PoPE's CONDITION SERIOUS.
suspends His Audiences on Advice of
 Dr. Lapponi. ,&'

Dr. Lapponi
 Rome, March 1.-The alarrnists are again at the fore this evening and de- clare that Pope Leo is really i'll. They point to the official note in to-night's Observatore Romano. the vatican or gan, stating that on the advice of his doctor, the pope has decided to take several days absolute rest. The truth is that the pope never succeeded in getting rid of the cold which caused a slight cough and hoarseness., Dr. Lap poni on visiting him to-day found that he was somewhat better but frankly told him that he must either consent to cure his cold or he would run the risk of something serious. The pontiff thereupon gave way and promised to suspend his audiences. To save arl- noyance, pr. Lapponi advised the pope to publicly announce this determination through the Observatore Romano. The condition of the pope, taking into con- sideration his advanced age, is not without danger and is causing consid- erable anxiety. So much. so, it is as- serted, that some cardinals who have come to Rome from distance have postponed their departure. @'N

NO STRIKE ON WABASH YET
EVERYTHING NOV DEPENDS ON
 THE INJUNCTION.
Labor Leaders to Attempt to Dissolve 1t -Prosident Ramsay Declares He Can
 Get Plenty of Men to Tnke Strikers Places in All Departmonts-Issues n

St. Louis, March 4.-Everything now hinges on the injunction which the la bor leaders will attempt to have dis solved, and until this shall be done away with, there can be no strike, for they have agreed to obey the courts order. E. T. Irwin Of Peoria and E. V. Penney of Cleveland, attorneys for the trainmen, spent the day in confer ence with P. H. Morrissey and S. W. Arnold and other union leaders. exam ming the injunction and preparing an answer that will be presented in court probably tomorrow to secure a disso- lution of the restraining order.
 President Ramsey said: Everything has been running smoothly and there are no indications that our men have gone out or will go so soon. have not seen any members of the grievance committee to-day and know nothing of what is transpiring at their headquar- ters"
 Asked as to what effect a sympathetic
  900 of whom Grand Master Wilkins says, are ready to support the train men and f1remen if they shall go out, President Ramsey said:
 Tt would have very little effect on the situation. In case of strike we could get all the men we should need to take the places of strikers in all de- partments.'
 The following statement was issued to-day by President Ramsey, addressed to employees os the Wabash railroad company and others interested, ex- 'plaining his position in the present crisis:
 ITO the Employees of the Wabash Railroad Company and Others Inter- ested:
 '"The crisis now existing on the Wa bash lines is a very grave one, not on- ly to the Wabash company and it's en- ployes and to other railway companies and their employees, but also to the commercial and industrial interests of the country, as a strike on the Wabash would, in all probability, spread to a large number of other roads and would involve not only all organizations of railroad employees but other labor or ganizations and the result might be so serious that the great anthracite coal strike would dwindle into insignificance. Therefore, I deem it wise to keep the employees all over the system and the public correctly ad- vised of the exact facts regarding the matters at issue. For this reason I

BREAK IN COTTON MARKET.
Avalanche of Selling Orders Brings
 Great Excitement.

New York, March 4.--An avalanche of selling orders swept over the cotton market to-day, and amidst great ex- citement prices broke with such vio- lence that for a time panicky condi- tions were feared. The bull clique un- der their leader were steady and heavy buyers, however, and their support checked the tendency toward extreme demoralization. The market closed highly excited at from Il to 34 points below last nights closing.
 March and May options opened at declines of 10 points, selling at 10.17 ana 9!99, respectively, as against 1017 and 10.19 yesterday at the close, and the high record price of 1925 and 1O17 early yesterday. The bull leader bought wall iantly and rallied the market to 1915 for March and 10.O4 for May. He took more than 25000 bales, but a flood of offerings in thousand and five thousand bale lots poured in upon him. All sorts of reports became current, and as the selling pressure increased prices made violent plunges downward five points at a time. The climax came at the end of the noon hour, when the avalanche of selling orders from all directions ap- peared. The May option made a run ming break to 9.8S, level of 21 points, or over dollar bale, from last nights closing, and the March option dropped with even greater violence from 1917 to 9.9s. The July option fell from 9.S1 to 9.6S.
 As prices crumbled away many stop loss orders held by brokers on custom CTS accounts were reached, and their execution and the bear raid made the low prices.
 It was estimated that the bulls were compelled to take more than 100000 bales in support of the market. The total transactions up to the close were estimated at nearly 100000 bales.

END OF THE 67FH CONGRESS
CLOSING SCENES IN THE HOUSE
 AND SENATE.
Speaker Henderson Fails to Receive Unanimous Thanks Owing to Bitter Partisan Feeling-His Farewell Ad- drsss to the II0use-President RoOse- welt Sends Letter of COngratuiatf0n.


 Washington, March 1.-The Fifty-sev- enth congress expired at noon to-day by limitation. Tn many respects the closing scenes were similar to those at the end of every congress. Every four years, however, there is an inaugura- tion which materially changes the pro- ceedings in the senate but the expiration of a congress in the house is very much the same each time. But there has not been in many years such a demonstration in the house as occurred to-day owing to the fact that Speaker Henderson was retiring not only as pre- siding officer but from the house as member. The bitter partisan feeling that has sprung up in the house of representatives during the past week reached pitch which prevented the speaker from receiving the unanimous approval of the house when the usual resolution of thanks and courtesy was offered. More than this, the resolution had to come from the republican side and while this has occurred before, it is not the usual custom. The usual resolution of thanks to President Pro Tenn Frye was unanimously adopted in the senate.
 Two years ago when the Fifty-sixth congress expired it was remarkable not only for the second inauguration of William Mckinley, but also because Senator Carter of Montana talked the river and harbor bill to death which occupied the time of the senate up to within a few minutes of the end. To- day Senator Mason of Illinois, whose term expired at noon, talked an unim- portant bill to death, but in his vale dictory he lectured the senate for it's rules allowing unlimited debate which permits bills to be killed in that man. ner. He also made final plea for the freedom of the Filipinos.
 As all of the complete supply bills had passed before the two houses took a recess this morning no legislation was necessary and none was attempted. The bills which had passed and reached the stage of enrollment were all signed by President Roosevelt who, with mem bers of his cabinet, occupied the presi- dents room in the senate wing of the capitol. This biennial visit of the pres ident to the capitol is one of the fea- lures of a closing congress.

 Washington, March 1.-The action of congress in striking out in conference an item appropriating $50,000 to defray the expenses of the high joint commis- sion, while regretted at the state de- partment, will not be allowed to pre- vent the reassembling of the commits sion next summer. The president, it is held, is not obliged to look to congress for authority to appoint commissioners to conduct negotiations for which he himself must assume ultimate respon- sibility. The action of congress, there- fore, does not affect the official status of the United States commissioners headed by Senator Fairbanks.
