He. Fayors RampoIla.

The tenacity of Pope Leo is most ad-
 nfrable. not only In his organism but even In his feeling. The best example thereof. perhaps. is the continual proofs of confidence that His Holiness bestows on Cardinal Rampolla. who after faith fully serving the Pope for sixteen years Is made the object of most bitter attacks. especially during the last period. because of the Francophile attitude of the papcy. The pontiff seems to have an Intuition that while he lies with one foot in the grave Cardinal Rampolla's adversaries are beginning to take advantage of his tottering power to pull down the idol. which. until yesterday. they worshipped. So His Holiness leaves nothing unat- tempted to show the world up to the last moment how much he trusts his Secretary of State. No one was admitted to the sick room today except the Cardinal Sec retary of State who was allowed in only on the repeated request of Pope Leo, who said to him that he desired to confirm and to extend the power to His Eminence already exercised because of his position and authorized him to take measures. which, in ordinary times. would compel the direct intervention of the pontiff, .in recognition of his personal devotion to the church."
 The Pope was much pleased when Car dinal Rampolla informd him of the uni versal manifestation of sympathy towards His Holiness coming from all, even from non-Cathclics

Wants Big Damaees.

New York. July 16-A petition has been received by a local judge. says Buenos Ayres, Argentina, dispatch to The Her aid. requesting on the part of Monte video court, the seizure of the funds and properties of a New York life insurance company to pay $1, 20 900 damages award ed to Cassimero Castro. The local judge has issued a bankrupt decree against the company and has appointed a receiver for its properties. The seizure of properties has been postponed, however, under an arrangement with counsel for the re- ceiVer.
 The Uruguayan authorities are consid- ering United States Minister Finch's communication requesting a revision of the court decision in the suit which was brought by Castro because the company s lawyer prosecuted him on the charge of insuring hopelessly i'll persons to collect the claims after death, and the accusa- tion was not proved.
 In its defense the insurance company alleges that It's lawyer was not author ized to proceed against Castro and that the attorney acted on his own responsi- bility.

DESIRES OF THE PRESIDENT Senator Lodge Gives Out Official Statement. $ CONGRESS- TO BE g. LED This is for tn Purpose of
 Financial Legislation. The Extra Session Will Meet Imme- diately After the Election and
 the, Cuban Treaty is Also
 to Be Considered.
CONGRESS- TO BE SLED

Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 1S.-President Roosevelt today expressed to Senator Lodge of Massachusetts his desire that early action on financial legislation of a remedial nature should be taken by Con- gress along the lines of his recent mes- sages and speeches. Indeed, it can be said he hopes that action will be begun at the next extra session of Congress which he will call on Monday, Nov. g.
 Senator Lodge arrived this morning and passed the day with the President at Sagamore Hill. He is a member of the Alaskan boundary commission, which is to begin its sessions in London early n September. Before sailing for England tomorrow he came to Oyster Bay to con- slider with the President, among other things, the work of the commission. He left this evening for New York.
 Before his departure, Senator Lodge gave to the Associated Press a statement concerning his conference with the President. In this statement the Presi- dents hopes regarding the financial legis- lation are reflected.
 we discussed" said Senator Lodge. "a variety of topics, including the work of the Alaskan Boundary Commission.
 Yes the Senator continued, in res- ponse to an inquiry whether he had dis cussed with President Roosevelt the pro- posed extra session of Congress, i've considered 1t at some length"
 You know, of course, that an extra session is to be called to meet on Mon- day, November 3, immediately following the elections. The session will be called primarily for the purpose of enacting legislation approving the Cuban treaty, which was ratified by the Senate last spring. The President hopes, however, as l do, that we shall be able to take up for early consideration financial legisla- tion along the lines of his messages and speeches since he became President. In this legislation the President takes the deepest interest"
 Did you discuss with the President any specific financial measure?"
 No, not at all. No specific bill was under considerat tion.-- The preparation of a measure of that kind Is the work of Congress itself. It was understood when the Senate adjourned last spring that the Committee on Finance would prepare a remedial financial measure during the recess The committee is now engaged on that work. I assume that the House Committee on Banking and Currency also will take up the subject, but I am not in- formed whether 1t Is the intention of that committee to begin the consideration of the subject before the extra session shall convene.
 "As I noted, the President is deeply in- terested in this proposed legislation and 1t is his hope and desire that early action may be taken by Congress to remedy existing financial conditions"

THEIR OBJECT.
What the Russian oMe:sls Were
 After

Washington. July 16.-It now develops that the meeting of Russian officials at Port Arthur just concluded was but one of the steps, though an important one. which the St. Petersburg Government had planned in expectation of it's purpose to place matters of internal administration in Manchuria in such condition that the ports desired by the United States and Japan could be opened to trade without causing disturbance or involving undue sacrifice of proper Russian interests. It already has been reported that much fric- tion that had grown out of the Manchu- rian question was caused by a sort of triple yet independent administration of affairs in Manchuria by representatives of the different branches of the Russian Government.
 The result was that one official would not feel bound by the pledges made by another; so that foreign nations com plained of bad faith It is understood that now following the Port Arthur con ference, compact and responsible direc- tion of affairs has been arranged for and orders issued from St Petersburg are cer- tain to meet with speedy and exact com pliance.
 Although no set time is mentioned in the promise to open the ports. it is be- lieved that this will follow soon after the Russian evacuation in September.

Imprisoned by Russians.

San Rafael, Cal. July 16.-George Me Camish, whose relatives live here, has written them from a Russian prison at Vladivostock, appealing for help. Mo- Camish and two Americans sailed from Yokohama with permission from the gov ernor to visit Japan to hunt fur animals in the Kurrie islands. They were caught in a gale and swept toward the Russian islands, where they eventually went ashore to get water and supplies. The Russians suspected them of sealing and imprisoned them. They have since re- mained in jail, half starved. shut off from any appeal to the representative of their government, doomed to long terms of im- prisonment. An effort has been made to have the authorities at Washington act in the matter.

 the Bishop said "of the wonderful organ izafion of the Methodist Church, but our wonderful system of theology has done
 more than even our great organization" |" He spoke of the bicentennary of John Wesley, and said:
 Let us let the spirit of those bicenten- nary uayS Drlng us cloSer together as members of one great family. There is
 a spirit abroad that calls on us, North and South, and demands that we lock shields and unite together against the common foe."

As to American Influence.

Paris. July 16.-A dispatch from Rome Is published here giving an interview with a monsignor who is a friend of the United States. He said that if number of car dinals favorable to Cardinal Gibbons had not died lately, the American cardinal would have had good chance of elec- ton. He. will have great influence at the conclave and the authority that Car dinal Gibbons will exercise will probably pave the way to a more just representa- ton of the United States in the sacred college which will bear fruit at the next conclave.
 Even now. asserted the monsignor, the Catholics of the republican United States will not permit a monarchial nation to intervene with her vote. American ideas will play a leading part from the very beginning of the coming conclave and 1t is sure that these ideas will have a most powerful influence on the future destinies of the church of Rome.

A DELEGATE QUESTION.
The Ownership of the Islands i
 Somewhat Doubtful.


 London, July 17.-According to The Daily Chronicle the action of America in annexlng the islands off Borneo raises an exceedingly delicate situation and the British Foreign office has asked Wash ington for an explanation.
 The islands concerned, says the paper, are a group of seven which originally be- longed to the Sultan of Sulu from whom they passed, by a charter in 1881, to the control of the British North Borneo Com pany, whose officers confirm that they are undoubtedly British territory.
 The American side of the question as given by the United States Embassy. says The Daily Chronicle, is that the islands are undoubtedly American by right of con- quest, having belonged to the Philippines and the Sultan of Sulu having confirmed and acknowledged American supremacy over them.
 The islands had never been occupied by any European nation and 1t is unknown whether Spain ever recognized the trad ing treaty which existed between the Borneo Company and the Inhabitants of the islands.

The Doctors Have Fears TL2s This
 Will Prove Fatal-Conferred Enlarged Autf -'+v on Rampolla.

Rome, July 17.-(2:25 a. m.J-The Pope s condition this morning is even less satis- factory than yesterday morning. and he was suffering from much uneasiness and difficulty in breathing until relieved to some extent by an injection of caffeine. A new crisis in the Pope's condition pre- sented itself yesterday when the doctors were confronted on the one hand with the apparently imperative necessity in the patients feeble condition might prove fatal. This dilemma was canvassed by Dr. Lapponi and Dr. Mazzoni throughout the day At their earlier conference there was some prospect that the operation might not occur and the doctors left the sick room without arriving at a definite determination as to when 1t would take place. They expressed the belief. how ever, that a delay until today would serve a useful purpose in permitting a larger extraction of serum in case the operation was undertaken.

Thanks to a fairly good afternoons sleep, the physicians were able to issue at 7:25 p. m. a bulletin showing that there had been no vital change in the normal progress of the dis ease though the same serious raptdity oi respiration as was noted in the morning had again to be recorded. So painful had the later become that one or those pres ent in the sick room described the pontifi as literally panting for his life's breath
 Later the Pope was sufficiently at ease to receive Cardinal Rampolla and His Holiness conferred on him the enlarged authority made necessary by the present illness for the executive administration oi papal affairs. It is understood that one result of this action will probably be the speedy appointment of a successor tc Monsignor Volponi as Secretary of the Consistorial Congregation.

Hay and cassini Dio rt.

Hay and Casstnt D1o It. Washington. July 16.-It Is now known that the Manchurian negotiations which have terminated so successfully today. so far as broad lines are concerned. for only details remain to be arranged. were practically brought to their present phase by Secretary Hay and Count Cassint, at a meeting at the Russian embassy on June 2S, the day before the Secretary Departed for Newport News, for the Ambassador then had in hand the necessary authorf- zation from his own Government to make the pledges which are now in process of redumption.
 The pledges were reduced to writing by Mir. Hansen, the Russian charge. during his call at the State Department today. It now remains for Mir. Conger to define In the trade treaty which he Is negotiat- ing with China. the terms and conditions under which the new ports are to be opened. It may be stated that had the United States Government cared to pur- sue a selfish policy in this matter 1t might easily have secured promises of spe- cial provisions from Russia, but Score tary Hay has held to the broader doc Urine of the open door in Manehuria for l the whole world. ss4
 Must Watch tlae Trade.
 Simultaneously with the promise to open up Manchuria to the worlds trade comes
 
 Labor from United States Consul Miller at Niu Chwang, which thus far Is the only open port in Manchuria, respecting the cotton goods trade of that province. He says that the great market for cot- ton goods in Manchuria Is attracting the earnest attention of Russian manufactur- CTS at Moscow. They are seeking to cap- true a good share of the $12.1sOO0O worth of cotton goods trade that annually comes through this port and offering most tempting inducements to merchants to go to Moscow to purchase their supplies. The Consul refers to q dispatch to the Minister at Picking In which the latter mentioned that a Russian agent had taken a number of merchants to Moscow to make a contract for the importation of drills initiating American products. The Consul reports the return of these merchants to Niu Chwang, because the drills were not quite up to the American standard in quality The completion of the Siberian Railway, the Consul says, has brought new fac tor in the great cotton goods trade of North China and American manufacture CTS must be alive to the situation and ad- just their business arrangements to meet these new conditions if they wish to hold their trade.
 The volunteer fleet, heavily subsidized by the Russian Government. is bringing Russian goods to North China at very low freight rates and these goods are being entered at Port Arthur and Dalny with out paying any customs duties; beside, the port charges for ships are nominal and there are no pilot charges American goods go first to Shanghai, where cus- toms duties and port charges, storage and handling are paid and are then reshipped to Niu Chwang, where freight. pilotage, port and handling charges are again paid. This fleet consists of fourteen steamers with a total tonnage of 3S.4S1 tons.
