Poem In Which Late POntin Regret
ted Evils Of Past Ages.
B Pope Leo Kill, rendered into Eng
lish by Andrew Lang.]
Renowned in letters. famed in art.
The age recedes; OF many a thing
Won for mans good from natures heart
Who will may sing.
The glories of the faded years
/ rather. backward glancing. mourn
The deeds Ill done. the wrongs. the tears
OF the age outworn.
Red wars tina reeked with the blood Of
Wide wandering license, scepters rent.
Fierce guile that threats the Vatican
These l lament.
Where is thy glory, stainless, free.
City Of cities. queenly Rome?
Ages and nations kneeled to thee.
The p~ontiffs' home.
Woe for a time of goddess laws!
What faith. what loyalty abides?
Torn from the shrines. the ancient cause
To ruin glides.
Listen! How cience wildly raves
Around the affairs overtime wn.
Brute Nature. with the world~fo slaves,
Is God alone!
Not made in Gods own image now
Is man-'tis thus the wise dispute
But sprung from one same cell, they vow,
Are man and brute.
O blinded pride on chaos hurled!
o night proclaimed where light should
be, LII
Obey thou him who rules the world,
Man, and be free!
He only is the Truth, the Life;
He only points the heavenward way:
He only frees the soul from strife
II men obey.
Twas he who led the pious throng
But now to Peters dust divine;
OF faith to live through ages long,
No empty sign!
Jesus, he Judge of years to be, II
Direct the tides. the tempest still
And make tie rebellious people free
To work thy will.
Sow thou the seeds of happy peace;
All evil drive from us afar.
And bid the rage and tumult cease
OF hateful war.
The minds of kings and peoples mold:
Thy word may all enjoy with awe.
But there one Shepherd and one fold,
One faith, one law.
My course is run long ninety years
Thy gifts are rhine; thy grace retain;
Let not thy servants prayers and tears
Be poured in vain.

III the hot air and then gradually dis
appeared.
For a moment, the crowd believed
that the signal meant an election. foI
there is a tradition that the cardinals
are allowed to send up a little smoke
as a notification OF an election and
much smoke in. the case Of a disa,
greement. Any such hopes, however,
were almost Immediately dissipated
when a cloud of very thick smoke
emerged and continued for five min.
,utes.
With many calculations Of disap-
pOintment the populace watched the
last trace Of the ballots disappear and
then dispersed.
Last nights failure to achieve an
election was a great disappointment to
Rome. The mute signal showing that
the morning ballot had been fruitless
was seen at 1920 a.. m. by many
thousands also, but the watchers in
the morning, owing to the intense heat
of the sun, were compelled to shelter
themselves behind the colonnade.
There are thousands OF rumors and
unverifed statements afloat as to
what happened in the %conclave Sun
day. but the only thing which seems
to he reliably known is that the entire
sacred college assisted at mass. which
was conducted by Father Palmieri,
their c%onfessor, and that the veni crea.
tor was sung.
A great quantity of provisions was
sent into the %conclave Sunday through
the wicket gate. including 900 chick
ems, 500 newly laid eggs. many litres
of milk. crates of fruit, etc. All the
provisions were thoroughly examined
before being allowed to pass through
the wicket. Forty of the chickens
were cut open to see that they did not
contain contraband matter.
Sent to the camerlengo.
Letters and kilograms for the cardi-
| nails were sent in to the camerlengo,
who does as he thinks best about de.
livering them.
The Spanish students, who are par
ticularly anxious about the condition
| of Cardinal Herrera, asked DR.. Lap
poni through the wicket how he was
and the doctor replied that he was a
little better, but still confined to his
bed and, that the condition OF Cardi
nal Cretoni was unchanged. It is un
derstood that the latter did not wish
to participate in the %conclave, but was
almost forced to do &c. He is nov

Several attempts to establish com

been discovered in time and ther'
have been some suspicious light'

cardinals which were interpreted a

, 4 MINORITY TRUST BILL.
Submitted 10 snc House by Democratic
 Committee Members.

Washington, Jan. 29.--A minority re-. port was submitted to the house to-day by the democratic members og the house judiciary committee on the anti-% trust bill recently reported by the conn. naittee. The views of the minority are submitted at considerable length. They propose an amendment which will make the bill applicable in it's operations to. existing corporations as we'll as to those. organized in the future, and will deny all corporations violating the Sherman antitrust law the use of mails, tele-. graph and telephone systems, as well as the other facilities of interstate conn- merce specified in the bill reported. An other amendment proposes to make watered stock grounds for declaring a corporation bankrupt. Still another amendment provides that every cor. poration engaged in interstate con- merce wherever organized shall be sub-s ject to the jurisdiction of the state in. which it may operate. Provision is made by the minority for the imposi-
 tion of a tax on all corporations with a
 capital in excess of $200,000. In addi-. tion to imposing fine where common
 carriers knowingly transport the goods of corporation violating the anti-trusts law, provision is made by the minority for summary seizure and condemnation of such goods. Finally, the minority
 proposes an amendment putting on thas free list certain articles manufactured
 of steel, agricultural implements, paper
 and pulp for the manufacture of paper
 window and plate glass, salt and other
 articles. ----.

SOUTHERN PACIFTCvS DISASTER.
Neither Train nWarned-TerribIe Impact
 of the Collision,

Tucson, Arizona, Jan. 29-The coro-
 ner's jury empanelled to-day by Coro-
 her Culver viewed the remains of four
 teen victims of yesterdays disaster on
 the Southern Pacific near Vails Sta
 tion. The list of dead is now placed at
 twenty-four. Identification was diffi-
 cult, and the body of J. M. Hilton was
 the only one identified with certainty
 Other bodies are being taken from the
 ruins. It was stated to-day that the
 four colored porters of the dining car
 are missing, not having been seen since
 the disaster. The total number of dead
 thus far reported is twenty-four, and it is now believed that the fatalities will number not less than thirty-five. The
 total injured, as far as heard from, number forty-seven and the death list ultimately may reach thirty-five.
 The failure of George Clough, night operator at Vails Station, to deliver or ders to the west-bound train, known as the Sunset Limited, was the cause of the collision. Neither train was warn- ed. When six miles west of Vail's Sta- ton, running at a speed of fifty miles an hOur ana foulalnS Snafp curve the west bound train crashed into the Sunset Limited, running forty-five miles an hour The crash and the
 scenes immediately following were be- yond description. So great was the impact from the two flying trains that the two engines reared up and the boil
 CTS were crushed like shells The cars immediately in the rear rushed upon
 the mass of heated iron and piled up in tangled mass. Fire broke out at once.

CYRUS COBB DEAD,
Boston's Famous Sculptor and Musician
 Passes Away.

Boston, Jan 29.-Boston's famous sculptor, painter and musician, Cyrus Cobb, died to-day at the residence of his son in Alliston, where he had made his home for six years past, at the age of sixty-eight. Cyrus, and his brother Darius, who survives him, were twin sons of Rev. Dr. Sylvanus Cobb of Maiden, Mass, and were among the most remarkable twins who have lived in modern times. Both were artists, both were sculptors, bth musicians, and both had exactly similar tastes in lit erature, amusements. in everything. Their personal resemblance was so marked that very few persons could tell them apart and their lives had been closely interwoven from their birth. Both had been life long devotees of art of a national character. Cyrus had produced many works of sculpture and painting, had directed choruses and had lectured on art.
 In painting, the brothers met with notable success. One of Cyrus Cobb's last works was the model for the equestrian statue of General Phil Sher- idan and two of his famous paintings are "Warren in the Old South" and Jesus Condemned" MT. Cobb was for years a member of the Boston art club and was also a member of Post 30 G. A. R. of Cambridge,

The exemplificatian of good fellow ship was amply Illustrated at the Un- ion League club last evening. The oc- casion was the annual banquet given
 by the club, and as it is very likely the
 last that will be held in the old build-
 ing, 1t was made a. red-letter day in the
 clubs history. At about seven o'clock
 the guests and members began to arrive and all were given royal welcome.
 The billiard and pool tables were all moved out of the upstairs rooms and
 the whole upper floor turned into a
 large dancing hall The rooms were all magnificently decorated with a red,
 white and blue effect, and this was
 brought about by the unlimited display of silk United States flags and bunting.
 The perfume of flowers filled the air.
 and they and potted plants were to be
 found everywhere. The tables were
 decorated with them and green leaves
 and these combined with the silver and
 glass presented a beautiful appearance.
 At one end of the room 8 large round
 table had been placed. This was occu- pied by President Martin of the club and the invited guests. Seated on his
 right was Governor Chamberlain and
 on the left Professor Emery, represent ing Yale university, Secretary of State Charles G. R. Vinal,and next to him Speaker of the House of Representa- tives Michael Kenealey, of Stamford Ex- Mayor Farnsworth, Hon. George M Gum and a number of other distin- guished gentlemen were also seated at this table. About one hundred and fif- ty members of the club were seated at a number of other tables which com- pletely filled the rooms. George White (Continued on Sixth Page.)
