Preceded by aa brilliant an electrical
escort aa ever trod the streets of an Im
perial city, King Ak-Sar-Ben X last night
made his glorious advent into the capital
of Qulvera amid the shouts and hurrahs
of 126,000 loyal and loving subjects.
No king on his throne could have looked
wore regal than did this king, just enter
ing his kingdom on the eve of his corona
tion. The tremendous ovation which Cibola
rendered its ruling monarch would be dif
ficult to duplicate in the courts of any of
the realms of the old world, where kingly
doings are more to the day's fashions than
In this land of occasional kinglets.
Lighted with tens of thousands of electric
lights, the royal city shone as one limitless
firmament of countless constellations. Lined
, with crowds so dense as to be Impenetrable,
its streets and avenues, stretching broadly
their great length, it would seem, for miles.
No wonder the royal mathematicians esti
mated that more than100,000 subjects of the
king had come to receive him.
The pageant never had a peer. It
stretched and wound Its great length, seem
ingly Interminable, deviously through the
broad thoroughfares from 8 o'clock far Into
the night, and then hordes of the eager
people of the realm tried to follow It Into
the royal camping ground, and doubtless
would hav succeeded had not Samson,
that faithful lord high chamberlain to the
king, forbade the Indulgence. '
The parade moved onto the car tracks at
Sixteenth and Cuming streets and from
there swept south to Howard, turned to the
east as far as Fourteenth, then north to
Douglas, on whlcn street the floats went
east as far as Tenth. On Tenth they
crossed to Fnrnam and after passing the
reviewing stand at the city hall turned to
Harney, down to Fifteenth, north to Cap
itol avenue, where the actors on the floats
put on their overcoats and warmed them
selves In such wnys as seemed best to
them. .
KltiK Ilrniln Proclamation.
'The great and ancient .ceremony at the
City hi.ll was carried out as usual. King
-i Ak-Bar-Ueri read his royal edict and Presi
dent Zlmman of the city council replied to
""hls gracious majesty.
The proclamation follows:
To the Honorable the Mayor of tho
Metropolis: Sir This being the tenth year
of rule of the house of Ak-Sar-Ben and the
fiftieth of our glorious kingdom. In a sea-
- son marked throughout our borders by
bountiful hnrvests, we shall expect par
ticular entertainment at the hands of your
cltirens.
The proper maintenance of our kingdom
being in no way dependent upon that quad
rennial quandary known as arresldentlal
ple'-tlnn. we stand on our own rights as an
Independent sovereign, happily free from
writing a letter of acceptance.
We reign - just like Nebraska rains, be
cause we are a good thing.
It pleaseth us to demand, as our august
(and October) predecessors have demanded,
entire liberty of person within these walls.
We must, therefore, have the great key to
the city's gate, the little key to the mayor's
office, the key to the new switchboard of
the telephone company, together with all
the young women who operata It: the key
to the congressional situation, the key of
knowledge, a few piano keys or telegraph
keys or any old key you may have handy
and then some.
We are advised one must be keyed up
going on the Carnival grounds.
Immediate possession of the above Is de
manded. AK-SAR-BEN X,
Attest: King of Quivers.
SAMBON, Lord High Chamberlain.
Given at our Den this 6th day of October.
19M.
President Elmiuan Surrenders.
Mayor Moores was not on the stand, as
he feared the effect of the night air on his
throat. President Harry Zlmman of the
council greeted the king with becoming
loyalty and the following remarks:
Honored 8ire: To stand before your maj
esty causes me to tremble to such an ex
tent I rcarce can speak. Pardon, therefore,
your highness, my faltering words, as I
haste to Inform you that 1 cannot hand you
the various keys you demand, for the ren
" son that the locks on everything In the city
have been carefully removed and all keys
thrown Into the Missouri river. In expec
tation of your coming, thus rendering your
liege city In reality "a wide open town on
this happy occasion. In conclusion. It Is
my high privilege. In the name of the cltv
- of Omaha, to extend you and your court
most loyal greeting, and on this fiftieth an
niversary of our state and the tenth an
niversary of your kingly line to wish thrt
due success snd prosperity may continue to
attend the great order of Knights of Ak-Sitr-Uen.

Accidents to Floats.
The parade was a quarter of an hour
late In starting through an unfortunate as
sault of a southbound Twentieth street car
on float No, t at Twentieth and Grace
streets. Coronado Q. W. Arnold, on his
papier inache horse, came near not seeing
the cities of Cibola. He was much nearer
seeing stars. The car hit the great city of
Cibola at about the .Sixth ward and knocked
out seven blocks and threw the Inhabitants
and discoverers about In a shocking manner.
No one was hurt, however, and the float
was patched up. The seventeenth float lost
a tire late in the parade. This was "Com
. muvlcatlun." The third accident was at the
reviewing stand, where "Commerce"
showed Itself the greet feature of the
tenth reign by overlapping the stand ratling
and being somewhat torn and damaged.
The ruguiar platoon of police and the gov
ernors led the procession. Then came Ab
bott's fcand of forty musicians. They made
a fins blare of martial murlc coming up
the Far nam street hill with six trombones
in front, playing "Semper Fidelia."

-HirEROR'S VOICES IS STHOX4J
Report that Ruler of Germany Will
I'ndergo Operation Is Denied.
BERLIN, Oct. 6. Emperor William's
health Is the subject of constant rumors,
which, after persistent inquiry by the Asso
ciated Press, appear altogether without
foundation. One report In particular was
that the emperor, after opening the Insti
tute of Technology at Dantzlc, would go
into retirement at Hubertustock, his hunt
ing lodge near Berlin, and that about Octo
ber IS he would undergo another operation
on his throat, similar to that of a year ago.
His majesty's speech at Dantzlc on the Im
portance of technical Instruction fills nearly
a column in the newspapers. He spoke In
a loud, clear voice, which to those who
heard him was a practical refutation of the
report of a fresh growth In the vocal cords
and especially as before the operation of
1903 the emperor's voice was noticeably Im
paired. The emperor, as he had previously an
nounced he would, went to Hubertustock
this evening. Prof. Slablck, the expert In
wireless telegraphy, is a gueet of his maj
esty. FIXERAL OF DEAD STATESMAN

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. . At the opening
of the second session of the national con
vention of the republican leagues today
Piesident Moore announced that the elec
tion of officers would be the first order of
business. The names of President J. Hamp
ton Moore of Philadelphia, Scott Bonham
of Cincinnati and Dr. J. P. McFatrlch ol
Chicago were placed before the convention.
The nominating speeches displayed some
feeling, many of them being devoted to
criticism or defense of the administration of
President Moore.
Dr. Frank Llndsey of Kansas, H. T.
Leavttt of Nebraska and Alfred E. Lunt
of Massachusetts, campaign organizer of
the college lesgue at Western Republican
headquarters, said the lack of organisation
In their states was due to the fnllure of the
national president to devote attention to
thern. The first two seconded Dr. Me
Fatrlch's nomination and Mr. Lunt sup
ported Bonham. They charged that there
was a cut and dried arrangement to re
elect Mr. Moore.' -Judge C. J. Gallenkamp
of Kansas, warmly defended President
Moore from criticisms of other speakers.
Harry B. Klrtland, of the College league,
also criticised President Moore and charged
that there was an election slate to com
tinue present offlsers In power.
The ballot was then taken and resulted:
Moore, 793: Bonham, VSs': McFatrlch,
249. On motion of Scott Bonham, seconded
by W. G. Edens of Chicago, the election of
Mr. Moore was declared unanimous
The remainder of the ticket was elected
as follows: Vice presldcnts-at-large, S. B.
Redding of Arkansas; secretary, E. W.
Weeks of Iowa; treasurer, W. G. Porter of
North Dakota.
The selection of a time and. place for the
next convention was referred to the execu
tive committee. The California delegation
reported from Texas that it was held up
by a flood and on behalf of Los Angeles
asked for the convention, Other cities ask
ing for the convention are Kansas City,
St. Joseph, Mo., and Omaha, Neb.
The executive committee reported some
changes In the constitution, which were
adopted; a new executive committee was
selected and the convention adjourned.
The report of the resolutions' committee
was then , read. It was Adopted unani
mously and was as follows:
Resolutions Adopted.
The National Republican league In bi
ennial convention assembled in the city
of Indianapolis October 6 and 6, hereby
ratifies the platform of the republican
party adopted by the national convention
at Chicago June 22, 1904. and endorses the
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt of New York,
nominated thereon, for president, and the
Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana,
nominated thereon for vice president.
Fully three months have elapsed since
the representatives of both great parties
made their profession ot faith and their
declaration of principles. The people have
been made acaualnted with the record and
achievements of the republican jaatir and
fnr standard bearers . and thTy have
listened to the criticisms and pretentions
of the opposition. On the one hand, It has
been shown that the republican administra
tion has accomplished much and labored
king for the welfare of the people, indus
trial and commercial relations at home and
abroad; on the other hand, It has been
argued by the representatives of democ
racy that while the country has prospered
and good has come to the people in do
mestic and material advantages, it has
been due more to democratic opposition
than to republican advancement. The
burden of proof against the party In power
has been wholly with the party of con
tention, the democratic party. ,
Changre la not Juatlfled.
Weighing carefully all the arguments
advanced in the name of patriotism or
in the art of politics, with intent to reach
a correct judgment, this convention is
unable to find wherein anything has been
shown by the democratic party to Justify
a change of faith on tho part of a single
republican. On the contrary it has been
demonstrated in many ways and In the
vacillation of the democratic candidates
that they are seeking merely the confusion
. f1ub,llcan vo'ers by laying claim to es
tablished republican doctrines and by con
tending for honors which rightfully belong
in spite of democratic obstacles, to the re
publican party alone. c
Witness their efforts to compromise upon
the question of protection to American
labor; witness the silver-voting Parker pro
fetsing the gold standard; witness the ac
knowledgment of the Importance of the
Panama canal; witness the feeble efforts
of democracy to wriggle away from Its re
sponsibility upon the question of trusts
witneas the formation of constitution clubs
in the east In contrast with the constitution-breaking
clubs In other parts of the
country This convention assembles at a
time when the glaring weaknesses and In
consistencies of arguments can best be por
trayed. Change lias done nothing, our op
ponents have nothing to present; they are
business only to find fault with those who
do something; sarcasm and ridicule, like
the envy which follows success, are their
stock In trade. We have no fear they will
deceive the republican and independent
voters of this land; but believing In the
power of. organization, we earnestly declare
the Imperative necessity that devolves upen
every republican of casting his vote upen
election day for the maintenance of the ro
puhllcan principles. No cltisen should
avoid that solemn task, no true republican
will. The right of suffrage Is the higheut
privilege as It is the highest duty of tin
citizen.
Call for Active Work.
Representing the republican ciuhs of the
United States, this convention therefore,
respectfully desires to direct the attention
of the 2,UO0,0U0 of volunteer workers who
compose It to the great Importance of an
active, energetic and an aggressive cam
paign work. It insists that no republican
club man shall take for granted that vic
tory Is assured, his duty and that of his
friends he may influence Is not finished un
til the polls shall close on November 8.
Thirty days remain in which to inspire
the voters of the land. It is urged upon
every club of the. league and upon every
Individual whether first voter or veteran
that direct and personal Intorest be taken
in the polling list of the various districts:
that the names of doubtful voters and of
young men casting their first ballot be
carefully noted; that whenever possible
they be connected with existing republican
clubs or encouraged to organize new ones.
It is further
Resolved, That the delegates to this con
vention be Instructed In relation to their
respective states and territories to confer
with their lesgue officials and republican
state and county chairmen to the end that
harmonious and vigorous efforts, lor the
success of the national ticket be fully and
speedily advanced.
Resolved, That the Incoming president of
the Republican National league be au
thorised and directed to confer wlih .the
republican national chairman with the view
of inaugurating, immediately after this
convention, on oo-nperatlve lines, a thirty
days' campaign amongst the first and in
dependent voters of the country.

WORK OF THB I.DIA SCHOOLS
Superintendent Makes Annual Report
Showinar Wist la Brine; Ilone.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Spccial.)-The
annual report of the superintendent of
Indian schools, Miss Estelle Reel, has
been submitted to the commissioner of In
dian affairs. It is shown that educational
advancements have been made during the
year in the general field of Indian educa
tion and the statement is made that the
Indian child Is taught to speak English
in a shorter time than formerly.
The policy of giving agriculture fore
most place In Indian education has been
continued during the year and the results
obtained are satisfactory. , The report
states that marked improvements have
been made in the method of Instructing
the 'boys In the various trades and the
girls In cooking, sewing, laundry work and
general housekeeping. The day schools
have continued their good work and their
civilizing and elevating Influence upon the
older Indians becomes mora apparent each
year. Statistics are given in which it Is
shown that the products of native In
dustries have a greater value to the In
dian than is generally known and that
they form a substantial aid toward his
support.
Among the evidences of the good results
of Indian education are the reports of the
career of returned students, which show
that they are endeavoring to overcome the
environment of camp life and prove them
selves worthy of the education they have
received. A feature of the report Is the
evidence it gives that the Indian Is altering
his ways of Irving to meet the requirements
of an advancing clvlllzatlou through the
educational influence of the schools upon
the children who are being taught the
white man'a ways of living. ' '

LONE BANDIT ROBS A BANK
Secures About Fourteen Hundred Dollars
by the Trick.
YOUNG WOMAN IS SHUT IN THE VAULT
Posses Start Out In Pursuit, but Had
Accomplished Mothlaii When
Hunt Waa Given In at
Sight.
Taking advantage of the fact that nearly
I all of the residents of the thriving little
i town were In Council Bluffs attending the
I German celebration, a lone bandit suc
ceeded yesterday afternoon In robbing the
Savings bank of Treynor, la., of 1,4'W and
making his escape unmolested.
The bank waa In charge of Miss Flood,
a young woman about IS years of age, tho
eldest daughter of Thomas Flood, the cush-
ier of the Institution, who was out In the
country on other business. Miss Flood was
alone In the bank building, which Is sit
uated on the main street of the town, when
abput 3:30 o'clock a man drove up to the
bank In a buggy drawn by a double team.
Entering the bank the stranger asked Miss
Flood If her father was In, and receiving
an answer In the negative drew a revolver
and, levelling It at her head, ordered her to
produce the cash. He took what was on
the counter and then ordered Miss Flood
to secure the money In the vault. Having
secured what was In sight, $1,400, he shut
her In the vault, where she remained for
about fifteen minutes before brlng released
by a customer who came In and heard her
cries. A posse was hT once organized and
the pursuit of the robber tnken up.
The bandit, according to the description
given to the sheriff's office here, was a dark
complexloned man with a black mustacho
and goatee. He was driving a team con
sisting of a bay and a gray, hitched to a
light buggy with red running gear.
Chase After Itobber.
Cashkr Flood, who was out In the coun
try, was reached by telephone and he, with
a companion, at once started In pursuit.
Sheriff Canning at once on receiving word
of the robbery, with Deputy McFeery,
started out In one direction, while Deputies
Groneweg and Woolman started In another
to head off the robber if possible. About
5 o'clock word was received at the sheriff's
office that a man answering the descrip
tion of the bandit had stopped at the post
office In Keg Creek township and was driv
ing north. Tho man had a companion in
the buggy with him. The report was that
the buggy and team exactly answered tho
description of the rig in which the robber
drove to the bank. This gave grounds for
the belief that the robber probably had an
acc implies who waited outside the bank.
The last trace secured last night of i the
supposed robber and his companion was
at McClelland, on the line of the Great
Western, where Sheriff Canning learned
that they had passed through there at t
o'clock and were driving north. Sheriff
Canning and his deputies were obliged to
abandon the pursuit when darkness came
on. They returned to the city about 10
o'clock.
Clue to Robber.
Thomas Flood, cashier of the Treynor
Savings bank, reached the city last night;
about the same time as the sheriff and his
deputies, having been In pursuit of the rob.
ber all the afternoon. From Mr. Flood
the sheriff secured what may prove a val
uable clew to the Identity of the robber.
It seems that a well known character was
aeen on the streets of Treynor shortly be
fore the robbery and It was noticed by
the man who thought he recognized htm
that he was disguised, Inasmuch as was
wearing a dark moustache and goatee, both
evidently false. The suspected man Is well
known and It was stated last night that
Miss Flood, who was held up In the bank,
recognized the man's voice.
From Cashier Flood it was learned that
the robber did not lock his daughter In the
back room as first reported, but pushed her
Into tho vault and shut the door on her,
after he had taken all the' money there
was In sight. The man on entering' the
bank went directly back of the counter
and ordered Miss Flood to hand over all
the money to him. Thoroughly frightened,
She gave him what money was on the
desk, but this did not satisfy him and he
ordered her to go Into the vault and bring
out the rest. She did as ordered, but as
she started to leave the vault the fellow
pushed her back and Hhut the door on her.
MIbs Flood remained In the vault fully fif
teen minutes before someone entered the
bank and, hearing her cries, released her.
The amount the robber secured Mr. Flood
said was $1,400, as first reported.

Company Poes Not
Answer.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6. Otto Kahn, a mem
ber of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., today
In testimony before a referee said that In
May, 1901, J. P. Morgan St Co. and Kuhn,

control of the Northern Paciflo railway.
"They were buying Northern Pacific com
mon for this purpose," said he, "and so
were we."
Mr. Kahn made the statement that the
panic of May 9, 1901, was caused by J. P.
Morgan1 St Co.'s purchase of stock. He
maintained that it was not the cal! made
by Kuhn, Loeb Sc Co. for Its common lent
out which caused the crisis.
"J. P. Morgan & Co.," he said, "were
buying Northern Pacific common; Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. had also been buying Northern
Pacific. We began to fight them because
we assumed that they were trying to do
the same that we were, namely, to get
control of the Northern Pacific railway."
His Arm did not buy Northern Paclflc
during the four days prior to May 9. Mr.
Kahn declined to answer questions as to

SUMMARY 0FWAR SITUATION
Activity at Mukden t'aasea Specula
tion Reported Sortie of Russian .
Squadron at Port Arthur.
The slpnlflcance of a Mukden dispatch
noting an unusual activity In that place Is
the subject of I much speculation at St.
Petersburg The theory that It Indicates
the purpose of General Kouropatkln to
evacuate the town Is not generally ac
cepted, military officers there surmising
that the commotion noted is In connection
with a movement to check a Japanese
flanking operation.
In Rursian official circles some credence
Is given to the rumor that Admiral Wereln
has left Port Arthur with his ships, the
confusion resulting from a severe storm ou
Tuesday being regarded as having made
such a dash possible.
Time-expired members of the guard regi
ments In St. Petersburg and vicinity have
been ordered to remain with the colors.
There are Indications that the Russian
warships In the Baltic will soon be dis
patched to the far east.
FILIPINOS TO HOLD MEETING
Natives Will Try to Co-operate with
Americans In Securing;
Independence.
MANILA, Oct. 6 A mass meeting of
Filipinos Is to be held Sunday at the
National theater. The call for the meeting
states Its purpose to be "to take some
definite action upon the popular desire,
to wit, the giving of our sincere support
and sympathy to the American commis
sion on Filipino Independence In Its efforts
to attain the end we desire. It would be
Inexplicable, and even Improper, for
Filipinos to fold their arms and remain
passive at a time when the very best
elements of American society are working
ardently In order that our native land
may attnli Its ambition."
Fiery orators will speak, the principal one
being Sandlco, a former member of
Aguinaldo's cabinet and who In 181)9 signed
the order for the massacre of all Ameri
cans and other foreigners In Manila. The
government will not Interfere.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 6. The cable from
Manila stating that the Filipinos would
hold an Independence mass meeting at Ma
nila next Sunday was shown to Secretary
of .War Tafc today by the Independent
News. The secretary said:
"Even though they have what Is called
'fiery orators' I am sure that no evil re
sults will follow the meeting. The fact
that the government will not interfere with
the meeting is pretty good proof of that.
I am sure that the meeting will be a peace
able affair and that no warlike results will
ensue. Sandlco. who is referred to In the
cablegram as being one of the principal
speakers, addressed a meeting the other
evening wfth no harmful results. In fact,
the governor was present at the meeting
and spoke, also explaining to the Filipinos
present that they are not yet ready for In
dependence. Following the two addresses
there was a discussion pro and con and
conducted in no more strenuous manner
than some political meetings In this coun
try." CALL IT "WAR0FTHE STATES"
Daughters of the Confederacy Object

"Civil War."
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6. Considerable discus
sion waa caused at today's session of the

Tie Ling, which place Is on even ground,
more suitable to the Islanders.
Another souroe of Russian supplies has
been cut off, the Sin Mln Ting road being

General Vallechko, constructor of the
fortifications at Port Arthur and of nearly
all those in Manchuria, In an Interesting'
Interview In the Novoe Vremya Bays:
"The further retreat of our army to Tie
Ling appears quite uncalled for. Our forces
are being rapidly concentrated and rein
forced. In the immediate future the Rus
sians will take the offensive along the
whole front."
He admits that thS loss of the water
works at Port Arthur Is a severe blow.
Something In the Wind.

Junks Supply Port Arthur.
TOKIO, Oct. 6. 10 a. m. The Port Ar
thur blockading fleet has captured a Junk
laden with provisions. The Junk waa en
deavoring to enter the harbor. The state
ments of the crew and evidence found
aboard the Junk Indicate the existence of a
fleet of eighty Junks, organized to run the
blockade from the vicinity of Tslngtau.
Despite the vigilance of the blockading
fleet many Junks reach the Russian line
at a number of landing places on the lower
end of the peninsula. The Junks enter at
night, the Russian guns and mine fields
giving them an advantage over the vessels
of the blockading 'fleet. While it is sus
pected that ammunition Is being smuggled
in, none has yet been found in tha hun
dreds of Junks that have been overhauled
and searched.
The former president of the Tamamoto
bank today Issued a statement concerning
the funds of the imperial relief society lu
refutation of Intimations of fraud. The
aspersions were directed against Counts
Mutsuknta and Inouye, the promoters of
the society. The statement shows that
$400,000 was collected and deposited In
banks and that the banks were required to
furnish security covering the funds. The
delay In distributing the funds is to the
fact that the government and local
socities are successfully caring for the
destitute.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 6-Genera! Sak
haroff reports that all was quiet October
4, with the exception of the brush on that
day between a Cossack detachment and
some Japanese dragons near the Yental
mines, and a minor affair at Hunllpou,
where after being driven by the Jwpaneae,
the Russian outpost was reinforced and
caused the Jupanese to full back after
sharp fighting to the station at Tadou
sampou. The Jupanese sustained con
siderable losses. Those of the Russians
are not stated.
Nothing beyond skirmishing between ad
vance posts Is reported from the front. The
Russian cavalry seem to be pressing re
connaissances southward toward Yental.
On Tuesday some Russian scouts ran Into
a squadron of Japanese consisting of four
companies at Hunllpou and were forced
back until reinforced by cavalry, who
flanked the Japanese, driving them back
on Tadousarapou with considerable loss. -Tha
same evening the Russians approached

pulsing four squadrons and three coma
panlea of Japanese. There the Russians
withdrew with the loss of one Cossack
