THE POPE ILL

ROME, Sept. captain Fracassa today
announced that the pope, on Wednesday
last, was attacked by an acute yisceral dis
Arrangement. The condition of the pope
Is causing his physicians and attendants
considerable apprehension.
WASHINGTON, Sept. A dispatch from
Rome, discussing the question of the sue
cession OF the papal throne, suggests the
possib biliuy that Cardinal Gibbons may
be the successor TO Leo XIII The writer
is of the opinion that thestruggle going on
between the pope and the civil powers of
Rome viii lead to the selection of a
foreign cardinal for pope. The dispatch
says;
he political events Of the last few
months have failed 10 bring about a better
feeling between the state and church In
deed, the disagreement between the Nati-
can and the Quirinal has become
more pronounced The Rudni cabinet
may have displayed more tact and
moderation than its predecessors. but at
the bottom the struggle is none the less
bitter and intense. Il is felt instnctivelv
on both sides that the claimants TO the
Eternal City are now brought to bay. and
that the struggle Is for the life or the
death. The first condition according to
prevailing Ca holic opinion, that should
be demanded BY the new pope at he next
cOucl8ve iS a decided and emphatic atti-
should be striking protest against the
state monarchy. Inasmuch as the Italian
Liberals are particularly apprehensive of
a foreign pope, this idea of a new incum-
bent OF the apostolic chair continues TO
gain in strength,
Many men of the highest intelligence
are beginning to say thai this innovation
would perhaps give the required solution
or at any rate furnish prelude or a begin
uing of something better Progressive
and clear-seelng prelates are saying aloud
that, cost what it may. the church must
emerge from Its present stationary posi-
tlOn, which IS AT the same time abnormal
aud cruel. A fact which viii unquestion-
ably improve the chances of a foreign
cardinal is the attitude of the italian GOV
ernment, aud viii quite probably oblige
the sacred college to hold the next con-
clave outside OF Rome IN that event it
would be extremely probable that Glib
bons or Manning. or some cardinal belong
ing to neutral country or to some small
country like Belgium. Switzerland, Hol-
land. Spain or Portugal should secure a
majority when the Votes are cast into the
urn. The Observatore Romano. of Rome.

PATTIsoN PUMPED.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4-Governor Pat
tison appeared this morning before the
legislative committee investigating the
state treasurers Office. 81 testified that
while he was president of the Chestnut
Street National bank the state had de-
posit there OF SlG0, 900. The deposit had
been entirely unsolicited, as no interest
was ever paid on it. No contribution was
given by that bank for campaign purposes.
In reply to the question if he could sug-
gest any better method of auditing the
states accounts, the governor said that
the present system was all wrong. Under
it the state treasurer had absolute con-
troll of about So, 600 for which the state
has security to the amount of S50O.0 900. He
thought that the system in vogue in Phil
adelphia, of all warrants being counter
signed by the city comptroller, should be
adopted by the state The most perfect
safeguard. in the opinion OF Governor Pat
tison, for security TO the state against
loss is the system employed by the federal
government.
After hearing the testimony of several
cashiers Of banks which were active state
repositories, that they had not paid inter
est on state deposits or paid any considera-
tlOn in return for deposits the committee
adjourned until tomorrow

modern ships, large pumping engines
have now been set up. and the water in
the docks is raised by this means. Some

one half hours.
