which Is Investigating bribery In the

Circuit Attorney Folk He refused to
answer, and the circuit attorney applied
to Judge Douglas for an order compelling
him to do so. On three OF the questions
Judge Douglas sustained Carrolls con-
tention that he could refuse to answer
on the ground that answers might in
crininate himself. Judge Douglas orr
dered him to answer the fourth question.
The questions were as follows:
"Do you know ANYTHING about s25 600
that was paid to one John A. Lee?"
'"Do you know anything about money
paid to legislators at Jefferson City?"
"Do you have any knowledge of money
maid to legislators at ST. LOUISE"
"Do you have any knowledge of money
paid to legislators by other persons than
yourself?"
Carroll answered the fourth question,
saying he had no knowledge OF money
used by other persons to influence legis-
lation.

OYSTER BAY. July fI.--Secretary OF
state John Hay is a guest OF president
Roosevelt to-day at Sycamore Hill. Mat
ters of grave Importance to this country,
In its international relations. We're under
consideration during the afternoon and
evening.
The conclusions reached at the confer
ence are not disclosed, both the President
and Secretary Hay regarding It as mex
pedient at this time to discuss. for pupll-.
cation, the details of their work. 10 Two
subjects of serious concern most OF tnei1
attention was turned. They considered IN
all its phases the Russian situation. par
tlcularly with respect to the B Nal BIRTH
petition which it had been deter
mined will be forwarded to the Russian
government, and the Alaskan boundary
question, which next month is to be taken
up for what Is hoped may be final adjust
ment by the American and British COM
mission In London.
Among the Presidents other visitors
were Senators Hanna, Fairbanks and
Kearns. Senator Hanna assured the news
paper men that his visit to the President
had no political significance. When one
of his interviewers asked II lie thought
The would be able to manage the next
Republican national campaign, he replied
laughingly. NOW you are GetuHs ~
qulsitve. Really. that Is matter which
has not been determined so far as know.
That question of the national chairman
ship can be determined only by future
events"
When the other visitors had gone the
President and Secretary Hay continued
their conference until far into the night.
1t is regarded ms likely that some devel-
opments In the Russian situation may be
expected In few days.

Throughout the city yesterday q con-

military have been entirely withdrawn
from the streets and that cars are being
run in the old style, without the protec-
ton Of musket and bayonet.
A new line was opened and another
link In the chain which the street rail-
way company is gradually but surely
filling out again was added Further
steps were taken in the direction Of the
complete re- establishment of the sys-
tern on regular schedule. toward Whlch
end the management is constantly work
ing; large batch of new. men were
taken in, applications being received
from the very soldiers themselves.
OnS the side OF the strikers the day
closed without Incident; the men appear
to be standing firm as usual, manifest
ing utterly no disposition to surrender
or end the strike until they get what
they want. A similar state Of quiet pre-
vailed among the military, and few, II
any, new orders We're issued. Many OF
the men have gone home on furlough
which means nothing more nor less thar
that the troops arc Eefng gradually

t ROME, July 7.--Nhen DIR. Afasznni went
this morning to The Vatican Or. Lapponi
made full report TO him as to how the
Pope had passed the. night Then both
entered the sick room. Pope Leo smiled
benevolently at DIR. Mazzon. but seemed
not to have sufficien strength 10 speak.
The doctors nsked: "How Is Your I1oli-
ness?" To this inquiry the Pontitf, In
a faint voice. replied: "I have no illusion
and am resigned" Then he raised his
eyes, while his lips moved, evidently in
PRAYER. The doctors then proceeded to
make most minute examination of the
pa tient. listening to his breathing and
testing his lungs. The Pope this morning
having expressed a desire to read the
Obscrvatore Romano and the Voce Leila
verita, to see what they were saying
about his Illness special editions Of the
journals were prepared and sent to His
Holiness.
Following Is the text OF the bulletin
regarding the condition of His Holiness
issued at a:3o o'clock this morning.
"The Pope passed a restless night, with
out sleep. Nourishment. however: has
been more freely taken. and the general
condition of the patient is little more
reassuring An objective examination
shows change in the right of the tho
rax and the middle lobe OF the lung, which
UP to yesterday did not permit the pas
sage of air. now allows the air to pene-
trate. On the other hand, the interior
zone has become more obtuse. and the

that there is liquid In the pleura- An

desire of again taking communion. not
wlthstanding the fact that he received
the last communion on Sunday and ex-
treme JUNCTION yesterday evening. Mon
s.gnor Marzolni, one Of the chamber
lains. therefore performed both ceremo-
nies. The Pope showed great serenity,
repeating that he felt quite PREPARED pre-, ito to
and then expressed the hope that he
might yet recover. The Pontiff afterwards
received his niece and Count Canal her
