Count AndrMir and Coent Aopoayl
Said Have Disapproved Coarse
of Former Associate la
Cablact.
VIENNA, March I. (Special.) Hungarian
politics have now sunk to bo low a level
that It would be preferable to avoid refer
ence to them for a time were it not prob
able that from the scandal by which they
are characterised developments of lasting
political importance may spring. There Is
a difference of opinion, not to say hos
tlllty, between members of the cabinet, and
It has reached such a point that Count
Andrassy, minister of the Interior, with
the support of his own party of the clerl
cals and a large section of the Independence
party secured the adoption of a motion
brought forward by M. Zoltan Lengyel not
withstanding the opposition of a minority
formed br M. Kossuth, minister of com
merce. and another section of the inde
pendence party. The new minister of Jus
tlce, Dr. Qunther, a protege of Count Ap
ponyl and a member of the Independence
party, voted with Count Andrassy.
It will be remembered that the chlof
cause of the resignation of M. Polonyl. the
late minister of Justice, was the publica
tion by M. Zoltan Lengyel In fac simile of
a letter which M. Polonyl, as member of
I he executive committee of the coalition,
jad written to a Hungarian lady of doubt
ful antecedents formerly living In Vienna
and supposed to possess certain rela
tionships with personages of the court
Immediately after the publication of the
letter M. Polonyl stated that Count Julius
Andrassy and Count Albert Apponyt hod
known of his corrfpondenc with the lady
In question. An Indignant denial from
Count Andrassy caused M. Polonyl to
shuffle out of this statement Count Ap
ponri also declared that he had not ap
proved of M. Polonyl's methods of securing
information from the court. Count An
drassy assumed thenceforth an attitude of
scarcely disguised hostility toward M. Po
lonyl and let It be known that he would
rot continue to stt In the same cabinet
with him. The adherents of M. Polonyl
therefore regarded Count Andrassy as the
Chief if not the Immediate author erf M.
Polonyl's downfall. ' .
Keanlk with Poloayt
Before resigning offloe M. Polonyl took
proceedings for libel against M. Zoltan
Lengyel. but appears to have profited by
his last, hour of power to order an exam
ining magistrate to collect sworn evidence
from sundry witnesses ostensibly la sup
port of an application by the' Judicial au
thorities that the parliamentary immunity
of M. Zoltan Lengyel should be suspended
In view of the action pending against him.
The first of these witnesses was the lady
mentioned Baroness Bchonberger who has
since been expelled from Budapest "as a
danger to public morals." Whether her
evidence was spontaneous or was colored by
the suggestions of the examining magis
trate working on behalf of his chief there
are no means of ascertaining, but It Is re
garded as singular that she should' hare
accused a leading adversary of M. Polonyl
of having obtained from her the compro
mising letter subsequently published by M.
Iengyel on the plea that the minister of
the Interior, Count Jules Andrassy, and
his under secretary of state. Count John
Hadik, desired to see It. i. More singular
still was the publication of thla secret
evidence In M Kossuth's official organ, the
Budapest. M. Kossuth, It should be said,
has cons'antly sided with M. Poionyi.
Count Andrassy and Count Hadik emphat
ically deny the statements of Baroness
Bchonberger as published In the Budapest,
and that Journal has made a seml-retrao-tlon.
It hast however, attained Its and M.
Polonyl's object of Increasing the bitter
ness in the Andrassy party against the
Kossuth and Polonyl section of the inde
pendence party.

'LONDON. March 8. The British govern

of the reduction of expenditures on arma

peace conference at The Hague.
Although there have not been any formal

officially consented, but with many powers

Oermany will offer any serious opposition,
although the German officials. are believed
to be skeptical regarding the results of
such a doclslnn. Great Britain, on the
Other hand, believe that much good will
follow therefrom and this view is shared
by other powers.

ROME, March t (Special.) The Roman
forum used to be spoken of a the battle
field bf time and the charnel house of the
nations and a camp of ruins and an an
tique stoneyard. All of these titles are
Justified by what the forum presents to
dsy; but there are many other sites, both
In Rome and the land around It, to which
similar descriptions may well be ap
plied. Th workmen digging for a drain or sewer
In the Via Ludovlca Muratorl a short time
ago brought to light two great blocks of
marble columns one of that dusky-hued
marble known as "Afrlcano" and the other
of that Phrygian mnrble known as "pavo
nasetto." with the hue of clotted blood on
a dark brownish ground. These evidently
belonged to some rich Roman residence of
the days of the republic.
Fragments of epitaphs and of honorary
inscriptions are numerous and met with In
all sorts of places. In the area between
th Via Ventl Settembro and the Via
Golto there were found some remains of
constructions In squared masses of tufo
belonging In all probability to sepulchral
monuments which bordered the highway
that left Roms by the Porta Colllna. These
are nameless monuments, but their bulk
and style proclaim that the persons for
whom they were built were of Importance
In their day.
A better fortune has accompanied that
member of an ancient Roman family whose
funera) Inscription engraved on stone and
found in the Plasza del Planto makes It
evident that he belonged to the noble fam
lly of the A el II Lamlae.
Old Road Discovered.
The ever-enduring character of Roman
roads may be deduced from the condition
of a portion of an ancient street discovered
to a considerable depth below the present
level of the Via Monte Brlanio. This road.
untrodden for centuries and constructed In
all probability prior to th Christian era,
ran close to the Tiber bank, and It was
In making an excavation near the embank
ment of th river that this long-lost road
was brought to light. A portion of another
ancient street was discovered In th Via
Galvanl and beneath it a portion of the
leaden pipes . that ran under the street
These are frequently found In th ruins
of villas . and ancient, dwellings, and as
they bear name on them they frequently
local the realdenoes of th great one of
the empire.
. Thus it is mostly , th ruins of tombs or
material belonging to graves that ar re
vealed by th spade of the workmen.- Rem
nants of streets are naturally more rare.
Monuments of a religious character gener
ally deduced from the inscriptions found on
them ar occasionally found. An Interest
ing specimen of thla class of Inscription
was found on a marble architrave nicely
carved. The votive inscription was to the
demigod Hercules and It was offered by a
certain P. Elius Hlero, freedman of the
time of the Antolne emperors the seoond
century who filled the offices of Chamber.
i lain, Introducing the guests and the vis
itor Into the imperial palace. This Inter
esting record of a dignified court official
of eighteen centuries ago was found at
the farm of Tor Manclna, seventeen miles
from Rome on the Via Solaria, amongst a
series of walls and ruins that at one time
evidently formed a rich suburban residence.
This conjecture, founded on the character
and extent of th walls, is confined by the
discovery there of the floor of an apart
ment formed of mosaic.

When one goes out from the city of Rome
Into the campagna or country which sur
rounds the city and looks upon the grass

require an effort of the Imagination to

And yet you have but to remove th earth
a little and then you see sjlgns of a one
vigorous life lying before your eyes.
The pope has Just received the Roman
committees which are organizing the festi
vals in connection with the Jubilee of his
priesthood, which occurs in 1808. The com
mittee Is composed of 100 prominent person,
ages comprising . the clerical aristocracy
and distinguished ecoleelastlc from all n
Mens residing here, also an international
committee of twenty women. The pope de-
' Ilvered a short speech, aaying that the
church will stand all persecution and rec
ommended the committee not to Indulge in
great festivals for his Jubilee, but to era
ploy the funds collected for new churches
In Rome. Those present were disappointed,
as the pop did not speak about the situa
tion In Franc, as they expected, especially
after the pope' rejection of M. Briand's
recent circular.

PARIS, March I. (Special-) The scene
that occurred at the first mass of the
French Catholic Apostolic church In Paris
on a recent Sunday under the auspices of
Mgr. Vllatte have been the sport of the
city ever since. On amusing incident In
the many ridiculous occurrences was as
follows: A group had already shouted as
Vllatte was beginning to apeak, "Silence!
Tou are excommunicated 1" and after a
while when reproaches had been exchanged
between the would-be archbishop and the
crowd, one man who meant business cried,
"Sir Bishop! I have still this aocount which
you should pay. It goes back over a year
ago, before your departure for America.
If you are going to pay me I will pass
around to the office."
But Justice was not done to the man
who really had a charge against Vllatte
for the rush of th people drove him back,
and a policeman removed him from the
church, so that he did not reach the bishop.
Many Interesting statements are made
concerning this man who Is the "Playboy"
of Paris at the present moment Vllatte
was born at Paris of Catholic parents In
1S64; he apostatized from the faith and
after that he received minor and sacred
orders In Switzerland from Dr. Hersog,
the so-cHlled bishop of the sect of "Old
Catholics." In 1892 Vllatte went to the
Island of Ceylon and was there, he says,
consecrated bishop by the schismatic
Alvarez, who called himself a bishop; then
he went to the United States and Into
the diocese of Green Bay. He there turned
to Cardinal Satolll, then delegate apostollo
at Washington, to be admitted once again
Into the fold of the Catholic church, but
the pride and the pretensions of the man
brought a close to the negotiations. On
other occasions, however, he has sought
admission to the church.
The Figaro furnishes an account of this
Individual which shows him an excom
municate. In fact it furnishes a transla
tion of the text of a decree of the holy
office to this effect The priest Paul
Mlraglla, of the diocese of Pavla, says
this document, but residing at Placenza,
has been excluded from the communion of
the faithful after canonical monition on
the 15th of April, 1R96, on account of numer
ous and most grave accusations and enor
mous scandals. But, not having Improved
and becoming worse every day, be pushed
his temerity and pervertlty so far as to
confer at Placenza with a heretlo of the
name of Joseph Rene Vllatte, pretending
to have the episcopal character; the latter
had the audacity to publicly Invest him
with the episcopal robes and Insignia, as
If he were a real bishop. In order not
to leave such a crime unpunished and that
there ma? not be scandal through the
silence of suthorlty, the supreme congre
gation of the holy office declares that the
priest Paul Mlraglla, and his accomplice,
Joseph Rena Vllatte, have Incurred, by
causes repeated and multiplied, the major
excommunication reserved by the sovereign
pontiff according to the term of the con
stitution, "Apostollcaso Sedls." The mem
bers of the Catholic church are warned
to avoid them absolutely.

' Settleateata,
BERLIN, March ".-(Special.)- In the
lower house of the Prussian diet Count von
Arnlm-Crewen, Prussian minister of agri
culture gave details of some Interesting
experiments made by him and others In th
settlement of laborers on the land. He
said that the experiment showed that th
limit of settlement for each family should
depend on the lightness or th heaviness of
the soli, and that the proper quantity being
the amount which enabled the wife and
able bodied children to find an opportunity
of assistance on the settlement. He had
himself experimented In a small way by
giving each family on acre with an ad-
I dltlonal plot of potato garden. This proved
too small. He had come to the conclusion,
however, that the ten acres advocated by
some was too large. The average pro
portion appeared to be about four acres
on reasonably good soil.
Th minister referred briefly to experl.
ments In such settlement In England and
Sweden, the former having the larger num
ber, namely 100,000. He himself believed
one of the principle obstacles to the success
of the system was the too Immediate de
pendence of settler on the landlord, and he
would like to see greater independence.
The minister maintained the latter despite
expressions of disapproval from a number
of land owners present In the house.
PRINCESS WEDS PEASANT

BERLIN. March .-(8pclal.)-A great
stir Is still being caused in German high
society by the marriage of Princess Au
gusta Eulenberg, dsughter of the emperor's
favorite. Prince Phillip Bulenberg, to Herr
Emll Joralllnek, her fathor's former pri
vate secretary. Herr Emll Joralllnek Is a
Roumanian of pleblan birth, without means.
Princess Augusta, who is now U years of
age, fell In love with Herr Joralllnek at her
father's country house, where the two
young people seized clandestine opportuni
ties of becoming aoqualnted with one an
other. Prince Phillip offered resolute op
position to the unequal match, but finally
gave way and granted a reluctant consent.
He Is said to have granted the pair a
small annual Income of about 11.000 on con
dition that they remove to some distant
place and hold no communication with him
or other members of his family.
The princess loses her title and becomes
plain Frau Joralllnek. She sacrifices all
other privileges of her princely rank. Bhe
will, of course, be obliged to live far more
modestly than hitherto.

Chicago.
CHICAGO, March .John Alexander
Dowle died at 7:40 this morning at Shlloh
house, Zlon City. There were present with
him when he died only Judge D. N. Barnes
and two personal attendants. It hsd been
his custom all summer to hold religious
services every Sunday afternoon In the
parlor of Phlloh house. About 850 of his
original followers remained faithful and
attended these services. Dowle always
wore his spostollc robes and made a char
acteristic address. A few weeks ago these
meetings ceased and Dowle appeared no
longer in public. The Sunday meetings,
however, were still held by his adherents.
Since that time Dowle had been gradually
falling. Friday afternoon there were In
dications of approaching death. He re
ceived a few followers and prayed for
some people. His condition seemed to bs
about the same as for the last two or
three weeks. One ol the attendants re
mained with him until midnight and wns
relieved by the other attendant. Shortly
before 1 o'clock this morning Dowle be
came delirious and his talk was the same
as at a religious meeting In the days of
his prime. He denounced people with the
old-time vigor and Instructed the guards
to throw out disturbers and acted Just as
he had on many previous occasions.
Family Is F.stranaed.
He gradually became weaker and weaker
and the attendant telephoned for Judge
Barnes, who reached Shlloh house at 1
a. m. Forty minutes later Dowle died.
No arrangements yet have been made
for the funeral. The death of Dwle was
unexpected. A large number of followers
and others are gathered at Shlloh house to
jay their respects.
Mrs. Dowle, Judge Dowle. the prophet's
fsther, and his son, who are at Ben
MacDhu, Mich., have been notified and
are . expected at Zlon City today. Judge
Barnes, who was at the bedside of Dowle,
is a member of Vollva's council, but re
mained friendly to Dowle, believing him
to be insane and not responsible for hie
actions. Dowle's wife, father and son held
the same View and It Is therefore believed,
though they. were estranged, that they will
attend the funeral.'
Sketch of Career.
John Alexander Dowle was born In Edin
burgh, Sootland, May 26. W47. . In laflO his
parents removed to Adelaide. Australia,
where for seven years the youth was clerk
In a buslnes house. Here Dowle devel
oped the commercial Instinct that served
him so well later in life. He saved enough
money during this period to return to Edin
burgh at the age of 20 to take a live years'
course in theology and th arts. He be
came master of Greek and Hebrew and
cultivated a literary taste that resulted In
after years In a library of 10,000 volumes,
with which he was thoroughly familiar.
Six years" of denominational activity wor
ried Dowle. who longed for a wider field
of operation. He forsook his church and In
1878 went to Melbourne, where he set up a
free Christian tabernacle the first of Its
kind and organized a divine healing asso
ciation, which afterwards became inter
national in character. He became presi
dent of the association and gained fame
by going out Into the country during the
prevalence of putrid fever and apparently
effecting many cures by prayer and the
laying on of hands.
After ten years In Melbourne Dowle de
cldod to remove to England, where his asso
ciation had a number of branches, hut
the fates took him across the Pacific and
his announced intention of making Great
Britain world headquarters was never car
ried out.
Arrive la Called State.
Dowle landed In San Francisco in 1888,
needing money. He needed 1260 and had
Just told his wife he had "asked God for
it" He said when a man he had not
seen In months came along and put the
amount in hie hand. That was the starting
point In his wonderful money getting
Career In the western world. Two years
of wandering along the California coast
followed, and then In 18M "Dr." Dowle.
hi wife, his son, Alexander John Gladstone
Dowle, and his daughter, Esther, arrived
In Chicago, which was to be the theater of
his great work.
During the next five years Dowle was
arrested at least a hundred times for viola
tion of the city ordinances relating to ths
care of the sick, but the more trouble that
was made for him the more he prospered
In reality. Branch churches were estab
lished In other cities, a large hospital for
the healing of the sick was built in Chi
cago, and a college for the training of
missionaries wa organized, a printing plant
put In operation and a bank was also
started.
The Christian Catholic church in Zlon
City, the outgrowth of the original interna

tech DUntl.f.rtloa with Bill.
As matters stand now a good many of
th house members ur not wholly satisfied
with the primary election bill as recom
mended for passage, because It provide
for an open primary, and so far none of
the senators has expressed approval of t
Some of the senstors are not satisfied wife,
the King anti-pas bill, which th senate
ha recommended for passago, and a lot
more .re not satisfied with the anti-pasg
bill passed by the house, so aa a general
proposition there Is n whole lot of dis
satisfaction about a whole lot of thing.
There l not the least doi.bt that th
senate will reject or modify the open pri
mary, because it Is ald to absolutely ruin
the law, and then will come some tail side,
stepping In the house. It will be up to tho
republicans of course to accept the senate
bill and then the fuslonlets will charge
they have been double crossed, and If thost
republican member who have been set
down on take It into their heads to get
stubborn and refuse to take tho senate
amendments a lot of trouble wlU resulW
Of course by the speeches made by McMuW
len and others It looks aa though they are
for a state-wide primary which doea not
carry the amendments adopted by the
house, and to be comilstent they will
naturally vote for tho bill the senate send
over. Then if the fustonlsts Insist on the
other republicans keeping their agreement
to stand by the Open primary there will hej
more trouble. The indications are how
ever, that If the senate semis back a closed
primary; where each person voting must
say what party he belongs to and vote
that party ticket, the house will accept th
bill, agreement with .fuslonlets or no agree
ment Borne of those who made th agreement
with the fuslonlsts claim they bad counted
noses and found the bill could not gwt
through the house without a tleup with
the fuslonlsts. On the other hand, somo
of the republicans whom it was feared
would violate the platform pledges claim
they would have stood for the state-wide
bill no matter what their personal opinion
is on the matter. The leaders of the tleup,
they say, did not consult with them about
whether they would mipport the state-wld
primary bill and the nrst they knew of
any tleup being made with the fuslonlsta
was when the bill came up for discussion.
Cat la Appropriation Bill deeded.
Unless the legislature cuts down the ap
propriations and cuts deep Nebraska I
going to find Itself mortgaged worse than
It has ever been, for the appropriation
are away and beyond the dream of any
conservative business man. The salary bill
alone carries a total appropriation of $893,
600, against $773,730 two years ago, whil
the current expense bill carries a total of
$1,900,260. Two years ago there waa ap
propriated $1,910,947, showing a little de
crease this year. The total of the salary
bill and the current expense bill Is $2,793,
760 for the blennium. On a e-mlll levy,
based on a grand assessment of $321,000,000
for 1907 and $329,000,000 for 1908, which IS
the way the university regents figure It,
the total revenue to be paid the state for
the blennium will be $3.2SO,O0O. This will
leave for th deficiency claim bill, for th
claim bill and for all permanent improve
ments and special appropriations $466,940.
There Is serious talk of cutting out the
appropriation of $100,000 for the addition to
the Kearney Normal school and let that
institution worry along for two years mora
at least with the same capacity It now
has, and the same sentiment prevails re
garding the enormous amount of money
the university wante from the general fund.
It Is believed under business management
the university can well get along with what
money will be raised under the 1 mill levy
and there seems to be an Impression that
It Is not necessary to give the university
1 cent out of the general fund Hon. Peter
Mortensen, who probably know better
than any other Nebraakan the condition
of Nebraska finances, said the university
could get along well without taking a cent
out of the general fund, and he said also

Why the allowance for the attorney general

from $10,000 to $18,000 will also have to be
