Who would have believed it, when
only ten days ago was presiding over
a public, consistory?", murmured feebly
Pope Leo as he felt himself late Sun
day evening sinking into deep sleep,
which lasted about three hours until
excruciating pain brought the, dying
pontiff back to consciousness He
groaned and complained of pains on
both sides of the thoraX. Tenderly
DR.. Lapponni assisted by Pope Leo's
valet, Pho Centra, and the physicians
second assistant, lifted his form and,
changing the position, succeeded in
giving the patient some relief, nv
Though lowering on the brink of
death, the life of the pontiff is pro-
longed by means of strong stimulants
and concentrated nourishment and
while he is still alive his wonderful
vitality may again resist and conquer
the attack of this Illness
Late Sunday evening, after the ex-
citement of the ceremony of the last
sacrament was oves the pope seemed
less restless, partly soothed by the
religious service and partly by dose
of choral, which was given to him in
considerable quantity.----

up carriages of the cardinals and
many notables. Servants and messen-

huge bundles of wax-tapers, and with
the robes OF ecclesiastical dignitaries
awaiting within the palace. The ante

through the night thronged with

All kinds, of speculation is already in
circulation as to the probable sue
cessor to the throne OF st. Peters.
Opinion is much divided, owing to the
many interests which will be affected
according to the choice made by the
sacred college. The first question the
cardinals will have to solve is whether
the conclave will be held in Rome or
outside of Italy. ------

A BIG POSTAL DEFICIENCY.
Deficit for Past Year Double that of
Previous Year.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Captain
Castle, auditor of the treasury for the
postoffice department, -made-the Off
cial estimate that the postal deficiency
for the fiscal year just closed will be
$4,617,203. The deficit for the preYi-
Gus fiscal year was s2,961,17O. This
big increase is attributed to the en-.
forced increase in. expenditure, for ru-
raj free. delivery service during the
past year. ,.ra-.rrr.,5'1 at
The receipts of the postal service
for the year were $134,26S, 500 and the
expenditures s1SS, ,SS5,S12.. The def
cheney in the free delivery service is
not yet definitely known beyond the
estimate made weeks ago by the1post-
master general that it would be l$227,-
600 by the close of the fiscal year.
The deficiency, however, may prove
considerably larger than that figure.

regulating. regarding the Chinese Wis
itOrs to the ST. Louis exposition are
bitterly criticised in the native press,
and it is believed will demoralize Chi
mas efforts to take creditable part in
the exposition. The most objection
able points in the eyes of the natives
are the $500 bond, the Photographic
Identification, police supervision Of the
visiting Chinese, and the expulsion
from America of the Chinese work
men and assistants when the fair
closes. The press points out that the
Chinese visitors will be no better than
prisoners throughout their stay. The
official newspaper of Chi Ii province,
whose utterances are understood to be
directed by Yuan Shi Ki, the governor
OF the province, taunts America with
hypocritical pretense of friendly inter
course, and says the politeness with
which what is called the most just
nation On earth treats it's guests is
warning to Chinese and others con.
templating visiting st. Louis.

/ HANNA, wyo.-Two hundred and
,thirty-four dead and several others
Slightly injured out of 2S0 is the rec
ord Of the most fearful disaster which
ever struck the mining camps around
here.
Shortly after 10:30 Tuesday morn
| ing miner entered a closed shaft
leading into the No. l mine of the
Union Pacific Coal with a
| naked light. Through years of idle.
| ness gas had been allowed to escape
and accumulate till it needed but a
spark to set it alight and wreck the
pit. This was supplied by the min
er. Instantly there was roar as If
of eehoing thunder. Mine timbers,
rock and iron were torn down and
hurled athwart, the entrances, COM
pletely blocking tue. escape of almost
800 men employed below ground. The
sound of the report echoed and re-
echoed below and above the surface
and brought men hurrying from every
direction, fearing they knew not
what, but knowing something unto
ward had happened. Gradually sur
vivors began to appear, forty-six OF
them, ragged, disheveled men,, with
gaping wounds and clothes torn by the
explosion. From these the first sto-
ries of the disaster and the closed
condition of the various underground
tunnels were learned.
Almost before they appeared how
ever, rescuers had volunteered for the
task of carrying succor to their strlck-
en- comrades below ground, and head
ed by e. S. Brooks, superintendent of
Fthe mine, hundred willing hands
were speedily at work clearing away
the debris and opening up an avenue
OF escape for. the imprisoned men and
q shaft whereby pure air might be
conveyed to them 3rg;- aa..-.
For, time it was feared the ex-
plosion had bred worse disaster and
fumors of fire sweeping the workings
were banded about among the, crowd
of watchers and workers which head
ed the pit mouth. Fortunately. how
ever, these rumors proved of false or
igin, and the entombed men, sur
rounded with sufficient horrors with
out, were spared a holocaust.
