APPLE QUESTION SOLVED.
Polk County Man Has Me hod Of Pro
serving Raw Fruit.

Des Moines, July 10.-While scient.
lists throughout the country, and espec.
tally in Iowa, are trying to discover
means whereby they may preserve
uncooked apples from one crop to the
next, Hon. G. w. Stewart, who lives
seven miles northwest OF the city, has
solved the mystery. Last season an
effort was made under the direction
of the State Agricultural college to
keep the apples in cold storage, but
they spoiled The test, however, was
not decided to be a decisive one and
another such effort is being made.
But without the use of ice or Other
artificial means the Polk county far
mer has discovered the long sought
for method of preservation and will
be eating last years apples while he
is picking this years crop.
On the dining room table at Mr..
Stewards home is large dish of the
well preserved apples every day and
some have been sent to friends in this
city. They are the Ben Davis varie-
ty and are as solid and rosy skinned
as when plucked from the twig Of
their mother tree last fall. They give
out remarkable aroma, which PSF
meates the atmosphere of the entire
home, and their flavor is delicious.
The apples were preserved in an
earthen cave. Not few of them as
an experiment, but barrel after bar
rel. 1t is not a few which remain
intact, but all Of them. Mr.. Stewart
had a good crop last fall and placed
them in the cave which he has had for
several years, but had never before
considered a good store room for ap-
pies. This cave which preserved the
fruit Is dug six feet deep in the ground
and the sides walled up with bricK.
A roof is placed over this and that
covered with great amount OF earth.
This was originally built for a cyclone
cellar and has been used as store
house for potatoes, vegetables and
even milk has been kept sweet there.
Mr. Stewart has forty apple trees
and last fall decided to try storing
his crop, which was large.
The fruit is now coming out in ex-
cellent shape. There is not spot on
it and some which had previously
been affected with bugs remain in the
same condition as when picked. They
have decayed none whatever There
is now no symptom Of their spelling
and the supply being large the far
mer will have apples to eat during the
coming season of ripening. This win
ter he will repeat the experiment.
Fruit last fall was in exceptionally
god condition, as the heavy rains did
away with the worms which generally
hinder it's progress. Such will also
be the case this year and it is expect
ed the crop will, be as good as has
been averaged in this state during the
past years. -

CHINESE HOLD A CONFERENCE
Russian Minister Of War is Present
At Port Arthur

Kin Chau Opposite New Chwang.
Manchuria), July 9.-All the promi-
nent officials in China, Manchuria and
Korea are attending the conference
at Port Arthur. Among them are
Minister of War Kuropatkin. Admir-
al Alexieff. the Russian ministers at
Pekin and Seoul. the political agents

representative at Pekin; General De

civil and military officers at Mukden.

tor Of New Chwang. The proceedings
at the conference are enveloped in
profound secrecy. II is supposed the
Russian officials are considering war
questions. The foreign commercial
officials at New Chvang and Port
Arthur believe that the possibility Ct
war is increasing steadily. The Rus
sian policy is believed to hold the
present positions In Manchuria, in
GLIDING New Chwang. and to take
no steps to avert hostilities with
Japan. II it is assured that Japan
will fight unaided. The war feeling
among the Japanese in North China
is intensifying.
The Russian civil administrators
with the governor general of New
Chwang has commenced the erection
of government building designed to
hold all Russian officers, including
the telegraph and telephone depart
ments, partly on land ceded by the
Chinese, according to the Russian ex-
PLANTATION, and partly on the public
square, about which the foreign con-
sulates are congregated. The dele.
gates of other nationalities are pre-.
pairing to protest against this en-
croachment on the public square.
A Russian company has just com.
pleted the purchase of the river steam
tug business heretofore controlled by
a British company. This is regarded
as an important step towards Russia
gaining control of the harbor, as the
new company is apparently acting in
behalf of the Russian government.

HISTORY OF ILLNESS.
Statement Published In Defense OF
Doctors of the Pope.

Rome, July 9.-The newspapers
publish history of the pope's illness,
evidently inspired by Doctors Lapponi
and Mazzoni, who wish to defend
themselves from the attacks on their
diagnosis Of the case, but 1t is inter-
esting as the first document giving
exact data from medical point Of
view. The account runs as follows:
ION the morning of Tuesday, June
80, Pope Leo went tor drive in the
vatican gardens. On returning he de-
clared that he had greatly benefited
by the fresh air, and wished to repeat
the drive. The pope said he felt no
need of a medical visit and informed
DR.. Lapponi not to go and see him.
During the night of Wednesday,
July /, Pope Leo complained of intes-
final disturbances, which he attribu-
ted to constipation. Notwithstanding
he went into the vatican gardens and
returned to his apartment, again feel
ing benefited from his drive.
"On Thursday he declared he felt
well, but DR.. Lapponi wishing to know
personally the nature of the distur-
bance complained of, spent the night
at the vatican. During the night the
pope was sleepless and restless.
"On Friday, DIR. Lapponi examined
the pope and found pulmonary infiam-
nation in the right of the thorax be-
tween the inferior and middle lobes.
He informed Cardinal Rampolla and
began the treatment which he thought
right on Saturday. During the day
the Inflammation spread. DIR. Lap
poni, worried, desired to have Pope
Leo seen by DIR. Mazzoni, who since
the operation in 1899, has visited the
pontiff occasionally, replacing DIR.
Lapponi during his illness with APP
pendicitis.
"On Sundey, DIR. Mazzoni went to
the vatican and examined the pa
tent with DIR. Lapponi, confirmed the
latter's diagnosis, viz: an inflamma-
tory process in the lung. which was
defined in the medical bulletin as pull
monary Repatriation. The original
treatment was continued, consisting
of supporting the strength of the
heart and general condition Of the pa.
tient.
"No noticeable change was observ-
ed until Monday evening. II was found
that the lowest part Of the right
thorax, which previously was pervious
TO respiration, had become impervi-
GUS, affecting the function OF the lung.
The presence Of liquid was suspected.
The pontiff spent an agitated and
sleepless night.
"On Tuesday many symptoms con-
firmed the presence of the liquid. Its
increase was considered to account for
the pope's general condition growing
worse. After a test puncture, eight
hundred grammes of bloody liquid
was extracted. The condition Of the
patient improved Immediately. The
amelioration In the condition Of the
patient was not continued during
Tuesday. Indeed. depression gained
the unuer hand"

THE POPE STILL LIVES.
Remarkable Vitality Holds Out
AGAINST Disease.

Wv
Against Disease.
Rome, July 13.-Pope Leo has lived
to see another Sunday. The Sabbath
quiet which fell upon Rome came also
peace and even progress to the pontiff.
Beginning yesterday morning with dis
tinct signs of Improvement, he main
tained this throughout the day. To
night DR.. Lapponi made the following
important statement in answer to the
question If he believed that the i'm
provement in the pope's condition
could continue: Il believe that If the
improvement lasts until July 81, We
may not perhaps achieve an absolute
cure, but we will secure such a general
state of health in the patient as will
allay our anxiety"
DuriAs the morning the pontiff par
ticipa.ed in the celebration Of mass.
The ceremony was held in the chapel
adjoining the sick chamber, Mgr. Mar
zoni being the celebrant. The door
connecting the sick room with the
chapel was opened so that his holiness
might follow the service. He insisted
that DR.. Lapponi and his valet Contra
should leave his side and enter the
chapel in order to better hear the
mass.
DR.. Mazzoni was also absent from
the pope's side, which in itself gave
the clearest evidence that the doctors
themselves were relieved of immediate
apprehension. DR.. Rossoni has been
taken sick with fever, and was pre-
vented from visiting the pope, as he
intended.
During the afternoon the pope felt
strong enough TO get up. He rose,
dressed himself alone in white, and
went to sit in his usual armchair,
where he remained for some time
Then the windows were opened for a
change of air, the sun streaming in, to-
gether with light, refreshing breeze
from the Mediterranean. Later in the
afternoon he received Cardinals Ma
thieu, Steinhuber, Agliardi and Casali
The pope showed his usual brightness
and lucidity of mind, and spoke to each
without showing any perceptible IA
tigue. To Cardinal Matthew his holt
ness said: II have not ceased for one
moment to pray God to protect France
and have the men now governing her
repent and stop the persecution of the
church"

BUssE DEFENSE DISCLOSED
Reasons Why Murder Should Escape
Hanging.

Des Moines, July 9.-The argument
of the attorneys for Louis Busse, un.
der conviction of murder and SEN
enced to death in Bremen county, for
the killing of his wife, was filed yes
terday, and the line Of defense was
disclosed. The chief reason for ask
ing a new trial will be that it is claim
ed Busse was struck by his wife ever
the head with chair as he came
home drunk and that because of this
he was greatly angcred and killed her,
and 1t was not by generalization or
malice, which must be present If the
death penalty is to be inflicted. Com
plant is made that the evidence in
regard to Busse being drunk was ex-
cluded, and the alleged confession he
made was not introduced but only
what some persons said in regard to
the confession. 1t is evident that a
hard fight is to be made to get new
trial for Busse.

KIsHINEv PETITION FIRST.
President Decides That the Manehur
ian Question Must Wait. :

Washington, July 10.-The president
has decided that the matter Of the jew
ish petition must be finally disposed OF
before any further effort is made here
to compose the issues arising out of the
Manchurian situation. Therefore, 1t Is
now said that nothing is likely to be
done in regard to Manchuria until next
Sept, by which time, according tc
the last Russian engagement, the evac-
uation of Manchuria by Russian troops,
save the railroad guards, should be
complete. 1t is understood that the
Russian government has set up as one
reason for not sanctioning the opening
of new ports in Manchuria, the neces-
sity of allowing her first to complete
the evacuation Of Manchuria, and al
though the reasoning is rather obscure
on that point, il is understood that our
government is willing to wait until
September before making the next
move.
