at San Francisco, had the party in charge,
and will accompany them to Washington
The train was delayed at Cheyenne, and left
Sidney four hours late. Then were the
party treated to some fast riding, for this
side of North Platte, in an effort to make up
lost time, the engineer pulled the throttle
wide open and made forty-hve miles in forty
three minutes.
The party consisted Df twenty-six persons,
including male and female servants, tho
leading parsonage of course being Tsui kuo
Yin. HIS family, consisting of Mrs Tsui
Kuo Yin and son Wah Tsui Kuo accom-
panied him. The ambassador cannot speak
English. hence he did not make any remarks
regarding his opinions Of the country. He
is a man about forty and can maze no pre-
tensions whatever to beauty. He IS, how
ever, quite intelligent looking. His wife is
pretty, while his son is as fat as roll OF
butter and as round as an apple dumping.
Next in rank TO the dlgntary was Prince
Sam Sin and wife, accompanied by Yo Wen,
a maid-servant Woyoo Yung, the acting
secretary OF the legation, and Tschi Tschi

Wang Hong, Too Tsi Lee, Kung Wang, Sun
Chin, All Sum, Kee Wah, Hop Lee Sin, Yen
Wan Ho do Lee, Wing Lee Pan and
Wang Ho.
The party was attired in Chinese costume,
ana with the exception of the servants all
wore green silk. The gown of the minister
was ornamented with solid gold buttons,
while that of his secretary was faced with
purple The respect shown the former was
very profound. Each time he would rise
the entire party would rise TO their
feet. The porter relates that when
they left San Francisco they were shown
how to call the porter by the electric bell
and that from thenceforth every Cninaman
on the car rang the bell about once each ff-
teen minutes They desired hot water above
all things and exhausted the supply in tho
first 100 miles
According TO the statement Of the private
secretary his highness is much pleased with
the American method of transportation.
The baggage of the party filled two cars,
each person carrying not less than fifteen
pieces. 1t required forty.hve minutes To

A Lengthy Meeting OF the Board
Inst Eyenfup

The board OF fire and police commissioners
met last night and held another lengthy
session. Chief Seavey appeared with several
requests, the first of which was that he be
reimbursed for money paid out for kilograms
sent by him which, according TO his state
ments, amounts to at least s.. 80 each thirty
days. The matter was referred to the finance
committee. His next request was that the
station be furnished three dozen canvass
bags In which TO store the property Of
prisoners which was granted. A mild de-
mand that printed books containing the rules
ana regulations of the police force be fur
nished each patrolmau was also referred to
the finance committee.
The chief then uniformed the beard that
certain saloon men were running their
places of business open on Sunday
and that IL was impossible for the
regular men to apprehend them. He wanted
some money 10 employ detectives with. The
finance committee will also consider this
matter.
Officer McBrides request for ten days
leave OF absence was denied on recon-
mendatiou of the chief. Officer Boyle who
owns farm in Iowa wanted thirty days
leave with ten days pay TO go over and
harvest his crop He was given twenty days
with ten days pay. Officer Stiles was
ber g.
Officer Haze was called mp for not llquidat-
ing bill for house rent. But he showed
that he was not to blame because DR. Ayers
the man he rented from wanted two months
rent instead of one and refused to take any
pay unless the officer would pay double the
amount due.
Officer Dubois, acting under instructions
from Sergeant johnson, reported that he had
found Block Watchmau Pete Boland drunk
on duty. The matter was laid ovor. The
bills of Chief Galligan, Captain Coulter and
Commissioner Hartman, incurred in attend
ing the meeting of fire chiefs in Kansas
City, amounting to $40, were ordered paid.
g. ID. Cox, ppeman on the chemical, was
granted ten days leave of absence
Nj. II. Morse e. Co. were granted per-
mission TO sell liquor as druggists
at Sixteenth and Howard streets

Joseph German policemen. Charles Bey
burn, j. Il. Lynch and Edward w. Helan

BASE BALL.
The Omaha CLUBS Finances.

The Omaha Clubs Finances.
The idea pretty generally prevails that the
Omaha base ball club has made handsome
profit this season, and that its close will see
them FIVE or six thousand dollars ahead.
This is erroneous. II the Omaha club comes
out 81, 900 the best OF it she will have done
well. TIE BEES base ball editor knows for
a fact that this will be about the size of
the seasons profit. and had 10 not
have been for Cr5oks' sale to Colum-
bers, they would have come out behind, as 1t
took portion OF this purchase money TO pay
of the remnant Of Indebtedness that rested
upon the club.
This expose of the clubs condition is
simply made to refute the story that big
money has been made this season.
This is ALL it might be appropos to add, a
sad commentary on Omaha's boosted
claim OF being a great base
bali town, and should act
as permanent check to the remonstrances
that are being made against the manage
ments disposing OF portion of Its talent. to
square itself. Let the citizens of Omaha
patronize Js ball team another year as it
deserves TO be patronzed, and there will be
no cause for unfavorable comment or criti-
