THE POSSIBILITY or WAR.


Kin Chau, opposite New Chwang,
Manchuria, July s.-All the prominent
Russian officials In China, Manchuria
and Korea are attending the confer
>ence at Port Arthur. Among them
are Minister of war Kuropatkin, Ad-
miral AlexiefR, the Russian ministers
at Pekin, and Seoul, the political
agents in China and Korea, including
NJ. Pokotiloff, recently Russian finan-
ciaf representative at Pekin; Gen.
Dessino, the military agent in China;
the civil and military officers at Muk-
den, Harbin and Kirin, and the ad-
ministrator of New Chwang. The
proceedings at the conference were
enveloped in profound secrecy.
It is popularity supposd that the
Russian officials are considering war
questions. The foreign commercial
officials at New Chwang and Port Ar
thur believe that the possibility Of
war is increasing steadily. The Rus
sian policy is believed to be to hold
the present positions in Manchuria,
including New Chwang, and to take no
steps to avert hostility with Japan, if
it is assured that Japan will fight
unaided. The war feeling among the
japanese in North China is intensity

DANGER Is NOT AL PAST, |
Evansville, Ind, Is Quiet With Four
So Hundred Soldiers Acting
as Peacemakers.
VERY LITTLE BUSINESS IS BEINe DONE.
Company sf Militia Disperse &o
Their Homes ana When the Fu-
nerals of the Victims Occur-The
Death List VIII Reach Twelve.

Evansville, Ind, July 8.-This citv
passed quiet night Tuesday night.
With 400 soldiers camped around the
courthouse and Jail and in the park,
any disposition toward law}essness
was suppressed. Not a gun was fired
during the night, and no street gath
erings were seen.
Brig.-Gen. Mckee is practically in
control of the city. The troops will
be held here, it is believed, till
Thursday night OR Friday morning.
No time for their return has been
fixed.
The Evansville company will be re-
lieved at once. When this company
scatters to the homes of it's members,
some trouble is feared in individual
cases, due to the feeling against the
troops. The general feeling among
business interests and influential citi-
zens is that the soldiers, in firing in
to the mob, only did what was neces-
sary and their duty.
Business is partially suspended, all
saloons are closed and business
houses have shut down.
Five funerals of the victims will be
held Thursday. It is believed there
will be three other deaths, at least,
making the total dead IL or more.
The funerals of the others have not
been fixed. The effect of the funerals
is dreaded, and another outbreak is
feared.

Elections for All Omces.

Judge Walter f. Clark, of North
Carolina, who is Mr.. Bryan's choice
for president in 1904, believs in pop
ular elections, and he wants them to
come all along the line, from a direct
vote for president and United States
senator's to the selection of post
masters. He would have all public
Offices elective by the people, even the
supreme and subordinate federal
judges, and the inference is that the
tenure of federal judges should be no
longer than the stated terms for
Judges of state courts.

Rome, July S.-The physicians in at
tendance upon Pope Leo, at quarter
of ten Wednesday morning, posted
the following bulletin:
''The night passed TRANQUILITY
enough, though the pontiff had NO
restorative sleep. The pulse was fre-
quent, but regular. Breathing was
as free as last night. The condition
of the pope does not permit of long
examination, but it seems that the
pneumonia tends to solve itself, and
that the pleuric liquid is not regath-

ton of the patient is not tranquiliz-

Though Cautiously WOrded 1t Was
Not ReassurinE.
Rome, July, s-11:35 a. MAS can
be seen by the bulletin, the pope's
condition is not so favorable as it
was Tuesday night, due to the fact
that the improvement after the oper-
alton of Tuesday has not assumed the
proportions the doctors wished.
While the Inflammation of the lungs
is decreasing, the patients general
condition does not improve, and there
is tendency towards a radical
change for the worse. The pontiff is
extremely weak and even chloroform
seems to have lost it's power to give
the sufferer the relief of tranquil rest.
Besides, what depresses the pope is
the difficulty he is experiencing in
breathing. At times he appears to
be upon the point of strangulation
and then his breathing gradually be-
comes weaker until his heart appar-
emily stops.
Another great pre-occupation of the
doctors is the arrangement of the
patients kidneys, as result of which
blood poisoning is feareed. The out
look now is that the pope's life may
perhaps be prolonged more than
could have been expected 36 hours
ago. but the hopes of his recovery are
still very small.
The following particulars were OBJ
tanned of the doctors visit Wednes-
day morning to the pope:
''How feels His Holiness?'' asked
DR.. Mazzoni.
Il do not feel as we'll. am weaker ~
replied the pontiff.
"Perhaps you did not sleep suf6-
ciently?''
mo, no." answered the pope. 81 was

cause to-day should be day of great
work.
''Surely,'' DIR. Mazzoni replied, ''His
Holiness does not intend to work?''
'Certainly," answered the pope. II
have SO many things to do, but I am
afraid have not the strength
Both of the doctors then proceed to
convince the pontiff of the necessity
for rest, urging him not to place OBJ
stacles in the way of his recovery.
II shall do as you wish,'' said the
pope. ''in conclusion, with sigh of
resignation. ...z -.
