August 27 , but did not pull Into the harbor unlll Sunday morning , after five days and twenty-six hours sea voyage. On Wednesday It stopped six and a half , lioura on account of an accident to Its ma V" ' chinery. The voyage could have been made * , In less lhan five days under regular ftteara. On board the transport nre the Third bat talion , eighteenth Infnnlry , 1513 men , re- crulls for thu First Colorado.- First Nc- Tenlh Pennsylvania and Third ar tillery , now In Manila , there being 1,206 men nil told. Besides those are fJenernl Mer- rlam and Htnff , ( Jcncral King and staff and eleven nurses of the Ilcd Cross society. Ex- Governor Hogg and daughter of Texas were also passengers on the Arizona. The voyage from San Francisco was a very pleasant ono with exception of the first night out , which waa stormy nnd the water rolled over the ebIp and splashed Into the hold and suc ceeding In welling aulla a number of men In their bunks. There was considerable sickness on board the first two days owing to the storm nt sen nnd It was quite amusing to watch the boys as they would laugh atone ono another whllo In their sad predicament In trying to feed the fishes. During Iho breakdown In mldocean n great number of the boys took advantage of the stop to take on ocean swim and soon from all sides of the steamer soldiers could bo seen floundering wllh much merriment At times there came very nearly being a small rebellion on board on account of the food furnished to the men. The system of cooking for 1,200 men In a llttlo kitchen was very poor. The company quartermaster ncrgeanls would have lo Bland In line three and four hours nt mess call bsfore they could Bccuro any food for their companies. The hours of messing were n lunch In the mornIng - Ing at 7 o'clock of black coffee and hard tack and at 9 o'clock breakfast would be nerved , which would consist of coffee , a potato tate , and a small plcco of fat pork , with a biscuit This would have to answer unlll 4 In the aflernoon , when dinner would Include a potato , soup , biscuit or hardtack and a slice of corn beef. The coffee was not fit to drink , whllo the corned beef was noth ing but horse. Many a piece of the meat was taken from a plate with the hair still on the hide. Several of lb < > boys still have Bomo of the pieces for souvenirs. The bis cuits were sour and only half baked and the company commanders would not allow their men to cat them. There was a board of survey appointed to Investigate and pass on the food fur nished the soldiers and the board con demned the food ns unfit to ent The report vraa also approved by Oencral King , but still Captain Perry , the quartermaster , con tinued lo deal It out to the men. The weather was gradually getting warmer each day and It was almost Im possible to keep cool on deck or below. Every night the men would tnko their mat tresses nnd blankets and find the coolest cpot on the deck and turn In for the night with nothing but the blue sky for a cover- The last day of the voyage was a happy ono for those on board and at tbo first sight of land the nlr was rent with cheers from 1,206 joyful soldiers and all made a scramble for the forccastlo deck and rig ging. It proved to bo Lepers' Island , whore the unfortunate victims of leprosy are con fined. In a few hours more the steamer hove in sight of Iho much talked of city of Honolulu lulu , but only to drop anchor In the bay and wait for daylight to enter the harbor. Sun day morning nfler docking Ihe men werr taken on shore for a short drill to take the kinks out of their bodies after a tedious week of lying around on shipboard. The Arizona was billed to Ho at Honolulu until the arrival of the Scandla. which would bring orders dcslgnallng the further move ment of tbo Iroops. The Scandla was scheduled to arrive the following Thursday nnd General King , deeming It necessary to the health and comfort of the troops to go Into camp on land , Immediately Issued nn order to Uiat effect The troops left Ihe slenmer afler sunset and took up the march for five miles isd y from the city on what Is known as Diamond point. The tents were pitched Inside of a race Irack and surrounding Iho grounds on all sides arc plenly of good large : trees that afford ample shade , whllo the ocean , being only about a fourth of a mile from the 10h camp , gives "H the privileges of a sea bath every morning. The First Now Yorks are camped amonj ; the trct-9 outside tbo race track. Their camp Is known as Camp Mcldnloy , whllo the camp of the troops from Arizona di called Camp Otis , In honor of Major General Olli. The men are made as com fortable as possible , every man having n full white duck suits , besides the blue and ( brown canvas uniforms. Helmets are Is sued to sorno of the men , but owing tent the short supply all have not yet been equipped with them. The drill hours are arranged BO as not lo work in Iho hottest part of the day. The Scandlft finally arrived In port Sat urday last , one week later than the Ari zona. The entire camp had been anxiously looking for Its arrival , for 11 would then loon be known whether the troops hero would go on to Manila or remain In Iho Hawaiian Islands. Those that wore de sirous of going to the Philippine Island * were disappointed , for the War department decided that all troops now In Honolulu shall remain there until further orders , while the Arizona coes on to Manila with supplies for the soldiers now there. That means , no doubt , that these recruits here will wait until their regiment returns from Manila and then Join It and proceed to their respective stales and be mustered out of the service. The sick list thus far has been very small while in camp. On board the steamer there ware eleven patients In the hospital , with various troubles. The most serious cases were typhoid fever and two with measles. Prirate Wenstcr of Company K , Eighteenth United States Infantry , waa one of the ty phoid fever patients and finally succumbcx ( to the dlseaao last Friday. The remains ver Interred In Punanu cemetery In the plot _ allotted to the soldiers who have dice here , The funeral was attended by alt members of Company 1C npi were sounded and three volleys fired orcr the grave. 1'rlvaie Stanflcld of the Nebraska recruits Is also quite nick with typhoid fever and li at the Queen's hospital for treatment , The 30 < ! recruits for the First Nebraska are divided Into Ihroe companies A , II and C commanded by Captain George H , Holdecor man. Captain Lincoln Wilson and Captain J. N. Klllan respectively.

"Municipal Government and the Anti- Saloon League. " By way of Introduction Rev. Johnson said that It was dangerous to the reputation and usefulness of a preacher to meddle In poll- tics. However , exceptions to this rule had been made. "The present conditions In South Omaha force me to speak my mind clearly , knowing at the same tlmo that I may be greatly misunderstood and misrepre sented and my motives Impugned. " After briefly sketching municipal government and the causes which lead up to municipal cor- , ruptlon , the preacher said lhat his particular theme was the Anil-Saloon league as It ap- J ( , piles and will apply to the existing condlti ! lions In South Omaha. | "Wo nil bold , " said Rev. Johnson , "that 1 | all of the evils of modern municipal life center In nnd are gathered about the modern saloon. The saloon Is the resort of gamblers , ' confidence men , ward heelers , prostitutes and the like. If the liquor traffic can bo , ' wisely and sternly made to obey the law of the land In Iho same way and to the same extent that all other business enterprises are amenable lo law it will mlttgalo all of the ' worst evils , It not cure the disease. " The preacher said that the Anti-Saloon league had no connection wllh the prohibition party. It waa not a party movement but on the other hand was strictly non-partisan. Its plan of work was to operate through the existing political parties. To awaken public sentiment to such an extent that every man who believes in clean municipal government - ment would atlend the primaries of the party with which ho was affiliated nnd sees that delegates are selected to the nominating con ventions who can be trusted. The origin of the Anti-Saloon league was gene into in detail and U was stated that total abstainers , moderate drinkers and even drunkards are eligible , Ihe laltcr only I If they ncreo lo use their suffrage to re move some of the awful temptallons that beset their dally path. "The Anti-Saloon Icaguo In South Omaha , " said the preacher , "asks no moro lhan the law demands of the merchant , the groceryman or the meat dealer. If the law says that the saloon must be closed from midnight Saturday night until 10 o'clock Sunday night , we say the law ought to bo obeyed. When it says that there shall be no liquor sold to minors or carried away from the saloon by minors , we believe the law ought to bo obeyed. If the law says lhat no habitual drunkard , known as such. shall buy liquor at a saloon , wo 'bellevo ' the law ought to bo obeyed. " Rev. Johnson , In speaking of municipal corruption , called attention to the fact that only recently a person was arresled for a crime hero and a , councilman slened his bond. This ho Ihought was all wrong and would not happen If good , honest men were elected to office. In conclusion the preacher spoke of the Sunday work nt the packing houses. Men employed nt these plants had told him that If they refused to work on Sunday they would lese their places. This the preacher thought was all wrong , .but ho did not sug gest n remedy. Sunday work kept people away from church and In his opinion every ono was entitled to a day of rest with the privilege of atlendlng dlvlno worship If they so desired. lrlny nn School II ill 111 I HKH. The new school buildings erected during the summer are still Incomplete and It will probably be another week before the rooms ore ready for occupancy. An error was made In the shipment of the doors for the Lincoln school and then came the delay about the seats. The blackboards are still unfinished nnd It will take fully a week to complete the rooms. A statement was made a few days ago to the effect that the contractors would be assessed { 10 a day for every day's delay since September 12 , the date of the opening of the schools. This clause was Inscrlcd In the contracts at the time the buildings wore ordered erected and still re _ mains thero. Some members of the board [ ' have an Idea that the contractors can be held and have even gone so far as lo figure up how much of a deduction can be made on Iho final estimates. Thomas J. Nolan , who Is Iho legal representative of the democrats on the board , has given It as his opinion that the contractors can be held. This , however , la not the opinion of older members of the board , neither does It coincide with the views of ex-members who served from three to five years.

If this argument ' holds Rood , and It hns hMd In the past , the , board ; has no redress for the delay. It Is stated by those who ought to know 1 that a one-sided contract like the ones In existence docs not go and that unless a bonus for the completion of the buildings prior to the date net Is ottiVcd the contract- era cannot bo held for the delay. Prof. Wolfe , the new superintendent of schools , Is expected to arrive Tuesday.

Instead of resllng , the exhibitors in the Horticultural building devoted their time yesterday to cleaning up. They all went over Ihclr fruit , picked out that that was specked and washed the plates on which the exhibits are placed. Today the fruit will look as fresh and clean as though it was Just put upon the table. From now on it Is expected that the fruit exhibits will bo larger and better than at any time since the opening of the exposi tion.

The sham bailies at the Indian village have been Immensely popular , but eyen wllh Iheir popularlly , Captain Mercer has figured out another Dlan for entertaining the vis itors. In the Indian 'camp there are a number of Indians who were present when Sitting Bull was murdered a few years aco. In addi tion to this , there Is a Rosebud Sioux , TurnIng - Ing Eagle , who closely resembles Silling Bull. The plan Is lo have an Indian camp constructed along the same lines as the one occupied by Silling Bull with Turning Eagle posing as the victim of the murderous as sault. At Just the right time and in full view of the spectators play will bo called and Turnlnc Eaco will be killed Just to show how It was In the case of Sitting Bull. During the week the Indians will begin re hearsing for this new feature and within the next len days It will be put on. In ad dlllon to the killing , there -will be a battle between the Sioux and the other Indians , though ' it will be fought along somewhat different lines frorarihose that have been heretofore seen at the. camp. The battles .that are contemplated 'will ' bo more realis tic and there will not Vo so much grandstand [ stand firing , the Indian's'petting down more closely to business.

The present week's menu Includes some pleasing turns , the flrst course being a patriotic ono suited to the times , in which Howard and Alton win some applause for their combination of song and flag tableaux. Ada Hulmes has lost none of her graces as a vocalist and Is catchy with a medley or two of popular parodies. Powers. a tenor who could command a good salary In most any operatic troupe , and vivacious Baby Theobald captured Ihe audience several times last night. He has a fine voice and she Is full of sparkle as a danseuse and high kicker. The violin turn by Robert Myers demonstraled for him some arllsllc ability.

"Tho Two Orphans , " which a generation ago was ono of the reigning successes of the ilramatlc world , was revived at the Crclgh- on Ihls week by Iho Woodward Stock com pany. "Tho Two Orphans" Is familiar to ho older generation of theater goers and some of the younger ones who have wit nessed Its periodic revivals. Playa of this class , however , have generally been sldc- Irackcd until within a recent date by farce comedy , problem plays , tank drama ct nl. It has too llttlo of the comedy and too much of the strongly emotional to be really enjoyable , but Its many stirring situ ations and tableaux make It a story of con suming interest. Wilson Enos , as the pa tient and heroic cripple , nnd Walter Greene , as tbo heavy villain , are the best two of the male characters both as to opportunity and the manner In which they Improved It. The role is not entirely a now one to Mr. Enos , but in this , as In other characters , he Is the painstaking and correct actor. Mr. Greene has been seen to excellent advan tage repeatedly as the suave , polished vil lain , but In Jacques , the Parisian outlaw , he demonstrates his ability lo as success fully portray the grosser character. Of the female members of the company the honors are fairly divided. Ono must confess to some surprise , however , at the manner In which Miss Dunn portrays Ihe palhctlo characterization of the Blind Louise , for heretofore ( she has been associated with chick and rollicking characters.

He Is delighted - . lighted with the big show and says that It far excels what he had anticipated. "Some of us had hoped to bo sent to the exposition In connection wilh Iho govern ment exhibit , but that was before the war was thought of , " remarked Captain Wood tea a Bee reporter. "It was reporlcd that one or two companies of our regiment might ho sent here al a tlmo and wo were all plan ning to see the exposition thoroughly , " said he . , "when along came the Spaniards and then wo had olher business lo attend to. " In speaking of the late war , Captain Wood said : "I had the honor of serving Ihrough . . Ihe Cuban campaign wllh Ihe Twelflh In- fanlry. This regiment made a gallant record for llself and I Ihlnk I have a right lo feel proud lhat I was with It. At the batlle of El Caney the Twelfth was most conspicuous and two companies of the regiment , one of which waa my own , charged the blockhouse there. It was a private by the name of Abel from our company who hoisted the stars and stripes on top of the fort at El Jancy. This Is not generally knonn and I have never seen any mention of It made In any accounts of the batlle. The fighting was prctly sharp and ono of Iho color- bearers was a bit backward about planting the flag on top of fho forl. It was a hazardous deus piece of business. Private Abel Jumped to where the color-bearer stood , snatched , the flag nnd in a wild rush put up the Hag that gave heart to nil of our men. " Captain Wood Is bound for Fort NIo- brara , Neb. There he will have charge of collecting aud shipping the property of the officers and men now stationed at Jefferson barracks. Mo.
