British Make Another Capture IN Delagoa
Bay.
Berlin, Jan. 1.-The steamer Hans
Wagner. from Hamburg. was seized
Mt Delagoa Bay by the British OH Dec.
q. 1t is reported from Hamburg that
the owners of the Hans Wagner have
lodged complaint with the British
foreign ONCE.
This will no doubt make more COM
plications in the diplomatic situation. as
nothing for months has caused more
bitter feeling at the foreign office than
the seizure IF the Bundesrath, and the
Outspoken indignation with which Won
Bulow's subordinates discussed the in
cident is astonishing. A few such af-
fairs would be likely to cool the Anglo
German relations in way TO delight
the German people, the overwhelming
majority of whom are passionately an
ti-British.

Prof. Il. v. Hilprecht. Of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, who has been
exploring the mountains Of ancient
Nippur, In Asia Minor. arrived in New
York the other morning on the
steamer Friedrich der Crosse from
Bremen. Prof. Hilprecht brought
with him some of the tablets marked
with cuneiform inscriptions, which he
recently discovered in an old temple
on the ruins Of Nippur. These tab.
let's contain records Of civilization
which existed as long ago az 5000 B. C..
that is, a. long before Abraham as
Abraham was before our time.
Prof. Hilprecht's coming has been
awaited anxiously by students inter,
ested in the remote past, because his
discoveries are believed to have re-
organized the chronology of Biblical
times, extending it back many millen-
iums prior to the old time reckoning
of the deluge. Therefore he is looked
upon as a messenger bearing news of
the earliest records of civilization.
DR.. Hilprecht has been exploring
the mounds of ancient Nippur for II
years His campaigns have heretofore
been most successful. but during the
past year he has made the greatest
discoveries Of all. the finding Of the
library of the ancient Temple of Nip
pur and the remains of a huge pal
ace having at least two stories and
containing many evidences OF what
might be called modern conveniences.
The library tablets throw strong
light on how people lived at Nippur
at the time when Adam and Eve were
supposed to be living in the Garden
Of Eden. Some of the tablets are
dictionaries, architectural plans,
building lists, grammatical exercises,
contracts. bills of sale. histories and
chronological lists. and not only do
they form complete record of the
time, but they indicate that the civ
ilization then existing was many
thousands Of years old. They supply
many gaps which are known to exist
in Genesis; they turn light on the
origin of the Jews and the Jewish re-
hgion, and they are wonderfully cor
roborative Of the facts outlined in the
Old Testament.
'"The chief point to be remarked"
said the professor the other morning,
"is that we have found the first Baby
lonian temple library that was ever
discovered. Hitherto we have pos
sessed nothing more than knowledge
of the probable contents of such a
library. from copies found in the
royal library of Ashurbanapol, in
Nineveh, which was discovered 90
years ago"
