containing the remains of the late
pOntiff, on which Is the following sim
pie inscription in gilded letters:
Leo XIII Pont Max" Meanwhile
requiem masses continued in the
Chapel Of the Sacrament, as well as
many other Roman churches.
The body of Pope Leo XIII was in
tered in st. Peters Saturday after
one of the most impressive ce-emo-
MES ever seen in Rome.
The will Of Leo was read. While
nominally leaving the estate of Capt.
meta to his nephew, Ludavico Pecci,
whole family property, amounting to
$4,000, had already been divided
among the three nephews, Count Ca
milo having already sold his share.
The congregation made further prog
ress with the arrangements for the
conclave. Cardinal Gibbons arrived,
but did not attend the meeting.
A wall is being built around the
apartments where the conclave will
be held. 1t is already ten feet high.
Some of the Italian bookmakers here
proposed to conduct public betting OF
the chances of the papal candidates
and in order to obtain permission to
do so offered to donate their gains TO
charitable institutions. The govern.
ment however, promptly refused the
request.
Interest is now largely cngrossed in
the coming conclave. The gossip of
the day may be summed up briefly by
saying that Cardinal Gotti's chances
OF election seem to have increased
in comparison with those of other car.
dinals mentioned as likely to succeed
the dead pontiff, although there still
exists a strong feeling that some one
hitherto scarcely talked Of may wear
the tiara.

RUSSIA FIRM IN mANcHuRlA.
Reinforcements Constantly Arriving
and War Preparations Continue.


London, July 25.-The Times this
morning presents a long Peking dis.
patch. commenting on the Manchurian
situation. The air is full of rumors
and the situation seems pregnant with
possibilities. There is no evidence OF
evacuating Manchuria. On the con
trary, reinforcements are constantly
arriving and there is continuous
southwark movement of troops
There are incessant shipments of coal
and foodstuffs to Port Arthur and OF
troops drilling and gun practice on
the Russian fleet, all of which may not
forebode war, but which accounts for
the fear common in north China that
war is possible.
The Standard this morning prints o

Russian troops, going in the direction
OF Port Arthur that these trains are
taking precedence over normal traffic
and that heavy guns and artillery Il

ksARsAKeE REACHES EcsT.
Battleship Makes Fast Run Acroso
the Atlantic Ocean.


Bar Harbor, Me-, July 27.-Tne Unit
ed St1es battleship Kearsarge has ar
rived here. All day the shore path
had been thronged with people anx-
iously watching the eastern horizon
for the first glimpse of the famous
ship, but it was not until o'clock
that her immense hull appeared in the
east. Coming at full speed the ship
entered the harbor and passed the
other ships of the squadron at anchor,
then proceeding to the upper harDor,
where the Illinois, with Admiral Bar
ker on board, was anchored.
The representative of the Associated
Press was the first to greet Captain
Hemphill. who expressed surprise
that their trip should be OF interest
to others outside OF the navy depart
ment.
He said: I'VE left the Needles at
Sis p. II. July II and passed Mount
Desert rock at 12: 80 July 26, covering
the distance of 1900 miles in nine
days, four and one-quarter hours, an
average speed OF 1916 miles an hour"
The highest speed attained was q
little over fifteen knots an hour and
the slowest was ten. Three times
during the trip the ship was slowed
down. once on account of being in the
vicinity Of an iceberg and twice on
account of a very thick fog. Head
winds and thick weather retarded the
speed OF the ship and under favorable
conditions she would have covered the
distance in less than nine days.
The trip of the Kearsarge has dem
onstrated that a ship Of her class can
maintain an average speed of over
thirteen knots on long voyage with
out injury to her machinery; that her
coal carrying capacity is adequate for
a trip of 1000 miles under full speed; /;
that in time of war ships of her class
can cross the ocean and engage an
enemy at once; that the Kearsarge is
one OF the most perfect ships in the
world and fully equal to any emer-

Rome, July 2S.-Almost all the car
dinals OF the conclave have now ar

of the congregation, which was notable
for the cord!ality with which Cardinal

and yet would be fairly acceptable to
all. Cardinal Michael Logue, arch
bishop Of Armagh, who, with the ex-
ception of Cardinal Gibbons, will be
the only English-speaking cardinal in
the conclave. arrived from Ireland.
He said he believed that the successor
to Leo would be quickly chosen. In
his case. perhaps, the hope is father
