A BOY OR A GIRL?

Romc.-It is difficult to say just what Italy would do if an event in the royal family a few months hence should pro- vide the long desired heir to the Italian throne. For that would mean, among other more important things, that the country of Garibaldi had emerged tri- umphant in the somewhat pathetic ri valry-if it can be called so-that has been going on between Italy and Russia to see which will be first to get royal baby boy who may, in time, become king or czar.
 As it is, Italy is rather ahead in this momentous race, for whereas her hand some young queen has presented her husband with only two daughters, the czarina is now the mother of four ,lit tie girls, so that the tendency on her part may be taken as even more mark ed.
 Owing to her expected motherhood. Queen Elena of Italy, has just decided not to accompany the king on his com ing visit to President Loubet of France. Instead, she will betake herself, inn mediately the king leaves Rome, to the little town On the Mediterranean where she and her royal husband spend nearly all of their holidays.
 Of course, this royal couple will feel bitterly disappointed if the expected baby should prove to be girl but that will not prevent the little miss from re- ceiving the heartiest sort of a welcome into what must be described as enc of the happiest royal households in the world.
 It was not until five years after King Victor Emmanuel's marriage to the .,rl- of that the first of their two little daugh- ters was born, but there is no doubt that since that time the royal couple have got enough real. democratic fun" out of the small Princess Yolanda and her baby sister, Princess Mafalda, to more than compensate them for their long season of deprivation. In fact the few Italians who really know what unrCyal frolics go on in the royal palace say that it probably is because the king had to wait so long fer his two little girls that he seems bent on spelling them.
 For. the most rigid of disciplinarians outside his little family circle, the king is, within it. the most tolerant and do- cile of fathers. You never wCuld think to see him glancing sternly down the ranks of one of his regiments drawn up fer inspection, that his majesty was wishing that the whole business was over and that he were in the nursery, on all fours, in the capacity of bear for the delectation of little two-year- O, Yol~nda and the baby Mafalda. But. ten chances to one. that is exactly that the king is thinking. His favorite hour. and that of Queen Elena, is the one between o'clock and 6, when this decidedly democratic king and queen have tea served in her ma ajesty's bou- doir, send the servants away, and pro ceed to frolic with the two small prin- cesses to their hearts content.-Special Correspondence of The Washington Post.

upon Cardinal Vannutelli, that deter mined Leo XIII. to make Cardinal Gotti prefect of the propaganda. The ap- pointment at any rate, was a thorough " successful one, favora ble to Catholic interests in this country, and warmly approved in Italy. MT. Crawford's ac- count of Cardinal Gotti helps to ex- plain fIs successful work. Though so long mcnk." MT. Crawford says in one place, "he seems to possess a thor ough knowledge of the world. and though he has lived great part of his life in the solitude of the cloister. he has marvellous power of winning af- lection and trust from all who know him'-he possesses ''the sort of power which is not feared but loved" In short, barring temperamental differ ences, the elder Vannutelli and the Car melite Gotti evidently belong in the same high class with Leo XIII.
 Why, then, do these two men seem to be opposed to each other in the con- clave? Why, when. their qualities are so similar. are they not standing to- gether? Our explanation is that Car dinal Rampolla has decided.for himself to inherit, for the time being. the par sonal policy of Leo XIII. in this matter. Leo XIII. made Gotti prefect of the propaganda instead of Vannutelli, and so Rampolla, in case he cannot become Dope. will transfer his votes to Cardinal Gctti: and then. in case this double play fails, the Rampolla-Gotti votes may be thrown for Cardinal di Pietro. This would be a third choice. from the point of view of Cardinal Rampolla-: whereas if the Vannutelli votes should ultimately go to Cardinal Agliardi. that would be a plain secCnd choice All these speculations are very venture some and wholly uncertain; but at any rate they have the value of bringing out more distinctly some of the per sons who are concerned in the history making work.

Probability of War.

St. Petersburg, March 1.-some pub- licists are of the opinion that only the sternest language towards Turkey can prevent, a war between Russia and Turkey in the spring. They believe that Turkey will pursue bands of Mace donian reveiutionists across the Bull garian frontier, and that public opinion will compel Russia to interfere. The Russians thoroughly understand that a war with Turkey will be more severe one than that in 1878. Officers are quoted as saying that the Turkish army is the best in the world, owing to its German organization and armament. There is an inclination here to antici- pate German financial support of Tur- key, and, in view of the situation, fore bodings of a clash with Turkey are freely expressed in private, although they are carefully suppressed in the newspapers.

POPE'S APPROACHING END
REFERS TO IT WHILE ADDRESS, ING CARDINALS.
Holds Reception in His Private Library
 Eaters With Bowed aud Trembling Form-Excitement of the Audiences { Animates Him and He Gains streng,h i as He Proceeds with His Address.

Rome,s March 1,-Dr. Laponi this morning made 3 last effort to induce the pope to renounce his reception of the cardinal, but the pontiff replied that he should perform his duty.
 The audience was held in the pope.s private library and Leo XIII. spoke continuously for half an hour with the forty-two cardinals present. No ad- dress was delivered and the most inn yportant words were when the pontiff referred with emphasis to his advanced age and approaching end. He was led to speak thereof in reminding the car. dinals that the room in which he was receiving them was the same in which Plus TX. held his last consistory, he Cleo XIII.) being present, but in bed. The cardinals greeted this reference to the pope's approach of death with a chorus of noes and with exelamations of we have all come to wish you a long life"
 By this time the excitement of the re- ception had improved Pope Leo's ap- pearance When he entered the library his form was bowed and trembling, but he now seemed to have acquired strength and animation He showed the cardinals a magnificent antique clock which had just been presented to him by the Count of Caserta, the head of the Naples branch of the Bourbon family. Before retiring he presented to each cardinal a richly produced pamphlet, reviewing the chief events in his pontifcate, including a Latin poem of his own composition and five Of hls most important encyclicals. He said: II will order that the few cardinals absent, like Cardinal Gibbons shall also have It." % .5 @.' #&

RIVERS OVERFLOW.
Great Damage in Pitt.neid aud Other
 Sections. ,.,>$- :s..


 Pittsburg, Pa, March 1.--With every tributary of the Allegheny and Monon-, gahela rivers emptying swirling tor rents into the banks of these two streams and rushing down to the point where they converge to form the Ohio, Pittsburg was given a visitation to-day which forced hundreds of families to either abandon their homes or seek es- cape from the water in the upper stor- ies, while mud and water dispensed de- struction and discomfort below. Mills in the low lying levels throughout the county, numbering between fifty and sixty, were flooded, and 38,3T5 men are thrown idle for four or Hive days with @ loss in wages of more than $325.000.
 The flood was general throughout western Pennsylvania, the streams everywhere overhowing their banks and causing more or less damage to houses and farms that lay in their course. Downtown in Pittsburg eel lars and basements of business houses which are in the general flood belt were inundated, while in Allegheny two rail- roads were temporarily, paralyzed ow- ing to the water which covered their tracks.
 People in the First and Third wards of Allegheny had to adopt Venetian methods of going to and from their homes. Gondolas of the ordinary slSiff type were commoner than wheeled ve- hicles.
 Ample warning had been received by most of the residents and business firms threatend in time for them to make preparations to minimize losses.

 Required to Accomplish tho Little

 Washington, March 1.-The house of representatives held four hour session to-day and put the District of Colum- bia appropriation bill through it's last parliamentary stage in the face of the democratic filibuster. The previous question on the conference report on the Alaskan homestead bill was ordered and the vote on it's adoption will be taken when the house reconvenes at Il o'clock tomorrow morning. That was the net result of the Sunday session. Although it was Sunday by the. caleri- dar 1t was still Thursday, February 26, according to parliamentary fiction. The democrats put block in the legisla- tive wheel at every opportunity and it required six roll calls to accomplish what was done to-day. Large crowds watched the proceedings from the gal- leries. When Speaker Henderson drop ped she gavel at noon MT. Richardson, the minority leader, was on his feet. He announced that there was evidently no quorum present and that the house could not do business on Sunday with out quorum. Thereupon on motion of MT. Payne, the majority leader, a call of the house was ordered. The doors were closed and the sergeant at arms was instructed to bring in absentees. At the conclusion of the call, 241 mem- bers had appeared--nore than quo- rum-and MT McCleary of Minnesota called up the conference report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill. MT. Underwood os Alabama attempted to interpose the point of order that the call had not been completed but the speaker ruled that quorum having appeared business could proceed. The doors, which meantime had been open ed, however, were again closed by the direction of the speaker on MT Under- woods point of order that further pro- ceedings under this call had not been dispensed with by the action of the house. After brief explanation of the report, against the protests of various democrats who desired to be heard, it was adoo.ed-144 to 59.
 There was another roll call on order ing the previous question on the Alaska homestead bill, which was presented by MT. Lacey, rep, of Iowa. A half dozen points of order raised by the democrats were ruled out and the chair declined to entertain all appeals on the ground that they were dilatory.

FIRST SIGN OF REMORsE.
shown by Knapp on Visit vios,ms'
 Father.

Hamilton, Ohio, March 1.--Alfred Knapp exhibited to-day the first evil dences of regret at his crime Infested career since his arrest. It followed the visit, for the purpose of identification, of Herman Littleman, of Cincinnati. father of the victim of Knapp,s first murder in Cincinnati. MT. Littleman failed to recognize Knapp as any one he had ever seen before, and as he turned away Knapp expressed peni-. tenee for the crime, while tears stood in his eyes.
 Although convicted of minor offenses, Knapp was never charged with capital offenses until his brother-in-law last week started an investigation. With all the charges of incendiarism, rob- bery and other crimes, it is conceded that his predominant trait is that of brutality. Two of his terms in peniten- tiaries were for criminal assaults that were not followed by murders.
 The officers say he lured his victims to secluded spots before strangling them, and that his deliberation IS shown in his precaution to evade de-. tectives.
 Knapp does not use tobacco in any form and has not been known as a thinker. He is quite a reader and is kept supplied with magazines and books. but is not allowed to see news-l papers.
