Japan Into Opening HOstilities.
Japanese Think War Probable.
Pekin, July 19.-According to diplo-
mats here, the greatest factor in the
Eastern situation is the increasing
danger of war between Russia and
Japan. They believe it is becoming
plain that Russia is willing to fight
Japan if convinced that no other Pow
ers will assist Japan.
The Russians are confident of their
ability to easily defeat Japan, and are
said to be anxious to settle definitely
her position in Eastern politics and
her ambitions to oppose Russia's pro-
gress in Manchuria.
The belief is attributed to the Japan
csc that the Russian policy is to at
tempt to placate Great Britain and
America and provoke Japan into be-
ginning hostilities. They regard Rus
sia's consent to opening ports in
Manchuria, the Cars promised visit to
England and the occupation of the
Corean border as parts of that pol
lev.
Russia's activity on the Yalu river is
more irritating to Japan than the re-
.tention of Manchuria. and all Japan

IN STATE OF COMA
POPE SPENDS WHAT ARE CON-
SIDERED HIS LAST HOURS.
DOCTORS OFFER NO HOPE.
ONE NAMES T'WENTY-FOUR HOURS
AS LIMIT OF LIFE.

Mentality of the Venerable POntiff,
as Well as His PHYSICAL Forces,
Yields to the Ravages of Time
md Disease-One of the Ablest
Brains in the World Is Losing Its
POwers-OnIy With Effort Can the
Pope BE Reused to Observe What
PASSES in His Chamber.
Rome, July 10, midnight.-The Pope
lies tonight in a state of coma and
there are grave doubts in the minds
of his doctors whether he will ever
completely emerge. His immediate dis
solution seems to be only averted by
the reliability of the action of his
heart. His pulse, though weak. con-
tinues steady. Shortly before midnight
DR.. Lapponi said to the correspondent
of the Associated Press:
The Pope at the present moment is
in a state of coma, which may be call
ed a condition preceding the last
agony. the duration of which it is i'm
possible to forecast, although every
thing leads to the belief that this con-
dition cannot last To be more exact,
he is in a state of torpor and stupor,
from which, however, he rouses occa-
sionally when he hears sharp sounds,
as, for instance, the insistent voice of
one of his familiars calling loudly to
him. Left alone he relapses Immediate
ly into a condition of torpor.
"At intervals he murmurs in his
sleep, continuing to have forebodings
that he is being abandoned by his
valet, Contra, and myself. These are
the symptoms of incipient cerebral
anemia and general exhaustion. He can
no longer turn in his bed without as
sistance, and is being kept alive by
artificial stimulants During the last
twenty-three hours he has had two in
jections of camphorated oil. three of
caffeine, and two hypodernics of salt
water, besides drinking stimulants.'
Awaiting the Last summons.
Monsignor Bislotti, master of the
Popes chamber, said earlier in the
evening that the pulse of his holiness
had not yet shown any signs of be-
coming intermittent, so, despite his
extreme weakness and coma, he be-
lieved the Pope would survive the
night, and possibly tomorrow.
Both the Italian government and the
authorities of the Vatican have made
final preparations for the Pope's death.
The government is rigidly censoring
all kilograms and telephone commun-
ication between Italy and the rest of
the continent.
At this hour few people remain at
the Vatican. DR.. Mazzoni and DR..
Rossoni and the cardinals have gone
to their homes to await the last urg-
ent summons.

Each Hour He Was Worse.

Rome, July 19.-To-day each hour
has added to the gravity of the reports
from the sick room of the Pontiff, un-
til all Rome has waited, almost breath
lessly, in momentary expectation Of the
announcement of his death.
Since the state of depression which
seized upon the Pope during the latter
part of the night his condition has
gone steadily downward and through
out the day the most intense anxiety
has prevailed. For the first time also
the weather was strongly against him.
A blistering heat fell upon the city.
and the great piazza of St Peters
took up the fierce sun and threw 1t
back against the Vatican until it was
like a fiery furnace. Even the slight
breeze which prevailed came in hot
waves from the South.
This seriously added to the discom-
fort of the patient. He had spent a
restless night sleeping only for short
intervals, and even then his sleep was
agitated. DR.. Lapponi remained in the
sick room throughout the night At
the morning conference the physicians
noted a distinct change for the worse.
particularly in the accelerated pulse,
which had risen to SO. after remaining
for many days between IS and go
Lost His Vitality.
The distinguished patient appeared to
have lost all of that vitality which he
had hitherto so remarkably maintained.
He appealed piteously to those about
him. asking not to be left alone. AL
though his mental vigor was nearly
exhausted, he again asked that mass
be celebrated This was performed In
the room adjoining that in which the
Pontiff lay. He followed the ceremony
and took communion with extreme diff
ficultY.
Almost Immediately afterwards he
sank into a state of complete exhaus-
ton. At first this took on the char
acter of an unnatural sleep, and he
lay as one inanimate, with his eyes
closed. But occasionally he started up
and cried out as though in fear. Grad
ually, however. his sleep became heav-
ier, and assumed condition of semi
consciousness or torpor.
Doctors Constantly With Him.
After noon there was hardly any re-
vival from this continued state of tor
nor. and the doctors remained contin-
uously in attendance. The night bull
letin announced for the first time that
the patient had been in a state of
coma, which the doctors said had been
almost uninterrupted during the day.
How long this condition will continue
they did not venture to say.
AS Dr. Lapponi came from the sick
room at 6 o'clock this evening for
breath of fresh air, he summed up the
steady decline in the patients condi-
ton by saying:
"The Pope'sA condition tonight is
worse than this morning or last night.
and while the end may come at any
moment, vet an imminent catastrophe
Is hardly anticipated. as the state Of
coma may be prolonged many hours"
Meantime, the critical condition of
the Pontiff had caused intense excite
ment throughout the city. When the

Paris, July 20.-The correspondent of
the Eclair at Rome has had long
conversation with Marquis Sacchetti,
grand marshal of the papal court, who
repeated to him the following declara-
ton made by Cardinal Oreglia, who
will take over the administration of
pontifical affairs during the interreg-
mum to the officials of the Vatican:
Il shall, alas, be the only living au-
thority, and | count on the devotion of
the clergy and the military, and shall
expect it to be absolutely blind. For
the soldiers there is a prison, and
shall use it, Arrangements have been
made with the Italian police, and l
know the garrison of Rome will do it's
duty outside; let us do ours inside
Il intend to revive the proper tradi-
tons, taking as a model the former
conclaves. Not that the death of Pope
Leo XIII will be announced from the
loggia of st. Peters to the people Of
the world, nor will it be made known
in a hole in-the-corner fashion inside.
The funeral will be celebrated in ac-
cordance with authentic bulls. l in
tend, under the guard of the pontifical
army, to revive the lying in state of
the body in the Sistine Chapel, which
junction was suppressed on the last
occasion.
Every morning orders will be given
by me alone, and / shall punish the
slightest assumption of authority out
side the execution of my orders.
"Accustom yourselves, gentlemen.
not to consider me as an old priest,
but as your head, calm and absolute
above all and without other control
than that Of my conscience"

Manila, July 19.-Gen. Leonard Wood

eminent of the Moro province
The government will tomorrow COM

able difficulty in adjusting it to the
conditions here is anticipated.
1t is expected that the circulation OF
the new currency will be limited be-
cause the Mexican coins will continue
to be legal tender until December
The merchants use Mexican coins be-
cause they are cheaper, and their pur-
chasing power is equal to the new
coins. 1t is believed that the entire
years crops will be paid for in Mexican
money. A shortage of Mexican coins
is threatened, the coins to the value
of $10,000.000 having been exported to
Singapore and Hong Kong since Jan
uary.
The battalion of scouts going to the
st. Louis exposition is now assembling
at Manila. 1t includes Ilocanos Maca-
bebes, Tagalogs and Visayans. Maj.

Shareholders Are Asked to Pass
Upon Those Proposed.
Liverpool. July 19.-The directors of
the Cunard Steamship Company have
called a special meeting of sharehold-
ers for July 20 to consider a change
in the articles of association, with a
view to preventing foreigners from be-
coming directors or personal officers of
the company.
Other provisions will insure that the
company remain exclusively British
and also increase the capital by the
creation of new share worth 500,
called the government share" which
will be issued only to nominee of the
government
The proposals include a stringent
provision to prevent foreigners hold
ing shares in the company directly or
in trust, and a declaration of nation
atty will be exacted in all share
transfers. Another proposal gives the
directors absolute power to enter into
any agreement with the government
for the carrying of mail, building of
vessels, or the placing of vessels at
the disposal of the government.

MOTHER FOUND HER BOY
HANGING IN A SHED.
Affecting story of Suicide Comes
from Gainesville.


Gainesville, Ca, July 19.-This COM
munity was shocked to-day when it
was announced that Richard Wallace,
a young man of the city, had commit
ted suicide
After supper last night the family
retired as usual. the young man being
in his natural frame of mind. to all
appearances. About 2 o'clock this morn
ing Mrs. Wallace heard a noise in her
sons room. as if he had simply turned
over in his bed. At the time she at
tached no significance to the matter,
but about o'clock she felt uneasy
and went to the young mans room to
find it empty.
A search was then begun and last
ed for an hour or more. when some
of the neighbors were called and asked
to assist in the search. Shortly after
this Mrs. Wallace went in to the wood
shed, and on looking through a hole
in the ceiling saw the body of her son
suspended in the air, his feet touch
ing the floor, with a rope tied tightly
around his neck. The frightened wom-
an called to Mr.. Jack DENLY, who ran
up ladder into the loft and found the
young man strangled to death. Mr.
DENLY Immediately took the rope from
around the neck of the young man,
but 1t was too late, for he was a
corpse.
Mrs. Wallace was overcome with
grief and could barely hold up under
the terrible shock, which was made all
the more horrible by her being the
first to find her boy. Medical aid was
summoned. but nothing could be done.
Dick Wallace was a splendid young
fellow, beloved by all who knew him.
He was about % years of age, born
and reared in this city, being the eld-
est son of the late DIR. w. c. Wallace
who for years conducted a drug store
here.
AS a strong evidence that the young
man was for the time dispossessed of
his reason, 1t now develops that on
last Tuesday he jumped from the Sec
ond story of the porch in front of his
home to the side walk sustaining some
slight injuries.
The funeral services took place this
afternoon from the home.
