Rome, July 17.-Another day has
passed and the pope has lived through
it Notwithstanding that it was the
feast of the Carmelite Madonna, the
day that was to have ended all on
earth for Leo XIII, if it is true that
he had premonition that he would
die on that day. 1t is said that when
he awoke yesterday he began pray
ing with such fervor that his valet
hurried into the room, and the pope,
hearing him, said: "Ah, Pho, your task
the Carmelite Madonna" But he lived
through it, and hs. mass said in the
chapel adjOurning his bed room. All
day his condition was grave, the dis
tructive feature being the continuance
of his extreme weakness.
Grants Powers to Ram polla.
The doctors seriously considered an
other operation to remove the liquid in
the pleura, but it was finally decided
to let it alone for the time, in spite
of the fact that examination showed
that it's quantity was augmented. No
except the cardinal secretary of state,
Cardinal RampOlla, who was only al
lowed in on the repeated request of
Pope Leo, who said to him that he de-
sired to confirm and extend the power
his eminence already exercises because
of his position, and authorized him to
take measures which in ordinary times
would necessitate the direct interven-
ton of the pontiff ''in recognition Of
his personal devotion to the pOntiff
and the services he had rendered to
the church"
Pope stands by His Faithful Servant,
The tenacity Of Pope Leo is most adj
mirab1e, not only in his organism, but
even in his feeling. The best example
thereof is perhaps the continual proofs
of confidence that his holiness be-
slows on Cardinal RampOlla, who, aft
er faithfully serving the pope for six
teen years, is now being made the OBJ
jecr of most bitter attacks, especially
during the last period, because of the
Francophile attitude Of the papacy.
The pontiff seems to have had an in
tuition that while he lies with one
foot in the grave Cardinal Rampolla's
adversaries are beginning to take adj
vantage of his tottering power to pull
down the idol which until yesterday
they worshiped; so his holiness leaves
nothing uninterrupted to show theworld
up to the last moment how much he
trusts his secretary of state.

commencing 1.-The excellent work done by
them and other officers and men of the

The United States consul at Canton.
China. made the following report of the
occurrence:
about Z o'clock en- Wednesday night.
April -. 1903, fire broke out in a closely
built up portion of Fa II. large town
situated on the banks of the Pearl river.
about two miles from Canton and lying
almost directly opposite the eastern end
of the Island of Shanleen. 1t gained rapid
Roadway through the infammatory ma
terials of which Chinese houses are con-
structed. and the close manner in which
they are huddled together. The narrowness
of the streets. which are rarely over four
feet in width also helped the spread of
the flames In short time almost half
of the town was on FIRE and the town itself
would have been utterly destroyed but for
the heroic work of Lieut.. E. A. Anderson,
Ensign F. w. Sterling and the gallant
crew of the L. S. S. Callao. They were
also the means of saving many human,
lives. 1 regret to say that despite their
efforts upwards of twenty people old
women and men. were burned alive and
100 houses destroyed. Too much praise
cannot be accorded to Lieut.. Anderson. En-
sign Sterling and their gallant sailors. It
gives me great pleasure again to bring
Lieut. Andersons services to the attention
of the department 1 requested him to
prepare written report of the occurrence
and of his participation therein
Lieut. Anderson in his report to the
United States consul general said:
In accordance with your request for a
written report regarding the matter. 1
have the honor to report that, when the
fire broke out across the river from Can
ton. within two three minutes all the
boats of this vessel left for the scene of
the fire
'On our arrival we found that the fire
was rapidly spreading and the Chinese fire
men seemed to be at their wits end and
some working without any judgment
THE entire control of the work of pre-
venting the spread of the fire was taken
In charge by the crew of this vessel under
the direction of the officers.
THE streams Of water were directed by
our men, who went into the burning build

ished and hand grenades supplied from the
Callao used with much effect.
The scene of the fire only left after
all danger of further spread was over.

extinguishing this fire, which if not ar

shah and one empress persisted at the hands
of aSSassins.
The first victim was the Car Paul l of
Russia, strangled by mobiles at st. Peters
burg in the night of March 1924, 1901. He
was followed by Sultan Selim III, who.
after being deposed. was thrown into
prison and by order of Mustapha " also

Garfield. the twentieth President of the
United States was shot by Giteau at Wash

wounds at Elberon, N. j.. on September ~
of the same year. Alexander II of Russia,
