. Many of the pope's personal expression
regarding his Intention to come Out of the
Vatican in the near future were bitterly
discussed and criticised, and these criticisms,
reported to Plua X by personages enjoying
hla Intimacy, naturally cauaed the pope to
.be more guarded In the expression of his
Intentions. Up to the time of hla flrat
consistory Plus X. found himself almost
Isolated, ao much so that every one of
the cardinal to whom he offered the secre
taryship of state absolutely refused to
undertake its burden and responsibility. It
was thus that he had to appoint Cardinal

at the last consistory he gave a gentle
hint about the assistance he expected to
receive from the eaered college In the per'

ROME, Dec !. New Tork World Ca

discussion In Rome at present about ths
threatened censure of the works written
by Abbe Lolsy, and several French bishop
have come to the Vatican to urge their con
demnation, while many others, among
whom I Mgr. Mlgnot, archbishop of Albl,
are strongly opposed to any such action,
warmly defending the writings of the
learned priest The worka under discuasion

pon It by the' Protestant, Alphonse Har-
nack. Both worka have reference to biblical
question and the point under discussion
imply the higher study of the Bible, lately
taken up with much vigor in the Roman
church. . .
The opinion of Abbe Lolsy, 1 which are
denounced as heretical, are principally the
assertion that the five book of the Penta
teuch were not all written by Moses, and
that the first few chaptera of Genesis do
not contain the exact and real history of
the origin of mankind. For these aasert'ons
Abbe Lolsy waa removed by Cardinal Rich

Catholic theologian have subscribed to the
same opinions, among them aeveral of those
ppolnted by the late pope as member ot
the Vatican Biblical commission.
Cardinal Richard, however, la strongly
opposed to the abbe, and, besides having
forbidden ecclesiastical student from at'

gatlon of the Index. Plua X haa had the

ao far no action has been taken. In fact.
It la thought that the pope would rather
not begin hla pontificate with the official
condemnation ot a work which finds many I

instead of appearing before the Con are ga-

contingent which drew the rapt' attention
of the boulevardlera. Rothschild' butler,
wearing the short breeches and other habll-
Imenta of his service, strode pompously at
the head of the scores of servants com
posing the retinue of the Rothschild house.
An empty coupe, 'drawn by the baron's
favorite horse, led the next division, in
which the late baron's hunting service waa
represented. Fllee of retainers, many of

session, created sensation. Construed by
many aa a threat of direct retaliation
against Colombia tn case treaty is not
ratified.' This and the statement of Just
arrived members of congress from Panama
that this department would revolt if the
treaty Is not ratified, cauaed alarm and
the effect la ravoraoie.
Minister . Beaupre telegraphed Secretary
Hay July 9, that he had been Informed by
promlnent (Joiomman tnai tne treaty
could not be ratified without two amend-
ments, one Increasing the price to be paid
to Colombia by the United State to 116,000,- being an officer of the Burlington I can
000, and another requiring the payment of not aay. I know, however, that the Burl
tl0.000.000 to Colombia by the Panama Canal Ington management and Mr. Wtllard have
company. A reply to thia was sent by Sec
retary Hay that neither of the proposed
amendments would stand any chance ot
acceptance by. th United Statea aenate.
In a later dispatch Secretary Hay Informed
Mr. Beaupre regarding the proposed amend-
menta:
The president would not submit to our
senata anv amendment in that aense. but
would treat It aa violating the negotiations
snd bringing about a failure to conclude a
satlstuctory treaty wun coiomoia.
Law Passed by Colombia.
August 17 Mr. Beaupre cabled that Pre:,
dent Marroquln Informed htm that ha
should secure the passage of a law author -
izlng him to continue and finish negotia-
tlons for a canal, but under what condi-
tlon he could not state.
Under date of September I Mr. Beaupr
gave the conaltione ot tnia proposed law.
It authorised the president of Colombia to
conclude treaties for the canal or contract
for the same with private parties; ths
price named waa tlO.OUO.Ott) from the canal
company and (30,000,000 from the contracting
parties or government; the concession, to
run 10O years and lease not to Ine'.ud
Panama or Colon, an annual rental of S150.
OuO waa fixed until 1967; lease renewable
every hundred year on payment of 26 per
cent Increase', Colombia sovereignty over
whole territory and Inhabitants; police and
sanitary regulations wholly Colombian;
time limit to b fixed for completion of
work.
Mr. Beaupre remarked that It waa highly
probable that even theae terma would not
be acceptable to th Colombian Congress.
Under data of September 10 Mr. Beaupre
cabled that the report of the committee
had not yet been discussed In the Senata
He added
Flare attack today In ths Benate Upon
the appointment of Obaldla as governor of
Panama. The appointment la regarded as
being ths forerunner of separation. Of
several senators who spoke only the ifn
of president defended the action of ths
government. A resolution passed by rl
moil unanimous vote, which is equivalent
to a vote ot censure against tne govern'
menu
He added that the situation was not Im
proved and there seemed no chance of
satisfactory action.
Trestle for Goveraaeeat.
In a lettet which followed this cable
message Mr. Beaupre commented on the
'separatist" tendencies of the newly ap-
pointed governor of Panama, which, he
aald, war "well known."

Trooble,
CHICAGO, Dec. 19. A general strike of
tr.achlnlata, boiler makers and blacksmiths
on' the Union Pacific and Southern Paclflo
railroad lines may be declared by January
1. Violation of the agreement which ended
the machine shop strike Is alleged.
International President Slocum of the
Brotherhood of Blacksmiths Is quotod aa
authority for the statement that the com
panies are attempting to evade a stipula
tion that piecework should be abolished
within four months. .
There la nothing In this report, so far
the machinist are. concerned," aald
George W. Smith and A. 8. Mildred, two
Union Paclflo machinists, when shown the
statement from Chicago.
Both these men were leader In th atrike

with Mr. Haniman the other day.
No blacksmith or bollermaker could be
found who had the least Idea that hla craft
wa on the verge of another rupture with
the Union Pacific. The fact is relation

CHICAOO. Dec. 19. (Special Telegram.)
James J. Hill arrived In Chicago today
I from the east on hla way to St, Paul. He
I was asked if the selection of Daniel W!!-
lard to be aecond vice-president of the Burl-
I Ington meant that changes were to be mads
I jn the operating force. He replied. "Not
the highest regard for . the men on the
Burlington." . .
Despite this statement, there ia a strong
probability that the operating department
of the Burlington, Is to undergo a severe
overhauling. It la aaid that a place haa
already been made on the Erie railroad
for F. C. Rloe, general auperlntendent of
the Burlington; that aeveral old master
mechanics are to be retired and that there
are to be aeveral change among the dlf
lerrnt aupenntenaenta. There is also a
probability that th Burlington may event-
I ually be redlvlded for operating purpoaea
1 into the line west and lines eaat of the
I Missouri river. This would do away with
one-third of the organisation and leave two
I general managers and two general Dassen
er ,entjl instead of three. There is said
t0 llul joubt that Mr. Hill believes
the limit of the Burllngton'a capacity to
handle tonnage haa not been reached and
that he wanta ta flpd It.

geaator Dietrich Pleads.
United Statea Senator Charles H.
Dietrich, with his attorney, General John
C. Cowln, appeared before Judg W. ii. '
Munger n the Vnlted States district eourt.
at 10 yesterday morning to anawer to the
IndletmenU found against Senator Dietrich
by the recent sitting of the federal grand
Jury.
Senator Dietrich refused to plead to the
first indictment, alleging conspiracy be
tween himself and Poetmaater Jacob Fisher.
and hla attorney gave notice of a demurrer
to thla Indictment as Illegal and. unwar
ranted. To the aecond Indictment, relative
to leasing his building to the government
for postClc purpoaea. In violation of the
federal statutes. Senator Dietrich pleaded
not guilty. - .
General Cowln stated to th court that
his client was ready for trial at the earliest
practicable moment. Assistant District At-'
torney Rush, representing the government,
stated that It would be Impossible for the
government to get ready for trial of th
case before thirty daya. H maintained
that It would b neceasary to summon wit
nesses from Washington and It would b
Impossible to get them - here before that
time.
Judge Munger did not seem to encourage
the proposition for excessive delay in bring
ing the matter to trial, a he -believed that
Senator Dietrich wa entitled to an early
trial. He aaid:
Conslderatloa Da Him.
'From an Individual standpoint Senator
Dietrich was not entitled to any more con
sideration . than anyone else.' but
i entitled to certain considera
tions from the fact of hla position as an
officer of the government, whose seat la
th United State aenate was vacant be
cause of this matter, and h 1 entitled to
an early hearing from this caus In order,
that hs might resuras hie official duties.
The district attorney had ample time In
the six week thia matter was before th
grand Jury to locate the essential witness ,
and bring th trial to an early lasue. - Con
cession haa been granted by th coort to '
this grand jury In th matter of permitting
it th presence of a stenographer to take
evidence in the Important cases, but I
can state that thla never will occur again."
Assistant District Attorney Ruth still
maintained that It would require thirty
daya at least to get ready for trisl on thax
Indictment to which the plea had been mad
by Senator Dietrich.
"It la on this other Indictment," h said,
"that wa havs been getting ready for trial
and could go to trial on this indictment.
This is the caae where- the 'accused t
charged with taking money to Influence th
appointment of persons to poatofflces. An
lamination before a grand Jury Is not a
technical one."
General Cowln her Interposed with th
Observation:
'The government has had these caae,
undsr Investigation for two years or mar
and ther la no reason why it cannot pro
ceed 'o trial at one. We ar ready sad
Insist on th earliest possible date bains
fixed for the hearing."
Flies Date la Tw Weeks.
Judg Munger was of th opinion that
Senator Dietrich, having already been put
to much Inconvenience, was entitled to an'
early bearing, and announced with consid
erable emphasis that the postponement
should not continue any longer thaa two
weeks from todsy. Hs said:
"The government has sufficient facllltls
for bringing the neceasary witnessed her
from Washington or elsewhere by that
time and hence the delay of two weeks la
sumcieni. -
