LAST SAD SCENES
OF POPE'S BURIAL

Rome, July 26.-The BODY of Pope
Leo was Inferred in st. Peters last
night. The strokes of the hammer
which resounded throughout the i'm
mense dome OF the cathedral an
nounced to the earnest gathering In the
nave that Leo XIII. had been laid at
rest.
The scene In the chapel was most re-
markably effective. The bier bearing
the body was received by Cardinal
Oreglia. 1t was placed in the center
backed by an altar with a beautiful
image OF the Madonna, before which
were burning four immense candles In
silver staffs Around the two sides OF
the chapel, in the choir seats were thir-
ty-six cardinals.
The body was sprinkled with holy
water. absolution was given and tho
foot OF Leo Kill was kissed for the last
time by Major Domo Cagiano. Master
OF the Chamber Bisletti and Count
Camillio Peeci.

bearing on the cover an inlaid cross.
the entire sacred college and Prince
Colonna rising to their feet as last
tribute and sign OF respect.
When the last supreme moment
came the heavy coffin. weighing in all
] 1922 pounds. was rolled out of the
chapel. preceded by mace bearers and
the choir singing as they went and fol-
lowed by the cardinals, among whom
the bowed figure OF Oreglia. the strong
upright Vannutelli brothers. the white
haired Agliardi and tho immense
black-browed Syampa were the most
conspicuous. Pulleys were attached to
the coffin and soon, to the strains Of
the "Benedictus Dominis Deus Israel"
1t was hoisted into the stone sarcoph-
agus above the door. where II will re-
main until the grateful cardinals ere
ated by the late pontiff shall erect
suitable tomb in the basilica Of st.
John Lateran. which was chosen by the
Pope himself as his final resting place.
Thus was Pope Leo consigned to his
long rest.

ARRESTS CAUSE
PANIC AT PANAMA

Panama. Colombia. July 26.-Not
since the days of the last revolution.
when an attack upon the city by the
I,iberaIs was feared, has there been
such a panic in Panama as occurred
last night. Shortly after Q o'clock the
office Of Ell Lapiz, the organ of the LIB
eral party on the isthums. was visited
by officers of the general stan OF the
army, who destroyed yesterdays edl-
ton of the newspaper. One OF the di-
rector was slightly wounded. but
managed to escape
The news spread rapidly. In the San
ia Anas neighborhood. where most OF
the Liberals reside. sentiment rose to
a high pitch and few Of the promi-
nent people counselled retaliation.
They took no action, however.
The next event came like a bomb
shell. A company of soldiers, appar-
entity under the orders OF General
Vasquez Cobos, commander OF the ma
tional forces. surrounded the residence
of Governor Nuts. but the governor
and his wife. who is an American wom-
an, having been warned few min
utes before the arrival Of the troops,
succeeded in escaping
General Huertas. commander of the
battalion OF Coionpia, "heh nc ie"i nsu
of the Ell Lapiz incident. repaired TO
headquarters. where he found General
Cobos. According to current reports,
the Inter ordered General Huertas TO
remain in quarters.
Exactly what has taken place is un-
known, but 1t is said that DIR. Aristides
Arizona. secretary of the government;
Fernandino Arrange. chief of police. and
Etram Navin. a member of the depart
ment superior tribunal of justice. are
under arrest, the last named for trying
to argue with General Cobos on the le-
gality of his action.

besides a dozen Italians. thus making
total OF twenty-five. But to be elect
ed Pope 1t is necessary to get aitogeth-
er over forty votes, as of the present
sixty-four cardinals not more than two
or three will be absent from the con-
clave.
Thet anti-Rampolla tendency has
more prominent candidates. such as
Oreglia, vannutelli. Satolli and Agliar-
di. which will cause difficulty In ar
riving at an agreement on any one of
them. 1t is already foreshadowed that
should the success of their opponents
be probable. this group will center all
their votes on Cardinal Capecelatro,
bishop of Capula.
A cardinal who seems TO have con-
siderable chance OF success was Car
dinal Sarto. the patriarch of Venice.
but now he is scarcely thought of. be
cause he does not know French. and
is not likely to learn II at seventy
years OF age.
1t is understood that the Prussian
minister accredited to the vatican has
received instructions to favor the cleo
tion of Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli
or Agliardi. Cardinal Kopp. bishop Of
Breslau. who arrived yesterday. has
been approached to the same effect.
The gossip of the day may be
summed up briefly by saying that Car
dinal Gottis chances of election seem
to have improved in comparison with
those OF other cardinals who have
been mentioned as likely to succeed
the dead pontiff. although there still
exists strong feeling that some one
hitherto scarcely talked of may wear
the tiara.

When asked whether he had any
thing to say, why sentence should not
be pronounced Trusty said:

A japanese syndicate has purchased
a large section of land near Houston,
Texas. which will be devoted TO the
cultivation of rice next year. Already a
fiourishing Japanese colony is estab-
lished in the neighborhood of Point
Lavaca. There are enormous districts
of land in Louisiana and Texas excep-
tionally adapted to the growing of
rice. for success in which a richness OF
soil is of less account than an abund-
ance of water. These districts have now
attracted the knowing eye of the most
experienced rice planters in the world.
and 1t Is the superior Japanese seed
that has yielded the great crops In the
region of reclaimed land around about
Crowley. American farmers, from the
time of the chance introduction of the
cereal. through shipwreck. into the
carolinas. did little more than expert
ment with rice until the past decade.
Now we have rice to spare.

severe earthquake shock was felt at

CARDINAL RAMPOLLA LEADS IN
CONTEST FOR THE PAPACY

Rome. July 25.-The nearer the
eonclave approaches. the more two
distinct tendencies are shown in the
Sacred College, especially among the
cardinals of the Curia, that is to say.
those living In Rome, but in which
tie cardinal from the provinces as well
as the foreign cardinal cannot help
participating. These two tendencies
spring from the personality of Cardi-
nal Rampolla. as the great struggle
continues to be in his favor or against
him. II Rampolla finds that in the
first ballot he has considerable num-
ber Of votes. he will try again. II he
has a few votes and one of his oppon-
ents has many. he will renounce his
chance and he and his friends will
support first, Cardinal Gotti. with
whom he has now come to some agree
agreement, and attempt to raise Got
II to the supreme office. with Rampol-
Ia as an ally.
This would mean the maintenance of
Pope Leo's policy on exactly the same
lines and entrusted to the same men
But Gotti inspires great distrust, be-
cause. as he belongs to the religious
orders, he would render the situation
of the papacy extremely difficult at
the present moment, considering the
conditions prevailing in France. Spain
and the Philippines.
1t seems, therefore. almost sure that
II at the first ballot it is not probable
that Gotu can be successful this sec
tion OF the Sacred College will de-
eide on Cardinal Di Pietro. one of
Rampolla's most faithful followers.
