ROME. Jan. 3l.-The serious Illness OF
Cardinal Gotti project of the congrega-
ton of propa ganda, Is causing active
speculation in Vatican circles as to his
possible successor in the important Of
fee The position is considered by the
cardinals 10 be a most desirable one. as
il provides its holder with a fine apart
ment free Of rent and with large num-
Der of fees.
Apart from the financial consideration
the position is one Of great influence,
as the head OF the propaganda has 1ur-
isdiction over missions In all parts of
the world. So marked is this influence
that Tor centuries the project OF propa-
ganda has been popularity called the
"red pone."
There is hardly a prelate here who
doubts that Cardinal RampOlla. former

incumbent. consented 10 resign in order
TO make room for his colleague. But
Cardinal RampoTa would not then con.

cgy. He is now said 20 be willing 10 ac-
cept the Office should il become vacant,
and everyone here is OF the opinion
that no better choice could be made
Cardinal Rampolla held the position Just
before Leo XIII made him secretary OF
state, so he has already experience
which would make his services all the
more valuable
There is no truth whatever in the
report that the Italian government has
consented TO turn over to the holy see

missions The report had ii that an
agreement had been reached between the
Vatican authorities and Italian official;
under which the holy see was TO receive
from the government an annual sun

accumulated in past years, amounting
annually 10 slO5. 900.
America May Get Cardinal.
II is the general opinion in Vatican
circles that many years win pass before
another French cardinal is nominated
owing 10 the conditions now prevailing
in that country. which are very unfavor

LOCKED THE CHURHC
Trouble in Cumberland Presbyterian
Congregation in Marshall County


LEWISBURG, Tenn, July 16.-The
question of union with the Presby.
terrain Church, U. S. A., seems to be
causing a great deal of friction in the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church at
Chapel Hill and the members of that
congregation had quite an interesting
experience yesterday. When the con,
gregation reached the church they
found the doors locked and the win.
dows barred. Those favoring union
are largely in the majority and oppos.
ed to retaining as pastor Rev. Esh.
man, who is strongly opposed to
union, and 1t is claimed this element
had the church closed. A conference
of the leading members was held and
it was finally agreed that the church
should be opened provided Rev. Esh.
man was not allowed to preach. This
was done and the sermon was deliv-
cred by Rev. Holt, of Bedford county,
who is in favor of union.

HENRY CLAY
ALONE GUILTY
OTHER NEGROES CHARGED WITH
POST OFFICE ROBBERY ARE
RELEASED.

Some new developments came 10
light Monday afternoon in connection
with the robbery of the Columbia post
Office. Inspector Greenaway arrived
on the morning train and at once set
to work. After a thorough investiga-
ton he was satisfied that neither Will
Brown nor Lee Tindle had anything
to do with the robbery, and that Will
Browns explanation of the presence
of the money in his house was correct;
and that was that he saw Henry Clay
Evans Wilkes with the money, and be-
lieving the boys story that he had
found the money, simply took possess
ion of it till the owner could be found.
Brown and Tindle were therefore re-
leased.
1t now develops that Wilkes did not
steal the money found at the home of
Will Brown; that it was not
stolen from the postofice at
all, but was stolen from
Mr.. Jonathan Digger. Mr.. Digger
had his pocketbook containing SAB on
shelf in the Joe Ritz produce house
on the square, which he is running.
The bocketbook and money disappear
ed, and it is the presumtion that the
boy slipped in at an opportune moment
and stole it. Mr. Digger identified
the pocketbook and money, but he is
out about $21, which the negro had
either spent or given away.
Henry Clay was tried this afternoon
before U. S. Commissioner A. o. P.
Nicholson, Sr.

SONGS WHICH

been camping with her husband in the
Black Hills, owes her life to songs,
which saved her from mountain lion
which attacked her Tuesday night.

knocked her down and stood with it's
forefeet on her breast Mrs. Under

bered tht ferocious beasts sometimes
are tanned by music and began to
sing. AS long as she sang the animal
stood harmless, but whenever she
ceased it growled and appeared as If
about to kill her. All night long she
kept up her song and yesterday morn
ing, when almost overcome by exhaus-
ton, she was found by her husband
with the lion standing over her. Mr..

WELL FRUITED.
Cotton Crop as Whole in the State
of Texas.

DALLAS, Texas, July 16.-The Gal
weston Daily News second coffin crop
report for the season, which will be
published tomorrow, comprises 542 re-
ports from correspondents, showing
the condition on July II to be 1873 per
cent. better in Texas than upon the
same date last year; in Indian Terri
tory the same basis as last year
The conditions over Texas are more
nearly uniform than they have been
previously in several years, and many
correspondents say prospects are the
best since 1900. Excessive moisture
is reported from seven counties, and
elsewhere apprehension is expressed
that there may be too much rain. Thus
far there may be little damage from
pests. Boil weevils are reported in
sixty-six counties, with no damage in
forty-six of these, a little damage in
nineteen and much damage in one.
Boil weevils are reported in eight
counties, with damage in two. The
crop as a while is well fruited. In
eastern and southern Texas it is a
little earlier than last year; elsewhere
it is two to thee weeks later. Pick
ing is in progress in the southernmost
counties.
Conditions in the territories are
good, except that there is too much
rain In portions OF Indian Territory,
and in Western Oklahoma the crop
got started badly.
