MADDEN LETTER DEAD
AND ALL ELSE QUIET
Postofice Department Maintains Show
Of Exceptional Calm.

Postmaster General Payne was busy
this morning holding conferences with
the assistants and Mr. Robb. Assistant
Attorney General for the Postoffice De-
paTtment. 1t was said they were gath
ering up the odds and ends Of the in
vestigation and rounding things into
shape for the ten days trip which MIR.
Payne is 20 begin next Wednesday.
Everybody around the department is
keeping close about new features In the
investigation, and there is a general de-
sire to let them drop out OF the public
eye. The officials are guarding their ac-
tiohs and statements with this end in
view, as they do not want any sudden
1are-ups OF publicity like that which at
tended the letter of Z. c. Madden, Third
Assistant Postmaster General. to Mr.
Payne in regard TO the contract of the
General Manifold Company.
Mr.. Madden has now written to the
Postmaster General letter in which
he explains that he did not intend to
cast any reflection on his colleagues or
Mr.. Payne and was led to take his &C
tion by the publication of a strong at
tack upon himself while he was visiting
friends in Detroit The letter is taken
as sort of apology on Mr.. Madden's
part and the incident is now regarded
as closed Mr.. Payne said that the ex-
act contents of the letter would not be
disclosed.

BRIDGE APPROACHES
GENERALLY APPROVED

Colonel Allen. the engineer officer in
charge of improvements upon the Poto-
mac River. has returned to the chief Of
engineers OF the army the plans pre-
pared by the architects of the PennsyI-
Yania Railroad for the approaches to
the new railroad bridge across the Po-
tomac
The plans have also been submitted
to Colonel Symons, the officer in charge
OF public buildings and grounds. for his
inspection.
Both officers approve the plans In
general way, but offer suggestions for
minor changes which II approved by
General Gillespie will probably be
recommended and made
General Allen believes that the grade
Tor the temporary wagon roadway which
Is to be built for use during the course
OF construction Of the approaches should
be slightly lower and has so recon-
mended. This IS the principal change
which he would have made.

ADMIRALS OBJECT To
BATTLESHIP DESIGN
Desire More Speed and Increased Coal
Capacity in New Vessels.

Rear Admiral Bradford. chief OF the
Bureau of Equipment of the Navy and a
member Of the Board on Construction,
has filed with the Secretary of the Navy
a statement of his views in regard to the
design for the new 13.OO0-ton battleships
authorized by Congress at its last ses-
sion.
He does not agree with the board that
speed should be sacrificed. and points
out that these new vessels are the first
in several years to be designed for more
than sixteen and one-half knots. He
also asserts that the coal carrying ca
pacity OF LOO tons is insufficient, and
places the vessels at a disadvantage
when compared with other battleships.
Rear Admiral Melville. the chief engi-
neer. to a large extent shares the views
OF Rear Admiral Bradford.

RAILWAY employees
OUTING At RIVER VIEW
Probably Not Less Than 10000 People
on Grounds.

Conservative estimates place the num-
Der of persons who attended the outing
Of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company Employees Relief Association
at River View yesterday and last night
at no less than 10000 Six large steam
boats were making trips all day and ali
OF the evening between Washington and
the resort, and even then they had all
they could do TO accommodate the
throngs.
The officers of the vessels were COM
PEELED TO pack the people on board until
there was scarcely standing room This
happened on every trip. Yet. with all of
this rush and crowdlng, thousands of
people were crowded on the piers at
both ends of the trip either waiting TO
go down the river or to return to the
city.
With such an outpouring of friends, it
Is no wonder the affair financially and
socially was one Of the most successful
ever given in Washington.
The committee OF arrangements which
organized the outing and made the re-
suit what il was had as members the
following: Fred J. Mershelmer, chair
man of committee; c. E. Brown. secre-
tary; J. T. Moffett. treasurer; q. Frank
Hailman. chairman dancing; William s.
Ballinger, chairman boat and order com
mittee: E. r. MacCarthy.s chairman

Maurice Joyce, and H. W. Fuller, judges

MGR. FALCONIO FEARS
POPE CANNOT RECOVER

Mgr. Falconio, apostolic delegate to
Washington, received the following dis
patch this morning from Cardinal Ram
pOlla:
After calm night Holy Father feels
somewhat better"
That there is still hope for the Pope s
recovery is the view taken at the lega-
tion, but. while hopeful. the apostolic
delegate doubts the ability of man as
OLD as Pope Leo TO recover from such a
serious illness.
In discussing the criticism aroused by
Cardinal Gibbons departure for Rome
before the actual announcement OF the
Pope's death as contrary to the usual
etiquette. IL was said at the legation
this morning that Cardinal Gibbons was
justified in making his early start. and
that he might possibly have already re-
ceiyed call from Rome.
Bishop Rocker. who arrived in this
country last Tuesday on his way to
take up his diocese in the Philippines.
IL Is thought. is still in New York
state No news has yet been received
at the legation here as to his Intended
movements. 1t Is expected. however.
thai he will come 10 Washington next
week.

TYPHOID SUFFERER
LEAPS TO HIS DEATH
Patient at Providence Hospital Fails
Two Stories.

From a second story window OF the
Providence Hospital. Michael H. Dono-
van. a typhoid patient. plunged to his
death shortly after - o'clock this morn
ing Whether he leaped to end his suffer
ing or fell accidentally while standing
near the window is a mystery that viii
never be solved
A moment before a nurse had spoken
to him and found that he was not deliri-
Gus. 1t was while she was out OF the
room for a minute the patient met his
death.
He was twenty nine years old, brick
Boston. He had been at the hospital
about forty-eight hours.
shortly before u o'clock a nurse in
the typhoid ward made an examination
Of Donovan's condition He was found
to be perfectly rational. and showed no
indications of delirium After remov-
ing an ice bandage from the sick man S
head the nurse spoke to him. and re-
ceived coherent reply. Then she stole
from the room.
Donovan must have jumped from his
bed Immediately after the nurse had de-
parted. as only moment elapsed before
she returned. He made his way TO the
window. climbing over the sill to the
scaffolding on the outside OF the build =
ing From this he plunged, whether
purposely or accidentally will never he
known There is some ground for the
belief that he was suddenly seized with
delirium that resulted in suicidal mania
while another theory is that he had gone
to the window to breathe the fresh air.
The fall evidently caused instant
death. When his body was found short
ly after his absence was discovered life
was extinct. An examination OF his In
iuries showed that he had sustained a
fracture OF the skull

ARMY OFFICER PLANS
A COUP, WHICH FAILS

Army officers here are telling With
great glee the story OF a brother In the

GOVERNMENT INTEREST
IN PAPAL SUCCESSION

This Government is TO some extent in
terested in the selection of a Pope to
succeed Leo XIII. in the event OF his
death. The Governments interest con-
Germs the disposition of the friar lands
In the Philippines and the final settle
ment of that somewhat troublesome
question. Pope Leo XIII is not a mem
Der of any of the friar orders. and hence
has been more favorable in his attitude
toward the United States Government in
this matter than it is presumed he would
have been had he been affiliated with
any of the orders
II is said that officially this Govern
ment would prefer to see Cardinal Ram
polla made Pope rather than any other
member OF the Sacred College. for the
reason that as secretary OF state to the
Vatican he has been in accord with the
Pope's policy of Gisposing of the friar
lands. Satolli is also said to be regarded
with favor, but his chances of becoming
Pope are less than are those Of Ram
polla.
Martinelli is a member of one of the
friar orders. and hence is opposed to
the policy outlined for dealing with the
question Cardinal Gotti, # is also be-
lieyed, would be less favorable coward
this Government than is Pope Leo XIII.

* was but at intervals. and he was often
wakeful and restless. His main COM
panion in these long hours was Pho
Contra. his faithful valet
The devotion Of Pho is remarkable.
Hardly can he be forced from the pre-
late's side. and when he does leave
it is to sleep but for short time. when
he awakes with a start and asks as to
the Po2es condition.
The Pontiff and Pho had several con-
versations in the night on one oc-
casion. when the valet had been par
ticularly attentive, the preIaie stroked
his hand saying:
MY Pho, what should 1 do without
your"
Valet IN Tears.
Contra broke into sobs and replied:
IF we are separated. it will not be for
long. ! shall follow you"
He then rushed from the room with
tears streaming down his cheeks The
scene was most pathetic, and those in
the room at the time were also moved
to tears.
While talking TO Dr. Lapponi last
night his holiness again expressed a
wish for eternal relief. When Lapponi
went To- see his illustrious patient, tho
latter said:
us ii you or I who will die?''
Longing for Rest.
Upon Lapponi's asking why. the Pope
said:
Bocause you never sleep and never
eat. while / do both abundantly. But
am tired, am tired Oh. what must
heavenly rest be2"
DR.. Lapponi today told an interviewer
that the Pope was today no worse than
he was a week ago. and he would not
be surprised II his holiness lasts another
week.

Former Representative Edmund II.
briggs. who is under Indictment in New
York for accepting money while mem
Der Of Congress for services 10 the
Brandt-Dent Company. has. through his
counsel. Hugo Hirsh, filed a demurrer
TO the Indictment When the matter
came up for argument before Judge
Thomas the court said that on account
Of the Importance of the questions in
volved he would allow counsel until Sep
TENDER l 10 file additional briefs.
Mr.. Hirsh argued that the indictments
we're faulty. first. because they failed
TO state sufficient facts to constitute a
crime; second. because the United
States court has no Jurisdiction; third.
because sections 1871 and 1882 OF the
Revised Statutes are unconstitutional.
Mr.. Hirsh declared that none OF the
indictments founded upon the alleged
contracts and the giving Of the alleged
notes give the time or state specifically
the character OF the service rendered.
Congress, he argued, has no right to
restrict any of its members from tie
exercise Of the rights of a common
citizen.
basing his argument on the fact that
the statute Of limitations outlaws such
an onense after three years, Mr.. HIrsh
declared that, as the transaction was
closed in May. 1899. or more than three
years ago. when the fraudulent Com
pany gave a note promising to pay a
certain sum OF money to Mr.. briggs. the
court had no Jurisdiction Judge Thomas
expressed the opinion that the transac-
tion was not complete until the promis-
sorry notes were taken I'd.

FREEDMAN'S HOSPITAL
ADDITION DELAYED
Misunderstanding as to Lots on Which
It Is to Be Built.

The purposed erection OF new build
ings for the addition to Freedman's Hos
pital may be somewhat delayed because
of a misunderstanding regarding the
plat of the lots. Thomas Ryan, Acting
Secretary of the Interior. has requested
the Commissioners to forward to him a
plat of the lands now owned and occu-
pied by the Howard University, which
is the site OF the proposed buildings
Mr.. Ryan says. from the best informa-
ton in possession Of the department, il
appears that the grounds owned by the
university are in an unnumbered block
abutting POmerOy Street on the north,
Sixth Street extended on the west, aud
probably Linden Street on the east
Surveyor LOCKER, OF the District. has
submitted the desired plat. which viii DO
forwarded. He states that the portion
of Sixth Street south of Pomeroy Street
has never had any actual status as a
street the same regarding the fifteen
foot alley TO the west; also that for an
indefinite period the entire tract south
Of Pomeroy Street and north OF the old
baseball Enclosure has been inclosed. and
the recorded map Of Howard University
subdivision has been entirely ineffective
as to this territory.
a deed is on record from Herbert a.
Gil TO the Howard University transfer

Street 10 the western line of the whole
tract. No document can be found chang
ing the status OF the eastern half OF
Sixth Street south OF Pomeroy street
