READY FOR THE STATE FAIR Orowds Gathering at Lincoln for the An- nnal Bxhibition. INDICATIONS THAT MANY WILL ATTEND Somo of the Municipal Restrictions on Mer- chunts Suspended by the Mayor for the Occasion— LINCOLN, Sept. 8.—(Special to The Bee.)— The annual influx of sight seers has begun to flow into the city, and today the streets are alive with country visitors, Almost every street corner has its fakir or fruit vendor with a flaunting banner by day and a flariog ligit by night. All restrictions have been taken off by the mayor in the matter of signs, and everybody who has a meal for 16 cents or a suit of clothing at half price has suspended in front of his place of bus- iness a banner proclaiming the fact In gorgeously colored letters. All sorts of bus- iness men lave been counting on the week and have made preparations accordingly with gally decorated windows and goods marked down to haif prize. As special aftractions the resorts of the city have secured balloon men, high divers, rope walkers and all sorts of mountebanks, The theaters also are crowd which may or with the best prepared for the may not materialize attractions obtainable. The Funke, which has been so decorated and beautifled as to be almost unrecognizable, will on Wednesdlay evening have its grand open- ing, with Roland Reed in the *Woman Haler” us the drawing card, to be followed the rest of the weck by some other attrac- tions. The Lansing, among other attrac- tlons, anncunces Grifiith’s “'Faust.,” in which Lincoln takes a peculiar interest, it being under the management of the manager of the house, At the fair grounds order is rapidly grow- ing out of chaos, and when the fair really opens for the spectators on Monday there will be as fine a display of the resources of the state as one would wish to see. The list of entries {s far In excess of that of any previous year. In Agricultural hall, where the varlous counties of the state will show just how bad the drouth has been, there is not an inch of unoccupied space and the exhibitors are busy placing the exhibits in the most attractive form. An army of the usual fair followers, popcorn and lemonade venders, rcfreshment stand employes and the like, is at work erecting the hooths where they expect (o reap a fortune, and the clatter and bustle and confusion is &imply bewilder- ing. The art hall this year will undoubtedly far surpass in attractiveness its appearance in any previous year and the hulk of the ex- hibits are the work of Lincoln though almost every county in the state has done its share. Only a very few booths are left in the live stock department and applications are being recelved for these. COMMERCIAL CLUB'S NEW QUARTERS. The new building of the Lincoln Commer- cial club is approaching completion and the members are congratulating themselves that when it is opened they will have the pleas- ure of showing to visitors one of the hand- somest and most completely equipped com- merclal club houses in the west. The build- ing Is located about halt a block east of the Capital hotel and could hardly have been better designed for a club house if it had been built for the purpose. It has been handsomely decorated and provided with a library, reading room, billiard room and ali sorts of offices and private apartments. It is expected that the new house will be ready for opening during the week of the fair. At the last meeting of the committee the question of preparing some definite and re- sponsible replies to some of the stuff now appearing in the eastern papers about drouth-stricken Nebraska was taken up and a committee was appointed to look up the matter, with Chancellor Canfield as the chairman of the committee, Chancellor Canfleld explained to the com- mittee the conditions under which the Uni- versity Conservatory of Music had been es- tablished. From the beginning of his con nection with the university he had recognized the desirability of enlarging the work In music, as well as In all other departments. The establishment of a complete school of music in comnection with the State univer- slty, he felt, had a far reaching import. Heretofore all those who had desired extended study along musical lines had been obliged to go farther east. The expenses of such work had been great and many students had hesitated because of the distance between themselves and thelr homes. The university is entitled to a college of fine arts by the statutes of the state. As soon as the library bullding is completed the art department wiil be transferred there and on the third floor will have rooms and equipments more com- plete than those of any other school in the west. The expansion of the department of music into a full school must necessarily keep pace with this movement in art, in order that the two together may form the college mentioned. The management of the present conservatory is in the hands of Prof. Kimball, who has™ been appointed director by the regents. The bullding and its equip- ment, which on October 1 will represent an expenditure of at least $30,000, is the private venture of the director, DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. Sometime yesterday afternoon thieves en- tered the residence of Mrs. I . Pierce by means of the back door and got away with a lot of silverware and clothing and a small sum of cash. About the same time the residence of J. B. Tanney, at 430 North Fourteenth, was also entered and com- pletely ransacked, the thleves capturing a diamond scarf pin, a gold watch and a lot of clothing. The thefts were reported to the police and in the evening a couple of officers captured three men supposed to have been guilty In a salocn. While one of the officers held them huddled in a corner his companicn _went out to call the patrol wagon. Whila the officer stood guard a confederate rushed in and grasping the hand of the officer with great friendliness tried to shake it off. During the operation two of the men made their escape, LINCOLN IN BRIEF. At the meeting of the Lincoln Labor club last night the principal speaker was C. W.

The matter is practically settled, un- less Father English contends that his new mission does not afford a living, and in that event the burden of proof rests with him. N EYE-OPENER. The priests of the Lincoln diocese, ticularly those attached th graphs to the charges against Bis! cum, are given what might be eye-opener by the failure of the Hastings mission to Washington. It was hoped the dolegate would | his authority and protect them from the wrath of the bishop But, as the delegate professes to have no power in the premises, they will be obliged to take whatever medicine the bishop may preseribe and compound Another important fact the interview. When Mgr. Satolli was ap- pointed delegate to the United States, his coming was hailed as the beginning of the end of the missionary system. It was gener- ally regarded as the preliminary step toward the institution of canon law, which provides a comprehensive system for the determina- tion of ecclesiastical litigation. Now, the del- egate declares he is not here to institute new laws, but to interpret the laws as he finds them. “These laws,” said a clergyman of the Lincoln diocese, “'were drafted by the bishops, and were so drawn that they might drive through them when necesasry, or ig- nore them entirely. The truth of this state- ment is shown by the fact that the laws, such as they are, were promulgated only last waek in the diocese of St. Lou VIEWS OF A PRIEST. In response to the question, “What is the emedy?” the clergyman above quoted sald 1 will_review, briefly, what is necessary above afl for the success of the church in our country, and our troubles invite a care- par- ir ~ auto- op Borta- called an was developed by T ful consideration of such necessity: First, This is no longer a missionary country. The church is grand in this coun- We pay about two-thirds of Peter's pence—the money given for the support of the universal church Hence we are entitied to canon law. Most of the bishops are against this, as are the in- ferior priests, who would have to stand ex- amination for go>d parishes and bishopries. (2) Separation of church and state. No concordats; no conflicts. (3) The bishops should be nominated by the priests. For fourteen centuries such was the case. It is remarkable that the eleven apostles did not choose the ccessor of Judas, but the 120 disciples. When Ambrose went to Milan to address the Arlans and Catholics about the choice of a bishop, a child cried out, ‘Make Ambrose bishop.” The people caught the cry and called for him, though he was not baptized, but only a catechumen. He became a greai doctor of the church. During late centuries the policy of the church has been to permit govermments to suggest or nominate candidates for the episcopacy. But this is a government of the people, and priests are entitled to an effective voice In the selection of their superiors.” LIVELY CORRESPONDENCE. The status of the controversy in the Lin- coln diocese is shown by the following corre- spondence, the latest had between the com- plaining priests and Delegate Satolli: Apostolic Delegation, United States of America, Washington, D.

Reverentiae Vestrae, Addictissimus in X, X Archb'p Satolli, Apostolic Delegate. (TRANSLATION ) June 8, 1894.—Rev. Mr. D. G. Fitzgerald: In reply to your letter of the 27th of May last, I state the following 1. From the express canon law of the council of Lateran iv, ¢, 8 it s clear that accusations eaust not easily be admitted against prelates, but an extra judicial in- quisition was appointed to see that your complaints were well founded. 2. The mode of action of Rev. Corbett must be rejected under every respect; the reasons alleged by you for defending him are false and are repugnant to canon law. 3. The letters brought forward, which are said to have been directed by me, to certain priests who have appealed, and which are brought forward to support the resistance of Corbett to his bishop, should be shown to me, or a copy of them. I wish to call your attention to other matters: 1. That your own advocate asked you often, and waited a long time, that you might show him the arguments for proving each of the accusations, and you never showed them, 2. 1 myselt when I was in Omaha a year ago, found you unable to prove those ac cusations, about which I began to question you. 3. From many documents collectsd by the most reverend archbishop of Dubuque, the greater and the better part of the clergy and laity reprobate your action and give testimony In favor of the bishop. It is now time for this very scandalous business to end, which has been a grave injury to the church and dlocese, Your reverences, most devoted in X, X. F. ARCHIEPTS SATOLLI, Delegate Apostolic. REPLY OF THE PRIESTS ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH, SOUTH AU- BURN, Neb,, June 28, 1804.—Most Rev. F. Satolll, D.D. A.D.: May it please your ex- cellency, the following is tter of the 1. Your excellency entertained the cha the reply Sth Inst came to Omaha and gos against Bishop Hon- to your acum; you did not carry on an extra judiclal inquisition, as you promised to do in due time. 2. Rev. Corbett was not being tried for canonical delinquencies, therefore it was un- necessary to allege reasons for defending him, and hence your excollency (s in error. 3. The “alleged letter was written to Father Crowley in August, 1892, in which it stated that the apostolic delegate ‘“‘would have sustained his cause If he had remained in his parish, but, as he had left his parish he could not help him." Your excellone: never asked for a copy of this lotter. The sald letter was forced into evidence by Bishop Bonacum in the civil court in Ne- braska City June 13, 1894, Bishop Bonacum produe two letters from your excellency, contrary to the sald letter, which caused the judge to remark: “This Satolll i an extra- ordinary man; he is trying to ride two horses going in opposite directions at the same time; le should have put an ond to this matter in Omaha last year.” Decatero, ete. 1. Qur advocate wrote home and said: "It would have been neces for me 1o go to ebraska and personally gather the evidence and conduct the case. This I cannot do at present; besides, it would cost the priests a great deal of money. The case is one of unusual magnitude and will require an un- usual amount of attention. Und:r all these rcumstances I think you will see that 1 could not continue the practical management of your case. . Yet your excell:ncy stated at that time to us that the only remedy for the diocese of Lincoln was the removal of Bishop Bona- cum, and you would advise the holy father to_that effect 3. Archbishop Hennessy was an unwilling and partial investigator, as is prov:d by your letter to Dr. Smith of December 1, 1893, in which you stated you had ordered him (Bishop Hennessy) to apply his authority and solici- tude to the Lincoln difficulties, “‘and demand f the hop the requisite in tiga- tion.""

S.—Governor Markham this afternoon appointed a mill- tary court of inquiry to investigate the con- duct of the state militia of this city during the recent strike. At least one company, it will be remcmbered, failed to obey orders when commanded to advance upon the strik- ers who swarmed in and around the rail- road depot, and subsequently that company and two others were withdrawn from the field. The whole state militla has since been imbrofgled in a bitter dispute, charges having been made that the companies whose honor Is In question were mot at fault, but that the blame should be laid at the doors of the commanding officers, whose lack of management resulted in the troops going into action suffering from hunger and ac- tually exhausted from the extreme bot weathcr, to which they had been unneces- sarily exposed.

As none of the railroads were prepared to agrea to this demand, there was nothing for them h to do but adjourn.

The Union Pacific's position {s well known. If the other roads 8 can agree we will not throw a single thing 3 in the way of their reaching a satistactory conclusion. ~ We will await the action of the committee and then if the other lines can agree to accept the report the Union Paclfio will join in the general jubilee. Rail dits ferentials have hardly been discussed yet. [ am, however, inclined to the opinion-that the Canadian Pacific will come. in on alm y 28 proposition after the ocean differentials ars = settled. If the Canadian Pacific cannot get 7 per cent It would possibly take 5 per cent = or even 4 per cent. So far as the Canadian Pacific_differential |s concerned it canmot seriously interfere with the market, as scalps ing is not allowed in Canada. It would only = affect the extreme points of the system on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, and them only to a small extent. As for Chicago, St. Louls_and St. Paul gateways I question 3 very much if the differential would be felt. A “There was one resolution defeated at the meeting which was somewhat significant, 8 The resolution sought to apply to Portland =~ 85 the same differential as allowed via Tacoma, . Seattle and Vancouver. This might be res garded as a straw Indicating the feeling of the north lines. However, if the Northern = & Pacific, Great Northern and ‘Sco' Pacific can agres T have no doubt the Southern Pa- 5 cific and the Santa Fe will patch up thelr differences. The committee on agreement have been at work for two weeks and I fm- - agine it will take them two weeks more in which to formulate an agreement. Then the lines will have an opportunity of discussing the agreement in committee of the whole.” mmittee to Wage Sehoduls Wil ¥ ard Ootober 1.
