John Lateran to receive the remains.
The final resting place was chosen by
the late Pope himself. Shortly be-
fore he was taken with his last ILL
ness the Pontiff expressed to Cardinal
Satolli his desire to be buried in the
historic church. The spot he design
ated is on the left of the ape above
the entrance to the sacristy, corres-
ponding to the opposite niche in which
is the monument erected in 1891 to
Pope Innocent III.
A magnificent monument to mark
the site has been completed by Tad
olini, the famous sculptor. The artist
has reproduced not only the features
of the late Pontiff, but also his char
acteristic expression. Leo XIII. is re-
presented standing. His hand is out
stretched in an attitude of benedic-
tion. At his feet there are two fig
ures, on the right woman represent
ing religion and on the left man who
is at once toiler and pilgrim. In
all respects save the monument the
tomb is to be counterpart of that of
Innocent III, consisting of .sarcop-
hagus with a has relief, two inches,
two statues, and two medallions.

tBy George Davis,


Bismarck, Jan. 12.-It has always
been the custom of the legislature to
adjourn shortly after the organization
so that the several standing commit
tees may be. selected-if they have
not been arranged for in the formation
of the combinations wi,ich are always
organized for the purpose of control
ing the bodies-and the present one
was no exception. In fact, those who
have been here for several years tell
me that they are unable to see any
difference between the present control
of the house by what is known as the
insurgent-democratic combination and
the organization by the same body of
what is unpopularly known as the
gang Both are said to have looked
after their friends and to have distrib-
uted the patronage for the best inter-
ests of the combination. but if they did
that part better than the present Or
ganization they were. certainly past
masters in the art. But it is all right
and the fellow who kicks because the
boys have licked him is political
crank. The gang will be the last to
complain. The only thing is that 1t
seems funny to see reformers accom-
plishing their reforms by copying the
to-be-refOrmed.

prehensite review of the remarkable
change that is taking place in China,
as result of the PRONUNCIATION of the
recent decree reorganizing the Chinese
government, is supplied to the state
department by Edward T. Williams,
Chinese secretary to the American
legation at Pekin. Reciting orders
for the formation of two commissions
which will deal with reform projects,
Williams says that for over month
past these commissions have been
holding daily sessions, wherein two
strong parties have been struggling
for the leadership, one bent on secur-
Ing liberal government on modern
lines, and the other determined that
there shall be no departure from the
traditions Of the fathers. AS far as
1t has gone their report is compro-
mise, but many valuable features are
retained. Particularly worthy of note
Is the abandonment of the scheme for
a cabinet and of the proposed CONSOLE
dalton of the council of custom affairs
with the new board of finance, proba-
bly, because ,of foreign opposition to
further interference with the customs
administration.
The elfct itself hints at the greatest
difficulty which has been encountered
In reform movement, namely: "Wor-

Washington, Jan. 12.-It was nearly
3 o'clock when the senate completed
its morning business, and the Browns
vile matter was taken up. Many
members of the house were in the
chamber and every available soace
in the galleries was occupied when
Tillman took the floor to make his
address.
Tillman spoke on the Brownsville
incident. He characterized the presi.
dents action in the matter, "as moth
ing more or less than lynching." He
challenged anyone to produce in the
army regulations or articles of war
any foundation for the charge of con-
spiracy, of silence, mutiny and treason
made against the soldiers, although
he declared there was no doubt that
the soldiers were responsible for "the
outrage at Brownsville" Tillman
held that it was contrary to the
fundamental principles of liberty of
English and American law that the
innocent should suffer because of the
sius of the guilty as in this case. He
said 1877 men have been punished,
while not more than twenty have been
charged with participation in the
crime"

A RICH STRIKE.
John Wells and F. A. Baner Find 500
Ore Near the Occident

John Wells and F. A. Baner, who a
couple of weeks ago started to prospect
on the east slope of Crooked river, near
the Occident mine, struck rich crop
pings the latter part of the week, and
some of the ore Mr.. Wells exhibited in
camp Monday. The ore pans gold, and
a number of old miners who are capable
to judge from the colors say the rock
will assay over $100.
Mr.. Wells came to camp for grub, but
Baner didn't have time to waste on such
trif1ing errands, and when Wells left
the treasure Baner was digging like a
coyote to uncover more of the lead. At
that time they had 16 inches of the
ledge and it was exposed for distance
of 80 feet.
