KOME, July 1 Special.) A remarkable document haa Juat appeared here la the form of an "open letter" addressed to Tlua X by a group of priests. The letter which la written In Italian Is not signed, but five blank spaces at the end Indicate the num ber of authors. It is a direct reply to the papal allocution delivered by Plus X when conferring the cardinal's hat on those re cently promoted to the purple. On that occasion the, pope called upon the bishops to co-operate with him In driving- out those who were "sowers of tares, apostles of monstrous heresies and rebela who dreamed of the re.iewal of dogma by a return of the church and of theology." The writers of the open letter felt themselves aimed at In this call to arm and have not hesitated to reply with Incisive vigor which Is re garded as unusual to say the least In members of the churoh to Its spiritual head. However, they begin by reminding the pope of the burden of his first encyclical, In which he Invited the co-operation of all men of good will In the Christian restora tion of society. It la because believing In the sincerity and the clear Intelligence of that call they set themselves to employ the only means which could give It effect, that fulminatlons are now launched against them by the- authority they thought they were obeying. Praa-ram Was PToble One. "Tour program. Holy Father, of restor ing all things in Christ was a noble one. But remember that pious wishes and the holiest intentions are not enough to give effect to It, and that the way that you have chosen leads In an opposite di rection. Tou have evinced as It were a. horror of science and democracy which we had a,lmed at leading baok into the church. Tou have, closed the gates against them. - "Tet science and democracy are the liv ing forces of the time. They are the forooa which ' the churoh must understand and not ony conduct but Inspire if she would fulfil) her mission. And It Is beoaus she ' has not tried to understand them that she Is losing her kqld ucou' the people.. Mot only have men withdrawn from the church, but she herself has ootne to be. regarded as an obscurantist parasite and the gospel and Christianity to be treated as expres sions of a civilisation which la obsolete be cause It Is unable to respond to the Ideals of liberty, Justice and knowledge which are stirring the masses. This feeling has filtered down from the university to the workshop, from the great city population to the Inhabitants of the country dlstrtot. And even for the minority which haa le malned faithful to the church Christianity Is rather the mere cold observanoe of tra ditional formulas and preoepts than the directing force of their life. "gome are already announcing the death of Chrtatlnanlty. Others are bemoaning Ita miserable oondltlon. The writers are not of their number. They believe that Chris tianity Is passing through one of those crises which an organism haa sometimes to endure. In which It purtflea Itself ef ele ments hetrogeneoua and hostile to nature and from which ft emerges) to a more vigor ous life. It was In this belief that in response to the caU of the pope they had set themselves, to the work of renewal. But such a task was not lightly to be undertaken. There was necessary for Ita accomplishment a frank recognition of the causes of the crisis. It will not do to adopt the usual clerical explanation that the masses reject religion because of the duties It Imposes upon them,- or of the rigorous character of Its moral code, or even be cause of the Intellectual difficulty of ac cepting Its dogmas. Reasons Faadamental. "The real reasons are more fundamental. They are that the church has adopted an attitude towards democracy and science which haa made her Justly suspected by beth these forces. In France the church has obstinately alUed Itself with the re asins of monarchlal and arttstocratlo priv flese In order to hamper, and If possible, te tia throw the republic. In Italy it oon gtdtently resisted the aspirations of the people towards national unity, and since their fulfillment has withdrawn Into a self rent ered silence and inaction. If It is to conciliate and Inspire the democracy It must bring itself in-line with Its ideals. It must not only abwndon Us alliance with the shrunken remains of privilege among democratic peoples, but also transform and purify the form of Its own government so tenaciously monarchlal and absolute, aban don ar alleviate Its ancient coercive meth ods, restore a measure of provincial au tonomy among Its bishops, recognise more freely the religious action of the laity, and secure more equitable teats In the selection of Its central executive body while pro viding for a fuller representation of for eign nations upon that body. "As for science the church has altogether failed to appreciate the revolution whkll has been wrought In oar conception, both of the nature of truth and of the methods necessary to Ita establishment The pro gress of the positive and experimental sciences haa demonstrated the Insufficiency of every metaphysical explanation ef the antveree. The historical and psychological Methods "of establishing truth, partial as they are and must be, have superseded elaborate and , logically consistent deduc tions from a reality antecedently given la certain metaphysical abstractions.''

REBELLIONS CAUSE OF CONFLICT Nations Often Embroiled in War Through These Causes. EUROPE'S COMPLICATED POJ' Thrones of Many Coaatrler Tie af Marriage Vmtr Oeaias ta Aeo Alllan THE HAGUE; July -pecial.) The hypocrisy of The Hague iutt be apparent to 'any student of international politics who looks beneath the surface of things. Idealists Ilk Andrew Carnegie who found temples of peace undoubtedly do have some faith in the good time coming when the battle flags of the world are furled at a parliament of nations, but It will not soon be forgotten by more practical men that the first peace conference was suggested by the Russian csar and that he has had more trouble since the suggestion of the conference than his ancestors before him. From the time he first broached the peace conference down to the present he appears to have had the great lesson that "inter national law Is only brute force" brought home to his attention In a thousand ways, foreign as well as domestic. He hss been compelled to confront what was probably the greatest war since the American civil war In the - extent of It operation cer tainly greater than the Franco-German war of 1870, and he has had one continual round of turmoil from one end of hla dominions ever since he mentioned the peace conference a number of years ago. Rebellions and Revolotloas. It la - of cours Impossible within the limits of a modern press dispatch to trace all the troubles In connection with the various throne of Europe, but the Interest ing question Is raised a question of far greater Import than the question of arma ment or disarmament the 'question of how wars are really- to - be prevented In the future unless the various nations club together to suppress rebellions and revolu tions. And If so the question Is naturally suggested whether this would mean the greatest good for the greatest number the world over. Of course those most Inter ested in these international Reace con ference almost always declare that It is not the Intent of the promoters of these peace parliaments to Interfere with domes- tie affairs. But these men forget how the thrones of Europe are locked and Inter laced like Intermarriage they forget the thousand and one racial, religious and family reasons which nr. likely to cause one ruling family to Interfere In the event of trouble tn an adjoining state.' Con tinental Europe may best be described as a field of cattle. And when the cattle commence with the hooking It is difficult to even venture a gues as to where the hooking will stop. ' Leaving out of the question the fact that the kaiser for Instance oppose - disarma ment aa much on account of the social ists aa because of the fact that he Is prac tically aandwlched In between Russia, Austria, Italy and France It la curious to note what a revival there la Just now of the activity of pretenders to certain thronea. And all of these things suggest serious problems far beyond the reach of The Hague. For Instance Dora Miguel of Biigansa has allowed himself to be Inter viewed and haa Intimated that he would not be disinclined to direct the destinies of Portugal; a meeting of 1,500 Carlist has Just been held at Madrid to consider the Interests of the, Spanish pretender, Count von Meyrenberg, who has put for ward a claim to the throne of Luxemburg, while the partisans of Comte d'Eu both in Franc and South America are actively agitating the restoration of the empire of Brasil. Origin ef Great Conflicts. These are only a few of the many things which might upset the. most carefully laid plans for any peace parliament ever held. For while It might be very pretty tn the ory to say that one nation need not Inter fere with another in the event of domestic strife the history of the world shows that most of the great conflicts between na tions have had their origin in Just these things. In Portugal for Instance the rumor of a. domestic crisis may have been exagger ated, but there la trouble enough to aatlsfy any person fond of Intrigue and trouble. It Is true Senhor Joao Franco, the pre mier, has against him the majority of the peers, a strong minority of the Cor tea, the council of state and the republicans. He has cut a Gordlan knot by dissolving the chamber and has been governing the coun try In a fashion that suspiciously resembles a dictatorship. All this would appear dreadful In a constitutional state, but in Latin oountiies such trifle are taken 'for granted and do not trouble the party in power very much. The opposition usually shrieks treason until It gets Into power and then It proceeds to do the same as the others-o on to the end of the chapter after the fashion of th end loss chain. Senhor Franco, however, haa taken ran to put himself technically In th right so tar as th constitution la concerned.

"No man who was not guilty of a crime ought to be kept In prison and a failure to pay a debt was not a crime. If a man were guilty of the fraud of not paying a debt which he was able to pay he ought to be proceeded against for fraud; but a man ought not to be snnt to prison slmrly for his failure to pay a debt which the court thought he was able to pay There could be no doubt that under the . new prison rules persons In prison had to be reduced to the status of criminals; and therefore a most retrograde step la the treatment of prisoners had been taken under an act which was passed for the purpose of ameliorating the condition of the prisoners. WILL TUNNEL THE STRAITS American Company Haa Concession to Build Railway Connecting: with Raaslan Continent. ST. PETERSBURG, July . (Special.) The company having the concession for the construction of a railway from the station at Kansk, Siberia, to Behrlng Straits and the construction of a sub marine tunnel under the straits to the American continent, the resolution of the Council of Ministers for which has Just been ratified by the ciar Is an American corporation. It was organized In New Jersey last October for the purpose of constructing this railway. It is announced that the railway will be S.760 miles long, exclusive of 8,000 miles for proposed branches. The actual tunnel under Behrlng Straits .from Northeast Cape to Cook's Inlet In Alaska would be thirty-eight miles In length. The total cost of the project Is estimated at about tCOO.OOO.ooa The scheme was originally put forward by M. Ixlcq de Lobel on behalf of an Ameri can syndicate, with which a man named rAddrlcka Is said to be connected. Doubts are expressed here In view of the fact that the British government and people op Dosed so bitterly the recent agitation for k tunnel under th channel between Franc and England a to whether the American people would ever consent to the tunnel t' Alaska. Th tunnel under . the -channel from France to -England last spring failed to meet with popular approval because the military strategists of England and France were opposed to It though it was regarded at the time -as a project more feasible ' from th point of view of . the engineer and the financier than the tunnel now proposed under Behrlng Strait. WANT CROSS, NOT CRESCENT Red Cross Society Does Not Listen ta Suggestion of Mehaname dan Officer. LONDON. July fc (Special.) A curious point of religious susceptibility was raised at the final sitting of the' International Red Cross conference In this city when Besstm Omar Pasha urged that the crescent should be substituted for th cross In Mohamme dan countries. He declared that although during their last war the Turks were grateful for the organisation, they were opposed to its em blem, which was the symbol of a religion opposed to their own. He urged that the susceptibilities of dying - Mohammedans ought to be respected and the work of or ganization among them should be identified by the red crescent and not with the red cross. M. Ador explained that the cross waa th sole symbol adopted by the Geneva convention; that It was a fundamental matter and that they could not modify the emblem to meet a special case. The pasha declared that he was there In no fanatical spirit, but he still urged that while in other countries the red cross, might be adhered to, not as a religious symbol, but as a humanitarian Institution, the red crescent should be substituted In Turkey. The feel ing of the conference was against th sug gestion of the pasha and the matter waa dropped. ASIATIC MONROE DOCTRINE New Jaaaaese-Freaeh Agreement Practically Amonnta to This In Far East.

MANY MORE OFFICERS NEEDED Saggeetloa aa ta Remedy that May Be Applied by Con areas Alone and Appears ta B Part af Wisdom. Brigadier eGneral J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff of the United States army, was In Omaha Saturday on a tour of Inspection of the military departments of the west, and spent several hours at Department of the Missouri headquarters. General Boli Is probably the foremost mllltaryauthorlty In the country today, and, occupying tho prominent position he does, anything that he might aay upon the status of the United States army of today Is of the most Importsnt Interest. General Bell on Saturday afternoon, gave his views on the general army situation in great fullness. He said: "There seems to be some misapprehension In the newspaper world as to the real character of some remarks made by me In addressing a recent graduating class at Fort Leavenworth. I have never said there was something radically wrong with the army. That Is not true, and no man would say it who has regard for the truth. The pay of officers and soldiers was fixed by congress about forty years ago. Ex cept in a few Isolated and unimportant cases, it has not been Increased since. Tho expense of living, as every one knows, has very materially increased and both officers and men, especially those who are mar ried, find considerable difficulty meeting their obligations at times. Ordinary ex penses of living, which affect all classes of society as well as military men, have not only greatly Increased, but changed condition In military service since the Spanish-American war Impose additional expense upon ocers and soldiers. Some Chanareel Condition. They no sooner get themselves well set tled at some station before they are likely to be called upon to move somewhere else, rrior to the Spanish-American war the staff departments were permanent. .Now they are constituted by detail from the army at large, and as there, are a great many of these details to be made, and must be changed every four year, officers are liable to much more frequent change of station On thl account. "Prior to the Spanish-American war, the entire army was nerving In the continental limits of the United States. Now very considerable portion of It Is serving In the Philippine Islands, China, Cuba, Porto Rico, In the Hawaiian Islands, Panama and Alaska. It Is very expensive living In some of these places, but the main ex pense Is Involved In getting there and beck. The government transports an officer free and also a certain allowance of pounds of baggage, but the allowance seldom equals the number of pounds possessed by the officer. He must pay the cost of transport ing the surplus. The government furnishes no transportation except on army trans ports for the families of officers or soldiers. These expenses must be paid by the Indi vidual. It is the expense Incident to stern ally packing up and moving and settling again which keeps the noses of officers and soldiers on the grindstone. When they ob serve that the compensation of nearly everybody else, either In or out of the pub lic service haa been Influenced for the bet ter by the great prosperity of the country, they cannot but feel under the circum stances that . there are other callings In which they could earn a larger recompense for the same amount of work than In the army, A sound and able bodied boy, who can earn S3 per day In the harvest field, naturally does not Jump at the chance of earning SIS a month In the army, notwith standing there are many advantages fci addition to this small amount of money, which a country boy would enjoy during the three years of service in the army. Extra Work; for Army Men. Numerous laws of congress have bon passed requiring the detail of army officers for four years at a time away from their regiments. For example, tho law requires the detailing of such officers to teach mil itary science and tactics In agricultural and mechanical colleges and In military schools situated In every state of the Union, They are detailed with the militia of the several states to asalst In their Instruction. They are detailed on duty away from their command In connection with the govern ment of the Philippine Islands, Cuba, Porto Rico, Panama and Alaska. There are numerous other duties whlc harmy officers are detailed to perform away from their regiments which are not of a strictly military character, but with their peculiar training renders them especially qualified to perform. In fact, they have proved themselves so valuable and reliable in such a variety of administrative work that a custom has been steadily growing of ask ing th eWar department for an officer every time any department of the government needs a well qualified man, but has no appropriation available to hire one. An army officer can be detailed without any extra cost to the government, as his pay goes on all the time. Other Cans for Detachment. "In addition to the above causes for the detachment of officers from their com mands, we must keep large number de tached all the tlrae for purely military reasons. For Instance, It haa become so difficult to get sufficient recruits for the army that four or fire tlmea as many recruiting office ar nuw conaatntly main tained on recruiting dufy than there were prior to the Spanish-American war, and notwithstanding this fact he army Is sev eral thousand men short f It authorised allowance, and probably - will remain so as long as the present prosperity con tinue.

Charles H. Moyer, the accused president of the Western Federation of Miners, will be called as a witness on Monday, next. He will be followed by William D. Haywood, the defendant. Judge Fremont Wood has asked counsel on 'both sides to submit their requests for- Instruc tions to the Jury.

Judge Wood said that he hoped the Interval would be utilised by counsel In preparations that would prevent further delay and bring the case to aa speedy a close as possible. It Is now expected that the rebuttal evi dence In behalf of the state will commence on Wednesday, and possibly on Tuesday, much depending on the extent of the cross examination of Moyer and Haywood. Coun sel for the defense and prosecution, after the adjournment this afternoon, were will ing to admit the possibility of a verdict or disagreement tn two weeks. Some uneasiness on the part of the Jury men, as a result of their long confinement, developed this afternoon. Just before the adjournment of court. Juror 8. F. Russell, who occupied seat No. 11, turned to the bench and asked If the Jury would be al lowed to exercise during the two days adjournment. He complained that some of the Jury were disinclined to taking walks and that for this reason the other Jurymen were unable to take exercise to which they were accustomed and without which there was danger of sickness. O. V. Sebern, the sixth Juryman, ad dressed the J ud go In support of this state ment and asked that the Jury be allowed to take exercise according to their In clinations. Judge Wood and counsel for both sides agreed to arrange anything within the law for the Improvement of conditions. A. P. Bums complained that the bailiffs In charge of the Jury were too strict and that a Juryman who exceeded some trivial rule was summarily called to order. Juror J. A. Robertson, the good humored Scotch man occupying the ninth chair, defended the bailiffs and said laughingly: "Well, I don't know about being too strict. I know I never had a better time In my life." The announcement was received with roar of merriment and Judge Wood, who seldom Join In any demonstration, leaned back In hla chair and laughed heartily. SPOKANE OPENS UP FIGHT Renew Complaint that Portland Receives Lower Rate from Kaatem Shipping; Points. WASHINGTON, July 1 Among' the twenty-one petitions filed with the Inter state Commerce commission today were three of the city of Spokane, Wash., against the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company, the Northern Faolflc Railway company and the Great Northern railway setting out substantially th aame state of facts. In the construction of Us system of waterworks, the city of Spokan used an Immense amount of steel and rivet which had to be shipped from Pittsburg, Pa., to Spokane. It la alleged In th complaints that the defendant railroads charged more for the shipment of the material from Pittsburg to Spokane than their tariff ratea Indicated they would have charged on ship ments of the same material from Pitts burg to Portland, Ore., although Spokane la 800 miles nearer to Pittsburg than It Is to Portland. Th city demands reparation from the Oregon Railroad and Navigation company tn the sum of S4.S19 with $750 at torneys' fees and from the Great Northern railway, $12,813 reparation and $1,300 attornoy fees.
