Historical Records 4 osf

There are two great nations OF an
tiquity whose inscriptions cannot yet
be read-the Etruscans and the Hit
tites. The Etruscans occupied a part
of Italy corresponding roughly TO what
is now known as Tuscany. The Hit
tites at one time occupied a part OF
Palestine, and united with the Canaan
ties to resist the invasion by the
lsraelites under Joshua The Etrus-
can and Hittite inscriptions have thus
far resisted the attempts of scholars
TO decipher them, though no one
knows when someone may stumble on
bilingual inscription which will serve
as key, just as the Rosetta stone, dis
covered in Egypt in 1899, served as a
key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics. In
the new world. the so-called Maya In
scriptions, found on the ruins in Yucca
tan, are also a puzzle to scientists-

Napoleon i'm Opera.

Long ago dramatic authors put Ma
poleon upon the stage But until the
present the little corporal has only
spoken. Now he is going to sing. The
libretto of the opera is ready and a
Genevese musician, M. Joseph LAUDER
is to write the music. The title is sim
re, 1873" The theme will include
the fight from the Isle of Elba, the
hundred days, Waterloo and ST.
Helena. The role of the emperor will
be taken by NJ Zimmerman, who
joins to strong tenor voice the Ma.
poleonic face. The idea of making
Napoleon sing does not lack in audac-
ity and one may well ask if it will be
accepted by the French public.

MEXICAN QUESTION MAY BE SETTLED
 AT EARLY DATE
Hope Is Renewed Following Conference Between Car ranZa Financial Heads
 Held in Philadelphia

Atlantic City, N. J.. November r. Hope that an agreement on a programme for the restoration of amicable relations between Mexico and the United States might be reached by the Mexican-Amer- ican joint commission this week was re- vived by conference today at Phila- delphia between Louis Cabrera chairman of the committee, and Rafael Nieto subsecretary of the department of finance of Mexico, of which Cabrera is the chief.
 MT. Nieto came directly from the Mex ican capital. It was intimated that he had come to the United States principal ly to confer with his chief on the sub ject of new schedule of mining taxes.
 It is believed here that an agreement entered into by the commissioners for border control may have the effect of sc- curing for the Carranza government a loan, although it may not be for a large amount.
 This money, it is believed by those identified with the American commission may put Carranza in a position to pay his troops and enable him to conduct a more vigorous and effective campaign against Villa and the several other rebel leaders now threatening the continuation of his power
