making provision for the opening Of the IL
brary during portion of each Sunday (af-
ter pm.). The amendment was referred
to the committee on the library, reported
favorably. and referred by them to the
committee on appropriations. It was
adopted by that committee and incorporat-
ed In the appropriation bill as 1t passed the
Senate But 1t fell out in conference.
Commenting on this, Mr.. Putnam says:
This may have been through some misap-
prehension Of its purpose or effect The
Sunday opening Of libraries and museums
Is, however, now so general that the appli-
cation to particular institution has ceased
to be discussed as q question of utility
much less as religious question, but pure
ly as question of local need and Of pecun-
larry ability: Compulsory Sunday labor is
not involved. In the Library OF Congress,
as generally elsewhere. the provision would
be for a special service" This might con-
sist, in part at least, Of weekday employees,
but only at their own solicitation, for ex-
serving during the week be permitted to
work every Sunday, not more than four
hours OF any Sunday.
The Sunday use would not be trivial
Experience OF other libraries proves 1t to
be superior in orderiiness and in serious
ness to the weekday use. It would be in
part by visitors from out OF town. to whom
now every federal Institution in Washing
ton. save the Geological Park. IL closed
from Saturday evening till Monday morn
ing: IT would be IN part by the men whose
profession Is In books but whose weekday
hours are occupied with routine research
within their respective bureaus; 1t would
be in part by employees in the executive de-
partments who are interested in serious
reading and 1t would be In q large degree
by men and women whose weekday hours
must be devoted to the mere business which
is their livelihood and the work-day even
fngs to mere physical recuperation,. and
whose only opportunity for cultivation
comes on Sunday. The Corcoran Gallery is
open. on Sunday afternoons. The crowds
which visit IL are evidence Of the need and
the appreciation
''To open the library lthat.ia. the building.

Unsuccessful In the First Attack, the Men

Special Cable Despatch TO THE sun.

MANILA, Nov. 9.-News comes from
Catbalogan, capital OF Samar island, that
Major Walters marines made an unsuc-
cessfu attack few days ago on strong
position held by the rebels on the cliffs at
Sojotan. He had two men killed.
On the following day he renewed the

CARDINAL SVAMPA DYING.
Has Been Considered Possible successor
OF Leo XIII.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE Sun
RoME, Nov e.-Cardinal Svampa, Arch
bishop Of Bologna. is now lying on his DEATH
bed. The question OF tho successor to
Leo XIII. in the Papal chair will be iniiu-
enced in very important degree by Car
dinal Svampa's death, for he has long been
regarded in Vatican circles as the most
eligible Of all the members Of the Sacred
College. He Is, moreover, the youngest
Of the suitable candidates, being only 90
years of age.
His supporters have always said that his
succession to Leo XIII. was foretold in the
book of the prophet Malachi His more
mundane qualifications included his great
learning and tact which have kept him IN
the forefront for several years. despite
his great disadvantage OF comparative
youth.
Hitherto he has enjoyed bodily and mental
yigor, but the malady which has stricken
him is stated to be incurable and the ques-
tion agitating Vatican circles is who shall
be selected by his party to succeed him as
candidate for the Papacy. The names
of Cardinals Gotti, vannuteli and Rampolla
have been mentioned only to be rejected
as unlikely. The probability is that Car
dnal Sarto. Archbishop Of Venice, VIII
be the selection of the Svampa party.
