great ceremony of awakening the city was
novortlielPHi performed successfully by Hie
military bands mid the drum mid flfo corps
of the wholn garrison inarching nt the quick *
step from tl'o cnstlo to Iho Drandenburg
gate and back , rousing the population with
deafenlni ? eohoM. The cmporor and uinpiofs ,
ns usual , were early about. The significant
act of ledodlcatlng the linns of the Prussian
army , \\hlch occurred In the forenoon , wn a
moat solemn ceremony.
His mnjtsty , with the eldest prlnc" ,
walked briskly over from the castle to
Uhumcs hallt "Hull ot Glories" In whoso
Intotlor court In the presence ot Gormauj'H
emperor and princes the act took place. The
liana were piled up before an altar where
the Protestant ami Catholic nrmy chaplain1 ?
pel formed the dedicatory rites. The emperor
ppoKo kindly to Klold Marshal lllumcnthal ,
Sfi yoarH of age , who was present.
The em pi ess diove up In n co.ich and B\ !
with the two youngest princes , Oscar nmt
Joachim , and the little ptlncesses , all of
them witnessing the scene below from n
window o\ei looking the court. The sign and

It was noticed that dm lug the rcdcdlcn-
tlon the emperor addressed l.lndly words to
Prince Frederick Leopold , who Is hero for
a few d.ijn from his banishment In Casscl.
The emperors nddrcts duilng the exercises
was consldeied another deeply filgnlllcant
cxpicsslon of his majcstj's Ilnn Intention to
maintain the empire In Its integllty. The
pa ° sago nnirmtng the emperor's will to pre-
ser\o Ocrmnni's unltv and Indivisibility ,
and where ho said he would continue In spite
of all hindrances to make the na\y as pow
erful as the in my , made n deep Impression
and his lomarks arc this evening commented
on libcinlly in diplomatic circles
His majesty deltveiod his address In a
high-pitched , resonant , btildentolce. . Kaeh
.s ) liable was pathetically emphasized.
During the afternoon hours the emperor
called upon the ministers and pilnccs. The
United States ambassador , A. U. White , and
Mrs. White being out calling themselves ,
the empcior failed to meet them personally
nt their residence. The American colony
kept the da ) orthodoxlcally. Pastor Dickie
held n reception and Consul General Mafcoo
and Mi e Mason and Mrs. Robbing did the
same. The lost ot the Americans were out
calling all day.
The emporoi's address to the officers at
the Now Year's parade follows.
"The first day of the new ccntuiy sees
our auny. In other words , our people , In
arms , gathered around their Htandardi. ,
kncollng befoio the Lord of hosts , and ,
verll ) , If anyone has especial reason thlb
day for bowing down before God , It Is onr
army. A glance at our standards suffices
as un explanation , for they arc the embodi
ment of our history.
"In what condition did the past century
at its dawn find onr nrmy' The. glorlo'ia
army of Kiedenck the Gieat had slept upon
its lauielB , fossilized amid all the petty
detail of pipe clay , led by superannuated
and Inefficient generals , with otllcein unac
customed to useful woik and lost in de
bauch , luxury and foolish arrogance. Our
nrmy , in a word , was not equal to its mis
sion , which , indeed. It hud foi gotten , Heavy
waa the chastisement of hca\cn which over
took It and foil on our people. It was cast
Into the dust , the glory of Frederick was
extinguished and our standards wcie broken.
In many long jears of blltei servitude God
taught the people to look to It.self and ,
under the pressure of the foot of the proud
conqueior , onr people engendered in itoelf
the most sublime thought that It Is the
highest honor to dedicate onc'fl blood and
purse to the fatherland In her armed serv
ice.
I'rt-iIfi-IfU.'H Sulrlt In llic Arinj.
'Toim and life were given it by my great
grandfather , now laurels crowned the newly
created army and its jouthful banners , but
unl\ersal military service only attained its
true significance through our great depaited
cnipeior In his quiet work ho o\ohnl the
reorganization ot our army , in spilo of oppo
sition and Ignorance. His splilt filled the
ranks of onr aimj , even ns his own trust
in God boic. onr troops to astonishing vic
tories. With this , his own creation , ho
brought Iho German raccn together and gn\o
us back long desired German unltj. It Is to
him that our thanks arc duo and by the
help of that army the German empire , com
manding respect , has again assumed the
poHitlon assigned to It in the councils of
nations. It Is for jou , gentlemen , to preserve -
serve and employ In the new century the
old qualities by which our forefathers male
the nimy gie.it , namely , simplicity and
modesty In dally life , unconditional devo
tion to the royal service , the employment
of olio's whole strength of body and mind
in the ceaseless work of training and devel
oping our Hoops , and even as my grand
father labored for hlB nrmy , so will I , In
llko manner , unoirlngly carry on and carry
through the \\ork of reorganizing my navy ,
In order that It may bo Jiihtllled In ( .landing
bj the side of my land forces and that by
k the German empire may ulbo be In n po
sition to win the pluco which It has not ) ct
attained. With the two united , I hope to
bo enabled , with a linn tiust , in the guid

DHULIN. Jan 1. The Voerwaerts pub
lishes today what purports to be a resctlpt ,
written by Count MuravlofT nt the czm's
direction , addressed to the goveinment that
took part In the conference nt The Hague.
The rescript. It Is said , will be Issued on
the Russian now year , January 13 It re
news the expression of the aspirations of
the ernr for the peace of the world and the
diminution of armaments and points out
that the good work of The Hague threatens
to crumble away unless It la picsccutcd '
vvllh zealous devotion. Thru It proceeds
with an expression of regret that another
war has broken out , "Iho spreading of
which over the entire range of elvlllred
humanity has been for the present pre
vented by the pcacablo disposition of dlsln-
teieslcd Htates "
The itficrlpt then dcploies the fact that
the nations are now engaged In a monstrotn
rivalry In building naval armaments , iho
terrible results of which It pictures In elo
quent terms and concludes as follows-
"Tho ar at the beginning of the new
century sends his rescript into all lands ,
begging that International deliberations
may bo resumed on this most grave and
dlllk'iill of qucsttont , appcallnc m-ro r-p -

Very few people realize the enormous
value of the live block handled in a jcar
.it this point. The value of the SJ7,3Ci cat
tle received was J.3" .149SOO , while the 2,210-
1S2 hogs marketed here sold for $21,012,500.
Sheep to the number of l.ObO.SlD were sold
for $4.360.000 and the 31,2. > 3 head of horses
brought $1 6 < lijOCI. This gives a total valu-
'atlou ' of $62.1SS,3lil.
I During the vear the packing houses
slaughtered and packed 540,502 cattle , _ ' ,18b-
770 hogs , 701,300 sheep. A much larger per
centage of the receipts were parked hero
'than ' at any other of the great live stock
markets of the country. i
Close to ) . " > 000 cars of packing house prod
ucts were shipped out of South Omaha dui-
ing the twelve months ending December
31. Thib is quite an increase over former
While it Is a hard matter to form
an estimate of the average value of each
car , as the price of the product varies so
i much , It Is considered that $2,000 a car
Is a very fair and icasonablo average. At
, the flguies given the total value of the prod- I
ucth shipped out by the packers is $90- '
I 000,000. If not absolutely correct the total |
given is consldeied a very close estimate , j
With the extensions and Improvements In

Four members of the city council Ben
nett , Cllngen , Wear and ranferllk retire
In April. Of those whoso terms expire two
are democrats and two republicans. Ben
nett Is being talked of by the republicans
for major , while Harry Cllngen Is working
on .1 llttlo boom of his own for the same
position and Is reported to have the sup
port of a portion of the democracy.
Although a democrat Wear has made a
fairly good representative foi the Third
ward and ho Is trimming his sails for ro-
e'lectloii. Fanferllk , a republican member
fiom the Second ward , has given It out cold
that ho has had enough nnd will not make
any attempt to he to-elected This declina
tion ot Mr. Fanferllk will leave Iho way
open for Pal Ilaneit , who , It Is reported ,
will make another attempt to break into
olllclnl life. Mr. Batrett has retired from
the real estate business and It Is reporteil
that ho Is devoting his whole time to poll-
UCH Just now. Of these who will retain
their seals in the council Johnston U a
democrat , the other three members Kelly ,
Tralnor and Pllle being republicans. With
four members to elect nnd with three hold
over republicans In the bidy , It is thought
th.u there will bo no difficulty In electIng -
Ing enough republicans to control the or
ganization
Itepuhllcans are constantly casting about
for good timber both for the council and
Board of Education and the plan now Ute
to nominate only ilrst-class business men.
If this Is done the republicans will doubt
less carry the city. Numerous candidates
for major nio being talked rf W. A
Bennett , Dr W. H Slnbaugh , A. H. Kelly.
P. J Tralnoi and J B. Watklns are among
thcjo prominently mentioned.
The democrats appear to be equally nt sea
In regard to Ecltllng upon a candidate for
mayor , There U no dearth of candidates ,
but from prebont indications Ensor seems
to have iho best of it. Members ot the so-
called Enbor faction are altcady flxlng up
the framework for a renomlnatlon of theli
leader. When told of Elinor's candidacy Ed
Johnston and Tom Hector both laugh qui
etly and decline tn talk Johnston h&s not
publicly avowed his candidacy , but U U
known that ho Is busy fixing things so as
to throw thi > nomination Io either Hector or
himself Prom this time on more or leas
Interest In the coming campaign will be
manifest , although the nominating conven
tions will not meet until about the middle
of March
of I In1 Srliool Iliuiril.

It Is presumed that on January 4 Patrick

Judge Babcock for the olllco nnd records ,
which tlip latter now holds Mr. King was
elected police Judge nt the November election
under iho decision of the supreme court ,
which holds that police magistrates aril
county nnd not municipal officers. I'p to tins
last election South Omaha always elected Iti
police judge at the elty election In April
of each jeii. Judge Babcock was elected
Inprll , 1S9S , to serve for n term ot two
jcnrs , nnd he proposes serving out the time
for which ho was eleclcd. In speaking of
the mailer yeslerday Judge Bnbcock said
Hint If Mr. King made n demand for the of-
llce nnd iho records ho would most certainly
decline to turn over cither until Iho c\-
plrallon of his term In April. More than
likely the matter will bo taken into the
courls for a decision.

Spencer , agent of the comp my , and for the
captain The ship nailed without HOI vice of
the warrant on the captain , but Spencer was !
arrcfctod. j
Spencer , when neon by a reporter , was
very reticent , but asserted the men had not
been tendered to him and if they were ten-
deied to the ship without tickets from his
office the puller was obliged to decline to
receive them. Inspector Levy pnjs the men
\\ero tendered to Ihe company December 13 ,
by Ihe collector of customs and the com
puny accepted them and a jiimed responsibil

NEW YOUK , Jan. 1 This. , the first day
ot the new jcar , has been selected for the
Inauguration of the crusade against \lce on
the lower east side The movement has at-
Iracled wide attention by reason of the
forcca behind it. These include the Society
of Ethical Culture , who p Under , Prof Tellx
Adler , has announced his intention to rid
the congested district of its many "plague
spots. " Prof Adler will have the assist
ance o over a score of ministers of all
denominations ! , among them , It is reported ,
Hev. Charles A Brlggs , formeily of the
Presbyterian church , but now si Piotestnnt
Episcopal clergjman , and In charge of the
pro-cathedral In Stanton direct , the verj
center ofhat Is called "the infected ilis-
ttict" No pet plan ot campaign has been
outlined , but the work will be pursued with
aggressiveness Much of its force will be
derived from the fact that the better ele
ment of the district will lend a hand.
"Tho politicians will bo appealed to , nnd
If these appeals fall , then other means will
bo reported to "
Just what is me.nit by this the loaders
of the movement icfusr to sa > , but they in
timate that the politician who fails in his
duty will be treated to n dlfeagrcrablo sui-
prise. The police are also expected to lend
tholr earnest co-operation , and It Is ex
pected th it the bluecoats of the \arlous
police stations In the district will be given
definite ordeis when they hlart out on their
early evening and midnight patrols.
