LEO XIII

ecy which has never been known
until now to fail. 1t is attributed to an
Irish archbishop of the name of Malachi,
who lived in the eleventh century. His
prediction took the form of number of
Latin notices to designate the proper
sequence of occupants of the papal stool
Thus the motto predicted for the 25Tth
pontiif, who happened to be Plus vi,
was "Peregrinus Apostolicus," which, in
view of the numerous voyages and ex-
lies of that pope, turned ont to be singu-
larly appropriate.
The motto "Aquila Rapax" was as
signed to the 25Sth pope, and, rs the lat
ter was Plus VII, theprophecy received
fulillment by the robbery of his tenn
poral possessions by Emperor Napoleon
/, whose emblem was the eagle.
The prediction for the 268d pope, Plus
TX, was "Crux de Cruce,' which was
borne out by the persecution and troubles
to which he was subjected throughout
his long pontiticate.
The prophecy for his successor was
"Lumen in Coelo," which may be re-
garded as accomplished by the fact that
comet figures in the armorial bearings
of the present pontiff, Leo XIII.
The prediction for the next pope is,
"Ignis Arden burning fire. Now, the
sole member of the Sacred college to
whom this appears applicable is Cardinal
Zigliara, the only prince of the church
who belongs to the Order of the Domini-
cans. The armorial bearings of the lat
ter consist of dog holding in his mouth
a flaming torch, and it is in consequence
of this that the Dominican cardinal is re-
garded by the Roman Catholic clergy
as the predestined successor to Leo XIII.
The Cardinals PecuIiarities.
Cardinal Zigliara is man of about go
years of age, though he appears consid-
erably older. This is due in part to his
habit of of walking about with bowed
head and leaning heavily ON crutch-
handled stick He is fond of walking
outside the walls of Rome and, either
Intentionally or not, frequently meets
King Humbert and Queen Marguerite
returning from their drives. On these
occasions he never fails TO remove his
hat and to salute them with the most
marked courtesy. His mouth, like that
of the present poutiff, whose intimate
friend and confidant he is, is noteworthy
for its strong will and determination, be-
sides which there is the same suspicion
of irony lowering about its corners. His
face, like his character, is enignatic,
and all that is known OF him until now
is that he is one of the most enlightened
and learned theologians of the century.

GERS of theSEsmeralda visited the New

said their destination was some port in
the United States where they could get
coal.
They also inquired as to the quantity

seemed disappointed when informed
that the steamer had only small
quantity. Walton says he has no doubt

WHOLESALE POISONING


From Eating Smoked Sturgeon at Pitts
burg-Inyestigating.
PITTsBURG, May 19.-Chief Brown, of
the department Of public safety, has
ordered an official investigation of the
alarming number of cases'of poisoning
from eating smoked sturgeon, reported
to his office by the bureau of health.
DR.. j. Guy McCandless was ordered
to proceed with the investigation, and at
q later hour reported that the fish had
been cured with creosote. The doctor
advised the destruction of all smoked
sturgeon now on sale i'll the city.
Chief Brown has ordered the proper
officers to visit every place where the
fish is sold and condemn it, and through
the afternoon papers. warned the citi-
zens to eat no more smoked fish.
Almost every physician in the city re-
ports from five to thirty cases. No
case has yet proved fatal, but people
are sick from the effects of the poisoned
food number in the hundreds. Thir-
teen physicians interviewed agree that
their patients exhibit symptoms usually
evidence of summer complaint.
Mr. Gledhill, who seems TO have cured
and sold this particular lot of fish, says
that only smoke from hardwood was
used and that he courts and will pay the
expense incurred for a searching investi-
cation. He says that the fish were per-
fectly fresh when received from Bay
Side, N. j., last Thursday. Mr.. Gled-
hill positively denies the use Of creosote
in curing the fish, and is unable to ac-
count for its presence.

STILL At LARGE.
The Whereabouts Of the Fugi-
tive Itata Not Known,
But the Cruiser Charleston is Again
After Her,
With Enough Coal to Keep
Steam Up for Ten Days.

Intimation That the Itata's Supply of
Coal Was Rcplenished at Sea From the
Bunl,ers of the Esmeralda-Thc Latter
Vessel Now in Need of Fucl-The Cap
tains OF the Charleston and Esmeralda
Have an Interview.
WASHINGTON, May ia special from
Acapulco, Mexico, says:
The United States cruiser Charleston
left Acapulco Sunday night about 10
O'Clock, after filing her bunkers with
coal enough for ten days run. She
stcered a general southerly course, but
no one here knows what her plans are.
The commander of the Esmeralda is
trying to establish telegraphic credit
at New York or Paris. If successful he
can probably obtain coal here with drafs
thus drawn.
The opinion is general that the Esmer-
aida communicated with the Itata out
side the harbor Friday night and OBJ
tained provisions, after which the ltata
continued south.
No one but Capt. Remey knows what
course the Charleston viii steer, but it is
not improbable that he will continue
straight on for Chili-stopping for coal at
Parmna-in order to join the other ships
of our navy at Iquique As the Itata
must turn up their eventually, perhaps
that will be the surest way to catch her.
The Esmeralda still lies near the har-
bor entrance, but has not yet coaled up,
Her commander is evidently aware of
the Itata's whereabouts.
The Chilian captain says that his YES
sci has not called at any American port.
Consequently, he says, it is not probable
that the United States authorities will
interfere with the movements of either
himself or his vessel.

One of their stories is that they have
already met the Itata and taken her
stores and arms from her. Another Is
that the Itata has met a coal laden YES
sci al sea, and is now pushing on south

Commodore McCann in Charge.

An order was sent NUlQdN DS EoeCI5-
tary Tracy to Commodore Mccain, now
on his flagship, the Baltimore, at lqui-
que, Chill, placing the Charleston under
his immediate command. So that in
future the movements of that vessel will
be nnder his direction instead Of under
orders from the navy department, as she
has been since leaving san Francisco In
seaHch of the Itata. This order will
give Commodore Mccain, practically,
discretionary powers regarding the flu
ture course the Charleston shall pursue
in her chase Of the insurgent vessel
AS there are now two acting rear adj
mirals in Chilian waters-Commodore
Mccain, on the Baltimore, and Conmo-
dore Brown. ON the San Francisco
command of the squadron will devolve
upon Admiral McCann as the senior off
Ger. both admirals, however, keeping
their individual commands, and will III
future act in C0nsOrt. 1T Is not
Thought the order of the secretary,
placing the Charleston under the direc-
ton Of Commodore Mccain. will make
any change in the policy to be pursued
by the navy department relative to the
pursuit of the Itata.
The order was issued because the Off
cials Of the navy department were OF
opinion that the movements Of the
Charleston. as well as those Of the other
vessels of the Pacific squadron in search
of the Itata, could be better controlled
under orders of Commodore McCann
than under orders from Il place so far
from the scene of action as Washington,
An official Of the navy department
said Sunday night that is was not likely
the Esmcralda would seek to procure
coal at any of the seacoast towns ON the
Central American or Colombian coasts,
IS these countries would undoubtedly
Gnt as Mexico had done. in refusing to
yioflte tie neutrality laws by aiding the
insurgents to replenish their coal supply
or plDcne munitions Of war.
The Esneralda's officers and crew
talk very freely about the Itata, but
they evidently do so in the hope that
they will thereby deceive Capt. Remey,

A JOKE ON THE CHARLESTON.

Az Intimation That the Esmcralda Sup
piled the Itata with Coal at Sea.
An officer Of the Esmeralda, in reply
TO Il question put to him in the telegraph
Office at Acapulco as to the probability
of an old-fashioned sea fight between the
Charleston and Esmeralda, said in a
iocular and rather ambiguous way:
"Oh, the Itata is already out of danger,
She has plenty of coal and provisions to
carry her to her destination" This re-
mark has given rise to the report that
the Itata coaled at sea and proceeded to
her destination, while the Chilian war
ship steamed for Acapulco to throw the
United States authorities off the track
Our Interests May suffer.
The hint was accidentally dropped by
a high naval official Friday that our
efforts to capture the Itata have embit-
tered the insurgents toward us, and that
American interests at Iquique, the in
surgents headquarters, are consequent
" in danger This accounts for the
hasty mobilization of an American fleet
in that harbor.
