it was Memorial day.
All over n broad continent loyal hands
scattered flowers over the rooting
places of burled heroes ; millions of loyal
licarts throbbed responsive to the patrl-
otto sentiments of eloquent tongues ; from
thousands of churches , great and small , m
crowded city and quiet country hillside and
valley , Incense of prayer and song commemorative
orative- the deeds of our noble nrmy of
the dead rose heavenward. In many
homes In every city , town and hamlet , grief
for the dead was tempered by the
thought of the glorious Inheritance pur
chased by the blood of those whoso mem
ories the day perpetuates.
In Omaha the air seemed laden with the
nplrlt of the day , und In the forenoon a semi-
Babbath stillness had fallen on the streets.
The clear , cool ulr , the light brcczo and warm
sunshlno all conduced to u lilting observance.
Public business was for the most part sus
pended , and the pretty dresses of nordcs of
school children , fluttering flajji und decorated
store fronts transformed thn every day aspect
of the streets to that of a quiet holiday.

An Imposing Array of Ilotli Civic and
Military Societies.
DAt 8 o'clock the various committees
appointed for the purpose , mot at the
hall of Ouster post on Douglas street , and
proceeded to the various cemeteries In car
riages accompanied by cl ht wagon loads of
flowers furnished by the school children.
The ( lowers had been twined Into beautiful
and symbolical designs and these comprised
samples of all kinds of the earliest of the
season.
The decorations about the city were ndt
only lavish , but bunting was generally dis
played by the principal stores und the na
tions colors floated from nearly every flag
staff. The horrio , cable and motorcars wore
decorated with Hags , us were also many pri
vate conveyances.
As early as 12:30 : o'clock the streets be
came more than usually lively , und at the
appointed rendezvous the societies Intending
to talto part in the procession began to make
their appearance.
Marshal Clurkson with Ills aides formoJ

In Prospect Hill , the familiar resting place
for many of the illustrious dead of Omaha ,
presented a particularly interesting and
animated scene. It was alive with people.
The avenues wcro thronged. At Intervals
devoted survivors bent over the grave-
mounds , placed upon ibo surface some flow
ering plant and then smoothed the loam with
the caressing tenderness of a mother ad
justing tbo covering of an ailing child. Little -
tlo American flags fluttered lu the brcezctho
brilliancy of the colors standing out in strik
ing contrast with the sombro surroundings
and nature of the placo. These little
tributes , which spoke volumes , had been
placed tboro in the morning by Sexton M. R.
Pruitt , who has in mind the location of every
soldier's grave In thin great cemetery. They
directed the footsteps of the docoratingcom-
mittco und pointed out to the casual visitor
the spot which to-day , of all days , Is indeed'
hallowed ground.
In the wooded part of the cemetery lie en
tombed most of the veterans. The sun rarely
reaches their graves. Occasionally , how
ever. It sends In a Ucam of light through the
Interlacing branches as if making an effort ,
in turn , to let the radiance of heaven Itself
beam upon each lowly bed. lu the south
ern part of the cemetery , where
cathedral gloom docs not prevail , the grenn-
sward well mowed , the high grasses which
the southern zephyrs kept In constant bil
lowy action , presented a most inspiring
aspect. Hero , however , there are fewer
Holdlors buried , though some of them wore
among the best known in life in the com
munity.
TJII ; Bui : man In his walks among the he
roes noted the graves of n number of cele
brated soldiers , each with monuments nod
graves appropriately bedecked with gar
lands and bouquets. Among them wcro the

AT THK II1HU SOHOOIJ.
How the Gronndq arid Spectators
Appenroil.
The beautiful High school grounds pre
sented a very picturesque scoao long before
the arrival of the procession. The weather
was charming to a surpassing dcgrco and It
looked as It all ilia children in the city had
assembled for an afternoon of merrymaking.
They played and romped on the velvety
sward , lounged in the shadoof the numerous
tree * , nnd mudqsuch a picture of Joyous life ,
of color and lighthoartodncsH as ono roads
of onlv in fable nnd fairy story. And the
children were not thcro nlonu. olthor , because -
cause there were also scores and scores of
fnud mammas and watchful nurses , whoso
holiday atttro harmonized wall with the mul
tifarious hues of the llttlo ones' gay apparel ,
and contributed greatly to the bouutv of the
scene.
A platform eighty feet long and eighteen
feet wide had been erected along the Dodge
street sidewalk , while a great number
of rude benches liuil been arranged
within the grounds facing the stand
which wcro packed nt an early hour with the
llttlo ones. The platform , which was for the
accommodation of the speakers and the chor
isters , was gaudily decorated with banners
nnd bunting , landing an additional ch.xrm to
the already entrancing spectacle. Although
the children little dreamed of the s.i-
crcd import of the occasion , one could
easily perceive that Memorial Day Is ono
in the calender sot usldo by them for rollickIng -
Ing pleasure and happiness.
13y the tlmo the procession arrived the
spacious grounds was packed with a dense
mass of people , and wiih the blare of bands ,
the flying colors , maneuvers of the soHllers
mid the excited shouts of the children und
plaudits of the older ones tha spsctaslo w.w
indeed one to bo long remembered.
At least six thousand people must have
been present at the oxerciscs of the day.
When they began , the platform was occu
pied by the speaker and president of ttio
day , the regular army oftleors from thu fort ,
the ladies of the Women's relief corps and
others nearly connected with the veteran
soldiers. In front of the platform were a
largo number of children , , nnd next to them
the veterans who had served for their coun
try. The Union Pacilic band completed Iho
number of persons within the enclosure.
At 13:45 : o'clock the exorcises began. Major
Clarkson , tbo president oi the day , after
asking for ardor , said :
"It is a beautiful custom , the setting apart
of ono'day in the year for the kindly remem-
branca of the dead of the family and of tbo
nation. This morning , as early as 3 o'clock ,
I took may way to Prospect Hill cenibtory ,
and it ustonishnd mo to sea the urocession of
men , women and children , flower laden ,
going to that homo of the dead to remember
their friends. After such a sight with
graves marked with lltile flags and being
decorated with flowers , who can bay , us has
recently been said , that this custom ought to
bo dropped. When thcso itro our own dead
why is not the nation's equally as dear !
Four hunured thousand of the strength and
vigor of this great country , who lost their
IIvos in the struggle to retain the union , are
lying beneath the sod , and why should not
the nation drop a tear and
some flowers on those graves } \Vhcn
the hand of time nas wiped away the asper
ity DCtwccu the north and south , no 'storied
urn or nnnimatod bust' or grand splro polnt-
Ini ; to heaven will bo required to pcrpetuato
the memory of those who died for their
country's sake. Thcso graves are the mon
uments of their work.
"Hut my comrades of the Grand Army ,
this day 'M us , is especially dear. Ono by
by ono wo are laying awav the old compan
ions of the fluid und bivouac. Soon our
tiuia will come. While wo stay , let us stand
up for the widows and orphans of those who
fell in battle or have since been railed
away. Lot us see the heritage wo have left
our children in a frco and united country ,
may remain as secure for them , so that fu
ture generations will acknowledge the faltn-
ful performance of their ancestors. Then ,
when tbo linal taps sound for us , wo can lie
down to rest wlth'n consciousness that what
wo have done has been dona for the right.
It thcro bo a better land than this , and there
certainly is , those who have gone , have gone
to Join the rank and flic of tbo bravo. They
have left a few comrades waltinc for the
summons to thn ranks In heaven. "
The Rov. T. M. House delivered a very
brief prayer , asking the Almighty to bless
the comrades of the Grand Army of the Re
public , and to bless the nation. "
"After the bymn , ' 'Our Uravos , " had been
Rung by a chorus of Jlfty voices wider the
direction of Prof. F. S. Smith , Major Clark-
son introduced the Rev. Henry E. Mott , of
Duhuque , Iowa. This go'itloman deli\ erect
the address of thn day. Whtla tbo speaker
could only bo heard by a smalt number of
those present , hu talked In a loud , clear
tone. His address opened with reference
to the battle Held of Gettysburg , and
n < t the streams In that vicinity
reverse their couiseso that historic battle
ground was the turning point In tbo war of
the rebellion. When Lee was defeated at
that point , ho was convinced that the causa
was lost. The speaker then spoico of two
things tbo Inheritance- which the comrades
of tbo G. A. R. had loft to them and the des
tiny they should work out for the country.
What the natioiv strove to maintain , speak
ing of the flrst point , those now living hu 3
u right to uphold. They worked out an in
heritance for those now living. People
should remember the war for the union was
right , eternally right ; that of the rebellion
wrong , eternally wrong. It wns easy to
consider how Jealousies become hoitilltloj.
God had determined that this land should bo
one. and ono it remained.
The speaker then referred to the Roman
empire , and spoke of itt size as compared
with the United States , and its resources , as
well as those of nations of the pru/jont day ,
speaking especially of that part lying west
of the Mississippi. Mr. Mott said it was
given to every nation a certain moral purpose
to work out. The power of a nation is
the common people. It U the common people
ple that think for the nation. The country ,
If it is going to live , must take up the moral
question. Some claimed it was the indus
trial question , but tha sneaker took the other
view. Ambition was thu secret of It all.
Any man without ambition would never bo
led to anything higher , Thcro was nn In
equality la human hfo , the speaker main
tained , a fact evidenced not only in
the stature and build of men , but
in their accomplishments Society had
descended by arbitrary distinction. Men
should do what God mtonded thorn to do.
Ambition should-bo strong in the common
people , who should remember that a man
who could accomplish something that no
other man can accomplish wan greater than
princes or kings. The campaign for union
had baua fought , but the campaign for lib
erty bad yet to bo fought.
The conclusion of Urn speaker's address
was a wish for the successor the union.
At the conclusion of the address tha Union
PHultlffband played tha natiopal ulr.
Tbo usual ritual exorcises were oonduc.tod
by Mr , H'Jrmelstcr , who mndo a short and
appropriate address. A frtxj aUing monument

ment that twelve years ago a teacher whom

last night from Berlin cable dispatches in
forming him that the treaty in relation to the
government of Samoa , which the American ,
English and German commissioners had met
In Berlin to frame , had been concluded and
signed at yesterday's session of the dele

the treaty , cabled by Mr. Pholos to tbo sec
retary of state , shows that the American

department of the government has been con
tending for , all that Secretary Bayard de
manded at the conference held In this city

Instructed his commissioners Messrs.
Phelps , Kasson and Bates to insist upon.
Germany and England have had to abandon

declaration for foreign control and Gorman
preponderance In tbo government of Samoa.
Now they have had to accept what this gov
ernment all along demanded namely , a na
tive preponderance , amounting to autonomy
in Samoa , and perfect equality as between
Great Britain , Germany nnd the United
States In their external relations with Samoa
and the part which they should ulay in help
ing the natives to govern themselves.
