PREMIER CRISPI DELIVERS AN ADDRESS Position of Veterans Talked at Length on th TOME, Sept. 20.—The fetes celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the entry of the Italian army into Rome, which began on the 14th inst., culminated today In the ceremony of the unveiling of the mounment of General Garibaldl on the Janiculum hill, in the pres- ence of the King, the royal family, the m fsters, and deputations of veterans who served under Garibaldl. The 50,000 people present displayed the utmost enthusiasm, The dec- orations of public and private buildings were of the most imposing and liberal characte Every mention of the names of Garibaldi, Italy and King Humbert was greeted w loud cheers, The English and American em- bessies had their flags holsted. The statue of Garibaldi is by the sculptor Gallori. It Is an equestrian bronze, welgh ing fiteen tons. It has been erected in the grounds of the Villa Corsini, upon an emi- nerce, with a granite base, on the four sides of which are shown four allegorical groups. The side facing Rome represents the defense of Rome against the French in 1848, The op- posite side shows the Garibaldians taking Galat Fima. The third and fourth sides exhibit groups symbolical of America and Europe Signor Crispl dilated upon the inherent an- tagonism of st anship and religion, argu- ing that those claiming the restoration of the temporal power are actuated by far more human motives than that of safeguarding the prestige of the city. The struggies incidental to political government, he said, would stifle all sentiment of veneration for Christ’s vicar, Italy has given an example for other coun- tries in renouncing ecclesfastical attribut and according the greatest respect to the liberty of the church. POSITION TO BE ENVIED. In the guaranty of spiritual autonomy the pope possessed an unassallable fortress which might well be envied by all the powers of the world and even by Protestants. The pope is now subject only to God. As a temporal prince his authority would be diminished, for he would then only be the equal of other princes, who would league themselyes against him. After 1870 Pope Pius 1X could not contend with Bismarck. Catiolics preaching rebellion should know that they are only as sisting anarchy which denies both God and the king. Signor Crispl concluded by fetes are not directed a nst the pope.

The old sold'ers in red shirts were loudly cheerel as they marchel through the streets, According to some es- timates, 100,000 people congregated upon ths Janiculum hill. The royal carriage moved through the crowd with the greatest diffi culty, the populace pressing about to sel the hands of King Humbert and Queen Mar- guerite. A tremendous shout went was withdrawn from the statue. Garibaldi- ans stormed and climbed the monument to deposit upon it flags and crowns of flowers. The scene was one of unu=ual emo‘ion. King Humbert cordially saluted a Hungarian Gari- baldlan whose breast was covered with med- als. King Humbert has conferred the O:der of tho Annunciata upon and sent a flattering letter to General Cadrona, the sole survivor of the ministry of 1870. Dispatches from the provinces report that the day has been celebrated evorywhers with the greatest en- thusiasm. Tonight the city and the British embassy were brilliantly illuminated and im- mense crowds paraded the streets, Th: weather was superb. The memorial column of Porta Pia is erected upon the exact spot at which the Ttalian troops effected a breach in the city walls when they occupied the city in 1870 and overthrew the temporal power of the pope.

LIMA, Peru (via Galveston), Sept. 20.—The city is in holiday attire and great crowds witnessed the Italian festival at the exhibi- tlon grounds, which was held to celebrate the twenty-fifth ‘anniversary of the entry of the vietorious Italian troops into Rome.

No lapse of time will make that right which fs against the principles of justico, and the entrance by the Ttallan troops twenty-five ye: ago of the city of Rome, belng o0 un just, can never be rectified.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—The engagement of the young duke of Marlbough to Miss Con- suelo Vanderbilt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, which has been repeatedly affirmed and denied during the past month, was formally announced tonight. The duke himself is authority for the statement. He was seen at the Waldorf hotel and asked concerning the truth of the current reports, whereupon he requested that the facts be made public in the following words “It is officlally announced that a has been arranged between the duke of Marl borough and Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt. The engagement was arranged by Mrs. Vander- bilt's friends and those of the duke of Marl- borough. The wedding will take place in the latter part of this year in New York. The duke said he would leave tomorrow on a trip through the stat the guest of Sir Rivers Wilson, president of the Grand Trunk. This marriage will connect the hcuse of Van- hilt to the principal ducal families of the British empire, particularly those of Buc- cleuch, Roxburg and Abercorn. The duke of Abercorn is an uncie of the duke of Marlborough. All Americans are familiar with the history of both families to this union. The marriages of the father of the young duke to an American woman in New York, Mrs. Hammersley, is a part of recent history, as is the separation and divorce of the father and mother of the young bride-to-be. The duke has been the uest of Mrs, Vanderbilt in her magnificent Newport home. The frequency with which he has been secn in public with Miss Van- derbilt has given ground for the current re- ports of their engagement, so that the an nouncement will be no surprise to the public. e NORTHERN PACIFIC N Mixs Van marriage S MONEY. Not at Present in Condition to the Co it Rivals, MILWAUKEE, Wis,, Sept. 20.—The gen- eral report of the receiver of the Northern Pacific, showing the condition of the prop- erty, which was ordered by Judge Jenkins, was filed in the United States court late this afternoon. The report is a voluminous document, comprising nearly forty pages of printed matter, together with the trial bal- ance shee's and rceo ds from the comp.10'ler's office. The report deals largely in gener- alities, as it would be impossibie, the receiver says, to present a detailed history of their administration in so brief a space. Tables are adduced, however, to show that in the two years of the receivership the operating expenses have been decreased. The troubles of the recelvership embraced in the strike, the conflicts with floods and the endless liti- gation are pointed out. The receivers say further that the condition of the road is not such as to enable it to compete on an equal basis with its rival, and that to remedy this will require the expenditure of $9,000,000 in the next five year: Meet FREIG nlly 20,000 Worth Taken by n Kan- sus City Gang of Thieves, KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20.—Probably most extensive and for years the most cessful scheme for stealing has just been unearthed by secret service officers of the big railroads centering here. Fully $20,000 worth of goods have been stolen and four of the culprits concerned are under arrest. railroad companies have known for several months that a systematic robbery of freight in tiansit was being operatcd and they have spent thousands of dollars in an cndeavor to arrest the thieves. Last Monday Thomas Nolan, foreman of the Railroad Transfer company, was arrested, charged with stealing a case of gocds, but escaped. A search of his house and several pawnshops since has displayed ease upon of valuable merchandise that has been stolen while enroute to and from the depots. Today William Harris, “Bob" Crockett and Charles Lyons, three teamste who have been con nected with Nelan in the steals, were ar- rested and thefts finally traced. The goods stolen valued at fully $20,000 and it is said the thefts have been carried on for three years, Nolan appears to have been the leader of the gang. the suc- ase Al L Ly wtents of Bank Vault Noi Destroyed INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 20 —Tho p. #ix-ton steel door of the Indlana bank was slowly swung open ing, after some hammering and wrenches by experts.

Of the Chinese garrisons, num- bering 10,000, 650 were killed or wounded, and the remainder dispersed in various di- rections.

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 20.—Barnum'’s tent was filled again tonight. There was a gath- ering there of the survivors of the Army of Northern Virginia and that portion of the Army of the Potomac which fought at Chick- amauga. General B. C. Walthall of Missis- sippl presided. Colonel W. C. Oates, gov- ernor of Alabama, was the first speaker, and he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. In his introductory remarks Governor Oates re- ferred enthusiastically to the significance of the dedication of the battlefield of Chicka- mauga. The unfon veteran by this cere- mony extolled his own gallantry, by which alone he was able to triumph over such de- termined foes as were those of the confeder- ate army. It was complimentary to the con- federate veteran In this maniy way to ac- knowledge defeat, accomplished by overpow- ering numbers, and to strike hands with his adversaries as honorable men. He next re- cited the action of his men at Chattancoga, telling of the heroic fight they made. Then he spoke of the causes of the war. As to slavery, it was contrary to natural | rights, but it was a lawful state institution | and was so recognized by the constitution of the United States. Being a institution, it was a right of the state in which it ex isted to continue or abolish it. The responsi- bility, moral and otherwise, for its continu- | ance belonged alone to the people of th ate wherein it existed. The institution had been handed down through generations. Its character was not generally understood in the north. It was abused by leading men of the puritanical type, who abused and traduced justices of the supreme court for deciding that slavery was lawful, and who denounced the instiution of slavery and polygamy as twin relics of barbarism, as the sum total of all villalny, as a league with death and a covenant with hell, until their doctrines in- 1 a band of fanatics to believe that they were inspired by heaven to lift the torch of | revolution in southern homes and to invade a southern state for the purpose of inciting the slaves to insurrection, arson and indis- criminate murder of while people, and wh the: chief of these malefactors was e church bells were tolled in €ome of the north- | ern cities to canonize him as a martyr, These were irritating causes which aroused the feeling of indignation and prepared the minds of the southern people for secession from the union. It was not for slavery the south fought, for the majority of the soldiers were laboring men and never owned a black. It was the horror of seeing 4,000,000 siaves turned loose, the invasion of their rights to local state government. They fought for the right as God gave them to see the Tight Continuing, he told how the north had un- limited credit and resources, v-hile the south had none; how the north had an army of 2,800,000 men, the south a little over 600,000 men. Superfority of numbers enabled the north to win. But for four' years the im- mortal confederates stood their ground. But when all their strongholds were captured men half staved, 200,000 were dead, when widows and orphans became numberless, then their courage failed. Colonel J. A.

Wil e Petitions for a Divorce, NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Mrs. Paul L. Wilkes, who s known in theatrical circles as Virginia Paul, has brought suit against Paul T. Wilkes in the court of Brooklyn for abso- lute divorce. Wilkes is now living in Sioux Falls. Mre. Wilkes was Miss Rita Hone, daughter of the late Philip Hone, a wealthy liquor dealer. She marrled Archibald Hack- ett, a soclety man, and in 1892 secured a divorce from him in Sioux Falls on the grounds of cruelty. Two days afterward she married Wilkes, whom she had met in Sioux Falls, and who was the son of ex-Supreme Judge William A. Wilkes of Sioux Falls. A few days sfter the wedding Wilkes shot and almost killed a St. Paul dry gools sales- man, whose n was George Shepard. The cause of the shooting was an insul'ing re- mark which Sheoard was alleged to have male to Mrs. Wilke:. Mrs, Wilk's spnt the following seison in Eirope.

In spite 5t weather that would have been sufficient to discourage men of ordinary determination, the big exposition had prodiglons sue= cess. There were one or two features that might have been improved, but they were lost sight of in the general excellence of the show that Nebraska enterprise had provided. And when the task of removing the ibits bae gun lasgt night the general sentiment was that Omaha had set a pace unprecedented in the history of the state The closing day attracted a comparatively small attendance. It was apparent that the festivities which attended the advent of Ak- Sar-Ben had exhausted the energies of the people. The morning trains to the grounds were only partially loaded and althoug] the arrivals increased during the afternoon at no time was there a erowd to compare with those of the prec But those who visited the grounds yese terday enjoyed by far the best opportunity that has yet been obtained of seeing the fair, The sun was obscured and the south wind was strong enough to subdue the heat, withe out causing discomfort from the dust. For the first time sinco the fair was opened the management had developed gumption enough to sweep the floors of the buildings during the night, and the White City s neat and comfortable as could possibly te wished. The visitors had the first really enjoyable day which the week has offer:d, and a slight* , which fell soon aiter 10 o'clock, laid tha dust and imparted purity to the muggy asmosphere, There were two concerts at the band stand during the forenoon. The Pawnee City band played a short program from 10 to 11 o'clock and then gave way to the Grand Island band, which rendered another very pretty program. A unique feature of the day was the parade of the traction engines, through the Court of Honor at 11 o'clock. There were nearly a score of them, just enough to form a circla around the cour and they creaked and wobe bled around the track Lo the huge delight of the young:ters, It had been intonded to fole low ‘this by a parade of the stock, but this was finaliy abandoned as inadvisabl In th fternoon the remain r of the premiums werc awarded and promptly at 4 lock the wark of removing the exhibits was begun. Many of the restaurants and sideshows had begun pulling down (heir tents earlier in the day, bift the regulations of the fair compelled the exhibitors to wait until the closing hour. Most of the heavy exhib- ftors preferred to wait until this morning before removing their property, but others lost no time in pulling out as to get home before Sunday. About 5 o'clock the fair officials packed up their belongings and moved them to their headquarters at the Millerd hotel, where they will be in session {oay. been a ex og days. PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR Plans are already being laid for next year and it s promised that the few difficulties which have been noticeable this year will then be conspicuous by their absence, The officials of the Missouri Pacific have about decided to put in a complete double track road to the grounds. This company carried 17,000 people Thursday In spite of the fac that two engines were off the tracks during the afternoon, on account of which several train had to be abandoned. The officlals are so encouraged by their patronage that they declare that next year they will prepare to carry all the people who want to ride. With a double track line the time table will be abandoned and the trains will run as frequently as is necessary, and on the same privciple as the street cars. Stations will probably be buiit at each end of the line, so that a single train load can be admitted at once. When one train pulls out another will number of people cam ried without crowding or annoyance, The chief complaint of the Board of Man- agers has been on account of the lick of & sufficient water supply on the grounds. It is asserted that this is responsible for the failure to keep the grounds well sprinkled and that they have been blamed on this account when they were not responsible, The Missouri Pacific was decidedly fortunate Thursday. Just at the time when the big after dinner rush for the grounds oceurred and several people were walting at the depot, an ¢ jumped the track at West Lawn and travel was sidetracked for more than an hour. The most careful ex- amination has failed to discover any reason that could have induced a 1 meaning engine to get off the track at that point. There was no obstruction and the track was in perfect condition, the ident bes comes one of those mysterious and inex- nable occurreaces which railroad men times experfer.ce he return travel from the grounds delayed for soma time by a similar acel- dent at the fair ground end of the line. On account of the unusual busin number of extra men had to be employed, and some of them were a little raw in rallroad work. As a traln was running up to the gate & man cut off the air before the tralnm stopped. The result was that the engineer was unable to control the engine and It did not stop where the track did, but plowed on through the roadway aud landed a couple of rods beyond the end of the- trac un- ine was IN AND OUT WITHOUT ACCIDEN Enormo Night by (he R The enormous crowds that passed through the depots this week were handied without an accident. The walting rooms were crowded almost to suffocation at times and the ticket agents and station policemen worked night and day. After the parade of Thursday night 14,300 fair visitors left the city between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock on trains running from the Union depot. The Webster stre:t station was not much behind in point of numbers. Bleven trains left the Union depot within an hour and each train averaged twelve coaches. The largest epe cial was that which left for the east over the Milwaukee. It was composed of seven= teen coaches and was crowded to the plate forms. But one robbery was reported, that of a pair of shoes from Fred Gllllard of Avoca, la. Mr. Gllliard reach:d the depot shortly after the parade, and being considerably fatigued with the day's pleasures, indulged in a short nap till train time. Time flew quickly and the train for which he had been waiting are rived and departed and yesterday morning he awoke to find himself still in the city of \e Ak-Sar-Benites and bereft of his shoes.
