CASSINI DID SAY 1T.
Correspondent Sticks to His Origi-
nal story.

Correspondent Sticks to His Origi-
nal story.
Washington, July 20.-Ln CONVEX
sation at the Russian embassy on the
afternoon of June 20, with the Asso-
ciated Press representative, Count
Cassini referred to the call of Secretary
Hay the day previous and expressed
his qualification at its results. The
ambassador, in reply to the question
as to whether Manchuria was under
discussion during the call, replied in
the affirmative, stating that he mad
assured Mr.. Hay that Russia would
execute to the letter her pledges in
Manchuria, and at the proper time
would concede certain ports.
1t is believed here that the point the
ambassador is endeavoring to make Is
that the general understanding reached
between himself and Secretary Hay at
the conference on June %, did not
specify the ports to be opened which
at the time had not been decided up
on. Moreover. when the ambassador
says no definite agreement had been
reached, it is assumed that he refers
to the fact that no written exchanges
passed between Secretary Hay and
himself at that time.

Rome. July 2o.-Pope Leo XIII is
dead. The last flicker of life was at
four minutes past o'clock this aft
ernoon, and the Pontiff now lies at
rest
The period of over two weeks that
Pope Leo passed in the shadow of
death was no less wonderful than his
life. His splendid battle against dis
ease was watched the world over with
sympathetic admiration and ended
only after a series of tremendous eff
forts to conquer the weakness of his
aged frame by the marvellous power
of his mind.
The pleuro- pneumonia with which
his holiness has been suffering was
scarcely as responsible for his death
as that inevitable decay of tissue
which ensues upon ninety-three years
of life. The tested STEEL which had
bent so often before human ills was
bound to break at last.
In His Robes of State.
Tonight the emaciated and lifeless
frame which held so brave spirit.
lies on the bed in the Vatican, beside
which almost all the world has prayed.
The red damask coverlet rests lightly
over the body, the cardinals scarlet
cap is about the shoulders, while on
his head has been placed the papal
hood of velvet, bordered with ermine.
A white silk handkerchief is bound
about the chin and in the hands, which
have blessed so many thousands, has
been placed a crucifix. So Pope Leo
will remain until tomorrow, watched
by uniformed officers of the Noble
Guard, and rough-clad Franciscan DO
tentiaries, who will keep ceaseless
vigil until the burial takes place.
Tomorrow the sacred college of car
dinals will assemble for the impressive
ceremony of officially pronouncing
Pope Leo dead. After this function
has been performed the body will be
taken to the small throne room adjoin-
ing the death chamber, where is will
be embalmed. The funeral ceremonies
will extend over nine days, the re-
mains being removed to the Cathedral
of st. Peters, where they will lie in
state. The ultimate resting place Of
the dead Pontiff will be in the mag
nificent Basilica of st. John, the La
terna.

Last Moments Serene.
