NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.
Pope Leo Eats And sleeps And Retains
Strength OF Intellect.

Rome. July 10, The usual gathering
of watchers, mostly journalists, wit
messed from tine piazza of ST. Peters
the opening of the windows of the
papal departments on Saturday morn
ing. From what leaked out from the
sick room it appeared that no signitf-
cant change had taken place in the
condition Of the patient. DR.. Lapponi
succeeded in having Pope Leo take Il
sufficient quantity of nourislment
during the night.
Another operation, performed FRI
day, brought further relief to Pope
Leo and by it the possibility of his life
being prolonged was increased, but it
could hardly be said that the operation
improved his chances of recovery
As IN immediate result of the opera
tion the pope spent quiet and almost
painless day, with, for his age, II nor
nal temperature, and he only more
,trilsingly exhibited his strength of
constitution and intellect.
Shortly before midnight the condi-
ton OF the pontlff was reported to
have undergone no change, and it was
added that he had just dropped peace
fully into sleep.
The pope slept until nearly o'clock
when he awolie, seemingly more re-
frcshcd, and asked for food

"There are many misconceptions OF
the relations between capital and III
Dor. Some men who own mines think
they own the men too, and some men
who work in mines think they own the
mines. Both are wrong. The opera
tor and mine owner have rights that
must be respected"
Mr. Mitchell declared against Social
ism. saying the only movement which
would benefit the wagc-worlser was
the trades union movement and not a
Utopian dream.

noon was the greatest ever held in the

months, some of it since carly in Jan
uary, and which will apparently be IN
the same shape for many months
longer.
The reason given for all the numer-
Gus delays is the protection OF the
Indian. There are undoubtedly some
of the Indians who are IMMERSED in
business methods, and who need much
assistance as is provided for them But
there are very many who are as capa-
BILE business men as ARE to be found
among their white neighbors in the
territory, and they are anxious to have
things started off, but the paternal
care of the government will not allow
them any more freedom than is given
to their untutored fellow-tribesmen.

CONDITIONS NOT ALL BAD.
Tams Bixby Believes There Has Been
No Absolute Corruption.

Ardmorc, 1. T., July 9, -Tams Bixby,
the head of the Dawes commission
among the five tribes in the Indian
territory-the Creeks, Choctaws, Chick
recently regarding the charges of cor
ruption among officials and others who
deal with the Indians of the five tribes:
"The general conditions are not at
all bad. In fact | believe there is alb
solutely no corruption among the otii-
Gals who deal with the tribes, and my
belief is that things are in excellent
shape. However, the public should be
made acquainted with the reason and
the source of these numerous and half
hearted charges and innucndocs of u
wrong-doing.
81 do not think there is any part OF
the world today that contains as many
rrafters and their allied workers as
are to be found in Indian Territory
OF course, they constitute class apart
from the conservative and honorable
citizens of the towns and farms.
, These grafters are after the land of the
Indians, and they pursue many meth-
DDS to secure it. 1t is because they are
hindered or prevented in their plans
that they become angered, and as a re-
suit they try to strike back by limiting
at corruption. They are the ones who
circulate the reports, but you will OBJ
serve the charges are never direct"
