As to Germany, now passing through the i thraM nf a war wirh the socialists and an exciting election. It would appear ai ) though there ia no one In Rome, with the exception of Mgr. Oaspart, who knows any thing about the affairs of (Jet-many. Pope Leo XIII had been nuncio at Vienna, which Is. next to RL Petersburg, perhaps the beat training school for diplomats in the world, and he knew German and Ger man affairs. But Plus X krrbws no foreign language, not even the diplomatic lan guage of the world the, French. For this reason ha la almost a child in matters dip lomatic. Tha days of Herr Wlndthorst are gone. Even the papal nuncio at Munich ia politically a aero. BIG RAILWAY SYSTEM (Continued from First Page.) Its receipts are enormous. It also pos sesses printing presses and haa been re sponsible for the translation and the cir culation of the Catholic Bible In all coun tries anall lands. Cardinal Gottl. the prefect of the propa ganda, haa ust celebrated his jubilee. Among the Innumerable glfta which reached him from the ends of the earth the one which touched him the most was the album Bent Jilm by the Society of Dock Laborers of Genoa In memory of his father, who was himself a dock laborer and one of the founders of the Dockers' union. Iatrlgaes of Rations. The chief cause of the lack of dtplomatlo fact, to phrase It mildly, lt connection with tha handling of the detatla In connec tion with somo of the International ques tions, would appear to be the misunder standings which have made it almost. If not quite. Impossible for Cardinal Gottl and Cardinal Rampolla to do much toward straightening out these international com plication.. It is not fair to say that Plus X la to be blamed for thla; It is not fair to say that the cardinals themselves are to be blamed, Perhaps the fault lies to a largo extent in the Intrigues ' which are still going on among the different nations themselves. It would appear to be a mis fortune that Cardinal Gottl'a Influence can not make Itself felt In the counsels of the Vatican. He Is accused of being too Ger man by France, while Cardinal Rampolla Is accused of being too French by Ger many. The result of all this la that these two men, perhaps the brainiest among the college of cardinals, have bost lost a grasp on the situation. If the cardinals of any country may be said to have an Influence It la the cardinals of Bpatn. And yet so little diplomacy haa been manifested n dealing with the detailed affair' of the church In Bpalav that, with a monarch per haps the most Catholic of all of the rulers of Europe, even In Spain there Is a fer ment which may lead to a repetition In that Catarrh of the Stomach and the determination of the point of de marcation between the railway line to the northwest, which Russia retain and the section, which it has consented to allow China to redeem and band over to Japan. It waa decided at Portsmouth that the city of Kwan-chen-tso should serve aa the point of demarcation between the two lines and that Japan might construct a line to Klrln, either from Kwan-chen-tse or any other atatlon that might be In Its posses sion. Improvements In China. Meanwhile Improvements In China go for ward with remarkable rapidity. The thing that haa caused the most excitement In Pek ing for a month Is the opening to the new bridge to accommodate the Peking tram- cars. Peking already ha considerable of a tramway aervlce, but now that the bridge haa been opened negotiation have been completed for the extension of this tram way service. A new line is about. to be constructed through the French concession on the Bund to the Japanese concession, and the rails will eventually be carried as far as Tien Tsln If terms can be arranged with the British, German and Russian municipalities. According to Information received here the Importance of Dr. Von J-e Coq's dis coveries In northwestern Turkestan, waa un derestimated In the first of the reports re ceived. This German expedition waa at Turfen, about flrty-two degrees, latitude, for seven months, during the first three of which Its work was In vain. Then Partus, the assistant stumbled upon veritable treasure trove. There were great finds of manuscripts. This must have been the very meeting plaoe of nations and tongues. Where most of the others lived together In peace the enemy, the ruthless destroyer (In addition to the desert sand) would seem to have been Confucian China. Some terri ble things were found, for example the packed bodies, still clad of Buddhist monks, who had been driven into certain temples and stifled there as in a black hole more than a thousand years ago. These Chinese conquerors had a furious seat against Bud dhism. The wall paintings on plaster, re moved by the German expedition had often to be skilfully hardened out by Burtus be fore they could be cut away. They most frequently represent Buddha. This art la thought to prove the missing stepping atone by whloh Indian art advanced across Asia to Japan. i NEBRASKA FROM DAY TO DAY Qoalnt and Cartons Features of Life la m Rapidly Growing! State.
