IS DENIED BY CASSINI|
SAYS MANCHURIAN PORT CUES
 TON IS OPEN.
Declares That He Had Entered Into No Compact With Secretary Hay Looking to Settlement of
 the Question.

Paris, July 2o.-A representative of the As- sociated Press has had an interview with Count Cassini the Russian Ambassador to the United States. who is here with his daughter spend- ing part of his leave of absence in Paris where he has an apartment near the Champs Elysee He said:
 Tt is not correct, as cabled, that I ar- ranged with Secretary Hay before my depar- tture the question of open ports in Manchuria. It is true that Mir. Hay called on me June 23 but it was friendly visit and entirely unoffi- cial. The Manuchuria ports were mentioned during our conversation, but no definite ar- engagement was completed. The conversation was quite cordial. courteous and friendly, but 1t did not go beyond that. I expect. however that mutually satisfactory understanding re- garding Manchuria questions will eventually be reached between the two Governments. But repeat no such arrangement has been made by me. What has been done by the charge d'affairs since my departure fourteen days ago don't know.
 Regarding the Israelite petition. the United States Government knew that 1t would not be received No such petition would be received by any independent State. The United States. first of all. would not consent to any foreign interference in its domestic affairs. Beyond this, don't know anything about the matter. My relations with the United States Govern ment have always been pleasant and cordial during my long stay at Washington. My present absence from my post Is due to the fact that am taking a much-needed holiday I did not see the President before my depar- ture, he was absent from Washington. I saw Mir Hay, stated, but our interview was not official. but 1t was extremely pleasant
 T expect to return to my post as soon as my leave expires. which will be in three months"
 Count Cassini will remain here ten days longer and then will go to St. Petersburg.

Tribute From Glennor

St. Louis. July 2o.-Bishop John J. Glennor said of the late Pope:
 "He was 8 man who was foremost in all the events of the world. His decision was felt alike in every country of Flu rope and of America. No man had as much influence for good in the past two decades as he had. His province was not politics or diplomacy, but his hand was visible in most of the prominent events, and 1t was always for the good.
 There has not been a character in our day. nor fin any day in the history of the church a pontiff who has had so much to contend with as Leo XIII. and who has done the work so we'll"

No. Excitement in Berlin.

Berlin, July 2O.-The news of the death of the Pope caused no excitement here, hav;tlg been hourly expected for some time. Emperor William, during his trip to Norway, had been getting frequent bulletins about the pontiff's condition. Officials who are familiar with his majestys views say he entertained reverential respect for Pope Leo XIII While no Pope could possibly have been more acceptable to Germany than the de- ceased pontiff, government circles expect no changes in the relations with the vati- can. Germany has no candidate for the holy chair and will not even indicate a preference. Bismarck regarded Pope Leo's election as justfying Germany's complete non-interference and the officials say there is less occasion now than there was then for trying to influence con- claVes.

to Leo XIII. Speculations and prophecies come from every direction in favor or the various candidates. The comparativeiy long illness of Leo has had the effect Of narrowing the chances of some who ent- cred the contest with what was thought to be the brightest prospects, whiie IL mas brought forward the prominence or others who at first were hardly considered. The result is that they are all now on about the same level It Is said that there has never been conclave In which there are many candidates who have fair chance of winning.
 Such a situation might lead to strug- gle of much longer duration than that Of 1878. when Leo was elected. That con clave lasted scarcely three days. The contest would be prolonged especially. IT, after the early ballots the different par ties whose exact strength could only then be established, persist in remaining faith full to their favorite instead of joining forces with those of candidates having better chances. In 1878 when Plus TX. died, it was evident to all that the Cardi- nals, who had the best chances of suc- cess, were Pilio and Pecci. The former would certainly have been elected 1T ne had not made in the conclave a written statement, declaring that he would not accept the tiara. as, having compiled the
 
 which would have been detrimental to the church. Therefore, the nomination or Cardinal Pecci followed without obstacle
 Now there are half dozen at least who are entering the conclave with equal chances of success. It is believed that the foreign cardinals will ultimately give the casting votes, as, living far away from Rome, where different factions form and flourish, they will be more impartial, especially as 1t is admitted by all that the new Pope will be chosen from among the Italian candidates. For this latter reason there cannot be national rivalry among the foreigners.
 From a most trustworthy source the As sociated Press representative learns that the considerable talk which Is going the rounds to the effect that certain foreign powers might exercise the right of veto In the conclave is unfounded. What the powers desire is not that the new Pope should be friendly to any particular power, but that he should conduct the affairs of the papacy in peaceful equita- ble, religious manner, without stirring up international strife. Indeed, 1t is supposed that the rumor that Austria might att against Cardinal Rampolla, which was started by friends of the latter, In order to have him appear as a persecuted martyr.
 The most prominent candidates for the succession are Cardinals Gotti, Oreglia, Agliardi, Serafino Vannutelli, Capecelatro, Sarto Rampolla. Dipietro. Svampa, Fer rari, Satolli and Richelmi.

SOME SOLDIERS TOO YOUNG.
Great Precautions Taken In War De.
partment to Keep Minors Out
Of the Army.

The war department is determined
that the recruiting officers shall re-
ject all applications for enlistment
from minors. Instructions given tc
that end several months ago, however
have been found not to serve the pur.
pose desired. There are still numerous
enlistments of young men who prove
to be under 21 years of age, though
said to be older, leading to applications
to the war department from parents
and friends for their discharge on the
ground Of minority. says a Washington
report.
1t is therefore desired that every pos
eible precaution be taken to avoid the
improper enlistment of persons under
the age of 21 years. To this end young
men who meet other requirements and
say they are fully 21, or even few
years over that age, should not only be
carefully interrogated and their ante
cedents be carefully investigated, but

Memorial Day, reverenced by all
veterans of the great struggle of
'61-'65, will be observed throughout
the northern states tomorrow. Today
thousands of school children are re-
citing appropriate selections, singing
patriotic songs and hearing the stories
Of the brave deeds of those who bled
and died that this nation might live.
It is altogether fitting that they
should do this. No nation in the
world holds such proud position as
the United States and this is largely
due to the efforts of those whose
graves will be decorated tomorrow.
Memorial Day, of late years, has come
to be looked upon as more of an ocoa-
sion for sports and amusements. There
is no harm done, but the meaning of
the day should not be forgotten. let
all who can, display the colors and
assist the Grand Army Veterans in
their noble mission. May 80 is holi-
day, but it is first of all Memorial
Day.
