 Drs. Lapponi and Dayenezia visited Plus today. and though they found him almost entirely recovered, they continued to say that he should take a rest and abstentation from all work.
 "But this will mean such an accumu- lation of work that 1t will kill me after wards to catch up with it," said the Pope in reply.
 The Pope being now practically well again. two photographers were granted permission today to photograph him in the garden of the Vatican.

Washington. Aug. 12.--t Special. )-- There Is considerable talk here to-day over the Root resignation and the likelihood of the war secretaryship going to Governor Taft. tfEe
 The success of Taftis administration in the Philippines and his masterful famii- iarity with the insular affairs of the gov- ernment with which the department has now the greater part or it's most impor- tant dealings, lend some force to the suggestion of him as Roots successor. This contingency, of course. involves the probability of the promotion of Gen. Luke E. Wright to the governorship ok the Eastern Archipelago.

FIFTY LIVES ARE LOST

Kingston, Jam., Aug. 12.-The effects or the West Indian hurricane, which has swept on to the north, upon the Island of Jamaica are greater and more serious than first reported. Reports of loss or life are coming in and it is believed that the death list will reach fifty, while hun dreds of persons were injured The prop erty loss will, it is believed, easily reach S10,0O0,O00 Port Antonio, on the north coast of the island, was overwhelmed and only six houses were left standing there In the southeastern portion of the island many men were carried out to sea ana drowned.
 The United Fruit Company's wharves. hotel and plantations were utterly demoi- ished Five of the company's steamers including the Simon Dumois, Alfred Du- mois and Brighton, were driven ashore, but are lying in easy positions. Fort Mario another town on the north coast also suffered similarly. The coast is strewn with wreckage of local sailing vessels.
 Many Fatalities.
 It Is feared that the loss of life has been heavy, thirty fatalities having al- ready been reported, principally among seamen.
 The entire eastern end of the island has been devastated Villages have been wiped out and public buildings and churches demolished. Thousands or tne peasantry, rendered homeless and desti- tute, are wandering about seeking food and shelter. The destruction of the ba- mana plantations is complete and the fruit trade is paralyzed for the next twelve months. Hundreds of prosperous fruit growers have been brought to bankruptcy and ruin.
 The western end of the island. which at first was supposed to have escaped. also suffered severely, though not to an extent which the eastern part did. New banana plantations planted there were partially destroyed and the orange and coffee crops were also injured. The Nor wegian steamer Salvatore dfsGfargfi was driven ashore at Annotee Bay and lies in a dangerous position Several sailing ves- sells were wrecked op the north side. It is still stormy and threatening and there are fears that there may be a renewal of the storm. Thousands of,houses in Kings ton were damaged. the wharves were bat tered and several coasting vessels were sunk in the harbor.
 Trade is practically at a standstill. The southeastern portion of the island was denuded of crops and the rivers are flooded Considering the damage to prop erty during the hurricane, the loss of life was comparatively small. although the present estimate now is that the death list will reach fifty. Hundreds of per sons were injured and there were numer- ous hairbrcadth escapes.
