WHEN Plus TX DIED.
No Official Cognizance Of It Taken by
This Goverument.

NV S4A4SAe4 SVk A4Ac1AS0 VI IL AdACA ny
This Government.
The question has arisen whether in the
event of the death Of the pope the State
Department will take any action or recog-
nize the event in any way. 1t is regarded
as settled that in no way will the govern
ment take cognizanoe- of the passing Of
Pope Leo XIII.
When Pope Plus TX died in February.
1878. there were no cahlegrams exchanged
between the United States legation at
Rome and the State Department on the
subject and the only notification received
by the State Department of the event was
in letter from Minister Marsh, dated
Rome, February 8. and received here
eighteen days later. This letter of Minister
Marsh follows:
Legation of United States.
ROME, February 8, 1873
Sr-Pope Plus TX died last evening at
$50 o'clock. at the age Of eighty-five years.
eight months and twenty-five days. and In
the thirty-second year of his pontificate. to
which Office he was elected June 10, 1S46
Thus far the death of the pope has pro-
duced no popular er other public excite
ment, partly, no doubt, because the event
has long been expected, but much more
because Of the very general impression
that whatever the feelings Of individuals
toward the papacy may be, the institution
has lost its regal position and the Roman
see and the life and death of its incumbent
have, strictly speaking. no longer any po-
litical significance. The moral influence Of
the papacy, however. Is as formidable as
ever. and it can and does thus powerfully
affect political actions; but it's power is ex-
erted not by the chair Of st. Peter, but
by the organizations which surround and
control it to such an extent as to render
the personal will and character of the pope
a matter of little Importance
Attempts will be made to bring about
reconciliation hotwe6r, the tiara
crown of Italy; but King Umberto will.
trust, be found firm In his adhesion to
the principle of the supremacy of the civil
government as his father showed himself.
and there is nothing to encourage the ex-
pectation that the successor of Plus TX
will be permitted to propose or accept any
modus vivendi incompatible with the civil
liberties of the Italian people or the rights
of private conscience and opinion.

Sun Spots.
From the Springfield Republican.

=
The theory Of the influence of sun spots
upon the weather is perhaps not SO gen.
orally entertained as it was a few years
ago, but II such meteorological extrava-
gances as the world has seen Of late recur
next year the lay public, at least. will ac-
cept the theory without further argument
For the eleven-year cycle of sun spots
which began in 1900 has been steadily
reaching its maximum. which should come
next year, after which there will be q long
decline. Next year. then. should bring
forth some really frightful weather, while
those who have the hardfhood to survive 1t
may look for slow return to better, times.
