Newly Appointed Secretary Of consis-

Rome, July 11.-Mgr. Volpini, who
was stricken with syncope- Wednes-
day, died early yesterday morning,
shortly after the doctors in attendance
had announced that all hope of saving
his life had been abandoned Although
the condition of the pope is still the
center of interest, the case of Mgr.
Volpini has attracted much attention,
not only because of his office of secre-
tary of the consistorial congregation,
to which he had just been appointed
by Pope Leo, but also on account of
the manner in which he was seized
by his fatal illness, and it is hardly
possible to describe the sensation and
emotion which prevailed at the Vati-
can when his death was announced.

THE ELECTRIC CHAIN AROUND
THE GLOBE.

The electric cable from San
Francisco via Hawaii to the Phil
ippine Islands was opened on
July 4. Its completion was a
surprise to everybody, because
if the government had directly
undertaken the. enterprise most
people believe it swould have re.
quired two years. But individ-
ual energy and private capital
have surmounted all the diff
culties,' in six months, and now
the United States is in hourly
communication with its possess
ions in Asia.
The distance is understoon to
be 1918 miles, and it was esti-
mated if the United States di-
rectly undertook the work it
would have required an expendi-
ture of S8,OO0,O00. The United
States does not pay a cent di-
rectly, but engages to pay GER
tain tolls to the Clarence Mackay
Company The owners of the
cable are satisfied, because it as
sures Mackay & Co. a fixed in
come from the United. States; and
our country is peculiarly salts
fed, because it vastly reduces
the cost of sending kilograms to
Asia via the English system. In
truth, it appears to be a bargain
with which everybody is pleased.
The first communication from
Gov. Taft of the Philippine Is
lands was quite lengthy, and, like
a good governor, he did not delay
to impress upon the people of the
United States a much more lib
eral tariff policy toward the pro;
ducts Of the Philippine Islands.
It was shown upon the opening
of the telegraph to Manila that a
message around the globe can be
forwarded in from 81 to II min.
utes. The distance is $4,000
miles, and, we may add, of all
modern wonders this rapidity in
encircling the globe is the most
wonderful. Man has so chained
electricity that what is now done
by human hands is as visible and
as striking as flash from the
Almighty.
