WHEN A POPE DIES.
The Curious Ceremonies That Follow His Decease and the
Way Successor is Elected.


Once again the occupant of the Vat
lean at Rome has become an object of
acute interest to the civilized world.
When the news of Leo KILL s sud
den illness was cir culated recently, it
was believed that his great age and
feebleness would make it extremely
doubtful whether he could undergo
the operation which his physicians de-
cided to be necessary. His illness re-
suited from tumor on the thigh, of
thirty years growth, the excision of
which he bore with much fortitude.
His physical condition, however, was
such that the slightest indisposition
could only have serious result, and
the princes of the Roman Church
realized the fact that the day was not
far distant when another Pontiff must
be chosen to the throne of the Papacy.
This is the story of the death of
Pope, of the Conclave which follows
and of the election of new Pope, as
told by the New York World and IL
.ustrated by pictures taken from
harper's Weekly:
When he is in his agony his nephews
and his servants will remove what fur
niture they choose from the palace of
the Vatican.
When the doctors certify His Holi-
ness to have ceased to live in this
world the Cardinal Camerlengo, robed
in violet. and the Clerks of the Cham
ber, robed in black, will approach the
corpse and, tapping him three times
on the forehead with silver mallet,
they will invoke the dead Pope by the

and index finger of his ringed right
hand, holding ii aloft in view of all.
So. and alone, he goes to the altar,
makes his genuhexion on the lowest
step; on the highest step he swears
his oath aloud that his vote is free.
On the paten which covers one of
the great golden chalices he lays his
voting paper. He tits the paten till
the paper slides from 1t into the chal-
lice. He replaces the paten as cover
and returns unattended to his throne.

the canopy of his throne, which folds
down. No one may remain covered

The first and second Cardinal
Deacons-Lord Cardinal Theodolphus

ristan; they take away his cardi-
nalitial scarlet and vest him in a cas-
sock of white taffeta with eincture, q

The servants of the conclave proceed
to pillage the cell lately occupied by

fore the altar of the Sistine Chapel
and the Cardinal Dean, the Lord
Louis Oreglia di Santo Stefano, who

Antl.E1pansion consolation.

F. w. Sylvester, an American member
of a big mercantile, contracting and
shipping firm, who has returned to
London from Manila and Hong Kong,
issues his views on the policy Of this
government in the Philippines, in which
he sides with the Filipino cause, pays
high tribute to Aguinaldo, and holds
him up as a martyr. His letter, which
is heralded by the "anti-imperiallst"
fanatics as big thing, because it
doesn't come from theorlst of the Bos-
tonese variety. but from a business
man." is but a rehash of all the ex-
ploded stories about poor, down-trodden
Washington Bozzaris-Aguinaldo, who is
struggling for human freedom" will
not cause the government to withdraw
the army and forsake It's obligations.
One Of these papers thinks sylvester's
letter is entitled to credit because no
other man has had such opportunities
to learn the facts-not even our MILL
tary and naval officers, and the soldiers
and sailors, and the commissioners of
peace, nor other government agents.
The only unconsoling thing he says to
the "antPs" is one which is entirely In
consistent with the rosy-hued painting
which had led them to hope that the
United States might, after all, be forced
to abandon the work it is doing. 1t
comes at the conclusion, when he re-
marks:
"If our troops coop up Agulnaldo and
his followers in Luzon, I believe that
Aguinaldo will then realize that his
case is hopeless. and will come to terms
with the United States government and
end the war. The greatest stress must
be laid on the necessity of patrolling the
coast OF Luzon."
This would be to prevent AguInaldo
from an effort to get out of Luzon. and
go to one OF the other islands. But why
did this contractor for ammunition and
arms for the Chinese government take
columns to convince the "antI's" that
the Filipinos deserved to win, only to
endorse in the end the plan OF campaign
adopted already by Otis? II the argu-
ment and consolation was so soon to be
done for, what was 1t begun for?

to make such a remark as Is quoted.
He Is the last American citizen who
would say such a thing. II would not
be natural for 20 brave a commander in
the service It would bring upon him
the contempt Of the entire navy, and all
the navieS OF civilization. It is an In
suit to him to publish It in the spirit in
which the Boston Transcript and the
Wheeling organ of Aguinaldo publishes
it AS to Otis and annexation. He Is
the commander of the American army
in the field. Annexation IS not his por-
ton. and his terms of peace to Aguln-
aldo. unconditional surrender" give
the lie to talk about his position. The
settlement Of that question is not for
our brave ohicer. It is wholly within
the province of Congress.

The Wheeling Aguinaldo organ says
that a Toxic" letter to the Boston
Transcript quotes Admiral Dewey as
declaring: Rather than make war OF
conquest on these people would sail
away 1t is stated also that General
Otis does not believe in annexation"
There are two or three reasons why
there cannot be any truth in these
statements. In the first place, 1t is al
legged to be letter to the Boston Tran
script, one OF the most malicious OF the
organs that are publishing everything
possible to create in this country an
tagonism to the American cause and
create sympathy for Aguinaldo and his
cause. The Transcript never falls to
take opportunity to bring our own flag,
our brave soldiers, our military COM
manders at Manila, and our President
into contempt, and publishes every alb
surd tribute to the Philippine patriots"
It can get hold Of; It denounces the
American soldiers as being engaged in
brutal outrages and compares their eff
forts for peace and order as savagery,
rapine and murder. The Boston papers
engaged in this business are among
those that General Otis complained of
as embarrassing the cnuse, in his re-
cent official report.
In the second place. the remark at
trlbuted to Admiral Dewey never could
have been uttered by him. To say that
It was Is to impeach his integrity as the
Admiral of the American Navy. whom
all Americans and all nations honor,
and whom this entire country is impa-
tlently awaiting to pay personal tribute
on his arrival from the scene Of his

one word or act OF his was capable OF
criticism. Among Admiral Dcwey's
last words to his crews, on his depHr-
ture from Manila, was the sentiment
that he hoped the subsection OF the In
surreotlon would come soon; that his
heart would be with the army and the

s1rnnc poInts fnr Council.

In another column will be found ex-
pressions from a score OF prominent
business firms in leading cities Of seven
different western states on the subject
of two or more telephone systems, based
upon their own personal experiences.
AN are united upon two points-that 1t
is a mistake that 1t is In the interest OF
economy, and that, instead of 1t being a
convenience, 1t is constant source of
annoyance, several gentlemen pro-
nouncing 1t a nuisance. They give the
reasons. one Of the compliments, who
has four places, is obliged to pay for
eight telephones.
The common complaint is that no bus
mess place can do business without at
least two telephones; that one of the
chief annoyances is that residence tele-
phone users are constantly calling up
and requiring the transfer Of message
from one line to another as a favor, the
resident user usually having but one Of
the phones. If business house has
but one, and half his customers or other
places he has relations with have the
other, his own telephone does him but
half service.
This Is one feature of the matter
which council must consider in its de-
alterations over the question which is to
come. before 1t in the discussion Of the
ordinance granting a franchise to the
National Telephone Company. 1t is
quite as important as the point that the
report OF the committee ignores the
recommendations of the city attorney,
in connection with the requirements
that should be imposed upon the petit
TONERS, compelling the company to
guarantee, at the very beginning, to
provide equal facilities with those now
enjoyed, and an underground wire sys-
TEN. ANY other consideration will not
be endorsed by the telephone users,
either in residences or business houses
1t should be borne in mind that the
matter of the underground system is
not alone an important factor to the
property holders along the streets, who
are already loudly complaining of the
forest OF poles and the network of
wires, but it is important to the munIci-
pallty itself as whole. Even should
the ordinance contain this provision, a.
very heavy bond should be required
binding the franchise-holder to leave
the streets and alleys in as good condi-
ton as that in which they were found
before the beginning Of the work; and
a further bond that the construction of
the plant is not for the purpose Of SELL
ing out. or that the franchise is not to
be used for such a speculative purpose.
