CARDINAL OREGLIA.

families remaining faithful to the
papacy, and all high dignitaries of the
church, passed in solemn procession
before the bier of the late pontiff.
The papal throne had been removed
and in it's place under the famous red
silken canopy on the stall bed lay the
body of Leo XIII. Over the bed was
thrown an old damask covering on
which the body reposed robed in
white vestments, with red rochet and
camauero hood, and on the feet slip
pers embroidered in gold. The thin
hands were clasped over the chest
and held tightly small ivory crucifix.
At the four corners of the bed stood
lighted candles 10 feet high. At the
foot of a cross on a small table at the
right of the body was crystal bowl
filled with holy water, from which
each cardinal whenever he passed the
body sprinkled it and uttered bene-
diction. The silence was only broken
by the solemn chanting of six Fran
ciscan penitentiaries, who. kneeling at
the bench at the foot of the bier, con-
tinued an incesSant supplication.
There was no carpet on the marble
floor and not flower could be seen,
according to the strict ritual of the
last hOnors of the church to the pom
tiff. AS each lay or clerical dignitary
entered ,the throne room he advanced
to the side of the dead. took Il last
look at the body and then withdrew.
Outside the throne room the long cor
ridors of the vatican presented bril-
liant spectacle. At the entrance of
the court ST. Damaso. the pontifical
gendarmes were drawn up and rem
dered military honors as each car
riage drove in. The diplomats were in
full uniform, the princes and others
were dressed in deep black.
At this afternoon the doors of the
throne room were closed and the
Franciscan penitentiaries. assisted by
the attendants of the late pontiff be-
gan dressing the body in full pontifi-
cal robes At the procession will be
formed and the body taken to ST.
Peters.
For the Election.
In the meanwhile the congregation
of cardinals met in the hall of the
consistory, under the presidency of
Cardinal Oreglia. 1t was determined
TO arrange for the accommodation of
the cardinals during their enforced
secIusion at the conclave in exactly
the same manner as when Pope Leo
was elected.
Rome, July 22.-The body of Leo
XIII lay last night in the hall of the

AFTER CABBY BROWN.
New Suit over Ownership of John Ii
Estate.

Estate,
Another suit was begun yesterday in
the circuit court to GUST G. A. Brown
from the John Ii estate. The Ii minors
by A. f. Judd, appointed as guardian
for the purposes of the action, brought
suit to have the will of John Ii again
construed, with view to having it de-
clared that all of the 1000 shares of the
estate are held in trust for the minors.
John Ii died in 1870 and the supreme
court held that his will did not estab-
fish any trust and that Irene Brown
was the owner of the estate. 1t is now
claimed that the Supreme court, as
then constituted, was an Illegal body,
two substitutes having been called to
the bench in place of two justices who
were disqualified. The plaintiff asks
that decree. be entered declaring that
the shares of the estate are to go to the
minors after the death of Mrs. Irene
Brown Holloway. A restraining order
is asked to prevent c. a. Brown and
j. A. Magoon from selling the shares
they hold.

The Cost of Settling the Coal Strike.

Considering the enormous money
losses and the actual physical suffer-
ing on the part of thousands and thou
sands of people caused by the coal
strike, the cost of settling it seems a
very trivial matter. Congress appro-
priated $4,000 for the expenses of the
commission and of this about one
fourth will be turned back into the
treasury. The whole cost of the in
vestigations, salaries, expenses, special
train to visit the mining region, wit
nesses, stenographers, ETC., will be less
than $3S,000,-not bad figure for a
government commission in session
from October "a to March % and deal
ing with matters involving many mil
lion dollars and of vital interest to mil
lions OF our people.
What tribute this is to the principal
of arbitration as applied in a great
crisis by President Roosevelt. 1t is a
precedent whose weight must be felt
far into the future. ana, pest OF all, II
the mine workers are faithful to their
promise, the award of the commission
assures tranquility and continuous
work in the anthracite region for q
period of three years. Will they keep
their word? Time only can tell. If
they strike again within three years, it
will be hardly possible to get the OPP
orators a second time to refer their
claims to arbitration. Some of the
miners express dissatisfaction with
the award, but probably they will be
more contented when they get the lump
sum coming to them by way o. in
creased wages from November l, 1902.

have gone much nearer the object of
their search, getting within 24O miles

south than was formerly supposed and
it may reach clear to the pole.
