Although It was moro than 250 yearn ago
that the members ot the Ancient Order of
the Knlghls of Ak-Sar-Bon paid their first
visit to the plains of the Kingdom of Qui
vera , now known as Nebraska , the followers
of the then mighty kins , Tatarrax , built up
n dynasty that has withstood the onslaught
of the Intervening centuries. Ever since
those days when the followers of the old
king set out from Mexico In quest of the
Seven Cities of Clbola , which .wero . belloved
to be In the Kingdom ot Qulvern , the dc-
econdnnts have been loyal to his memory
nnd the rqlgn of each succeeding monarch.
With glad acclaim they have heralded the
coming of caoh now king and each succeed
ing autumn have made the streets of the
favorite city , Omaha , ring with their glad
huzzas.
Each year there have been festal occasions ,
but none have compared with that of last
night , -when the whole city and the sur
rounding country turned out to witness the
Initial parade of the week , put on by the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Bcn and which traversed
the streets of the business portion of the
city amid the wildest enthusiasm.
Omaha lias had the reputation of ( being a
city , the people of which never enthuse over
a good thing. However , that Is a statement
that la engraved upon the tablets of the dim
and misty past. Last night a change scorned
to come ever the people of the city , and
Instead of silently gazing at the parade as
It passed , they rended the cool night air
with loud cries of applause , at the same
tlmo cracking the car drums with the noise
of blowing horns , ringing bells , beating
upon drums and otherwise showing their
appreciation of the epoch marking the com
ing of a king.
Hum Rcil Fire.
On nearly every corner hugo plica of red
flro burned during the passing of the floats ,
while from windows and cupolas hung ban
ners of trl-colorcd bunting and the familiar
rod , green and yellow flags of the knights.
They .numbered thousands nnd as they waved
in tho' gentle breeze their colors formed a
prptty back ground for the myriads of brll-
"Vi.-J.'W tL tgrueil-along"ttio > ' 'jlllo''of'
march nnd upon the streets below.
With reference to the crowds. All day
yesterday the trains coming to the city wore
ueavlly loaded , with a Jam during the after
noon. As the shades of evening drew on
opaco , itho people of this city , South Omaha
nnd Council Bluffs commenced to move nnd
before dark every car coming into the cen
tral portion of the city was crowded. All
thcso cars deposited their loads of human
freight and returned ifor moro. This con
tinued until the parade was well on Its way
flown town and still there were thousands
who _ came In carriages and on foot. The
country people from nearby wore out In large
numbers and from the middle of the nftcr-
noon -until night all the thoroughfares were
black with teams. In fact , with one or two
possible exceptions , It was the largest crowd
ever eeen upon the streets of Omaha. Points
of vantage from which to view the parades
wore In good demand and In many Instances
windows and cholco locutions on the streets
cold at good prices.
The arrangements for handling the crowds
were perfect. Police were detailed for every
Btroot Intersection In the down town dis
trict and at no time did the officers permit
the great throngs of people to break Into tbo
street to Impede the movements of the par-
ado.
The I1 nrnilc MOWN.
The starting place ot the parade was from
Sixteenth nnd Cum Ing streets nnd there the
bands , nlno In number , congregated. Wlillo
waiting they rendered several popular nlrs
and thus kept the people good natured ,
Ona now feature that the people Intro
duced was the throwing'of confetti. Kvery-
where along the line of anarch this was
thrown. It was thrown at the floats , at
the people on the sidewalks nnd nt these In
the grandstands , nnd after the parndo had
passed the streets had the appearance of ba-
dng carpeted with red , white and green bits
of paper.
Llko all Ak-Sar-llcn parades , the ono last
night was handled by the members of the
Hoard of Governors , who presented a strik
ing appearance , clad In thulr eults , conslstr
Ing of bright scarlet coats embroidered with
Bold lace , white pants , red cnps and black
riding boots , n rallies the members of the
Doard of Governors there were hundreds ol
outriders , slaves , light bearers and servants
all of whom wcro nhvajs on hand to obey
the commands of their masters.

SHINGTON , Sept. 26. Attorney Gen-
has written the following reply
pcently received from Governor
receipt of your letter of the
21st IlJ nt asking mo to send you a copy
of my opinion to the effect that under the
constitution of the United States congress
cannot enact a law which would bo effective
In strvorefwlng trusts , so-called. In reply
I beg to say that I have never rendered ,
neither ofllclally or unofficially , any opinion
of that kind. On the contrary , this de
partment has been engaged In bringing
numerous suits In the United States courts
under the Sherman net of July 2 , 1800 , en
titled "An Act to Protect Trade nnd Com
merce Against Unlawful Restraints and
Monopolies , " In several of which cases ,
notoriously that against the Transmlssourl
Freight association , 166 U. S. 290 , and that
against the JoTnt Trnftlc association. 171 U.
S. 605 , the result has been the suppression
by decree of the court of the offending
agreement or association.
"You may possibly have reference to a
letter of mln do a private citizen published
several months ngo In the newspapers where
in I called nitration to the fact that the only
jurisdiction that congrces has over combina
tions or jpntracts In restraint of trade was
in relation to these which directly affected
Interstate commerce. That this Is true and
that thls Is the full extent of the Sherman
trust net , you will ascertain by reading the
decision of the United States supreme court
n tlio case of Hopkins vs. the United States ,
71 U. S. 678 , and the case of the United
States vs. E. C. Knight company , 166 U. S. 1.
"You nro doubtless awnro that It Is not the
Ight or function of the federal government
o Interfere with business transactions cnr-
led on within the several states , except upon
omo ground expressly authorized by the
onstltutlon. Congress can regulate directly
bat which wo understand by 'Interstate
ommerce , ' but It has no power to regulate
or control business or commerce carried on
wholly within the limits ot a state.
"I have called your attention to thcso mat
ers , not because I assume that you arc
gnornnt of them , < for you doubtless under-
tand them well , but only In order to explain
o you that I ihavo not given and could not
possibly have given nny opinion of the pur-

LONDON , Sept. 20. ( New York World Ca
blegram Spsclal Telegram. ) The two dls-
patchea lately sent by Joseph Chamberlain ,
secretary ot Btato for the colonies , have de
stroyed the last lingering hope of the peace
party here. These messages nre Interpreted
na deliberately framed so ns to make a
settlement so difficult as to bo humanly Im
possible. It Is questioned 'whether , In view
of their character , the Transvaal could even
propose to revive Its offer ot a five-year
franchise and It Is suggested In political
circles now that the only substantial hope
of peace left would bo through the Inter
vention of the United Stateo government
ns a mediator.
Army men all dcclnro thnt nothing but
a mlraclo can now avoid war with the
South 'African republic. The cabinet mln-
Istors evidently do not expect a peaceful
Issue of the crisis , for I hear thnt the
[ speaker of the House of Commons nnd
! ether high officers of the government have
been notified to hold themselves In readiness
! for .1 reassembling of parliament on two
. days' notice. The proclamation calling
j parliament together has been drafted al
ready and is only awaiting the Insertion
of a date.
The prediction In official circles Is that
the Transvaal , unices It does the unexpected
by submitting , will send a reply defiant In
tone nnd notifying England nt the samu tlmo
hat any further massing of troops on the
rentier of either the South African republic
or the Orange Free State will bo treated
as a hostile act.
This , It la supposed will bo followed by
an immediate outbreak of hostilities and
ho British forces will be compelled to act
on the defensive until English reinforce
ments arrive. In the event of any hostile
act , parliament will Instantly bo summoned
o convene and nskcd by the government
or nn opproprlatlon of at least $50,000,000
o cover the expenses of the war. The In
dications that tbo situation Is grave are
iclghtcned by the fact that a suite of cabin
rooms have been reserved on the English
Incr sailing from Capetown next Sunday
'or ' Sir Redverso Buller , who has been se-
ccted as commander in chief of all the
British forces in South Africa In the event
of an outbreak of war.
The Cape Line Steamship company has
been notified , too , that the government ,
acting under the statutory process conferred
'or times of national danger , may demand
ho entlro accommodation aboard Saturday's
steamer for war purposes.
ANHoclntcd Presn ninimicIicH.
LONDON , Sept. 26. The general feeling ,
Including that ot the pro-Boers , as Indicated
by articles in the afternoon newspapers to
day. Is thnt the published dlspntch ol the
secretary of state for the colonies , Mr.
Chambjnrlalni lo the Brltlih hlghcommls-
slonef In "South Africa , Sir Alfred ) Mllner ,
clears the way for peace if the Boers desire
It. In any event , it Is pointed out , it affords
further delay , which In the case of Great
Britain is certainly advantageous , as It
? lves tlmo for the reinforcement of the gar
risons at the capo. The papers generally ,
liowovor , express the hope that President
Kruger will now see his way to meet Great
Britain's views , and the Westminster
Gazette , which is not an anti-Boer paper ,
says : "President Kruger and his advisers
still have a chanceof securing peace with
independence. "
In the meanwhile the dispatch of troops
to South Africa proceeds uninterruptedly.
Three field batteries arrived at Blrkenheaa
today and will embark for Durban , Natal.
A cablegram from Capetown says : "Quan
tities of stores and ammunition are leaving
hero dnlly. The movement of troops to
Natal is merely a precautionary measure to
secure the coal mines , and Is nowise in tha
nature of a menace. There are no imperial
troops on the Immediate border. Humors
of collisions should bo received with cau
tion. "
A dispatch from Pretoria says that a
Maueor rifle , in the hands of a burgher , who
was practicing with it , burst recently ana
nearly killed him , with the result that tv
great number of burghers are gravely con
cerned at the apparent Insecurity of tha
now weapon. They assert that the cart
ridges arc worthless and oxo appealing to
the government to revert to the Martini , or
Investigate andi remedy the grievances.
Deluy Create * Uuil IiiiprcNHloii.
The Times has a dispatch from Johannes
burg which asserts that the delay Is creat
ing the worst possible Impression in the
minds of the burghers , who tauntingly boast
that while Great Britain deprecates delay
upon the part of the Boers , It Intentionally
and unnecessarily prolongs the controversy
because It is afraid to follow up its own
game of bluff with the arguments of force.
Reports are heard on all sides of the
eagerness of the Boers to start hostilities
nnd 'their postponement Is said to be solely
duo to the restraining influence of General
Joubert. It la added that it Is believed this
Influence cannot bo exercised much longer.
There Is a circumstantial rumor that Gen
eral Joubort has received imperative orders
from the armed burghers that unless ho is
prepared to take the initiative within a
brief period ho must relinquish bis com
mand of the army. This is looked upon as
Instructive Indication of Boer feeling ,

CAPETOWN , Sept 26. The South African
NOWJ today prints a dispatch from Pretoria
saying the "alleged change in British public
opinion and the absence of alarming reports
subsequent to the meeting of the council are
considered hopeful signs. "
Tbcro Is no official news from Bloem-
fontcln , but there Is not the slightest doubt
ubout the attitude of the Orange Free Sae.
At a meeting ot Scandinavians there it was
unanimously decided to support the govern
ment. Only twenty members of the first
Raad nro In town and It Is expected that
the legislature will dissolve at nuy moment.
The Jews nt a meeting have resolved to
support the government and have offered to
equip and provision a police corps of 200
men.

Plet Kruger , grandson of the president of

asks whether or not It is the government' *
duty to inform the Imperial government that
any further landing of troops will bo con-
aldered a caeus belli ,
AVorklnir for 1'eni-e.
The Times today has a dispatch from
Plotermarltzburg , Natal , reporting that a
meeting which has arouecd a strong feeling
among the loyalists was hold by the Afri
kanders. A strongly worded resolution was
rmtuixl asking the government to recall the
colonial forces on the border , as their prai-
cnc tlwra was Inimical to peace and Is
calculated to cause trouble with their fellow.

Schrolner was read eaylng the government

was supported by two Justices of th6 peace.
The Indications nt the agency of the

Assistant Secretary of wgf Mclklejohn , pre
sented to the prcsldcnt today , an Invitation
from the people of Nebraska and the expo
sition managers to Inulurlo Omaha In his

somewhat reluctant to accept the invitation
on the ground that ho hTid teen In Omaha

For some tlmo past efforts have been
raado by the leading people of Broken Bow
to substitute that city ior Anselmo ns the
I head ot the star route from Ansflmo to
'
Sargent. A great many petitions have been
'
filed with Assistant Postmaster General
i Shallenbergcr , who has charge of mall
I routes , In favor ot this change. Today the
| department Temporarily put a damper on
the Broken Bow end of the situation by
ruling that Anselmo is ns' good a point of
supply aa Broken Bow , ep far as gsneral
mall lo concerned , and that as regards the
j local mall exchanged between Broken Bow
and the postofflccs on the , route , they say
that a mal | leaving Broken Bow late at
night will reach nil thepostomces enumer
ated in the petitions by nbon of the next
day , via Anselmo , and mall leaving thoao
poatofficea In the afternoon will reach Broken -
ken Bow early ths next morning under ex
isting arrangements. They admit that the
direct means ot communication with Broken
Bow would of course be Improved so fur
, na the dispatch of local mail Is concerned.
ltmt they say also there are disadvantages
connected with the proposed change. The
route from Broken Bow would be three
miles longer than the present route and
General Shollenberger says , a'n allowance
would have to to mafl' ' 'or'isuch on increase -
crease and that It wouliA be necessary to
provide for the supply of New Helena by
a separata route , which they consider would
, involve considerable expense beside that
| paid at present. General Shallenborger
i states that it was the understanding of the
, department that a railroad is in course of
! : construction to Sargent and as soon as the
, ' 'building of the road Is completed and trains
put in operation the establishment ot rnll-
l-way j mail service would bo desired by the
. people of Sargent and such an establish-
j 1 ment would probably necessitate a re-
I arrangement of the star service leading out
|
' of Sargent , Under existing circumstances
ho ruled that the present route would not
i bo chanzed.

but never anything like there. They nre
magnificent ; I cnnnot understand It sucn
splendid young fellows. How docs It hap
pen'1
"Well , " said the admiral , "wo look for the ,
beet men , we come closer to our men , we
treat them hotter than other countries nnd
wo pay them better. "
"Then I called a < rnnn and snld to him :
'How much do you get a month ? '
"Ho saluted nnd said , 'Eighty dollars ,
sir. ' The arcttblshop was astonished. You
know $ SO would pay a whole shipload or
Spnnlnrdfc. After that the archbishop had
n very great respect for us nnd became
very friendly.
"Hero I have a picture of General Luna
which was given to me by the archbishop. "
The admiral then sent an orderly for the
picture of the Philippine general who wns
"murdered by order of Agulnnldo , " as he
said. The picture wns that of a negro In
a sort of military uniform. On the back
was an Inscription in Spanish to the arch
bishop of Mnnlln , Father Bernardino Mc-
salndo. It was signed by Luna. Admiral
Dewey then snld Luna was the best man
the Filipinos had.
Flllplnon a U'lccr Lot.
"It was a plot , " ho said , "to assassinate
him. A crack swordsman was placed as
sentry nnd when Luna appeared ho simply
stabbed him. But thcso fellows all , " sate
the admiral , "aro a queer lot. They were
simply servants and stablemen and Agul
naldo was a junior clerk In the navy yard.
He is a pretty smart fellow. I know him
pretty well ; In fact , wo were great friends ,
and ns a matter ot fact he has not the brains.
There nro people behind him , some of them
lawyers and able fellows , who make a tool
of Agulnaldo. Here , toy the way , Is a cane
which ho presented' to me , " and the ad
miral produced a thick black stick , carved
and resembling Orl&h dog oak moro than
anything else.
"I thought , " said the admiral , "that this
thing In the Philippines would be over before
this , as it should have been. I can't im
agine how they have stood out until now.
Of course , there was the rainy season , nnd
I suppose little was done. Ono great trouble
out there has been that General Otis has
tried to do too much. I told him so. He
wants to bo general , governor , Judge nnd
everything else anil have bold of the irons.
No man can do that. This is the great
trouble. It Is enough for a man to do ono
thing , to too ono thing , but when a man
tries to bo everything it is easy to imagine
the result.
"Tho light In the Philippines should be
easily ended. The people have been so badly
treated for such a length ot time by the
Spaniards that they are distrustful. This Is
the great difficulty in dealing with them.
Where wo Iwo met them and they have
been In such contact with us as to learn
that we mean to treat them well ; where
they have eeen that we mean what wo say ,
there Is no trouble. They stand by us all the
time. All of them will learn this In time.
They will get from under the Influence of
Agulnaldo , or rather those people who nro
behind Agulnnldo , who , as I said before , is
a mere tool.
"Do I think the Filipinos are. fit for self-
government ?
"Well , no ; not Just now ; they probable
will bo In n very little time. They are very
queer people a very queer mixture. Many
of them nre qulto civilized and good people ,
but I do not think they nro fit for eelf-gov-
ernment Just yet. But when I say that , I
must add nt the same time that It Is my
candid opinion that they are more fitted for
It than the Cubans , that they are a better
people than the Cubans In every way. I do
wish , however , that the whole business was
settled , and I think that after a little the
Filipinos will take kindly to us. "
IJe v > v Not a SlnlcHinnn.
It was ouggested to the admiral that the
democratic slate had been settled with Ad
miral Dewey for the presidency , nnd Gen
eral Wheeler for the vice presidency.
"Well , " said the admiral , "we should
make a pretty mess of It. General Wheeler ,
of course , has had some training In the po
litical school , but then ho Is a Wrst Pointer ,
I had forgotten that. Ho would want to
run everything oo bo would a regiment and ,
of course , would make a splendid mess of
It. You cnnnot run a government ns you
would n regiment. "
"Well , " admiral , "suggested the reporter ,
"It would not be such n change from the
ship Olympla to the ship of state. "
"Yes , " said the admiral , "It would bo a
very great change. I am not n politician ,
I am a sailor , my training has been all that
way. I am at home on board my ship. I
know my business , or at least should know
It , and I do not want to mix up In the
affairs of the government. I am perfectly
satisfied to live and die a simple sailor who
tries to do his duty. I am not a politician.
I cannot make n speech even ; I wish I
could , but I have to bo contented with my
lot. "
Some one said Just then to the admiral
that his son was reported to have made n
statement to the effect that his father waft
n dyed-in-the-wool republican ,
The admiral laughed outright and pointed
to a piece of wood laying on the deck some
yards away , at the' same tlmo saying : "My
son knows as much about what my politics
are as that stick. "
The admiral would not say a word about
the alleged Interference of the German ad
miral , Dlederlchs , at Manila.

NEW YORK , Sept. 26. Admiral George
Dewey arrived oft Sandy Hook nt dawn nud
the Olympla Is now anchored In American
wntcra In the light of Sandy Hook.
The first shout of welcome was from the
plltots and crow of pilot boat No. 7 , fifteen
miles south of the Hook lightship. H hap
pened to bo Pilot John Peterson's turn , nnd
nt 6DO : a. m. ho was put aboard the OlympU
nnd brought It nround the Hook and Into
the lower bay.
The marine observers nlong the const had
sighted the Olympla In the Hrbt light of the
morning. The shore batteries of Fort Hun-
cock , mnnned by gunners called frc n break
fast , let loose seventeen guns. The flagship
replied with twenty-one and let go Us anchor
not far from where the cup challenger
Shamrock Is moored.
The admiral was In his own country
ngaln after twenty-three months' absence.
Ho had returned "great with the arduouu
greatnesa of things done , " and his excel
lency seemed to realize It. The pilot brought
aboard the Sunday papers nnd a reporter ot
the Associated Press wns received by the
ndmlrnl In n cabin littered , wlth the Illus
trated Dewey editions , which , together adc
hundreds of pages in blnck and white and In
colors , nil concerning the grcnt ndmlrnl nnd
the preparations made to receive him.
"It almost saddens me , " he said , "to nee
what my people nro doing for me. The
pride nnd gratification Is Immense and I can
not express the appreciation I feel. I did
not know , I did not really perceive until
this moment the splendid welcome that my
countrymen are giving me. The governors
of many states are coming to see mo and
troops from Florida , Georgia and other far
away states nre on their way to take part
in receiving me. "
The admiral stroked the head of a tawny-
haired dog , the "Chow" dog of a Chlncsn
breed that appears in the Illustrated Inter
views of the admiral.
"Bob here , " ho said , "Is not well. Ho
j earns to bo ashore. Ho Is sick
to get a Httlo grass and to scamper
around. I fe l a good dead that way myself.
I am mighty glad to'get'hornoy It ls-wNX-
gocd for a man any moro than a dig to Hvo
on board ship for twonty-thrco months. "
Admiral In Good IlriiKIt.
The admiral said ho felt tired , but ho did
not look so. His complexion Is n clear bronze ,
his hazel yen bright , his bearing brisk nnd
rather Jaunty. Some deep lines are under
his eyes and around his mouth , but his voice
Is slngulnrly clear nnd pleasant. The ad
miral's appearance Is that ot a man in his
fullest powers. His manner Is gentle and
kind , but < ho Is exceedingly wnry nnd did
not permit himself to wander off Into poll-
tics or to express thcso positive views hone
no doubt holds about the Philippines and
American affairs there. Ills attention was
brought to interviews in which ho IB described -
scribed ns going rather fully Into the charac
ter of the Filipinos nnd their fitness for self-
government.
"I cannot stand for any Interview giving
my opinions on political subjects nnd the
Philippines. I disown any views ascribed tome
mo on these subjects. "
Alluding to his arrival two days ahead of
the tlmo he > was expected , Admiral Dewey
said :
"I nm sorry thnt I nm ahead of the
schedule. The Olympla has been steaming
at the uniform rate of ton knots nn hour
since wo left Gibraltar. Several clays ngo
wo know we would arrive before Thursday
unless wo moderated our speed or went out
of our courso. Captain Lamborton , Lieuten
ant Brumby nnd I hold a consultation. The
propriety ot running into Hampton Reader
or some other port In the south was spoken
of , but wo concluded that wo ought not to
touch land first anywhere except at New
York. It was suggested that wo cruise some
distance outsldo Now York harbor until
Thursdny , but wo know thnt If wo did that
wo would bo discovered nnd reported. The
weather looked a Httlo squally nnd U
seemed better to bo insldo the Hook than
outside. But tbo consideration thnt really
decided UB to coma into port was to give
Captain Lnmberton a chance to clean up the
ship 'beforo our voyage up the harbor. Cap-
tnln Lambcrton nnd I are very proud of the
Olympla and wo wanted to make It look
Hplclc and span , "
Touching Up the Olympic. . "
The Olympla looks ns smart now ns n
yacht. The anchors were hnrdly down be
fore details of the crow wore washing the
ship's white sides nnd touching up the stains
with paint.
The admiral's first business was to nond
an officer ashore with telegrams for the
Navy department , Mayor Van Wyck and
General Butterfleld announcing the arrival.
Ho then spent moro of the morning in
looking over newspapers nud receiving re
porters.
Ho wns just finishing a mlddny brcnkfast
when Sir Thomas Lipton called on him.
With Sir Thomas was Dr. Macltuy nnd other
visiting Englishmen.
"I suppose you have come for the tea. "
said Admiral Dewey , referring to Blr
Thomas' gift of five pounds of tea to each
man on tbo ship at Columho.
"No , you nro welcome to that If anybody
can drink It , " replied Sir Thomas.
The admiral and the cup challenger had
a fifteen-minute talk. As sfr Thomas and
his friends left the Olympla n half-hundred
of the ship's crew cheered the baronet.
"I could not stop them , " cried out Ad
miral Dewey , waving his hand to Sir Thomas
Lipton , "They had no orders to do that. "
Admiral Dewey then had a succession of
notnble callers ,
Rear Admiral Sampson , with Capt&ln
Chadwlck , his chief of staff , and Lieutenant
Commander Wlnslow , his flag nontenant ,
came on the Dolphin. Whan the dispatch
boat was a milo away it began tiring an
admiral's salute und the Olympla replied
with a rear admiral's salute of thirteen
guns. The Dolphin anchored near thn
Olympla and Hear Admiral Sampson and
his staff went aboard. They were received
by Admiral Dewey , Cuptuln Lnmburlnn
Lieutenant Brumby and the ollicer of the
derk , the full marine guard nnd baud be
ing paraded. The offlr.tri went to thn ad-
