this case "revise" obviously means "raise,'
and if the rates are to be raised by the
government department, it la, of course,
because those charged by the corporation
have not been remunerative. In other

The posit loo of the wool market la rather

OLD FRESCOES VALUABLE
Dlseovery of
Tears Ago
Irlik Monk Fifty
Iron with
ROMK, Sept. . (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The historic and artletlc Im
portance of the dlacovery made half a
century ago by the Irish Dominican, Father
Joseph Mullooly. of the subterranean
church of St. Clement's, Is growing rather
than leflnentns; the y arn go on. It was
a revelation. Here. In this abandoned and
forgotten church, ruined In the Invasion
of Robert Oulscard in the eleventh pentury,
was a eerie of 'reocoe beginning from
about the. fifth century, and covering a
period of close upon 601 years. We can
better appreciate the value, of this dis
covery, to the history of art. If we con
sider how few woika of this period remain
to us. ' It embraces a time when art sank
probably to lta very lowest, though. Indeed,
the eleventh and twelfth century work still
extant show a very profound decline.
Monnignor Wllpert, following the method
so successfully adopted for the catacomb
paintings, has had these frescoes photo
graphed and has employed these photo
graphs as the ground for watercolor re
productions. One picture which adorns the
niche with the celebrated Image of "Mary,
Queen of Heaven," Is a grandiose scene of
the general judgment. Although the fresoo
is greatly damaged, Wllpert has clearly
enough recognized In It the figure of the
Redeemer, who alts as Judge In the midst
of the apostles; in the picture to the right
are represented the blessed In the heavenly
Jerusalem; In the left the damned among
the demons of hell.
CARNEGIE'S OFFER ACCEPTED
After Horny leeae Liverpool Coeocll
Decides It Waste a Stir
Library.
JjONDON, Sept .-(Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) At the meeting of the Liver
pool city council the proceedings of the
libraries, eto., committee Included a rec
ommendation to accept the very generous
offer made by Mr. Carnegie to give 140,000
for a branch library for Liverpool, the cor
poration finding the site, and that the best
thanks of the oouncll be accorded to Mr.
Can. egle.
Mr. Morrisaey, socialist, seld he quite bi-
lieved in libraries for large Industrial cen
ters, but Liverpool citizens were quite
capable of paying for their own. Thoy
wer losing a good deal of their self-
respect when they went about cadging for
libraries from an American millionaire
who had got his money he best knew how.
The source from whluh the money came
was a tainted source.
The lord mayor called the speaker to
order.
Mr. Morrlssey claimed the right to op
pose the motion. The council would have
been better advised If they had taken the
trouble to learn how Carnegle'a money had
been obtained through absolute sweating
and something very like legalized murder.
A scene of confusion followed, and a fur
ther hearing was refused to the speaker.
The resolution was adopted.
HEALTH REPORT IN IRELAND
Over On Hnndred and Fifty tvrBS
Faes Ceatary Mark oa
Old Sad.
DUBLIN, Sept. 29. -(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Two striking facts in relation
to, life In Ireland present themselves once
again In the registrar general's report on
births, marriages and deaths for last year.
Ireland is a land where centenarians
flourish; as many as 161 'of the recorded
deaths were those of men and women
over 100, while tit had attained or passed
the age of 6.
The other fact la that tuberculosis la the
most fatal scourge of the population. Last
year 11.882 persons died of diseases of that
elaas, which claim more victims even than
"old age," While this terrible malady has
been manifesting some decline since 1870 in
both England and Scotland, it has been
Increasing In Ireland. The fatal stage is
most often reached between 25 and t2 Cer
tain counties are particularly prone to
consumption Tyrone and Down in the
north, Dublin and King's county In the
center and Cork and Waterford In the
south.
Last year' births numbered 101.833; the
deaths, 75,071, and the marriages, 23,071.
The births over deaths were 27,761. but the
lose by emigration was 30,607, so thst the
population is still diminishing. Emigration,
however, ia now at the lowest level reached
for twenty year. (

ST. PETKHSBLRO. Sept. .-(Btec.l
Cablegram to The Bee.) Reporta received j
here indicate 'that it Is only a ques
tion of tune before another war In the far
ea.st otcuiB. In fact, ever since the con
clusion of the Russo-Japanese war many
of those Interested have been gTeatly exer-
cls-d and perturbed as to the conditions of
rade in thore parts of Manchuria which
have come under Japanese influence. Com
missions of Inquiry organized locally by
thoec directly interested have visited the
various centers and have reported to their
various chambers of commerce end kin
dred institutions. Unofficial commissioners
of the press have likewise traveled to the
scene and have made reports to their vari
ous Individual organs, both solid and sen
sational. That many complaints hsve been
uttered, end continue to be made. Is no
torious to any observer or reader of the
newspapers.
Much hss been written and said concern
ing the commercial dishonesty of the Jap
anese, j Much more could be written and
said upon this subject; but If one-half of
the reports received here are true the white
race will wake up to discover that aa a
race it has been outwitted and outgener
aled by the yellow race. And the final
end of some of the dishonest practices re
ported can only be an economic, if not an
actual military and naval wartn the not
far dlttafnt future. Russia may not be In
a position to take the lead in such a fight,
but Russia, if for no other reason than be
cause of proximity to the scene of opera
tions, is quit likely to be forced to do its
hare of the fighting, no matter whether
on the field of Commerce or on the field of
battle.
Weaternera Fooled.
It Is apparently ths Idea of the Inexperi
enced looker-on that directly an armistice
or a peact la concluded every combatant
drops his weapon and hies him away horns,
never' stopping even to eat until he Is in
the bosom of his family. Also he appar
ently believe that when the new "peace
1 declared" comes every ordinary' occu
pation or avocation of liv- normal inhabi
tants of the - country ia . immediately re
sumed. The human machine has, unfortu
nately, still to be fed, and It take a long
time to get the combatants out of the
oountry.
In the treaty port of the far east mil
lions of taela worth of piece gooda and
other merchandise lie rotting In the go-
downs, whils men who but twenty months
a,go were In a state of affluence now haunt
the clubs and "damn" the Japanese.
In Great Britain , and . the eastern por
tion of the United States, where people
have never come Into contact with the
Japanese except In Isolated cases, and un
der circumhtances which could not pos
sibly afford any Insight to their character,
the opinion prevails that they are all that
fs good, great and admirable. The ro
mance of a successful war, following as it
did on ths Idealism of poetic mystery In
which many writer had clothed Japan and
which had permeated the minds of roost
people, created a furore of admiration In
which It was impossible to utter or hear
any word of warning that the Japanese
like every other race of man are by no
mean perfect. y .
Trade Means Riches.
The contempt with which the Japanese
military and ruling castes formerly re
garded commerce has now vanished. They
now recognise that trade provide those
elnews of war of which they stand In so
great a need during their first effort toward
securing supremacy In the far east. They
are now determined to make uee of all
that aubtle diplomacy which la the ehar
acteriatio of the oriental, and combining
ft with apparently frank protestations ef
a candor which, though nonexistent In
reality, has appealed to the western peoples
with a force it is Impossible to estimate,
have set out again to achieve the end they
have In view. Silence, secrecy, masked
movements, masked batteries, rapid march
ing and the blow struck home without
thought of failure. Japan Intends to make
Japan the producing and also the distrib
uting center of the far east first. The gov
ernment of Japan has gone Into trade for
Itself, Its revenues from Its government
owned enterprise having Increased from
ILT.SuO.OOO In 1901 to IJT.SOO.OOO In 906. The
government of Japan is making in govern
ment factories everything that Its people
require and conaume and dumping Its sur
plus, by means of Ita government railways
and government steamships, on the ad
joining markets of the far eaat. Presently
It will be able to dump them farther afield.

Socialism. ,
KANSAS CITT. Sept. .-Vllllam J.
Bryan addressed an enormous atidi-.-noe In
Convention hall tonight. He completed his
campaign in Oklahoma lust nlirht iind hud
plnnned to reach Kansas City at 0:20
o'clock, but his train was more than three
hours late In arriving, nnd he was obliged
to hurry directly from the railroad station
to the linll. Governor Jos pli W. Folk srd
Senator William J. Stone also spoke. Promi
nent dmocrats from all over Missouri camo
to the meeting. Including nearly every
member of the democratic state committee,
which held a conference here this morning.
The gieat hall waa brilliant with decora
tions for the Iriets of Pallas festlvltle
next week and 25,000 American lings were
given out at the doors tonight.
Mr. Bryan's speech was a severe arraign- !
ment of the republican partv. He declared,
as In former speeches, that the things that
President Roosevelt has done which have
been popular have been in accordance with
the democrats policy, what the democrntlc
party hd advocated for yenrs. He said:
They call me a socialist. The democrat,
todtiy are the only ones thut can se.ve this
country front socialism. The republicans j
denounce and abuse soclalistn. The demo- 1
crats prevent socialism. They use harh !
words toward the socialist. We do not. i
The socialist Is an hopest man. There is !
this difference republicans, between the '
social let you abue ami the plutocrat you
embrace. The aoclallst Is working for tho
people, and th plutocrat Is worklna- fo
himself. Socialism lins (frown under re
publican rule. Republican rule has built
It up. X believe, that socialism Is wrong, ;
but the socialist' denounces abuses that
never should have been allowed to exist :
In this country.
STRUGGLE OVER "WIRELESS"

BERLIN. Sept. I9.-Speclal Cablegram
toThe Bee.) The International wireless
congress In Berlin In October will be the
scene of a bitter diplomatic struggle with
GVrmany and England arrayed as chief
Antagonists. The Germans expect the
English government's delegates to make a
strenuous fight against any regulations
which seek to curtail the Marconi mono
poly. The Germans w.l contend for the
"open door" In the world of wireless com
munication, which. It Is asserted here, the
Marconi Interests are determined to nullify.
The Germana assert that Mr. Marconi
has apent busy weeks recently in the Euro
pean capltala seeking diplomatic support
at the conference for his monopolistic am
bitions'. The delegate to the congress
from the United Elates are counted upon to
support Germany on decisive questions, as
the American government has given large
order for German wireless apparatus for
Its warships and naval stations.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-tflpecial Tele.
gram.) The stars and stripes once more
files over Cuba and In all probability never 1
to come down. Throughout these dispatches
your correspondent has endeavored to keep
ln touch with the Internal political condi
tions of the inland since the first outbtetk
against Prpeildent Palma'a government and
the ending of Secretary Taft and Assistant
Secretary Bacon, as American mediators to
fix up a permanent peace between the war
ring political factions.
The failure of President Roosevelt's me
diators to induce President Talma to re.
main in office and to patch up a truce i
now history. The flag of the United States
went tip over the capltol of Cuba today
and by this) time next werk there will be
15,000 soldiers wearing the uniform of Uncle
Sam in one of the most beautiful and pro
ductive Islands of the seas to protect not
only the commercial Interests of our citi
zens, but those of every other country-
In the clubs and In the hotel lobbies to
night soldier and civilian alike agreed that
this time "Old Glory" will slay "put" over
Cuba. It may take blood and treasure to
keep It there, but it aer-ms to be our des
tiny to act as the big policeman of the
western hemlaphere.
Vote on Annexation.
Following Secretary Taft's proclamation
declaring himself provisional governor of
Cuba' and Inventing the .Island with United
States troops, It Is confidently predicted
there will be a meeting of the commercial
bodies In the various cities throughout the
island, together with the agrarian groups
In the country provinces, for the purpose of
discussing annexation. As a result of this
discussion a well known Cuban politician
said to your correspondent tonight, a ple
biscite will be arranged for and a vote for
annexation be taken, which he predicted
would be S to' 1 in favor of . merging the
Gem of the Antillee with the American
states. It is further predicted that both
the sugar and tobacco interests will com
mence a campaign for annexation which
cannot help but prove effective m conjunc
tion with other commercial Interests now
on the island. Sir William Van Horn, who
la building a line of railroad through the
island, is suppoeied also to have had a finger
in bringing about American Intervention. .
"Whatever the cost," as a politician put
it today, "It seems that the American
people want to own Cuba, an island whose
purchase almost every American president
since Andrew Jackson's time has urged."
For the present troops in the vicinity
of Newport News and New Orleans, will
be called upon for Cuban service, but
should a bushwhacking and mauradlng
begin on the part of the revolutionary
forces then a larger force of Infantry and
cavalry will he thrown into the Island.
Up to Quartermaster.
As now contemplated, about 6,000 men, all
both arms of the service, will be trans
ported to Cuba in the next ten daya, 'their
movement dependent wholly on the abil
ity of the quartermaster general's de
psrtment to secure transport.

Not only the carnival grounds, but all
the retail district of Omaha last night
was a veritable blase of glory. In the
maximum of their brilliant potency the Illu
minations wore turned on and vast throngs,
thousands of visltora to the city among
them, were upon the atreets until a late '
hour enjoying the gorgeous display.
The weather man proved exceedingly
kind to the thousands of loyal subjects
of the kingdom of Qulvora who wended
their way to the domain of Hi Majesty.
King Ak-Sar-Hcn, Saturday evening. After
a day of blustering wind, which gave
promlee of continuing throughout the
evening, the delightful conditions which
actually prevailed were doubly welcomed
and proved efficacious In bringing out the
largest assemblage since the gracious King
opened his arms to his faithful subjrets
and bid them make merry to their heart
content within the precincts of his oourt.
The crowds began to gather unusually
early, cars from all sections of the city
bring crowded even to the running board
as early as 7 p. m., and one conductor on
a small open car was seen to ring up
ninety-nine fares. The band at the en
trance to the promised land discoursed
subtle strains in the hope that the muslo
would charm the doubtful into separating
themselves from the price of admission.
' Meanwhile . the clans gathered, and It
was a noisy, good-natured crowd, full of
harmless gayety, and the rough feature
observed in the throwing of confetti the
previous evening - were considerably
abated. But It waa a forbidding counte
nance, Indeed, whose owner did not re
ceive his share of tho red, white and blue
mirth provoker, nnd any persona who were
SO rash as to attemnt to amnke their, nine
were forced to Inhale the fragrant fumes
of the confetti with which their respective
pipe bowls were Immediately filled.
All the booths within the grounds are now
filled and at HI anxious exhibitors cry "More
epace." but to no avail. The decorations,
which were supposed to have been prac
tically complete, have been materially In
creased by. exhibitors within the en
closure and also by many plibllc-minded
subjects of the great king. '
Saturday night the new Brandels building
was festooned with rows of Incandescent
lights and the Boyd theater searchlight was
generously used In lighting the path of the
pilgrim to the big show.
Too Murk Air for the Ship.'
The strong gale of wind which continued
durlnjf the entire day was a source of great
disappointment to Aeronaut Hamilton and
the proprietors of the concession, but It waa
even a. greater disappointment to the public.
as It wss hoped the successful Journey of
tho big gas bag on Friday would be equalled
snd possibly excelled In case an ascension
waa made Saturday. In fact the strong
wind so buffeted the balloon in Its cramped
confines within the tent, where it t
hourcd in the carnival grounds, that a small
hole was worn through on the tipper side
of the balloon, allowing fully half of the
hydrogen gaa with which It is charged to
cscaiie. Cold weather has a contracting
effect on the gas In the balloon and it was
thought at first the weather of Saturday,
waa causing the material shrinkage In the
else of the ship until thf odor of the gas
was detected and Mr. Hamilton immediately
got busy In finding the leak. Saturday the
bag was only bait Inflated and skilled work
men were busy repairing the rent In the
hope that the weather conditions today may
be favorable for an ascension.
Double Thriller Plnnned.
Owing to the general disappointment
caused by ths failure of ideal weather
conditions necessary to a successful flight
fit the airship, wnlch Is without doubt the
feature of this year's carnival, trfti manage
ment has decided upon a double thriller,
which will more than compensate for the
abaence of ascensions during the opening
days of the festivities. Monday afternoon
between the hours of 4 and 3, a double
ascension Is planned. A large balloon, of
the prehistoric period prior to the In
vention to the succemful airship by Mr.
Knabenahue, haa been obtained and will
be sent up at the carnival grounds at the
hour alated provided a light breete la blow
ing from the north or northwest. A young
woman aeronaut haa been secured, who will
acoompany the balloon on It, travel
seated on a trapeze.
It Is hoped the wind will be from a direc
tion that will carry the balloon toward
South Omaha, as it Is dosired to give the
populace of that city an opportunity to
view the event. After the balloon haa pro
ceeded to a point near South Omaha the
airship, with Mr. Hamilton In command,
will be aent after the fugitive balloon and
Mr. Hamilton hopes to be able to take the
balloon in tow and bring It back to the
starting point. In cass the weather make
the trip Impracticable Monday evening the
trial will be made at the first favorable
opportunity thereafter.
Many View the Ship.
The airship had many visitor Saturday
evening, but it waa a typical Saturday
evening gathering. The crowd seemed to
express the sentiment set forth In Urge
letters above the booth of the Woodmen
of the World, "WOW, but Wens Having
a Gay Time."
The gamea of chance were all kept bausr
raklng in the nheckela as young men est
verdsnt tendencies vainly attempted ta
ring a knife, while other were bent on
j ooiaining a v-ce in wi ui 1 1 tu y ior cenia
on the various wheels of fortune. The
Kataenjamraer Kaetle continued to attract
the erowds a the feature ef the eniaa-
