Rome. March 13.-Bishop Giovanni Tacci Porcelli, the newly appointed apostolic delegate to Constantinople, has departed for his post to take up his duties. This appointment is the subject of much comment in view of the fact that France. in the person of her Ambassadors. is still exercising the duty of protecting Catholics in the Orient and that the relations be- tween France and the Holy See have been broken.
 Great secrecy is maintained concern ing the instructions given Bishop Por- celli as to how he shall act in his delicate situation. The Associated Press learns that in all ceremonial and general matters Bishop PorcelliN is in- structed to ignore the rupture between France and the Holy See, but that in purely religious matters he must per init no interference from the French Ambassador whilst orders have been sent to all Roman Catholic congrega tions in Turkey, without distinction as to nationality. to recognize the para mount authority of the delegate.

ASTHMA CHOKED NEGRO TO DEATH
 IN WAITING ROOM AT UNION DEPOT

Joe Dawson. a negro of Hurtsboro, died in a waiting room of the Union railway station yesterday morning.
 As the passengers from Louisville and Nashville train No. g, the Rirming- ham accommodation. at 9 o'clock yester- day morning, were streaming across the platform to the exit gates the figure of a negro man was seen to drop to the ground as if he was shot,
 For a moment tho station employees were dazed. Then a stretcher was hastily sent to the prostrate man and he was carried to the waiting room for negroes. at the north end of the build ing.
 Fan me. fan me. For Gods sake give me some air." pleaded the negro whom 1t was seen was in the last stages of asthma.
 Everything possible was done for him. but death in its most horrible form had already grasped his throat with its clammy, memorable hand. and in a few moments the negro had choked to death.
 Coroner w. H. Tice was notified. He hurried to the station, but he saw there

of Representatives where was assem- bled a gathering, the like of which has rarely been seen in the State.
 The floral offerings both at the Cap itol and the grave were arranged by members of William B. Bate Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, and were remarkable for profusion and beauty. The family and accompanying party entering the chamber was headed by Dr. Lansing Burrows. Next came the other officiating ministers, who were followed by the family, with Mrs. Bate on the arm of her son-in-law, MT. Mar tin.
 When pr. Burrows rose from his seat in the chair which is usually occupied by the Speaker of the House and held up his hand for silence. the hall and galleries had been filled almost to suf- location.
 The choir sang How Firm a Foun- dation. passage of Scripture se- lected from Revelations was read by pr. G. A. Lotion. Prayer was offered by Dr. James H. McNeilly.
 The choir sang Land of Beulah." and pr. Burrows arose to deliver the first address. Dr. Burrows was followed by Rev. D. C. Kelly, an officer under Bate during the Civil War, who paid elo- quent tribute, concluding:
 Soldier, patriot. Christian. sleep well until we meet again.
 Prayers were offered by Rev W. M S. Wilkes and Rev. John H McFerrin. and the services at the Capitol were brought to a close.

was no use for anything but the for nal statement: Death caused by asthma"
 In the pockets of the clothes worn by the negro were three silver dollars, ticket from Marbury to Hurtsboro, and piece of brown paper with the following written in very irregular hand writing: Joe Dawson, from Mar bury to Hurtsboro. If he gets worso or anything happens on the road send his body to Hurtsboro." The poor negro was evidently aware of his critical condition before he left Marbury, but he was trying to get home before the end came and took this precaution. His worst fears were realized.
 Not knowing anything about the people of the negro. the coroner turned the body over to a negro undertaken to be prepared for burial at the ex- pense of the city. With not a mourner, there was a pitiful funeral yesterday afternoon. and the body of Joe Dawson found its six feet of earth in the negro portion of the potter's field.
