FORCED DOWN FOOD.
The Pope Still Has Hope c
Recovery.

Rome. July THE pope this morn
ing expressed the desire of again taking
communion Notwithstanding the fact
that he received the last communion
on Sunday and extreme JUNCTION yes
terday evering. Monsignor Marzolini,
one of the cha berlains, therefore per-
formed both ceremonies. The pope show
ed great serenity, repeating that he
felt quite prepared to leave the world.
In spite of this he now and then re-
ceived his niece and Count Canal, her
husband. who came purposely from
their home in the country to see him
again.
The pontiff continues to be greatly
interested as to what the press says
about him, asks to be informed regard
ing the printed opinions and views eX-
pressed and shows satisfaction on learn
ing that throughout the world general
regret at his condition is manifested
without distinction of creed or poll
tics
After last nights collapse, as though
aware for the first time of his danger
the pope literally forced himself to take
a greater quantity of nourishment.
Today the authorities inaugurated
more stringent regulations for the pre-
servation of order and quiet at the vati-
can.

LOOKING TO THE SUCCESS SION
Cardinal Rampolla Aspires to Become
"Red Pope.n

Rome, July 7.-Great activity reigns
among the cardinals, now that II is sure
a conclave cannot be far off. 1t is even
said that there has been an exchange OF
kilograms in cipher between the mem
bers of the sacred college in Rome ana
those in the provinces or abroad In
numera Bile rumors are circulating and
scarcely any cardinal is deprived OF the
fattery of being considered candidate
However, beside those mentioned in the
Associated Press dispatch, the only
other candidates who are regarded as
having a fair chance are Cardinal
Svampa. archbishop of Bologna. and
Cardinal Richelmy, archbishop or
Turin. Cardinal Rampolla is thought
by many to have the best chance of be-
ing elected. According to the most ac-
credited vatican gossip. however, Car
dinal Rampolla has entered into an
agreement with Cardinal Gotti, pre-
feet of the congregation of the propa-
ganda to support the election of the lat
ter on condition that he himself be APP
pointed Gotti's successor as project or
the propaganda, the holder of which
post is called the RED Pope"

CARNAGE.

Governor Durbin is considering the
advisability Of declaring martial law.
Great excitement prevails here todaN.
TAKEN TO JEFFERSONVILLE-
Vincennes, Ind, July Lee Brown,
the negro, who was in Jail here for safe
keeping after he killed Policeman Mas
sey at Evansville and precipitated the
race riots there, was today taken TO the
state prison at Jeffersonville, by Sher-
iff Summit on an order from Governor
Durbin. At Jeffersonville Brown cannot
be reach by any mob. The negro was
barely alive and had to be given stimu-
lants and worked with for two hours by
Dr. Beckes before he could be taken to
the train. Browns removal caused great
relief here where the worst was expect
ed tonight.
HELD IN RESERVE.
Indianapolis, July THE governor
this morning ordered the Indianapolis
militia comprising four companies of
infantry and one battery of artillery,
to mobilize at their armory and be
ready to proceed to Evansville at
o'clock if at that hour it should be
deemed that their presence at Evans
vile is necessary
Most of the killed and wounded were
members of prominent families.
There is much criticism of the mill
tia, but the soldiers probably acted
within their rights as laid down by law,
and it seems that the sufferers or their
friends and relatives will have no re-
dress
In last nights mob there were a num-
Der of women, led there seemingly by
curiosity and not realizing the dreadful
seriousness of the situation. Two wo-
men with their infants in go-carts were
noticed in the throng but a few min
utes before the shooting began.

POPE GETS RELIEF.


Continued from Page -
bunaI with full trust in the divine mer-
cy.
Mgr. Pifferi, Pope Leo's confessor, ad
ministered the extreme JUNCTION, and
when the ceremony was over his hoii-
ness sank back on the pillow with ap
parent great relief that all was done
and that he was entering into rest, af-
ter his long pilgrimage.
After the administration of viacticum
kilograms hoping for his recovery were
shown to the pope ana he appeared to
be much gratified. One of the strangest
features in his condition is the interest
the pope takes in kilograms inquiring
about his health. Yesterday having
heard that a French lady whom he had
received in audience a few weeks ago
had telegraphed a message of sympathy
he asked to see the message and when
Mgr. Pifferi brought it he was not sat
isfed with looking at the message but
wished to read it.
