Public opinion ha also been effected by the sight of antl-clerlcal France ami her decadence while the prog ress of Anglo-Saxon nations as well aa the prosperity of Catholic Germany have resulted In delivering official and lay Italy from the miserable bondage under which for more than a century Italians were led to believe that they could not safely follow tfcelr own religious Instincts, but must adopt the extravagant theories of France. Among other thing It is stated that the Kiunrison of Garibaldi is studying for the priesthood. There are various reports concerning the heHltli of the pope prevailing In Komo at present. There I no doubt that the affairs In France are very trying to him and occupy hla mind greatly. Some per sona consider that his state Is dangerous, but these are alarmists of an exaggerated type; others regard his recent illness as Indicative of a condition which is danger ous; while the actual fact of his thing audience dally and receiving the cardinal prefects of congregations demonstrates that he Is fairly well. Strength of Ministry, The voto of confidence received by Signor tilollttl from the chamber was, aa tha Pnpol.i Romano, seems to admit this morn ing, of a purely personal character and is not very easily explained. The govern ment" program Is that of Jlaron Sonnlno, . um hanged In any essential particulars; Its only pledges are to carry out legislation , proposed by its predecessors. It was cer tain I hat tha new ministry would be asafcd by the extreme left, but the hostility of the- right must have been an unpleasant turpria, as up to the last moment benevo lent neutrality had been secured on the part of the Marquis dt Rudinl and bis fol lowers. The life of the ministry, however. with Its ample majority, should be safe until after the summer recess. But much may happen before November to disturb that security, and its present majority is no pledge of Ha continuance. The entrance of the Di Rudinl group In opposition at once suggests a possible coalition of the conservative parties, which may prove more attractive to the chamber than the. leader ship of Baron Sonnlno alone. On the other hand, the extreme 'left may be expected to make an energetic effort to recapture the position they have lost in the country, and It la more than probable that their agitation will produce its usual crop of labor troublea and disturbances. A mediaeval ditch, which was reopened by Slgnor BonL lying under the foundation of tha Column of Trajan, waa found to be filled with skeletons. The bones laid her allowed marks of weapons In many placea, and it ia supposed that these were the alaughtered left after some dreadful battle, which It is held occurred In the wild tlmea of the seventh or eighth century. That the authorities In Home had a care for . the ancient monuments la clearly deduced from a decree issued In 1112. prohibiting under a penalty of death anything tendlna to destroy this monumental column. TO PROTECTAFRICA'S GAME British Government Asked o Slave Large Animals af the Dark Continent. UiNDOX, July 7. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) A- plea for the protection of wild anlmsls baa Ju.t been made by a deputation which waited on Iird Elgin at the colonial office on behalf of the Society for the Pieservation of the Wild Faun.-i of the Empire. The deputation was headed by lii-rd Curion of Kedleston. It pointrd cut to T.ord Elgin that many of the most Ineresilng species of wild animals In the various colonies and African protectorates were In danger of extinction by pot-hunters and sportsmen, nnd submitted the fol lowing recommendations to him: That the returns of all gnme Hnimx killed should continue to be Included in the annual repurta of each protectorate or colony.

But these Incident., though they mac's the relations of the two monarehs still worse, are not the first cause of the cool ness. This date back to the time of the death of the Crown Prince Rudolf. On that occasion King Leopold, as frtther-ln-law of tho unfortunate prince, came to Vienna for the funeral. As soon aa he arrived at the station In Vienna, late In the evening, he sent a message to Count Kalnoky. Australn minister of foreign affairs, that he wanted to see him the very lirst thing the follow ing morning before the funeral. This mysterious rendezvous was much discussed by the diplomatic corps, which wondered what Important question could lead King CQmt Kalnok . , on such a day, The Australn foreign minister was as curious aa anyone about the rendeivous and appeared punctually at the hour fixed.

His astonishment, his India-nation, and his grief were boundless when he learned the preoccupation of his Bel gian majesty beside the open tfrave of his daughter's husband. Since that day his relations with King Leopold have been purely formal. BRITISH OFFICERS- AT FAULT Native Areooot of the Trouble la Egypt Which Resulted la Marder. CAIRO, July ". tSpeclal Cablegram to The Bee.) Many different accounts of the attack by natives upon British officers in volving the death of Captain Bull, have been made. The natives, however, give tha following account: The officers, having been invited by a local notable to shoot pigeons, went for the purpose, divided Into two parties, one of three officers and the other of two. Captain Clarke Bull and another went in the direction of the threshing floor about the time the pigeons (which are the prop erty of the natives) come to feed. Cap tain Bull shot at a pigeon, whereupon a native came to disarm him and his com panion. While thla was being done a gun went off, hitting a woman on the threshing floor, which caught fire. The head native went to the spot to examine the matter. An officer fired and hit hm. Thereupon the natives assembled and attacked the officers with their heavy staves. The other officers wers also at tacked. Captain Bull and his companion being overwhelmed, dropped their arms and ran across a canal to the place where the troops were encamped. Captain Bull fell on the bank of the canal, exhausted and dying. The head of the hamlet came to tend him. Another officer crossed the canal and brought a detachment, who, re turning, attacked the native, thinking he was the murderer. They then went to the scene of the affray, near Densrtaway, and wished to attack the natives, but an officer prevented this. DEVONSHIRE JN OPPOSITION Former Asaoelate of Chaanberlala May Lead "Vew Party In British Field. GLASGOW, July 7. (Special Cablegram to the Bee.) After the speech which the duke of Devonshire delivered, at the meet ing of the I'nionist Free Trade club, it ought not to be very difficult to indicate the part which, if he lives, he will fill in the politics of the country during the as cendancy of the present liberal adminis tration. Some time ago the duke was spoken of as likely to be the suitable head of a new party composed of liberal union ists and moderate Ulerals, and It I possible tb,mtfuinnedTh'cy ,h'n hll7ard'd msy From what is said in some quarters one might fancy that the cabinet of 6ir Henry Campbell-Rannerman Is already on its last legs.

EMIGRATION FROM ISLAND IS INCREASING Fifteen Thoaaaait Come to the Tnlted States aad Nearly Ttto Thou sand to C anada This Spring. DCRUN, July 7.-(Speclal Cablegram to The Bee.) It begins to appear as though In case the British Parliament does not move more rapidly In this mattpr of home rule the Irish members, even some of the most loyal of the Irish party leaders, say that the home rule measure sueji as It is no matter what it ls-must go over un til next year on account of the fight on the education bill this year. If the edu cation bill satisfied anyone it might be different, but I have yet to And the first person In all Ireland who has a good word for the measure, though under the party whip probably most of the Irish members will support it with the idea that the Eng lish advocate of the bill will support home rule next year. Indeed, as one of the leaders of the Irish party, a former member of Parliament, said a few days ago: "It Is the same old story, no mat ter whether the liberals or the conserva tive are in power. The home ruler comes In at the tall end of the political line. The friends of the ministry are saying, 'You support our bills and we will support yours." but they never do. The labor lead ers, the Scotch members those Interested in colonial nutters everybody can get In reforms except the Irishmen. I am be ginning to think there Is no hope for Ire land In either of the old parties. Not un til the conservatives and the liberals have passed away and a new party like the labor party has arisen Is there any hope for Ire land and home rule." Emigration Inereaaea. The temporary check to emigration y which waa exhibited in the returns for February and March has been succeeded by a big increase In the number of emi grants. The returns for April and May show that 8,461 emigrants left during the former month" and 6,150 during the latter, an increase of 2,384 and 1.74, respectively, over the corresponding figures for 1!6. A total of 19.035 have left the Irish shores since the first of Jnnuary, of whom 16,044 went to the United States and 1,743 to Canada.

Its material for recitation is almost inexhaustible and furnishes every variety of subject. IRISH C0MINGF0R RELICS Deputation from F.mernld Isle SAoold Secure Objecta of Interest. LONDON, July 7. A deputation Is pro ceeding to America to obtain objects of historical interest for the International ex hibition to be held at Dublin In 1907. Prof. Thomas K. Teegan, principal of the Cen tral Training college, Dublin, has already sailed for New York, and Father Patrick Lrfilly of Galway and Colonel McHackctt of Dublin will follow. They will visit all tha larger cities to secure relics in the possua alon of families of Irish descent and also to obtain for a special aubsection objects associated with the Neapolonic era held by Americans. While the exhibition is being strongly supported, opposition to It lias been aroused in soma quarters. The Irish- na tionalists are particularly opposed to it, John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish Par liamentary party In the House of Com mons, explaining that what Ireland wanted at preaent was a national and not an Inr'-r-nattoiial exhibition, aa the Irish industrle3 are not yet sufficiently developed to be placed beside the manufactures of other countries.

Becaaaa No Farther Troahle Haa Follovred (he Madrid Ontrage. PARIS. July ?e-(Spec!al Caniecrajn to The Bee.) The French criminal authorities view with great tJfctlon the fact that the recent bomb outrago. in Madrid ha not led to an anarchist epidemic. 'There, is no doubt that anarchism has of late years become more extensive, but at the sanio time it haa become less intensive. The greater the number of snan Hit the easier It la for tho police to Veep Trace ot their plans, as among the- number thero are always one of two In the py of the police. The aJiarchlsts who hoM rnetlngn' write In newspapers, etc., are much lees' danger ous, as on occasion like the wedding festivities In Madrid ,4hey can" be kept under observation or .pine lockol up on some excuse till the danger la over. For merly these outrage rarely came singly. Paris some years ago . went through an absolute reign of terror. First there wai the outrage committed by Ravarhol; then came the terrible explosion In' the police station in the Rue des Bona Enfant, which waa followed by the throwing of the bomb In the chamber by Valllant.' About couple of weeks later the Belgian anarchist, Talvels, blew up a hotel keeper In the Rue Bt. Jacques, and win himself killed ten day later at the entrance to the Madelelno church by a bomb which he was endvavsr ing to place behind the "swing door. Then came the outrage at the Cafe Terminus, when Emlle Henry threw hi bomb among the peaceful cltlsens who were listening to the orchestra. It was only natural thnt a aeries of out rages ahould spread terror in a city like Paris. Things went so far that the public prosecutor and the Tarloua examining magistrate entrusted with the prosecution ot anarchists were given, notice to vacate by the landlords of the housea in which they lived, as they were In receipt of threatening letters from anarchists', and. an attempt was made to blow one up. One . Judge d'lnstructlon hunted all Parts, but could not find a landlord willing to accept him as tenant till he was finally forced to rent a flat under an assumed name. M. Goron. the famous chief of the Paris Detective department, hod little confidence In the power of stamping out anarchism by means of police - measures. He con sidered that the only way to get rid of anarchism waa to go to the root of things by the spread of popular education and the bettering, of the lot of the laboring classes.

"You see," said Prof. Claparede to his class, "how unreliable Is the evidence ot an eyewitness to an event, even In a law court and on his oath." During further experiments the 8wlss savant came to the conclusion that not one person In -line can give a correct descrlp tlon of a man whom they have looked at for ten seconds.

A queer diary of the king of Cambodia's French tour Is being; written by his majesty's lord chamberlain for pub lication when the royal party returns to Puompenh, the capital of Cambodia By the help of one of the king's Inter preter's extracts from the diary have been obtained, showing that the lord chamber luin thinks many things are awry in France. "The French people," writes the lord chamberluin, "talk a great dealk all talk together, and women interrupt their hus bands without fear of punishment. "But most people are rude In France, and the rudest are the men who maks pictures. Many of these persons have not even refrained from threatening the sacred dancers or the king with ths machines they carry In boxes.' 'Everybody wears far too many clothes, and they are worn all dajr long. Many wear numbers of unnecessary garments. especially the women. 'The women do not wear sampots (trousers1), but instead wear many super fluous yards of different colored materials placed one on top of the other. And the husbumls enea.se the bodies of their wive In cuirasses worn underneath the dresses. " Men and women meet together in large companies, and quite without shame. They pray little, or not at all, but their temples are magnificent and built of fine stone." EMIGRATION FROM ENGLAND Kalvatloa Army Would Send Natlvea and Aliens to Bet ter Places.

RESCUE OF STEAMER AMERICA Fabre Line Ship Adrift for Kleven Days with Broken Shaft. NEW YORK, July 7. The Italian steamer Dlnnamare. which towed the disabled and overdue Fabre line steamer America to Bermuda on July 4. arrived here tonight. According to the crew of the Dlnnamare the 118 passengers on the America were greatly alarmed throughout their drift of eleven days at the sea's mercy and when Captain Penco of the Dlnnamare - we nt B.bo8fd4'the Amortca at Bermuda -the pas sengers swarmed around him and carried him about the deck. The men as well as the women of the steerage hailed him aa their savior and it waa with difficulty that he got ashore. When picked up the America had been adrift eleven days with a broken shaft. There waa no chance of repairing the break and the only hope for those on board was a tow to the nearest port, which was Ber muda, 1,100 miles away. "We were going along on our regular course on June 27," said Captain Penco, "when I saw something off the port bow at 4 p. rn., that looked like a sailboat. Through the glass It rooked like a fishing schooner and I waa somewhat puxzled at Its appearance In auch an out of the way place. When we got closer I saw It was a steamer in dlstrev with signals sot for as sistance. "I bore down at a safe distance and hailed the America. The captain said he waa broken down beyond repair." The ateamer Dlnnamare thereupon took the disabled steamer in tow and took it safely Into port.

WATER BOARD'S ENGINEER ALVORD BUCKS Disapproves Valuation Determined bj Other Two Members of Board, CULMINATION OF LONG, TEDIOUS PROCESS ftrr Three tears Preliminaries to Acquisition of Plant hy tho Cltf Halt Been Hronaht to Head. - " The waterworks appraisers in session at Chicago liHe at Inst made an appraise ment of the Omaha waterworks, fixing Its value Ht KVtvl.uti. This Information was received yesteidny by the Water board. Engineer Alvord. the appraiser, ap pointed by tho hoard, refuses to concur either In the appraisement or In the valua tion nnd lias declined to sln the appraise nieiil, deeming It too high. Appraisers Renxonbcrg and Mead both concur In the above valuation. It Is believed here, however, that the apprnlsenient will Ik returned, though It is an open question whether or not two of the appraisers can fix the valuation without the concurrence of the third one. It Is said to be almost c6ertaln that the Water board will not give It assent to a valuation as high as this, and more litigation probably will result if the re turn is finally made at this figure. It Is a question whether the appraisers will make a return In which only two of them concur or not, hut It la believed they will do so, In which case the Water hoard probably will find it necessary either to accept the award or go Into court and have It set aside. City Engineer Rosen-ater, In an address mnde several weeks ago before the Im provement clubs, declared he would not recommend the acceptance of a valuation of $,onn,ooo or J7.ooo.ono. End of Tedious Prooesa. This appraisement Is the culmination of a tedious process preliminary to the acquisi tion by the city under a clause in the original contract of the company that built the water works. The plant waa built In 1881 by local capital organised by a man named Cook. The terms provided that he should construct the works subject to cer tain tests and an ordinance was passed giving him a contract to supply the city with hydrants for fire-fighting purposes for a period not to exceed twenty-five yeais. This ordinance also contained a schedule of maximum rate to private consumers to obtain as long as the contract held out. Another clause In this contrsct provided for tha clty'a purchase of the plant bv appraisement of three spprulners, tha valua Jioii to im exiduaUca, of ibe franch.U. The city had an option to Institute an appraise ment after the expiration of twenty year and before twenty-five years from the ac ceptance of the worka as completed. The method of appointing tha appraisers was for tho city to name one, the water company one and these two to choose the third. A serious dispute arose aa to the date on which the city's option beotme operative. The works were actually completed In MM. but were not formally accepted by the city until 188.1. The company, therefore. Insisted that the purchase option was not available until 1903. brouaht to Head by Bonds. The question of buying waa brought to a head In 1900. when the city council sub mitted a proposition to vote bonds to the amount of l.t.omi.Ott) for the purchsse of tl water works. This proposition waa ratified hy the voters, but the question of the right to purchsse held the matter In abeyance until 1908. when the legislature was Induced to enact a law out of the "water bill," which became irather notorious because ot the vigorous contest over it. This law pro vided for the purchase by the city, and the management of the plant after Its put chase by a water board of six members originally appointed by the governor and elected by the people as the terms of the members expired. Another obstacle presented itaelf in th course of the long-drawn-out controversy in the question whether the city should effect the purchase under the eauae in tho contract or by the right of eminent domain. The latter would give the city the right to name all the appraisers, while the former method would enablo It to name but one, and to accept or re ject, the appraisement. Just aa it liked. The purchase clause method waa force-! upon ths city, and now the city is told that tha value of the plant it la to buy is 16.000,000 and more, notwithstanding only 13,000,000 wss tho amount of tha bonds voted for the purchase. When tha city council decided In favor of the pur chase clause method. Engineer Alyord was appointed as the city's appraiser. 1hv water company named Benxenberg anl these two chose Engineer Mead. . Dclaya of All Sorts. This board of appraisers waa suppose I to go to work at once, hut it fiddled aionj with all sorts of delays, putting the city off from time to time with this and thil exiiuse for Its failure to act. Tho Water bowrd tried to anticipate the purchase by repudiating the water ; rate schedule cuutiact and reducing- tha rales to consumers. This threw the bur den of vast litigation upon the city, jn which the city lost. Judge Hunter of the United States district court decid-al th'i rMe, as promulaat-d by the Water board, wore leg.il. They weru 25 cents. ! where the old ratca were 35 cents. But the company appealed to the United j States circuit court of appeals, and only two weeks ago Judge Sanborn of r'l. ' Pal11 hnded down the oecislon of this ! court, which reversed that of the lower , court. The Water board's attorneva then 1 j , u .1 ! declared they would appeal tho case to the supreme court.
