Changes In The Church.
Death Of Pope and the Election OF
Anew Pope Brings About Great
Changes.

The death Of the Pope brings
z6out a widespread change in all
.he administrative departments of
The Church, and considerably in
duences questions ofChurch policy.
The change within the Vatican af-
iects practically all the officials,
Apm the highest to the lowest.
C2rdina! Rampolla retires from
he post Of Secretary of State. Other
high officials are similarly affected
the Master of the Chamber, the
Under Secretary Of State, the Vicar
Of Rome, the Vice Chancellor, the
Grand Penitentiary, the Librarian
Of the Vatican and a host of lesser
officials. These will continue to ex-
ercise their functions until the new
Pope Is elected, when he will de-
signate his own Secretary of State
and other officials to carry on the
various important branches of the
ChuTch'7 work.
Thus there IS a complete trans
formation Of Apostolic authority,
she death Of the Pope meaning the
nominal death OF all the officials
ander him. Tie Propaganda alone
remains intact, as the Project and
entire machinery of the Propaganda
are unaffected.
The chief International questions
Fhich may be affected by the death
Of the Pope are those connected with
ihe suppression Of religious orders
N France. the change of the clergy
n the new Spanish-American pos
sessions, the successor of the late
Cardinal Vaughan, and attendant
questions connected with the ad-
ministration Of the Church in Eng
land. Emperor Williams visit to
the Pope created a new bond of
sympathy between Germany and
the Vatican. All these questions are
more less affected by the death of
Inc Pope.
Among Vatican officials the
Philippine question, involving
transfers iyom the Spanish to the
American hierarchy and the elm
nation oi the iriaT>, Is regarded as
'ne OF the most important. The
present Philippine policy had the
hearty approval Of Leo NH. and
here Is no reason 10 believe that it
will be ehangej-Exchange.

Plus x.-The Ardent Man.
His Character One of Weakness
Combined With Energy and
Deep Piety.
Atlanta Constitution:

AlldHtd OODSlliUI!OD-
So unexpected was the announce
ment of the election of Sarto to the
papal crown that only the cable
accounts of his personality, career
and possibilities are at command.
But they give abundant reason for
the first faith that the conclave has
been led TO a wise, safe and spiri-
tuall,v prophetic choice. Ifthis con-
clusion shall be confirmed by fol-
lowing advices the whole Christian
and political world will have
reason to congratulate the sacred
college for great exhibition of
courage and convervatism.
Unless the ancient prophecy is
here and now to be broken, the
ardent man has been found and if
a divine influence has really guided
the choice this ardent man will be
"a burning fire" of the wholesome
sort. Unless, in fact, he shall change
his nature and record as he changes
from cardinal priest to pope the
Roman Catholic world has gained
pontiff who will infame altar fires
rather than camp fires and ensure
peace as the field or forces, that
will bring brilliant and lasting
victories, more to be esteemed than
those gainable by reaction and con-
fiict.
1t was happy event for the
church when Leo NH formed and
followed his great policy of humani-
ty and Christian humility to ir-
rovocable circumstances; when he'i
entered into a genuine vicarship of
The Man of Sorrows and The
Prince Of Peace. But a happier day |
to the church will be the yesterday |
when great, devout preacher,
charitable administrator and icono-
clast of false images succeeded to
the tiara of Leo and the worldwide |
his reign of a quarter
Of a century opened 10 his success
ser.
Plus y evidently assumes his
name impressed by his
own significance rather than from
grateful and sympathetic feeling
with Plus N. His promotions and
MS strong churchly and personal
attachments were all with Leo. 1t
5 fair to assume that two-thlrds OF
he cOnclave We're anxious to make ,
10 selection that would initiate a
departure from the lines followed
" Leo and so the choice gravitat
d to one thoroughly imbued with 5
he polity and personal aims of the {
'ontiff who has Just passed on
head.
The character Of Plus X appears s
0 be one OF merkness combined {
nth energy, of deep piety allied to 5
olicies for the uplift and better s
lent OF humanity. Under the reign {
t such man the church should {
love steadily forward in favor and (

Minority Coinage Bill for the
Philippines Wins.
SHAW FAVORS THIS BILL
And Many Republicans Unite With The Demo
Gratis to Push II Trough The HOUSE,
The Senate Discusses the State
hood Measure.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, Jan. 22.-The House lead
ers went down to signal defeat today
when the House, by a vote of 146 to 12S
rejected the Philippine Coinage Bill re-
ported by the Insular Affairs Committee
and adopted the substitute by the min
ority under the leadership of Mr.. Jones,
of Virginia, for the introduction of
American currency and the American
coinage system in the islands.
The Insuar Committee includes in it's
membership the chairman of the most
powerful committees of the House, Mr..
Cannon chairman of the Appropriations.
Mr.. Hit, chairman of Foreign Affairs;
Mr.. Payne, chairman of Ways and Means :;
Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of Interstate
Commerce, and Mr.. Tawney, chairman of
the Committee on Expositions They re-
ported bill to establish the gold stand
ard in the islands, and to authorize the
coinage of silver pesos of 416 grains, to
be made legal tender at the rate of two
pesos for one gold dollar. The majority
members made a gallant fight for their
bill, but a considerable number of Re-
publicans, 28 on the final vote, under the
lead of Mr.. Hit, of Connecticut; Mr..
Fowler, of New Jersey, and Mr.. Mccall,
of Massachusetts, joined with the Demo-
Gratis and carried through the substi-
tute. The fact that SECRETARY Shaw
and other high treasury officials were
quoted on the floor as favoring the sub
stitute, aided the overthrow of the COM
mittee bill. Their opinions were ad-
vanced as against those of Governor Taft
and other members of the Philippine
Commission.
The substitute passed provides that the
lawful money of the United States shall
be legal tender in the Philippines, and
declares the coinage laws of the United
States to be in full force there. 1t pro-
vides for the redemption of the Mexican
and Spanish silver at their bullion
value. After six months no coin except
that of the United States shall be legal
tender The bill provides for re-coinage
of Philippine silver.

Charlotte, n. c., Jan. 22.-The condi-
tion of Messrs. j. NJ. Boyce and o. r..
Mcleod. the two students at the North
Carolina Medical College who are suf-
fering from blood poisoning as result
of dissecting a cadaver, is alarming. The
death of each is momentarily expected.
Notwithstanding the fact that heroic ef-
forts have been used including the for
malin treatment discovered by Or. Bar
rows. of New York, no Improvement has
resulted.
These two men, with other students Of
the college, were at work in the disSect-
ing rom handling and studying the in
testines of the same cadaver which seems
to have been especially poisonous. Boyce
stuck sharp-pointed instrument in his
hand while at work and Mcleod had a
slight abrasion on the back of his right
hand. Neither of these wounds were no.
ticed by the students while they were in
the dissecting room.
The day afterward Boyce had a chill,
followed by fever and pain in the chest,
which, with other signs indicated a re-
turn Of pleurisy with which he had been
affected previously. Simple remedies
were administered which seemed to give
relief. A few hours later Boyce recalled
and mentioned to his rom mate the dis
secting house incident. Mcleod was
taken the same night and almost the
same hour as his fellow student and in
precisely the same way. Yesterday af
ternoon DR.. Munroe. president of the
college, injected formalin into the tissues
of the chests of both patients. Each
registered a temperature of LOG, and the
administration of formalin reduced this
within an hour to 102, but the relief was
only temporary.
A message from the sick room tonight
at o'clock is to the effect that neither
is expected to live more than a few hours.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Munroe wired
DR.. Barrows of New York for the exact
method of the formaln injection. This
prescription was adhered to strictly, but
as has been stated, little result followed.

THE sHELLING OF SAN CARLOS.
Department Officials Rsticent When Asked
What it Means.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Jan. GA cable
gram has been received here from Mr.
Russell, American charge at Caracas
confirming the press repot to the effect
that three German warships began to
bombard Fort San Carlos yesterday. The
oablegram does not indicate the result
of the bombardment and, in fact, con-
tains no other details.
There is a singular reticence on the
part of the State Department officials,
suddenly developed in connection with
the Venezuelan situation and especially
with reference to the German lombard
ment which may be significant of the
gravity with which they view the situa-
tion. There is no longer any talk of
exerting friendly influences to prevent
these bombardments, but it is difficult
for the department to answer Congress
sional callers who are asking for rea-
sonable explanation. hr annoying fea-
ture Of the situation is the probability
that there may be Z serious interference
with Minister Bowen's mission in which
the United States Government, though
not officially concerned, is deeply inter-
ested There were rumors 20 the effect
tHaC IHe state department nad taken
steps to point oct to the Foreign Office
at London. erlin and Rome its Jews on
this subject but those could not be con-
frrned and today it was stated that at
present the attitude of the United States
mus be one of patient waiting.
Mr.. Bowen called at the State Depart
ment and had a short talk with Dr.
Hill and with third Assistant Secretary
Pierce. He is making number of semi
official calls on the foreign embassies
and legations other than the allies and
III is believed that tn is in pursuance
os his general duty of adjusting any prop
er claim they may have against Vene-
zuela. 1t is the understanding that none
of the countries which refrained from
joining in the blockade will be permitted
to suffer by Venezuela in consequence of
its forbearance but that its citizens who
have suffered as result of the Vene-
zuelan revolutionary movements and
other causes will, when it comes to a
settlement of it's claims, be placed upon
ar equality with claimants from Eng
land, Germany and Italy.
It was stated that nothing in the ma
turs of an answer to Minister Bowen S
proposition for a removal of the block
ade as a condition precedent to negotia-
tions had been received from any of the
European foreign offices, though it is ad-
mitted that there is a free exchange OF
notes in progress between the embassies
and the European capitals.

DON'T BRING WILCOX

Elizabeth City Not Ready to

Yet.
Especial to News and Observer }

Hertford, n. c., Jan. 22.-Sheriff Wins
low today made all arrangements to
move Wilcox from here to the Pasquo-
tank County Jail on the 2:0S train, but
shortly before train time telegram
from Elizabeth City asking him not to
bring the prisoner today. The sheriff
went there alone. The authorities here
and in Elizabeth City had used every
precaution to keep secret the time OF
transfer, but to no avail.
Wilcox tonight was in good spirits and
seemingly in Indifferent as to which
prison he is kept in. He yet declares
his innocence and has hopes of new
trial, but the probabilities of realiza-
ton are regarded as remote.
This old town today was suffering
from relaxation following ten days OF
nervous tension and excitement, but Will
cox will be a lvie topic for many days
to come.
One visitors hard luck story was going
about today. 1t was said he had travel
ed 100 miles to attend the trial, bring
ing his provisions, and then could MOI
get far enough inside the court house
to catch glimpse of wilcox. Another
item just made public is that there was
a man here who declared if the verdict
acquitted Wilcox he would shoot dowr
the prisoner before he left the cour
house. The person in question is sait
to be one who knows no fear. His name
was not called.
The published reports that there were
five Quakers o nthe jury is incorrect
There was only one.

ion of Chief Justice Chapman, of Massa-
chusetts in the case of the City of
Worcester against the Norwich Railroad
and others. to the effect that the right
reserved by by Legislatures to amend or
alter charter was for the express pur-
pose of compelling unwilling corporations
to extend their tracks so as to connect
with other railroads for the convenience
of the public.
He further cited Vol. 8 of Cook on
Corporations, where he said that Legis-
lature may compel a corporation to con-
struct bridges, guard crossings, build
stations, and in all ways exercise police
powers, and may order railroads to unite
in union depot.
AS to the question of delegating the
power to the COMMISSION, p. lis of the
American and English Encyclopedia, %,
was cited. that there is no question as
to the power of Legislature to compel
and regulate, either Directly or Indirect
ly or through railroad commission, the
establishment of stations.
