LINCOLN , Sept. 8 , ( Special to The I3ee. ) The annual Influx ot sight seers lias begun to flow Into the city , and today the streets are alive with country visitors. Almost every street corner has Its fakir or fruit vendor with a Haunting banner by day and a flaring light by night. All restrictions have been taken ofl by the mayor In the matter of signs , and everybody who has a meal for 1t > cents or a suit ot clothing at half price has suspended in front of his place of bus iness a banner proclaiming the fact in K rgcously colored letters. All sorts of bus iness men have been counting on the week and have made preparations accordingly with gaily decorated windows and goods marked down to half prle. As special attractions the resorts nf the city have secured balloon men , high divers , rope walkers and all sorts of mountebanks. The theaters also are prepared for the crowd which may or may not materialize with the bent attractions obtainable. The Funke , which has been so decorated and beautified ns to be almost unrecognizable , will on Wcdncsdlay evening have its grand opsn- ing , with Roland Reed In the "Woman Hater" us the drawing card , to bo followed the rest of the week by some other attrac tions.

At the fair grounds order Is rapidly grow ing out ol chaos , and when the fair really opens for the spectators on Monday there will be ns fine n display of the resources ot the state as one would wish to see. The list of entries is far In excess of that of any previous year. In Agricultural hall , where the various counties of the elate will show just how bad the drouth has been , there Is not an Inch ol unoccupied space and the exhibitors are- busy placing the exhibits In the most attractive form. An army ot the usual fair followers , popcorn and lemonade venders , refreshment stand employes and the like , Is at work erecting thu booths where they expect to reap n fortune , and the clattet and bustle and contusion Is simply bewilder ing. The art hall this year will undoubtedly far surpass In attractiveness Its pppcarance in any previous year and tlio bulk of the o\ hlbtts are the work of Lincoln ladles , at though almost every county In the state has done Its share. Only aery few booths arc left In the live stock department and applications are being received for theso. COMMERCIAL CLUH'S NEW QUARTERS. The new building of the Lincoln Commer cial club Is approaching completion and the members are congratulating themselves that when It Is opened they will have the pleas ure of showing to visitors one of the hand somest and most completely errulpped com mercial club houses Hn the west. The buildIng - Ing Is located about half a block cast of the Capital hotel and could hardly have been better designed for a club house if It had been built for the purpose. It has been handsomely decorated and provided with r library , reading room , billiard room and a ) sorts of offices and private apartments. It U expected that the new house will be ready for opening during the week ot the fair , At the last meeting of the committee the Question of preparing some definite nnd re sponslble replies to some ot the stuff now appearing In the eastern papers about drouth-stricken Nebraska was taken up and a committee was appointed to look up the matter , with Chancellor Can field as th chairman of the committee.

From the beginning of his con noctlon with the university lie had recognl/c the desirability ot enlarging the work In music , as well aa In all other departments , The establishment of a complete school o music In connection with the- State unlver slty , he felt , had a far reaching Import Heretofore all those who had desired extendei study along musical lines had been oblige to go farther east. The expenses ot sue work had been great ami many student had hesitated because of the distance between themselves and their homes. The unlverslt ; Is entitled to a college of fine arts by th statutes ot the state. As soon as the llbrar building Is completed the art department wll bo transferred there and on the third flooi will have rooms and equipments more com , plete than these ot any other school in th west. The expansion ot the department o music into o full school must necessarll ; keep pace with this movement In art , I order that the two together may form the college mentioned. The management of the fr present conservatory Is In the hands of Prof. Klmball , who has been appointed director by the regentH. The building and Its equip ment , which on October 1 will represent an expenditure of at least $30,000 , is the private venture of the director. * DAYLIGHT ROBOERY.

TIIEIR MISSION A FAILURE fruitless Errand of the Hastlugs Committco to Eclegata Satolli , REMEDY SUGGESTED BY A CLERGYMAN I.-itrM Currcspotulcncn llolureu the Com * | > liil liiK I'rlenuol tlio Lincoln Dlocusa mill the Ilplrfititii-\\lml Arch * hi'tiop llomicv y Upper ted. The committee appointed by the Catholic congregation of lias tinge. Neb. , to present a protest to Mgr. Satolll against the re moval of Hev. J. E. English from that parish to David City , has returned from Washington. Nothing was accomplished by the trip. As already noted In tha dispatches , the committee and Mr. J. V. English of this city called on the delegate ana made written and oral protests against the removal , as serting that the order of Ills hop Bonacum was a pleco of spltework. The condition of the parish of Hastings , Its growth , pros perity and the unity of the members , were detailed , and the troubles oC the dloccsu Incidentally reviewed. The- delegate replied that he was powerless to render assistance or Interpose In the matter. The bishop , ho said , had unquestioned power , under the rules of the Baltimore council , to remove a priest at will , nnd he Is not obliged to gho reasons therefor. He Is supposed to act prudently and for the best Interests of religion. The Baltimore rules were the laws of the church lit this country , the delegate said , and his duty was to see that they were obeyed. The delegate Informed Mr , English that the charges , so called , against rather Eng lish , V.CTO of a general nature and re ferred solely to his management ot temporal matters. A copy of them was not obtained , but the bishop is to be instructed to furnish Father English a copy There Is to bo no trial , notwithstanding reports ( o the con trary. The matter Is practically settled , un less Father English contends that his now mission docs not afford n living , and In that event the burden o proof rests with him. AN EYE-OPENER. The priests of the Lincoln diocese , par ticularly those who attached their auto graphs to the charges against Bishop lioifa- cnni. are given what might bo called an eye-opener by the failure of the Hastings mission to Washington. It was hoped the delegate would Interpose his authority and piotect them from the wrath ot the bishop But , as the delegate professes to have no power In the premises , they nlll be obliged to take whatever medicine the- bishop may prescribe and compound Another Important fact was developed by the Interview. When Mgr. Satolll was ap pointed delegate to the United States , his coming was hailed as the beginning of the end of the missionary system It was generally ally regarded as the preliminary step toward the institution ot canon law , which provides a comprehensive system for the detonnlna tlon ot ecclesiastical litigation. Now , the del eeato declares he is not here Institute new laws , but to Interpret the laws as ho finds them. "These laws , " said a. clergyman of the Lincoln diocese , "were drafted by the bishops , and were so drawn that they might drive through them when necesasry , or lg' nore them entirely. The truth of this state' ment is shown Toy the fact that the laws , such as they are , were promulgated only last week In the diocese of St. Louis. " VIEWS OP A PRIEST. In response to the question , "What Is the remedy ? " the clergjman above quoted said. "I will review , brlelly , what Is necessary abcwe-nTl for the success of the church In our country , and our troubles Invite a oare ful consideration of such necessity : FUrst This Is no longer a missionary country. The church Is grand In this coun try. Wo pay about two-thirds 01 the Peter's pence the money given for the support of the universal church Hence we are entitled to canon law. Most of the bishops are against this , as are the In ferior priests , who would 1me to stand ex amination for gosd parishes nnd bishoprics (2) ( ) Separation of church and stale. No concordats ; no conflicts. (3) ( ) The bishops should bo nominated by the priests. Tcr fourteen .centuries such was the case. I Is remarkable that the eleven apostles die not choose the successor of Judas , but the. 120 disciples. When. Ambrose wpnt to Milan to address the Arlans and Catholics about the choice of a bishop , a child cried out , 'Moke Ambrose bishop. ' The people caught the cry and called for him , though he was not baptized , but only a catechumen He became n great doctor of the church During late centuries the policy of the churcl has been to permit governments to suggea or nominate candidates for the episcopacy But this Is a government of the people , and priests are entitled to an effective voice In the selection of their superiors.

Fitzgerald : In reply to your letter of the 27th of May last , I state the following : t. From the- express canon law of the council of Lateral ! Iv , c , 8 , it Is clear that uccusatlons must not easily be admitted against prelates , but an extra Judicial In- quliltlon was appointed to Bee that your complaints were well founded. 2. The mode of action of Ilev. Corbett must be rejected under every respect ; the reasons alleged by you for defending him are false and are repugnant to canon law. 3. The letters brought forward , which are said to have been directed by me , to certain priests who have appealed , and which are brought forward to support the resistance ot Corbett to his bishop , should be shown to mo , or a copy of them. 1 wish to call your attention to other matters : 1. That your own advocate asked you often , and walled a long time , that you might show him the arguments for proving each of the accusations , and you never showed them. Z. I myself when I was In Omaha a year ago , found you unable to prove those ac- cueatlons , about which I began to question you. 3 , From mat\y documents collected by the most reverend archbishop of Dubuque , tha greater and the tetter part of the clergy and laity reprobate your action and giro testimony in favor oC thebishop. . It Is now tima tor this very scandalous business to end , which has been n crave Injury to the church nnd diocese. Your reverences , most devoted In X , X. P.

Your excellency came to Omaha nnd entertained the charges against Dlahop lion- acum , you did not carry on an extra Judicial Inquisition , as you promised to do In duo time. 2. Rev. Corbett was not being tried for canonical delinquencies , therefore It was un necessary to allege reasons far defending him , nnd hence your excellency IB In error. 3. The "alleged Utter" WAS written to Tather Crowley In August , 1S92 , In which It stated that the apostolic delegate "would lm\o sustained his cause If he had remained In his parish , but , as he had loft UU parish , he could not hel | him" Your excellency never asked for n copy of this letter. The paid letter was forced Into evidence by lllshop IJonacum In the civil court In Ne- brasku City June 13 , 1S9I. Bishop IJonacum produced two letters from your excellency , contrary to the said letter , which caused the judge to remark : "This Satolll l an extra ordinary man : he Is trying to ride two horses going In opposite directions at the name time ; he should have put an end to this matter In Omaha last ) ear. " Decatero , etc. : 1. Our advocate wrote homo and slid"It would have been necessary for me to go to Nebraska and personally gather the evidence nnd conduct the case. This I cannot da at present ; besides , It would cost \ha \ priests n great deal of money. The cast ? Is one of unusual magnitude nnd will require an un usual amount of attention. Und < r all these circumstances I thlnlc you will see that I could not continue the practical management of your rase. " 2. Yet your excellency stated at that time to us that the only remedy ( or the dloccso of Lincoln was the removal of Bishop Uona- cum , and you would advise the holy father .o that effect. 3. Archbishop Hcnncssy was an unwilling nnd partial Investigator , ns Is provJ by your better to Dr. Smith of December 1 , 1893 , In ivhlch you stated > on liad ordered htm ( lllshop Hennessy ) to apply his authority nnd solici tude to the Lincoln difficulties , "and demand of the archbishop the requisite Investiga tion. " Yet after this ho did not come to Lincoln until May , six months after this order was given. And when h ? did come he did not see "majorem ot mellorcm partem elerl et clvlum " Certe , ct Excellencla Vestra cst , tcrmlnum poncre I have the honor to b * your excellency's most humble servant , D.

"It Is upon what may bo termed the ocean differential that the chief difficulty In mak ing a now transcontinental agreement rest * at present , " Bald General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific , who returned from Chicago yesterday. 'Tho ' North Pacific coast lines continue to demand higher differentials than scorns right and proper to grant , and so divergent are tu views of representatives of roads other than the North Pacific that the only scnslblo thing to do was to appoint a committee to formu late an agreement which might stand scma show ot being accepted. The Union Pacific's position Is well known. It the other roads can agree we will not throw a single thing In the way of their reaching a satisfactory conclusion. Wo will await the action ot the committee and then It the other lines caa agree to accept th report the Union Fnclfla will join In the general Jubilee. Hall dlf- ferentlila have hardly been discussed yet. I am , however. Inclined to the opinloirthnt tha Canadian Pacific will come In on almost anjr proposition after the ocean differentials ars settled. If the Canadian Pacific cannot get 7 per cent It would possibly tnko 5 per center or even 4 per cent. So far ns the Canadian Pacific differential Is concerned It cannot seriously interfere with the market , ns scalpIng - Ing Is not allowed In Canada. It would only affect the extreme points of the system on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts , and then only to a small extent. As for Chicago , St , Louis and St. Paul gateways I question very much If the differential would be fell. "There was one resolution defeated at tha meeting which was somewhat significant. The resolution sought to apply to Portland the same differential as allowed via Tacoma. Seattle and Vancouver. This might bo re garded oa a straw Indicating the feeling ol the north lines. However , If the Northern Pacific , Great Northern and 'Soa' Pacific can agros I have no doubt the Southern Pa cific and the Santa Fo will patch up their differences The committee on' agreement have been at work for two wcslts and I Im agine It will take them two weeks more In which to formulate an agreement. Then the lines will have an opportunity of discussing the agreement In committee of the whole. " WIIRO SrliuclulnVII1 llo lltniril Oototior 1. PORTLAND , Sept. 8.
