THE POPE'S JUBILEE.
Leo Kill Celebrates the Twenty.
Fifth Year Of His Pontiflcats.
PRESENTS GIVEN TO HIS HOLINESS.
The Pontiff Completed the Functions Of
the Jubilee without Uadue Fatigue and
Then Said, .This Ia Really the Hap
pisst Day Of NY Life"


Rome, Feb. 21.-The hall of beati-
fication, above the portico of St. Pc
ter's, where the pontiff held his jubi-
lee reception Of the quarter-centen-
nial Of his pontifcate, presented
brilliant scene. The struggle to get
into the hall was terrific. People
were swept off their feet and wom-
en- were overcome. but no one was
really injured. There was long and
tedious wait before the ceremony
commenced and the audience was
growing restless when suddenly a
great roar Of Long Live Leo" and
Long Live the Pope-King" an
nounced the arrival Of the pontiff.
The pope was accompanied by Cardi-
mails Mocenni. Perraud, Ferrari, Sa-
TOLL, Respighi, Boschi and Macchi
and escorted by the noble guards in
their red state uniforms which they
had not worn since the fall of the
temporal power. When the pontiff
assembled the throne he seemed to be
in kind of glorified atmosphere, at
tanned by a peculiar arrangement Of
red draperies before the windows.
Cardinal Respighi, vicar of Rome,
read an affectionate Latin address
expressing loyalty and devotion and
offered the gold tiara, the jubilee
present Of the Catholic world, which
cost $4,000 and $4,000 in money.
Cardinal Ferrari archbishop Of
Milan), in behalf of a pilgrimage
from Lombardy, presented an ad-
dress of felicitation to the pope and
gold, silver and bronze commemora-
tive medals, ON the observe Of which
was the head Of Leo XIII. and ON the
reverse the figure of the Redeemer.
surrounded by the apostles in the act
Of comforting on st. Peter the SUI
preme pontifcal power. The pope
thanked the Lombardy pilgrims and
gave them his benediction.
Cardinal Boschi read o third ad-
dress and presented to his holiness
the symbolic keys, one Of gold and
the other of silver, accompanied by
an Offering of $4,000 in gold coins.
The Roman committee for the jubi-
lee fetes presented rich parchment
volume with the signatures OF all
who had contributed to the offering,
with another $4,000 to be devoted to
the restoration of the Basilica Of St.
John Lateran, which is under the
care of Cardinal Satolli. Other com
mittees followed with addresses and
offerings.
In his address his holiness ex-
pressed satisfaction at the manifesto
ton of which he is the object on the
part Of the whole Catholic world.
For the second time in a century,
continued Pope Leo, Christ has
wished to glorify his vicar on earth
by allowing him to reach the years
Of st. Peter. The address ended by
saying that the pontiff was happy to
celebrate his jubilee amidst the hom-
age and veneration Of the Catholic
universe.
After bestowing the apostolic bless
ing the pope returned to his apart
ments amid the enthusiastic plaudits
of the multitude. He completed the
functions of the jubilee without I'M
due fatigue. On returning TO his
apartments he exclaimed: "This Is
really the happiest day Of my life."

FOREIGN PASSPORTS.
Who Issues Them-How to Obtain
Them.

Them.
Ottumwa has a number of people
who make frequent trips abroad. The
method OF securing passport to visit
foreign lands is we'll known to them.
To others, however, who are not SO
well conditioned that they can afford
trip abroad, it will be matter of in
terest to learn just how this valuable
little document is secured and of what
! value it is when secured. A Washing
ton correspondent writes as follows:
Zone can absolutely make no head
way beyond the seas unless armed by
one of these governmental permits.
mo one but the secretary Of state
may issue Cor grant, passports in the
United States, and the law forbids the
issuance of passports to any person
who is not citizen of the United
States. A declaration of intention to
become a citizen will not secure the
favor. An affidavit to this fact must
be made before properly qualified Of
ficer, and if the APPLICANT signs his mark
two attesting witnesses to his sigma
ture are required. In addition to his
name the applicant must give the date
and place of his birth, occupation, the
place of his permanent residence, de-
claring that he goes abroad for tenn
porary sojourn only, and intends to re-
| turn to this country as place of resi-
| dence, taking an oath of allegiance to
the government of the United States.
The application should comprehend a
full description Of the person, as fol-
lows: Age, stature, height, forehead,
eyes, nose, mouth, chin, hair complex
ion, face, and this application must be
accompanied by certificate from a
credible witness that the applicant is
the person he represents himself to be,
and that the facts stated are true.
When the applicant is accompanied
by his wife, minor children or servant
who would be entitled to receive a
passport, it will be sufficient to state
the fact giving the ages of the chill
ldren and the allegiance of the servant,
when one passport will suffice for all.
A womans application should state
If she is unmarried, that she has never
been married; if she is the wife of a
naturaliZed or a native citizen of the
United States, the fact should be set
forth in her application, and if the wife
or widow of a naturalized citizen she
must state the facts of his emigration,
naturalization, etc. A passport ex-
pires two years from the date OF it's is
suance, and can be renewed only by a
new application. The fee Of one dollar
is charged for every passport and the
money must accompany the applica-
ton. Drafts or checks will not be ac-
copied. No professional titles will be
inserted on passports. Every man is a
plain Mr. Application should be made
to Passport Bureau, Department OF

ion at this time as to whether rail-
roads may lawfully transport supplies
for each other at reduced rates.
Z. The commission has held that
the storage is part of the service of
transportation which the carrier per-
forms, and that the charges for that
service should be published in the
tariffs. The rendering of this service
without such publication, or the rem
dering of it to one shipper and not to
another, would seem to be in plain
violation of the Elkins law.
Division of Rates.
8. Generally speaking, the divisions
of a reasonable rate between connect
ing carriers is a matter of Indifference
to the public. If, however, an allow
ance is made to a private road for only
normal service it would be "con-
cession or discrimination" The ques-
ton would seem to be in each case
whether the arrangement was reason
liable and free from discriminating de.
sign or effect.
9. The first section of the Elkins
bill appears to refer exclusively to the
transportation of property. The third
section, investing the Circuit courts
with additional jurisdiction, covers
both property and passengers.
You will understand that the fore
going arc in the nature of first i'm
pressions, and that the commission
would not feel precluded by anything
herein said from modifying the views
above expressed in deciding an actual
controversy after hearing both sides.
The commission appreciates the
difficulty of applying the hard and fast
rules of a statute to unlike and chang
ling conditions, and is not infrequently
Embarrassed by the want of discre.
ltionary authority. We believe that
these recent amendments, will prove
highly efficient in their operation, be.
cause we are confident that the law
| in it's present form will be supported
by prevailing railroad sentiment, and
that in the efforts to enforce it the
commission will have the cooperation
of railway managers generally.

WILL NOT CHANGE PLANS.
President viii Not Include Burlington
in His Western Tour.

A letter from the Presidents secre-
vary, VIM. Loeb, Jr., gives the infor-
nation that the route of the Presi-
dents western itinerary will not be
changed to include Burlington. After
an opening meeting in Ottumwa the
President will go to Keokull over the
Rock Island Burlington people made
an effort to have the President change
his plans SO as to include meeting at
Burlington previous to going to Keo-
kuk. The letter is addressed to Mr..
James A. Guest, President of the Com
mercial Exchange, Burlington, and is
as follows:
white House, Washington, d. c.,
March 81. 1903.
"My Dear Sir:-Your letter of the
18th inst has been received and the
invitation extended is very much ap-
preciated, but regret to state that the
necessity of fulfilling engagements at
other places renders it impossible to
so change the itinerary of the Presi-
dents trip as to include Burlington.
He hopes, however, to visit your city
at some future time. Very truly yours,
"Wm. Loeb, Jr,
Secretary to the President.
"Mr. James A. Guest, President
Commercial Exchange, Burlington"
Additional information.
The following additional information
has been received from a Washington
dispatch:
Great pressure has been brought to
bear from senators, congressman and
state officials the past week, to induce
the President to change his itinerary
SO as to include other towns in the
schedule, but no changes are being
made. The itinerary has been made
up and placed in the hands of the rail
roads and they are now working out
the details. The railroads very much
dislike to make changes in schedule
unless it is absolutely necessary, as
one change throws out of joint many
other arrangements and is like an end
| less chain in the manner in which it
affects ali plans.
| According to the present plans Sec
rotary Wilson will accompany the
President April % and 20, on the run
| from Omaha through the southern part
of the state to Des Moines and on to
Keokuk. Secretary Shaw will accom-
pany the President a month later when
the run is made from Omaha to Du-
buque, via Denison. Fort Dodge and
Cedar Falls and Dubuque. Secretary
Hitchcock will be with the. President in
st. Louis, and Secretary Root con-
siderable portion of the journey;
throughout the trip in fact, if Secre.
tary Root can arrange his affairs so as
to permit, he will certainly accompany
the President to Des Moines, and will
likely have some remarks to make in
connection with the new army post
now in course of construction.
