WORRIED ABOUT
 POPE'S CONDITION

Rome, Sept. 2.2tSpecial. )-The improve msnt in the condition of the Holy Fath- CT is most gratifying but there is fear that 1t is only temporary. AS a matter of fact, I am informed that the most distressing feature of the Pope's condition 70 his physicians Is that he does not seem to care greatly whether he lives or not Not that he evinces any desire { to die, but he simply Is indifferent.
 He follows the doctors directions ss nearly as possible but it is a perfume tory way. He has never been happy in tho confinement necessary to Papacy, and when he Is called away he will obey the summons cheerfuly
 It Is this indifference to death which makes 1t improbable that even the best of care can prolong his life for many months.
 Cardinal Rampolla recently celebrated his 69th birth anniversary. He is hale and hearty, and looks good for many years. The Pope is convinced that Car dinal Rampolla will succeed him in the papacy, and consults with him apparent 1y with that idea in mind
 Cardinal Rampollo in common with the other members of the Curia is suffering from overwork, due to the remarkably small number in the sacred college As result, the responsible heads of depart ments are tremendously overburdened. Secretary of State Merry del Val has not had holiday for eight years. Cardinal De Lai. secretary of the consistorial con gregation. when he goes for few weeks into the country takes with him a formidable pile of documents requiring attention. Cardinal Martinell Is over whelmed with work The impression now is that some at least of the vacancies will be filled in November
 Bishop Hanlon of Unganad. Africa, re-

gently paid his respects to the Pope. The holy father was particularly interes- ted to hear that the capital of Unganada was built on seven hills as is this city. He expressed his deep sorrow when the Bishop told him that the victims of the sleeping sickness numbered about 5000 persons.
 The cholera epidemic Is still on In Pal ermo. Information has been received in Palermo for some time past that deaths from the plague have occurred daily ever since the last big outbreak. Owing to this Palermo has been empty excepting for the natives and a few strangers who were unable to learn of the plague stricken state until after entering the place.
 The Duke of Camobello was recently arrested at Genoa a charge of de- frauding tf~ hotel keeper where he lived The duke is well known in society and is nephew of Cardinal Rampolla. This is not his first exploit.
 Some time ago he achieved notoriety by narchasing costly presents for we'll
 own actress and ultimately making ner pay for them At Genoa he had been in the, company of a we'll known woman.

HOUSE OF COMMONS
 VOTES FOR SALARY

London. August 11.--A radical de- parture from the principle of gratuitous public service, which hitherto had pre- vailed in the house of commons, was provided for tonight when the house by vote of 256 to 15s, adopted a reso- Iution to pay it's members 5000 an nually for their services.
 The resolution was moved by the chancellor of the exchequer, David Lloyd George. The chancellor said Great Britain was the only country in the world that did not pay members for their work in parliament, which nowadays was so strenuous that the members had little time to attend to anything else.
 The unionists opposed the payment plan on the ground that 1t would be violation of the principle of gratu- itous public service. as well as im- proper for members to vote themselves salaries.
 Arthur Hamilton Lee, unionist who moved the official unionist amendment against salaries, argued that the ef- feet of the chancellor's bill will bs parliament with professional politi- clans. James Ramsay Macdonald, la. Dor leader, denied that the measure would cause corruption, and said 'it would tend to help the tide of purity which is flowing over American poll. tics.'

PLAN SYSTEM FOR
 AIR NAVIGATION

Washington, August 1.-The misadven- ture of Army Aviator Capt. Paul Brook, who recently was lost an hour in the clouds and landed in a strange place rather violently. has served to direct at tention to the efforts being made by Cap tain Chambers, in charge of naval aero nautics, to devise a plan to keep aero planes and dirigibles in their proper course.
 The ordinary marine compass Is almost worthless as a means of direction in the air for the reason that there is no way in which the aviator can determinme the extent of his drift, once he loses sight of the earth.
 Details of the naval plans for meeting this condition have not been worked out, bu, it is believed they have to do with the establishment of a vast system of base lines. How these are to be identified, however, is yet matter of conjecture.
