Every parllclo of marble and scroll work has been cleaned nnd dusted until It Is as bright as Iho brasswork on the admiral's own craft. Patriotic colors are flaunted from every conceivable point of vantage and Ihcy blend In n blaze of red , while nnd blue , stretching from floor to sk- llght. Mayor Moorcs has G'VCU ' his personal attention to the decorations and municipal business has been tabooed In order that every energy might be devoted to the work of preparation. An immense silk flag was draped from thn roof nnd shows In gorgeous relief against the tamer colors of the skylight. The flag was clasped back against the upper stairway and on the opposite sldo of the rotunda two similar fla = 3 were festooned from the fifth floor and hung half way to the ground floor. Beneath these were smaller flags , also artist ically draped , making the entire Interior al most a solid mass of color. The stairways and the railings on each floor were covered with red , vvhlto and blue bunting , and a number of largo stars decorated with the same material and containing Iho portraits of Schley , Dewey and President McKInlcy were huiiE from prominent points. The grand stairway , at the foot of which the formalities of the occasion occurred , was handsomely carpeted with thick rugs and elaborately banked with Immense palms and smaller potted plants. Each of Ihe newel posts was wrapped In a silk flag and the admiral's flag bung across Iho center. The whole cflect was cmphasJ'icd by a profusion of Iiicande&ccnt lamps that liad been bur- rlodly strung on the stalrwnjs and railings and flashed brilliantly among the gorgeous colors of the decorations. Admiral Schley la not Hie first dis tinguished American to stand at the foot of the grand stairway and recolve the fe- lloltatlous of Ihe local public. He stood on exactly the same spot from which President MeKlnley has shaken hands witn thousands of patriotic Omahans nnd on which Omaha has long been accustomed to welcome homo Its heroes of war nnd peace. But it la safe to presume that no more Elncnro sentiment has ever resounded through the lofty corridors than that which tbo'rauk and flic of Omaha , citizenship prof fered to the man who downed Cervora. ( Hher InoIdciilH of ScIile > 'N Visit. Asldo from the postponement of the re ception that was to liavo been tendered Ad miral Schley by the Ilonl Arcanum Wednesday morning to May 31 , when ho will stop In Omaha on his return trip , there has been no material change In Iho pro gram ithnt has been announced for the re- n-alndcr of his stay.

Miss Louise Holler of 2412 St. Mary's nve- nuo was on the train with Admiral Schley from Chicago to Omaha and was Introduced to bolh him and Mrs. Schley. She says Ihe admiral Is a remarkably friendly man and met all of his fellow passengers on terms of the utmost cordiality nnd kindness. In the course of the conversallon of the evening the admiral did not once speak of his part in the war or lo any of Ihe operallons be fore Santiago and referred to the events of the last twelve months only as they had bettered the condition of tlio common sailor. Previously , the admiral said , It had not been thought that n sailor was of any ac | count ns a man , unless ho happened to bean an officer , but that now the men behind the guns nro respected as Ihey deserve lo be. The admiral spoke vvllh great satisfaction also of the moro considerate treatment the common sallois were revolving cf late years. Miss Heller adds her Indorsement to the statement already frequently made , that the admiral Is a frequent teller of good stories and mentioned several that ho told on the train , to the great amusement of his hear ers. The admiral said , In answer to n sug- gcslhn lhat he might suffer the fate that befell Hobson at the hands of enthuslasllc young women admirers , lhat It would prob ably bo Ihe other way with him ; ho would want to kiss them. Instead of their wanting lo kiss him. Miss Heller secured an aulo- graph from Iho admiral , which she nalurally values very highly. 1'IpiiNPil it 1th Ills rjNiMirt. No feature of his stay has apparently given Admiral Schley moro gratification than the escort of High School cadets that accompanied him from the Manderson resi dence to the reception in the city hall. The entire battalion of four companies was In line , consisting cf fully 200 cadets In full uniform. The bittallon was In charge of Lieutenant W. B.

Last night Admiral Schley .was enter- lalned nt the pleasant quarters of the mili tary order of Ihe Lojal Legion In the Ramga block , where he met the veteran army offi cers who compose the organisation nnd re ceived their welcome to Nebraska. The affair was largely In the nature of n camp- flro and the admiral seemed thoroughly at homo In the society of Iho veterans who were honored by his presence. After a short series of Impromptu speeches a light repast was served and the remainder of the * evening was occupied by a social session , in which Iho veterans told stories , smoked Innumer able cigars and otherwise enjoyed themselves after the fashion of veterans of wars long passed. Soon after 8 o'clock the veterans were called to order by Vlco Commander N. S. Hanvood of Lincoln , who briefly referred to the occasion that had called them togolhor. Admiral Schley was Introduced and received with fuilous applause , which ho rewarded by making Iho flrst speech that ho has made In Omaha , His remarks were appar ently wholly Inspired by the occasion , but ho spoke with the case and force of an ex perienced orator. What ho had to say was soon spoken , but It did not Include a super fluous word and ho was hcaid with the closest attention , After acknowledging his hearty reception , ho said In substance : i "There Is no ono In my countiy who Is a stranger to mo. Kast nnd west , north and i south , there Is the same feeling of Amcrl- 1 nlsm , tbo same touch of sympathy , that' i lias made our country so great and so grand , i It Is not difficult to account for the greatj j ness of this country when we look Into the | i races of Its strong men and Its handsome I | women. With us sailors , who are separated From homo and all we hold dear nnd who liavo only Its Insignia lo remind us of our country , the feeling of patriotism Is par- tlculaily strong. It Is not difficult to un derstand how the altar of our patriotism is kept burning. " Speaking of national affairs , ho said ; "I have nothing to do vita expansion or non- expansion , Fortunately , that Is a bridge that 1 do not have to cross. I believe , lion ever , hat war Is not without Its compensations. S'o nation ever went to war without being made better by the moral and material re sults that were achieved , With respect to our new possessions , we find ourselves In ho position of the family that had a baby fit on its doorstep. The child must either 30 raised or killed. I believe that the American people will solve this question with the same common sense with which hey ha\o solved every other qucs- lon In the history of our country and which has made this nation so great and glorious I am glad to look into the faces of men who , like mjBclf , are relics of an old war , and I am sure that If moro help md been needed they would have given tbo same service In the ro-ent "war that they made glorious In the war that Is passed. " conclusion of Companion Sehley'i m- mnrks wng followed by renewed npplnuse and then Captain II E. Palmer wns called on. He Wlpfiy expressed the rllwgiiro that It nlTorde'd the veterans to entertain the dlstlngulthed guest of the evening and then ho gave n number of amusing personal reminiscences. Cnplaln Palmer was followed by Mayor Moores , ( Jcorgo E. Prltchclt , Oeneral Man derson , W. J. Broaleh nnd various other members of the organization and then lunch was served. During the remainder of Iho evening Ihe proceedings were enllrely In- fcrmal and Admiral Srhlcy left , after as suring his hopts that ho had spent a most delightful night. STRIKERS HOPE TO WIN OUT Action nt tinChlciiKo Hoard ofTrnile 12iitMiiiiiiir < i 'I'licm l'l KlcMi- tor.M at Work. BUITALO , May 20. The strike situation hero Is moro complicated than ever , lly yes terday's action In directing Its executive committee to open an office and nwalt p-opo- sltlona from the- Lake Carriers' nss'dallon locking to a settlement of the trouble , the grain shovolcrs practically repudiated Bishop Qulgley and President McMahon , the head of their organization. The action of the Chicago cage Board of Trade In calling for Ihc iibro- gallon of Iho contract of Mr. Connors Is said to have greatly stiengthenod Iho belief of a majority of the strlkeis that they can force the Lake Carriers to this action. Although tbo striking men were very oirn- cst In their talk at last night's meeting , everything Is quiet this morning. There weio several affrays in the vicinity of the docks last night , during ono of which a num ber of shots were fired and six arrests were made by tbo police. No one was injured. l'i\o elevators were lifting grain todiy the Erie , City , Northern , Dakotnh and On- tarlo. The lake line men claim lo have a full foice of Height handlora on every dock. Many of the _ men , how over , nro Inexperi enced , but the number of expcrlencetl men Is being added to dally. The ere and coal docks appear to be neglected , the operators apparently making no concerted move to operate - erato Ihem. v The marine firemen's slrlke Is sllll on and causes considerable delay In handling boats. the resolutions adopted jostcrdny by thu Chlcngo Board of Trade lelatlvo to the abro- gallon of the Connors-Lake Carriers' asso ciation contract , Frank J. Firth of this city , president of the Lake Carriers' association , today sent thj following telegram to George P Stone , secretary of the Chicago Board of Trade : "Have received preamble and reso lutions of Chicago Board of Trade. Lake Curriers' assoclallon Insisted upon every Just silevance of the men belne removed , and U has been done. The Connors con tract Is not now In any way responsible for continuing interruption of business , and there Is no Intention of abrogating It. Ad visory action by boards of trade not fully Informed as to tbo facts only complicates matters and delajs the complete resump tion of business. " Six elevators were working this afternoon , the Terminal having started up with n small Inside forco. The dally arrivals of grain nro small and the blockade is being slowly re moved. Contractor Connors said today : "I don't need any moro men. Whenever the elevator people give me the elevators I will furnish the scoopers fast enough.

Saturday , after an afternoon's outing on Cat-Tall pond , near Grace and Fifteenth streets , 11-year-old Walter Teetzel was killed by the accidental discharge of a com panion's rifle. Hcedlcssness In handling It was the cause. Teetzel and a playmate named Carl Holt were preparing to row- across the pond. Carl had stepped Into the skiff. When young Teotzel started to follow ho thrust the rifle into the boat flrst. It was loaded and cocked ready to shoot and the Jar of its stock striking the board bottom tom released Ihe Irlgger. The rifle was dis charged nnd the bullet penetrated Teetzel's body , passing through the upper part of bis stomach. He died In twenty minutes. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Governor W. A.

Ono bright October morning during the celebration of the Jubilee of Ameilcnn achievement at the Transmlsslsslppl n\psl- tlon nearly 100,000 people were massed sol idly on the broad open Plaza In front of the band stand The big crowd WAR vibrant will scarcely repressed enthusiasm and It wallet with an eager expectancy that betokcnei' ' the Imminence of an unusual event A mag nificent band of fifty pieces sent the stirring notes of the "Star Spangled Banner" pula- Ing over the vast expanse anil the autumn sun glided the bright butt'ns and gllltcrlng bayonets of a regiment of Infantry that with dllllcully held open n narrow nvenue Hut stretched back through the surging mass of people. At the other end of this opening a gate swung silently open and a line of carriages drawn by prancing horses and gorgeous with bunting , filed slowly Ihiough. The spectacle thrilled the crowd like n shock from a powerful bailor- . The band plaveil "Hall lo Iho Chief. " The flags flultcrod tumuttuously and the tremendous audience buist into a lunfure of cheers thai was al most deafening , whllo William MeKlnley stood In the leading carriage and bowed his appreciation of the tribute to the president. The progress to the band stand was accom panied by such an ovation as Omaha novel saw before and when the ofilclal company was seated In the ic.sorvcd space on Ihc platform the crowd beheld the greatest ar my of nolablcs lhal has ever hem ns'cmblci' In n western city. Tlrsl of nil , the piesldcnt , Ihcn General Miles , rcsplendenl In the uni form of a major general , members ol the cabinet , ministers of numerous foreign J1U11UU3 U11U gold completed an ensemble thai Inspired Iho crowd lo Ibe apeof pnlrlollc jubilation In Iho branches of Ihe small shade Irees that dotted the Plaza half a hundred gamins had found a retreat , from which they sur veyed with lordly complacency the suiglng sweltering pack below. The spectacle was Iho evep of Ihelr lives and they gave full vent to ihelr feelings nt the Imminent risk of foiling precipitately on the heads of those beneath them. They listened opcn-raouthed lo exercises that were Impressive almost be- > end conception , but In their estimation there was slill something lacking. This was cpllomlzcd by one ragged urchin who was heard to ejaculate , ns he dropped reluctanlly from his perch , "Golly. Jim , if Schley was only here , wouldn't It be a whale ? " His was not the only mind that concelvcc the sentiment. It had been the dream of the management to have the heroes of the navy represented In the magnificent demon strations of Jubilee week. But duty called them elsewhere and now for the first time Omaha has the opportuntly to honor the navy "through one of Its most illustrious chiefA Schley is here and , as the guesl ol a distinguished citizen of Omaha , ho has been met and greeted by thousands of men and women lo whom his name is the syn onym of vlctoiy. bchlej'M Personality. Of the personality of their guest they have lltllo new to learn. Nothing brings a man Into closer relation with the people of a country lhan his victories for Iho flag Since Cervcra stiuck his pennon the portrali of his successful opponent has ornamented the paces of liundreds of magazines and looked from the pages of the newspaper press In every part of the world. His his tory , his appearance , oven his manner of dress and his personal peculiarities have been exploited whether ho wished It or not Frequent repetlllon has made them familiar oven in the cross-roads towns , and there are hundreds of people in Omaha who know nearly as much about Admiral Schley as ho knows himself. If one thins moro than another has been impressed on the recollections of Ihoso who have met the admiral since his arrival In Omaha It is the marvelous facility with which ho puts every acquaintance nt case To people who are accustomed to think of aeaflghters as men who are grim , laclturn and unapproachable It Is somewhat surpris ing to find that Admiral Schley Is one ol the most thoroughly social and congenial characters that they have over encountered. He has the faculty of saying the right thing in the right place and his graceful tact hab contributed much to the pleasure of those who have enjoyed the privilege of making his acoualntancc. In all that has been said of Admiral Schley , however , the circumstances that led him to adopt the navy as the theater of his career seem to have been somewhat over looked. He is his own authority for the 'i stnlemcnt that this was not his first inten tion. "During my youth at Frederlchtown 1 ex- peeled to go to West Point , " ho said to a caller yesterday. "General Wlnlleld Scott was my godfather and a cadetshlp was the goal llmt he held before me. But by the lime I reached the ace that entitled mo to enter the general had become nt outs with Ihe powers at Washington and his Influence was no longer potent. Ho moved to Now Yolk and my anllclpatlons of an appoint ment to West Point went glimmering. " Schlcy's first idea of Joining the navy came with the visit of a cousin who had entered the naval service some time previously. The cousin Insisted lhat Schley was not cut out for an army officer anyway. Nature had des- j lined him for tdo navy and to Ihe navy he must go , That these nrgumcnls were not without effect became apparent soon after. The admiral admits that the manner In which his cousin's handsome uniform caught tbo fancy of the Frcderlcktown young women may have Influenced his decision , bul , however lhat may bo , ho eventually enlered Iho naval school , from which he subsequently embarked on Iho career lhat was crowned with the brilliant achievement at Santiago. Ills appointment to Annapolis was secured Ihrough tbo Influence of the member of congress from his homo dlstilct , who had studied law In the office of Schloy's fathe/ , and ho was glad lo reciprocate In that way the many favors ho had received ftom his legal lutor. Jlarlmrii iTllcnie - oi n . -iijin. . Among the recollections of his boyhood that Schley still retains Is that of Barbara Krltchle , whose name has been made famous by Whittlcr's Inspiring poem barn of the Stonewall Jackson raid. H was of his early home that the pool t > ald : Up from the meadows ilch with corn , Clear In the cool September morn , The clustered spires of I'rcderlck stand Green-walled by the hills of Maryland. Whether 'Baifoara ' really Hung the flag from her nttlo window as Jackson's men came marching through , or whether "Shoot , If you must , this old gray he u ] , Hut spare your country's flag , " she told. Schley cannot tell , but * he says that ho has a distinct remembrance that the woman herself was no myth. She was a familiar character Jn Frederlchtown during the ' 60s and he remembers her because she used to give him figs when he was a boy. In common with most seamen , the ad miral has some Ideas that are not without an element of superstition. Ono of them Is that Sunday la a day of no ordinary sig nificance In his calendar. This was one reason why ho was so certain that Corvorn would attempt lo get past hla ships on that eventful July morning , and U was one reason why bo stuck close to the neck of the bottle -while Sampson missed the critical moment and tbo opportunity. Halt a dozen of thu most stirring Incidents of hli career Imv-p occurred on thin ( ! > ' of the week One of his hardest fight * when ho vvns with Fnrrrtgut en the Mississippi , his encounter with the Corenn forces Juno 11 , 1ST1 , and various other similar .coincidences , have convinced him that the Sabbith Is his day on which to fight and conquer. That mix-up with the , Corenn nrmy Is ono of the Incidents lhat have not been Riven a prominent place In the foreign wars of this country , but It was nevertheless quite n serious mailer at the tlmo. In 1SC.O the schooner Genera ! Sherman loaded a cargo of notions and alienated to open trade with Corea , which was nt that time n sort of hermit empire that refused to deal with forclgni'ts any more than was absolutely necessary. The result was that Ihe Coreans burned the schooner and murdered Iho crow lo n man. Nrt n soul escaped to carry the news home and It was a 5car or two before n glimmering of the truth leached the American embatsy nt Peklu. Thence the facts were icportcd to Washington and the Asiatic squadron was ordered to Invosllgatc. Schley was with Ihe squadron nt the time and was nn active participant In the lively limes that followed HIP arrival of the American fleet nt Corca. When It Hrst arrived the Corean * declined to make any explanation. They also suggested that they were quite prepared to Ircat the nuw arrivals Just as they did the Trench some } cars be fore. When the American shlp < * attempted to pass up Ihe Saleo fiver Ihc Corean forll- flcatlons opened fire. This biought an ulti matum from the American commander and as It was not compiled with ho landed 1,200 men and attacked the fortifications. There were several lively encounters and finally , on the Sunday morning refelicd lo , Ihc op posing forces met In a dc pcrale fight , end ing with the entire- destruction of the Ccrean forces , the loss of their fortifications and the destruction of two or Ihrco of Ihelr towns. That the lesson was not Ineffective appeared some time after , when the Corean Kovcinment sent a commission to Washing ton to nsk that an embassy might bo 10- cched. The request was gianted and the piescnt treaty with Corca wai the result. U Is notable that It was only after this em bassy was received that this government was able to ascertain the exact spot where the American sailors wore murdered and w hy. hy.Whllo Whllo Admiral Schlev Is chary of talking of other officers he did not refuse to express his Idea of the greatest seafightcr Hint his tory has produced Ho considered Nelson , the hero of Trafalgar , as clearly entllled to this honor. Ho declared that no other ad- mlial could be compared with Nelson , who had accomplished the most marvelous results In splto of his defective ceslght. Nelson had n wonderful Instinctive Knowledge of everything that pertains to seacraft and ho succeeded In the face of circumstances that scarcely another man could have met suc cessfully. Next to Nelson , Schley believes Farragut to be the greatest admiral who ever handled a squadron "No ono who has never seen Farragut in action , " he declare ? , "can have the slightest conception of his character. He was not over five feet six In height and was ono of the quietest and most mild-man nered men I ever saw. But the transforma tion that occurred when ho saw fighting ahead was marvelous. In action he looked ten feet tall and seemed to towel above everything around him. Ho WHS the very personification of power and It seemed to those who saw him then that ho could control'Ihe elements. Men could accomplish anything under such a leader. " In this connection the followlne paraljel between Schlov and Nelson , which was drawn In a recent Issue of the Chicago Tribune , Is especially pertinent : "The presence In Chicago of Rear Admiral Schley recalls the striking parallel which exists between his conduct at the batlle with Cervera's licet off Santiago and that of tbo then commodore , Horatio Nelson , at the battle of St. Vincent. In both cases the enemy was a Spanish fleet. Both Schley and Nelson were subordinate officers , serv ing under a commander-In-chlef. Schley lo cated Cervera in the harbor of Santiago and there waited for Sampson to come up. Nel son , two days before the battle of St. Vin cent , located the Spanish fleet and passed through the enemy's lines as the ships of the Dons were leaving the Strait of Gibraltar. Ho brought word of their near approach to his commanding officer , Sir John Jervls. Then followed the two battles. Sampson viout down the coast that morning with his flagship to hold a conference. Sir. John Jervls In his big sailing ship , the Victory , was driven out of the Hue of battle by nn adverse wind. But for Schley on the Brook lyn and Ihe ships under his Immediate com mand the Spanish fleet would probably have escaped. It was Nelson on the Captain who provenlcd the Spaniards from passing astern of the English line end maklnc their way to Cadez in safety. Here the parallel ends Sampson sent a cablegram announcing that 'the fleet under my command' had whipped the Spaniards Sir John Jervls called Nelson on board the flagship and publicly embraced him. Sampson In his report save no espe cial credit to his Intel lor. Sir John Jervls announced that the great skill and daring of Nelson had been chiefly responsible for the victory. There was a nasty scandal in congress - gross when the question of promotion , growIng - Ing out of the battle of Santiago , cama up. The British Parliament voted thanks by ac clamation.

" The question was suggested In the course of a conversa tion In which the remarkable ficedom from fatalities that was a fcatiuo of the recent naval engagements was being commented on. General Manderson Jocosely suggested that If ho was looking for a real safe place ho would want to bo on u battleship and fight every day. The admiral laughingly admitted that the Americans had apparently been In very little danger from the Spanish gunners , but ho suggested that this had not always been thdlr experience. In reply lethe the query ho said lhat ho had been In sev eral places that looked pretty tight to him at the time. After srfmo reflection ho de cided that ono of the most dangerous periods In his career was when ho was engaged In the operations cast of Mobile , A number of small bpats belonging to the union forces liad been flred on by Iho confedciato rifle men and nearly all their crews were cither .Illod or wounded , Then the bpats drifted nto Iho surf , where Ihey promised lo become - como a lotnl loss. Captain Frank Wlnslow called Scbley lo him and suggcsled that whllo ho would not order any men on such a dangerous mission , ho would render a con spicuous public eervlco by going out In n small boat and rescuing the boats and the wounded. This was all Schley wanted , and n a mlnuto or two ho was on his way. Ho and his crow were aesallcd by n storm of mllcts that threatened to annihilate them icforo thr ) had covered half the distance. A sergeant who eat nt Schley's le't fell dead at the first flto. The man at his right opplcd over a second later and almost at he same instant the coxswain shouted that 10 was hit and called for someone to relieve him at the tiller. In the midst of this cam- ago Schley vas unharmed , but be considers It ono of the longest chances he over look. "But wo got the b.ats and the wounded , " ho declared , und seemed to consider big own peril a secondary consideration. 1'MMlnr Cilllfll lo Oxinoinl , OSMOND , Neb , May 20.
