HOW DO THEY sTAND7
Council Should Be Elected That
Would Attend to This Matter.

In formulating platform for the city
ticket 1t appears that an important mat
ter has been overlooked. This was
probably not an intentional neglect, and
1t is believed that every candidate nom
mated at the citizens convention will
favor the move. The matter referred to-
Is the bringing into tile city limits tbe
tracts of improved town lots east of
Railroad avenue and south Of Military
avenue. There is a strong sentiment
which seems to be almost universal for
makingthis step. The candidates placed
In nomination should have been called
upon to 60 on record in the convention
regarding this matter. AssIated before,
1t was probably nothing but an oversight.

CARDINAL OREGLIA's PLANS.
What Will He Done by the Only Au-
thority When Leo Dies.


PARIS, July a0.-The correspondent Of the
Eclair at Rome has had long conversation
with Marquis Sacchiti, grand marshal of
the papal court, who repeated to him the
following declaration made by Cardinal
Oreglia, who will take over the administra-
ton of pontifical affairs during the inter-
regnum to the officials OF the Vatican
~ shall, alas, be the only living authority,
and / count on the devotion of the clergy
and the military, and L shall expect 1T to be
absolutely blind. For the soldiers there is a
prison, and / shall use it, Arrangements
have been made with the Italian police, and
1 know the garrison of Rome will do its
duty outside. Let us do ours inside.
Il intend to revive the proper TRADITIONS,
taking as model the former conclaves-
Not that the death of Pope Leo will be an
nounced from the loggia of st. Peters to
the people of the world, nor will 1t be made
known in a hole-in-the-corner fashion in
side. The funeral will be celebrated in &C
cordance with authentic bulls. / intend,
under the guard of the pontifical army, to
revive the lying in state of the body In the
Sistine chapel, which function was sup
pressed on the last occasion. Every morn
1 shall punish the slightest assumption of
authority outside the execution OF my or
ders. Accustom yourselves, gentlemen, not
to consider me as an old priest, but as your
head, calm and absolute above all and with
out other control than that of my con-
science"
The Sacred College has decided that the
seclusion of the cardinals during the con-
clave shall be carried out with the strictest
formalities. 1t will even be impossible for
the cardinals to look out of the windows,
and the Vatican guards will watch the COM
ing and going of every one Cardinal Greg
liza has ordered all the telephones in the
Vatican to be removed before the conclave
begins.

TRIBUTE FROM A RUSSIAN.
PrOcurator OF the Holy synod Says
All Respect to the Pope.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 1S.-M. Pobyde-
nostef, procurator of the Holy Synod, said
to-day: Pope Leo Mi has many admirers
in the political world to-day, not only on
account of his position, but equally because
of his character The Emperor greatly de-
sired to meet Leo last spring. but his visit
to Rome was deferred. Leo numbers among
his lifelong cdniirers the Grand Duke
Serge Alexandrovich, the Enperor's uncle
who first called upon the Pope when
small boy with his tutor. He sent to the
Pope a token of his esteem upon the oc-
casion of the latter's jubilee. The relations
between the Russian government and the
Roman curia have been better under Leo
XIII than ever before and are now entire
ly normal, l understand, for you know the
ministry of the interior and the Foreign Of
nee alone are concerned, the ministry of
the interior having entire Jurisdiction over
foreign religious bodies in Russia. While
we all, respect the Pope and the great
church whose head he is, we cannot take
into consideration a union with the Roman
Catholic Church of which Leo KILL like
many OF his predecessors, hoped and
dreamed"
The procurator of the Holy Synod is
ageing, but is alert both mentally and phys
ically. He still maintains complete grasp
of the affairs OF the orthodox Greek Church
with its multitudinous relations TO politics
and life in Russia. The department of
terror confirms the statement that the re-
lations with the Roman Church under the
present Pope have been more satisfactory
than previously. Cardinal Rampolla, who
was mainly Instrumental in establishing the
Russian diplomatic mission at the Vati-
can. enjoys special favor at the depart
ment. where it is believed his election
would mean a continuance Of the present
good relations.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY.
President Roosevelt Sends a Message
to Cardinal RampOlla.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Acting Secre-
tary of State Loomis yesterday sent the
following cable to Cardinal Rampolla. at
Rome:
1.-The President directs me to convey
through you appropriate expressions of his
sincere sympathy with his Holiness in this
hour of supreme suspense and to request
that he be advised of the condition of the
venerable sufferer
Tonight reply was received to the mes
sage sent to Cardinal Rampolla- 1t was
signed by Cardinal Gibbons:
81 beg of you to present in his Holinesss
name to his Excellency, the President, the
warmest and most sincere thanks for his
sympathy towards his Holiness in this hour
Of dreadful suspense, and l am very sorry
to advise you that, unfortunately, the con-
dition of the august sufferer is becoming
very critical"
ROME, July 19.-President Roosevelts
telegram expressing the Presidents SYM
pathy for his Holiness in this hour of SUI
preme anxiety and asking to be informed
of the condition of the venerable patient
has been received. The Vatican authorities
are deeply appreciative of this expression
of the American President, and recall the
cordial personal exchanges between the
President and the Pope when the volumes
of presidential messages and papal encycli-
calls were exchanged. Cardinal Rampolla
sent an answer to the message, which con-
tanned the thanks of the Vatican authori-
ties for the solicitude of the President and
also the latest information concerning the
condition OF the Pope.

CuriOsities of the Bank of England.

When the Bank of England commenced
business in 1884. with a staff of fifty-four
clerks, all of whom worked in a single
room and the directors with them, no one
imagined that 1t would develop into the
great national institution it is to-day. And
its career, extending over two centuries
has brought it In touch with a wealth of
romance, relics of which may be found in
that department of the bank with which
the public is least familar-namely, its mu-
scum
How many people know that the bank
once issued note for a penny ?-although
il should be explained that this was entire
ly due to an error. But the penny note
went into circulation all the same, and only
o e # again the
into the hands Of the curio collector. This
note is still preserved in one of the albums
and in another are some of the curious
notes which saved the bank in 1745. In
that year great run on the funds took
place-so great, in fact. that it was thought
that the bank would be unable to meet it,
but the directors in the nick of time sent
number of their clerks into the crowd
to present notes which We're paid in six
pences. thus giving the officials time to pre-
pare for the demand for specie.
Another curiosity is note for IS, 900, 900,
which is the only one of that value ever
printed; while there is also a note which
was in circulation for nearly $50 years be-
fore it was presented.
Specimens of all the forged notes which
have been uttered from time to time by
the INSCRIPTIONS are kept, and their value
aggregates several million pounds, while
notes brought from the wreck of the Euryd-
ice and one taken from the stomach of an
enormous Goldfish captured off the coast
of Greenland are among the banks most
valued treasures.
There are hundreds of specimens of Curl
Gus coins which have been returned to the
bank from all parts of the world, or found
in the testing machine. This machine by
the way. tests $1,000 sovereigns a day and
automatically rejects any which have be-
come light.
The museum library contains all the old
ledgers which have been used by the bank
since 1t was first opened, and they number
70, 900, while another set of volumes gives a
record of every member of the staff who
has ever served at the bank. There are
also 10000 volumes of all kinds for the use
of the staff, some of which are SO rare tina
the same number of sovereigns would not
purchase the collection.
The bank has its own churchyard ad-
Joining, and here many of the officials have
in former times. been buried. In one cor
ner is the grave of clerk who stood eight
feet two inches in his socks.
