CANONZATIOX BY THE POPE
SIXTY THOUSAND PEOPLE PRES
EMIT IN ST. PETERS, ROME.
Ceremony Is Rare in Recent Times
Second Time Since 1870-Wondrous
Scene-The Pope in Full Pontificai
Costume Was Greeted With APP
plause-Americans Present.

Rome, Dec. 12.-In the presence OF
$4,000 people assembled in st. Peters,
Pope Plus X Sunday morning canon
lied Blessed Alessandre SAUL and
Blessed Gerardo Maiella, descendants
of whom, including Marquis and Am
brosio, SAUL and Negrotto, assisted in
the lamentations, a ceremony so rare
in recent times that this is only the
second time that it has been held since
1870.
The basilica was beautiful with cleo
trio lights, it's immense height showing
the illuminations to perfection. The
throne room had been erected behind
the high altar and chair of St Peter,
having device of rays of golu with
picture of the Trinity in the center. AL
together the throne took up a space OF
90x70 feet. Four banners hung under
the dome, showing the chief miracles
of the new saints.
The papal procession met in the Sis
tine chapel, entering the basilica by the
chapel of the holy sacrament. The
pope in full pontiicial costume, was
carried in the sedia gestatoria, with its
historic fans. His ROBUST figure and
handsome head showed thus to the
best advantage, and wnen he entered
the church it was impossible for the
authorities to repress entirely an out
burst of loyalty from the multitude,
which cried: Long live Pope Plus"
The scene was such as to evoke the
devotion of the beholder, everything
having been done to heighten the eff
feet, and the central figure in the cere-
monial presented a scene never to be
forgotten. His holiness was preceded,
surrounded and followed by guards OF
the court and high prelates. He look
ed pale, fatigued and less robust than
year ago, as though the triple crown
were bearing more heavily upon him.
The pope was thus escorted to the
throne, the cardinals, arcnbishops and
bishops forming a square about MIN.
The ceremony that followed was in
teresting in the extreme. Pope Plus
pontifcated, preserving calm, rever-
entail air to the end, although, as ne
confessed later, he was greatly IA
tigued.
After the ceremony the procession
was reformed amid murmurs of love
and loyalty. All the American prelates
now in Rome who assisted at the beat
ification on Thursday of the saints
canonized Sunday were present as was
also the faculty of the American col
Ilege at Rome.

ROOSEVELT WINS BY 2,54e, 1859.
His Vote is 100000 in Excess Of Nc
kinley's in 1900.
rhe New York Times says:

The New York Times says:
a canvass of the popular vote at the
last presidential election, complete, ex-
cept as to one county in Tennessee and
four counties in Michigan, for which
estimates are given, shows that Presi-
dent Roosevelt defeated Judge Parker
by 2,546,169. He polled the largest
vote ever given a presidential canoi-
date of the United States-7 $40, $50.
This is more than 100000 in excess OF
the vote cast for Mckinley in 1900.
The official figures for Missouri show
that Roosevelt carried that state by
rs, 500.
In Maryland one republican elector
received the largest vote, but his col
leagues were defeated. The democrats
of Maryland therefore will have seven
votes in the electoral college, while
the republicans will have only one.

Pretoria.-The funeral train bearing
the remains Oh the former president of

FRIENDS. YET BITTER FOES.
kuropatkin and Japanese Minister Te-
rauchi Are Divided by War.

An interesting tale of the great
struggle at arms between Japan and
Russia lies in a long established per-
sonal friendship between General Te-
rauchi, minister of war of Japan and
General Kuropatkin, commander in
chief of the Russian armies in Man
churia, and an exchange of swords
as presents between them on the eve
of the war.
They met in Paris 20 years ago. Te-
rauch, then a major, was a military
attache to the Japanese legation in the
French capital and kuropatkin, ma
jor general at that time, went to Paris
to observe the military maneuvers. The
two soldiers met first officially, and
there soon sprang up between them
a feeling of warm personal friendship
and regard. They parted in Paris and
did not meet again until Kuropatkin
came to Japan last year. The lapse
of years had brought increased rank
and cabinet portfolios for both, and
their reunion was an interesting one.
Events were then moving rapidly
toward war, but the rupture had not
come. and the two ministers met as
friends and freely enjoyed the reun-
ion. When Kuropatkin was about to
leave Japan for home Terauchi pre-
scented to him japanese sword with
blade of the finest workmanship and
interesting history. When he reached
Russia Kuropatkin gave an order for
the manufacture of a Russian sword
for his friend, Terauchi. 1t was tin
ished and dispatched in December and
reached the Japanese capital a week
before Togo's guns opened fire on Port
Arthur.
A somewhat peculiar thing about the
Russian sword is that it reached 10
kio with the blade keenly sharpened, a
custom followed by officers as rule
only in time of war.

Did Russians Sink Ships?

A statement that the Russian war
ships at Port Arthur were sunk by the
Russians as a protection from the
Japanese gunfre is regarded at the ad-
miralty as quite possible. If true, 1t
is interpreted as a sign that General
.Stoessel believes the fortress can hold
out until the arrival of the Second
Pacific squadron.
