LEO'S END APPROACHING.

Not Survive Much Longer


Not Survive Much Longer.
NEW York. Dec. es.-Dispatches from
Rome leave no doubt that his holiness,
Pope Leo MIL, is fast approaching the
end of his days. His vital energies are
sustained by all sorts of peculiar
means. For example, before the last
consistory met he was made to breathe
quantities of oxygen until it was time
to enter the hall. His physicians be
Eore that his life can notbe prolonged
much longer than six months. Indeed.
1T is quite probable that his life is
nearer its close than that. and that he
will not see the approaching summer.
Already there is a good deal of talk
about the succession, and it appears
that Cardinal Monaco La Vallette of
the inquisition and Cardinal Parocchi
stand the best chances.

CARSON, New, Dec. 2s.-Joseph Klein,

left Placerville two weeks ago to walk
to Carson over the mountains They
were met by Henry Barton, who adj

eleven miles. Both started and since
then nothing has been heard of them.
Three other men started over the
summit the Sunday before. One of
them was found dead twelve miles from
Lake Tahoe. Further search on snow
shoes showed nothing of the others. 1t
seems certain that all five men have
persisted. Another searching party is
about to start.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Offlcially, the
Chilean affair was given rest yester-
day. Unofflcially, it could not be for
gotten. The announcement from Val
paraiso that the Chilean Supreme court
would render its decision Immediately,
and the government then proceed to
make amends, was read with much
interest, and the hope generally ex-
pressed that the statement may prove
correct. The conviction is quite posi-
tive in everybodys mind that it rests
with Chile alone to prevent war. As
far as can be learned none of Minister
Egan's later advices lend any en-
enlargement to the hope that it will
try to avoid the inevitable.
The statement that Chile will be
warned that a reply must be forth com
ing by the time Congress assemblies, or
the case will be transferred to that
body for action, is further verified from
other reliable sources. The note of
warning will be sent before the end of
the week unless some information of
reassuring nature is received in the
meantime, and it can hardly be said
that any is expected.
Assistant Secretary Wharton said
this morning that no advices had been
received from Minister Egan. Min
lister Montt wns also without any start
ling information. All eyes are now
turned on President Montt. Unofficially
it is said that after the new president
is in full possession of the reins of gov
eminent some action may be looked for
from him which will show his friendli-
ness to the United States. At this time
there does not appear to be any partic-
ular reason to expect that there will be
any radical change of sentiment in
Chile or any difference in the conduct
of that government.
Sensational stories afioat about the
Washington gun foundry running extra
time because of the Chilean emergency
are ridiculous. Some change has been
made in the schedules of employees and
that is all. The ordnance which could
be turned out in time for war does not
need extra work.

Notwithstanding that it was Christmas,

VALPARAISO, Chile, Dec. 90. Admiral
Jorge Montt was proclaimed as Presi-
dent of the republic in every town and
city in the country to-day. Elaborate
preparations were made in Santiago
for the Inauguration ceremonies. Two
regiments Of troops from the South ar
rived in that city, and these, with
battalion of sailors, acted as a body
guard to President Montt during the
ceremonies.
1t is proposed to proclaim general
amnesty to all the minor civil military,
and naval officials who served under
Balmaceda. The amnesty will not,
however, .xtend to officers above the
rank of Major, to Ministers of State,
Judges, Councillors, members of Con-
Gresss, Governors, or others who were
particularly prominent.
Active measures had been taken To
prevent any outbreak or uprising on
the part of the Balmacedists, We
lasquez was brought here from San
tiago and handed over to the Inten-
dente. He was at once placed on
board the warship Cochrane for safe
keeping. This action has given rise to
the idea that the government believed
Velasquez was at the head of plot to
cause trouble during the Inauguration
ceremonies.
1t is announced that the government
intends TO build more warships.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 22-Test votes taken on

Prof. Henry p. Smith today show strong
majority opposed to him. The first vote.
upon the sufficieney of the first charge, de-
claring that Smith taught that minister
may abandon the essential features OF a
system of doctrine held by the church
which he received and adopted at ordina-
tion, and still rightfully retain his position
as n minister in the church. Smith OBJ
jected to this charge as not specific. The
objection was lost nineteen to fifty three.
Then the presbytery took up specification
ono under the charge, stating that ho
taught in an article in the New
York Evangelist that acceptance
of doctrines is only required of
ministers at the time OF taking ordination
vows, and specification two, which asserts
that he taught that whether q minister de-
parted from the doctrines can only be de-
termined by judicial process. 10 both
these spesifica tions Smith objected that
they were insufficient in form and legal eff
feet and did not support the charges. The
objection to the first specification was not
sustained, thirty five to thirty seven. The
vote on the second specification was twenty
three to thirty-fve. In order to make the
action positive Rev. d.. Bryan moved that
the court declare the first charge and speci-
fcation sufficient in form and legal effect,
and this was carried, ayes thirty six, nays
twenty-three. This makes formal trial, on
this charge at least, necessary.

Formal Opening Of the international
Monetary Conference at Bel
GUMS Capital.
Delegates of the United States
to Outline the Plan Of Pro-
ceedings.
VIII Ee Done When the Conference Meets
Again on Friday y-Montefore Levi
Chosen President.

| BRUSSELS, Nov. 22. The international
monetary conference met this afternoon.
The proceedings were purely formal. The
countries which have accepted the invita-
tion of the United States to send delegates
to the conference are Austria, Hungary,
Belgium, France. Germany. Great Britain,
Greece, Italy, Netherlands. Portugal, Rou-
manin. Russia, Bervia, Spain. Sweden and
Norway and Switzerland. The following ia
n liat OF delegates representing the United
States: Senator William b. Allison, Con-
gresham James b. McCrealy, Il. Ben jam in
Andrew, president Brown university; Prof.
Ronald p. Walker. of the university of
Pennsylvania; Thomas w. Cudler, Thomas
4. Keller. james T. Morgan, Senator John
p. Jones, Henry w. Cannon, president of
the Chase National bank; E. o. Leeeh, di-
rector of the mint.
Beernart, Belgian primo minister aud
minister of finance, who opened the pro-
ceedings, said in his inaugural address the
conference had been called to discuss one
OF the gravest, most complex problems
modern society ever had to face. He ex-
tended, in the name of the Belgian govern
ment, most cordial welcome to the dele
gates. After referring to the monetary
crises during tho past century, Boernart
said it was in the direction Of an interna-
tional understauding that a solution of the
| monetary question is now sought. This, he
added, is in accordance with the law OF
progress. Numerous such understandings
already have been arrived at for the reRu-
| lation of common interests of the civilized
world in regard to teleRraphs, railways,
weights, measures and why should not the
same course be followed in the case OF
money? 1t was fitting that the delibera-
tions of the conference should take place
on the soil of country belonging to the
| Latin union, but it was for the delegates of
the United States to put forward the views
of their government and explain how il
was proposed to carry these views into
effect. Besrnart advised the delegates to
enter the discussion without being too
greatly impressed by the prospect OF mass
ing silver for which there appeared to be no
employment.
| Montefiore Levi. as president of the con-
ference, followed Beernart. Levi said he
accepted the honor of presiding over theil
delibal ations, knowing it was intended foi
Belgium rather than himself. He referred
to numerous attempts made to solve the
monetary question, mentioning specially
the British gold and silver commission OF
1886 as distinguished above all other similar
bodies by its eminently practical character
| 1 he worst feature of the present monetary
situation 10 its instability. He hoped the
conference would sink individual interests
and keep in view the higher interests of the
great human family.
Hon. L. Ter. i'll, United States minister tC
Belgium. replied Ill few formal words Oh
behalf of the American delegates. The con.
ference then adjourned until Friday.

An Unofficial Incident That Game Up In

One Of tho most interesting, even If not
the most interested. of the spectators, at
last nights session of the city council, was
n seventeen months old baby girl. The lit
tie tot WAS brought in by tho lady who is
caring for IL. In order to saye the infant
the ordeal of hearing the proceedings of
tho last meeting read. Alderman Lissner
got the floor ms coon as the roll call WAS
over. lie took tho baby, stood it on his
desk and threw his left arm around tho lit
tie ons. The child chung to him and stared
around in AN aimless way. 'Mr. Mayor
and gentlemen" said the First ward alder
man, "this little baby is blind. IL was left
with this lady when it was four days old.
Two weeks later " became blind. 1t has
no father. and ita mother is IN the country
somewhere trying to earn money for her
child. the doctors tell mo this child can
be cured il the council will tnke pity on it
and make an appropriation for that pur-
pose. move that the council appropriate
$50 for tho purpose"
Alderman Weber did not think that the
city council could legally perform such a
charitable act, although he aympathiZed
with the baby. In order to reach the same
result, however. he moved that the oity
clerk issue the warrants for the pay of the
aldermen for the meeting then progressing,
and cash them for the benefit of the baby.
Half dozen aldermen we're on their feet
IN moment to second that motion. All
were of opinion that the council officially
could do nothing, but all seemed willing to
do everything possible themselves.
1t was finally decided to make Alderman
Lissner a committee of ono to take up sub
scriptons, all agreeing to contribute their
nights pay. or their months pay, IL neceg-
sary, toward the worthy object
The little one was then carried oat of the
council chamber by the lady in charge of it.

Case OF DIR. Graves.

DENVER, Nov. %. There is decided
hitch in the arrangements for the oral ar
gument in the Graves case. which is slated
for hearing in the supreme court Dec. 5
next. Yesterday the clerk of the supreme
court sent word to counsel that the argu-
ments would be heard on that day, but tho
chances are against it. When the matter
came up for heating Oct. II last. Judge
Helm had just resigned, and neither side
would agree to nm argument before two
judges, so the matter WAS postponed till
Dec. 6. by which time Judge Helms sue
oessor would be elected. Shortly after the
recent election Gov. Routt tende ed the
appointment of the supreme bench to
Judge Goddard, who has been elected to
that office, but who does not enter into
office until the first of the year. He, how
ever, refused to take the Office, as his bns-
mess in Leadville WAS such that he could
not very well leave it. 1t il not at nll
probable that he will qualify before Dec. 3.
and in that event the Graves case will go
over until 1893, az counsel will not submit
an argument to two judges
