Preached at the Cathedral by the Rev.
Father Fanghnan OF Pittsburg.

Preached at the Cathedral by the Rev.
Father Faughnan of Pittsburg.
Rt. Rev. Bishop p. J. DOnahue re-
turned yesterday from a visit TO Ri.
Rev Bishop Phelan, of Piusburg.
Matters of Importance to both dioceses
were discussed. Bishop Donahue was
accompanied to this city by Rev Faith
ers John Faughnan, B. J. Hynes and
John j. Gavin, of the Pittsburg do
cese.
Father Faughnan preached the ser
mon at the regular Lenten services last
night. The announcement on Sunday
that the pulpit would be filed by
priest from the Pittsburg diocese was
sufficient to crowd the church. In ad-
dition 10 the clergy from the Cathedral.
Rev. Fathers Bauer and OKane were
on the altar. Father Faughnan's sub
ject was "Penance." and his discourse
was eloquent logical and interesting.
He selected as his text. Whose sins
YOU shall forgive. they are forgiven.
etc, the words of Christ to his ApOs-
ties HedidnOt argue the Scripural au-
thority for this dogma of the Catholic
Church. but pointed out that Lent is
season for penance, and urged the
importance of receiving the sacraments
frequently.

Accident on the Illinois Central

Most of the dead men lived here.
Superintendent Baker and Trainmaster
Beverington are at the wreck.
The blame for the disaster seems to lie
with the crew of the passenger train, which
was running on the time of the freight
Orders were out for the passenger to wait
for the freight at Wetsing, but for some
reason it failed to do so, and the collision re-
suited.
None of the passengers were injured,
though they were severely shaken up.
The injured, so far as known, are:
Conductor Odun of the passenger train
badly bruised.
Brakeman Lake of the passenger train;
bruised slightly.
Express messenger, name unknown; slightly
cut about the head.
None of the other passengers we're killed,
and SO far as known none were injured. En-
gineer Bates of the freight train escaped
by jumping, though he was slightly hurt.
The killed and wounded men nearly all
lived in Cen'rala The passenger train had
a waiting order at Dongoa for the freight
but as several freights had pulled in the
engineer supposed the track was clear and
left. The collision happened on a sharp
curve. The damage to railroad property was
great, as both trains were going at such
speed that the force of the collision drove
engines and cars together in a mass.
Three of the men killed were buried under
the wreck and their bodies were not found
for two hours. All of the men killed live
in Centralia. Huntington was one of the
oldest engineers on the road.
The track was not cleared for several
hours and through trains were seriously de-
layed. The Illinois Central has been doing
more business than can be handled on one
track and Mardi Gras excursions have in
creased it considerably, giving train crews
vast amount of extra work. Considering
the force of the collision the entire escape
Of the passenEers is remarkable.

TIE NEW REGIME IN QUIZ.

General Weyler has assumed his
duties ms commanderin-chief of the
Spanish forces in Cuba and according
to the dispatches the effect has been
to greatly raise the spirits of the Span
ish sympathizers. Undoubtedly they
expect great things of the new com
mander and there is every reason to
believe that he will do his very best to
justify their confidence. The proclama-
tions issued by General Weylcr are,
however, unexpectedly moderate in
tome. He promises Il vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war and the punishment
with all the rigor that the law eXacts
those who in any way shall help the
enemy, but there is nothing in these
prOclamations TO indicate that he in
tends TO adopt policy in cOntrayention
of the rules of civilized warfare. 1t
would not be safe, however, to give full
faith TO these public utterances. Cam
pos was relieved of the command in
Cuba because he would not yield to the
demand of the Spanish party there for
the adoption of policy of extreme se-
verify toward the insurgents, and if
Weyler desires to remain in command
he will be compelled to make some con-
cessions to this party. Ii has already

ATLANTA AND OMAHA.

In progressive, entprprising COM
munity like Omaha there can he no
such word as fail in any undertaking
that enlists the active support of all its
public-spiritcd citizens. The proposed
TransmssisSippi exposition doubtless
surpasses in magnitude every other
project that has been taken in hand
by our people. Its successful accom-
plishment will tax the best energies OF
the representative business men who
have assumed the responsible task of
planning and executing the work. 1t
will also call for the cordial co-opcra-
ton of the people of the whole state.
We make bold to assert that the
Transmssissippi exposition will in no
particular suffer by comparison with
the recent Cotton States exposition.
What Atlanta has done in 1895 Omaha
can and will do in 1898. In many re-
spects omaha starts out with great
advantages over Atlanta. 1t has II
larger population to begin with and
has a tributary country of much greater
resources. The sum total raised by
the citizens of Atlanta by stock sub
scription and donation vas a trihe less
than S12oO0O. Omaha raised nearly
100000 last year for the state fair.
The city of Atlanta contributed $4,000
in money and the county expended
about $4,000 for roadways and i'm
provements. With the requisite legisla-
ton next winter Omaha and Douglas
county can readily duplicate this sub
sidy. The state of Georgia voted
$4,000 for state building and ex-
hibit, but paid out only SIT, 800. The
state of Nebraska will scarcely hesitate
to invest $4,000 in the Transmississippi
exposition. Eight states made appfo-
priations ranging from $4,000 to $2O,-
600 each for the Atlanta exposition and
congress appropriated 100000 for that
purpose. There are twenty-four states
and territories west of the Mississippi
and not less than two-thirds of these,
or eighteen states, can be counted on
to make liberal appropriations for eX-
hibiting their resources at Omaha.
What Uncle Sam has done for Atlanta
and the cotton states he cannot refuse to
do for Omaha and the transmississippi
country. In round numbers 100000
people passed through the gates of the
Atlanta fair during the period that it
was open to the public. 1t is safe to
predict that more than 100000 people
will avail themselves of the Oppor-
tunity to view the Transmississippi ex-
position in the same time. Iowa and
Nebraska alone will send in 100000
visitors without really overtaXing them
selves.
AS already stated, the ability of
Omaha to match Atlanta Is not open
to question. Omaha will excel Atlanta
as much, if not more, than Atlanta ex-
celled New Orleans. What is now re-
quired is for its citizens to come for
ward and second the efforts of the di-
rectors of the exposition by stock sub
scriptions. The subscription list should
reach at least the 100000 mark within
the next thirty days, so as to enable
our congressional delegation to give as
surance that we are in earnest and
ready to proceed with the practical

MIkADo SENDS VALUABLE PRESENTS
Mrs. Gresham Remembered by the
Eastern Sovereign.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1l.-Priceess tapestries
and beautiful vases selected from the private
collection OF his imperial japanese majesty
the mikado, constitute the Offering Of friend
ship and esteem which the Oriental sovereign
has sent. through his minister, to Mrs. Wal
ter Q. Gresham, widow OF the late secretary
of state. Minister ShinichrO Kurino called
upon Mrs. Gresham this afternoon with the
information that the purpose Of his trip from
the national capital was to formally present
to Mrs Gresham the costly gifts that have
been forwarded from Japan During the
war between Japan and China the late sec
retaTy OF state was often required TO pass
upon delicate questions of international i'm
portance affecting the nations Of the Orient,
and Minister Kurno was thus thrown in
Mr. Greshams company great deal. The
secretary's unfailing kindness and courtesy,
az well as his fairness and high ideas OF
justice, won him the regard of the japanese
minister. and through that official of the
mikado himself II Secretary Gresham had
lived the Japanese minister could not have
eyinced his esteem In the princely way he
has chosen TO do through his American min
lister. There are no diplomatic seruples in
the way OF his present method, however,
and it has rarely happened that an Ameri-
can has been so signally honored by the
mkado
