land 1n the near future It la safe to say
that the prime minister, Campbell Banner

No matter what he has done or Is doing

must Tie a "wonder." For he has succeeded
In "putting" the liberal party In such a

strange os it may seem. In bringing about
this result will be the visit of sn American
politician Mr. William Jennings Bryan.
Vlalt Waa Pleaslna.
When Mr. Bryan was In London the
liberal government made much of Mm.
He was welcomed everywhere at the
palace of the king, at the home of John
Burns, at the clubs of the Irish member
of Parliament, at the country seat of
Whltelaw RHd. the American ambassador
to Great Britain. Naturally these thing
and te fact that he wae discussed by tha
newspapers as a presidential possibility,
did much to focus public attention upon
the Nebraska man. . His speech, undoubt
edly clover, certainly splendid bit 'of
oratory, at the peace gathering for the sub
m lesion of disputes to The Hague or some
other impartial international tribunal f6r

tlon of war or the beginning of hostilities,
as well as bis visit to Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman early In July, rauaed the Tory
paper of the empire to declare that a com
pact to promote a-universe.! pear Agree
ment waa in tho air. Certain It Is, that,
friendship u formed between the liberal
leader of England and the demoorstto
' leader of America, v,,' , ..'
, And yet It appear -to have been Mr.
Bryan' late to deal a- blow to Campbell
Bannerman, hi new found friend, - more
over than over dealt by Mr. Chamberlain,
Mr. Balfour or any of the great opponent
of th liberal party In England. For It so
happened that tho labor party was- on the
verge of breaking with the liberal paty.
'And It so happened that Mr. Bryan' first
aneech at Madison Bquare garden after
landing In the United States ba furnished
th excuse and th opportunity.

gome of Mr. Bryan's friends and ad
mirers among the laboritte here In London
are Baying that Mr. Bryan himself will not
feel badly about this fact that he will not
objeot to being regarded aa a "great edu
cational force" all over the civilised
world. But this view point does not help
famDbell-Bannerman and the liberal
leader In their present dilemma.
Kor Mr. Bryan's American speeches have
furnished the worklngmea of England Juat
the issue which they ' needed an issue
which they did not see and understand
themselves until Mr. Bryan railed It to the
attention of hla American audiences
Scarcely had Mr. Bryan left the Madison
Bquare Garden for his home In the western
part of the United States before the
Trade Union congress. In session at Liver
pool, without any discussion, unanimously
Instructed the labor member of Parliament
to introduce a bill providing for the na
tionalising of all railways, canals and
mines In the United Kingdom.
To understand what thla really means.
It must be understood that tho Trade Union
congress wields powerful influence over the
labor party and -the labor party wields a
powerful Influence over the liberal party.

bers of Parliament are not' paid ssjarles.

HOME RULE IDEAS VAGUE
'While Mirk Is Hoped. Little la Cer
tainly Knonn of Govern
meat's Plaa.
DUBLIN. Sept. 1U. fSpecisI Csblegram
to The Bee.) The outlines of moet of Hie
schemes for home rule published up1 to the
present time deal In glittering generalities.
It Is difficult. If not Impossible, for cone- I
spt.ndents. either English or Irish, to deal
with accomplished facts, for the reason
that little or nothing has been really a
tied. Very little of the Dublin castle .t
has been allowed to transpire. A f
toons a eseai nave neen non iu
wsy the wind blows, but th' -r i
made public may bear no v w5 e to ,
the ultimate plan. There Is x ety Im
portant point on which all fdv.-lats are
silent, and that Is that it is proposed to
Introduce a nomlnnted element to keep the
county council representative straight.
The value of any forecast of the Mac
donnell scheme may be gauged from the
fact that the plans are far from matured,
and they will be altered from time to time
to secure the adhesion of this or that
member of the cabinet. If It Is true, as
reported, that two or three Important min
isters have declared that they will not go
a far aa the earl of Dunraven, then Sir
Antony Macdonnell'a pet projects have lit
tle or no prospect of success.
The meeting of the intonist alliance
and the speech of Mr. Walter Long, 1 M.
P.. are noteworthy at the present time.
Fur better or worse, the alliance repre
sents the unionists of Ireland. It has ap
pointed Mr. Long Its spokesman. He wae
elected by a big majority for the one con
stituency outside Ulstpr ; that returns a
unionist. ' There are . practically only two
parties In Ireland the nationalists snd the
unionists. A certain section of unionists,
Including Lord Dunraven and some others,
have professed themselvee dtssatlKled with
the existing condition of Irish govern
ment and desirous of some reform. This
policy has been called "devolution." The
devolutlonlete number some men of consid
erable ability, but they are few in num
ber. The nationalists have welcomed the
movement of the devolutlonlete because
their stacks on the existing system sre
useful so far as they go, though the rem
edy they have proposed Is pronounced not
only Inadequate, but futile. The unionists
repudiate them.
The existing government Is composed
mainly of men who have declared them
oelve home rulers. The majority In the
cabinet have voted for Mr. Gladstones
home rule bill. Quite recently Its princl
pal members, including the prime mln
ister and Mr. Asqulth. publicly declared
that home rule was the one effective rem
edy for the Irish difficulty. , The proceed
ing at th recent meeting of the union
let and th speech of Mr. Long go to
show that they would oppose with equal
vaheroenoe any measure of reform, how
ever faltering and feeble. - They are pre
pared to oppose devolution aa strongly as
home rule.
The speech of Mr. Long, as the spokes
man of the Irish unionists, I regarded as
a warning to the government against fall
ing between two stools. It Is a plain dec
laration that no watering down of home
rule,, however much It may alienate na
tionalist support, will in the fslnteet d.
tree mitigate unionist hostility.
LANDHOLDERS : BILL DISLIKED

GLASGOW. Sept. 22. (Bpeclal Cablegram
to Th Bee.) Two public bodies in Scotland
have - made- pronouncement on the araall
landholders' bill, which was laid before the
House of Commons toward the end of the
session. Th first, to move was the Banff
shire Liberal association. Mr. A. W. Black,
the member for Banffshire, told his con
stituent that thla wa a splendid bill, that
It would apply to J.000 landholder In the
county, and so on. The response of th
Liberal association was a resolution ap
proving the object and principles of th
bill, but expressing disapproval of its chief
detail, which is the Introduction of dual
owneshlp into the land system of the low
lands. Now the Aberdeen, Banff and Kin
cardine Land Defense association Is avow
edly brought Into being by the small land
holders1 bill and the land tenure bill. It
declares Itself "anxious to co-operate In
any Judicious measures directed to pro
mote th prosperity of all olasses inter
ested in agriculture and to encourage the
maintenance and extension of small hold
ings on equitable and economical princi
ples." But it declares that the two bills
mentioned above "contain provisions not
only unjust to the lend owners of Scotland,
but also subversive of the security of pri
vate property and Injurious to the real In
terest of aTiculture and to the permanent
welfare of the country district."

ROME, Sept. ill (Bpeclal Cablegram to
The bee.; ine selection of itev. father
Vvernx, a Ueiman and the rector of the
Gregorian university, as the general of the
Jesuits ana the approval by tiie pope ot
the choice, Is supposed to herald an era
of closer relations between the German
government ami the Vatican. Th pres
ent kaiser, as Is well known, '-hough a
lotestsnt In faith. Is nevertheless ex
tremely liberal In dealing with his Cath
olic subjects, and during the past year or
two haa manifested a dlspoMtlon to rely
upon the support of the clericals to repel
the advances of the socialists.
An interesting story regarding the boy
hood of Ffther Wern has Just been pub
lished by the Roman newspspers i:d a
successful career Is accordingly being pre
dicted for him as the general of the
Jesuits. According to this story, when a
very small child an old gypsy woman pre
dicted that he would be greater than king
or pope.
"There Is the man of the future." she
ssld, raising her hand above her head.
"He will command men."
"Will he be made king of the gypsies?"
asked one of her hearers.
"He will be more than that," was tbe
reply. "Others may be king of the gypsies,
but he will be pope of the gypsies." ,
Conditions In Spnln.
A strange and exceedingly unique con
dition of affaire la reported from Madrid.
It 1 announced that : the king of Spain
ia contemplating a visit to the holy father
1n the near future. At the time of hi
marriage and because of his well known
democratic and liberal tendenclea, to asy
nothing of his marriage to Bna, of Batten
berg, a Protestant princess, fear war ex
pressed her that King Alfonso might
grow lukewarm In the faith of hi fathera.
On the contrary, according to advice re
calved here from Madrid, th young king
appear more steadfast In tha Catholic
faith than before, while Queen. Victoria, hi
royal bride, haa all of the seal of a new
convert and is behind the decision of the
king to visit the holy father and the holy
city.
Nevertheless, advices from Spain also In
dicate -that -there-, are poselbllltle of a
crisis, so far as tha king,' th cabinet and
the Cortes are concerned. The chief quea
tlon to be solved is the matter of the abo
lition of article 11 of the. constitution,
which prohibits every external manifests'
tlon of non-Catholic cults. It Is laid down
In the Concordat of lffil that three relig
ious orders shall enjoy certain privileges,
while the rest, like associations of a civil
character, shall be subject to the common,
law. The Concordat, however, is not car
ried out, there being In Spain a multi
tude of religious orders which enjoy priv
ileges and control public education. This
Is the actual bone of contention with Rome,
because the government wishes to - fix
clearly which shall be the three privileged
orders and bring the rest under the com
mon lew of associations. Moreover, the
government desire to secularise the cem
eteries and to give greater solemnity to
civil marriage, which In reality doea not
exist, nine canonical marriage 1 obli
gatory for all Spanish Catholic.
Government Stands Firm.
The Spanish government, according to
all accounts, ha decided to give away
to tbe Vatican In nothing, and the Papal
Nuncio, who ha seen, tbe danger, has
recouae to the accustomed delays of
Vatican diplomacy. These, he says,
are matters which It Is not within his
province to decide; they must be negoti
ated direct with the Vatican. In thla
manner he' gain time, while the clericals
In Spain hope to see the return to power
of the conservative party, whose leader.
Senor Maura, would respect the status
quo.
Some persons opine that, in the event
of a crisis arising, .It will be resolved In
a eens even more rsdicsl, the crown call
ing upon Renor Canalejaa, who is the leader
of the extreme democratic-radical left, an
off-shoot of the republican ramp. This
party advocates extreme measures with
Rome, even to the extent of a denuncia
tion of the Concordat, which they regard
aa quite out of date. Here in Rome It Is
bellevM the government Is really mark
ing time, and when the proper moment ar
rives King Alfonro will aupport the policy
of the liberals. General Lopes Domlnques,
Senor Canalejaa and Senor Gullon all tay
the government maintains an energetic
attitude. Senor Amallo Jlineno. minister
of public Instruction, is studying the
problem In Its educational aspect. Is pre
paring legal measures for restricting tha
facilities which the congregations at
present possess for founding Schools and
colleges. Before leaving Madrid the
Conde de Romanoues stated that as minis
ter of grace and Justice he wss disposed
to resign rather than give wsy. He added
that ha would make a cabinet question of
the matter of civil marriage. '
Am 1 French Sltnatlaa.
Another remarkable and Interesting
story regarding the relations existing be
tween the Vatican and France has Just
been printed here. According to this state
ment It haa been learned from au Italian
personage of blah (landing that Cardinal
Merry del Val. the secretary of state at
the Vatican, will shortly be replaced by
a prelat more conciliatory to France.
Tbe reason for the cardinal having fallen
Into disfavor was as follows; Hi emi
nence did not submit to th pope an au

French bishops, but only a very lncom

GENEVA, Sept. It. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) One of the most thrilling In
cidents In the season' .Alpine climbing h
cost the life of a Genoa n school teacher,
who ws attempting the ascent of the
Welssespliie.
Herr Overbck of A!x-li-Chspell and
If err Ktieppers of Bonn, both school
teachers, set out to make the climb with
out the aid of guides, snd sll went well
until they came to an Ice bridge.
Herr Kuepppr got over safely, but as
Herr Overbeck was crossing, the bridge
gave way and Herr Overbeck was pre
cipitated into the crevasse, hanging from
the rope attached to his friend's waist.
Herr Kueppers had neither the eupport
nor the strength to draw his friend to
safety, and after many futile attempts had
been made Herr Overbeck begged him to
cut the rope, trusting to chance that he
himself might survive the fall, while Herr
Kueppers could hasten for aid.
Finally Herr Kueppers cut the rope and
Herr Overbeck fell. Herr Kueppers groped
his wsy to ssfety and told the mountain-
eere of this plight of his friend.
A relief expedition found Herr Over-
beck's body at the bottom of the crevasse
next morning. He had, after his fall,
cut step almost to the top of the peak,
and then, with ssfety only a few feet
away, he slipped, and, falling to the bot
tom, was Itllled.
So msny accidents sre occurring In the
Alps that it Is impossible to keep count
of them. The area test number cf victims
are Swiss, and next come Germans, Ital
ians and Austrlans. British climbers have

to Th Hee.) A glorious page of military
history is recalled by the death which oc
curred at his daughter's residence, at
Edgbaston, Birmingham, of Colour-Ser
geant Edward Zeer, of th Somereat Light
infantry.
Zeer, who wa 89 year of e wa the
last survivor of the British force, which
withstood a six months' siege st Jetlalabad
during the first Afghan war 4n IMS. He
wa the sentry who challenged Dr. Bry
don, th only survivor of Gehsral Elphln
ton' force, which, while on the way to
the relief of the garrison, was massacred
in the Khyber Pass. Dr. Brydone reached
that city exhausted and emaciated, and
suggested to Lady. Butler . her famous
picture, "Th Remnant of an Army." Zeer
wrote a little booklet of the siege fipm a
diary, and In thle he gives a vivid picture
of the historic dash for liberty made by th
garrison Iq the desd of night, and how the
Afghans were taken unawaree and com
pletely routed. He was one of those also
who discovered the body of General Elphln

ONE HOLDS INTERVENTION NECESSARY
Jadge Advocate Geaeral Davis Polats
Oat Aathorlty Granted In th
Treaty Made with Cabaa

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Sept. St -(Special Tele
gram.) The eltu:Ulon In (Viba today, ac
cording to private dispatches, Is more acute
than at any time since Secretary Taft and
Assistant Secretary Bacon arrived In
Havana. Reports other than Associated
Press would seem to Indicate that the
Pnlma government will resign as the first
step toward bringing about peace between
the conflicting political Interest in the
Island. The question arises, however",
whether the Intermediaries on the part of
the United States would permit of this
action, In view of the fact that a stable
government ss contemplated In the Piatt
amendment would In the very nature of
things be abrogated and that In order to
treat with the lnsurrectos Messrs Taft
and Bacon would have to proceed upon
new and unexpected proposition. As a
result of the presence of a formidable
fleet in Cuban waters, and the landing of
marines at both Havana and Clcnfuegos,
snd subsequently withdrawn for the pur
poses of mediation on the part of the
United States authorities in the person
of Secretary Taft of the War department
and Asslstsnt Secretary Bacon of the State
department, heads of departments here, as
well ss legislators and lawyers In town.
have begun a serious discussion, whether
Intervention means the acquisition of th
Island of Cuba.
Two Divergent Vie
Already' two campa In the United State
have been formed, one Instating that Inter
ventlon means only policing ot the Island
until such time aa the various political
parties In the Islsnd may agree upon hon
orable term of suffrage, and the other be'
lieving thatvlnterventlon means acquisition
of th territory aa a part of the United
State. Another question primarily has
been Injected In the political equation,
whether the president or congress hss the
power of Intervention. 'Article III of the
tresty of 1904 between Cuba and the United
State stipulates thit the government of
Cuba consent that the United State may
xercls the right to Intervene for the
preservation of Cuban Independence, etc
while vpder th constitution th president
1 given authority to do certain thing In
the abseno of congress, txoept to declare
war, etc. v
There are those who contend tbe pre
dent. In view of th wording of article 111
ot the treaty between Cuba and the Untted
Slates, has not the power to Intervene be
tween the conflicting intereet unless di
rected so to do by congress In session. The
consensus of opinion, however, in Wash
ington Is the president was wholly within
hi right when he ordered' the representa
tive of the government, Messrs. Taft and
Bacon, to repslr to Cuba for th purpose
of acting a arbitrator between the con
Dieting political interest there and should
their mission fall he would be warranted
In throwing an armed force Into Cuba
to protect American Interests and that
should that be found Impossible, to estab
lish a protectorate.
Judge Advocate General Davis In dis
cussing th probable outcome of the situa
tion In Cuba, said today that It now looked
very much a though an armed force
would have to be thrown Into the island
to preserve peace. He is of the opinion
that this Is the only course open to the
president and furthermore that it la hi
bounden duty under existing law to Inter
vene, as established byt the treaty pro
claimed July I. 1M. 1
Basis af the Opinion. '
. Article 111 of this treaty atlpulates that
"the government of Cuba consents that
the United States may exercise the right
to Intervene for the preservation of Cuban
Independence, maintenance of a govern
ment adequate for the protection of life
and property, and Individual llbttrty and
for discharging the obligations with re
spect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of
Paris on the United States, now to be as
sumed and undertaken by the government
of Cuba."
General Davis contends that this gives
the president direct authority to Intervene
to settle the difficulties which have arisen
among the Cubana and to send an armed
force to occupy the Island for the preser
vatlon of law and order.
Congress, however, in a Joint resolution
signed In April, 1198, for the recognition
of the independence of the people of Cuba,
in section 4 of that resolution used this
lsngusge: "That the United States hereoy
disclaims any disposition or Intention to
exercise sovereignty, Jurisdiction or con
trol over said Island except for the pacifi
cation thereof and assents its determina
tion when that Is accomplished to leave
th government and control of the Island
to Its people.
Judge Advocate General Davis said that
under section I of the treaty above re
ferred to President Roosevelt need' not
consult congress iu the matter of inter
vening In Cuba. He is clear on that polut
and insist that the landing of an armed
force In Cuba could not b construed a
a declaration of war. Under tbe constitu
tion only congress can declare war, but

Regardless of the repeated assertions

isted iu Omaha or Doug'as county, Mr.
Slahaugh contends thnt not only a coal and
coke trust Is maintained, but hy the same
operators a trust on "lime and other build

trust has loen In existence for several
years; that It controls at least 10) yards and
at least 90 per cnt of the "coal, coke, lime
and other building material" buslner In tha
county; that it fixes and controls prices on
these articles of commerce and common
use; restricts trade, destroys competition,
while "falsely pretending to be competing
with each other," conspires to drive
weaker competitors whom It cannot con
trol out of business and refuses to dlvulg
its records for public view,
