1t had taken just three hours and
twenty-eight minutes to pass. The
first body of the admiral's sailors passed
him at PIP p. M. The last man in line
went by at $40 p. m.
Hardly had the ambulance which
brought up the rear pulled under the
arch, when squadron A galloped into
place ready to escort the admiral to his
hotel. The admiral and Mayor Van
Wyck were completely tired out after
the review. The admiral's arm was
SO weary from the almost constant sa-
lutte, that in bidding goodbye to his
friends, he sometimes begged leave to
shake hands with his left hand.
His carriage was quickly brought,
and entering 1t, amid a perfect hurri-
cane of cheers, he was driven away. A
gigantic sailor who sat on the box with
the coachman carried the bouquet of
orchids which had been presenI "a to
the admiral during the afternoon. The
police arrangements during the day
were almost perfect, and at no time
getting the crowds off the reviewing
stands. The crowds overran Madison
square park, damned the streets all
around, and made frantic efforts to get
away. Through all the town
streets there hurried a surging, jost-
ling. hungry crowd, fighting its way
for any kind of a car or conveyance
that would take it home.
Yet the crowds did not seem to di-
minish Thousands came to take the
places vacated around the arch, and
the work of the police only made it
possible for one crowd to get out and
another to get in The new Corners
were not allowed on the stands, but
they got Just as close to them as the
police would permit, and there was not

day The committee was happy over
the perfect working of all Its plans.

awakened loud applause with Mary
land, my Maryland and Dixie" This
state had also the Fourth regiment,
Col William Howard commanding. 1t
was close rival of the Tenth.
Ohio followed with Gov. Bushnell at
the head. This state had the Fourth
and Fifth regiments and some unat-
tached troops and a Calling gun bat
terry. These troops served in the Span
ish- American war and recently did riot
duty in Cleveland.
On account OF the controversy be-
tween the members of the committee
and the head of the G. A. r. over the
place to be given to that organization
in the column, and Commander Shaw's
final order to his men not to march,
there was much speculation as to what
would he like, and how many men
would defy Gen. Shaw's mandate.
Thousands who were otherwise weary
and would have left the reviewing
stands and other places, waited to see.
Gen. 0. o. Howard was given mighty
cheer when he rode by the admiral at
the head of the column. He had all
told, about 800 veterans of the civil war
and about 200 Of these were G. A. r.
men. Some wore the G. A. R. uni
forms and caps, but the majority were
in plain civilian clothes. The rest of
the veterans were Loyal Legion men,
and a sprinkling of men who fought
In the civil war who did not belong to
any organization. The veterans went
wild when they saw Admiral Dewey.
Instead of the staff salute given by
every other command, the old fellows
called for three cheers for the admiral.
and in other ways manifested their
delight. Admiral Dewey was almost
as cordial, and his hat was off his head
all the time his old comrades in arms
were passing by. One old soldier, too
much used up by disease to walk, was
carted by his comrades on a little
wagon. He was lying at full length
as he passed the reviewing stand, but
he raised himself feebly on one arm and
nodded to the admiral
The unarmed section passed quickly
in review, and the parade was over.

County Attorney Not Inclined to Pros
ccute Andy Hunt.

County Attorney Shields was asked IL any
further action would be taken in the mat
ter Of the Pacific Express compauy's short
age; If any attempt would now be made to
prosecute Andy Hunt. He said nothing
would be done with Hunt; that he would
stand by the arrangement entered into be-
tween his predecessor, Mr.. Baldrige, and
Hunt, by which Hunt was granted immunity
from prosecution.
In Mr.. Shields opinion the county attor-
ney has the power in such cases to guarantee
immunity to one witness for the purpose of
securing testimony against other persons &C
cused as Scarborough and Bechel were.
ITO attempt to prosecute Hunt now he
said, would be very dishonorable. 1t would
be taking an unfair advantage of him, be-
cause the only real testimony against him
would be his own admissions made under
promise of immunity, and the court would,
in all probability, dismiss the case upon the
mere motion of the defense for this very
reason"

MAS0NS CONFER DEGREES
Eighth Annual Reunion of the Scot
fish Rite is Being
Held.

The eighth annual reunion of the Scottish
Rite Masons of Nebraska began at Masonic
hall yesterday with every prospect Of a
most successful session. The attendance was
limited to about 100, but this will be largely
increased, as the minor degrees are con-
ferred first and the candidates for these
are comparatively less numerous.
Mount Moriah Lodge Of Perfection has
charge OF the degree work and there
were twenty-five candidates in line for the
degrees. from the Fourth to the Fourteenth,
which were conferred yesterday. Last even
ing the Fourteenth degree, or that Of grand
perfect-elect and sublime Mason, was ad-
ministered and the work was accompanied
by a number of vocal selections by a special
choir.
The Masonic fraternity had a busy time
at their temple last night in connection
with the Scottish Rite when over forty
candidates presented themselves for the
purpose of receiving the fourteenth degree.
The music was of a special nature and
was in the hands of Thomas j. Kelly who
acted as o%rganist. The Madrigal quartet
composed of Mrs. Kelly, Miss Frances
Roeder, Mr.. McCreary and Mr.. Moore sang
the Deus Misereatur' and the "Benedictus''
in their usual good style, and MIR. McCreary,
Mrs. Kelly and Miss Roeder sang with artis-
tic finish a trio entitled Lord. Thy Glory
Fills the Heavens arranged from Weber by
Otto Lob.

GUESTS Of NORTH SIDE CLUB
city officials Invited TO Attend
and Make Some Ex-
plantations.

The members Of the city council, particu-
larly Councilman STUNT, and City Engineer
Rosewater are to be the special guests at
a meeting of the North Side Improvement
club, to be held at Thirty-second street and
Ames avenue, next Monday night. The in
vitations were extended at a meeting of
the club Monday night. Councilman Karr
was the only city official present and he
was called upon to tell how he was unable
to secure a number of Improvements the
northsiders want because the other mem
bers of the council would not let him have
them. This resulted in the issuance Of
the invitation.
One of the things that the club Is ~particu-
larry advocating is an extension Of the North
Omaha sewer. This sewer extends at pres
ent to Thirty-f first and Bristol streets and
the club wants it continued farther down
town. For lack of this extension a number
of floods causing considerable damage to
property has resulted because the water
could not be carried off. The work that the
northsiders wish will consume about two
thirds of the proceeds of the $50, 900 sewer
bonds voted at the election last fall.
The club members are also dissatisfied
with the water supply in the north end Of
the city and are anxious to have a dozen
water hydrants placed in various parts Of
the territory. These hydrants have not been
put in because of lack of money. The club
members also wish a fire alarm box located
in Central park and another at the old Fort
Omaha. These improvements have also not
been made because there is no money for
the purpose.

DECREE TO Be CONTESTED
Wellington Not Satisfied to Allow His Wife
to Have a Divorce.
DENIES CHARGES ALLEGED IN THE BILL
Chapter in n Canadian Misht
Marriage is TO lie Given Pub
Iicity Through the Me-
braskn Courts.

A divorce suit, very quietly prosecuted,
resulted recently in dissolving the matri-
monial bonds between Helena Gibbs Well
ington and william Edgar Wellington, To-
ronto parties. The decree was granted by
Judge Fawcett.
Wellington is a nurseryman of some
prominence in the province of ontario. His
wife charged him with infdelity with un-
known parties at the Yates hotel, Syracuse,
n. Y, and the Kittatinny hotel, Delaware
Water Gap, September, 1895. She alleged to
have lived here long enough to be a resident
of the county, the necessary time to en-
title her to an action in the courts here.
They were married in Toronto, June IL,
1888.
Local attorneys representing Wellington
vigorously opposed the granting OF the de-
cree. The suit was heard in the private
room of Judge Fawcett and the decree was
made the very day the answer of the hus-
bands attorneys was filed, In this answer
the husband denied that Mrs. Wellington had
been here long enough to entitle her to a
divorce in the Nebraska courts.
1t is said Wellington will insist that his
wife was not lawfully divorced and will go
into the Canadian courts to compel her to
resume her marital relations If she ever puts
foot upon Canadian soil. He denied in toto
all her allegations of infdelity. In the quiet
ontario capital social gossips have INDUCED
in a great deal of scandal about the affair.

generals department at Washington, is in

been acting assistant adjutant general of the
Department of the Missouri since last fall.
Through this discharge he resumes his rank
as first lieutenant of the Ninth cavalry.
He may be continued in his present staff
position for a time, but 1t is possible that
he will soon be relieved by another officer.
Company D., Seventh infantry, which is to
garrison Fort Crook after the departure of
the Sixteenth infantry for the Philippines,
will arrive in Omaha this morning from
Fort Smelling.
Captain Baxter, acting chief quartermaster
of this department, expects the beef in

latter part Of the week. He says the con-
tinual cropping out of new lines of investi-
CATION disarranges the itinerary of the

of the landing party which went to the sue
cor of the Spanish sailors who managed to
reach the shore from the sinking vessel and

Since Joseph Goldsmith obtained a verdict
in the district court against the Rockford
Insurance company of Rockford, ILL.,, the
other insurance companies are ceasing to re-
sist his suits. In all he instituted actions
for a total of 81 900. The other companies
are the Insurance company of Pennsylvania,
the Royal Exchange Assurance of London,
the Concordia, and the Security companies.
The suit against the Insurance company of
Pennsylvania was dismissed yesterday at the
costs of the defendant on the understanding
that the loss is to be adjusted. Goldsmith's
actions grew out of the effort of the COM
panies to show that the fire of the National
Clothing company in May last was Of in
cendiary origin.

United States to Commence Making
Smokclcss Powder.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The Navy de-
partment is ready to take whatever steps
may be necessary in carrying out the pro-
visions of the naval bill for the purchase of
smokeless powder. 1t is not intended to
antagonize the commercial interests engaged
in this line of manufacture, throwing the
whole burden of production on the govern
ment plants. The government has a plant
at Indian Head which, when completed, will
turn out a maximum product of about 5000
pounds a day. But this will in no way COM
pete with the private manufacturers.
The navy has now a powder known to
the profession as pyro-cellulose, which is
equal to, If not better, than any smokeless
powders used by foreign countries. Con-
trary to reports, the new powder which has
been tested by the navy under service con-
d%itions, is not only not injurious to the
guns now in use, but is so adjusted to their
requirements that it has increased their eff
ficiency on an average of 500 per cent.
