AROUND CAPE GOOD HOPE
NEW ROUTE FROM EUROPE TO
THE PACIFIC.
British ship Cape Clear has just Fin
ished Successful Experimental
Trip over the New Course.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 10
The British ship Cape Clear, which
arrived here few days ago from
Hamburg, did some phenomenal sail
ing, and, in addition to establishing
record that will be hard to beat, dem
onstrates the advantage of the Cape
of Good Hope route over the way
round the Horn for ships coming to
this coast from European ports. The
distance is greater around Good
Hope, but there are no head winds to
buck and the vessel arrives in the
Pacific in just as good condition as
when she started on her voyage. The
Cape Clear was $50 days coming from
Hamburg to San Francisco by way of
the Cape of Good Hope. She travelled
exactly 24,296 miles, and for 50 con-
secutive days averaged 222 nautical
miles a day. The distance from Ham
burg to San Francisco by way of
Cape Horn is a little over $4,000
miles. nearly 10000 miles shorter than
the course taken by the Cape Clear,
and yet the Cape Clear has occupied
less time in making the trip than a
number of recent arrivals by way of
tne Horn. All the vessels InaI came
around the Horn encountered heavy
weather. which strained hulls and
spars, while the Cape Clear made the
whole trip with favorable breezes and
very little knocking about by the ele
ments. The Italian ship L. Raggio
which left Swansea August Goth, was
| spoken when 40 days out by the Cap,
Clear. They were in the South At
lantic at the time and both bound fol-
San Francisco, the Raggio by way o
the Horn and the Cape Clear by wa!
of the Cape of Good Hope. The ship
possess similar sailing qualities, bu
in spite of the fact that the Raggit
had over 10000 miles shorter distanc,
to travel, she only beat the Cape Clea
to port by six days. The trip of TIL
Cape Clear was largely in the natur
of an experiment and was watched
with a great deal of interest in ship
ping circles. 1t may lead to a dis
continuance altogether of the Cap
Horn route for ships coming this way

OMAHA, Aug. 6.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: To whose financial and business tact
shall we credit the see-saw practice on
Sunday admission? 1t is the general opih-
ion among business and workingmen of
Omaha today that directing Of exposition
affairs since July 1 by the Board Of Dr.
rectors or executive committee simply JUS
tify your contention for a director general.
1t is an outrage upon the laboring men of
this city and vicinity to compel them to
pay so cents for a half day on the expo
sition grounds, when the Government build
ing is closed, the most attractive exhibits
in other buildings covered up and many
privileges barred in the various amusement
resorts. In other words, with two-thirds
of the attractions cut off people must put
up so cents or stay off the grounds. 1t
is the opinion of the writer that the de-
cision to charge full rates yesterday arose
from the fact that there would be a great
many people here from Kansas City and
the all wise committee could not resist the
opportunity to hold them up for full rates.
Give us . director general, give the Board
of Directors and executive committee a va
cation until October 81 and put them on
a par with other stockholders by can
ceiling their passes and other extra priv
ileges, Gull a few thousand out of the dead
head list and l will guaranty a surplus
at the end of the show.

OMAHA, Aug. Ito the Editor Of The
Bee: Will you kindly find a place for the
expression Of the following idea in connec-
tion with our great Transmississippi Expo
sition? We are all anxious 10 have it a
decided financial success; we are equally
DESTROYS, l trust, that every one of our
Omaha people may see the beauties and at
fractions of this great educator; we hope
that even the most destitute amongst US
may have the enjoyment of an entire day
upon the exposition grounds. On behalf of
this last named class / beg to make the fol
lowing suggestions:
/. Let a popular subscription fund be at
once started to pay the admission fee OF
every one in Omaha who cannot themselves
pay. l believe that 81, 900 will be amply
sufficient for this purpose.
2. Let employers allow their employees the
full day on and pay them for it; the time
can be made up by working an extra hour
for the following eight or ten days.
3. Let the Associated Charities have the
distribution of the necessary tickets; its
knowledge OF the needy in Omaha makes
that society the best superintendent of this
effort,
4. Let kind hearted men and women pro-

WITH THE STREET THRONCS
Various Phases Of the Interest Shown by
Visitors from Abroad.
GOOD EXPOSITION BAROMETER DOWN ToWf
crowds on the Streets Indicate the
Size of the Attendance-what
the People Mostly Care
to Look At.

Omaha as a city seems to have some at
fractions for visitors as we'll as the exposi-
ton. Not all those who come here spend
their entire time within the high board en-
closure in the north part of town, but they
find things of interest which the resident, or
those familiar with the city, wot not Of.
Men of a commercial turn Of mind like to
look at the business blocks; those whose
thoughts run to the comfort and pleasure OF
their fellowmen seek out the parks; while
those from the rural districts hourly see
scores Of things which to them are Of the
greatest Importance.
AS a rule the average visitor to the city,
called here by the exposition, sets aside the
afternoon and evening to see that show, and
devotes the morning to looking over the
town. So much SO is this the case that II
has come to be understood that the crowds
on the streets Of the city are
an indication Of the attendance
out at the grounds. The visitor can gen.
orally be picked out Of the crowd which
moves along the streets by the leisurely
manner in which he acts. There is that air
about him which seems to say for him
that he came to see and intends to see 1t all
The locality where the large retail stores
are to be found appears to be the most popu-
oA' oiC Niklc
when the streets there are almost impass-
able, so great is the crowd.
Many of the visitors are on their vaca-
tions and are supposed to be seeking res,
and recuperation, yet they tramp for hours
over the stone payements, now looking into
some attractive show window and agair
listening to the jarring voice of the fakir
as he calls attention to his wares. The
plaintiye strains from the decrepit hand
organ are not overlooked and II the tale OF
misfortune and disaster they unfold brings
remunerative attention 1t is almost safe tc
conclude that the contributor is a visitor Il
the city. Nothing escapes their eyes and
they as quickly extend sympathy to the
musical mendicant as in applauding the
more inspiring tones Of the band at ths
exposition. 1t is at all times an American
gathering, eager to learn the latest new.
from the war and anxious for a good croI
of corn.

KEEP STRIKE LEADER IN JAIL
Trouble with the Oshkosh Woodwork
ers Apparently Far from
settlement.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Aug. S.-The striking
woodworkers here deprived Of a leader over
Sunday on account of a clever coup by the
millmen. Thomas l. Kidd, the recognized
leader OF the strikers. was arrested a second
time Saturday night and kept in custody
over Sunday. thereby preventing him from
attending the usual Sunday labor meeting
and advising the strikers as to the next
step TO be taken by them. The arrest was
made OF a civil action for damages brought
by the Paine Lumber company in connection
with the strike and subsequent riots. The
| strikers were led to suppose Mr.. Kidd had
left the city of his own accord and did not
know he was under arrest, To prevent any
possible trouble, he was taken to a neigh
boring city over Sunday.
Strong detail of police were stationed
about the various mills today, but there was
no disturbance. This is the thirteenth week
OF The strike and with few exceptions the
strikers ranks are still unbroken.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


OMAHA, Aug. 6.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Perhaps it would be worth while for
your great paper to emphasize the fact
that the new national bankruptcy law, in
sofar as it applies to voluntary bankruptcy.
is now in full force and effect. The act is
available to that large class of our citizens
whose confidence in the future OF this city
led them into Improbable investments and
to that other larger class of our citizens
whose enterprise brought to them disasters
which human foresight could not prevent.
l believe the new law is a benehcent one,
not alone to the individuals who may legit-
imately take advantage of its provisions,
but to the community. Many of the men
Of Omaha who were foremost in every good
work eight and ten years ago find their
hands tied by deficiency judgments or are
, grooming under burdens of debt which it
is impossible for them even to liquidate.
These men are deferred from exercising their
gifts and are prevented from bringing to
themselves and families relief from pow
| erty by their hard conditions which forced
them to sacrifice the accumulations of lives
of energy and honesty. They would pay
/ their obligations cheerfully If ii were pos
sible. 1t is out of the question. However,
II they were able to lift up their heads and
engage in business they would make new
fortunes and again bless the community
with their skill and enterprise.
The bankruptcy law offers to them what
the year of jubilee gave to the debtor in
Mosaic times-a chance to begin a business
career anew with no incubus OF unsatisfied
. judgments to modest or make them afraid,
Misfortune is not a badge of fraud. Debt
in these last five years is no disgrace. TIC
be a bankrupt after the panic of 1893 is
no reflection upon the honesty, industry OF
skill of a capable business man. To avail
himself of this benefcent act, passed ex-
pressly for his relief in answer to a demand
from the whole country, is not discreditable
and it should not be humiliating. TIT
sooner good citizens of Omaha relieve them
selves and this community of the incubu;
of debts which now hangs about the meek
of enterprise the sooner will Omaha in,
dividually and collectively see the days
when every citizen willing to work has the
opportunity and every man willing to inves'
his earnings in legitimate business find {
demand for these earnings and promp'
returns for his investment.

HIRED TO COMMIT A MURDER
Two Negroes and the Mans
Wife Under Arrest-Chance
for a Lynching.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. S.-The people Of
Clarendon, Monroe county, are fearfully
wrought up over an assassination that took
place there on July so and the develop
ments which took place on Saturday and
yesterday. On the night of July 80 J. T. Orr,
a prominent hardware merchant of Claren-
don, was murdered in his house and now his
wife and two negroes are in Jail, the negroes
being charged with the murder direct and
Mrs. Orr is charged with having procured
their services to make way with her hus-
band. There was a demonstration there
last night and a lynching bee may yet be
the climax.
Orr was most foully murdered, the shot
having been fired through the window Of his
home. The search for the guilty parties
was unfruitful until Saturday. when the
sheriff learned of a statement being made
by a young woman that Mrs. Orr knew
something of the assassination. 1t was
charged that she hired a negro named
Dennis Record to kill Mr., Orr. A negro
named Manse Castle, however, volunteered
to do the work for the same amount, so it
was stated. Record, Castle and Mrs. Orr
| were Immediately placed under arrest.
Yesterday Castle said that he killed Orr
and charged that Mrs. Orr had hired him
to do the work. Last night a great crowd
| gathered in the public square and 1t looked
for a time as IL there would be a lynching.
Judge Thomas, who had just returned from
Des dare, made a speech and made an
urgent appeal to the crowd not to mob the
| prisoners. He announced he would at once
adjourn court at Lonoke and try the prison
ers. The crowd dispersed and Mrs. Orr.
who had been kept in the court house since
her arrest, was conducted to the Jail.
Orr's life was insured for 5000 in the
knights of Pythias and Maccabees. His
wife is the beneficiary. While Castle
charges that Mrs. Orr hired him to do the
| Job, there are some conservative citizens
who believe that Mrs. Orr is g%uiltless and
| that a trial will clear her. There will be an
| examining trial Tuesday.

GET POINTERS ON PROGRESS
City Clerk and Comptroller Back from the
Detroit Convention.
IMPRESSED WITH THE LEAGUES OBJECT
Highly ana westbcra Declare Them
selves rs Greatly Impressed with
the scope and Possibilities
OF the Organization.

City Clerk Highly and City Comptroller
Westberg have returned from Detroit, where
they were in attendance at the annual con-
vention OF the League of American Munich
palities last week. They took in a couple
Of days of the proceedings as non d~elegates
and came back with the arm impression
that in the course of time the league will
be an element in the government of the
municipalities of this country.
There is no question that the inter
change OF ideas between city officials is
bound to result in better government" de-
clares Comptroller Westberg. The body
deals with such general propositions as gar
bage disposal, civil service, regulation OF
saloons, street paving, franchise tights,
municipal ownership of public service in
Neutrality-suspicious. that are before the ma
jority of the cities in the country. Out of
the leaven of the discussion in which city
officials of all large cities participate much
good is bound to come.
City Clerk Highly is also impressed with the
worth of the convention as a mutual educa-
ton society. He says "A membership in
the league is valuable to every large city, for
IN the convention serious problems that con-
front every municipality are discussed by
men educated TO city government. There is
ouC one seeming 1ault that L could discover
In the gathering. 1t seemed to ms that the
league Is at present working on radical
lines against corporations, but it will soor
learn that corporations have as many rights
as individuals. If the body is conservative
it must bring much good to American
cities"
The two city officials had a very enjoyable
trip. They went directly to Detroit ant
were much impressed with the beauties OF
the city, On their return they took ths
steamboat trip around the lakes, stopping fol
a few hours at Mackinaw.

OF the platform referring to the acquisition

James Bradshaw, a brother-in-law OF
Speaker Farris, candidate for governor, who
joined Congressman Richard Bland last
week in a letter Of apparent opposition to
the requirement of territory, says today:
There will be no trouble about the plat
form. All that Bland desired from the start
was to prevent a declaration against the
annexation Of territory. His position Is just
this: We will have Porto Rico in a short
time, When peace is declared the Ameri-
cans will pour into Cuba and develop Its
industries. Before a year, perhaps, formal
application will be made to be annexed 10
the United States and Cuba will inevitably
pass into our hands. Why should the demo-
cratic party declare itself against a proceed
ure which would shortly be
AS to the Philippines we have no business

that Bland and Stone are in perfect accord
