THEY TALKED OF WAR
ITS POSSIBILITY DISCUSSED BY
 THE RUSSIANS.
Statement Made That the Opposition to Opening Manchurian Ports is Not Bsed on Hostility To-
 ward Foreigners.

Port Arthur, Manchuria, July 1.-The conference of prominent Russians has ended and the last special train departed for Moscow yesterday. Most of the vis- iting officials have gone.
 Exultation over Russia's increasing pow CT in Manchuria was the dominant note in the gathering. The possibility of talk ing any backward steps are scoffed at if mentioned by outsiders. It was ad- mitted that the war possibilities was discussed, but 1t was denied that that was the object of the conference.
 The evidence of the increase of war lik preparations since the arrival of Gem eral Kuropatkin, the Minister of War, and of the intention to bring more troops to Manchuria are abundant. Orders were given to Port Arthur contractors last week for an immediate supply of building materials for barracks to accommodate 10000 soldiers to be shipped to Harbin.
 The officials explained that Russia's op- position to opening Manchurian towns to foreigners was not based upon opposition to foreigners, whose trade is desired and who would in due time be invited into the country. But Russia objected, they explained, to having consuls accredited which are practically under Russian con- trol. which could give the subjects of countries so represented the enjoyment of extra territorial rights. They asserted that such an arrangement would be cer- tain to result in great friction, such as ocurred in New Chwang.

THE LION AND THE B1KER.
Adventure in Which the King oi
 Beasts Gets Qulue a Scare.

Adventure in Which the King of
 Beasts Gets Cute a Scare. Philadelphia Ledger.
 On mellow moonlight evening a cyclist was riding along a lonely road in the northern part of MashonaIand. As he rode. enjoying the sombre beauty of the African evening, he suddenly became con- scious of soft, stealthy, heavy tread on the road behind him. It seemed like the Jog-trot of some heavy crushing footed animal following him. Turning round, he was scared very badly to find himself looking into the glaring eyes of a huge lion. The puzzled animal acted very strangely, now raising his head. now low ering it and all the time shifting the air in a most perplexed maner.
 Here was surprise for the lion. He could not make out what kind of animal it was that could roll, walk and sit still ali at the same time-an animal with a red eye on each side and brighter one in front. He hesitated to bounce upon such an outIandish being-a being whose blood smelled so oily.
 No cyclist since the Romans invented wheels ever "scorched" with more honest and single minedness of purpose. But al- though he pedaled and pedaled, although he perspired and panted, his effort to get awal did not seem to place any more ter ritory between him and the lion, for that animal, like Mark Twains coyote, kept up his annoying, calm trot and never seemed to tire.
 The poor rider was finally so exhausted from terror and exertion that he decided to have the matter over with right away Suddenly slowing down. he jumped from his wheel and, facing abruptly, thrust the brilliant headlight full into the face of the lion.
 This was too much for the beast. It was this fright that broke the lions nerve, for at this fresh evidence of mystery on the part of the strange rider animal, who broke himself into halves and then cast his big eye in any direction he pleased, the monarch of the forest turned tail and, with a wild rush, retreated in a very hyenalike manner into the jungle, evident ly thanking his stars for his miraculous escape from that awful being. Thereup- on the bicyclist. with new strength re- turning and devoutIy blessing his acety- lene lamp, pedaled his way to civiliza- ton.

WOMAN HoNoREn BY THE POPE. |

WOMAN HONOREO Bx THE POFE.
 The New York Evening Telegram says that only three American women have been decorated by Pope Leo. The first American woman to receive this honor was the late Mrs. William Sherman, wife of General sherman. The next was Miss Sswendoline Caldwell, who was invested with the order in 1888. She has since married the Marquis de Mermville. of Paris. but at that time she was greatly interested in America. and contributed largely to the Catholic University at Washington, which institution owes its origin largely to her efforts. With her aunt and sister, she was given special au- dience and blessed by the Pope for her charity. The last who was so honored Is Miss Annie Leary of New York, who was given the title of countess last year be- cause of her philanthropic efforts in be- Leary was invested by Archbishop Corri- gan in May, 1902. Only women of royalty receive the Golden Rose, which, 1t has ceen said. these three Americans have.
 To receive the Golden Rose Is a great honor Once year at the utmost, on Lectare Sunday, which is the fourth Sum- day in Lent a Golden Rose Is blessed by the Pope to be afterward sent off as a mark of approval to Catholic members of royal or noble families, either male or female; to great generals, to noted churches and sanctuaries, to illustrious Catholic cities or republics. When no one is considered worthy of the honor, it is laid away in the vatican and brought out again next year.
