HERALDED THROUGHOUT THE
THE CITY ANt ) WHOLE WORLD
"Kome July 21. Pope Leo XIII is
-dead. The last flicker of life expired
&t four minutes past4 o'clock Monday
[ afternoon and the ponti now lies at
'rest.
'rest.The
The period of over two weeks that
iPope Leo passed In the shadow o *
death was no less wonderful than his
{ life. Uis splendid battle against
disease was watched the world over
( with sympathetic admiration , and
-ended only after a series of tremen-
jdous efforts to coiiouer tbe weakness
jofjiis aged frame by the marvelous
fwlll power of his mind. The pleuro-
ipneumooia , with which his holiness
ihas been suffering was scarcely so
[ responsible for his death as the ine-
Hritafcle decay of tissue which ensues
upon ninety-three years of life. The
tested steel which had bent so often
before human ills was bound to
break at last.
Tonight , the emaciated and life-
Jess frame wnich held so brave a
spirit lies on tbe bed in the vaiican
beside which almost all the world
has piayed. The red damask cover
let rests lightly over the 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
chin , and in the hands which have
blessed many thousands bas been
placed a cruciGx.
Pope 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 Viars'
pontificate His was no easy dcaiii.
An hour before he died turning lo
Dr. Laponni and his deoted valet ,
Pie Centra , he murmured : "The
pain I suffer is most terrible , " Yen
his parting words were not of the
physical anguish that he suffered ,
but were wbispered benedictions
upon the cardinals and his nephews
who knelt at the bedside and tbe last
look of his almost sightless eyes \vis
towards the great ivory crucifix
hanging in the death chamber. Prac
tically all the ardina's umv in H-MUC
kneeling at tl - bedside , watched tin-
passage ol his soul. Earlier in tin-j
. day Cardinal Seranrio Vanr.utte.li !
had impressively pronounced the ab
solution in articulo n.ortis.
The condition of his holiness var
ied from agony to curnu. Wishing to
relieve him , Dr. 3J. xzoni suggested
that morphine should be adminis
tered , but Dr. Lapppni did not agree
fearing that the end night be qiiick-
sned.
Of his supreme moment Dr. Lap-
jLOni gives an impressive description.
He said :
"Death occurred through exhaus
tion , although in thi- last twj hours
Pope Leo made a supreme effort to
gather to.ether all his energies. He
succeeded in recognizing those about
him by the sound of iheii voices , as
his sight was almost entirely lost
Still he made a inarve'ons ' display o
his energy and even his death was
Really grand. It was resigned , calm
and serene. Yery few examp'es ' can
fee given of a man of such advanced
age after so exaustive an illness sho.\-
jing such supreme courage in dying.
fThe pontiff's last bieath was taken
'exactly at four minutes past four ,
jl approached a lighted candle to his
[ mouth three times , according the (
' .traditional ceremonial and afterward
{ declared the pope to ce no more. (
j Like a wireless message there flashed -
( ed around the world , "He isdead. . " j
Rubbing the afternoon sleep from
'their eyes , baiehraded men and
women , many carrying' babies.

before there had been no sign of life ,
The French ambassador's cariiag )
drove furiously from the Vatican an $
drew ur at a nearby telegraph office ;
Without waiting for the horses t {
stop , the ambassador jumped out
and notified his government of tb $
popes' death. There soon followed
the cardinals who , with set faces ,
drove slowly homewards.
Behind the . ' butters of Pope Leo's
room , which si 1 remained closed ,
all was over. The heavy bronz doors
were swung to and entrance , , to the
Vatican was only obtainile : bj
knocking at a little wicket wbi < b
was closely kepi within the papal
_ uard and without by the Italian
j police. The latter had been slight
re-inforced but had no difficulcy in
controlling the crowds who were al
lowed to remain in tbe square just

fore the death , but nut to enter the
Vatican i'self '
Carriages kept rattling up their
occupants mostly holding in their
hands extra editions announcing the
pope's death , which the local papers
quickly got out.
On the steps of St. Peters sat a
group of young Eoman princes dis
cussing the situation. Nearby was
gathered almost every type of peas
ant and working women who make
Rome so picturesque. A few entered - '
ed the basilica itself and there offer
ed up prayers for Pope Leo's soul.
Among the supplicants were many
monks , who , with hands uplifted ,
prayed long and earnestly at the
gates of the dimly lighted shrines.

The Battle at Ciudad Bolivai
Rages Desperately for
Many Hours
THE REBELS LAST STAND
Fight with Desperation but
Falling Back
GOVERNMENT TROOPS IN
MON COMBATANTS SUFFER TER
RIBLY BUT BESIEGING FORCE IS
ORDERED TO BE MERCIFUL
Soledad , Venezuela , July .2 10 a
to. Since the last dispa cb was sent
to the associated press at 3 o'clock
{ tsterday 'afterno , the battle be
tween the revolutionary forces at
Jiudad Bolivar and the Venezuelan
government array commanded by
Sencral Gomez , lias laged madly.
Block after block was disputed , the
government troops entering the city
Jowly. All the bous.es . had been bar-
Icaded and the revolutionists bad
oeen lorced from fiat roofs called
izotoas. When the revoluionists n'-
aally abandoned the houses , after
laving taken all that could be used
'or ' barricades , or otherwise to stop
ihe advance of the poven ment troops
; hey were immediately occupied by
She government soldiers , who bored
DM holes in them so as to commuui-
: ate with the next house.
The city appears to have been
struck by a cyclone. At 7 o'clock in
Ihe evening the government forces
'arrived near the center of Ciudad.
Bolivar. For two hours previously !
firing mid diminished , but it'was re-1
hewed with more vigor at 10 o'clock
it night- and illuminated the sky.
At 3 o'clock in the morning ft hen
the inhabitants of the commercial
Uirl foreign parts of the city , near
Uviameda , siw : the advance of the
troops , they abandoned
Jibeir homes and sought refuge in
other parts of the city , ciossing the
streets amidst a hail of bullets and
shells , the women carrying theirj
thildren , the strong helping the1
weak. Men , in trying to protect the
women , fell struck by bullets.
. In the midiie : of the streets what
with the firing , the yell of the
Wounded and the crying of the worn-
fan and children , a terrible scene was
witnessed , bad enough to disgust
anybody forever with civil war.
The government troops , however ,
acted with humanity , especially the
forces of General Rivas , who , tight-
ing bravely , was the first to order
the attacking party to te merciful.
At eight o'clock this morning the
governor general , having effected a
junction cif their forces , north and
suuth , and having received further
supplies nf ammunition , decided to
push the attack on the center of the
' jity. At 10 o'clock the govern
ment troops bar ! captured the north
side of the Aiameda , tih public park
yf Ciudad Bolive' , wl ich had been
defended by a double ro.v of barri
cades. Behind one ul these were
found more than thirty dead soldiers
lying oa top of each other , while
wounded men were seen on all sides.
At 10 o'clock the government coni-
mancleis , seeing that ou'y ' the artil
lery could make a breach in the bar
ricades of the Aiameda , ordered
twelve guns to open lire on them ,
and at the same time the Venezuelan
fleet , which had changed its anchor
age so as to bring its guns to beir :
effectually on the city , opened lire.
The -Idlers on both si.les ha\e
had no foo.l lor two days , no ambu
lances are being used and yet the
fighting continues.
Monday 4 p. m. , the advance of
jthe government troops reached the
market place. The old customs house
and the water works hive been tak-
en. The D ilton block , the property , '
of the United States consul , where1
all the leading German and French
firms reside , is now being attacked.
The jail is in the center of a terrible
resistance. All the Defeated revolu
tionists have concentrated there. It
is estimated that more than 20J men
have been killed in that vicinity.
The artillery of the revolutionists
is fiercely replying to the attack of
the fleet.
The capitol is still in possession of
the revolutionists , but the complete
success of tne government forces is
assured.

MOB LAW REIGNS
NORTH WYOMING SCENE OF LAW-1
LESSNESS AND TERROR.
Butte , Mont. , July 20. A special ,
to the Miner from Ked Lodge , Mont. ,
says :
Jim Gorman who killed bis brother
about a year ago and ran off with
'his ' brothers wife , and a man named
iWalters , who killed a widow named
'Hoover ' at the Hot Springs two years ,
.ago . because she refused to marry
jhim , were killed by a mob at Basin,1
Wvo. , Sunday. C. E. Pierce , deputy
'sheriff ' was killed durng the attack
on the jail.
A. state of lawlessness now prevails
In northwf stern Wyoming. - From
President Moffett 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 an appeal for help from "Sheriff
Fenton of Big Horn county , who has
arrested a number uf prominent cat
tlemen near Thennopoiis andbaa , ap
pealed to the governor of Wyounng
for assistance of the militia in i et-
tfng his prisoners to the Basin.
Et was reported to Sheiiff Fenton
/ast Wednesday morning that a mob
was coming up to Basin fuom Hiats-
ville and Tonslij ) , for the purpose" of
lynching Gorman and Walters. As
a measure of precaution the 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 handcuffs -
| cuffs and make his escape. Iln swam
ithe Big Horn river , an unprecedent
ed feat , and started for the moun
tains. A posse of seven men was
quickly organized and Gorman was
recaptured early Saturday morning
about fifty miles from Basin.
Last night a mob of about fifty
men rode up the east bank of the
Big Horn and compelled the ferry
man to carry them across the river.
They made no demonstration until
they entered Basin when five shots
were lired as a warning. The mob
proceeded at oiue tu the county jail
and fired a * volley intu the jail. Dep
uty Pierce and Special Deputy Meade
were guarding the piison < ; rs at the
time One bullet grazed Meade's
shoulder and entered Piece's heait.
Members of the mob then tore up
telephone poles and battered the jail
doors down. They first came to Wal
ters who was douched in his cell
pitdiusly begging lor mercy. JNo
needless torture was resorted to.
Walters was shot instantly.
The mob next found Gorman ,
whose body was pierced by five bul
lets , and he was left presumably
dead. He lingered , however , until
Sunday forenoon.
A still more alarm log state of
affairs is reported from the vicinity
of Them opolis. About six months
ago as a result of the range feud that
has been so bitterly waued , a sheep
man , Ben Minnuk , was killed by
cattlemen. The sheriff , it is nssert-
ed. has captured the murderers , v\ho
are all prominent cattlemen , and
whose names have been v.ithbeld ow
ing to the threats made against him.
Sheriff Fer.t'm is unable to pet his
prisoners to IB.isin.
It is said the same mob that lym tt-
ed Gorman and Walters are sjmpa-
thizer-s and have declared that Sher
iff Fen tun will never get ouc of the
louaiii-y jilive with his prisoners.
Sheriff Fentou lias wired the govern ;
or of Wyoming lor permission to
use the state- militia at Lander , and
has also sent tt1 ephon < : d messages to
Basin and other towns asking for
volunteers to assist him in uphold
ing the law. Everywhere hardy wes-
iterneis are responding to the calls ,
arming themselves and hastening to
ward Thermopolia.
Are Bloodhounds Reliable ?
Lincoln , Neb , July 20. The ques
tion of the reliability of the trailing ,
abilities of a trained bloodhound in
tracking men , is to be decided by
the supreme court at its Spptemoer
session. The matter is brmyht to
the. attention of the c-'tirt ' by th-5 fil
ing of a pet'.t'-.oti in error Friday in
the office.of ihe clerk uf th court
by George W. Brett against he state
of Nebraska , arid is a part of the
error on which the casi is carried up
from the Nemeha district court. The
plaintiff in error was convicted of
entering the residence or out- Frank
Kirkbridge , ne-ir Auburn ISTob , on
the morning of Julv , 5 1902 with in
tent to steal , and it is alleged thsit
he did r.ake . a few things for which
he did not have a bill of sale. He

SHOULD TALK W CHINESE.
Biv Chea Tnnz "Hans Chenc'a Advice
to Americans.
"Since say first acquaintance with
America and Americans , " saiu Sir
Chen Tung Liang Cheng , the Chinese
minister In a conversation with a writ
er of the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser , " 1 have become thoroughly
uouvlnchxl that my countrymen will
never succeed among you until they
mnko up their minds to muster the
English language and participate much
more freely in the life and habits of
your people. The gross ignorance of
a knowledge of English among my
countrymen who are here to stay Is
L'specisillj' to bhirne for the way they
tire disliked and , I must confess , too
often looked upon with contempt by
the American people.
"It is perfectly obvious , of course ,
that if my countrymen would rrmke it
ft first and necessary condition to mas
ter your language they would soon
tuake their true worth appreciated by
Americans , ns well ns eradicate that
nir of Inquisitiveness with which you
regard us.
"Certainly , too , it would in time beef
of Incalculable benefit to my country
nnd people if 3011 wore to Institute
the teaching of the Chinese language
in all your public schools nnd universi
ties. I am greatly pleased to note a
chair of Chinese language has already
been endowed in your Columbia uni
versity. There is , I am afraid , how
ever little hope of seeing at leastj
not for the next half-century my lan
guage being taught generally through
out America. It would take fully that
length of time , too , I believe , before
the undoubtedly great influence such
a knowledge among your people would
be felt in many ways for the betterment
'
ment of China.
"My countrymen , I know , have al
ways been a people of much mystery
to you , and they must necessarily re
main so iu a greater or less degree just
BO long as you continue to keep your
selves ignorant of our language and
\ve of yours. During all my acquaint
ance with America I have met only
three Americans who could converse.
\vlth 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 are who
ran speak the Chinese language. I
honestly believe that they could ba
counted on the fingers of my right
hand , now 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 the most. I believe that to be tha
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 an.
opportunity to make themselves pro
ficient In the English language they
would also soon desire and naturally
enough to assimilate with your people
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. "
BRITISH FORAGERS BRING
SORROW IN SOMALILAN&
The British are having troubles of
their own in Somaliland , although they
are said to be gradually bringing the
recalcitrants to terms. One of En
gland's greatest difficulties has been
the provisioning of her army. She
has been obliged to resort to a system
of foraging which is most effective ,
though not just what the natives
FORAGIXG IK SOM.ALILA2fD.
would prefer. The illustration shows
a flock of sheep rounded up for the
English army by the native scouts and
hangers on. To the credit of the Brit
ish officers it should be mentioned that
they never fail to pay for any ani
mals they may feel obliged to take in
this unceremonious manner , though
the owners suffer a long period of be ?
wailing their supposed ill-fortune , a ?
it is impossible for the average Sama-
lilander to understand why anybody
*
who is not required to pay his debts
should be foolish enough to do so.
A "Wilderness , Forsooth.
It might be thought that the day had
gone by when to the English min < ]
America appeared as a laud of wa. te
places and wildernesses unredeemed ,
But a story which a recent visitor to
England brings home shows that ther *
are still honest Britons who do uol
understand our ways of "life. jf
