HEALTH OF HIS HOLINESS.
Pope LeO's Condition Said to Be
Very Disquieting.

LONDON, JAM 1O-In spite of
official deniaEs, the reports that
the health Of the pope is very
delicate are confirmed by private ad-
vices. According to news from Rome
received by Cardinal Richard, the arch
bishop of Paris, the condition of Pope
Leo is very disquieting. The death of
Cardinal San. Felce greatly affected
his holiness, as San Felice was Pope
Leo's probable successor to the pontffi-
cate and regarded the dreibund as
possible means of bringing about a
reconciliation between the quirinal and
the vatican. Emperor William, when
he visited Naples last spring, asked
Cardinal Sam FFlice what attitude he
would take up n elected pope; but the
distinguished prelate declined to be
drawn out.
In view Of Pope Leo'S present condi-
ton Of health, it is stated that some of
the powers have already signified their
wishes regarding the succession,
France, Belgium and Portugal favor
ing Cardinal Parochhi, the vicar-gen-
eral Of his holiness, while Spain, Aus
tria and Prussia, support Cardinal Van
nutelli, the project of the congrega-
tional index.
The miners federation this week de-
manded better protection for the men
in the mines. They say that a thou
sand persons are killed and 1000 in
Jured in British mines every year.
They demand government inspection
for every ten -taOusands workrnen.y3
Lord Penryhm seems destined by his
high handed treatment of his Welsh
quarrymen to do for English employ
ers what Lord CIanricarde has done
for his fellow landlords in Ireland, who
protest that the reductions of the land
courts are driving them into bank

the Quarrymen fight for the right to
combine, includes contributions from
privy councillors, Sir George Trevelyan,
Sir Thomas Ackland and Sir Charles
Dixie. The miners, engineers and other
trades unions are making weekly
grants. Canon Scott Holland, a high
church ignitary,-declares that prop
erty is only held on the condition that
1t does not arrive at such an issue.
Rev. DR.. Parker says that the very
solemn question is raised whether one
man should have the power of life and
death over ten thousand human beings.
The views Of Lord Roberts, in his
autobiography just published, on the
possibility Of another Indian mutiny
have attracted considerable attention.
In spite Of the enormous progress made
by the Indian army, he warns Great
Britain that 1.-THE signs Of the spirit
of unrest and discomfort which sowed
the seeds Of the Indian mutiny are be-
ing revived" and he attributes this to
the temperance of old faults in the
administration of the Indian empire
The governmental appears, has become
more and more centralized and depart
mental spirit is very strong in each
department in the line Of progress in
pushing measures obnoxious to the
natives. The legislative, fiscal and
judicial systems have developed be-
yOnd the intelligence Of the natives
Lord Roberts also doubts whether the
idea of converting the Indian princes
and mobiles into English noblemen has
been carried out with sufficient caution
The ST. James Gazette takes a grave
view of Lord Roberts remarks, and
says: I'm the situation pointed out by
Lord Roberts, combined with the
activity of the faddists at home and
the presence of accidental or unantic-
ipated grievance, there are materials
