From our Washington Correspondent.
WAaHIsGr9N, April r6, 1898.
MAJOR General Fitzhugh Lee,
copnEaerding Y. S, Army of occu-
patton, in Cuba. How does that
sound? If Mckinley carries out his
promise to act promptly upon the
joint resolution of Congress demand
sing that Spain get out of Cuba, and
authorizing the President to employ
the entire land and naval forces of
the United States, and as much of
the militia of the several states as
may be needed to enforce the de-
mand, and political jealousy does
not prevent, it is likely that Fitz
Lees official title will read some
thing like that before he is many
days older. He has told Mckinley
that he wishes to go back to Cuba,
not as Consul General, but as part
Of the army sent there to drive the
Spaniards out, and his knowledge
of the island and its people would
make him an ideal commander of
the army ofoccupation Which it will
be necessary for the United States
to send; but jealousy has already
been aroused in some quarters by
the unprecedentedly enthusiastic
welcome given Gen. Lee, and it may
grow sufficiently powerful to pre-
vent his getting a military assign
ment that he could accept. He is
positive that the Maine was blown
up by Spanish officials and he has
not hesitated to say so. His time
has been taken up almost entirely
since he arrived in Washington in
giving information either to Con-
gress or some other branch of the
government, and his popularity is
growing all the time. but his head
isn't swelled.
Most Of the democrats and popu-
lists in Congress sought to incorpo-
rate a recognition Of the independ-
ence of the republic of Cuba in that
forcible Intervention joint rcsolu-
tion, but the most they could do
was to put Themselves on record by
supporting a resolution providing
therefor reported by the minority Of
the Foreign Committee, which was
beaten by vote ofroI to r5o. The
majority adopted McKinlcy's view;
consequently the resolution that
was adopted with only lo opposing
votes In the House declares the peo-
pie Of Cuba to be free and independ-
emit. and ignores the government Of
the republic Of Cuba, which has
conducted for three years a success-
full war against Spain. However.
q the resolution Is as certain to
bring war with Spain as would an
actual declaration Of war, all par
ties In. Congress will now join in
helping to fight the war to a speedy
end successful conclusion, and in
getting revenge upon Spain for her
tfeacherous destruction Of the
Maine; when Spain is thoroughly
licked will be time enough to dis.
Quss other phases Of the matter.

The Pope's Daily Life.

Up to within a few weeks the. Pope
continued his marvellous activity.
The Pope's day began with monastic
regularity at 7 o'clock, summer and
winter.
Dressed in his WOODEN cassock and silk
gown, the Pope recited the prayers before
an altar in his bedroom, and then passed
into an anterocm arranged as an oratory.
He put ON the necessary vestments and
celebrated mass. The service lasts three
quarters of an hour. After this he again
retired to his room, where Contra, his
servant, brought him simple breakfast
of coffee and roll, which constituted his
entire meal.
1t was Immediately after breakfast that
the Pope gave audience to accredited Off
Gals and visitors in his library. But to
stand before the ascetic Pontiff those who
sought audience must pass through a
great hall of state.
The famous Swiss Guards, in gaudy
uniform, stand about the vestibule, while
the aforementioned bussolante and
purple-robed chamberlains pass across
the hall in stately dignity.
Amid halls hung with. rich tapestries
and emblazoned with gold and gems,
those who are to have audience are led
into the Pope's library.
After this function was over the Pope
wrote all the forenoon, seated at cano-
pied desk. He worked methodically
hour after hour, making notes on his cor
respondence for his secretaries to answer;
but his principal task was penning notes
for his encyclicals. He revised these each
day till complete encyclical was fin
ished. 1t was always written in Latin.
1t was here that Cardinal Rampolla
visited the Pontiff each morning. bring
ing the religious and political news of the
day. Every subject was discussed and
plans laid for action where that was
necessary.
At noon the Pope gave an audience to
distinguished visitors and crowned heads.
This time he occupied his throne sur
rounded by his Cardinals.

his mortal remains to their last resting
place at St. Louis cemetery.
Mr.. Clines had been i'll for some time
but his ailment was not considered dan
gerous. When too late it was discovered
that he was suffering from very serious
kidney trouble. He realized that death
was upon him and died at peace with all
the world.
Mr.. Clines, Notwithstanding his nuner-
GUS gifts to charity, owned home at
Preston and Gray streets, where he re-
sided with his family until the time OF
his death. 7
Thomas P. Clines was born in London,Y
England, about forty-nine years ago. HIS
father was native of the County Nevo,
Ireland, His mother was born 4.
County Clare. Mr.. Clines' parents lived
several years in London. His fathery
spoke the Irish or Celtic language. Hid
spoke very little English.
In 1850 the Clines emigrated to the
United States and settled in New York
City. Mr.. Clines attended the schools,
there and obtained a fair education.
After leaving school he learned the trade
of machinist and became an expert work
man.
Having completed his time as a ma
chinist apprentice, Mr.. Clines came West
in 1854 He first settled in New Albany.
He soon learned that he could do better
in Louisville, and after spending few
months across the river he came to this
city and made it his home. Mr.. Clines
found employment with the L. & N. X.
R. Co. and worked in the shops for sew
eral years. Later he gave up that posi-
ton and worked for number of firms on
jobs that required an expert mechanic.
He was recognized as one of the finest
workmen in the city.
Two years ago Mr.. Clines was made
Assistant Engineer at the Louisville Gus
tom House. That position he held until
the time of his death.
He was highly thought of by Postmas-
ter Baker, who secured his appointment,
and between whom there existed warm
friendship.
Mr.. Clines was a man little below the
medium height. He was an engaging
conversationaliot. Hewas great reader.
History was his specially. He had the
history of Ireland at his finger tips. Al
though he happened to be born on Eng
lish soil, he never forgot the land of his
ancestors. During his long residence in
this city there was no Irish affair of con-
sequence with which he was not
nected.
Besides, he was charitable man
would give his last cent to any persol
need. No Irishman ever appealed

"Why have you taken the name of
papal election.
because Leo XII. was benefactor of
my family" answered the Pontiff, land
also because Leo signifies lion and the
essary of all is the force of the lion"
His tolerance and fearlessness in ex-
pressing his opinion is shown by the in
cident.
When prelate brought him the news
of Remains death he remained thoughtful
a moment and then asked: GLOW did
he die1" Impenitent," said the pre-
late. The my family" answered the
Pontiff, land then added quietly THAT
is better" The astonished prelate asked
how that could be.
Because" said the Pope, "Renan has
proved that his doubt was sincere, and
therefore he will be judged by his SINGER
ity. which if it is thorough may absolve
him."
He once saw a newspaper article de-
scribing his daily life. 1t said that he
always dined alone. Eyes, it is true,
always dine alone" he remarked, "and
yet 1 am always the Thirteenth at the
table"
No Pope since medieval times has
welded the influence of Leo XIII.
In twenty years he has rebuilt the Cath
olic church, putting it in touch with all
modern progress.

Change for the Better.

Since the foregoing was put in type
the cable dispatches annoIincc decided
improvement in the condition of His
Holiness, which news is hailsd with Joy
by the entire Christian world. Since the
beginning of his present illness he has
had thesympathy not only of Catholics
but of all creeds and nations.
Last Sunday was the Pope's Name Day,
and it was celebrated w;th much eclat.
His Holiness received congratulations en-
masse instead of singly, in order to avoid
fatigue. He looked more feeble and more
emaciated than ever. His voice was clear,
but gave evidence that it was failing.
The King of Spain sent an affectionate
telegram, praying the Pope to bestow the
apostolic benediction on his suffering
country.

The Morning of His Life.

Pope Leo XIII. came of noble Italian
family. His baptismal name was Vim
cenzo Gioachimo Pecci, and in his veins
flows the blood of the ancient Rienzi.
With his high birth and brilliant intel
lect all avenues were open to him. Polit-
ical preferment was for the asking. But
his mother had presentiment OF his holy
calling.
While in their native city of Carpento
little Vincenzo and his brother Joseph
were taken by their devout mother to the
Jesuit college at Viterbo. Joseph was
large and strong, but the delicate, sweet
faced Vincenzo. or "Neno," as he was
called at home, was called "L'Angio-
letto" Little Angel by the master.
His companions nicknamed him Mater
Prelates Mother of Piety) from his fam
cied resemblance to one of the pictures of
the Virgin. But that sweet, boyish face
soon matured into the strong, soulful and
magnetic countenance that fascinated all
men and drew them irresistibly to him.
He hesitated for a time about becom-
ing priest. 1t seemed like the renounc-
ing of all his ambition.
His spiritual nature prevailed and he
received holy orders. 1t was mol long
before he saw that even in the cloister
the influence of strong mind was far
reaching.
He was needed in the political religious
work of the church. His mission as
Nuncio to the Belgian capital revealed to
him and his superiors his great diplo-
matte power. 1t was then that the new
ambition came to him to become Pope.
His mothers dream at the time of his
birth that this great office was in store
for him inspired him still further in his
efforts.
Promotion quickly followed his splen-
did work for the church, and he was made
Bishp of Perugia in 1916. This was but
another step toward his goal. He gath
cred into his hands still other lines. In
brilliant service to his church he was
carving out still higher steps for himself
toward fame.
In seven years came his appointment as
Cardinal in the Consistory. That was the
vantage ground from which during quar-
ter Of century he marshalled all his in
duence which he was able to bring to bear
90 successfully in the Sacred College in
1878, when il met to elect successor to

in power nor in profit, but in the glory OF
the achievement. Sell my country's in
dependence to France! and Tor what!
Was it a change of masters! No, but Tor
my ambition. Oh, my country, was it
personal ambition that could influence
me? Had it been the soul OF my actions
could 1 not, by my education and for
tune, by the rank and consideration OF
my family, have placed myself amongst
the proudst of your oppressors. My
country was my idol. To it sacrificed
every selfish, every endearing sentiment;
and for it now offer up myself, o God!
No, my lords, acted as an Irishman,
determined on delivering my country
from the yoke of foreign and unrelent-
ing tyranny, and the more CALLING yoke
of a domestic faction, which is its joint
partner and perpetrator in the patricide,
from the ignominy existing with an ex-
terror of splendor and conscious de-
pravity. 1t was the wish of my heart to
extricate my country from this doubly-
riveted despotism-I wished to place her
independence beyond the reach OF any
power on earth. wished to exalt her
to that proud station in the world. Con-
nection with France was, indeed, in
tended, but only as far as mutual interest
would sanction or require. Were the
French to assume any authority incon'
sistent with the purest independence II
would be signal for their destruction. We
sought their aid-and we sought it as we
had assurance we should obtain it-as
auxiliaries in war, allies in peace. Were
the French to come as invaders or enemies
unlimited by the wishes of the people,
should oppose them to the utmost OF my
strength. Yes, my countrymen, should
advise you to meet them upon the beach
with sword in one hand and torch IN
the other. would meet them with all the
destructive fury of war. would animate
my countrymen to immediate them IN
their boats before they had contaminated
the soil of my country. If they succeed
ed in landing, and if forced to retire be-
fore superior discipline, would dispute
every inch of ground, burn every blade Of
grass, and the last entrenchment OF hber'
ty should be my grave. What could
not do myself, if should fall, I should
leave as last charge to my countrymer
to accomplish; because 1 should feel con
scious that life, any more than death, Is
improbable when foreign nation holds
my country in subsection. But it was
not as an enemy that the succors Of
France were to land. Hooked, indeed, fol
the assistance of France; but wished te

slender as was his body, he still was able
IT, tower like giant before the great men
who came into his presence.
Those who have gained audience with
him i'll the last year or two have noticed
his decline, supported by his attendants
or seated upon his exalted chair, his in
tellect shone as brightly as ever, but in
his trembling hand was an inevitable sign
of decline.
He no longer took his usual exercise in
the gardens of the Vatican. His only
recreation was narrowed down to daily
tripto the Citta Leonina tower within the
Vatican walls. On even this short route
he was driven in low carriage.
Alighting and supported on the arm of
an attendant, it became his custom to
daily inspect vine that he himself had
planted in the garden at the foot of his
favorite tower. For many seasons he has
gathered the fruit of the vine, and last
year, to his great pleasure, it yielded
quite quantity of wine. Next to his
vine he loved his roses.
But it was to the mental and spiritual
that he has turned in the last days, cling
ing tenaciously to his routine work. In
a room in the Citta Leonina tower, which
none but he ever entered, he worked at
his writing most of the remainder of the
day.
At length the paralysis came on which
is hereditary trait in his family. 1t
sapped his strength till he became ply
steal wreck.
Resigned to his fate, he designed his
own tomb and ordered its erection in his
favorite church, St. John Lateran.

HIS HOLINESS POPE LEO XIII.

He has shown the same progressiveness
in purely material things. The ancient
Vatican at his magic touch has emerged
from crumbling medieval castle to a
modern palace.
Its eleven thousand rooms flash with
electric lights. Telephones connect all
its offices and halls of state. Under Leo's
vivifying touch everything has sprung
into pulsing life.
