Throughout the day 8t. Peter, wa, ,ur-

Vatican courtyard, where the bulletlna are
laaued.
Unusual rigor waa adopted to prev,nt

of Vatican sternness wa, the arreat of
Captain Smith, commanding the Swiss
guard, for having given Information to the

There waa a striking scene within 8t.
Peter, last night. In the middle vespers
th German students, all in scarlet cas
ock, entered the cathedral. Behind them
came German frlara In rough hair-cloth
cassocks and then German nuna In con
ventional black and white. These formed
a procession and, kneeling first at one
altar and then at another, prayed aloud
and In silence for pope Leo.
The congregation Joined In the proces
sion until the Baalllca waa half encircled
by a moving mass of color and when St.
Peters' tomb wa, reached many hundreds
followed the picture of the Savior, held
aloft by a statuesque monk.
On one side of the brass rails which
guard the entrance to the tomb knelt the
nuna. Opposite, three deep, were the
ahorn heads of the friars, while In the
center knelt the young students, tholr soar
let cassocks making a blame of color which J
stretched faf down the dlmly-llghted nave
for more than an hour no sound came
from these supplicants for divine Inter
position aave every few seconds the hoarse,
monotonous cry, "Ora pro nobis," the
dlrge-llke cadence of the guttural German
Voice, quite drowning the Italian choir,
which still sang the vespers at a neighbor
ing altar.
Pope's Room Simple. (
A many fantastic descriptions are In
circulation regarding the room where the
pope lies, one of the pope's nephews who
sees his uncle daily haa given the following
description:
The room is large, bright and airy. The
walls are hung with pale green and gold
silk damask. Entering It with the sun
pouring through the ample window. Is like
a taste of spring. A large curtain divides
the room and Is generally drawn open,
ahowtng on the right the modest narrow
brass bed covered with a red damask cover
let. Even In his desperate condition, Pope
Leo shows great daintiness with regard to
his person, performing a full toilet when
ever possible and changing dally his white
batiste nightshirt.
At the head of the bed Is a good picture
of the Madonna, beside a holy water font,
while tn the middle of the adjacent wall la
an Immense crucifix, reaching from floor to
celling, with an Ivory figure of Christ. At
the foot of the bed Stands a simple walnut
writing desk, at which the pope has written
the best of his Latin poems.
On ths other side of the curtain stands
the how famoua armchair, which Is most
comfortable, a small table, a few shelves
with the pope's preferred books' and noth
ing more. The chamber gives the Idea of
extreme simplicity, luxuries being rigor
ously banished.
Bates Manx People.
Even In bis present condition Pope Leo
has much objection to having people about
him, unless specially called, so that even
vhen he waa worst Dr. Laponnl and hla
valet Centra could only enter when rung
for.
Centra yesterday aaked if the pontiff did
not think It better to have company. The
pope replied tranquilly, "I am In good com
pany," pointing to the large crucifix.
Now and ' tbn the pope suspects -.that
something la being concealed from him, so
, when a copy of the medical bulletin was
brought him he read it and then rang.
To Centra, who appeared In response to
the bell, ho said abruptly: "Bring me an
other copy of the bulletin," emphasising
"another" and evidently thinking that the
first one had been doctored for his benefit.
as had been done before.
But yesterday Centra was able triumph
antly to bring another Identical with the
first.
. One of the greatest difficulties Is to pre
vent the pope from speaking too much,
When anyone Is allowed to visit hire he
Immediately begins describing !.'; satisfac
tion at the greetings he received on the
oooaslon of hi last Jubilee and also at the
manifestations of sympathy from all parts
of the world during hla present Illness.
Then either one. of the doctors or one of
his nephews steps In and, monopolising ths
conversation, obliges the pontiff to bo silent,
which he does not like at all
It Is wonderful what different Impres
sions people receive of the pope's condition,
For Instance, ' when Cardinals Ferrata,
Segna and Cretont left the sick room to
gether. Cardinal Ferrata, rubbing his hands
together, said: 'The Holy Father Is almoat
convalescent. We shall soon see him in
the Vatican gardens again."
Cardinal Segna, making the sign of ths
cross, sighed: "Our beloved pontiff Is lost.
while Cardinal Cretonl, shaking his head tn
doubt, exclaimed:
"Who knows T He nay die, still he may
get better."
King Victor Emmanuel has given orders
to keep the Qulrlnal palace In readiness, as
he may come to Rome any time from his

WASHINGTON, July 12. (Special.)
There la great activity In the Bay of Pe-Chl-LI,
due In great part to the moblllsa
tlon of American and British ships.
Within that great bay there la today as
sembled a larger number of Brltleh and
American vessels than ever before In the
history of the two countries. But a short
distance away, for distance la only rela
tive, the Russlane have assembled a fleet
of nearly half a hundred vessels, some of
them being the most powerful In the Rus
sian service. On the other side Japan haa
brought together the pride of Its navy,
ready to make demonstration should occa
sion arise over the Russian demand to
close Manchuria to the nations of the
world.
Meanwhile diplomacy of the most stren
uous krnd Is endeavoring to solve the right
of Russia to close the Manchurlan ports.
The open door In China is threatened and
upon the diplomats of the four leading
natlona of the earth devolves the question
whether t'.iere shall be a war such aa has
not been witnessed In a century or whether
the spirit of International . peace shall

According to a friend of Robley D.
Evans, who Is In command of our Asiatic
squadron, the admiral la looking for
trouble, but he is not exactly sure from
which end the trouble Will come, whether
from the interior of China, due to an
other uprising of the Chinese, or whether
the strained relations existing between
Russia and Japan will reach the breaking
point between these two countries. Ad
miral Evans la In close touch with condi

Clark 1 Bnlld a Palace.
Senator W. A. Clark of Montana Is ambi
tious In numberless ways. The richest cop
per miner In the world, he Is determined
upon erecting-In this city a home for him
self that will surpass In luxury and archi
tectural adornment any private house in
the country. Clark's millions have been
turned over and over in tneir ceaseless
earning of Interest, so that the Montana
senator has had lfttle chance to tell,- ex
cept In an Indirect way, how much he Is
really worth. The senator, nowever. aoes
nothing upon a small scale. He la a little
man with Tltanto Ideas, and he has there
fore decided to erect here the grandest
mansion ever contemplated for the national
capital and one that will entirely eclipse
hla own palatial residence, just completed.
In New Tork. Two firms of world-famous
architects, one In Paris snd the other In
London, are said to be preparing com
petitive designs for the new palace of the
Montant Croeaua. vrnen mese are suomit
ted to him, Mr. Clark will call for revised
plans, should any details of the one rejected
seem worthy or inclusion in tne one ap
proved. The plans for Mr. Clark's pros
Dectlve residence are reported to contem
plate a mansion extending from Connecti
cut avenue along the Dupont circle con
cave front around Massachusetts avenue
and Including the alte of the house now
occupied by Mr. Clark at the Twentieth
street corner. This would give the Mon
tana aenator a ground area far in exceas
of his most fortunate neighbors. Including
the Colorado millionaire. Thomas F. Walsh;
Lars Anderson, slso tne possessor of mil
Hons; Levi Z. Lelter, the father of Lady
Curson. wife of the viceroy of India; the
Townsends. and Mr. Patterson, the editor
of the Chicago Tribune, who married the
dauKhter of Joseph Mertlll.
With Senator Clark's elevation to a place
on tho foreign relatione committee of the
senate the Montana copper king has decided
that In order to properly entertain the dip
lomatlc corpa It will be necessary for him
to erect a mansion In Washington that shall
stand absolutely In a class by Itself, unap
preached by the residence of any other
man. Senator Clark Is a connoisseur of art
and of book and It Is now expected when
the plans for his Waahlngton home are ac
cepted that" the Clark mansion will be one
of the most famous snow houses of the na
tlon's capital.
Cities that Want Convention.
Politicians In Waahlngton and notwtth
standing the summer heat there are quite a
number of them hereabouts are already
discussing the places In which ths republl
can and democratic conveatlons will meet
next year. It Is understood that St. Louis
will bo a formidable competitor for conven
tion honora Baltimore, too, will enter the
race for both conventions, now that It haa
a magnificent new armory capable of seat
Ing 28, eon people. Among the leaders, how
ever, there Is quite a disposition to have
the republican convention meet la Chicago,
although It Is not understood that Chicago
cares particularly for this honor. There Is
some quiet talk of Omaha entering the race
for the republican convention, but so far as
ran be learned only quiet talk has been In
dulged In so far as Omaha la concerned.
The politicians have no desire to go to St.
Louis. They say that with the exposition
on St. Louis will be taxed to the uttermost
to take care of the exposition visitors alone,
without tsking anything additional upon
their handa like convention crowds. The
hotels In Chicago during the summertime
are but ordinarily filled, and as the Windy
City haa splendid facilities for taking care
of convention crowds It seems reasonable to
predict that the city by Lake Michigan will
once more entertain the national republican
convention and again have the honor of
nominating a winning ticket.
Irrigators Plan a Trip.
About thirty Washington Correspondents,
representing the leading papers of the coun
try, will attend the National Irrigation Con
gress to bo held at Ogden, September 15 and
16. aa the guests of the Union Paclfio Rail
way company. Tha details or the trip west,
which contemplates a twenty-day visit to
the most interesting places In the inter
mountain states, are In the hands of repre
sentatives of the land department of the
Overland road. While the Itinerary is still
In a nebulous condition, progress upon it has
gone so far as to show that the correapond
enta will go by way of Chicago and Kansas
City to Denver, stopping at the new experi
ment station at Hays City, Kan., enrout.
Three days will be given to Colorado and
the most Interesting features of the Cen
tennlal state. Cripple Creek, Greeley, Manl
tou, Colorado Springs and the Rocky Ford
Irrigation district will be investigated, to
gether with the sugar beet factory In that
state. A short stop will be made at Chey-
enne on the way to the congress. After 'the
close of the congress the correspondents will
visit Idaho and Montana, taking In the
cities of Butte and Anaconda of the latter
state, and It Is expected that they will be
the guests of Senator W. A. Clark, president
Of the National Irrigation Congress, while
In Butte. The Itinerary calls also for
visit to the large smelter at Anaconda and
the Inspection of the copper mines there
abouts. The party will come east by way of
Salt Lake City and Omaha. Many of the
members of the party hsve never been west
of Chicago and as the trip Is made for pur
poses of study and Investigation the op
portunity thus afforded to see the Inter
mountaln country will be exceptional. It Is
anticipated the party will leave Washing
ton September 9, returning to Washington
September 28 In ample time for the begin
ning or tne extraordinary session of the
Fifty-eighth congress in November.
FEW AMERICANS JOIN NAVY
Old Salt Describes Keif Conditions and
Corrects Misapprehensions Re
garding; Promotions.
Chief Master at Arms Collins, one of the
naval recruiting party that left the city
Sunday, was aboard Iowa during the de
struction of Cervera'a Qeet at SanUago de
Cuba in 1898. He Is an old salt of thirty-
two years' experience and is a native of
England. He said:
'There Is a dearth of native born Amer
icans in the navy that are what you would
can seamen. They are mostly foreigners.
The Scandinavians make our best seamen.
They are to the manner born, so to sneak.
The Americans and Englishmen make the
best gunners, and It is this class of men
war'a men that do the business behind
the guns. They are cooler under excite
ment and more reliable in a tight pinch
Tou must excuse me from talking about the
ngnt at Santiago. However, it waa a
beauty and Iowa, under command of gal
mm cignung boo mvana, , wasn't very
far from the front when the fun was going
on. Being my ship I speak from practical
observation. . . .
Vlt is a wrong idea that men enlisting
in tne naval service have no chance for
promotion. Good men are quickly recog
nised aboard ahlp and the officers are al
ways on the watch for bright fellows. The
American sailor haa the aame chanc. to
become an admiral now that a private In
tne army has to become a general. No,
the work aboard ship nowadays Is not so
bard. Cleanliness has got to be observed
and even marines have to take their turn
In helping clean ship. When young men
begin to realise that the rope's end and be
laying pin are no longer the disciplinary
agents aboard ship more of them will Join
tne navy. The naval officers are all gen
tlemen and treat their men with kindness
and courtesy, and It lies With tho TYin n
himself as to the treatment he recelvea
Attention to duty and discipline Is quickly
recognized and It does not take the young
est recruit long to reach the rank of a
petty officer If he at all deserves It."

GEORGIA, Neb., July li. (Speclal)-
There la great excitement and Indignation
on the headwaters of the Mlnnecadusa
creek. In Cherry county, over the action of
Senator Brown of this district in securing
the passage of a bill by the last legisla
ture designed to exterminate one of the
Industries of northwest Nebraska.
It will be remembered that Senator Brown
secured the passage of an act to extermi
nate the prairie dog In the atate of Ne
braska. When they were not exterminated
by the owner of the land on which they
had their habitat, then It waa made the
duty of the road overseer to destroy them
and charge the expense of same against
the land.
Louis Grosmentlr, who was one of the
earliest settlers on the Mlnnecadusa creek.
near this point, has for a number of years
been training the Inhabitants of a small
prairie dog town upon tils farm. As Is
well known, the most profitable crop that
can be grown tn this region is alraifa.
For the greatest success In growing al
falfa two things are necessary. First, that
the roots of tha alfalfa plant shall be
Infected with a certain fungus, and second,
that the roots should be able to pierce the
soil vand reach the water beneath. Mr.
Grosmentlr made the Important discovery
a few years ago that this fungus Is propa
gated by the prairie dog and carried by It
In digging lta burrows through the earth
so aa to thoroughly Infect the soil. When
he made thla Important scientific discovery
he set himself to train hla prairie dogs so
as to prepare the ground for alfalfa cul
ture. After four years of diligent applica
tion he has perfected his system so thftt
his dogs not only Infect the soil with
fungus but break through the hard pan tn
numberless places so ss to afford easy
access to the alfalfa roots to the all-im
portant water beneath. '
One of the most beautiful sights ever
witnessed in the redemption of the seml
arld west Is to behold Mr. Grosmentlr',
town of prairie doga at work preparing a
field for alfalfa culture. . v
It has Just been made known that under
the statute passed by the last legislature
of Nebraska these beautiful and Indus
trious redeemers of the region are con
demned to death. Mr. Grosmentlr Is taking
steps to test the law and for that purpose
will consult the most eminent counsel In
the state.

W. 8. Shuck Of Kansas City Is an
Omaha viator, stepping at the Merchants.
"Kansas City Is gradually emerging from
the flood disaster of last month," he said.
"The full extent of the damages Is only
beginning to be realized. The flood
wrecked district la a pitiable sight to see
even yet. Thousands of men are at work
removing the debris of the flood tn the
form of mud-encumbered basements and
cellars. Only yesterday another dead body
waa taken from the debris near the hew
electric light plant. While the loss of life
may not have been great, yet it will never
be known Just how many lives were lost
In the 'flood. Many curious things happened
during the flood. In some places up near
Armourdale, where there were vacant lots,
several houses floating down the flood
from no one knows where settled down on
the lots and can be made habitable with
but little expense. A farmer living about

was completely submerged, and he woke
up one morning to find a fairly well
equipped restaurant building had settled
Itself on his farm. There was some pro
visions In the structure and lots of good
furniture.-' A sign on the building read
'Saline restaurant' No claimant haa yet
put In all appearance for the structure,
which Is In fairly good condition i.nd Is
worth $300 or S400. The farm lands along
the Kaw bottoms for many miles west of
Kansas City are practically ruined. The
big potato plantations In that section are
ruined and about all that will be raised in
that section of the valley will be late corn
that can only be utilized for rough feed

diaries N. Dennlson of Boulder, Colo.,
was an Omaha sojourner Sunday, enroute
eastward to, stimulate some mining inter
ests with which he is identified. Speaking
of climatic and mining conditions in Colo
rado he said: "I do not see how folks down
here In the torrid tone manage to get
through the summer. Why, I have been
here two daya now, and I have never suf
fered so much from the heat In all my
life. We were chucking snowballs at one
another up at Boulder on the Fourth of
July, and since then the weather has been
glorious. ' Boulder is waking up tremen
dously thla season. The mines west of us
are all doing something and some good re
ports will come from there soon that will
astonish you. With Improved ore reducing
machinery, the low grade ores of Boulder
district can be worked with a big profit
and lota of money has been invented in
many of the old abandoned properties by
eastern capitalists who are not saying
much about It now for obvious reasons. I
waa in Denver a few days ago, and the
exposition fever Is beginning to manifest
Itself there. There Is some talk of a great
mining exposition there to commemorate
tho fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of
gold at Pike's peak. It la also proposed to
unite with It an exposition of agricultural
resources of Colorado, especially from the
Irrigated districts. The proposition is yet
In embryo, but Is likely to resolve Itself
Into tangible shape lmmedlate'y after the
St Louis exposition.
H. A. Gllksy was one of th editorial
visitors to the national convention here
laat week, coming from western Kansas.
He said: "Tou can put western Kansas
down for Roosevelt and proaperlty, for
that's us. Wheatt You never saw the like
and never was It better. This little story
we read here about the chinch bug getting
Into the wheat of our section la all bosh.
The wheat Is too far advanced to be dam
aged by anything short of a horse rssp,
let alone a little measly chinch bug. By
tha way, you people up here could do us
a good service by establishing a aort of
an exchange labor bureau with Kansas, to
help us out on harvest hands. We need
them. I was talking to one of your em
ployment agency men alnce here, and he
tella me that but very few men care to go
to th harvest fields these prosperous re
publican days. The season they regard aa
short, and they rather prefer railroad work.
I can hardly aee the logio of their argu
ment. No men are better treated than the
harvest handa, and certainly, none are bet
ter fed or paid. W will get' through with
th harvest aU right, but we could do It
ao much quicker with a big force of help.

make a speclijt; of engaging harvest handa

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 12.-John
B. Weber of Buffalo, N. Y.. lata commls-
sioner of Immigration at New York and i
chairman of the commission authorised by I
congress in 18S8 to Investigate In Europe '
the causes Inciting Immigration to this
country, waa a speaker today before the
Jewish Chautauqua on "The Status of the
Jews In Russia."
Mr. Weber charged the Russian restrict
ive laws as being responsible for the misery
and persecution from which people there
suffered. Taking up the lawa regarding
the right of residence, which he character
ised aa especially hard and oppressive, he
briefly sketched the history of the official
decreea regulating the area within which
alone the Jewa have been permitted to live
for forty years.
Jew Wlthont Rights.
Summing up the status of the Jew In
Russia, Mr. Weber said:
..T.1ay ne an aIlen th !n of'hls
..!!' . 8ubJ" who -bears an undue share
or the burdena of good government without
the privileges of the meanest cltlsen. Fet
tered In his movements, handicapped In his
vocation, restricted In his educational op
portunities, he is unable to protest and
powerless to successfully Invoke the protec
tion of the authorltlea. A slave without the
self-interest of a master to shield him from
abuse, he stands helpless, friendless and
defenseless against brute force, egged on
not only by religious Intolerance, but by
that Irrepressible conflict of the age be
tween government by autocracy and gov
ernment by the people. The Jew Is there
fore the sport of the rabble, the spoil of
the official, the football of fanaticism, the
buffer against which strikes the wrath of
bigotry, Intolerance and savagery.
After sssortlng the moral obligation and
the legal right of the United States to pro
test to the Russian government against its
treatment of Jews, Mr. Weber continued:
We cannot look without concern on the
arrival of the thousands of hunted, terror
stricken human beings who come to us
crushed In spirit and Impoverished In sub
stance, to enter Into competition with our
respected anil Belt-respectlng labor. Nelthr
Is It an answer to sny that we have tho
remedy In our own hands by closing our
ports against these people. This would
violate our every Instinct of humanity and
would war against the policy which has
niado this country great and prosperous
by confining immla-nitlon to normal causes
aione. the abnormal immigration rrom ;
Russ'a Is due to the laws and methods of
that country, and this gives us a legal and
moral right to object. Self-interest and
humanity unite in a loud call to invoke
such rights.
America Jewish Mecca.
Referring to the hope that a considerable
part of this stream from Russia might be
diverted to other lands, Mr. Weber quoted
the statement of an emigrant at Kovno In
the Pale:
"I am going to America, for tn that direc
tion lies hope. Here I have only fears to
confront me. The hop may prove delusive,
but the fears are a certainty. My great
ambition is to breathe, at least once, the
free air with which God has blessed the
American people."
These are the words of an uncultured
.Tew, and these are the sentiments In the
heart of every Jew In Russia.
Mr. Weber closed by calling attention to
those of the Jewish faith of the grave re
sponsibilities falling upon them In receiving
the thousands who flee from their op
pressors in aiding to establish them In
work and business so that they will become
aelf-sustalnlng, In distributing them so they
will not by congestion become a menace, '
to guard against the dangers of a rebound
from oppression to freedom, which so gen- .
erally accompanies the lifting of the pres- '
Sure snd so generally Interprets liberty to
mean license, and to Instill In their minds
correct principles of cltlxenship. Continu
ing, he said:
Be patient with these unfortunate people
and do not Judge them by ordinary stand
ards. Their lives from the cradle up have
been passed under extraordinary condition.
The grownup generation can never forget
their mistreatment, they cannot banish fear
and suspicion on epmmand, but their chil
dren can be fitted to enter upon our citizen
ship and made to glorify your race and re
flect credit upon our American Institutions.
