LEO'S FINAL INSTRUCTIONS.
All Presents Received While Pope
VIII Go to the Vatican.

ROME, July 4-rhe Pope, as though
feeling that the end was really approach
ing this morning, took much trouble in CIV
ing his last instructions. Speaking with
evident effort to his private secretaries
Monsignors Angeli and Marzolini. his Holt
ness repeated the instructions previously
given that all the presents received by him
on the occasion of his jubilee in 1SSS. which
are of the greatest value, shall be the prop
erty OF the Holy See and telling in which
drawer would be found the most costly,
which are to be personally delivered to his
successor. With an evident feeling of sad
ness the Pontiff spoke of all the sacred
objects he had gathered. Behind a screen
in the Pope's library are the presents given
his Holiness on the occasion of this years
jubilee. These are destined for poor
churches. The Pontiff expressed the hope
that IL he were not alive on his named day.
St yoachim,s day tAug. 16), the usual fete
would be given.
Although much has been said about the
Pope's will, nothing positively is known.
except that on receiving his nephews his
Holiness said: 'As Pope / do not possess
anything, as live by the aims Of the faith
full 1t would be great detriment 10 the
church II / should destine TO my family
even the smallest part of what the people
send me by denying themselves. AS TO my
personal property" the Pontiff concluded,
II divided that among you long ago
This declaration did not surprise anyone,
it being we'll known how strong an anti
nepotist Pope Leo has always been. When
the Pontir alluded to his personal fortune
ne meant his patrimony. of which almost
two-thirds came into his hands through
the death OF his uncles and brothers. Be-
sides this he had what was called his
prelateur. a sum OF 10000 scuddi. which. for
that period, was a large amount, and to
which, in papal times. was entitled any
member OF family embracing the priest
hood. This was given In order TO put him
In position to continue his career. In
1881 Pope Leo had all his fortune. estimated

proved by the President.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE President
has approved the action of the court-mar-
tial in the case of Second Lieutenant John
f. Mccarthy. Nineteenth Infantry. recently
stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He
was convicted of duplicating his pay ac-
counts and sentenced to be dismissed from
the army.
In announcing the Presidents action,
Secretary Root added the following memo
randum: 1.-THE attention of the secretary
of war has been drawn to numerous vio-
,ations of the regulations governing the
transfer and assignment Of pay accounts,
especially by young officers who are not
vet fully conversant with the requirements
of army regulations in that regard. The
law and regulations are alike explicit in
respect to this practice, and operate to de-
prive of validity all transfers or asesign-
ments of claims TO pay until the fright
thereto has fully accrued and the account
has become lawfully due and payable.
Young officers are reminded that the avoid
ance of debt, a rigorous economy in ex-
penditure and scrupulous regard for pc
cuniary obligations are absolutely essen
tial 10 good standing in the military service
and departures from the standard of pro-
bity in that regard will not be lightly re-
garded by the War Department
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-07-15

WASHINGTON, July Alt seems to be a
general understanding among officials of the
War Department who ought to know, that
the name of Robert Shaw Oliver, who has
just been appointed assistant secretary of
war, will be favorably considered for sec
rotary Of war when Secretary Root retires
from the cabinet. 1t has been known for
some time that on the completion of GER
tain important matters which Secretary
Root has in hand, he intends to return to
New York TO resume the practice Of law.
Just when this might happen has been, and
is still, very indefinite. Secretary Root will
sail for England the last of August to take
his place chairman of the American COM
mission in the Alaska boundary case. 1t
is understood that he will continue as Sec
rotary of war during the time he is abroad.

pathy, and President Curran Wns
Left without support.

CHICAGO, July 14.-Freight handlers at
all the railroad warehouses in the city will
be ordered tomorrow by President Law
renee j. Curran to handle all the freight
that is presented at their station. no mat
ter from whom it comes. Twenty-Five men
discharged by the Chicago Terminal Trans
fer Railroad for refusing 10 handle freight
from the Kellogg Switchboard and Supply
Company on Saturday will return to the
Western-avenue freight house and apply
for their old positions with the understand
ing that they will handle all kinds Of
freight. The action of President Curran
and the executive board followed a meet
ing of the transfers joint council. which
declared it would not join in a sympathetic
strike.
The return of the freight handlers will
save Curran from being enjoined by the
Federal Court from interfering with the
company's business should Judge Grosscup
tomorrow decide to grant the application
for an order restraining the freight hand
lers and teamsters from endeavoring to
hinder the delivery of freight TO the Ter

manliness and passion for fair play which
alone, il would appear, have moved Mr..
