Every crtlclnl body nmt iirlv every coiainorclal Interest of the city "wore represented. The meeting was called to order bv secrotnry Nason of the Board of Trndo , who Bald that ho hnd lakim seine pains to Unit out the suntimcMit of the pcoplo on the question of n colouration. Ho found that every ono wai In favor of it. Ho hnd been assured by Lincoln Business mcntnat a great many of tholr people would take ad vantage of a cheap rate and coma up and see Omuba cclohraio. \V. F. Bcchcl wan mndo chairman and W. , N. Nason secrotnry. AUolph Meyer said that It was especially Important that. Omaha should huvo n gro.it demonstration this year on account of the independent national con vention. It would help to entertain the visit ors , and would show thorn tlmt Omaha was nllvo. Ho was In favor of a monster parade during the day and a display of llroworlis in the evening. Mav Mayor moved that tlio committees pre viously appointed by the city council , county commissioners , board of tvado nnd real estate exchange bo continued. N. A. ICuhn wanted a commlttco udded from Itiu whole salers nnd rotation , and Pat. O. llawcs moved that Major Qlant on bo added to rep resent the Grand Army of the Republic. These propositions were favorably consld- crni and the committees nro now constituted ns follows : . Ho.iid of LVado Joseph A. Connor , Aaolph Mover , .1. ( J. Willis.

Lobecir. Grand Army of the Hepuolio Major ClarlMnn. The question of how the necessary funds were to bo raised occasioned considerable discussion. Max Moycr thought the expense should bo berne by the city and county. The chairman road a communication from Mayor Bonus to the city councilln which ho declared his readiness to co operate with them on any reasonable proposition. Pnt Hnwfj wanted n torchlight parndo in the evening , and thought money should bo raised wltnout application to the city council. J. A. Connor said the Board of Trade would give at least $350 ot the $3,000 which would bo required. Alojor Clarkson was called upon and said that tlio Fourth of July should bo celebrated on general nrlucl- ploi and especially on this occasion. The expense - penso should como from the city and county , nnd thcro was no ono who would bo unrrow- ininucd enough to complain if the city coun cil voted an appropriation. The who'lo raut- tor was II n ally loft to the committees. After appointing Major Clnrkson marshal of the day with power to soloot his own aides the inoetliur adjourned. ComiuURloiiorft MuUu nn Aiiiiroirlntlnn. T. J. Lowry of the citizens commlttco ap pointed to muko arrangements to proporlv celebrate the Fourth ol July appeared before the Board of County Commissioners yesterday day afternoon to ask for pecuniary assist ) unco. Ho said that if the county would do I its share Omaha could huvo the grandest m celebration ot the ago. V Mr- Paddock of the board declared that JL the Fourtb of July was the grandest day of K v , the year : nna that It ought to bo properly ob- mKv > ( nv ° d The question , ho said , was whether f Ni)10 ) board was willing to co-operato in a T rcinncl way. Ho was not In favor of being a ticldor as to thonuthority of the board to expend money for that purpose. Then ho moved that It bo the sense of the board that the county appropriate the sum of ? 500 to be expended in malting the celebration u suc cess. cess.Mr. . Stonbcrg snld that ho would bo willing to vote for the acpropriation , but ho doubted the board's authority. Mr. Paddock said that for ono ho would follow out u suggestion made by Mr. Berlin some days ago and donate n month's. salary- Mr. Lowry stniml that posters would bo sent oaat and west , north and south. Tbo cclobtution would bring IW.OOO to 40,000 people to the city on that day. Mr. Stonborg u anted to know what guar antee thcro was that the council would make an appropriation of money. Mr < Lbxvry replied that the mayor and tnembors were men with liberal minds and tie had no doubt but that they would do their dutv. Hu then cited in part that the council bad appropriated Jl.r.ut ) to aid in the enter tainment of President Harrison. Mr. Paddock stated that thqro wcro no politics in the matter. Ho believed that the celebration of the Fourth of July was some thing higher aud grander than any party politics. The appropriation was made with the un- doistundini : that the city and the citizens ap propriate f 1,500 , Upon the appropriation , Mr. Berlin alouo Toted "no. " The Idea of the committees Is to make the porado the feature of the day. It will bo u monster nlTiilr nnd contain a number of unique featuroH. There wilt bo women ou lie/mobile ! : dressud to represent the various Btatos und n procession of clowns nnd mask er * on horsoDaclc. The military under Gen eral Broekohavo boon Invited to pirtlclpato and all the rlvlu societies of the city will bo urpnd to full In lino. An effort will also bo inudo to have a llamhunu parade nnd torch light procession in the evening preceding tholiroworUu. U'liut Tliity Think nr It. A reporter asked Dr. George L. Miller If lie favored a grand celebration of luoopund- JS oiifO day Ho snlO : "I mn hnnrtllv In fnror of tbo movement. The colouration shoula bo participated In by all oliusns of peoplo. The chlldieii will profit by the lessons u patrlotto demonstration will teach and It Is essential that every available means be employed to malto this celebration u notable one. If It bo found necessary or oxpadioit , 1 am In favor of the citv council and the county board ap- iiroprluitnir a reusoimhlo sum of money to Luur thu expense of the celebration. " Councilman 1'rlnco Is of tlio opinion that Omaha should inulco a big demonstration ou the Fourth. President Davis of the council favors the Idea. Idea.Counollm Counollm n Bechcl , chnlrtnuu of the coun cil toinii.ltloe on ceirhrutlon , bay * ho will do overj ttlng In his power to make ibo celebra tion n success. General John C. Cowm says It la the proper thing to do. Everybody should oolu- unite. U iuav not bo the fad , but It is a duty the older generation of monouojto Yountr , /Ymcrlcn. / jt Mr. Henry Lolimann favors the movement , t'oiunaster Cl'irkiou i ays ho Is willing to . _ -Qcmtl ho can to hell ) on tha effort * for a bo- utllug celebration. Tv Charles OKutt-1 think It would tm n most ft npproui late time to celebrate. With the crowd thut will belu Omaha on thataav wo could have a most crodiublo celebration aud ono that would lone bo romomborcd , Wo should make n grand display ot our patriot ism , which is the duty ot all good American people , and I nm of the opinion that this would bo the moit appropriate Urn" . Wnrron Swiuler-Tho great trodblo with the American pcoplo Is that they are Inclined to pay too little attention to the national hol idays , nnd this ono especially. When \vo stop to consider what the day meant for the early patriots of this United Stales , there cin bo iio man who ought to n fuse to cclc- brato the grand day , tiie birthday of Ameri can liberty. * I am most decidedly In favor of a grand colcbrat.ion. T. J. Mahcnoy The Idea Is a nuptial ono and \ can see no reaton why the celebration would not be n grand success. Of course It U a dinicult matter to handle a celebration In n largo city , but It thn right men nro placed In chnrgo I think this celebration will uo n grand success. There will bo an enor mous crowd In Omaha , and It Is only proper that wo furnish the mrancers who will bo hero some entertainment. IN TllE COUKTS.

Sylvester was arrested and n search of his clothing dls- lodt'od the property. Arthur Crolghton , who by lighting had disturbed the peace and good order of the city , was taxed $ .30 nnd costs. Ii. F. Madscn , convicted of having ac cepted n bribe while nerving as n city coun cilman , was called for sentence , but ho failed to icspond. In tun case of the state against Alexander Goldstein , the South Omaha lad who shot James Adams , whllo ho ( Adums ) was play- Inc burglar , the jury returned n veidict of not guilty. Court Iho case of M. T. Patrick against the city of Omaha will uo over until another term of court nnd bo tried again , simply because the Jury coulu not ncroo. In this action Patrick sued for some $15,000. Ho alleged that the city appropriated , without bis consent , a strip of land , it being the west half of Twenty-fourth street from Lake to a point about 590 foot north , The city maintained that it had held undis puted possession of the cround for a long term of years , and that Patrick was barred from bringing suit to recover. The case was tried in Judge Donne's court and submitted Friday at noon. After being out Just twen ty-four hours the twelve men ro- oortcd to the court that tuoy were unable to ngrco. They wcro discharged und the case continued for the term. From first to last the Jury stood 11 to 1 In favor of allowing the plaintiff dam ages , though n consideration of the amount was not reached.

Tbo Tammany tlgor furnished a fruitful field lor the Imagination of newspaper car- toonlfits In their treatment of the Chicago convention. During tbo opening days they pictured him in every attitude of the tyolcnl b ast In quest of prey , but as the convention progressed it was apparent that ho was getting the woist of ft. Finally the once ferocious animal was ahown to bo crestfallen and dejected in spirit , and the curtain foil on n dead cock in tno pit.

Mr. Ulnu&tonp's homo rule schema , which , thoconservatives are ac customed to nssert , Is still In embryo , has ac tually boon commutiioutpJ In detail to Lord Hoiobery , Mr. John Morley , Sir Vernon Harcourt nnd other lloorals. Soma of Its uiot'o crltlcnl points hnvo boon dlscussod with the Irish loaders , with the assurance that If the general election places Mr. Gladstone - stone In power the bill will bo presented ut the autumn session of parliament. Concerning the production and the passage of thu homo rule measure , Mr. Gladstone Is tnoro than over an old man In n hurry , lie It no vi s that ho must , under any circum stances , face another election before ho at tains the final triumph of his life in the com pletion ot Irish legislation. If ho passes the bill in the House of Commons next year , It Is certain to bo rejected by the House of Lords. This would involve n fresh appeal to the country. Eianiftho Doors wcro at once submisslvoto the will of the people and allowed the measure to become u law , tbo alteration of the representation In the im perial parliament consequent thereon would rcqulro another general election , whllo the initiation of tbo now Irish legislation would draw heavily upon Mr. Gladstone's energies. For those reasons ho Is eager that thcro should bo no delay in passing the homo rule bill. Ho will partly lift the veil from his plan In tlio addresses ho will uialto In Midlothian. Sumo I'cnturoa of the ' chcinr. The representative ot the Associated Press has learned that the loaalng feature ! of the measure of IbSU will bo rotumo J , with the fol lowing exceptions t Clauso4 , restricting the powers ot tbo Irish legislature , Is enlarged ty further dolinint ; the limitation of tbo powers of the legislature to interfere with the endowment ot rolleion , or to impose dis ability or cot.for privilege on account of re ligious belief. Further guarantees lolatlug to donouiimmonai cuucauon.aro proviuca. N' > xt , the constitution of the IcgUlnllvo body will bo modiQcd by raising the number of members ot the lirst order In the upper house , who , as la the first bill , shall hold olllcc lor ten years. The much disputed clause 24. removing the Irish peers from tlio House of Lords unu the Irish iueniDors from the House of Commons , disjpncais in tbo now bill , tboiopresontatiou of Ireland In tbo Imperial parliament re maining the same us at present , to meet the thtc.itencd active refusal or passive resist ance of the Ulstorltcstotho Irish parliament by the nonpayment of taxes. Subsection 4 of clause 1 < J of the bill of 1SSG is to bo extended so as to Insure the employ ment of the police nnd military forces to enforce the payment ot all taxes lovlabls by the Irish parliament. Dispute * llotueon tlio Tno Goiorniiu'iils. Another alteration relates to disputes arising botwoou the Irish legislature and the imperial government. Lord Hnsoborr re cently made reference to some tribunal deal ing with these differences. This was wrongly Interpreted by the Irish momoors to mean tlio creating of a boay like the supreme court of the United States. Lord Hosuborv really referred to the rotontlon of clause S3 of the old bill , providing that the Judicial oommlttoo of the privy council should decide constitu tional questions relating to the powots of the Irish legislature. Mr. Gladstone is under stood as proposing to appoint u llxca number of Irish Judges to sit with tbo Judicial com mittee when Irish questions are discussed. Anart Irom these modillcations , the measure - sure of ISbO remains Intact. A comparison of the foiccasts of the result of the elections shows that the official esti mate of the liberal managers is n majority of 147 for Mr. Gladstone , including the Irish members. The liberal-unionists estimate that ho will have a majority ol forty , includ ing the Irlsb , thus placing the liberals in absolute dopomlenco ou the Irish vote. Onicial conservative figures glvo the union ists a working majority of thirty. The Pull Mall Gazette's calculation , which is based on an analysis of the by-oloctlons since ISSU.rosults in a majority for Mr. Glad stone of ninety-four , only fourteen over the Irish veto. Balancing tbo reports from the various sides , an impartial forecast is that Mr. Gladstone will obtain no majority that will enable him to act independently of the Irish party. Tyiidnll'H Dlra Predictions. Among the incidents of the week is a remarkable letter oy Prof. Tyndall sent { to the Dublin Ulsterl'o convention. The letter says ho occupies no post , receives no wages , enjoys no pension. Money In driblets comes to him occasionally from a precarious source. Recently his publishers sent 10 , ' ) to him in payment for two books. Of this money ho gives 100 to the Ulster movement and retains 3 for himso.f. Tbo professor de nounces the evil genius , Gladstone , and blames the archdoctriniilro , Morlov , for first planting tbo microbe of ronoal in the bruin of bis honorable friend. Morley , the pro fessor adds , was once a man of elevated mind , now ho is degraded to the level of a professional politician. Prof. Tyndall predicts that the first loyalist blood Rhea in Ulster for the sake of Archbishop \Valsh and Timothy Healy will arouse a feeling that will sweep Gladstone's Irish policy to perdition. The total number of candidates who will stand in the elections is lf > ( JU. Nearly all of tlio 070 seats In the house will bo contested. A few Catholic- candidates will stand in Eng land. There will bo only ton Jewish candi dates , of which number four arc liberals , four conservatives and two liberal-unionists. Tint I'nlltirc , Mr. Henry M. Stanley , who is to contest Lambeth in the unionist Interest , made bis first utump speech to tbo electors joatorUay. Ho proved a lame and awkward speaker and signally failed In making ready responses to the 'heckling" of his audienco. Ho retired to allow his wlfo an opportunity to spoak. She at once won the audience. She declared that her husband was tbo finest man in Eng land and shld ho was as straight as a die , adding : "What bo say * , ho moans without four or favor. " This euloglum won from Mrs. Stanley's ' hearers : "Wo will vote for Stanley's missus. " The secretary of the homo oOlco has written - ton Mr. Stanley that his cnrtltlcato of Brit ish nationality U perfectly valid , as during a period of twenty years ho snowed a resi dence In England , wbllo a period of over live years i& sufliaiont to qualify for cltl- zonsulp. Huuly'ii Unpleasant I.lnna. Timothy Healy finds It dangerous to openly appear on the slrcots of Dublin. He was recognized there on Tuesday and was tot upon by a mob , who maltreated him. Ho was compelled to take refuge in a bouso under a guard ot polico. Again yesterday , as he was leaving u Federation meeting , a crowd triad to stop him. Some of the crowd auluted him with cries of "Dirty Tim. " Stones and b&ndfuli of mud were thrown at him. Ho Jumped upou a passing car , which rushed through the mob , knocking down and killing ono of the men. The crowd pursued tbo car and a bag of Hour was thrown over Hoaly.Vbon ho reached the ofllcc of t ho Froeman'H Journal and National Press , ho Jumped from the car , and at ho did so a man bit him a oovora blow on the Jaw with a sttctc.

If an interna tional agreement is not attained , the United States Government will sooner or later bo driven to adopt a Oliver standard or abandon the purchase of sllvor. The cessation of the United States to purchase sliver cannot fall to further depress tbo price of the motnl.

Tbo commissioners decided against divid ing West Omaha Into two precincts for the reason that of the 377 voters only sovonty- aovon petitioned for tbo division. County Treasurer Iroy asliod for an addi tional clerk at a salary of $125 per month , to bo known as a tax collector. The committee recommended tbo employment of the man , but Mr. Berlin said the salary was too hich. Tbo request was laid over to bo consldorod at some subsequent meeting of tbo board.
