Another sen sational scandal is cropping out in the Pari world of art. Acting upon informa tion given, partly for jplte, partly for con science sake, the Paria pcllce have raided .ie premises of seventeen dealers In ob jects of art and have confiscated a great number of fake pictures, paintings', paint ings fraudulently bearing the names of eminent artUie. . A picture factory In Lontmarte has been found In which aeveral Bohemian ar tists, who are expert copyists, are reg ularly employed in Imitating the works of old masters. These pictures, signed with tbe names of bias, Daublgny, Corot and other famous painters, are sold to American collectors. One of tbe raided dealers, on learning that rivals in busi ness bad put tbe police on his trnck, has made revelations showing that art frauds bavo baen committed for years on a large scale and with impunity. The "Tiara of Saltaphernes," now in the Louvre, was bought by the state for $40, 000. The purchase caused much discussion at the time, and now the dealer, who is in a mood to tell tales out of school, says he made a plaster model for tbe tiara from designs furnished by persons whose names be has given to tbe police. Ho believes that similar frauds have been perpetuated on other Paris museums, nota . bly the Musee Carnavalet. Several can vases In the Spltzer collection he pro nounces fraudulent imitations.

"The Immensely powerful Influences" referred to by Arnold White are at last known. Some of the most powerful names In the kingdom are on Wright's list of shareholders. Independent Investigation by the World correspondent revealed the names, which hitherto have been closely guarded. The Investigation confirms the rumor, long cur rent, but unauthcntlcated until now, that the duke of Connaught, a brother of King Edward, was financially Interested In Wrlght'a speculations. It has been fre quently charged that It was owing to the duke of Connaught's former Interest In Wright's companies that Wright was so long protected from public prosecution. The duke of Connaught bought 1,250 shares In November, 1899, at the time the London L Globe company was at the flood tide of its prosperity. These shares he held for six months and then sold. No less a name than that of the IU. Hon. Arthur Balfour, now premier of England, was carried on Wright's list of sharehold ers. Mr. Balfour, then first lord of the treasury and leader of the House of Com mons, held 1,000 shares of the London & Globe stock. Hon. Allwayne Fellowes, M. P., now a Junior lord of the treasury, then vice chamberlain of her late majesty's household, was interested to the extent of 1,000 shires; Hon. Alfred Lyttleton, M. P.. had 500 shares; John Penn, M". P., 1,000 shares; Walter Chamberlain, the colonial secretary's brother, 625 shares. Among tbe Influential personages at court who were Interested In Wright's companies were the earl of Warwick, who held 25,010 shares; Sir James Reld, body physician to the late queen and to King Edward, who gave his address as Buckingham palace, 700 shares; Lord William Beresford, 10,350 shares; Count Allhert Gletchen, cousin of the king, St. James palace, twenty shares; Sir Edward Colebrooke, 2,750 shares; Vis count Churchill, lord In waiting to tw king and acting lord chsniberlavh, rao was oni of Hooley'a ornamental directors, 1,000 shares; Lord Edward Spencer Churchill, 750 Bbares.

With a new apeed record and the otilcial endorse ment of King Edward all within a week automoblllng haa taken a new Impetus. To be without a motor carriage of some sort now Is to be out of fashion. C. 8. Rolls, son of Lord Llangattock, is the proud possessor of the new flying atart kilometer record. It waa made by him In his eighty horsepower speoial rac ing car by permission of the duke of Port land on the private track at Welbeck ab bey. He covered the distance In twenty seven seconds, equal to a speed of about eighty-three and two-third miles an hour. This beats the best previous record, held by Jarrott, by one and one fifteenth sec onds. Mr. Rolls' car haa a peculiar ap pearance, resembling nothing so much as an upturned boat. It was built In France, but la fitted with English tires. Although the official time waa taken for the run, it will not stand for a record, aa Mr. Roll made It In a howling gale behind him and had the advantage of a alight grade. Aa It Is he fastest rrun made under all con ditions, Mr. Roll is being warmly con gratulated by all enthusiasts. It Is to Mr. Roils that King Edward owea his proficiency aa an automoblllst. While prince of Wales he became interested In the sport and naturally turned to Mr. Rolls, a leader In automoblllng, who gave him the benefit of bis knowledge. The king of the Belgiana and the king of Italy were also coached by Mr. Rolls. Forgets His Dinner. The holder of the new kilometer record Is modest. It Is said that on tbe evening ha made his sensational run In the duke of Portland'a park he had an engagement to dine with tbe prince of Wales, but In his excitement forgot all about It.

With tbe renewal of Interest in automo blllng aome weird atylea in motor masks are being shown in all the fashionable shops. To the enthusiast these represent the highest taate in masks and dust pro tectors. The English styles, it is claimed, are not so horribly ugly aa thoae Indorsed by the French. One of the principal ob jections to the French masks la that they are not an adjunct to beauty. In designing the English motoring headgear the Idea haa been to provide something which will not make the wearer look like a hobgoblin. NICE, France, March 21.

President Roosevelt's coal strike arbitration board today announced Ita unanimous findings, which are to be binding on operators and men alike till March 31, 1906. Generally it may be aald that tbe matters In dispute have been compromised, for while the meu win a partial recognition of their union by the formation of Joint conciliation boarda, the coal barona acore a point by the declaration that while recognition la not within the arbitrators' power to order it might be desirable were the Mine Work- era' union somewhat differently organised. Bo with tha other questions of hours and wages, they are moat carefully dealt with, the different classes of labor being sepa rated and special awarda made. In some Instance wages have been increased and in Othera hours reduced, the dominating Idea apparently being to grant an actual or vir tual 10 per cent rise, but In practically no Inatance haa more money been given tor lesa work. Mr. Baer's proposal ot a eliding acale convention haa been adopted and In future wages will rlae and fall automatically with the price of coal, though they can never drop below tbe ratea mentioned In the award. ,. Dealing. with the prevention of future dis putes, the arbitrators have taken two note worthy atsps. They have formed a Joint conciliation board to -which all grlevancea must be referred and have recommended egtalatlon to tbe state and federal author ities, with the object of enabling auch ln- teatlgatlDD that JuatxcacludesL. AXtta same trme it hi specifically set forth that no binding award ahould reault from auch proceedings. For the rest, it may be aald that child labor and the coal and iron polloe system kfe condemned, the aocial conditions of the miners declared fairly good and the rate of wagea la said to compare favorably with that paid in other Industries. The report is dated March 13, and is algned by all members of tbe commission. namely: Judge Gray of Delaware, Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright and Brig adier General John M.

WEEK'S WORK ON THE APPROPRIATIONS Little Time Remaining In Which to Dispose of tho Mass of Other Bills Which Are Pending, (From a Etaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 21. (Special.) The revenue bill which pasted tbe house yes terday and waa read for the first Lime In the senate last night, passed the aecond reading in the tipper branch of tbe legis lature this morning. At this session the Ramsey elevator bill, compelling railroads to grant full terminal and transfer facili ties to farmers' elevators, and Imposing upon the farmers the requirement of con structing their elevators at a cost not less than $2,000, also waa read for the second time. The house adjourned yesterday and the senate thla morning until 2:30 Monday afternoon. Opposition to the revenue bill subsided when the fight In the house ended. That measure will glide swiftly through tho sen- te, passing that body about Thursday, so that before the end of another week It Is mora than likely to have become a law. No obstruction will be placed In Ita way lu the aenate, aave possibly tbe four votes ot the fusion members, and these, of course. will count for naught, since tbe forces back of this revenue measure have even a stronger grip on the senate than on the house. Governor Mickey will affix hla offi cial algnature to the bill without hesi tancy. He has committed himself in favor of this measure. Of it ha said today: "I am glad to see this bill passed.

Thsre are many more constitutional amendment bilU . pending, but theae three are. In the Judg ment of the governor, the most Important. He said he would rather see them pushed through than to have twice as many ot the othera passed, for fear ot getting too many before the people at once. He contemplates, however, recommending the passage of two more such measures, one to provide that all appropriation billa ahall be presented to the governor by the fiftieth day of the legislative session, so as to give him ampla time In which to act on them before tho legislature adjourns, and the other provid ing that the governor shall withhold his aDoroval from bills making appropriations with proclaimed In language more forcible ln excess of the Incomo for tbe blennlum. than elegant that the Met company would be made to pay dearly for Its offense and that his friends didn't have control of the police board for nothing. The order of last night seems to prove that Westberg got Into quick connection with Police Commis sioner Broatch and that Broatch Is the po lice commission. It transpires that the Broatch tactics were begun earlier In the week when tho police club waa brandished over the saloons run by Andy Nelson and Dan Her, with notlcea to close promptly at 12 each night, which noticea were afterwards withdrawn, however, on promises to be good and boost tbe Broatch political fortunes.

Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock the orator ical conteat ot the Nebraska Collegiate Or atorical association will take place at Crelghton university hall.

He dwells with par ticular emphasis upon the prime Import ance of this state addressing Itself with singular purpose to wiping out Its present Illegal debt as a condition to potential de velopment. Sifting; Committees at Work. The general sentiment in both, houses seems favorable to these amendmenta and It Is believed they will get through, but the one great trouble is the legislature is making auch poor progress with the tre mendous amount of work confronting it. Up to a week ago but nineteen lawa had been enacted. This week only four more have been added to the statute books. While, aa a matter of fact, the fewer laws passed Is often the belter, yet something must be done with the 300 or more that are awaiting action in the two houses. With only nine more days of the legislative session it Is difficult Indeed to figure out how this work Is to be wound up ln proper shape. The sifting committee in the aen ate baa already begun wielding Ita axe and Church of Santa Maria Novella a figure that appears to him lnconteatably to be that of Dante. Thla portrait differs from th tra ditional description of the poet, except for the cap. The frescoea are by th Orcagna brothers, Andrea and Bernardo. A Andrea was born after Dante died it la aupposed that the fig. ore must have been painted by Bernardo. Several ao-called portraits of Dante exist, auch aa De La Crolx'a, Sheffera, etc., but they are rather figments of the poet, paint- era' Imagination, than likenesses.

Having disposed of the revenue bill and the salaries appropriations bill, the house will Monday take up tbe next appropria tion bill on the docket. There are yet three to act on, the general appropriations, deficiency and claims bills. At the rate thinga have been moving It will Just about require the greater part of next week to dispose of these measures unless some night work la done. Three apportionment bills are among the huge pile yet to be acted on. Two of these provide for Judicial redisricting and one for legislative re apportionment. There Is little thought that either of the first two will ever get further than they are now, but It Is believed the McAllister legislative reapportionment measure possibly may get through. Legis lation of this character la generally con ceded o be necessary, but of course there are various minor cnanges wnicu certain members would like to make In the bill. Appropriation for Kspoalllon. The legislature has not yet acted on tbe bill calling for a $75,000 appropriation tor tbe St. Louis world's fair, nor Is it likely to recommend that amount. Thla la a poor time for any appropriation bill to come up to thla legislature and the chances are not altogether assuring that any outlay will be made for this purpose. Two representa tives of the St. Louis fair, W. 11. Moore of Et. Louis and Colonel Harvey P. Salmon of Clinton, Mo., In company wlih W. J. Bryan, who presented them, called on Governor Mickey today and urged him to use bis in fluence with tbe leg's ature to muke an ap propriation. The governor told them that Inhere was a bill pending providing for 475,- 000 and that he waa of tbe opinion that probably the legislature would grant $50,000, but doubted If tbe bill would gc. through in its original form. The gentlemen thought $00,000 would not be sufficient, but did hot
