GIBBONS II POWER.
His Influence in the ConclaUe-
Chances for Pdpacy.

Rome, July 9.-The Vatican has received dis
patches from the cardinals in all parts OF the
world stating that they starting immedi-
ately for Rome Cardinal Moran Archbishop Of
Sydney, n. 8. W.. the most distant Of all. tele-
graphed that he sailed to-day. AS he win travel
half way around the globe. 1t is doubted that he
will arrive in time for the conclave. Some
authorities hold that each cardinal has a right
to demand the postponement of the conclave to
permit him to reach Rome but 1t is doubtful II
the selection of a Pope will be deferred
count of any one cardinal. It is recalled that
the American cardinal. McCloskey, arrived too
late to participate in the conclave which selected
Pope Leo 1t is an interesting fact that Arch
bishop Farley, then secretary to Cardinal Nc
CIoskey was also too late to participate a sec
retary in the conclave. but Archbishop Farley
took part in the ceremony of Pope Leo's corona
ton, and through a singular coincidence his
nomination as Archbishop Of New-York oc-
Cured at what was probably the Pontif's last
consistory.
Qualification vas expressed by the American
prelates here on learning that Cardinal Gibbons
sailed to-day for Rome. AS the conclave will
not take place until at least ten days after the
death of the Pope, his eminence Will arrive in
ample time to be present. Cardinal Gibbonss
coming excites widespread interest outside of
Americans, as he is regarded as the representa-
tive of the modern progressive spirit Of the
United States. 1t is recognized that one of the
chief issues at the conclave will be between the
advocates Of modern progress and the support
ers of the conservative traditions of the past.
The "Tribuna," which, since the grave con-
dition Of the health of the Pope became gen.
orally known, has been publishing sketches Of
the cardinals who considered likely to be-
come head of the Church, tonight devotes an
article to Cardinal Gibbons. which ends fol-
lows:
The partisans of AmeriCanism have in the past
often spoken OF Cardinal Gibbons possible
successor to Leo XIII The idea for many
reasons too daring to become reality, but il
would not have appeared altogether impossible
without the Spanish-American War, which rem
dered Cardinal Gibbons's position excessively
delicate with the Catholics and the remainder Of
the world. He would not be Pope of the two
American continents, or even an Americanist,
but Pope Of the United States. against whom
would rise the Spanish cardinals with all the
prestige OF their indisputable loyalty to the
Apostolic See and who would have on their side
the greater part of the Latin cardinals This
does not mean that in case conclave is held
Cardinal Gibbons will be without influence On
the contrary he will have power which will be
exercised by him with wisdom in favor of
candidate who will agree with the state of mod
ern civilization.

CLEARY PLEASED POPE.

a Blessing.

Buffalo. July "a special to The Times

who sent a dispatch to the Popes household
which deeply affected His Holiness, is a layman
instead Of a priest. At the bishops home it
was said that the contents of the cable dispatch
were entirely unknown to the bishop his
household. When told of the remark of digni-
tary within the PapaI circle 10 the effect that
the sender Of the dispatch which affected the
Pope might be made a bishop. the news ELECTED

approach OF death. Although the conditions
change from hour to hour the essential con-
ditions OF mental alertness and physical ugor
continue unbroken. He has never yet made the
slightest lapse into incoherency."
CARDINALS FASTENING TO ROME.
Whatever may be the outcome. the Vatican
world has fully made up its mind that the death
OF the Pope is only a question of days at the
most and probably only Of hours with this
as the prevalent view. every detail for conduct
ing the affairs Of the Church during the interreg
nun and for carrying out the election Of Pope
1eo's successor. is being systematically ar
ranged. Following advices from the Vatican,
the cardinals throughout the world hurry
ing TO Rome in the expectation OF holding tho
conclave These preparations being under
taken in a spirit OF profound grief and as the
performance Of a sacred duty.
Throughout to-day the court OF the Vatican
leading TO the Pope's apartments has been
thronged with distinguished visitors seeking in
formation as 10 the Pope's condition. Practi-
caily the entire diplomatic corps accredited to
the Vatican was among the inquirers, and many
cardinals were also among the groups The
popular solicitude for the Popes condition has
led TO repeal of the rigid rule OF closing the
frances. High and low, coming to ask about the
Pope's condition, were equally admitted TO the
inner court. where the bulletins signed by the
doctors were conspicuously exhibited.
One Of the most remarkable features of the
sick room is the absolute simplicity and the en-
tire absence of the usual elaborate equipment
found In the sick of distinguished pa
tients. There are no trained nurses; the only
attendants besides the doctors are the Pope's
wallets. Centra and De Castro. The doctors are
without a corps of assistants. and there are
none OF the modern appliances for refrigeration
nor any other modern means of ameliorating
the condition Of patients.

Hongkong, Dec. I. - Thousands OF

struction Of several hundred fishing
junks in a typhoon off Swallow. The
havoc was awful when the gales swept
down on the vessels. For days dis
abled junks drifted helplessly about,
their occupants suffering from thirst
and hunger. The Hongkong govern.

Der, picking up eight junks and taking
122 men of the vessels that were
abandoned. The Stanley then returned
to the rescue, for the rescued fisher
men reported there were 400 junks
fishing OF Swallow when the typhoon
came on Nov. 4. From the Stanley 81
disabled junks were seer flying sig
mails OF distress. Several junks were
towed to Hongkong, and then a relief
cruise was made.
Meanwhile three torpedo boat de-
stroyers, the naval water boat Cherub
and a Chinese cruiser were sent out
and rescued many. Several hundred
men were taken from wrecked graft

without food and water from two tc
five days. OF the 400 fishing Junks a.

Bandit Adds Several More Crimes to
opo I let N.,ipct Him

Long List Against Him.
Chicago, Dec. l. = Peter Neiders
meier, one of the members of the
quartet of young bandits who for the
last six months have terrorized Chi
cago, in another confession yesterday
added several more crimes to the long
list already charged against him,
Vaudine, Marx and Roeski. With pa
rental love uppermost in his mind,
Neidermeier offered to tell Chief Of
Police O'Neil of a score Of robberies,
~burglaries and other crimes that he
had committed if the rewards offered
will only be given to his mother.
81 want to know hat my mother
will be cared for after | am hanged"
said the twenty-one-year-old boy, who
is now the self-confessed murderer of
five men. 81 am guilty Of crime OF
which you know nothing, and for
which
Innocent Men Are Now Suffering.
There are rewards offered for the cul-
prits' arrest and conviction. If you
will guarantee that these rewards 60
t o my mother l will convict myself. l
will confess crimes that will startle
you,
In order to make his word good
Neidermeier told of a few crimes he
claimed to have committed. He out
lined them in such a manner, Chief OF
Police O'Neil declared, as only one
concerned in them could do. Neider-
meier, however, refused to divulge the
names of his partners in the affairs re-
ferred to, pending the assurance that
his mother would get the rewards.
A Few Of His Cri nes.
A few of the additional crimes he
claims to have participated in are as
follows:
Robbery Of the Illinois &c ltral lin.
tied express at Paducah, KY. in
which Barth, one Of the robbers, cut
his throat while surrounded in a
swamp. The others escaped.
Hold-up of a stage coach, committed
near Butler, Neb., two years ago, and
the robbers escaped.
Hold-up and robbery OK Chicago &
Northwestern passenger train neal
Clybourne, Iowa, six months ago.
Hold-up and attempted robbery o.
Baltimore & Ohio train at Edgemore
Ind, four years ago.
Minor hold-ups and robberies in Chi
cago were mentioned by Neidermeier
but in all cases he was careful to con
ceal the names of his associates IL
crime. merely giving sufficient
Outlines of the Grimes
to warrant Chief O'Neil to believe tina
Neidermeier was telling the fruits.
When Neidermeier was taken bac]
to his cell it was with the assuranc,
that his mother would be bettered $50
financially. Special Agent Wiley o
the Chicago & Northwestern, prom
. ised him that Mrs. Neidermeier woul'
, be given the $500 for the arrest an
