Pope Leo has lived to see another
Sunday, and there are distinct signs
Of improvement in his condition.
During the morning the Pontiff
participated in the celebration If
mass. The ceremony was held in the
chapel adjoining the sick chamber,
Monsignor Marsoni being the cele-
brant. The door connecting the sick
room with the chapel was opened SO
that his Holiness might follow the

with a light, refreshing breeze from
the Mediterranean. Late in the after
noon he received Cardinals Matthew,

VENEZUELAN REBELS BEATEN.
Government Troops Capture soIedad,
strategetic Position.

Soledad, which is a strategic posi-
ton opposite Ciudad, Bolivar. on the
Orinoco river, has been taken by the
Venezuelan government troops. 1t is
believed that the government troops
will make landing on that side Of
the river upon the arrival of General
Gomez, the government commander-in-
chief. 1t is learned through deserters
that General Gomez, before entering
the valley of the Orinoco, defeated the
revolutionists under General Antonio
Paroles, who surrendered Puerto
Cabelloo in 1889. and who was sub.
sequently captured by the liberals
near Irapa.
General Gomez thus secured the
safety of his rear guard. Notwith.
standing local public opinion to the
contrary in government circles, It is
not believed that General Rolando.
who holds Ciudad Bolivar, will be able
to resist the governments attack.

Chinese Situation Causes Many Pro.
tests by the Powers.
The political atmosphere of Japan
during the last week has been thick
with rumors of impending war. The
signal for their birth was the ar
rival Of General Kouropatkin, Russian
minister Of war. The immediate
cause Of the angry sentiment is a sue
cession of reports of Chinese diplo-
matte intrigue with Russia at Picking
and Of the Russian encroachment
upon Korea.
On the 10Th 1t was wired that Mr..
Uchida, Japanese minister at Picking,
the day before filed a formal demand
on the Chinese authorities to open
.doukden and Tai Tung Kout to for
eign trade and requested them not to
accept even one article Of the Rus
sian demands. AS to the opening of
the ports in question, the Chinese au-
thorities replied that the circum-
stances were not favorable for compli-
ance. The British charge d'affaires,
Mr. Townley, was reported to have
taken the same stand as Japan. The
United States demand for the opening
of the harbors Is in addition to the
other demands. In this connection.
negotiations are under way between
Secretary Hay and the Chinese am
bassador in Washington, This reply
to the Japanese demand created q

REA DISAPPOINTING IN ONE
RESPECT.

Collector Chamberlain today turned
over TO r. A. schaefer for the Sailors
Home the sum Of $1611. collected for
the institution last Sunday on board
the steamship Korea. The hat was
passed by one of the passengers and
the coin was turned over to Chamber
lain as temporary trustee for the Home
as the suggestion that a collection be
taken came from him.
The proposal that the hat be passed
was the result Of a complaint that no
collection had been made during the
morning services held on board ship
according to custom. Chamberlain was
the man who made this strange kick
remarking that he had had quarter
all ready for the box but none came
round IF the church don't want it
they might as well have passed the hat
for the sailors home or some other in
stitution that does said the collector.
Other passengers said that they also
had been feeling for coins and had
been ready for the usual church col
lection. The result was that a pas
senger volunteered to pass the hat. He
put a sign on it and went round the
vessel and nearly everyone put in some
coin. one man put i'm all the small
change he had in his pocket and there
was a penny among the coins, making
the odd sum Of SIGH.

the other members present were Sec
rotary T. d. Nichols, R. c. Luther, s.
D. Warmer, John Fahy and William
Dettrey.
Agree on Lehieh Grievances.
The first business was the consider
ing Of the of the coal com
panies 10 the grievances of the miners
submitted by Mr.. Dettrey, covering
hCdlly CNCly SOlllCIJ III IhO liaHClloif
and Lehigh regions. These grievances
alleged discrimination, the refusal Of
some companies to permit of a check
docking boss, neglect to pay b ad-
vance on the new sliding scale and re-
lated to hours of labor. The
of the operators were considered in
detail. Some of the questions con-
cerned the Interpretation of the coal
commissions award and an agreement
was reached by the conciliators on
those questions.
The obstacles encountered by the
conciliators were in regard to ques.
lions of fact where operator and miner
disagreed and these questions could
not be decided until both sides we're
heard.
Fahy Offers New Grievances.
John Fahy, representing the miners
from the %Schuylkill region, presented
to the board a list of thirty-two griev-
ances, covering all the complaints of
employees in collieries in that region.
These grievances are about the same
as those from the Hazelton and Lehigh
regions, with the addition OF the
trouble about the nine-hour workday
on Saturday and the question of the
payment of the 10 per cent advance
decreed by the coal commission on
gross net earnings, and allege that the
plan of the companies [ o pay on the
net earnings lowers the percentage.
This list of grievances is to be in
the hands of the secretary before the
Pottsville meeting, when they will
probably be settled.
