Rarel ROUE, Fsh, ll-Spcil.-Th O-serv-avtore Romano, the prominent Catholic newspaper In th Sternal City, while It has a permanent heading cm the religious "Persecution la France." haa now put another permanent UUa Into use, "Th Protest! of ths Catholic World." Among tha protests mentioned In this way waa the very Urge gathering recently held In tha city of Naw Tork at the Hippodrome. Among trther meeting mentioned by- tha Osservatore Romano" may be mentioned tha following-! The Catholic, dtlsens of Washington. In meeting assembled, under tha presidency of Thomas J. Donovan, condemn the atti tude of tha French government to tha church and eipreee their respectful rym pathy to the holy sea and to tha Cathollo hierarchy of Roma. Tha municipal council of Cork tendered. In special session, their homage to tha sov ereign pontiff and tha expression of their sincere sympathy towards him on the oc casion of the brutal agmeswlon which Is carried en against tha Cathollo church In Franca, and It condemns in the most en ergetic manner tha work of tha French government In persecuting the French Catholics. Tha protest of the municipality has been sent by the Most Rer. Dr. OCal- laghaa. bishop of Cork, accompanied by a letter of his own to the sovereign pootirr. Tha Catholics cf Boston hare also en tered an emphatic protest, and to this pro test are appended tha names of the vener able Archbishop Williams and of his able con dint or. Archbishop O'OonneTl. The Osservatore Romano comments oil the fact that tha voice of Cardinal Gibbon has been raised with suoh Torre and strength against the Injustice of the French government towards tha Catholic, and It tins carried such weight with It that the French ambassador at Washington felt tbe necessity of notifying hi government of the matter. Another nrotest from Ireland Is recorded. t I. ,. nf the 'munlclDel council of Oueenstown and Is signed by Jamas M. : Campbell, secretary. Tha council solemnly "protests against tha violence dona by the French government to tha archive of tha nunciate at Paris and tha expulsion of I Mgr.- Montagnlnt One of tha most Inters esting of Americsn protests is that from ' tha diocese of Newark, as the maker hare sertf a copy of t M- Clemeneeau. amongst other!

Tha late Dr. Lapponl. physician to tha pope, had shortly before his death written a letter on a fresco In Oubbio which was deecrlped. as a representation of tha holy hous of' Lore to. Dr. Lapponl oontended that the fresco had for Its subject St. Francis Asslsl casting himself among tha thorns. Mr. Palocl-Puuguanl, who had carefully studied tha picture In Its place Lapponl had only seen Indifferent photo graphs of Jt held It for tha Loreto subject. Ths particular value of this picture to tha world at large Is not In Its artistic qualities, but In its date- Mgr. Falocl-Pu-llgnani writes an elaborate description of the fresco, which shows several scenes, one of which, the most important, is that In which angels, with their wings, are seen walking snd bearing up In their hand a . fcouse. And this house 1 prominent In t-b ., ether scenes. In one of which Is repre sented as having a campanlls or belfry In which are two bells, one abovs tha other. A grand figure of the madonna, surrounded by angels, is seen In -tha heavens abovs. There Seems, Indeed, no reason to doubt Mgr. PuUgananl' Interpretation of tha pic tures; It is what everyone would read from tha elements furnished by the fresco. Tha data at which this work waa painted Is of supreme importance. Mgr. PuUgananl says ha hopes to prove that In the year 13 this picture was already known, but ha cannot evidently determine how long It was la existence before that data. Us Is convinced that the translation represented here is that In which tha house was borne from Flumo to' Loreto it second transla tion. Qifi Flada atatae. Tha fragments of a status representing g "dtsoobolos," or disc throws', were un earthed last spring amidst the ruins of an ancient Roman villa at Caste! PorU.no, one i of the King of Italy's hunting grounda What lends an unusual Interest to this .discovery is tbe ' fact that according to t popular rumor it wail Quean Helena, the consort of King Victor Emanuel III, who had tbe honor of finding ths treasure. The royal pair were on their way to Castel Porxiano and ths queen stopped to watch ths excavators who were clearing out tbe earth that filled and concealed tha ruins .of as ancient villa. Tha king had left the carriage and, mounting a horse, proceeded In the direction of tha sea; tha queen re mained watching tha diggers. in a few minutes some white object was brought to light. Quern Helens, "with a leap sf Joy aad In a loud voice, waving her arms In the meanwhile, called to the kUig " He returned and ordered that the ' earth which wrapped up tha statue as It ware with a mantle should be removed. , Tba queen herself gave tha example work tng In tha ruins with such eagerness that shs soon had one hand scratched and - bleeding. With her royal assistance the torso of a discobolus was found. It Is heedless and Its limbs are eii!trjd- but soma of tba old world beauty of form still clings to It. Fragments of It have been found and these have been fitted to It. but no restoration t of missing parts has been attempted. The time that has eiapsed since last spring has been employed In fitting tha -fragments together. It Is now to be given to tha National Museum of " Rurue.

It la appar ent that the government Is determined upon Its course In creating a new college In Dublin university, the chief reason being urged that it wlU give an opportunity for bringing together tbe youth of the country during tha hours of study. The government proposes to build ade quate buildings, laboratories and scientific srparatus. Use will, however, ba made of the apparatus of the Royal College of Science and In that way it Is thought so large an expenditure of money will not be required. The new college will be entirely free from any kind of a theological test. Its gov ernors will be appointed In the first In stance by the crown and thereafter partly by the crown and partly by ths teaching stair and tbe graduates. According to the plan the Royal uni versity at Dublin will be dissolved and the University of Dublin will be turned into a national university for Ireland, which will Include Trinity college, Dublin, the new college In Dublin and ths colleges In Bel fast and Cork. The proposals have been received with mixed feelings at Belfast and. Indeed, throughout Ulster. Leading clerical and lay opinion, however, la Inclined to ths view that tha new scheme Is feasible, although It' is expected strong protests will be mads against superseding tbe present sys tem so far as It permits young men to take their degrees while studying at home. No little curiosity is being evinced ss to bow the Roman Catholic bishops will finally act In the matter of tha proposals. Irish Uti Stock Trade. William Field. M. P.. has Just delivered a very interesting address before tbe com mittee meeting of tbe Irish Cattle Traders and Stock Onwers' association. During the ouurss of his address hs supplied soms figures which were very striking. A sum mary of tha official statistics showed that during ths year 100 Z2.6S7 sheep, M68 cattle and LOU pigs were Imported every day into the three kingdoms. Put In another form this meant that every hour during the year (48 sheep, lfl cattle and 41 pigs were landed In Great Britain. These figures at once gave soma idea of th tremndous foreign competition which those interested In tba, Irish cattle trade had to face. In addition. Mexico waa now about to send in supplies. Under present oondltlon Ireland could not hop to suocaasfully eopa with such ever growing competition. The first eaarntlal Is estimating tba prioa which farmers are expected to pay for their land and tha resultant annuity account should be I taken of this formidable and ever lncreas- j lng competition. But this waa not all. If tba Irish fanners are to live at all they must consider how this crushing competition can ba bast encountered. The foreigners have great advantages. They have land, either rent free or at a nominal figure. Tha foreign trade Is In many cases bounty fod. Against this the Irish farmers have the advantage of proximity to th market. If tha transit of this oountry were what It ought to ba this advantage might count handsomely In their favor. But under a railway system which encourages ths for eigner and discourages horns products, ths advantage of proximity to ths market prac tically disappears.

I am taklna them out to ths Southern Alps of New Zealand, where they will ba turned loose to breed. There la no reason why they should not do well there."

RUSSIAN ARTIST ENDS LIFE Daughter af Fernanda Devsyvd 'boats He-reelf When he Csssst Parage fsreer. PARIS. Feb. 16. Special. ) A young artist scarcely aged X years, whose father was a theatrical celebrity and whose god father ( was one of the crowned' beads of Europe King Carlos of Portugal com mltteti suicide In her royn In a little pen sion de famiHe in Parts. The story of her lle Is full of romance arid tragic adven tures. Her name was Mile. Fernando De voyed. She was a daughter of the famous Russian baritone, Devoyed, and a cousin of the well known actress, Mme. Susanna Devoyed. Her father. It may be remem bered, died suddenly some years ago at St. Petersburg while singing Rigoletto on the stage. She was then 17 years of age, but, though her father had a brilliant engagement and made fortunes with his voice, he left his widow and eight children In comparative poverty. Fernanda De voyed came to Paris to study singing, and was helped by her cousin and friends. But she was often In great distress and some time ago had wandered away from a home In the country where shs was placed and waa found shivering In the morning on a bench In the boulevards, where shs had spent the night. She was then banded over to the Assistants Publlque, which se cured her a small allowance. A woman at her death also left her a legacy, but her disappointment grew eut of the fact that twice she failed la has examination for admission to tba conservatoire. Though she had a good voloa her constitution was not strong enough for the lyrlo profes sion. She finally realised this and grew despondent. Finally she dressed herself In white and sat down to write a number of letters. She then went to bed and apparently slept for soma time, for one of the notes she wrote was as follows: "It Is now half-past 1 o'clock. How well I hava slept! A little more and I kill myself In the morning." On another sheet of paper waa written: "I have Just tried my revolver. I fired It off under tbe blankets so that nobody should hear. I did not manage It very well, but bye-and-bye to kill myself I shall use my two hands." About 8 o'clock ln'i the morning as ths maid was carrying up tea to the boarders a woman In the room adjoining that of Mile, Devoyed called her and said that she had heard a strange re port In her neighbor's room. The door was opened and tha young woman was found dying. She had shot herself through the heart, her hair was loose and her eyes open. She smiled faintly as the persons entered the room and a few minutes later expired. The last note she had apparently written was as follows: "I beg my friends to arrange my hair well when I am laid out. I want to look pretty In death. It la cold now. I am shivering. I am fright ened to feel so calm before setting out on the great Journey." HUNGARIAN WOMAN TALKS Cassplalalaig af Hot Gettlag Pay, Baraaess Sehoemberger Givas Away State Secret. BERLIN. Feb. 11 (Speclai.r-Ths. Baron ess Schoanberger, the Hungarian beauty who was said to be used by H: Polonrl. tha Hungarian minister of Justloa, to spy on Emperor Francis Joseph to find out his views 'on Hungarian affairs, haa created a great sensation by Interviews Vhlch she has been giving to tbe continental news papers. She claims t hava brought about tha famous audience of M. Kossuth with ths emperor ending' the constitutional struggle between Hungarians and tha crown. She says: "At this time I was as much at home In the empercr's palace ss In my own house. My real protector at court was th lord chamberlain. Prince Liechtenstein, and not Count Paar, whose name was given to spare the chamberlain.' The baroness declares that. In spite of the great political service which shs ren dered and the expenses to which she was put, 'which nearly ruined her, ' the Hun garian politicians never paid her the money which they premised. The baroness, when the newspapers spoke slightingly of her personal charms, pre sented herself at the offices of the various publications and offered to allow the ed itors t decide In person and declare to their readers whether she was handsome or not. All of the editors have apologised la this respect except one belonging to the elder "school of Journalism, and ha privately made the remark that ha would have been glad to apologise but that ba waa afraid of his wife. The baroness baa a varied past. After being barmaid, actress and professional beauty, she married Baron Schoenbergar, a Hungarian, ex-officer, for his title, she says. The baron, after being dismissed from the army, partly a result of ber escapades, became a cabman In Bddapest. It Is feared that many complications be tween the officials of Austria and Hungary will follow a a result of some of the state ments made by ths baroness. SWEDE HASANEW AIRSHIP laveatar Wallla Bays It Will Ba Cheaper Thaat Aay af tha Other. STOCKHOLM, Feb. M- (Special.)

The train left tha Grand Central station at 1:11 o'clock, drawn by two heavy elec tric motors and loaded with a matinee crowd of commuters on their way horns from business in the city. It' consisted of a combination baggage and smoking car and fiva coaches. After stopping at 125th street, the train was scheduled to run ex press to White Plains. At Woodlawn Road the four tracks run through a rocky cut and take a sharp curve. When the train. reached th curve It waa running at a speed estimated by some at sixty mile an hour. Both motors and ths smoking car swung safely around thecurve. but tho other cars left ths rails and plunging over on their sides with a terrific crash, tor up th tracks for 100 yards before they Collapsed., Of those instantly killed, by far th greater number were women. . Msny were mangled beyond recognition. Many of the Injured were quickly extricated from I tne wrecKage wnne otners were so pinioned I that they could not be taken out for some j time. Those most seriously 'injured were I hurried to hospitals, while coroners took charge of the dead as fast as the bodies were recovered. Fire started in tha over turned cars, but tha flame were quickly extinguished and ths firemen lent their aid to th injured. Special trains carried many of the Injured to White Plains and Mount Vernon, while others were brought lo hos pitals In this city. The rear car, containing more women than tbe others, suffered the greenest, as It overturned and before the breaking of tha coupling released It from the cars i ahead It was literally torn to pieces and broken bits scattered for 100 feet across I Woodlawn avenue. Many passengers prac ' tlcally uninjured tumbled from the cars I and hurried to telephones summoning aid. Th grain was In charge pf Engineer Ed ward Rogers snd Conductor John Wil liams. In the motor car with Rogers was Assistant Superintendent of the Division F. E. Williamson. Operating Inspector B. O. Stevens was also on board. Ramos as ta Cease. The causa of the wreck was not of ficially determined tonight. At the Grand Central station there was Inclination - to blame, the accident to spreading rails, but later It was said that It was believed that the sxle of the first passenger ooach broke. Leonard B. Green of White Plains, who occupied a reat In the smcker directly be hind th second motor, told the story of the train' approach to the Woodlawn Curve road. It was traveling at terrific peed, according to Mr. Green, though rail road men estimated by th distance the rvertumed car were carried that the train was making between 40 and 10 miles an hour. "I remarked on the speed," said Mr. Green, "when ws hit that curve and we Instinctively stopped playing cards and looked back. Suddenly ths car lurched to one side. In a moment we broke loose from ths rest of the train and we eould see th rear ears turning over." ' Stories by other survivor " were similar. Dismembered bodies were strung along for a distance of 100 yards. One woman was Impaled on a huge splinter from a railroad tie. Cars atrlke Third Rail. A sheet of electrical flame that signalled th disaster, enveloped the rear oar and for a moment threatened to roast the victim pinned In the derbls. The flame did not. j however, spread and the horror of a holo i caust was averted. As ths cars fed they I smashed the third ran. breaking the eur- rent and ending danger from this source. In tha crash, however, there was death for many, while practically every one In tbe four coaches received Injuries of some sort. Many were ground to piece and for hours Identification waa almost hopeless. As the cars went over many of the passengers were thrown Into or through ths window and out and mained. Shortly after midnight Coroner Bchwaa necker made a statement la which bs said: "I have takes possession of on of th rails and shall hold It for a technical ex amination. In my preliminary Investiga tion I found a defect In this rail, which Indicated one of ths drive wheels of the electrle engine hit ths rail at a point al most directly under ths Woodland Road bridge.

CRISIS IN FRENCH CABINET DlflTereaeee Over Feres af Chareh twatraets Will Probably tease Fall af Mlalatry. PARIS, Feb. 16. Just aa an agreement recording terms upon which the churches of France could be leasrd to the Catholic clergy . was about to be reached between representatives of M. Briand. minister of education, and Cardinal Richards, arch bishop of Paris an agreement involving a ettlernent of the most acute phase of th religious conflict- ministerial crisis ha loomed up on Ihe horlsoo. snd It Is now doub'ful whether Premier Clemenoeu's cabinet will survive the coming week. The premier left a sickbed today to at tend a cabinet meeting. He Insisted that the cabinet alone should not assume th responsibility of authorising the form of contract. The premier doubted that a parliamentary majority would spprove these contracts, and In any event he In sisted that Parliament must be given sa opportunity to express its opinion before the government commits Itself. The pre mier said he was fully aware of the plots of the followers of M- Combes and other groups, and as an old parliamentary fighter he argued that It was better to se cure the consent of Parliament In advance than to run the risk of being outvoted later. He declared also that he was rendy himself to go Into the chamber Monday and submit aft Interpellation on confidence In the government. It Is understood that M. Briand took sharp Issue with his chief after the adjournment of the cabinet. It Is declared that he Intends to submit his views to his colleague snd that Tuesday either he or M. Clemenoeati win resign. The situation Is complicated by the fact that the powerful financial Interests which bitterly oppose the Income tax scheme would Join eny combination to overthrow the pres ent ministry, and that the clerical right naturally would be overjoyed to dangle M-Clemenr-eau's scalp at Its belt. Extraneous Issues aside, however, a ma jority of Parliament and a majority of the country undoubtedly would support M. Brland's conciliatory policy, and If M. Clemeneeau falls either M. Briand or former Premlor Rarrlen is considered most likely to succeed him. At a late hour tonight a semi-official statement minimising the seriousness of the situation waa given out. Put In spite of this the beet Judges In parliamentary cir cles consider a crisis Inevitable. TESTIMONY IN ADAMS .CASE State Oatllaea Its Theory and Mother f Mardered Man Begins Her Story.

The prosecu tion's witnesses will, it Is stated, present mainly circumstantial evidence, backed by Adams' alleged confession of the murder. Tha defense will, it Is expected, resist th introduction of this confession on the ground that Sheriff Sutherland used Im proper means to obtain It and that If Adams made any confession to Detective McPart land It was made under duress and was untrus. The stat outlined Its theory f th mur der of Fred Tyler at this morning's 'ses sion of court. Attorney Knight, for the state, told how they went into th new Oountry near th St. Joseph river in the spring of 1904 snd took up a timber claim; how strife over the timber lands had arisen among the settlers, some of whom had banded themselves together to gain certain ends; how at least one settler had been warned to get out of the country. About August 10, the state alleges, Tyler went fishing, and on his way home stopped at the home of a neighbor named Phillips. After supper he started to his cabin and was never seen again till his body was found in the timber by surveyors, a bullet bole In the back of the akull showing the cause of death. The state ' proposed to show that Adams was In that region until a few days after the homicide and to In troduce evidence of a confession secured from Adams on different occasions without the use of fore. This confession Mates that on his way home from Phillips' housn Tyler met Adams and two other armed men; that they took him to a cabin and kept him tbere .over night, urging him to leave the oountry; that in the morning he was given no breakfast, hut was taken to the top of a hill and told to walk on ahead and as he walked away Adams raised his rifle and shot him dead. Mrs. Thomas, mother of the murdered man. was called as the first witness. She testified aa to his taking the claim snd as to the Identification of the body.

It All , Passed, Weald Carry the Total Way Above the Hlghvrater Mark. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Feb. 16. (.Special.) Th 1-cent passenger rate bill, which has been made a special firder for 2:10 Tuesiiuy afternoon, has boen the subject ol talk in the hotel lobbies today and it is likely a red hot debate will take place at that session. The fuslonists are beginning to get scared because the republicans sr to caucus and they fear hey will r.o longer be able to dig holes and shove ths majority Into them, as It is believed at tbe caucus an agreement will be made to rush the party pledges through ahead of anything, even though It be necessary to sidetrack the 1-cent rat bill and lev that matter entirely to the railway com mission. Some of the republicans, how ever, will fight this move until the last cow dies, and It Is a serious question If a majority of the republicans will stand for It. It Is possible the republicans muy get together on the Ned Brown amend ment, though some believe It equivalent to turning the matter ver to the com mission. This little embarrassment, how ever, ha had one good effect It seems, for a number of the republican have be gun to pay more attention to the mes sage of Governor Sheldon than they did at first, and some are beginning to realise If they had listened to his recommenda tions and paid heed to Ma speeches before the election there would have been no occasion for the present dilemma. Gov ernor Sheldon emphatically stated In his pre-election speeches that he did not favor the passage of a flat l-cent rate bill, but wanted that matter left so the state rail way commission could adjust It, the same aa freight rates. Governor Sheldon' belief, spoken publicly, was that while some road may not be able to stand the 1-cent rat others may be able to sell tickets cheaper than for I cents a mile. He wanted th people to get the greatest amount of benefit from ths change In rates, and he believed the railroads would be abls to defeat a fiat 1-cent rate In the courts. Regeats Weald Bay Books. According to a semi-official statement, the regents of the stats university are anxious to buy text books and sell or rent them to the students at cost. They are also anxious to hold open meetings and have Instructed their employes not to lobby for or against any measure now pending In the legislature affecting tha management of the university. This Information Is given . out by Fred Abbott, a member of th board of regents. . and he also said the board is anxious that the legislature amend the present law re lating to the temporary university fund so there would be no doubt of the rights of the regents to buy these text books and sell them to the students at coat Mr. Ab bott said tba reason ths regents had not done this before was because tha present law specifies the books shall be sold to th students at cost and tbe board could not figure out whether that meant th student was to get the books at wholesale cost to the board or should there be added to tha wholesale price the cost of handling th books. The board, so Mr. Abbott said, waa more than anxious to save the students aa much money aa possible, aa the members realised that many poor boys and girls attended tbe school and had to work their way through. He Is anxious, however, for th bill Introduced by Senator Ran-, dell, which provides a penalty if th re gents continue to violate the law regarding the purchase and sale of text books, s the regents will be allowed to rent th books tu ths students, as that will aav them mors money than selling then tbe ibook. .This chang of front on th part of th board of regents has come only after ons bill had been Introduced to compel then to hold open meetings and after anotb bill had been Introduced to foroe thm to buy text books and sell them to tha stu dents at cost. The latter Is now ths law of the state, but there Is no penalty clause at tached, so Senator Randall lias tacked on a penalty of a flr.e of from 1100 to 1600 for failure to enforce the law. As usual, ths meeting held yesterday waa behind closed doors, which fact inspired tbe men behind the bills to bring the regents to Urns to get Just a little busier. MaBlmnaa Rata on Oil. A bill will be introduced In th house soma time during the early part of the week fixing a maximum freight rat on olL This bill Is the result of the Investigation of tho Kansas oil proposition by a committee from the legislature. This committee received Information that the independent com panies of Kansas would sell oil In Ne braska for I cents a gallon and fuel oil for Vm cents a gallon plus ths freight rats. In Kansas there Is a maximum freight rut lsw which makes oil corns cheap; con sequently the Nebraska law will be pat terned after that At this time It Is said ths freight rate on oil ta Kansas for 2u0 or SOU miles la less then In Nebraska for fifteen or twenty miles. Should the bill be passsd tjid become a law the Kansas shipper wlU send his oil to the state line and then send it to ths first station on the Nebraska side. Tbe big haul then will be under ths low freight rats and the Inter, stale commerce laws will be sidestepped. Those workir.g on tha bill are Lieutenant Governor Hopewell, Senator Bltley and Representatives Quackenbuah and Con. They expect u have It ready by Monday or Tuesday. Raid aa Treaeary.
