ing brothers.

A royal good time and plenty Of it was
served up to the members OF the supreme
council Of the Young Mems Institute last
night at the Commercial club rooms by local
members Of the order at a reception and
dinner. Every member OF the supreme coun-
Gil was present and each contributed his
share to the general enjoyment.
T. J. Fitzmorrls was the POSTMASTER and
heartily welcomed the guests. The address
Of welcome was responded to by II. j.
Kierce, supreme president, who not only
thanked the local members Of the order. but
stated that the supreme council expected to
camp in Omaha until the Omaha council
was recognized.

boys The last speaker was John J. Barry,
whose subject was "What / Did with my

Omaha" Mr.. Barry is a newspaper man
from Kentucky and his talk was as full OF
humor as his state is Of blue grass. Dur
ing the evening the Elks' quartet sang
several selections. The dinner was elab-
crate.
At the afternoon session Of the supreme
council the following resolutions we're
adopted:
Resolved: BY the supreme council of the
Young Mems Institute that II felicitates
the anthracite coal miners on their victory
in securing arbitration on the matters in
controversy between them and the mine
operators, and
Resolved: That II is the sense of this
council that the application Of Christian
principles, as laid down by His Holiness,
Leo XIII, in his encyclical on the relations
of employer and employe, will do away with
such disasters as the strike, which has
wrung the nation, and
Resolved: That the supreme council, rec
\ ognizing the extreme hardships and dis
tressing conditions of the miners In the
anthracite regions, many 'of whom are
members OF our order, hereby instructs its
supreme president to appeal forthwith "a
all subordinate councils TO contribute as
literally as their means will permit to re-
lieve the distress prevailing in that locality.
It is probable that the council will not
conclude Its work today. Only three OF
the committee have reported in full and
there are several others that have not
reported at all. The election OF o%fieers,
which at first promised to occupy very little
time. will not be so easily decided. as there
are many candidates for each place and
considerable rivalry has developed.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-A letter from an off,

received here shows that the British force
Is even In n more precarious position than
has been indicated In the official dispatches.
The writer says:
NO one, will appreciate this business until
II Is too late. We are in a regular trap and
now we are going to get out we do not

The worst Is that our blacks are 1unklng

The writer refers incidentally to some
brisk fights, which he apparently presumes
was already known Of here. and adds:
Thirty-three OF us escaped. BY jove, that
was a pretty affair. We whites stood out,
butch, well, we have too many blacks.

sponsible for the disaster 10 Colonel
Swayne's force.
For the sake Of economy, they say, the
department accepted raw levies Of blacks
as trained, disciplined soldiers, while Colonel
Swayne's urgent counsel tn establish a per-
manent military post at Curacao was not
followed.
Lord Cranborne's statement in the House
OF Commons has created an uneasy feeling
and further news is eagerly awaited.
There Is no question that Colonel
Swayne's force is now in q most p~erilous
position. as the Mullah will receive large
accessions of fighting strength from the
tribes which previously remained passive.
An official connected With the Red sea
ports, in an interview published in the
Star today, says
The mullah and other turbulent chiefs
have been literally supplied with rifles by
Americans and Germans In spite of the
The rifles supplied by the Americans were
done up as cotton goods. This explains the
frequent reference in consular reports to
the fondness of the Somallis for American
calicoes and shirtings. 1t is not calico the
Somali wants, but the rifles inside the
calico.
