THE POPE'S PREDICTION.
Confers Upon The Secretary or state
Enlarged Authority.

Rome, July 1s.-At the festival of
the Carmeitc Madonna, and because OF
Pope Leo's particular devotion to this
Madonna, special prayers on behalf OF
his holiness were offered in all the
churches after the celebration of mass.
The pontiff's own prediction that his
death, if it were to result from the
present illness, would occur upon that
day was recalled with emotion.
The pope was sufficiently at ease to
receive Cardinal Rampolla, and his
holiness. conferred upon him the en-
larged authority made necessary by
his illness.
The pontitf seems to have had an in
tuition that while he lies dying Car
dnal Eampolla's advcrsarics are be-
ginning to take advantage of his
tottering power to pull down the idol
which until now they worshipped, so
his holiness leaves nothing unattempt-
ell to show the world up to the last
moment how much he trusts his sccre-
tary of state.

WANT TO BUY TIMBER LANDS
Railroads Would Make Sure OF
Their Supply OF Ties.
WILL ACQUIRE LARGE TRACTS.

Chicago, July 20.--pans are being
developed by a number of the principal
lines of railroad ccntering in Chicago
by whicL the companies will acquire
large tracts of timber land along their
routes to furnish cross ties in the fu-
turc.
The Burlington, the Illinois Central,
the Santa te and the Frisco systems
have been making inquiries and send
ing out searchers after suitable lands.
Recently the bureau of forestry OF the
government agricultural department
has been called upon by several of
these roads for information that would
assist in the perfection of the plans.
If the idea is successful the railroads
of the West will in short time become
the owners of immense areas of timber
lands and they will also become inter
ested in the preservation of forest
trees to an extent that has never been
undertakes before even by the national
government The move is due to the
difficulty the railroads experience in
getting supplies OF cross ties at reason
able prices and at the times needed.
tits said the government experiments
have shown that other woods than
those formerly used can be proitably
made into ties The success of this
demonstration has led to the idea of
the roads buying timbcrbe bearing lands
near their tracks from which the future
tie supply can be drawn.
1t is possible that much timber hith-
crto counted as worthless can be
utilized for ties after proper treatment
and will even outlast the tmbers for
mcrly used. The haul the railroads
roads have to make to get the ties TO
the places where they are needed is
each year growing more and more ex-
pensive and vexatious. The new plan
will supply the timbcrs at points more
convenient for handling than is posi-
BILE under the present system of pur-
chasing from contractors wherever the
latter happen to find few thousand
trees that are suitable for ties.
I'm accordance with the demand of
the railroad and telegraph companies
for some relief from the present condi-
tions and the danger of steady fall
ing off in the possible supply of poles
and ties in the near future the forestry
bureau of the agricultural department
will this summer continue on large
scale experiments in handling timbers
of different varieties, On the success
or failure of these experiments the
scheme to get possession of the timber
lands will depend.
