LEO XIII. ORDERS HIS TOMB
Belief Generalthat Ills Holiness
Will Not Recover.
San Antonio Express.

Pope Eco XIII. has ordered
his tomb. He has given the
commission to Maroni, the most
famous sculptor in all Italy.
This fact and the recent deliv
erance to the cardinals of the
pontifical letter concerning the
affairs of his entire reign are
considered proof that the head
of the Catholic Church is i'm
pressed with the realization
that his remaining days on
the papal throne are few.
1t is no new assertion that
his health has been failing, and
now fears are entertained that
he may never rally, considering
his age IS 80. This pontitical
testament comments upon the
fact that it was necessary at
the beginning of his rontificate
to make concessions to the
great powers to prevent the
papaey from heing absorbed by
the new order of things. He
insists that the present proves
the wisdom of the concessions,
which were deemed inadvisable
at the time they were made.
The cardinals are asked to
continue his policy, to hasten
the election of his successor,
without allowing time for outs
ide intrigues, and to guard
against tie influence of jealous
powers in the voting.
1t is decreed the tomb shall
be of pure white Carrara
marble; on the lid a lion holding
in his claws the tiara. On the
right there shall be the figure
of Faith, holding a torch in one
hand and the sacred Scriptures
in the other. Truth is to be on
the left, with a mirror and the
armorial bearings of the
papacy. He directs this ms

fairly be classed as favoring a sin
gle gold standard and the attitude
of some Of these even is not
definite.
The South aud far Western
bates are almost unanimous for
free co mage. the Central States lean
towards silver with international
timetable qualification and it is
only in New York, New England
and adjacent Eastern States that
there are any avowedly gold stand,

Ia regard 10 the tariH,. only TWEEN
ty>eight members are against a
change, while fifty three favor
moderate changes aud thirty eight
are pronounced for radical changes.

The income tax question brought

THE QUESTION OF RAILROAD RATES

THE QUESTION OF RAILROAD RATES
In an interview a few days ago Mr..
Chauncey Depew said he regarded the
question of railroad rates as vital
one-quite as important and perhaps
more important than the currency
and he made this statement: "Nevcr
since l have been in the business has
there been such utter decentralization in
freight rates as at the present time.
The rate cutting is widespread and eX-
tends all over the country. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars are being
wasted and neither the newspapers nor
the government are giving the situation
the attention it merits" Probably no.
body will question the authority of the
president of the New York Central on
this subject and while it may not be
news to the business men of the coun-
try, or that portion of them who are in
Il position to get cut rates, it may be
information to the Interstate Commerce
commission. When Mr.. Depew says
that freight rates We're never so utterly
demOralzed as now he means that dis
elimination is more general than ever
before, and this violation of the law Is
going on without any apparent effort
on the part of the commission to cor
rect it. OF course there are very great
difficulties in the way of applying a
remedy, so far as the commission Is
concerned. Mr.. Depew remarked that
that body cannot enforce its rulings
and convict railroad officials for rate
cutting because of the esprit du corps
among railroad men which prevents
them from giving evidence against
each other" In other words, these law
breakers stand by one another when
ever any of them is discovered in
wrong doing. Then the favored ship
pers, OF course, will not give any in
