Believed Robert Shaw Oliver Will
Be Named Secretary
of War.

Washington, July 15.-It seems to
be a general understanding among Off
Gals OF the war department. who onght
to know, that the name of Robert Shaw
Oliver, who has just been appointed as
s:sta"t secretary of war, will be favor
ably considered for secretary of war
when Secretary Root retires from the
cabinet. 1t has been known for some
time that on the completion of certain
matters which Secretary Root has in
hand he intends to return to New York
to resume the Practice of law. Just
when this might happen has been and
still is very indefinite. Secctary Root
will sail for England the last of August
to take his place as chairman OF the
Amer lean commission in the Alaska
boundary case. 1t is understood that
he will continue as secretary OF war
during the time he is abroad. In case
the affairs that have been under his
special charge, and in which he is very
much interested, are still unsettled
when he shall have returned to this
country, it ia understood that he will
continue to be secretary of war. There
are other considerations which may
prolong his stav as a member of the
cabinet until after the next session of
congress adjourns.

SURPRISING RALLY.
Doctors Confess the Pope Puz.
zIes Them-Goes Against
All Theories.

Rome, July l5.-Another remarka-
BILE rally occurred yesterday afternoon
in the condition of Pope Leo, after a
morning in the course which his holt
ness suffered spells OF delerium and at
times his strength sank to the lowest
ebb, and now he lies in no orse condi-
ton, apparently, than he was on Mon
day evening. except for the steady dim
unition OF his strength.
Monsignsr Bisieti, master of the
chamber. visited the sick room just
after midnight. and on emerging stated
that the pontiff's condition was un-
changed. A little later the pope fell
into a sleep, which was fairly tranquil,
although the patients respiration was
troublesome.
Yesterdays rally was characteristic
ally opposed to every medical theory
and consisted in getting out of bed, on
which two hours previously the pope
himself had made all preparations for
death. dissatisfied with this exhibition
OF vitality he transacted private bust
ness and received four cardinals, with
whom he talked in an animated way.
Astonishes the Doctors
In fact, Pope Leo's record for yester-
day, little of which occurred in last
nights official bulletin, would be in

credible If it were not confirmed by the
doctors and cardinals present in the
sick chamber. None seem more per-
picked than the doctors themselves.
DR.. Lapponi said frankly:
81 cannot imagine how the pope
manages to keep alive
According to the physicians the pom
tiff may die at any time, even in the
midst Of one of those extraordinary in
tervals when his mind and body present
a comparatively sound appearance.
All those around the patient have
long since ceased to hold definite opin-
ions regarding the duration of the pom
tiff's existence. The slow but progress
ing dimunition OF strength of the au-
gust patient foret.lls the approaching
end OF the struggle, bnt the doctors will
not venture TO predict how near the
end j.

NOT A FELONY.
First Decision in Merchandise
Paying Slot Machine Casas
Is Rendered.

Seattle, July l5.-The operation of
merchandise paying slot machine is a
misdemeanor, not a felony. This was
the ruling made by Judge Bell yester-
day in the superior court. when called
to pass sentence upon Harry Smith,
convicted OF running trade paying
machine at Ill Yesler way. The court
Indicted a fine OF 800, the extreme
penalty prescribed by the anti-slot ma
chine law. The fine was promptly paid
from funds OF the Liquor Dealers Pro-
tective Association.
Although the slot machine benef-
Charles are jubilant over what they re-
gard as the achievement of final deci-
sion in their favor, there was an nm-
nous reservation in the in the language
OF the court in announcing his ruling
upon the issue raised in the Smith test
case. Judge Bell said that if in auoth-
er case it should appear that the opera
ton OF a slot machine made its locat ion
a gam bling resort, the offense thereby
might be brought within the purview
OF the general law making the conduct
OF all games of chance felony.
Motions for new trial and in arrest
of judgment were denied by the court.
and the issue was decided, upon the
objection of the defense to the intiiction
OF penalty under the felony law, and
the motion that the offense be treated
as a misdemeanor.
The contention of the counsel for the
defense was raised at every stage of the
case that as the ant-gambling law and
the special law touching merchandise
paying machines are in conflict the
special law must control, according to
the accepted rule OF statutory construc-
ton. Judge Bell briefly stated his &C.
ceptance of that view, and with the
sentence of the defendant for viola
tion of the slot machine act the test
case was ended.

ly had quieter day than Yesterday,
with the result that last nights official
bulletin declared him to be a little less
depressed. In the morning, after
night during which stimulants and
nursing restored him to fairly good
condition, the pope complained of sore
ness due to the many DAYS he had pass
ed in bed. To relieve this and to hu.
NOR him, the patient was allowed to sit
in his arm chair for short time, with
apparent good effect.
The celebration of mass in honor OF
st. Leo and the pope's conversation
with Mgr. Pifferi We're the only Incl
dents that relieved the tedium of the
sick chamber. From last nights ex-
animation it appeared that the liquid
in the pleura was at about the same
level which is marked with dermo-
graphic pencil on the pontiff's side
The physicians think the liquid
amounts to about l,2O0 gramnes.
Considering the physical condition OF
the pope the doctors do not believe it
possible that his body can absorb it.
