Count Ton Maul-Eel. under secretary
of finance of the Ajiinan empire, and Ma
private secretary. P. X- Radxiwill. arrived
Id Omth yesterday aft -moon In m prlrit
car, and will remain in Omaha mm the
g-.irts of Mr. Luther L. Kountxe until
Tuesday.
Count von Maul-Esel Is making a trip
a-cross the continent, and his passing
through Omaha is therefore not aa unuaual
drrumstance. It being on the great trara
oontinental highway, but his sr;ipr.lr.g over
brrn several days, and particularly his
reason for doing an. are unusual and of
txcportancs to Omaha.
"It la the only one of the cities In the
central part of your great country wtth
which my country has always hewn on the
aooet friendly terma. and of which my
countrymen have the highest regard, of
which I had heard extensively a number
af tlroee Id Austria, and In a manner pe
culiar to Omiiv" aaid Count Ton Maul
Esel last night, "Almost every year far
nearly tea years," ha continued. "I have
heard one or more prominent travelers In
tny country, or la the countiiea )n which
Z have traveled, apeak of Omaha and of
tta Ak-Sar-Ben.
Haa Beea a Graaa XaftL.
I must admit that after the first time
Z Inquired; about your Knlirhts of Ak-8ar
Ben. for I confess that I aa Interested
la such thinsrs. and have been the chief
officer of a aomewhax similar organisaxlan. j
It la the same office that I learned aciun
this evenins what yon cari taa 'grand
mufti." But our aoclety ia purely for pleas
ant and amusement, while your society la
ao for the promotion of bumnesa. I am
not surprised at that, for we know how
much business progress all your country
haa bean makinr: but I azn not talking
business, or any parliamentary subjects on
this trio, which is also only far piaaaure
and to gain some knowledge. Last week,
when I stopped with some friends at New
port, I was asked by representatives of the
v Tnrk papers to speak on finances and
to- say something; on the new enrreary
measure which your houses of congress
are to pass at the request of yvur presi
dent this winter. But that would not be
rlsjbt. even If my trip were not one simply
fir pleasure, and purely private."
It was from Mr. W. T. TV 11 son of Kw
York. Count von MauJ-Ksel recalled, that
ha first heard of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Bsn,
and from Mr. Wilson and the mem
bers of his family, aa well as from others,
he also beard personally of the Traasmla
sisalppl expTunQoa. Ha regretted, ha said,
that he could not visit the fnlted State
next year on account of the exposition at
St. Looia. But circumstances were such
that ha could come this year, something
ha had been long desiring" to do. having
always taken a great interest In the TTnited
States, and he fnared that If he did not
else the opportunity this year his trip
might be Indefinitely postponed.
Ceases Craaa Dlplaaaaria Llaa.
Count) von Maul-Else! is a targe and hand
some man with suave manners, and speaks
English with very little accent. "Ha has
been in the Austrian diplomatic sarrica
since shortly after attaining his majority,
as were his father and grandfather betora
him. and oomea of a family which has been
distinguished for several centuries la his
native land.
All arrangements have been made by the
board of governors to sv Count von
Mani-Ssei at the Initiation tomorrow even
ing, and while he has not yet consented
to be there, the members of tha baard are
eonndent that after becoming a knight

cepted he will make a brk-f speech and
perhaps take part la sums of the cere
monies. Ha will be asked, if not against
tha rules of his society, to tell of soma of
Its games and frolics.
Ail knights who caa conveniently do so.
are requested to appear in proper drees
and assist tha reception committee, bat
doing so ta not obligatory, and not ex

Tha Grand View Improvement club went
on record last night as being opposed to
the pr-posmon of the Omsha Electric
Light and Power company f.T a ten-year
monopoly of at : set lighting. It also de
cided that it would not a.ly Itself with the
Central Federation of Improvement clubs
until the objects of the central body are
more clearly atated and it is made plain
that outside organisariona are not to be
admitted to membership.
The meeting was held at Fourth and
Center streets and was largely attended.
The special committee on street car ex
tension reported that it had held a con
ference with President Murphy of the
street railway company and that assur
ances were given by him thst the desired
extension of the line down Sixth street to
Bancroft is only delayed by the difficulty
in getting suitable rails and ties, and
that there ia an early prospect of this
trouble being removed. Eleven members
of the dub were present at the conference
and tha assurances received from the com
pany were very encouraging. The definite
decision of the proposed extension will be
arrived at by the next meeting of the
directory, which is booked for September
or In.
A communication waa read from Mr.
Xash of the Omaha Electric and Power
company, addressed to President Sunblad
of the club, in reference to the new com
pany s proposition to light tha city under
tha proposed ten-year franchise asked, and
requested the club to not permit itself ta
be influenced by reports and statements of
interested parties, and thst the club refrain
from taking any action on the matter until
the company can be heard before the club
through one of its representatives. The
proposition is to place a light on every
street intersection, thereby adding 30t or
mora electric lights to the city than is
now enjoyed by Denver, for ths same ag
gregate amount that the city is now pay
ing for its lights. The communication was
placed on flia.
WU1 Sot Jola reaeratlea.
Tha committee appointed to confer with
the Central Federation cf Improvement
Clubs submitted a verbal report, which was
in a measure adverse to the club taking
part la the federation until the purposes
of tha federation were better known. Ed F.
Morearity. who waa present by Invitation,
spoke adversely upon the proposition of
the club joining the federated club, if out
side associations and organizations are to
ne aamitlea to fellowship.
Ernest Sruht. another invited guest, de
livered a long address on municipal corrup
tion, and the indifference of the street rail
way company toward Its agreement when
South Sixth street was graded down with
the special understanding that tha SU net
car line would be extended southward to
Center or Bancroft street, and how subse
quently the communication and agreement
of the street car company was spirited
away from the flies ta the dry clerk's
office, and have never since been reerrvered.
He said he Is ready to contribute toward
the employment of counsel to compel tha
street railway to fulfill its agmenient-
The communication frosn the Central
Improvement club was laid on the table and
its consideration indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Morearity then addressed ths dub
on the proposition af the Electric Light
and Power company, and advised the dub
to go on record as opposed to the granting
