saw DIR. MaZzoni, this afternoon. on his
return from consultation ut Pope Leo's
be Iside The doctor said: The situa-
ton. this time, is certainly really grave,
in view of the great age of the patient
and his state of extreme weakness.
However, the case is not yet desperate.
especially with a man having such I'M
expected reserve of energy and vitality,
which at the age of 90 is really aston
ishing. The exact definition of the
popc's Illness is senile adynamic pneu-
monia. but His Holiness has not the
least idea that he is attacked by any
organic disease. In fact. he was not in
bed when | went to the Vatican, but
was seated in his usual arm chair,
where / am accustomed to see him eV-
cry time l visit the palace. He believes
that the oppression on the chest ana
the accompanying difficulty of breath
ing arc merely the results of extreme
weakness. As soon as he saw me, His
Holiness repeatedly requested me to
turn my attention to the best means of
restoring his strength, which he said
was all he required, except Il little fresh
air.. Now and then the Pope has re-
course to his inveterate habit of snuff
taking, saying he finds it very re-
freshing.
THE weakness of the patients pulse
! and his short and irregular breathing
gradually approaching to gasping are
the only external symptoms of any
serious nature, but, as l said before,
the Pope, this morning, was full OF
spirits and would not take grave view
of his own case. When I left him, His
| Holiness said: Come again soon. l

ception.'

TRAiNMEN INCREASES.
President Ripley Says II VIII Be Less
Than 20 Per Cent.

An Associated Press dispatch, dated
at Topeka, Kan. says:
Santa Fe conductors and tralnmen
may expect to get a fair increase in
wages, according to what President
Ripley said here tonight. Mr.. Ripley
expressed the opinion that there
would be no strike by trainmen nor
any reason for one so long as they
kept demands down to moderate
limit.
There will be no trouble in making
settlement with the trainmen" he said.
so long as they are reasonable, but
20 per cent increase is too much for
us TO consider. and they may as well
understand first as hast that It cannot
be granted"
President Ripley tonight denied the
published story to the effect that there
was some likelihood OF a traff,c ALI.

Santa Fe Men Voting on Strike.

The conductors and trainmen on the
western lines, among which Is the
Santa Fe. are voting on n proposition
for general strike unless the rail
roads accede TO their demand for a re-
adjustment of the wage schedule. says
a dispatch from Topea, Kas. So far as
can be learned the sentiment appears
to be be favorable to strike, although
this is in great part conjecture, as the
men keep their business pretty closely
to themselves.
The roads have all refused to meet
the demand for a 20 per cent increase,
although quite a number have offered
to compromise on a smaller per cent.
But the boards OF adjustment. both for
the conductors and tralnmen take the
ground that they have made a con
sentative request, and they will not
nudge from 20 per cent. This is an in
crease of 20 per cent from the sched.
ale agreed On In 1892.

FREIGHT WRECK
Occurred Two Miles Below Deming
Sunday Morning.

Sunday morning, at 1880 o'clock,
there occurred on the Santa Fe line,
two miles the other side OF Deming.
one of the largest freight wrecks that
has been known on that road for a
great length of time, says the Silver
City Independent. The freight train
consisted of seventy.hve cars, laden
with coke. coal and rails. suddenly the
engineer heard fearful crash and dis
covered that the cars behind him were
falling one upon another with most
disastrous results. The train was i'm
mediately stopped and the cause inves-
tigated, II was discovered that one of
the drawbars had dropped, causing
such an obstruction that the cars be-
hind 1t were unable TO come In contact
with 1t without being completely de-
stroyed. Such was the case with thir.
teen cars. the remaining ones in front
and behind the fallen drawbar remain
Ing whole and unframed. II was be-
lieved that there were six tramps on
the train. and after the wreck only
three were to be seen, but the bodies
were not found and there Is no truth
In the report that three we're killed.
The wreck delayed the west hound
passenger train only about two hours,
the debris being cleared away in that
time. The loss for the road will
amount to quite a good deal, since all
of the thirteen cars were laden to their
utmost capacity.
