MEN'S COMPENSATION BILL.
THE NEBRASKA LAWMAKERS
Brief Mention of the Work Being Don"!
by Nebraska Solons In the
Houses of Legislature.
The Sunday baseball bill as It en mo
front the senate was recommended for
(passage in the house after two hours
or more of debute and after It had
been considerably amended As It
goes to the thiid reading tho measure
,s more drastic In Its piotoethe fea

I ;senate. The bill had received moro
I ithan two-thirds support In tliu senate
, ,It was not a popular lavorito with the
'house. It would not have been pushed
jthrough the housu so soon an It was.
Iliad not the chairman refused to con-
klcr further amendments, half a dot
,cn of which were on the clerk's desk,
and put tho motion to approvo It as
amended.
As tho bill escapes from the milling
.given by tho house It forbids Sunday
'baseball In any part of tho state un
less tho people of a county, city or
village vote by a majority of thoso
voting thereon that' it shall bo al
lowed. As It came from tho senate
the bill provided that Sunday base
ball should bo legal unless county, city
or vlllago authorities tako special
'exception thereto.
Employers' Liability.
Tho senate and houso judiciary
commltteo listened to arguments by
Herman Ayo and C. J. Smyth of
Omaha against most of tho pending
workmen's compensation laws, and
especially against tho majority report
of tho commission which was named
by tho governor to mako a full Inves
tigation and to report Its findings.
Both of thoso nttorneys dwelt on the
right of tho laboring man to elect
whether ho Is willing to como under
tho provisions of tho compensation
law, If one is passed, or to go to law,
as ho can now do. Mr. Smyth mnkos,
a specialty of personal Injury casos,
but it Is said Mr. Ayo does not special
izo in this line. Ho said In beginning
a speech that lasted an hour or moro
that ho was a freak, In that ho ap
peared beforo tho legislature meroly

Keckloy's bill for a 20 per cent re
duction of Intrastate carload rates on
corn, wheat, oats, apples, potatoes
and building materials was sent to
the general Mo by tho houso railroad
committee. Tor threo hours prior to
the commltteo's action tho railroads
had their Inning. A half dozen repre

try accompanied by his wife,
bleeping under thu htais and under
forest trees, to attend to tho duties
of his olllce. has been promoted
'through tho merit syatom to thu of
fice of American consul to Siberia
Instead of sitting In his otllco to
attend to routine duties, he set about
to acquaint the natives with Ameri
can Idons, and In doing this ho aided
them to seek imtlor means of living,
better methods or cultivating their
farms, and In many ways helped to
Improve their condition
Mrs Haehcrlo visited the natives,
made thotn feel that tho consul's
homo was always (men to them and
many took advantage of the hospital
ity, some after a Journey of 200
miles In this manner tho consul nud
his wife becamo acquainted with the
nntlves.
Mr. HaebcrlcV efforts wore recog
nized by the government of Honduras,
and ptogiosslvtf articles which he
wrote were circulated by the govern
ment. Camped at Roadside.
Mrs. llnoberle was Mlsi Ida Wlon

panied her husband on many arduous
trips
Sometimes tho eouplo would accept
tho hospitality of the people along tho
roads, and swing their hnmmocks In
front of their houses., and sometimes
they would camp along tho road.
Speaking of his trips, Mr. Haeberlo
paid: "A saddle mule Is needed to
make tho Journeys Into the Interior,
ns there are no railroads. In addition
to tho saddlo mule, a traveler must
have a pack mule and a 'mozo' or
guide. Tho guide does not ride, nnd
tho traveler does not havo to worry
about thp guide becoming tired Tho
only concern Is to obtain a mule
which will keep ur with tho guide.
"Tho riding Is rough, being along
mountainous trails and ucnr preci
pices. Tho usual day's Journey Is 37
miles,
"The Journey to tho north coast Is
a trip of six days, and to tho south
coast requires two and one-half days.
Borne of tho fancy mules travel 20
leagues n day
"Most of tho houses are modest,
and with few accommodations, but
great hospitality Is shown, and tho
natives give freely of their food,
which consists principally of coffee,
eggs, rice, beans, and tho native corn
cakes.
"Eggs, by the way, cost nbout 20
cents a dozen In the capital, but they
are fresh, aa there are no cold storago
plants In that country.
"Tho namo of the capital, Teguci
galpa, Interpreted, moans 'The Hills
of Silver.' and tho namo Is properly
applied, as the hills and mountains
are rich in mineral wealth, silver and
gold
"The old Spanish mine of Snntn
Lucia, near the capital, Is still worked
In a small way In the seventeenth
century more than $1,000,000 was sent
to the king of Spain as ono-llfth of
one mine's output for tho year. Tho
king sent u wooden imago of Christ
to tho city, as a token of his apprecia
tion, and this wooden Image occupies
n plnco in the church at tho prosont

BRITISH MUSEUM'S TREASURE
Arabic Book, of Which There Is No
Other Copy In the World, Ac
quired by That Institution.
Tho trustees of tho Hrltlsh museum
havo Just acquired a manuscript of
the Fndalih al-batlnlynh, an account of
tho doctrines of the Knrmathlans,
Ismallls and other esoteric nnd un
orthodox sects of Mohammedanism,
by tho famous theologian, Muhammad
Ibn Muhammad al-Ghazzali. This Is
apparently a unique Arabic MS., as no
other copy Is on record, In It tho
author systematically sets forth the
doctrines of tho various soctB and re
futes them. Tho work Is of great
significance, ns It supplies a very
early account of these sects, somo of
which nre very Important. Ghazzall
was born In A. D. 1059, and spent his
early years In Tub, Khornsan. Ho
studied under tho great Imnn nl
Hnrmn'uln at Nlshnpur. In A. D. 1091
ho becamo a professor at tho Nlza
miya college, In Bagdad, where he
worked for four years. Ho then re
signed In order to contlnuo his own
studies and effect a satisfactory con
cordat of orthodoxy, renson and mysti
cism. Ho died In Tub In A. I). 1111.
His lnflucnco upon tho later develop
ments of Islam Has been enormous.
Suyutl, n famous author, says: "If
there could bo anothor prophet nftor
Mahomet, It would certainly bo Al
Ghazzall." Tho present MS. wns
copied In A. D. 12G0, and Is perfect ex
cept for a fow pages at tho beginning.
"Justice" Openly Bought.
Removal of an unjust Judge from
tho United States bench reminds the
London Chronicle- that centuries ago
justice was not ndminlstored nearly
so Impartially as It Is now. There
wore the "basket Justices" who re
ceived their nickname from tho pres
ents openly handed up to them In
court by suitors. And In moro re
cent times there wore ho "trndlng
Justices" satirized by Fielding In
"Amolln." Townsend, tho celobrated
How streot runner, In his ovldenco
before a parliamentary commltteo In
181C, described how theso Justlcefl
used to issue batches of warrants ev
ery day "to tako up all tho poor dovlls
on the streets, so as to charge thorn
two shillings four pence each as ball.
Only tho penniless offenders wero
sont to Jail, and a morning's work
would sometimes produco 10 ($50)."
After which tho worthy magistrate
and his clerk would ndjourn to n

est safety of those who took tho medl
lino if thoso who put it up followed a
formula In their native tongue.
There was almost as little acted as
spoken drama In thu streets. I hnvo
given my Impression of tho songless
noss of Spain In Madrid us elsewhere,
but If there was no street singing
there was often street playing by
pathetic bands of blind minstrels
with guitars and mandolins. The blind
abound everywhere In Spain in that
piofesslou of utrcet beggary which I
alwayB encouraged, believing, as I do,
thnt comfort in this unbalanced world
cannot bo too constantly reminded of
misery. As thu hunchbacks are In
Italy, or tho wooden pog-legged in
England, bo tho blind are in Spain, for
number.
Tho Spanish street 13 rarely the
theatrical spectacle thut the Italian
street nearly always Is. Now and then
there was a bit In Madrid which ono
would bo sorry to havo missed; bucU
was tho funeral of a civil magistrate,
otherwise unknown to mo, which I
saw pasB my cafo window, a most
architectural black hearse, with a
black roof, drawn by eight black
horses, sable-plumed. Tho hearse was
open at tho Bides, with colli n fully
showing, and a gold-laced chapcau
bras lying on It. Hchlnd came 20 or
25 gentlemen on foot in tho modern
Ineffectiveness of frock coats and top
hats, and after them eight or ten
closed carriages. Tho procession
passed without tho least notice from
tho crowd, which I saw at other time3
stirred to a flutter of emulation In
its small boys by companies of Infan
try marching to tho music of sharply
blown bugles. Tho men wore hand
somer than Italian soldiers, but
not so handsome as tho English, nnd
in figure they were not qulto tho do

MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM.
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.
It Is reported (hat eight now Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the ovcluslvo uso of the Canadian
Trade. These nro being built by thu
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cuuard Companies.
Tho llnVrii lo bo built for the Whlto
Star nro to bo of tho samo type as tho
I.aurentlc and Majestic, and will re
place the Canada nud Teutonic. Tho
Cunaid Linn's new steamer, Ascanla,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England lo
Montreal, and her sister ship will bo
launched early 'next year
It Ih predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not bo slow In following
tho example of tho other big concerns,
ns It Is a matter of common belief that
Canada, more than nny' other In tho
world, will be the country of tho fu
ture, and the best field for Investment
by shipping Interests.
An official of ono of tho companies
nlrcady building steamers for this
trade told tho American yesterday
that the Ideal steamer for this servlco
Is the two-cabin boat, having nccim
tnodatlon for secoudclasa and steer
age passengers only.
"Wo do not expect thnt tho $5,000
cabin do luxo class will travel be
tween Canada and England very ex
tensively," Ho said, "but tho business
that Is to bo obtained there will ba
Immensely lucrative, and for tho next
ten years tho eyes of tho shipping
world will bo riveted on Cnnnda. The
J'anama Canal, undoubtedly ill re
ceive n lot of attention, but tho busi
ness In that route will bo nothing com
pared with the Canadian trade for th
Immediate- future. Panama will de
velop and becomo bigger In tho year
to como, but at tho present wo nro
most concerned with the tremendous
tide of Immigtatlon that Is being di
verted from tho United Status to tha
Dominion. .
"The fnrm land of tho vast North
West Is tho attraction, nnd whllo this
Hood of Immigration Is at Its height,
tho Canadian Government exercises a
strict censorship over tho clnss of Im
migrants admitted. In thlB way they
tiro drawing their future citizens from
tho Northern countries, nnd hava
shown an unwelcome fnco to tho peo
