DEATH WINS
THE BATTLE
Pope Leo Expires Almost
With the Ending of
the Day
THE WEARY BODY IS STILL
Conscious and Serene to the
Last Moment
DEAD FROM EXHAUSTION
MESSAGE OF DEATH IS QUICKLY
HERALDED THROUGHOUT THE
THE CITY AND WHOLE WORLD
"Rome July 21. rope Leo XIII is
jdead. The last flicker of life expired
at four minutes past! o'clock Monday
Safterooon and the pontl now lies at
"rest.
The period of over two weeks that
rope Leo passed in tbe shadow o'
tieath was no les wonderful than his
jlife. Ills splendid battle against
disease was watched the world over
wlth sympathetic admiration, and
jended only after a series of tremen
jdous efforts to coiKiuer the weakness
f.his aged frame by the marvelous
will power of his mind. The pleuro
pneumonia, with whieii ills holiness
has been suffering was scarcely so
responsible lor his death as the Ine
vitable decay of tissue which ensues
upon ninety-three years of life. The
tested steel which bad tent so often
before human ills was bound to
break at last.
Tonight, the emaciated and life
less frame wulch held so brave a
spirit lies on the bed in the Vatican;
besido which almost all the world
' has piaycd. Tho red damask cover
Jet rests lightly over tbe body, the
cardinal's scarlet Cape Is about the
shoulders, while on his head has been
placed the papal hood of velvet bor
dered with ermine. A white silk
handkerchief is bound about his
cbln, and in the hands which have
blessed many thousands has been
placed a crucifix.
I'opo Leo's final movements were
marked by that same serenity and
devotion and when he was conscious
that calm Intelligence which is asso
ciated with his twenty-five V:ars'
pontificate His was no easy dcain,
An hour before ho died turning to
Dr. Laponnl and his deoted va'et,
Plo Centra, he murmured: "The
pain I sutler is most terrible," ytt
his parting words were not of Hie
physical anguish that be suffered,
but were whispered benedictions
upon the cardinars and his nephews
who knelt at the bedside and the last
look of his almost sightless eyes w,is
towards the great ivory crucifix
hanging in the death chamber. Prac
tically all tho uirdlna's Bow iu Rune
kneeling at tl bedside, watched the
passage of his soul. Earlier in the
day Caidlnal Scranlio Vain utle ii
had Impressively pronounced Uu ab

The condition uf his holiness var

that morphine should U: adminis

fearing that the end ulght be iju ck

nl gives an impressive description.
He said:
"Death occurred through exhaus

Seneral Gomez, has raged madly.
Mock after block was disputed, the

Ibe city appears to have been

Other parts of the city, mossing tbe

women, fell struck by bullets.
In tbe mid lie of tbe streets what
with the firing, tbe yell of tbe
wounded and the crying of the wom

witnessed, bad enough to disgust
inyuody forever with civil war.
Tho government truops, however,
acted with humanity, especially the
forces of General III ias, who, light
ing bravely, was tbe first to order
the attacking party to te merciful.
At eight o'clock this morning tbe
governor general, having effected a

to the Miner from tied Lodge, Moot.,
says:
Jim Gorman wboklllfcJ bis brother
about a year ago and ran off with
bis brolhen wire, and a man Darned
(Walters, who killed a widow named
'Hoover at the Hot Springs two years,
lags because she refused to marry
jhiro, were killed by a mob at liasio,:
Wyo., Sunday. C. E. Pierce, deputy
Sheriff was killed durng the attack
oo tbe jail.
A. state of lawlessness now prevails
lo north western Wyoming.-- From
'President Motfett of the Montana
and Wyoming telephone company,
who is now making a tour of In
spection of his company's lines,
comes the news of the lynching and
of au appeal for help from 'Hheiiff
Fenton of liig Horn county, who has
arrested a number of prominent cat
tlemen near Thcrmopoiis ati(j,haa ap
pealed to the governor of Wyoming
for assistance of tho militia In get
ting his piis iners to tbe Hasln.
It was reported to Sheiilf Fenton
ast Wednesday morning that a mob
was coming up to Iiasin ftom Illats
ville and Tonslij', for tbe purpose of
lynching Gorman and Walters. As
a measure of precaution tbe sheriff
took these two men and a horse
thief out of the jail and secreted
them In a gully near town under
guard of Deputy Sheriffs Felix Als
ton and C. E. Pierce.
Gorman managed to slip his hand
;cufjs and make his escape. lie swam
'the Big Horn river, an unprecedent
ed feat, and started for tbe moun
tains. .A posse of seven men was
quickly organized and Gorman was
recaptured early Saturday morning
about fifty miles from Iiasin.
Last night a mob of about fifty
men rode up tbe east -bank of the
Big Horn and compelled the ferry
man to carry thern across the river.
They made no demonstration until
they entered Rasin when five shots
were fired as a warning. Tbe mob
proceeded at oni e to the county jail
and llred a volley into the jail. Dep
uty Pierce and Special Deputy Meado
were guarding the prisoners at tbe
time One bullet grazed Meade's
shoulder and entered Piece's heait.
Members of tbe mob then tore up
telephone pules and battered the jail
doois down. They first came to Wal
ters who was douched In his cell
pltemisly begging 'for mercy. No
needless torture was resorted to.
Walters was shot instantly. '
The mob next lound Gorman,
whose body was pierced by five bul
lets, and ho was left presumably
dead. He lingered, however, until
Sunday forenoon.
A still more alarming state of
affairs Is reported from the vicinity
of Thern opolls. About six months
ago as a result of the range feud that
has been so bitterly waged, a sheep
man, Hen Miunhk, was killed by
cattlemen. Tbe s-beiilT, it Is assert
ed, has caplured tho murderers, who
are all prominent cattlemen, and
whose names have been withheld ow
ing to the threats made agamst him.
Sheriff Fenton Is unable to get bis
prisoners to Iiasin.
It Is said the samo mob that lym b
ed Gorman and Walters are sympa
thizer, and have declared that Sher
iff Feu ton will nevei get out of the
locality alive wiib his prisoners.
SbeilfT Fenton has wired the govern;
or of Wyoming for permission to
use the stale militia at Lander, and
has also sent te lephoned messages to
Iinsln and other towns asking for
volunteers to assist him In uphold

houlo TALK In Chinese.
Sir Ckm Tunc Viang Che a n't Adrlce
to Americans.
"Since ay first acquaintance with
America and Americans," saiu Sir
Chen Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese
minister in a conversation with a writ
er of tte New York Commercial Ad
Vertlser, "I bare become thoroughly
convinced Hint my countrymen will
never succeed among you until they
make up their minds to master the
Lugliidi language nud participate much
more freely In ihe- life- and habits
your people. The gross Ignorance of
u knowledge of English among my
louiitiymen who are here to stay is
especially to blame for the svay they
are disliked and, I must confess, too
often looked upon with contempt by
the American pvnple.
"It is perfectly obvious, of course
that if my countrymen would make It
B first and necessary condition to mas
ter your language they would soon
make their true worth appreciated by
Americans, as well ns eradicate that
air of hKiui.sitlveuess with which you
1'egard us.
"Certainly, too, it would in time be
of Incalculable benefit to my country
and people If you were to institute
Ihe teaching of the Chinese language
iu nil your public schools and universi
ties. I am greatly pleased to note a
chair of Chinese language has already
been endowed in your Columbia uul-
verslly. There is, I am afraid, how
ever, little hope of seeing at least,
not for the next hnlf-eentury my lan
guage being taught generally through
out America. It would take fully that
lenglli of time, too, I believe, beforo
Ihe undoubtedly great Influence such
a knowledge among your people would
be felt In ninny ways for the better
ment of China.
"My countrymen, I know, have al
ways been a people of much mystery
to you, ami they must necessarily re-
maiu so in a greater or less degree Just
so long as you continue to keep your
selves ignorant of our language and.
we of yours. During all my acquaint
ance with America I have met only
three Americans who could converse;
with me, even fairly intelligently, in
iny own tongue. All three had travel
ed In China. I have often wondered!
not a little, since meeting them, how"
many more Americans there aro who
ran speak the Chinese language.
honestly believe that they could be
counted on the fingers of my right
hand. How densely Ignorant you are,
too, of our history, our mode of life,
our character, our wealth and poverty
and the tremendous future of our
Country.
"Some time during the present year
or next," Sir Chen continued, "I intend
taking steps to establish schools for
the Instruction of the English lan
guage In those sections of this country
where my countrymen are congregat
ed tho most. I believe that to be the
nearest workable solution for elevat
ing the general condition of the ma
jority of Chinamen here. If I can only
successfully secure for them such aq
opportunity to make themselves pro
ficient In the English language they
would also soon desire and naturally
enough to assimilate with your peo
ple more freely than It is possible for
them to do now, and otherwise also
Induce them to take an Interest in
their adopted country. America
would certainly not, I feel sure, lose
anything by the closer relationship."
