To Move Body of Pope.

Rome. July 3O.--Secret arrange
ments have been made for the re-
moval of the body of Pope Leo XIII
from the vatican to the lateran,
which, according to his will, was des-
tined to be his last resting place.
When the body of Plus TX. in 1881,
was carried at midnight to the church
of San Lorenzo, an attempt was made
to cast 1t into the Tiber. Although
a repetition Of the outrage is not now
expected, the vatican unoffcially
asked for police assurances of safe
transit before the decision as to the
removal was taken.
The government was willing to give
the funeral a solemn character by
having 1t take place in the daytime
with military honors. The vatican,
however insists that the removal
shall be unceremonious, and that Il
shall take place in the night time
when, It Is believed, there will be no
possibility Of any unseemly Interrupt

ARNLENIANS, TARTARS ANDN
RUSSIANS IN RACE WAR

st. Petersburg, July 30.-As antici-
pated in these dispatches July 29, the
triangular truce between Armenians,
Tartars and the Russian troops before
Shusha was of the briefest nature.
The display of white flags and nam
ing of representatives of the warning
factions to arrange lasting peace was
but a prelude to the resumption of
hostilities yesterday upon a larger and
bloodier scale. The fighting is not
only in full progress at Shusa itself,
Ga town of 10000 people, $50 miles to
the southeast of Tiflis), the Tartar
quarter of which apparently is in
flames, but it has spread to the sur
rounding country. There the Tartar
population has risen and is striving
to overwhelm the Armenians and Rus
sian troops.
General Zoloschakov, in command
of the Russian forces, appealed ur-
gently for reinforcements. A battal-
lon of rlhemen at Yehsavetpol, the
nearest point where there are soldiers,
already has been dispatched to the
scene.
1t is worthy of note that the Rus
slams, who, In the disorders of last
year, were accused of protecting the
Tartars from Armenian attack, are
now themselves hard pressed by the
Mohammedan hordes.

TO do in the matter as to whether con-

United States minister at Madrid, has
cabled the state department that the
Spanish government has signified a
willingness to enter into a tariff ar

practically drafted a document which
will be submitted to the state depart

st. Petersburg, July 30.---The
public prosecutor has started proceed
ings against members of the lower
house of parliament who signed the
Viborg manifesto.
A manifesto to the peasants of Rus
sia has been issued in the joint names
of all the various labor. socialist and
revolutionary organizations, including
representatives of these organizations
in the defunct lower house. This
manifesto declares that the hopes re-
posed in the lower house of parliament
have been blasted by the diabolical
designs of the crowd of grand dukes,
courtlers and wealthy land proprie-
tors assembled around the emperor,
whose only purpose can be the main
tenance of their power over the peo-
pie.
This manifesto further accuses the
government of betraying the father
land by invoking the aid of German
and Austrian troops. The people are
therefore urged to remove the local
authority everywhere, to replace II
with men elected by themselves, and
to confiscate all state funds.
The troops also must conform to or
ders of those elected by the people
The workmen in the towns. the peas
antry and all toilers must, in con-
junction with the troops, seize the
liberty and take the land which the
government has denied them. The
land thus possessed must be handed
over to the popularity elected loca
authorities pending the elaboration oi
q new land law.
The manifesto calls for elections or
the basis of universal suffrage and
concludes with the words:
Down with the government anc
the emperor. Long live the dear ant
free Russian people"
