AsPHYxIATED BY GAS.
One Guest Dead. Another Dying and .
Third Seriously Ill Through Not Know
ing About Turning on Gas.

San Francisco, Aug. N.-One dead,
another dying and third seriously
Ill from the effects of carbon monoxide
gas is the record of an asphyxiation
case that developed in a room at the
International hotel on Kearney street
yesterday. The victim Of the deadly
fumes was Casimiro Chavez, lad IL
years old. Salamon Chavez, brother
in-lsw Of the dead boy, Is at the hos
pital with the chances against his re-
covery. Mrs. Casimiro Chavez. who
narrowly escaped asphyxiation, is un-
der q physician's care. Salamon Cha
vez is an employe Of the Santa Fe Rail-
road company at Albuquerque, N. M,
and came with his wife and her
brother on a business trip to San Fran
cisco.
"This was an accident" said Mrs.
Chavez; I'VE are not used to gas and
perhaps my husband turned the gas
ON again after having turned 1t of.
He had no reason to commit suicide
that I know of"

Berlin, Aug. 31.--The most extraor-
binary reports have sprung into circu-
lation during the last few days regard
Ing not only the physical, but the mem
tai health Of the new pope, Plus K
In Cologne, one OF the most impor-
tant Catholic centers in northern Eu-
rope, the people do not conceal their
fears that the successor OF Leo Kill
will not DO able to support very long
the fatigues and confinement Of the
great position so suddenly thrust upon
him. These reports, current In Ger
man Catholic circles, receive gignif-
cant corroboration In the latest dis
patches from Rome. They say that
Plus x. weeps constantly in his room,
even before people, and declares that
he can only be made happy by return
ing to Venice, or, at least. to Venetia.
The cause of all this and Of the pope's
indisposition is the heavy burden OF
the pontifcate which has been forced
upon him. Evidently confinement In
the vatican Is prejudicial to the health
OF Plus X, who has been accustomed
to the free air Of the lagoons, where
he was often seen In dongola.

Signor Marconi, who arrived Saturday
on the Cunard liner Lucania, the sys-
tenn Of sending wireless messages to
any necessary distance under any con-
ditions has been perfected and with
in three months his company will ac-

IANcLEY's ArRsHIp.


Whitewater. Va, Aug. 29.-Prcf.
Langley's airship houseboat had an
other disastrous experience in Po-
tomac gale yesterday evening. Soon
after the experts gave up hopes o,
launching the aerodrome and returned
to Clifton beach storm broke furi-
ously. The houseboat slipped her
moorings and travelled rapidly down
stream for two miles, where her
anchors caught in the mud bottom.
A few men were aboard, but they were
powerless and the storm was too se-
we're for any assistance to be afforded
by the tugs. The small steam launch
tender, the Float, and three rowboats
were lost. They were sought by the
tugs unsuccessfully and the search
will be resumed to-day. The house
boat Is now nearer the Virginia shore,
where she will remain until after the
experiment. Before the storm Prof.
Langley said test would be made
to-day If the weather permitted.
The flying machine was so shaken up
that the launching may be postponed
for repairs.
