At this .point . the Omaha Athletic club
worked the old V with great success , and
rondo good runs around both ends. When

Special to TUB BiK. ! | The pivot 0
European politics Is still the vntlfcun. Tin
moderate attitude of the pope jn thajiiattc
of the French bishops has attracted' mud
attention. Count Knlnokj's I'omark to tin
Hungarian ctoputlas thnt the Hainan questioi
wns reopened has also not escaped notice
and slnco yesterday's sitting of the Itallat
chamber It Is impossible to doubt that tin
Koman question is indeed once moro on thi
tapis.
It is wall known that the trlplo alliance Ti

There nro differences , notably between Ital ]
and Austria. Leo Kill. , who is a grea
diplomat , takes advantage of these mlsun
dcrstandlngti to wring concessions ot fern
from Italy whllo ho makes' concessions o
fact to Austria.
Thu papal nuncio In Paris has done his bos
lately to arouse M. Ulbot ton sousooftbi
temperate bearing of the pope with regard ti
the bishops , nnd to convince the Frenct
minister of foreign affairs that this bonriUf
was nil the moro deserving of ncknowlodg
tnont , If It was romomborcd that the fobs o
Franco wcro making advances to the Vatican
In support of this ho mentioned the speech o
Count Knlnoky. The French government
has not boon much affected by these appeals ,
It remains cold and will stick to the policy II
has adopted.
But there Is reason to expect moro excited
notion on tbo part of Italy , who loses hoi
head whenever the Vatican Is mentioned.
There exists In Italy n strong party whiel
thinks the law of guarantees that was drawi :
up In 1S70 Is useless. The party would take
advantage ot the first European complication
to tearup the laws and recapture Homo.
Where Franco Is Found.
For two days past the diplomatic world
has been much occupied by papal questions ,
The pope and his adversaries move slowly ,
but the moro steadily. It must bo mentioned
too that In foreign affairs Franco , ivho has

church , " Is compelled to sldo with the
Vatican. She cannot afford to act aa 11
Gnmbottn's famous cry , "Lo cloricnlismc

ho fancied that ho will wring nnj
concessions from Franco in purely home
questions. Publio opinion hero Is opposed
to nny such thing. Any weakness on the
part of the covernment might load to n sep
aration of church and state , and who could
sav whether the cause of religion would gain

LONDON" , Deo. 4. Developments in the Rus
sell case Wednesday whetted appetites of
the scandal lovers of London and the court
room was crowded again today ;
Tbo proceedings today were enlivened by a
tilt between counsel in regard to the Roberts
incident. During the argument the presiding
Justice said he Intended to get at the root of
this matter. Ho declared it ought to have
been put Into definite shape as a criminal
charge or a charge of gross Indecency.
The earl's re-direct examination was re
sumed this morning. Ho said until the Wil
liams' girl incident was brought out in court
the story of his connection with her was not ,
known nt Toddlngton , where she lived , 'ox-
: opt by members of her family , She Is still
living nt Teddington and no public reproach
had nttachcd to her. This closed the ami's
testimony.
Shophard , the carl's footman , testified ho
iiovcr saw countess crying. Tno earl hud
always treated her as a gentleman should
treat his wife.
Sir Chnrlos Kussoll then summed up for
the defense. Ho said the case should never
have been Drought into court , supported , us
It was , by so many oases of grossly untrue
Bvidonco.
Sir Kdward Clarke's address was charac *
tomed by the great omphasU ho Inid upon
the tellini ; points in the evidence for pott-
llonur. Ho declared , however , the evidence
submitted would have no effect upon the
raputntion of Prof. Roberts. The object of
Counters Russell in falling the action was
not to obtain money. Her chief reason was
she wished to relieve herself of the obliga
tion of living with a man whoso treatment
Had led to their separation. Referring to
ontrles In the earl's diary , Sir Kdward , said
they worj in favor of the countess. The earl
admitted himself to bo in the wrong. Sir
Ed ward said ho'was glad that Earl Russell
iind an npportunlty to deny the imputations.
L'onnccting him in a disgraceful way with
Prof. Roberts. It had been mndo
lulto clear by the evidence of himself
uid Prof. Roberts that there was no
ground for the suggestion of improper ro-
atlons liotweon thorn. Sir Edward main-
talncd Sir Charles Russell was. responsible
for bringing the story out. The countess had
icslrod it not to bo mentioned. It was only
.vlion . she wns pressed by questions put to
ior by Sir Charles Russell , on her cross ox-
unlnntlon , that she connected curtain iu-
. Idonts with stories she had hoard j'rom
notnbors of the can's family and wronglv

Justice Butt then summcd , upthe evidence ,

ic did not agree with Sir Charles Russell ,
bat the suit was only' Instituted , wlth , tbn

vas then given to the Jury , who returned a

PE.VSIONS WHO AUR KNTITUIO.
Soldiers All soldiers of the United State :
who Incurred disability of n permanent ua
turo , whether wound , Injury or disease , whll *
in the service or line of duty , are entitled to i
potulon at rates vnrylng from ? 1 10 J7- ' poi
month , according to the tmtura and severity
of the disability.
ADDITIONAL.
Soldiers who draw a pension for ono 01
moro disabilities , nnn are nt the same time
suffering from other disabilities Incurred iu
the sorvlco nnd line of duty , may obtain ad
dittonal pension iherofor.
UNor.n or.n raw.
Soldiers pensioned at less than S0 : ! pot
month , nnd wholly disabled for the perform
ance of manual labor by reason ol
disability on nccount of which they
nro pensioned , are o titled to Increase
of pension to that amount per month , and if
the disability is such that they require the
regular aid nnd attendance of nnother per
son , they may obtain pension nt the rate ot
$7:2 : per month.
Any pensioner under the old law , whoso
disability has increased since date of Ihe
issue of his last pension certificate , may oh
tain an increase of pension proportionate lethe
the increase ot his disability.
ADDITIONAL NEW LAW.
Soldiers pensioned nt loss than SI3 per
mouth for disability incurred in the sorvlco ,
who nro also suffering from other disability
of any nature , not duo to viuloui habits , may
obtain additional pension under the now
nw. Tbis pension commences from tbo
date of filing the claim and cannot exceed $12
per month. The now law is of special ad
vantage to this class of pensioners , for the
reason that if they have a disability other
tnnn that for which ihoy are pensioned , Ihoy
may obtain additional relief from date of fil
ing claim , nnd if , in the future , tbo disability
for which they were origfnnlly pensioned
under tbo old law increases lo such an oxlont
ns lo entitle them to moro than 512 per
month , they may surrender their penMen
under the now law and resume the pension
under the old law at such increased rate us
may bo proportionate to the degree of disability -
ability nt that time.
Pensioners at less than S12 per month , de
siring increase of pension , will find it to their
advantage to apply under both the old and
now law , for the reason that any Increase up
to $13 per month will dale from the day the
claim Is filed In the pension burona. whereas
n claim for increase under the old law , will
secure increased pension duty from t.ho date
of examination , which , on account of the
work in the pension bureau being very much
dolnyod.is usually sorno months af lor iho daio
of filing the claim.
INCItBASIS OF NGW LAV PENSION.
Any Invalid pensioner under the now law
receiving loss than $12 per month may obtain
nn increase of pension whenever the disabil
ity on nccount of which ho Is pensioned in
creases In severity ton material extent , or ho
may procure additional pension uu to $12 per
montn on account of any now or cddliionnl
disability which ho has incurred since hU

sion will commence from date of filing the
claim , and the rale of pension is from $1) lo
$12 per inontu , according lo Iho degree of dis
ability for iho performance of manual labor.
Title to tbo pension Is solely dependent
upon a service of ninety days , an honorable
discharge nnd iho present existence of a
disability , physical or mental , not duo to
vicious habits , which causes a partial inabil
ity to perform manual labor us a means of live
lihood , equal to iho degree of dlBabillly re

doofi not matter what Iho disability Is , if not
duo to vicious habits , whether wound , Injury
or disease , nor U the time nnd place of iho
origin or inourrenco of the same in nny way
material.
Title to pension under this law is no way
dependent upon the soldier's pecuniary oir-
JUmalnncos. The fact that hois nblo to per
form skilled or professional labor to snch an
extent us lo enable him lo earn n comfort
able support , or thu fact that ho has an In
come sufilolont for his support , has no bear-
tig upon his tltlo lo pension uudor this law
