Mulford, for the regiment, turning
OTer the flags to the governor, who,
on behalf of the state, took charge and
Instructed the adjutant general to care
fully treasure them among the most
■Acred relics of the state.
The ceremonies were of the simplest
kind, and the speechmaking was con
fined to a brief address by Colonel
Mulford, and the almost as brief re
sponse by the governor. The ceremony
took place within a few feet of the
•spot where in May, 1898, the flags
were given to the color bearers by
Governor Holcomb. The governor and
Atalf occupied the stand and the mem
bers of the First regiment were drawn
up facing them, and just across the
pavement, running north from the
state house, Assistant Secretary of
War Melklejohn was In the stand, with
th* governor and staff. Colonel Vlf
qualn, chief marshal of the day, and
bis aides, mounted, were in position
In front of the stand, the colors with
the bearers and guard occupying the
center of the open space.
The escort, composed of tbe Orand
Army of the Republic itoembers, mem
bers of the Second and Third regi
ments, the cadet battalion from the
.university, the Second regiment Ne
braska National Guard, Troop A, the
First regiment auxiliary and the bands
of the several organizations were ar
ranged In the form of a square around
tbe central figures.
I General Vlfquain announced the
order of tbe proceedings and Colonel
Mulford, who, with the ex-ofllcers of
|th* First, were on foot, advanced to
th* front and tendered the flac|i. The
color bearers came forward and the
commands were brought to attention
and saluted.
Governor Poynter accepted the flags
«nd the colors were furled, the crowd
Atandlng uncovered, while the band
played.
« The ceremony concluded the com
mands were re-formed and marched
’to their several stations, and the flags
jwere taken to the office of the adjutant
;general, where, In the presence of the
governor and staff, they were placed
In the vault.
The parade preceding the ceremonies
at the state house grounds was wit
nessed by a large crowd, which lined
the streets along which It passed.
The governor and staff and Secre
tary Melklejohn reviewed the parade
from the balcony of the sanitarium
at Fourteenth and M streets.

OOM PAIL MAKES RtPLY.
Tranaiml UottrnnirBl Seu»l» It* An*w*r
to lirnt Britain’* Demand.
LONDON. Sept. 15— A forecast of
the draft of the Transvaals' reply to
the last note of the British secretary
of state for the colonies, Mr. Chamber
lain. has been received, but its nature
Is not yet known.
At the colonial offices a reporter of
the Associated Press was informed
that nothing will be given out for the
present.
It was regarded as significant, how
ever, that the nature of the Boer reply
was communicated to the commander
in-chief, Field Marshal Lord Wolse
ley, who immediately summoned Sir
George Stewart White V. C., former
quartermaster-general, the prospective
commander of the British foces in Na
tal.
The Morning Post in a second edition,
prints a special dispatch from Pieter
maritzburg. capital of Natal, saying
the outlook is of the gloomiest charac
ter.
The Capetown papers themselves
take a more hopeful view of the situa
tion, basing their belief on the proba
ble acceptance by President Kruger of
the franchise measures suggested in
Mr. Chamberlain's latest dispatch. But
even they admit that it is Impossible
to learn or foreshadow President Kru
ger’s attitude toward the suzerainty of
Great Britain, whilcb, after all, Is still
the main Issue.
The tension now existing here and at
the Cape may be temporarily settled
at any moment by the publication of
President Kruger’s reply. On the other
hand It may be several days before the
general public learns what answer the
Transvaal has made. If President
Kruger has answered defiantly It does
not necessarily mean the immediate
breaking off of negotiations. The Brit
ish would probably reply with an un
mistakable ultimatum. It is scarcely
to their advantage to bring about hos
tilities until the reinforcements are
nearer the scene of action than they
are at present. Whatever the nature
of President Kruger’s reply it is prob
able that several more stages of diplo
matic processes will be gone througu
with before there is a definite war or
peace, unless, of course, President Kru
ger should take the initiative and raid
Natal. It is the possibility of this
move that makes definite news of his
reply so eagerly and anxiously awaited,

| iiom< Hula for Faoh of tha Trlkaa Under
Nnpartlilon of tha Uenernl Uoearn
ment at Manilla tha Solution of tba
Problem — Our Kraponalbllltjr (or
Malatalalng Paaca.
ITHACA, N. Y„ Sept. 14.—President
Schurman returned today to bis office
in Cornell university. He gave out
the following statement to the Associ
ated Press on the Philippine situation:
"It I* very important that the public
should know the actual facts of the
situation. Things are what they are,
and the American public should un
derstand them, whether they agree
with or run counter to the public’s
wishes.
"First—It requires some effort to
realize the vastness of the archipelago,
which runs from Formosa to Borneo
and Celebes through sixteen degrees of
latitude. Never going out Into the
Pacific ocean on the east, nor the China
sea on the west, I made a circuit of
2,000 miles south of Manila. This gives
some Idea of the difficulty of main
taining an effective blockade, as the
coast line of the islands embraced In
the archipelago is many more thou
sands of miles.
“Second—The multiplicity and heter
ogeneous natures of the tribes are
something astounding. Over sixty
different languages are spoken In the
Islands, and the majority of the tribes
are small, and there are several that
have only 250,000 Inhabitants. The
speech of any one tribe Is unintelligi
ble to Its neighbors. These tribes are
all civilized and Christianized, but
small uncivilized trlbeB, among which
the Igorots seem best known In Amer
ica, Inhabit the mountains in Luzon
and form a large part of the population
of Mlndano. In this Island there Is a
large Mohammedan population which
is independent of the Mohammedans
in the Bulus.
“Third—It Is the Tagals Inhabiting
some of the provinces about Manila
who are resisting the authorities of
the United States. Other civilized
Filipinos are neutral except where
they are coerced by armed bands of
Tagals, who seized upon their govern
ment during the making and ratifica
tion of our treaty of peace with Spain.
It would be incorrect to assume, how
ever, that these tribes are allies of
ours. They are not, Indeed, they are
not without suspicion of the white
race, of which they have had exper
ence only through Spain. But they
are men of Intelligence and property
and the masses, when they are not
stirred up by the Tagalos, recognize
the advantage to them of American
sovereignty, and so many remain neu
tral, although robber bands from time
to time descend from the mountains
to plunder and burn the estates of the
peaceful Inhabitants on the plains.
"Fourth—The insurrection, though
serious enough, as experience has
proven, is not a national uprising. In
deed, there Is no Philippine nation.
As I have already said, there is a
multifarious collection of tribes hav
ing this in common that they belong
to the Malay race. The Inhabitants
of the archipelago no more constitute
a nation than the inhabitants of Eu
rope do.
“Fifth—The United States having
assumed by a treaty of peace with
Spain, sovereignty over the archi
pelago, became responsible for the
maintenance of peace, order and Jus
tice. and security of life and property
among all the tribes of the archi
pelago. This 1b an obligation which
Intelligent Filipinos and foreign na
tons expect us to fulfill. Nor will the
national honor permit us to turn back,
taking the Philippines we assumed
great responsibility. The fact that the
responsibility is greater than most
people supposed Is no excuse for fail
ure to discharge It. The Philippine
question Is largely a question of honor
and obligation.”

Eminent Irlilini.u Hijri the Condemned
■In Sympathy.
LONDON. Sept. 14—(New York
World Cablegram.)—In response to a
request for an opinion on the Dreyfus
verdict Michael Davitt writes:
“Comments of the English and
American press on the result of the
Rennes trial are a greater outrage on
Justice than the condemnation of Drey
fus, even if Innocent. Had Dreyfus
been a poor man his fate would excite
no sympathy in London and New
York. Being rich, the English-speak
ing world works itself Into a hypocltt
Iral moral rage against a nation that
has taught England and Europe the
liberty they now profess. Were Drey
fus an Irishman accused of political
crime against England he would be
tried, condemned by a packed jury and
sentenced by a political judge and im
prsoned among thieves. Being a sus
pect of traltortsm to Prance is enough
to make him a moral hero In England
and cause the British press to use the
case as a weapon to stab France.
Neither England nor America ever run
a hundredth part of the risk faced by
France In order to get at the truth
concerning one man's act or Innocence.
I don't believe him altogether guilt
less, but hope he will be pardoned
forthwith."
Max O'Rell writes to the Dally
Chronicle on British sympathy for
Dreyfus: “The English are most earn
est lovers of-justice and fairplay, but
the French do not know this fact—at
any rate the masses do not. Public
British expression of sympathy will
go against Dreyfus. For God's sake
use your influence to stop It. But for
the universal sympathy shown Drey
fus, whom I personally believe inno
cent, In England and Germany, he
would have been acquitted. It has been
a terrible thing to say, but I say It
and am not afraid of contradiction."
