PORTS WILL BE
OPENED TO TRADE
Advioes Say a Solution Has Been
Reached in the Manchurian
Matter.
China Promises to Open Two Treaty
Ports-Russia Withdraws
Objection.

Washington, July 16.-The Manchurian
question has been settled satisfactorily
to this government r Assurances nave
been received from the Chinese govern
ment that 1t will in the near future open
treaty ports now closed to the world
trade. The Russian government has con-
veyed formal assurance to the United
States that it will not in any way oppose
such opening.
While the ports to be opened are not
yet specified, it Is gathered from the COM
municatfons received that they are MONK
den, the principal inland port OF Man
churia, and Tatung Kao, at the mouth OF
the Yalu river.
The state department is highly graft
fed at this outccAne, feeling that 1t has
secured notonly for American commerce,
but for the commerce Of the world at
large a very substantial gain.
It now develops that the meeting OF the
Ruhsian officials at Port Arthur just
concluded was but one of the steps. tho
an important one, which the st. Peters
burg government had planned in execu-
tion of It's purpose to place matters OF In
ternal administration in Manchuria in
such condition that the ports desired by
the United States and Japan could be
opened to trade without causing disturb
ance or involving undue sacrifice of Rus
sian interests. N
Much of the friction was caused by a
sort of triple, yet independent admins
tration of affairs in Manchuria by repres-
entatives 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 complained Of bad faith.
It In understood that now, following the
Port Arthur conference a compact and
responsible direction of affairs has been
arranged and orders issued from st.
Petersburg are certain to meet with
speedy and exact compliance
Altho no set time Is mentioned In the
promise to open the ports. it is believed
that this will follow soon after the Rus
sian evacuation in September.

IMPRIS0NS AMERICANS
Geo. Mechanism Thrown Into Rus
sian Prison and Denied Right
of Appeal to Consul.

San Rafael, CAL, July 16.-George Nc
Camish has written from a Russian prison
at vlodivostok, appealing for help. Nc
Camish and two other Americans sailed
from Yokohama with permission from the
government of Japan to take fur animals.
They were caught in gale and swept
towards the Russian islands, where they
eventually went ashore to get water and
other supplies.
The Russian suspected them of sealing
and threw them into jail. There they
have since remained, half starved, shut
from any appeal to the representative OF
their government and doomed to long
terms Of imprisonment.
An effort will be made to have the au-
thorities at Washington act In the matter.

MAzzoNt ARAhDoNs HOPE
Science Can Only ProIong Pope's Exist

Rome, July 16.-Dr. Mazzoni, in reply
to the question, Can the pope recover"
last night gave the following signed state
ment:
"At the present moment the disease oS
his holiness has lost its character Of alb
solute gravity which it had at it's acute
period. It might be considered to have
entered a period of a possible solution.
This might occur in a man Of strong fiber
and young, but 1t Is impossible to enter
tain such q hope in the case Of a man
in his ninety fourth year. With him the
physical energy absolutely Indispensable
for recovery is lacking. Pope Leo's or
ganism is perfect and as such maintains
itself after ninety-three years of never
interrupted work, but his motor force il
no longer sufficient for the complex Juno
lions essential to life. In other words,
the ninety-three years Of Pope Leo XIII.
bring him into that category OF extraor-
binary longevity when life is destined to
flicker out, Independent OF the action OF
any pathological! complication. The only
service that science and affection can
| render is that Of struggling to have this
precious existence preserved to us as lons
as possible.

sumed a grave aspect. Besides the con-
tinuance of the pontiff's extreme weak
ness the doctors indicated the oninous
prospect of another operation for the re-
moval Of the pleuritic liquid. The pope
continued restless, but had several PEI
RODS Of comparative ease.
In one Of these he gave another evil
dence Of his remarkable vitality by taking
holy communion during the celebration Of
mass in honor of the Madonna Of the
Carmelites. The ceremony was held in
the chapel adjoining the sick room, the
doors being open. It was a pathetic
scene when by the pope's request those
participating, besides DR.. Lapponi and
Pho Contra, included number Of his
trusted domestics, sweepers and two por-
tiers.
The doctors are unable to announce
definitely when the next operation win
be performed. They fear it may become
necessary this evening, or tomorrow
morning, but they are determined to de-
fer it until it is imperative, fearing that
the enfeebled conditioo Of the patient may:
be taxed beyond the final limit.
Toward noon the pontiff dropped or
into an uneasy sleep.

POPE RECALLS PREMoNiTIoN
Tells His Valet, Pho Contra, His Task Il
Nearly Over.

Nearly over.
Rome, July 16-The fateful day Of tho
Carmelite madonna, on which Pope Leo
had a premonition he would die, has ar
rived. Early this morning his holiness
awoke and Immediately began repeating
prayers to the madonna, speaking with
such fervor that his valet, Contra, hur-
ried from an adjoining room. Pope Leo,
hearing Centra's voice, said:
All, Pho, your task is nearly DONE To-
day is the fete of the Carmelite madonna. =
Still later, with the same idea in mind,
the pope asked one OF his private secre
taries, Mmsignor Marzonlini, to say mass
in the chapel next to his bedroom, with
the door between the two apartments
open. In the middle of the mass Pope Leo
received the communion like one who real
