gerous, certain circles In the Vatican are
trying to Induce the pope to take action
which will fully show to the world that
tha Vatican la not subservient to Ger
many. The steady Increase of strength made In
th Austro-Hungarian navy and the recent
order of the day Issued by tiie Austro
Hungarian Admiral Montecuccoll are being
made the basis of a press campaign . In
favor of an Increase In Italian armaments.
The object aimed at la desirable enough,
the Italian navy being undoubtedly In need
of more liberal expenditure, but It would
be well not to attach too much Importance
to exaggerated language used by Italian
newpspers In order to recommend such
an expenditure to the country. It la a
misfortune that even such serloua journals
as the Corrlere of Milan or the Btompa. of
Turin should feel themsolvet constrained
to adopt alarmist tactics In order to ef
fect a very necessary and legitimate end.
Lieutenant Acquitted of Old Charge.
The military court of Justice at Florence
has acquitted Lieutenant Modugno. Mo
dugno oommunJed a portion of the Italian
troops during tht war in China, against
the Boxers. He returned to Italy and was
charged with having murdered hla wife,
but was acquitted. Then he was charged
with Illegally appropriating enormous
riches In China through plundering and
killing several wealthy Chinamen. The
chief charge consisted of Slaving buried In
ooal a rich Chinaman. The fact was at
the time related by the papers, and there
was no answer to this last charge, which
caused a deep Impression.- Modugno ap

Queen Marglierlta, wfio Is on a motoring
tour In France, ia meeting- everywhere witii
a splendid reception. Her majesty's kindli
ness and gracious manner ia said to be
-winning hosts of new friends for Italy in
th republic. What la eonuldered the
- queen's greatest triumph la In winning over
Count Caatellane, the famous nationalist
deputy. It wil lie remembered that when
President Loubet visited the king of Italy
in Rome Count Castellane protested
against the visit, which he deacrlbnd as a
deliberate Insult to the pope. The count
who Is a very prominent member of the
Catholic party In France, has ao far
ameliorated his feelings with regard
to those whom he regards as at
variance with the Vatican that he In
vited Queen Marglierlta to his country
aeat and gave a splendid entertainment In
her honor. Th Incident has attracted
widespread attention in Italy.

contributing a series of articles to the
Cape Times descriptive of his experiences
In Portuguese West Africa. He declare
that a system of slavery extnts in all tiie

on the mainland.
"Men and women are brought from th--Interior,

ROLLING OF SHIPS TO CEASE
German Inventor Snrs He Has Device

Comfortable.
BERLIN. Oct. 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) A young German engineer, Herr
Otto Sohllck, is declared to have solved the
problem which long baffled inventive
geniuses hy providing a method for pre
venting seasickness.
This consists of an ingenious Invention
for preventing a slilp from rolling. Herr
Schlick's apparatus consists of a specially
cotmtructed turbine fixed on the ship's bot
tom, which, when set in motion, counteracts
any tendency to roll from side to side.
Experiments rook place the other day In
tha presence of the secretary of atate for
the navy, Herr von Tlrpltz, aboard an old
torpedo bout, the Seebaer. which was placed
at Herr Schlick's disposal by the German
naval suthorltles.
The Sebaer, a little vessel of 100 tons, put
to sr where the motion of the waves
csused her to roll nine degrees. Herr
Schlick's apparatus was then set in motion,
Whereupon the Seebaer rolled only one de-
groa.
Experts who witnessed the test declared
It sucuessful, but vesoived their opinion
whether the invention would be equally
applicable to large ocean-going -steamships.
In the case of the Seebaer the, .favorable
result was obtained without diminishing
the ship's buoyancy or seaworthiness. Herr

here.
Up to last June the government made
efforts to secure financial profit from It
holdings, but as Investigations showed that
disposing of government possessions not
needed for Its own use was against the
ordinances, this method was stopped. The
investigation was Instituted largely through
the activity of n large body of Springfield
cltliena in fighting the so-called Ice trust,
which. It was alleged, had taken the best
locations on the pond to the Injury of fair
competition. As the water shops pond Is
an Independent nource of local ice supply.

the United States army here, opened ne

Washington for the restoration of the prlv

here.
In taking the step, however, the govern
ment. It was pointed out. was not prompted
by any desire to oppose the so-called trust.
Brigadier Oeneral Crosier, chief of ord
nance, said: - "We have got to consider
what will be for the best Interests of the
federal governipent than for the Interests
of a small body of citizens."

I stand absolutely opposite on this propo

His speech at Columbus was In some
particulars like the speeches he has been
making elsewhere. He not only charged
the railroads with demanding exorbitant
freight rates, but he produced the figures
to show the people of Columbus how
they were discriminated against and how
they were being robbed. He compared
the republican and democratic plat fornix
and called special attention to the "we
believe." of the democrats and the "we de
mand" of the republicans.' He called at
tention to the denunciation of the rail
roads by the republicans for not paying
their taxes and the pledges made by the
individual republican candidates for the
legislature to enact a law giving power
to the railway commission to relieve the
people. These things were "demanded"
In the republican platform, he said.
He dcfotided himself against thu drn-i-prp
criticism of his stand on ITi pro
posed constitutional amendment creating
a railway commission. He referred the
people to tha World-Herald of a date late
in March when that paper gave, him
credit nnd endorsed him for his stand on
this proposition.
Bills In the l.rnlslntnre.
"Three bills were introduced In the house
relating to freight rates," ho said, "the
Bedford bill, the Caldwell bill and the
commodity freight rate bill. Karlv In the
session Benat' r t'ady h.id introduced a
commission bill in the senate, and I pro
posed a bill providing the governor, t lie
treasurer and the attorney general be em
powered to reducu freight rites. The rail
loads, did nol want cither of the houso
bills and the were killed. They did nat
i want the hill I proposed and that was
I killed. Then the Cadv bill was taken up.

In case the legislature, failed to define the
powers of the hourd that body would liavo

legislation to regulate freight rates. A
conference committee us appointed by the
senate and the house, and Instead of that
amendment ts-lng adopted a nonaensicnl
amendment was reported that the commis

would have power to do the thliiK enumer
ated aleove. Nothing was enumerate,!, :1rv!
I fought that bill, and I am not ashamed
of that fight. It waa passed, and it Is now
the duty of the voters of Nebraska to elect
a legislature which will give that commis
sion power to reduce freight rates. The
