sent, and as the proposition of the Board of Erin is mandatory in form, the chasm between the warring factions is as wide as eyer, Resolutions urging parliament to adopt ays members of the tactics of the Par- ellite days were adopted. James Hag- gerty of New York was elected nation delegate, Patrick McGarry of Illinois was chosen national secretary and Danlel P.

Congressman Weadock, with the Michigan delegation, speaks in warm praise of Omaha, dwelling particularly on the substantial ap- pearance of the buildings and the clean, well paved streets, He is a member of the congressional rail- road commission and a reader of The Bee. On alighting from the train, upon his arrival in the city, he took a particularly good view of the Union depot. There werc no hacks or busses in sight and it was only owing to the kindness of a wandering bootblack that he found his way through a shed and up to the viaduct, where he found a strect car and the first indication that Omaha W a city. Speaking of his resolution in congress re- commending the investigation of the Ameri- can Protective association, he stated that it was still before the committee and a re- port would probably soon be made. The changes of chairman and other accidents have delayed action up to the present. He is satisfied, however, with what has been ac- complishied in calling to the attention of the public, and especially of the press, what he considers the objects and methods of the association. Of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, he gays It is merely a fraternal organization, which never has and never will mix in politics. e Sends His Compliments. A telegram addressed to Hon, John Hart- ley, and from A. H. Jocelyn, editor of the Daily Financial News of New York, was re- ceived last night. It read as follows: “Please deliver the compliments of tho Daily Financial News of New York City to Judge Wilkere and the national convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, hild at Omaha_this week. ~As our forefathers es- caped the thrall of English rule and made America what it is, so may you and your children join us hand in hand in completing the structure just begun, and which, when completed, will be the greatest of all civil governments, ordained for the universal happiness of the humane family by the Great Father of nations.” Stricken at the Door. Before the time for entering the dining hall at the banquet the crowd assembled in the hotel lobby, where during the excitement and heat Father Murphy of Perry, la., who is a sufferer from heart disease, was over- come and for a time his condition sccmed serious. Prompt medical ald helped him to recover and he was removed to his room, where he rested casily last night. He Is subjcct to such attacks.

BOMBAY, May 10.—Serlous news comes from Agravil. Trouble that may lead to grave results has arisen over an infringe- ment_of the caste system. A batch of men from the Thirteenth Bengal infantry was drafted into the Seventeenth regiment and promotion was given to the new comers in the latter regiment. Two companies of the regiment gave evidence of their indigna- tion at this by parading without the per- mission of their officers. The colonel of the regiment ordered the arrest of the ring- leaders and locked them up. The next day the two mutinous companies assembled again and demanded that their comrades be re- leased. The colonel tried to argue with the men, but without avail and he finally ordered them all to be confined in the kuard room. One of the Hanov VIENNA, May 10.—Arnold Lichtner, a card sharper, has been sentenced to five years penal servitude after a sensational trial in which it was revealed that he is a missing link in the circle of gamblers and usurers whose methods were exposed at the recent great gambling trials in Hanover. One of the gang escaped to America; an- other committed suicide and Lichtner es- caped to Switzerland before the Hanover trial began. The evidence given at Licht- ner's trial made it clear that the spirit of gambling had so eaten into the German army that it would take something more than royal decrees to root it out. Gang.

PITTSBURG, May 10.—~President Garland of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers has appolnted the wage com- mittee, which will arrange the scale for the ensuing year. The committee is as follow: Bernard Duffy, Richard Morgan, John Daschbach, Thomas Reany, Pittsburg; Harry Herking, David Llewllyn, George Owens, Wheeling; Thomas Hanley, William Hughes, Muncie, Ind.; David Gardner, Ellwood, Ind C. 8.

Hocky, Milwaukee, Wis.; William Thomas, St. Louls; William Weichsel, - Irondale, O.; Stacey ‘Thomas, Apollo, Pa.; M. M. Garland, J. C. Kilgallan. This committee will meet in Pittsburg to- morrow and it is expected will conclude fts labors Saturday night. = On Monday the delegates will leave for the annual conven- tion in Cleveland. The most important matter for the consideration of the wage committee is the advisability of preparing a perpetual scale, which would do away with the vearly conferences. An advance will also probably be demanded. The iron workers believe that the business has im- proved sufficiently to fustify the restoration of the cuts made during the past year and a number of lodges have requested the com- mittee to make the necessary changes in the scale, Pt e FIGHT IN THE COKE REGION COMING. Strikers Furlous at the Introduction of New ‘Workers at the Oven UNIONTOWN, Pa., May 10.—Not since the beginning of the strike, not even in con- nection with the wild scenes attending the Killing of Engineer Paddock, has there been such excitement as is developing tonight in this region, particularly in the southern end, or Fayette county section. The intro- duction of outsiders to take the places of the striking coke workers has been commenced. The strikers, especlally the Slavs and Poles, are simply furious, They were startled and enraged tonight by the actual appearance of an advance guard of workingmen, consisting of two carloads of strangers who have been run into the Morewood plant of the H. C. Frick Coke company, where they engaged to go to work at the old rates. Most of them are reported as_inexperienced men, Z Late tonight it is generally believed the hurried preparatios being made, keeping the strikers up and alert, look to an attack in such force that the deputies on guard will be swept away In case the new men really try to go to work at daybreak. The situa- tion is alarming, as 1,000 men are expected at Scottdale, and it is not probable the leaders will be able to keep them within bounds.

Fifty Commonwe Topekn on & Passenger er Arrest Ch Grand Lare SALINA, May 10.—The “war” Is over. The intrepld Colorado contingent of the Com- monweal, which has kept Colorado and Kan- sas in an uproar for two days, has surren- dered unconditionally to Marshal 3 They were 450 strong, and every man is under arrest. The surrender was made peaceably and the entire army is being taken to Topeka for trial. The special train is now enroute with the captured army and is mak- ing rapid time on its return trip. The capture of the stolen train was effected at Scott City, Kan., at 0 this evening, the Wealers having been compelled to return to that city by the train sent to Modoc. Shortly after the train was stopped Marshal Necly served the writs of replevin. There was a short conference between San- ders and his officers and It was decided to camp here on the prairie all night. Sander: asked permission of the mayor for such a proceeding and the request was quick granted. In a few minutes there were tw dozen bright campfires burning near the track and a party of hungry, tired Coxeyites around each. They had little with them to eat, but thelr mite was eked out by contributions from citizens, until by 8 o'clock nearly of the Commonwealers had been fairly fed. Sanders himself was invited to take supper with Superintendent Clark in his private car Magnolia and accepted the invitation. To provide against surprises of any kind the castbound mail train was held to obstruct the track and the armed deputies were set to guard the special. Shortly after supper, or about 9 o'clock, Sanders: and his army decided to surrender unconditionally and it was fmmediately arranged to take the en- tire number, of them, to Topeka under arrest, The coal cars were sent to Pueblo and the engine on the Sanders train was hitched to the train of passenger coach Into these coaches the Commonwealers were bundled and about midnight the train started for Topeka. HAD BEEN AN EXCITING DAY. Three times their stolen train was re- ported stalled before cars and engines pur- posely run off the track ahead of them, and each time the railroad officials believed they were masters of the situation. But in less time than it took the railroad company to jump their engines from the track at one place and tear up the rails at another, the go-ahead Wealers had built a new track around the feeble obstructions and relaid the torn up rails. With their force of some- thing over 400 men these undertakings were but a fcw hours of enjoyable recreation for the Wealers who, when riding, were packed in their coal cars like sardines in a can. The army sympathizers hoped that the dare- devil band might run the gauntlet of United States Marshal Neely's deputics and reach Topeka without further molestation. Once at the capital they belicved the train stealers would be free from care and penalty. The railroad company depended on the at- torney general, Bailey Waggener, and he succeeded in pressing the United States into service by getting the clerk of the United Statés circuit court at Topeka to issue writs for the unknown Commonwealers. With United States Marshal Neely and a force of fifty men, each armed with a rifle or shotgun, Waggener started west on a special train from Topeka. The force and fhearm: were increased enroute, and when the special reached Scott City, Kan., 100 deputy mar- shals, each with a gun, were aboard. Meanwhile the Wealers were reported as flying eastward, having broken camp at Chivington, Colo., where they peacefully spent the night, rolled in their blankets, in the open air, while their train stood still on the main track. Formidable obstructions were reported as to be thrown up in front of them at Diston In the shape of three engines and box cars, and the supply of water for their engine was said to be cut off. But the first news of their movements for the day showed them as having passed Sheridan Lake, Colo., at 10:18 a. m., mountain_time, and as crossing the state line into Kansas at 11 o'clock. They were by the “ditch’ and cther barriers and their engine was steaming all right. At different points from there eastward the Wealers' wild cat was reported as moving carefully and roaring by other places at forty miles an hour. The man at the throttle, it was said, was an old Missouri Pacific engineer and he knew every sag and curve of the road. GOT A GOOD ENGINE. The wild train .reached Horace, Kan., about 2 o'clock.
