The Pope win Not Leave the Holy
City
ROME, Sept. 1T is asserted that cX-
Premier Crispi will presently publish
documents intending to demonstrate
that France desired to have the pope
leave Rome in 1889.
It is learned at the Vatican that any
such statement is quite without foun-
dation. The pope did in 1889 form the
intention Of leaving Rome. He en-
tered into negotiations with the prince
Of Monaco. Complete arrangements
were made and apartments for the pope
were designated. when a letter Of cx-
extreme Importance was received from
the prince, making certain conditions
relative to the sQjoum Of the pope one
condition was that gambling should be.
TO continue without Interrupt
ton. The conditions were such that
the pope could not accept and the plan
fell through, but France had nothing
whatever to do with it.

Lumni Islanders Tired Of Their CinRey
Mail Service
The settlers Of Lumm island are cir
culating a petition praying the post
master-gcneral for steamboat mail
service between Beach and Fairhavcn.
The petition sets forth that the mail is
at present being carried by sailboat,
which is often storm-bound or delayed
by calms, and that the mail frequently
arrives there damaged by water The
government is now paying eight dol
lars per day for this service, and that
the original contractor Sublet the route
for three dollars per day. 1t is claimed
that for ten dollars per day a steamer
could bc procured TO make the run
daily. There are about l2j people liv-
ing in the vicinity Of Beach pO-tofice.
1t is prosperous community aud is

it is now receiving. 4 daily steamer
