POPE LEO LAID TO REST.

Rome, July %. - The remains of
Pope Leo XIII. were Saturday evening
inferred temporarily in ST. Peters.
The ceremony of interment was begun
at 7 o'clock, the cardinals and pre-
lates conducting the services. Only
700 invitations were issued.
First came the monks of st. Peters,
who entered the chapel where the re-
mains have been lying in state, chant.

The cardinals were already assem-.

as they entered. The coffin in which
the body had been lying was raised
on the shoulders of the monks and
the procession started.
The procession advanced, winding
through the church, and passing be.
tore the tomb, finally ending at the
choir chapel. Here the chants
changed to 'In Paradisium," and a
few drops Of holy water were
sprinkled on the remains and the last
dissolution pronounced.
In the coffin were placed the ponti.
fcal ornaments and all the medals of
the pontiffs reign and also at the feet
a scroll telling of the principal events
OF the pontificate. The face and hands
were recently covered with a veil.

OPEN DOOR IDEA GOES.
States Wins Over Russia and
China

Washington, July 29.-All doubt as
to the speedy conclusion of the treaty
with China, providing for the opening
OF ports in Manchuria to foreign trade
has been removed by positive informa-
ton received here. 1t recently was re-
ported from Pekin that Prince Ching,
the head of the Chinese foreign Office,
had said that he could not conclude
the treaty for the reason that the Rus
sian government continued to object
to any arrangement for the open
door in Manchuria. This statement
attracted considerable attention and
it was credited in some quarters, but
it is proper to say that the United
States did not believe it, feeling conf
dent that Russia had acted in good
faith in furnishing assurance that she
would interpose NJ objection to the
port opening program of this govern
ment. An arrangement has been
reached with China by which The
commercial treaty between the United
States and that country will contain a
provision for the opening of two ports
in Manchuria. The treaty will Do

The ceremonial of the conclave es.

cardinals decided during the conclave
to eat in common in order to facili-

the response of Cardinal Svampa to a
question as to whether he believed the
conclave would be of lengthy duration,
as follows:
