THE BORNEO "SEIZURE.
FFThe Chronicle" Thinks the Situa-
ton To Be Delicate.

London. July 17.-According to "The Daily
Chronicle" the action of America in annexing
the islands off Borneo raises exceedingly
delicate situation, and the British Foreign Office
has asked Washington for an explanation
The islands concerned, says the paper, are
group of seven which originally belonged to the
Sultan of Sulu. from whom they passed by
charter in 1881 to the control OF the British
North Borneo Company, whose officers confirm
that they are undoubtedly British territory.
They are insignificant in size, but Of the highest
strategic Importance, dominating Sandakan har-
Dor and Labukay. Their names are Taganae,
Baguan, Bakkungaan, Lihman, Sibaung, Beeaan
and Lankayan.
The American side of the question. as given
by the United States Embassy. says THE
Daily Chronicle" is that the islands are un-
doubtedly American by right Of conquest, hav-
ing belonged to the Philippines. and the Sui
tan of SuIu having confirmed and acknowl-
edged American supremacy over them. The
course taken was to demonstrate Americas
right and establish more clearly defined line
between the American possessions in the Phil
ippines and Sulu Sea. and the territories OF
the British Borneo Company.
The islands had never been occupied by any
European nation, and it is unknown whether
Spain ever recognized the trading treaty
which existed between the BOrneo Company
and the inhabitants of the Islands.

TRUST IN RAMPOLLA.
Pope Confers on Him, Bitterly at
tackled, Greater HonOrS.

Rome. July 16-The tenacity Of Pope Leo Is
remarkable. not only in his organism. but also
in his feeling. The best example OF this is.
perhaps, the continual proofs Of confidence that
His Holiness bestows on Cardinal Rampolla,
who after faithfully serving the Pope for six
teen years, is now being made the object of most
bitter attacks, especially in the last few days.
because of the friendly attitude of the Papacy
toward France.
The Pontiff seems TO have had an intuition
that while he lies on his deathbed Cardinal
RampoIla's adversaries are beginning to take
advantage of his tottering power to pull down
the idol which until yesterday they worshipped
so His Holiness leaves nothing uninterrupted to
show the world up to the last moment how
much he trusts his Secretary Of State.
No one was admitted to the slclkroom to-day
except the Cardinal Secretary of State, who was
allowed to enter only on the repeated request
of Pope Leo who said to him that he desired
to confirm and extend the power which His
Frninerce already exercises because of his po-
siton. and authorized him to take measures
which in ordinary times would make necessary
the direct Intervention of the Pontiff. This was
done IN recognition of his personal devotion to
The Pontifr and the services he had rendered
10 the Church.
The Pope was much pleased when Cardinal
Rampolla informed him Of the universal mani
festation of sympathy toward His Holiness,
coming even from Protestants.

London. July 1.-THE morning papers which
comment on the announcement that the State
Department at Washington has received assur-
ances from the Chinese Government that it will
shortly open several ports to the worlds trade
congratulate Secretary Hay on the success he
has gained in the admission of the principle Of
the open door IN China, and while expressing
great suspicion that Russian diplomacy has left
some troublesome conditions in reserve. they are
inclined to believe that Secretary Hay is too
astute to put off with a mere paper concession.
THE Daily Graphic" says: while the real
ization of the policy which Mr. Hay has pur-
sued with such signal ability is perhaps still
remote, the concession obtained Is valuable as
showing which side the trump cards"
THE Daily News says the United States has
shown wisdom in rejecting the offer OF special
privileges.
