Prominent New York Hebrews
Say There Is That Number
In the United States.

New York, May 20.--According to prom
inent Hebrews of this city there are fully
five thousand paid spies of the Russian
government in the United States. II is
said that everything having the least in

Is said or done in the United States is
transmitted as rapidly as possible by
this army OF spies
They are especially anxious, II is said.
to get letters written by prosecuted Rus
SLAMS to relatives and friends in this
country in order that they may sent back
to the central government utterances
which may be used as justification for
further prosecution. knowledge of this
fact, IL is said. is what makes the Heb
rews on this side so careful not TO give
vertabim extracts from any foreign let
ters in regard to the massacres in Kish-
ineff and elsewhere.

says: In appearance the Pope is a
very old man. His thin and angular fea-
lures, his alabaster complexion, the trem-
bling of his hands, his bowed form, the
almost diaphanous aspect of his entire
figure would mark him as a man on the
threshold of extreme old age. But when
he speaks and becomes animated this
| impression Immediately yanishes and one
feels that there is beneath this fragile
envelope a powerful life and that the
blade is infinitely superior to the sheath
that covers it. His voice. especially
when he speaks in public, has retained
its ring, slightly nasal, by the way, and
his eyes have lost none of their fire. Oh,
the eyes of Leo XIII! When one has
seen them they can never be forgotten.
One would think they were two black
diamonds so brilliant are they. They
give an extraordinary vivacity to his ex
preston and there is something mex
pressibly piercing in their regard
Some of His Labors.
In Germany Pope Leo found the Catil-
olics oppressed, and he addressed himself
to the removal or modification of their
grievances. For a long time correspon-
dence was carried on between the Vat
lean and German government, and finally
in 1886 the Falk laws, of which Catholics
complained SO deply, were virtually abol-
ished.
He succeeded in obtaining fuller rights
for Catholics in Russia and in the do
minions of the Sultan, and he healed a
schism which had broken out in Asia
Minor With Catholic France he was
less successful, an ne was unable to
prevent the slppri sion of religious So
cieties in that col ltry. He remained
however, on moderately friendly terms
with the successive governments of the
republic.
In Switzerland he put an end to
body of laws which had existed for fi-
teen years and had borne heavily on the

PLAN OF ELEcTING A POPE.
Cardinals Will Vote Behind Locked
Doors for Leo's Surcessor

VIII vote behinU Locked
Doors for Leo's Successor
On the tenth or at latest the twelfth
day after the death of the Pope the con
elave will assemble for the election of
new pontiff. If precedent is followed
1t VIII be held at the beautiful Sistine
chapel within the walls of the Vatican
On the day fixed for the conclave the
cardinals will hear special mass of the
holy spirit, take oaths of faithfulness and
secrecy and then march to the chapel
with a secretary and attendant for each.
once in the chapel the cardinals will be
smut In by massive doors held by double
locks. Voting paper will be supplied
each cardinal and he will write his choice
on TINS, no one being allowed to vote for
himself. After each cardinal has advanc-
ed to the high altar, prayed, announced
that he has voted according to his con
science and deposited his ballot in the
chance six scrutineers examine the bal
lots and announce the result.
Great interest is now conferred in the
work OF the holy conclave which is to Sc
lect the successor to Leo XIII. Specu-
latlons, prophecies and predictions come
from every direction in favor of the vari-
Gus candidates. The comparatively long
illness of Leo had the effect of narrow
ing the chances Of some who entered the
contest with what was thought to be
the brightest prospects, while it brought
INTO prominence others who at first were
hardly considered.

Milwnnkee Beat. Chicnro.

Milwaukee maintains its lead of Chi
cago as a marine commercial center. This
fact is shown by the figures given ont by
the custom house author ties for the
months from January TO May, 1902 and
1908. The phenomenal increase in the
tonnage of the Milwaukee port is attrib-
uted to the increase in the amount of
coal which was received in Milwaukee
this year over that received last year.
The scarcity of coal made difference in
the tonnage of 100000 tons. The fact
that in Chicago there is some difficulty
in crossing the Washington and LaSalle
street tunnels is also pointed to as sig
nifeant in the falling off of the Chicago
tonnage. The tonnage of Milwaukee
harbor between January and May, 1902,
was 2,407,17S while during the last sew
eral months it has been 3,131, 200.

Pope Leo XIII. was one of the great

Undoubtedly his name deserves to

Never was supreme pontiff loved by
his people, never did supreme pontiff

He was a great and good man, and his
