 Pope Leo.
 New York, July 2S.-The first great ser vice for the repose of the soul of Pope Leo XIII was celebrated at St. Patrick's s Cathedral tonight. It was the chanting of the office for the dead. The decora- tions of the vast edif1ce heightened the effect of the cermony. Bands of mourn ing, edged with purple. encircled the mas sive white pillars and the marble pulpit. The great catafalque rose fifteen feet high at the gates of the sanctuary, it's sides and ends bearing the papal coat of arms in blue and white. Surmounting it was the triple crown in white and gold resting on a crimson cushion, while three great candies, ten feet high, glimmered at each side.
 The church was crowded to the doors with a throng that began assembling in the afternoon. More than a hundred priests and seminaries awaited in the ves- try and then filed out to the sanctuary with no accompaniment of music. Arch bishop Farley was accompanied by Bish- op-elect Cotton of Buffalo and Mgr. Ed wards Before him marched the Domin- jeans in their robes of white and the Franciscans in brown.

BRITISH FISCAL POLICY.

Chamberlains Opponents Say He is
 Shifting Ground.
 London, July 2s-It is stated that arr engagements have been made to call a spe- cial meeting of the cabinet for the end of September, by which time 1t is antici- pated that the ministers Investigations of the fiscal problem will have been com pleted and the cabinet will be in a posi- tion to reach definite decision on Colo nfal Secretary Chamberlain's proposals.
 Premier Balfour will address the Na- tional Conservative Union, Oct. 1. and he is expected to announce the governments policy on that occasion.
 MT. Chamberlain's opponents claim, as result of the reception given to his pro- posals by Parliament and the country, that he is already shifting his ground They point to inspired articles in the press, and the conduct of the campaign of leaflets at Birmingham as showing the tendency of Mir. Chamberlain to abandon the policy of solely taxing food and sub stituting modified duties on foreign food and man9factures, the revenue from which. instead of being devoted to old age pensions. would be applied to reliev- ing and removing the taxes on sugar and tobacco.

KoPP's NAME SUGGESTED.
Anti-Rampolla Faction May Support
 Q Foreigner.

GOIelBHSTs
 Rome, July 2s.-The Tribuna says that as the fisherman's ring, which coul1 not be found after the death of the Pope may be discovered In some drawer which was sealed up end cannot be opened until af- ter the election of the new Pope, the cam erlengo, Cardinal Oreglia, has ordered a new one for use in the symbolic ceremony which occurs immediately after the suc- cessor of Leo XIII is chosen.
 The nlember of the noble guard who was overcome during the requiem mass in the Sistine Chapel this morning while on duty beside the catafalquef was Count Stampa, who few days ago, was placed under arrest for feigning illness. Today he had slight attack of syncope.
 It is officially announced that addition to the will of the late Pope and separate from it Leo XIII left trifiing present to each of a long list of relatives. members of the papal household, prelates, doctors, cardinals, etc As many formalities have to be observed it probably will be some time before the gifts are delivered.
 That there is a conviction at the Vati- can that the conclave will be of short duration is proved by the fact that all those who are to enter the conclave to minister to the wants of the cardinals have been engaged for three days
 Tn two camps into which the sacred col- lege is divided appear to be becoming daily more irreconciliable and 1t Is said that the anti-Rampolla faction has de- clared that, if necessary to defeat the op- position they will even go to the length of supporting foreign cardinal. The name of Cardinal Kopp, Bishop of Bres- lau, was mentioned in this connection. but was hardly considered seriously owing to the belief that under present condi- tions the elevation of a German to the papacy might mean the irreparable loss of France to the Holy See.

WHITES BLACK BRIDE
TROOPER MELTON RETURNS
 WITH A sULU WIFE.
Groom Served With Pershine and .s Welded the Daughter of Datss Pang Chula Nam, Who
 Has Much Money.

Washington. July 2s.-(Special. IA white soldier with a black bride has ar rived from the Philippines. The groom is Edward H. Fry Melton of Summers. Va. who went to the Philippines in 1899 and served in the famous Pershing expe- ditlon. The oriental coon who Is the bride is the daughter of a Sulu Datto, Pang Chula Nam. Mrs. Melton's Malay maiden name breathes the poetry of the dawn of civilization in the tropic orient. 1t was Moonia Loo Lai, otherwise Dew Upon-The-Leaf.
 Her father was one of the first of the Sulus to make friends with the aggres- sive troopers of Captain Pershing and displayed to the long home-rldden sol diers when they had accepted an invita- ton to the chieftain's abode, the vision of several voluptuous wives and sixteen lus- cious daughters. Immediately romance began to run riot. So far two other couples have sealed the tenderest bonds of benevolent assimilation and the pacif- cation of other Sulus is proceeding hrave- ly.
 Young Melton and his wife will spend two months in Virginia and then back to their island home near the equator, where a sumptuous barbaric residence and lord ship over mary cattle and much fat land await them, the gift of the Sulu.

 Others were taken into custody in con- nectfon with incipient efforts to start de- contrations when the officials left the church.
 As one of the men arrested passed the church doors he shouted:
 Death to the Pope
 A crowd of countermanifestants follow ed the police, shouting their intention to throw the would-be disturber of the peace into the river. but he was safely lodged in jail.
