MoNsIoNoR voLPoNI DEAD.
Last Appofntee Of Pope Leo Stricken
Suddenly.


Rome, July 10.--Monsignor Volponi
who was stricken with syncope
Wednesday, died during the morning,
shortly after the doctors in attend
ance had announced that all hope of
saving his life had been abandoned.
Although the condition of the pope is
still the center of interest the case of
Mgr Volponi has attracted much at
tention, not only because of his office
of secretary of the consistorial con-
gregation, to which he had just been
appointed by Pope Leo, but also on &C.
count of the manner in which he was
seized by his fatal illness; and it is
hardly possible to describe the sensa-
tion and emotion which prevailed at
the Vatican when his death was an.
nounced
From the moment he was stricken
and fell to the floor Mgr. Volponi lost
entirely the power of speech and the
use of the entire right side of his body
and he was apparently unconscious
when he died. 1t has been ascertained
that the cause of death was cerebral
congestion
1t will be impossible to keep the
news of the death of Mgr. Volponi
from the pope, as the Office Of secre-
tary of the consistorial congregation,
to which Pope Leo appointed the de.
ceased prelate July 5-the last ap-
pointment made by his holiness must
be filed without delay in view of the
possibility of a papal interrognum, as
it is known that at the moment the
pope dies the secretary of state ceases
to exercise his functions, which pass
to the hands of the secretary of the
consistorial congregation, whose ca
reer is from that time assured, as
according to custom, he is the first
cardinal to be appointed by the new

ATTACKED WITH DIARRHOEA DUE
TO UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF
FOOD TAKEN.
PREVIOUS OUTLOOK MOST HOPEFUL
OPINION EXPRESSED BY HIS AT.
PENDANTS THAT RECOVERY
WAS POSSIBLE.

Rome, July 10.-After the consulta
tion of physicians held during the
evening DR.. Lapponi said:
81 fear there is no hope-no hope
whatever, and yet the end may not
come for day or two"
Rome, July 10.-After day of gen
eral improvement, in which hope for
the recovery of Pope Leo was freely
expressed, he was suddenly attacked
with diarrhoea late in the afternoon,
apparently caused by the large guam
tity of food he had taken and to which
he is unaccustomed, together with his
extreme weakness. The new develop
ment in it's turn augments his weak
ness.
In consequence of the sudden change
for the worse DR.. Rossoni was called
and consultation held.
The patient when he began the day
showed once more his iron fibre by ris-
ing and dressing almost without as
sistance, walking across the room to
his armchair and having his toilet
fully performed, even to the detail of
being shaved. Throughout this pro-
cedure the pope showed no sign Of be.
ing exhausted Indeed, he jokingly
alluded to the amount of nourishment
which was being imposed upon him
and said:
81 ought to grow fat, as I have neveA
had in my life so much as get now."

LcURET LEAVES LONDON.
French President Won Popular Good
Will Durinu Visit,

WIZ DGiIn9 Vi0IGs
London, July 10.-The visit of Presi
dent Loubet to London was brought to
close at 8 40 a. M, when the French
chief magistrate left the Victoria sta
tion for Dover. The scenes and Incl.
dents of his departure testified how
the republican president, by his sim.
pie and cordial sympathy, had captured
all classes and had won that popular
good will which sovereigns have been
unable to achieve. Despite the earli.
ness of his departure crowds lined the
route from ST. James palace to the
railway station and British 'hurrahs"
and French "Vive Loubet" re-echoed
through the streets until the president
had entered the station. Here the ma
tion's guest was met by the king, the
Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con-
naught, Lord Lansdowne, Premier Bal
four, other ministers, members of the
French embassy and crowd of mill
tary and naval officials.
AS M. Loubet's carriage drew up
King Edward advanced with out
stretched hand and, taking the presi-
dent familiarly by the arm, led him
through the waiting room to the royal
car. For a few minutes the king and
the president stood talking with much
animation King Edward grasped M.
Loubet's right hand and shook it COR
daily, while with the left hand he
patted the president on the shoulders.
After renewed handshaking his
majesty showed the president into the
royal car and stood chatting with him
until the train pulled out.

are saying an onslaught on the negrot .
will be made in retaliation when the
troops leave. These threats are being
taken seriously.

NO RESISTANCE EXPECTED.
Gunboat Sent to Release Vessels Held
by VeneZueIans.

Washington, July 10.-The navy de.
partment, at the instance of the state
department, has taken steps to pre-
vent further interference with Ameri-
can shipping in the Orinoco by either
Venezuelan government or rebel
forces. This action was taken upon
the advice of Mr.. Russell, United
States charge at Caracas, to the ef-
feet that the government forces had
detained two ships belonging to the
Orinoco Steam Navigation company
at San Fernando and the insurgents
had detained and were likely to de-
stroy three other ships belonging to
the same company at Ciudad Bolivar.
Orders were cabled to the United
States ship Bancroft, at Port of Spain,
to proceed at once up the Orinoco and
release the detained vessels. No re-
sistance Is anticipated.

GERMAN SHIPPERS SUFFER.
New Meat Law Having Serious Con.
sequences.


Berlin, July 10.-The German meat
law, which went into effect April 1,
is having more serious consequences
commercially than anticipated. AS
the regulations require the inspection
of meats and lard to take place in
bonded warehouses before export and
the inspection fees are heavy the Ger
man merchants complain that they
are placed at great disadvantage in
transit trade. They had hitherto sup
piled Austria and Switzerland with
American meats and lard, sending di-
rectly from the bonded warehouses
without exr ense. Since the meat law
has been applied, however, the Belgian
and Dutch shippers are getting all the
Austrian and Swiss trade and Ger
many Is losing the transit profits. The
German shippers, therefore, are calling
loudly for the abolition of the inspec.
tion requirements In the case of ex
port goods.

asked Cardinal Rampolla whether
there we're any urgent affairs to deal
with and the cardinal made short

The first positive sign of ameliora-
tion in the pope's condition since he
became i'll was seen during the morn
ing The august patient rested well
enough during a great part Of the
night It was not the sleep Of prostra-
tion or collapse, but natural so much
SO that the benefit is quite visible
His temperature is 96, which Is quite
normal for the pontiff, considering his
age and present condition.
What Is important is that his tenn
perature never rose above normal and
never even approached feverish
state He now has slight cough and
his kidneys are still deranged but the
secretion of urine, although very
scarce, is somewhat augmented, which
proves that his heart Is stronger and
his circulation better, as demonstrated
by the complete disappearance of
cyanosis, so that his hands have again
taken their natural, almost diaphanous
aspect.
Dr.. Lapponi is Hopeful.
CDR Lapponi informed the prelates
who were waiting in the antechamber
that he had examined the matter
which the pope had expectorated
through coughing anu ne SAID ne Was
able TO confirm his diagnosis, having
found traces of blood, clearly demon
strating the existence of pneumonia.
Every one noticed that while in
the past DR.. Lapponi never partici-
pated in the rejoicing and enthusiasm
over the announced or imaginary
amelioration in the pope's condition,
remaining always extremely reserved
and anxious looking, during the morn
ing, for the first time, DR.. Lapponi's
face was tranquil and even hopeful
looking, though it was said that he was
very far from believing in real, def
mite and lasting Improvement which
would lead to the portiff's recovery.
Pope Leo himself, at once on
awakening, said that ne was much re-
freshed and stronger and declared with
inimitable energy that he wanted to
resume his ordinary life. He insisted
on dressing himself almost entirely
and afterwards walking to his usual
armchair, where he sat down and, for
the first time since he became i'll,
went through his complete toilet ar
rangements."
