IN Tna BALANCE.
Pope's Life May End at Any Moment
Doctors 0lxe Up.

Rome, July 10, "a. m.--Another day
Of alternate hopes and fears has passed,
and Pope Leo's life still hangs in the
balance. Beginning with renewed
hopes, the day closed with the scales
tending slowly but surely downward.
How long this agonizing period OF sus-
pense will last not even the attending
doctors dare to say.
No night bulletin was issued, but at
] rs this morning 1t was learned from
DR.. Mazzoni that the condition OF the
pontif had not changed since the Is
sue Of the evening bullstIn at 1880
O'Clock, which announced that the pa.
tents state was grave, at which hour
DR.. Lapponi had declared his fear that
there was no hope, but the end might
not come during the night.
The mere fact Of the consultation in
itself gave rife to the gIoomiest for
bodings. Indeed, this was the first
actual consultation, as the previous fre-
quent meetings Of the doctors we're not
regarded as formal consultations. To-
day, however, DR.. Rossini, the distin-
guished specialist Of the Bacelli school,
was called in q consultation lasting
two hours, during which every phase
Of the patients case was minutely gone
over. The conclusions announced in
the 1880 bulletin showed that liquid is
again gathering In tbs pleuial cavity,
and that. the pope's general condition
is very grave.
Following the issuance Of this bullet
in, the doctors freely expressed their
personal convictions regarding the OK.
treme gravity Of the case. DR.. La.
ponpi said, without qualification, that
the patients condition was beyond
hope. He did not expect a final COL
lapse tonight. but rather q gradual
sinking until the end came. How long
the sufferer may last the doctors will
not venture any prediction. Ordinary
calculations, they say, fail to apply in
this extraordinary case. One Of them
remarked today:
"Hers is man almost 100 years old
retaining all his mental and most OF
his physical faculties, and braveIy com.
batting the appr, ach OF death. AZ
though the conditions change from hour
to hour, the essential conditions of
mental alertness and physical yigpr
continue unbrokens Never yet has
there been the slightest Iapse into in
coherency."

USE MONEY TO BHAT BILL.
Chinese Tactics Against HanIIa Opium
Measure Are Exposed.

~~~@~ sAAS ~a>tSSse
Manila, July l1.- Representatives
Of the Chinese chamber of commerce
and the Evangelical Onion, argued for
ak hours today in opposing the opium
bill at the public discussion o! that
peasuEe on the occasion Of its third
reading, The Chinese advocated that
there be no change in the present in-
discriminate sale Of opium, with addi-
tional government supervision Of its i'm.
portation. The Evangelical Union del
egates urged the prohibition OF the sale
OF opium by the United States COM
mission, and expressed the most sensa-
tiOnal conditions prevailing, alleging
that the Chinese are tampering with
the newspapers and raising fund des.
tined to be used in bringing about the
defeat Of the bill.
The object of the opium bill is to cre-
ate an opium monopoly in the srchi.
pelago and sell it to the highest bidder.
It is based on the theory that it will
restrict the use of the drug to chinese,
who have used il all THEN lives. and
prevent its indiscriminate sale to
Americana and Filippinos, many of
whom are falling victims to the use of
opium.
Sales Of the drug are to be controlled
by concesaionary, Who may acquire
the, right to sell opium in the islands
by bidding for the privilege every three
years. There are provisi ms for
licenses and control Of the traffic. .

Land Buyers IN the AM.

The announcement few days ago
that the secretary Of the interior has
disapproved a number of "clear lists
in Oregon lieu land selections, disclos-
es something entirely new in the land
matters in Oregon. None Of the state
land office attaches have ever before
heard of clar list being disapproved.
This unusual action on the part of the
secretary Of the interior is conclusive
proof, IL any further procf is neces
sary. that all Oregon land matters are
to be- scrutinized with utmost care.
The disapproval Of these clear lists
occasioned no small surprise. though
the action is entirely in accordance

Chicago, Dec. 3.--While Custodian
Paul Redieske, chief Of the aides OF

late this afternoon that the Dowie in
dustries there are bankrupt and have
never earned cent on the investment.
Federal Judge Kohlstaat in Chicago for
mally granted ,ue application OF cred
itors Of John Alexander Dowie by
which the latter will be compelled to
appear for examination before a ref
cree in bankruptcy.
He will have to face questions as to
why the industries at Zion City have
not made return on the capital in
vested, despite his Dragging to the con-
trary.
"Our examination" said Custodian
Redieske, has shown that the indus
tries are fiat broke. They have yield
pect that they will under present meth
DDS. There is report that Dowle has
'saited' away a million donars or SO,
but as to that do not know. But as
to Zion City industries they are

By the action OF Judge Kohlsaat,
Dowie will have to appear before the
referees in bankruptcy, Syduey G. East
man and Frank l.. Dean, and answer
questions as to his methods Of collect
ing money and Its disposal. The hear
ing will begin as soon as the receivers
of Zion City have examined the books
sufficiently to enable them to deter
mine Dowie's financial difficulties.
Want is staring the Inhabitants Of
Zion City in the face. Zion City and
the 1000 employees in the various fac
tories fear the salary roll aggregating
$62500 due Saturday will not be paid.
The 10000 people who live there are
clamoripg, for money instead Of scrip
and they fear that absolute hunger
will result from the conditions now
prevailing.
Dowle In MS extremity, mas changed
his attitude toward his people. Before
he fiayed them with his demands for
money Now he is wheedling and
promising. This fact came out at the
mass meeting at Shilch tabernacle
when he asked for 100000 and as
serted his intention to ask 100000
from lions followers throughout the
country, Reading the verses of the
34th psalm one by one and intersper-
ing the reading with running fire OF
remarks, Dowie told his audience that
they were the ''salt of the earth" and
the only righteous. For an hour he
pleaded.
"Ah, beloved children, you blessed
ones to whom God and have given
the greatest of all blessings-the res
toration of heaven upon earth-shall
