POPE'S DAILY LIFE
How ihc Aged pOntiff Passes
The Time.
Has Composed M8hY Poems Stree
His Recent HiEeSS- renfaiiy as
Strong as EVSF-IrdnSaCIS C0r-
siderable Business Every Day.

Rome, April 2.-Chevalier Flo Cen
ira. the Pope's personal attendant.
furnishes the following information
about his condition and his daily rou-
tine since he recovered from the i'm
mediate effects Of the recent operation:
The Pope almost invariably awak-
ems at daybreak. When I enter the
room 1 find him sitting up in b3d with
a rosary in his hands. At o'clock
several of his secretaries come in. He
talks CT ordinary topics and listens
while they read the newspapers to him.
An hour later he receives Cardinal
Rampolla OF Mgr. Tripepi and trans
acts political and ecclesiastical busi-
ness. Occasionally he gives audiences
TO foreign prelates in Rome.
Toward midday the Pope, who all
this time has been abed, dresses, but
only to change is resting place to ar
aim chair In the afternoon his Holi-
ness does nothing in the way OF work
lie reads a little, but never writes
His chief pleasure is to talk about his
faVOrite books, or hear them read
His physicians visit him twice daily,
al 8 O'Clock in the morning and at ) in
the afternoon. The Pope continually
talks Of his approaching death with
the sweetest resignation. Occasionally
he has expressed a desire that he may
be spared a short time longer to COM
plete some work Of the church. His
physical frailty is something % marvel
at, but the spirit burns with the fire
almost cl youth. Mentally he is as
strong as when in the full flush of his
powers, and nothing seems 10 tire his
brain. It is quite true that the Pope
has composed some poems during his
Illness. He is always making verses, /
but never attempts a long-sustained
pcetical effort. The Pope reads and
dictates corrections and alterations, |
fo- he is never satisfied with his work
After all the years I have watched
his Holiness cannot believe that
death is near him. He absolutely has
no organic disease. The present weak /
ness will pass away. He has a31lys /
been physically weak, and that fact. in
my oDini0n. furnishes dne secret of his |
unusually excellent health"

THE EYE WITNESS
The Mtn Who Saw Jack Ford MuF-
dered is in Town.

/ A letter was received at the sheriff 5
office yesterday from Martin Ford Of
san Jose. Cal, Tnquiring for an ac-
curate description of Jack Ford, who
was murdered by Jim Daniels at Yae-
gers sheep camp near the Phoenix
mine. The writer said he had a son
named Jack Ford fD6n whom he had
not heard for some time. He fears
that he is the victim of that bloody
tragedy.
Angel Asparrae, the so-calIed French
herder, who witnessed the killing,
came down yesterday to attend the in
quest which will oe resumed tomorrow.
Asparae is not a Frenchman and can
nct speak the French language. He is a
naSve of the Spanish Basque provin-
ees separated from the French Basques
by the Pyrenees. The same language
is spoken on both sides, but is heard
nowhere in France outside the noun
tain district Of the department of
Barjonne He comes of a. race OF
sheep herders. His fathers guarded
sheep in the Iberean Alps before
Caesar invaded G3ul So ne IS not
Of italian blood but of the old Gallo
race. He has learned to talk Spanish
either in Spain o. since he has been
herding sheep in New Mexico and Arr
zona His story OF the killing is the
same as he related before the coroner's
jury when it went up in the noun
tains TO view Ford's body. In a con
versation with a Republican reporter
Yesterday he added one point which
may at least show the motive
for the Killing. He said that some time
ago Ford and Dangsls held a lot CT
sheep belonging to Mr. Yaeger on
shares, but after the shearing season |
they turned them back to the owner. |
It is possible that their quarrel had its /
beginning in a business dispute. AS
parrae said the two men had not seen !
each other for nearly three weeks until /
Ford rode over the mountain on his |
mule last Monday morning AS soon !
as he came in sight Daniels called to |
him angrily Ford replied and loud |
talk continued until Ford dismounted +
about thirty yards distant Then /
Danials raised his Winchester and I
fred Ths rest CT the story is the
same as has been related. Nothing |
more has been heard of Daniels The T
next information is expected from
some Of the towns on the Santa re
Pacific, as he has gotten beyond the
range of communication from thi5 end
There is little doubt of his capture.

The Marvellous Growth of
American Trade.
Ten Years AGO France, Germany ard
Great Britain Exceeded the uni
ted Siaies In rxporfs-NOw All
are Behind us.

Washington, April 9.-The pha-
nomenal growth of the foreign
commerce OF the United States
when compared with that of other
countries, especially as to its exports,
is shown by some figures presented in
a report of the chief of the bureau Of
statistics which has recently been
made public The tables cover the
exports of the principal countries of
the world during the decade 1888-1897,
the data from foreign countries for
! 1898 being as yet insufficient to make
it practicable to present general
comparison with tho figures cf that
year. The table shows that a decade
ago France, Germany and the United
Kingdom exceeded the United States
in their exports, those OF the United
Kingdom being more than double our
OWE. In 1887 those of the Uni1ed States
were greater than those of France or
Germany. and but 26 per cent less than
those of Great Britain, while our eE-
ports of domestic merchandise exceed
those of Great Britain. a detailed
study of tno commerce of the great na-
items from 1888 TO 1897 shows that
none has made such rapid progress in
exports as The United States, bEt toaf
in most cases they have increased their
imports much more rapidly than we
have. From 1888 to 1897 our exports
increased 81 Per cent, while those OF
The United Kingdom fell off IA per
Oh, n NJ
nut 1912 per cert; Netherlands, 33.6
per cent: British Australia, 90 per
cent: Belgium, less than one per cent,
and Russia q decrease Of 81 per cent.
Germany showed a gain of 13.5 per
cert from 1891 to 1897, the figures for
earlier years not being in form to per-
nit an accurate and just comparison.
In imports, the United States show
ed an increase of but SIS per cent from
1888 to 1897, while the United King
dom showed 1G.3 per cent, Netherlands
"a Der cent. and Russia 51.4 per cent.
Germany showed an increase of 1913 |
per cent from 1Sai 70 1891; France, |
Belgium and British Australasia show
ed . slight decrease in their importa- |
tions from 1888 to 1897. China in
creased her imports 1874 per cent from |
1888 10 1896. and Japan increased hers /
1919 per cent, while in exports China |
increased ISL per cent and Japan 631 |
per cent. No other country shows so
large an increase in exports and 50
small an increase OF imports mean
time as does the United States, while
no other is able TO present a record
such as that which ours has made in
the fiscal year 189S-of exports dou5le
the amount of imports.
The statement is accompanied by
series of tables showing the imports
and exports Of the United States,
United Kingdom, Germany, France,
Russia, Netherlands, Belgium, British
India and Straits Settlements British
Australasia, China and Japan in each
year from 1888 to 1887. These indicate
that nearly all of the countries ir ques-
ion show a larger per centage of
Increase in imports than the United
States, while none of them, with the
single exception OF Japan, shows SO {
large d per centage ST increase in eX- {

Berlin. April 8.-The Samoan ques-

of dispatches and comments on the
subject. The emperor has devoted
much time to the matter and has con-
ferred several times on the subject
with the minister OF foreign affairs.
Barren Won Buelow. 1t is interesting
to note that the German distrust and
dissatisfaction at the latest events are
almost entirely aimed at Great Britain.
whose attitude is described, even in
official circles, as being dictated by
dupIcity and unfriendliness. The
press faithfully pornays this feeling.
The delay CO Great Britain III accspt-
ing the German proposals for the set
tlement OF the difficulty and which the
United States ambassador, Mr.. Andrew
D. White, attributed mainly to the alb
sence OF the Marquis cf Salisbury from
London, is generally interpreted in
Germany as showing distinctly IN
friendly motives upon tha part of
Great Britain.
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press has had an interview on the sub
ject with a high officer, who said: 1T
has been a source OF regret and as
tonishment that Great Britain, unlike
the, United States, has not expressed
regret at the latest turn CT affairs in
Samoa, while the acceptance of our
peaceful settlement has so far been
coupled with unacceptable conditions
containing the seed Of new troubles
and manifastiy unfair, we could not
accept conditions enabling the Ame1f-
can and British commissioners at any
time to override, German rights, thus
perpetuating the unpleasant state OF
affairs in the islands Great Britain's
behavior in this matter is sympto-
matte and opens an unfavorable vista
for other pending negotiations"

speak for the government tells the cor
respondent that the action CT the

laticn OF the Samoan act; that Ger

KEEN INTEREST IN ENGLAND.
Every Move on the SamCl Chess Board
Closely watched

London, April 8.-The unraveIling of
the Samoan entanglement is followed
with keen interest here especially in
colonial circles. Germany's obstinacy,
as her attitude is termed here, from
the beginning of the trouble, is regard
ed as 'fncomprenensible,' and is said
to be only explained by her desire to
get the upper hand in the islands This
view is expressed by a colonial expert
who, writing TO the Morning Post,
says: For some reason never yet ex-
planned Germany regards Samoa as
an important link in her foreign pol
icy. Rather than give up Samoa the
Germans would go to war No doubt
Germany has not forgotten what a
prize Heligoland has proved and the
German chancellor possibly anticipates
a more important deal if he can only
get possession of Samoa"
