seems to have arrived at this queer

convenient for various reasons and
therefore fitted the law to the facta

But much depends on the men upon

The Transport Hancock Beaches the Port
of 8an Franciroo.
THE REGIMENT IN GOOD SPIRITS
sight of American Soil Hailed With
Great Joy—All Bat Foartoen Line Up
for Inspection—Have Hod Their Fill
of Campaigning In the Philippine#.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30—The
United States transport Hancock, hav
ing on board the soldiers of the First
Nebraska regiment. United States vol
unteers, arrived last night at 10:30.
The steamer dropped anchor In the
stream. Owing to quarantine regula
tions, no one was allowed to land from
the transport until after an Inspection
by the quarantine medical officers. As
the rules prohibit this inspection be
tween sunset and sunrise, of course
men and crew had to remain on board
the Hancock in the stream until tUs
morning. Should there be no contagi
ous disease on board, a landing of the
troops may take place early today, but
In the event of smallpox, cholera or
other contagious disease of a serious
character the transport and Its pas
sengers may be kept In quarantine for
a number of days.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.—The
first persons who visited the side of
the Hancock were C. O. Whedon, Judge
Ryan and the Omaha Bee correspond
ent. This party chartered a boat and
got alongside and exchanged greetings
with the boys. Whedon was allowed
to get on the lower end of the ladder
and embrace his son.
The boys all reported a good voyage
across, with little sickness. The Lin
coln and Omaha boyB were reported to
be in good health. Colonel Mulforcl
came down on the bridge and received
from the Bee correspondent his first
aewB from home, being a letter from
his wife.
Some time after midnight Governor
Poynter and a few others went out to
the ship on a tug, but by that time
most of the men had gone to bed, and
the sea being choppy, the visit was not
lengthy.
At 7:30 Sunday morning the party
consisting of C. O. Whedon, Judge
Ryan and the Bee correspondent were
out in the bay In a launch and were
allowed to stand at the top of the
gangway at the deck of the Hancock,
and were able to converse and shake
hands with the Nebraska boys. They
were undergoing medical Inspection,
which lasted two or three hours. Cadet
Taylor was the only other Nebraskan
who got out to witness this ceremony.
The Hancock had moved over to
Angel Island, about five miles from the
city. The men all looked fine and were
In Jolly spirits. Only fourteen were
unable to assemble on the deck for in
spection. None of these were seriously
111.
"The passage across has been fine,"
said Major Eager, "and the men are all
feeling satisfied. I think they have
gained on an average ten pounds
apiece Bince they sailed for home.”
This statement was repeated by
other officers and men. Colonel Mul
ford said the men could not possibly
feel better. The passage across was
without Incident. The ship averaged
about fifteen knots. There had been
one delay of six hours before reaching
Nagasaki on account of a break in the
machinery.
During Inspection In the morning
the band played a number of lively
airs. The men, as soon as they could
leave the vaults, came forward and
consigned to the Bee correspondent
scores of letters and telegrams to be
sent as their first messages homo.

Ileeeptlon at the White House.
WASHINGTON, July 31.—President
McKinley will give a reception to Ad
miral Dewey at the White House when
the latter arrives In Washington. At
first he was in doubt whether a recep
tion or dinner would be more appro
priate, but the former is likely to be
decided on for the reason that It would
be more popular In character and
would grant to a multitude of people
an opportunity to meet the naval hero
and shake hands with him.
The management of the reception
will be very simple and will differ In
no Important respects from regular
affairs of that character at the Whlto
House, except that the admiral Will
occupy a place In the line of the re
ceiving party, the president coming
first, Mrs. McKinley next end then the
admiral, the introductions being made
as usual by Colonel Bingham.
Later on the expectation la that a
dinner will also be given to the adm'ral
at the White House and this, following
the custom at state dlnneis, will Le a
festivity of some elaborateness. The
vice president and Mrs. Hobart, mem
bers of the cabinet and their wives
and some others will be invited. For
this occasion the guests will assemble
In the east room and when dinnor Is
ready Admiral Dewey will escort Mrs.
McKinley Into the dlnlug room, the
president following with the wife of
Secretary Hay.
As the guest of honor, the adm.ral
will sit at the right hand of Mrs. Mc
Kinley, the president being directly
opposite to his wife. Between the
president und Mrs. McKinley will stand
an elaborate work of art In flowers,
prepared by the White House gar
dener, representing a man-of-war, the
Olympia probably, while down the
middle of the long table will extend
the wonderful mirror, framed In gold,
Imported by Dolly Madison, bordered
by a bank of blossoms and smilax, so
as to make it resemble a miniature
lake. Much of the table service will
be of pure gold.
The admiral Is expected to come to
Washington very soon after reaching
New York.

Ars Not Accomplished the Results are
Far Reaching.
THE HAGUE, July 31.—The Inter

final sitting Saturday, when it was
announced that sixteen states had

ter n the other two conventions, seven
teen the declaration prohibiting the
throwing of projectiles or explosives
from balloons, sixteen the decoration
prohibiting the use of asphyxiating
gas and fifteen the declaration prohib
iting the use of expansive bullets.
A letter was read from the queen of
Holland to the pope, asking his moral
support of the conference. The pope's
reply, which was read, promised co
operation, reculled the fact that he had
many times performed the function of
arbitrator and assured her majesty
that, in spite of his present abnormal
poeition, the pope would continue to
seek the advancement of civilization.
Baron do Stanl delivered the fare
well, thanking the representatives. He
said tho work accomplished, while not
so complete as might he desired, was
sincere, wise and practical. The great
principles of the sovereignty of indi
vidual states and International solid
ity, apparently so opposing, had been
reconciled by what they had accom
plished.
He affirmed that in time to come
Institutions which had their origin in
the need of accord would be the domi
nating Influence, and that thus the
work of the conference was truly
meritorious.
Minister EBturnelles and I)r. Beau
fort followed, the latter Baying that if
the conference had not realized Uto
pian dreams, nevertheless it has dis
proved peslmlstic forebodings and the
moral effert would more an«l more In
fluence public opinion ami aid govern
ments to reduce the limitation of
armies, which still remain a sourcj of
grave consideration for statesmen.
Baron de Staal then declared the
co"?“rence closed.
The three Conventions dealing with
arbitration, the laws anil customs of
war and the adaptation of the Geneva
convention to nuval warfare were not
signed by Germany, Austria-Hungary,
China, England, Italy. Japan, Luxem
burg, Servia, Switzerland or Turkey.
The United States signed only the
arbitration convention and that under
reserve. Rouinanla also mude reser
vations.
The threo declarations prohibiting
the throwing of explosives from bal
loons, the uee of asphyxiating projec
tiles and the dumdum bullets were not
signed by Germany, Austria-Hungary,
China, England, Italy, Japan, Luxem

United States signed only the declara
tion regarding the throwing of explo
sives from balloons.

Colonel H. B. Mulford of the Ne
braskans, who la in command, soon
appeared at the railing. By his aide
stood William Orasen of company D,
the sentinel of the Nebraska regiment
who fired the first shot in answer to
shots from the Filipinos which started
the war with the insurgents. He
killed the first Filipino who died by
an American bullet, and It was this
shot which was the signal for the ad
vance of the entire American line and
the great rout of the rehel army on
the night of the 4th of February.
"I don’t think you will see any of
us returning to Manila very soon,"
said Colonel Mulford, lu response to a
question.
"Just one man in the entire regi
ment re-enlisted. Only twenty-five
remained In the Philippines to engage
in business."
"The Nebraska had as much rough
work in this war,” continued Colonel
Mulford. "as any regiment, volunteer
or regular. Our death roll in the Phil
ippines from gunshot wounds, acci
dents and disease 1b sixty-two. In
cluding the sick and wounded who are
recovering, we dropped all told 204
men. On the Hancock are more than
100 wounded soldiers. The entire reg
iment Is glad to know that It is to'lf
be mustered out in San Francisco. We
have had a pleasant trip,” concluded
Colonel Mulford, "and It has Im
proved the men wonderfully. Quite a
number of them will have to go to
their homes, but I am assured that
everyone will soon be all right.”
The men on the Hancock numbered
1.136, and include the two Utah light
batteries and six discharged men from
the Twenty-second regiment, United
States army.
Colonel Mulford, who is in com
mand of the Nebraska regiment, suc
ceeded the late Colonel Stotsenburg,
killed in battle.
Lieutenant Colonel Colton of the
Nebraska regiment remained in Ma
nila, where he will engage in banking.
Only one man died on the Hancock
after she left Manila. He was Private
Richard Walph of battery A, Utah ar*
tilery, and he died of typhoid fever at
Nagasaki.
Among the officers of the Nebraska
regiment who were severely wounded
are Captain Hollingsworth and Lieu

Hill Will nr a Bidder.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 31—A special
from Sioux City, la., says:
Sioux City railway men claim to
have assurances that President James
J. Hill of the Great Northern will be
a bidder at the foreclosure sale of the
Sioux City Terminal Railway and
Warehouse company’s properties, Au
gust 22. The Great Northern has been
manifesting a disposition for some
time to include Sioux City in its terri
tory.
The properties can hardly be bought
for less than $2,000,000. No town of
the same size In the couutry is better
provided and the depot is much the
iinest In the northwest, with the ex
ception of those at the Twin Cities.
The Great Northern is already man
aging the Sioux City & Western road
for William S. and Robert E. Tod, the
present owners, and is expected to ac
quire the title to the system soon. It
will also doubtless fall heir within a
few months to the Sioux City & North
ern, an arrangement which will give it
direct access to Sioux City.

themselves for a moment under the
United States flag on United States

The exposition officials st first were
op pored to granting the American re
quest, holding that the proponed pon

now expected that the.r objection will ^
be overcome. Should the pontoon be
